So, I was getting an update from Rob Hile, who is the new director of strategic accounts for SureView Systems, about his plans to drive business for the software provider. His plan is an interesting new take on the sometimes touchy topic of PSIM.
SureView, which has been around for 14 years, is fairly well known for its Immix software platform in the central station world, but Hile's goal is to expand Immix's horizons way beyond the central station world.
In the past two or three years the company "made a few tweaks" and the result is a "mid-market, situational awareness/PSIM solution ... that's cost effective, lighter, faster and cheaper [than other PSIM solutions]," he said. "It's cloud-based and it's dot.net, so it's super easy to install and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to operate it."
While high-end PSIM solutions allow an operator to "fly through buildings using a joy stick ... do you really want your guards in your SOC who are making $8 to $9 an hour flying through your building looking at graphics?" he asked. "No," he told me, answering his own question. What you want is a system that will allow the operator to handle an emergency quickly and efficiently and with the software, backed up by standard operating procedures, he said.
Well, in some applications, ports for example, you might want a joy stick-enabled PSIM and other bells and whistles, but Hile is betting that the majority of applications that could use this solution fall into the middle-market category. Those include "cities and municipalities, higher education, Fortune 500 companies with multiple locations across the country that are doing acquisitions, pharmaceutical companies, retail, banking."
"The central station software has integrations built to 450 devices and about 65 manufacturers. We've got those done and the list is growing. ... and the licensing model is that you buy it and you can put in on as many servers and workstations as you want and we're not going to gouge you for that."
As he develops SureView's channel strategy, Hile will be working with large and mid-sized integrators--several of whom he's worked with or competed with previously. As an example, he'll be working with one large integrator's sales force (which numbers in the hundreds) educating them about SureView and helping them close deals when the time comes.
That sales force will be a "force multiplier" for SureView, Hile said. "If you're looking for a joy stick to fly through buildings, this is not the solution, but if you really want a user-friendly, cost effective solution to solve your challenge. I've got it. ... This is going to change the way PSIM makers go to market," he said.
Time will tell of course, but companies like SureView, that seek to change the PSIM model certainly bear watching.
We wrote this fall about a new smoke/CO detector so smart it can talk to home residents and tell them if there's a fire or dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. Now Google likes that detector—called Nest Protect—and other products made by California-based Nest Labs so much that it is buying the smoke alarm company for $3.2 billion.
The deal, announced this week, is Google's second largest acquisition so far, after its 2012 purchase of Motorola, a mobile phone maker, according to news reports.
The Wall Street Journal reported this week that "Nest has the lion's share of the nascent market for 'smart' thermostats and recently began selling smart smoke detectors."
The WSJ also says, "Analysts and executives see Nest as a beachhead for Google to expand its place in the home." Nest will retain its brand, according to news sources. It will be interesting to see what it and Google will do in the home automation space with Google's big bucks behind the effort.
Here's more of what Nest had to say about its new detector back in the fall when it was released:
The Nest Protect detector speaks and gives users a vocal "heads up," telling them what it detects before emitting an alarm. It can be silenced with the wave of a hand and will send messages to integrated mobile devices to ask for new batteries.
"We've all experienced the smoke alarm going off while we're cooking or searched for the source of that incessant low-battery chirp in the middle of the night," said Tony Fadell, founder and CEO of Nest. Fadell, a former Apple executive, said those annoyances lead people to trust their alarms less, or turn them off to stop the noise.
The company says studies have shown children sleep through beeps, but wake up to the sound of voices, so Nest Protect features a female voice alarm to help wake sleeping children.
Nest Protect senses heat, carbon monoxide and smoke levels as they rise to offer early warnings. The device shows its sensors and batteries are working with a green glow when lights are turned off. Multiple devices in a single home connect, sending alarms throughout the house when problems are detected.

Ken Lochiatto is the new COO and president of Convergint Technologies, the Illinois-based systems integrator announced today. Lochiatto comes to Convergint from WMS Industries, an Illinois-based electronic gaming and amusement company, where he was EVP and COO, and for the past 18 months was been president of WMS Gaming, a main subsidiary of WMS Industries. While Locchiatto's background is not security-specific, he's certainly familiar with the casino vertical. WMS Gaming is a "$700 million supplier to the global gaming business."
I had a quick chat with Convergint CEO Dan Moceri who said that Locchiato fills an open position created when Jim Botwell stepped down for medical reasons.
At WMS, Lochiatto is credited with driving improvements "in the company's processes to be more customer-centric, while nearly doubling WMS' revenues, operating margins and competitive positioning." Before joining WMS, he was with GE for 22 years. Most recently he served as Business Leader—Advanced Communications Systems, "a system integrator for the transit industry within the GE Transportation segment." Lochiatto has a BA in mechanical engineering from Rensselaeer Polytechnic Institute and an MA in industrial administration, from Carnegie Mellon University.
"Ken has a strong engineering background, [which is important] since we're a highly technical company, but the key reason we hired him is his excellent leadership skills," Moceri said. "He'll support and grow our culture, which he fits very well."
With Locciatto looking after Convergint in North America, Moceri will be able to "focus on strategy and acquisitions and continuing to build out a world wide or a global platform."
In August, Convergint brought on a new capital partner [KRG]. "The result is that we have the opportunity to add an acquisition strategy to supplement our organic growth … which has been 21 percent per year organically," Moceri said.
After the recent acquisitions of ICD, a company Moceri describes as the "Convergint of China," and FSC in Canada, "the next thing we're going to do is go to Europe."
Yes. Moceri is looking now for "the Convergint of Europe" to acquire and he says he's got some target companies.
The idea, he says is to "do all the things we do for our customers—Boeing, Capital One, Amazon, Dell—in their facilities all over the world. What we do in North America … we will be doing around the world," he said.
2014 is looking to be a busy year for Convergint, Moceri said.
Several organizations recently joined PPVAR's growing membership roster, but two of the new additions are particularly striking. Digital Life, a home management platform from AT&T, is now on board, according to Keith Jentoft, an industry liaison for PPVAR. This comes about seven months after Digital Life earned CSAA Five Diamond certification.
Investment bank Imperial Capital also joined the organization. This is doubtless an interesting development as well, with Imperial being the organization's first member from the private investment side. In a certain sense, an investment bank showing interest in video verified monitoring seems unsurprising, given signs of the technology's more mainstream direction, plus the technology's ability to drive higher average revenue returns per customer. Additionally, when a private investment bank allies itself with a best-practices organization, it suggests their interest in the value proposition runs fairly deep.
The group also added The Illinois Alarm Association and the Michigan Association of Police Chiefs as members—both organizations the likes of which we've become more accustomed to seeing engage with PPVAR, an organization focused on pooling knowledge from members in both public and private sectors.
As PPVAR forges ahead toward its goal of written standards for video verification, I'll be keen to see what kind of bearings its new members have on the organization's direction. Will the addition of Digital Life compel other cablecos and telecoms to join? And with respect to Imperial Capital, I'm curious to see what kind of role they play in promoting PPVAR's cause. Will their membership generate further interest in video verification from other private investment groups?
The organization is convening in the coming days, Jentoft said. After they do, I hope to get a clearer picture of where the organization is at this stage of the process.
ADT announced at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week that it is partnering with Ford Motor Company in 2014 to enable drivers to do such things as open garage doors or control their thermostats from a car.
The company also is partnering with Internet security provider McAfee this year to offer customers a plan that not only protects their homes but their digital devices and data. Additionally, ADT is partnering with health solutions provider Ideal Life to support its ADT Health platform "with real-time health management services."
ADT also announced it has added enhancements to ADT Pulse—such as remote garage door control.
The announcements all have one thing in common: expanding ADT's security reach beyond the customer's home.
"As a pioneer in the home security and automation space, ADT is focused on evolving the security industry by developing new ways for consumers to integrate our products seamlessly into their everyday lives," said Arthur Orduña, senior vice president and chief innovation officer for ADT, in a prepared statement. ADT, which became an independent company in the fall of 2012 after splitting from Tyco International, had a booth this week at the CES show for the second year in a row.
Here's more from ADT on the new PULSE enhancements, which will be available this spring:
ADT PulseVoice App: ADT Pulse Voice app offers the hands-free convenience of using voice commands to control nearly all areas of the home in the Pulse ecosystem, including lights, thermostats, door locks, small appliances and security systems. ADT Pulse Voice also responds to user's vocal commands and provides auditory feedback on system status and confirmation of actions.ADT Pulse Wireless Platform: The ADT Pulse Wireless Platform features an innovative and sleek design with an intuitive, touch-friendly user interface. The wireless control panel securely and safely manages all ADT Pulse controlled devices such as lights, thermostats, locks, and small appliances. Created with the user in mind, the ADT Pulse Wireless Platform is designed to deliver a non-invasive and seamless installation experience for homeowners, reducing installation time by half and avoiding any in-wall wiring.ADT Pulse Remote Garage Door Control: To help ensure security and control at all access points of the home, ADT Pulse will feature remote garage door controls by incorporating leading technology developed by Linear LLC. This new feature will enable users to secure and control their garage door via the ADT Pulse smartphone app from around the corner or around the world.Canopy App: Building on the trusted expertise of ADT home security services, the Canopy mobile application for iOS and Android provides users added personal protection and networking while on the go. Canopy enables users to identify the whereabouts of and communicate with friends and family members in a designated virtual circle. Additionally, the integrated ADT Chaperone feature provides a direct line to trusted ADT monitoring centers anytime and anywhere. ADT Chaperone is a subscription-based feature within the Canopy app that provides added protection and peace of mind in situations such as entering a dark parking garage or walking alone across campus at night.
Alarm.com's new Wellness solution, unveiled recently at CES, may perform some of the same functions as a traditional PERS unit, but the solution has the unmistakable stamp of an Alarm.com offering.
The solution combines mobile notifications and sensors with the company's home automation platform, a medley of functionalities that make it a unique contribution to the independent living product realm, which is fast becoming a widespread RMR-generating fixture in the industry.
That's not to say Wellness doesn't feature some of the typical trappings of more traditional PERS technology. The solution includes panic buttons, for instance. But how the offering differs from traditional PERS units in some ways parallels how Alarm.com initially distinguished itself as a company in the residential security space—through its automation functions. Through a network of sensors, the solution can automatically detect unusual information and send mobile notifications to caregivers.
Since Wellness is fully integrated with the company's home automation, energy management and security services, the offering essentially slots in as another component of the broader ecosystem of a connected home. Another neat wrinkle to the offering, and one that maybe shouldn't be surprising given the overarching design of the solution, is that it enables caregivers to adjust household devices like thermostats remotely.
It's hard to think of a product perfectly analogous to this elsewhere in the industry, though that doesn't mean there's not one, or at least something similar in scope and breadth. In the coming days, once CES is in the rearview mirror, I plan to speak to Alison Slavin, VP of product management at Alarm.com, to find out more about how this product puts a new spin on the PERS space, as well as what the future holds for the company in that market.
Will Securadyne be the next Convergint?
That's a possibility, according to Bill Bozeman, CEO of PSA Security. Bozeman has experience building a systems integration firm and knows both of the players in the Securadyne/Intelligent Access Systems deal that was announced yesterday.
In case you missed it, Securadyne, a start-up integrator founded by Carey Boethel and Pamlico Capital in early 2012, yesterday announced that it has acquired Ron Oetjen's company, Intelligent Access Systems, one of the most successful and fastest growing regional integrators in the country. Here's the a link to the story.
I talked to Bozeman today about the deal. He offered his opinion of the union and also discussed the stages of growth for integration companies—and the new challenges that come along with those different stages.
"I know both guys [Carey and Ron] well very well. They're both PSA Security equity partners and owners. The consolidation, from our perspective, appears to be a good solid one. Carey is building a hell of a company with Securadyne; it looks to be the next Convergint, [and] congratulations to him [for that]," Bozeman said. Convergint is not a member of the PSA Security flock, but Bozeman praised [Convergint Technologies' CEO Dan Moceri] for building a very solid company.
Bozeman identified three growth-stage milestones for integration companies and the specific challenges that arise when companies grow past a certain stage. Those milestones occur when a company reaches: A.) $3 to $5 million in revenue; B.) $10 - $15 million in revenue, and C.) $50 million in revenue.
To get to $3 to $5 million in revenues you need to be a strong, entrepreneurial company, but to become a larger company, "You can no longer do everything yourself. You have to have a management team to help you with sales, technical and finance decisions," he said. "This is a stage that a lot of companies can't or don't want to get past," he said. The reason? They may be happy making a nice living and being the entrepreneur in charge, Bozeman said.
The next stage of growth hits when a company is doing $10 to $15 million in revenue. "They normally have more than one office and they need infrastructure. To get to the next level you need to hire well paid management people, and that can put a strain on profits of a company unless they're well financed, which is unusual for most integration companies, or if they have a solid RMR model," Bozeman explained. He also noted that Ron Oetjen had already successfully moved IAS past this stage.
The third stage of growth is at around $50 million. "That's when you really start to need a CEO and a senior management team made up of VPs that are experienced and are well paid," Bozeman said.
"Carey has already been president of Netversant and Siemens. He's the ideal guy [to shepherd this company along] because he already knows what it's like to run a company that's $70 to $100 million or $200 million and beyond [in revenues]," Bozeman said.
"Carey's a polished, senior level business guy who's experienced on the large corporate side as well as on the entrepreneurial side. … And with Ron he's got a super field general [who brings with him] a strong middle-management team. Put that with Carey's existing team and you have a nice equation for further success."
Bozeman said it's very important that Securadyne has a financial partner that knows the security business. "That's an advantage," he said. Pamlico Capital is a $2 billion Charlotte, N.C.-based middle-market private equity group. Pamlico was an investor in Sonitrol, but exited when that company was sold to Stanley Works in 2008.Not all capital partners understand the security integration business, Bozeman noted.
Of course, Bozeman said, growing a national integration company is not an easy thing to do. "The proof will be in the pudding."
DirectView Security Systems, a division of New York-based DirectView Holdings, is adding a video verification component its offerings to clients, which include both commercial and larger residential customers. As part of the initiative, the company plans to incorporate central station alarm monitoring and remote video surveillance into a comprehensive security solution.
In its initial announcement, DirectView stated it would provide a state-of-the-art UL-Listed facility for these services, but at this this juncture it's not clear who that third-party partner will be. Security Systems News reached out to DirectView but did not receive a response by press time.
The impetus behind the video verification push, the company noted in the announcement, is multifaceted. As any champion of video verification will tell you, the value proposition lies in the technology's ability to add the extra layer of security of trained professionals monitoring video footage, while saving clients money by reducing false alarms. In the announcement, the company said the solution will enable clients to also save money by reducing their dependence on on-site staff.
The verification component can also provide added urgency to a legitimate alarm, making dispatches a higher priority for law enforcement.
"We have received numerous inquiries from both current and potential clients about these services as part of a comprehensive and competitively priced security solution," Roger Ralston, CEO and chairman of DirectView, stated in a press release. He added that the central station initiative is designed to make the company a "one-stop-shop" for comprehensive security solutions.
Chicago-based integrator SDI is going to Atlanta—with the hire of security veteran Bob Carter, who will serve as director of sales for the Southeast region of the country.
He'll be working closely with X7 staff, a Washington, D.C.-based integration firm that was acquired by SDI in August.
Carter comes to Iron Sky, where he has general manager and helped "build city surveillance, LPR and data integration solutions for public safety and police departments." Before that he was with Sentry Technology and also served as a Deputy United States Marshal.
SDI redesigned its sales organization and opened a Texas office in October.
"We've had our eye on Atlanta," Dawn Pfeiffer, SDI CMO told me. IN addition to the critical infrastructure and government opportunities, there are a lot of commercial opportunities in Atlanta, she said.
SDI has had a very active year. In June it acquired i-sys and one month later it acquired X7.
SDI specializes in complex technology systems and network infrastructure for critical infrastructure. SDI customers include airports, utilities, schools, 911 centers and public transit and toll authorities. Since June of 2012, it has been owned by LLR partners, a $2 billion investment firm.
The company will continue to be acquisitive, Pfeiffer said. "We're looking to add a third acquisition within the next six months."
I wrote back in November about how Brendon Merkley, the COO of Vivint Solar, had left to work for SolarCity, Vivint Solar's larger competitor.
Now, Vivint Solar—an affiliate of home automation/home security provider Vivint—is suing Merkley for breach of contract.
In the lawsuit, filed Dec. 4 in U.S. District Court in Utah, Vivint Solar said it is bringing the case to prevent Merkley "from violating his contractual non-competition, non-disclosure, and customer/vendor non-solicitation covenants by going to work for Solar City." Vivint also wants to stop him from disclosing trade secrets and soliciting Vivint Solar's employees to go and work for SolarCity, the lawsuit says.
Vivint Solar is seeking to have the court restrain Merkley from working for Solar City for the time period his non-competition covenants apply. Vivint Solar also is asking for damages.
However, in another twist, Merkley and Solar City, which is based in in San Mateo, Calif., are suing Vivint Solar in California state court, saying non-competition covenants Merkley signed with Vivint Solar are unenforceable under California law, according to Vivint Solar's lawsuit.
Vivint Solar, based in Provo, Utah, was established in 2011 and quickly has become the nation's second-largest provider of residential solar systems, employing the successfull door-knocking sales techniques of Vivint. However, Solar City, founded in 2006, is the largest home solar provider.
Merkley was one of the original executives of Vivint Solar and a board member, so had an in-depth knowledge of the company, according to the lawsuit. He was "the face and voice of Vivint Solar" with the public and at community events and industry functions, before starting his new job at Solar City on Dec. 1, the lawsuit says.
Merkley tried to recruit a Vivint Solar VP to join him at SolarCity before he left Vivint Solar, but the VP refused, the lawsuit says.
Merkley was not the first Vivint Solar executive to bail for SolarCity. Former Vivint Solar CEO Tanguy Serra also joined SolarCity last spring.

Live: VH1 Brings Out The Divas At The Hammerstein Ballroom
VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul
via VH1
Hammerstein Ballroom
Sunday, December 18
Better than: Whatever Ryan Seacrest is going to cook up for VH1 Soul.
Last night's VH1 Divas taping existed both as a performance and self-contained, 24-hours-out advertising opportunity for its broadcast. (Tonight at 9 ET!) TV tapings are always strange to experience first-hand, given the way they're designed for after-the-fact consumption; there are lots of long lulls in the action for the purposes of commercial breaking/set redesigning, and in "let's all get together and put on a show" scenarios like this one there are TelePrompTers with lyrics ready to assist the under-rehearsed. Despite the breaks and assists, though, this taping didn't have the hermetically sealed feeling of ones I attended during the pre-social-media erapeople were encouraged to tweet and Foursquare check-in and let their pals on social media know what they were experiencing via corporately provided hashtag. In the 21st century, after all, all publicity is.
The night's bent toward soul meant that most of the acts on the bill had pipes and credChaka Khan, Mavis Staples, Martha Reeves, and Wanda Jackson represented for the pre-music-video era, while the likes of Kelly Clarkson, Ledisi, Jill Scott, and Jennifer Hudson were among the new-schoolers. Jessie J's tireless, apparently unending promotional campaign also continued here; her new party trick involves her stuttering out words instead of singing them in toto, a tic that serves to both illuminate the bleatiness of her voice and make her seem even more malleable and annoying. She's the opposite of a diva, her jet-black-dyed artifice doing a miserable job of covering up the void within; I expect either a turn to Christian rock or the "mysterious" leak of a sex tape within the next 12 months.More »

Integrated Care: Improving the Quality of Care Your Child Receives
By Dana Markey, Program Manager, NAMI Child and Adolescent Action Center
Imagine walking into your child's primary care office for an annual checkup and in the waiting room you notice resources on the importance of mental health and the early warning signs of various mental health conditions. You scan the materials available and realize your child is exhibiting the early warning signs of depression—sleep problems, loss of interest in friends, sadness and fixations with death. The office's clear interest in mental health helps you feel confident and comfortable raising your concerns with your child's primary care provider
When you share your concerns with your child's primary care provider, she actively listens to you, empathizes with you and assures you she will work with you and your child to address your concerns. First, she does a thorough physical exam to rule out other physical conditions. She also decides to conduct a mental health screening, which reveals that your child is at risk for depression. She lets you know that her office includes a mental health provider on staff who is able to meet with you now so you do not need to come back for an additional appointment. She calls in the mental health provider who is able to evaluate your child further and answer questions you have. You all work as a team to develop future steps and to coordinate how your child's mental and physical health issues will be addressed together moving forward.
You leave the office feeling empowered, hopeful and confident that your child is receiving quality, comprehensive care from a health team that will work with you and your child to develop a treatment plan that takes into account your child's strengths, needs and treatment preferences. You also feel relieved knowing that identifying and addressing your child's mental health issues early has helped to prevent the consequences associated with untreated depression and the development of a more chronic, difficult-to-treat condition.
As many communities develop innovative integrated care approaches to improve the quality of care provided to youth and families, the scenario described above is becoming more of a reality for families across the country.
Integrated care refers to the practice of incorporating mental health care into primary care settings and primary care into mental health care settings for the purpose of improving the quality of care. There is no single, right way to integrate services and supports. There are a number of steps primary care offices can take in moving toward integrated care. These steps, some of which are described in the scenario above, include everything from distributing information to families about mental health care in primary care practices to co-locating mental health and primary care practices to fully integrated, collaborative care.
Communities that have begun to integrate care have seen firsthand the benefits of addressing mental and physical health conditions in a coordinated, collaborative manner. Families, primary care providers and mental health providers who have experience with integrated care have reported the following benefits for families:1
However, for families and youth to obtain the benefits of integrated care, they must be involved in the development of integrated care programs in their communities to ensure these efforts work for them.
NAMI recently released a family guide, Integrating Mental Health and Pediatric Primary Care [PDF], to provide families with a roadmap to help them navigate the integrated care landscape. The guide also provides practical information on how families and youth can become more involved in the integrated care movement to improve the quality of care they receive. Here is a brief summary of action steps:
Integrated care promises to improve the experience of families accessing health care for their child, whether it is accessing services for mental health or physical health concerns. However, in order for it to live up to its promise, families and youth must be involved in all aspects of integrated care. NAMI has compiled a broad range of resources to support families and youth with this charge.

This over photographed toddler is always dressed in black, no smile on her face,and never photographed playing with toys. Clearly her parents are always busy so who is the person taking care of 'the baby' as she is commonly referred to when Kim or Kris speak about her. I have yet to see the little North in frilly feminine little girl outfits. So so to see this little girl grow up in a very dysfunctional environment. Can't social services investigate this family before she chokes on pearls or what ever hazardous photo opportunities are lurking in North's life. Sad, sad, sad.

I totally agree with you're comment ucantfoolme. Baby Nori is the most adorable and precious baby. Just because some people don't like their parents, don't mean you have to drag the baby into the drama, she's innocent for god's sake. And the way the parents dress Nori is totally up to them. People don't talk about the Kardashians and Jenners because deep down you know you're just hating. And another thing, don't talk about them because they have their reasons. They're not just things that you can criticize all you want, they're people with actual feelings and morals, something I'm sure all haters don't get through those think skulls of there's. F**K ALL YOU HATERS!!!!!

No she doesn't having loving parents and that Kim used her child as an accessory and that Kim has made a sex tape and leak to media and that we never see North with her parents or even North wasn't even smiling when her grandmother Kris was holding her and the only who dragging this child in the media are her parents,grandmother,aunts.

"I am interested in long-term humane solutions to manage our horse populations. Our land is precious to the Navajo people as are all the horses on the Navajo Nation. Horses are sacred animals to us." – Ben Shelly, president of the Navajo Nation
Phenomenal news! Horse-welfare advocates just gained an important new ally in the fight to stop the brutal practice of horse slaughter. As reported earlier this week in The New York Times, Ben Shelly, president of the Navajo Nation, announced that the Nation opposes the practice of horse slaughter and has stopped all horse round-ups on the reservation.
This statement follows two important developments for horses on Navajo lands. In September, a coalition of Navajo elders and medicine people passed a resolution to oppose horse slaughter, and a Navajo Nation chapter opted to suspend round-ups in its territory for fear the horses would be sent to slaughter.
The ASPCA applauds President Shelly's announcement, which underscores the fact that the inherently cruel practice of horse slaughter is never an acceptable end for a horse.
This declaration comes at a critical time: Congress is considering budget bills that could prevent the opening of horse slaughter plants in the U.S., and a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which also seeks to hamper the opening of plants, is pending in federal court.
President Shelly's message on behalf of the Navajo Nation confirms the building momentum for the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act, which would forbid the slaughter of horses in the U.S. and end the current export of American horses for slaughter abroad.
Please be a voice for horses TODAY: Urge your members of Congress to cosponsor the SAFE Act to end this horrific threat to American horses.
Does everyone know that Obama signed into law the practice of horse slaughter could proceed.
I agree. When the ASPCA recently emailed regarding the cruelty towards chickens, I stopped eating chicken and any meats. I will not be a part of any cruelty towards a helpless living creature, they hurt and bleed just like humans. Thank God there are people such as yourself that still care and want to make a difference.
And then what will you eat besides salad and pasta? Its is cruel how the system slaughters animals and I agree it is inhumane. However, we are predators and have always had meat in our diets. You may not think so but it is our right for survival to eat meat and that will never stop. But the way it is preformed can be altered.
thank you Navajo Nation. You are a blessing
This is pleasing news and we who care for animals in the UK wish you well. Long may your horses be a part of you. At this time we are in protest against people culling badgers in England because of the mis-belief that they spread TB to our farm cattle. Earth belongs to animals, we are just 'passing through' .
Thank you so much President Shelly!! Your care and concern for horses brings joy to my heart. May our
Heavenly Father bless us all as we care for His innocent creatures! Thank you so much!
Thank you for saving those beautiful horses

Weighty Matters InfoWeighty Matters used to be just a chronicle of my weight loss efforts, which was extremely frustrating because I couldn't maintain it--both the blog and the weight loss thing. So instead, I have transformed my thinking (and this blog) so that it will not only deal with weight loss but also with all important health issues that we face. This is now my journal not just to lose weight but to keep it and to maintain good health. Hence, the name of this blog still applies. After all, all health issues are weighty matters.

What are the limitations of capsule endoscopy? What type of diseases can be diagnosed with capsule endoscopy? Find a local Gastroenterologist in your town Introduction Modern endoscopic techniques have revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, and duodenum) and the colon. The last remaining frontier has been the small intestine. The small intestine has been a difficult organ in which to make diagnoses and treat without performing surgery. Radiologicalprocedures, specifically the upper GI series with small bowel follow-through, which involves following swallowed barium as it passes through the intestine with x-ray films, have been available for diagnosis, but these radiological procedures are time-consuming and are not accurate in identifying small tumors and other subtle abnormalities of the small intestine. The demand for improved capabilities in the small intestine has been less because a minority of intestinal diseases involve the small intestine beyond the reach of the upper gastrointestinal endoscope and the colonoscope. Nevertheless, improved diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities in the small intestine would be very useful, particularly in uncovering the causes of abdominal pain, diarrhea, and anemia due to intestinal loss of blood and diagnosing diseases that may involve only the small intestine, for example, Crohn's disease. One of the newer technologies that expands the diagnostic capabilities in the small intestine is capsule endoscopy also known as wireless capsule endoscopy.

Women's Big Bertha Drivers
Product Overview
Callaway's all-titanium driver designed specifically for a woman's swing.
Callaway Golf engineers compiled detailed research, conducted extensive testing and received input from women golfers and instructors in developing our first driver designed specifically for a woman's game. Its 440cc titanium head, slightly longer shaft and strategically positioned center of gravity (CG) help you hit longer tee shots that find the fairway.
- 440cc All-Titanium Head - The smaller head size reduces the overall weight, allowing for increased swing speeds and greater distance potential for women with low to moderate swing speeds. The loft has also been optimized for a woman's swing.
- Draw-Biased Weighting - Strategically placed internal weighting is biased toward the heel, helping golfers close the face more easily at impact to promote a draw ball flight and reduce slices or fades.
- Longer shaft - Optimized to meet the modern woman's swing needs and height, it also helps increase clubhead speed for higher ball speeds.

Verbal sparring between a scientist employed by a mining company and a lawyer hired by area residents highlighted the second day of a public hearing Tuesday to determine whether a rock quarry should be built in Maple Hill.
Martin Marietta Materials is seeking a special-use permit from the Onslow County Board of Adjustment to construct a 1,800-acre mine off N.C. 50 near Haws Run Road.
Jacksonville lawyer Bob Detwiler, representing a group of residents who oppose the mine, and Richard Spruill, a professor of hydrology and consultant for Martin Marietta, participated in a lengthy, sometimes contentious back-and-forth series of questions and answers as part of the required public hearing.
Detwiler drilled Spruill as to whether mine operations would cause a drop in water within the Castle Hayne Aquifer, a large underground lake where many in the region get their tap water.
"We are talking about apples and oranges," Spruill said, to which Detwiler replied, "I thought we were talking about water."
The two men engaged in a semantic dispute over the difference between the word "impervious" and the term "low permeable" in relation to clay layers in water aquifers.
Detwiler asked Spruill about sinkholes.
Spruill said sinkholes could happen whether or not a mine is built.
"The bottom line is you can't tell members of this board where sinkholes will develop," Detwiler said.
Spruill said he couldn't, but it was rare in Eastern North Carolina that a sinkhole destroy a house.
"Sinkholes are not the end of the world," Spruill said.
Detwiler ask whether there was a correlation between removing groundwater and sinkhole formations.
Spruill said such a correlation existed, but added that mining companies are blamed for a lot of things that aren't their fault. He said pumping five to seven million gallons of water a day at the mine would not jeopardize the aquifer.
The board will hear more evidence and opinion Wednesday night beginning at 6 p.m. in the Onslow County Superior Courthouse. If more time is needed after Wednesday's meeting, the board will determine another time and place to continue the hearing, according to members of the county zoning office.
During the unfolding hearing, environmental experts, local and state officials and area residents will also be allowed to present information and offer opinions.
This is the second attempt by Martin Marietta to build a rock mine at the site.
In 2010, the Adjustment Board determined that Martin Marietta failed to prove the proposed mine would be in harmony with the surrounding area and wouldn't injure property values.
Martin Marietta spokesman Paxton Badham has previously said his company submitted 23 conditions they are willing to adhere in order to alleviate concerns.
If the company receives a special use permit from the county, it will seek a mining permit from the state. Company representatives said that permitting and regulatory process could take up to five years.

Keep your dog feeling REAL strong and healthy – with Only Natural Pet EasyRaw™ Dehydrated Dog Food.

Feeding Guide
Mix food with water, let soak at least 10 minutes. We suggest mixing up a batch in the evening and soaking overnight in the refrigerator for feeding the next day. You may mix up to four days of food at a time and store it in the refrigerator in a sealed container. Allowing the food to soak overnight will allow for optimal rehydration. It may still have a stew-like consistency with some broth present, but that is by design as it helps your dog stay properly hydrated (unlike dry kibble).
These daily amounts are guidelines, and your dog's requirements may vary depending on activity and overall health. Store in a cool, dry place and shake the bag occasionally to keep the ingredients mixed evenly. Amounts shown are total per day, and should be divided into at least two meals.
Please Note: Due to the nature of this product we suggest inverting or shaking the bag prior to mixing & serving.
It is important to introduce new food into your dog's diet gradually. We recommend starting with 10% of the new food to 90% of the old food on the first day, increasing the new and decreasing the old by 10% each day over the first 10 days.

Never would have bought. Now I will.
By Mrs.Mama.
from Cloverport, KY
I received a complimentary package of this product in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Our new puppy, a six week old GSD, loved this food. I sprinkled it on top of the kibble and added warm water. She had it devoured in minutes. The small bag lasted about 2 weeks using it as a mix in. I could imagine the amount I would need to by to feed her strictly this 2x a day. And the cost would be incredible. But it was wonderful the way we used it.
My dog adores this EasyRaw Dog Food!
By Woody's momma
from Vancouver, WA
My dog is a senior and has regained his appetite and health, which is encouraging, since he was starting to decline while being fed store-bought food. I hope to keep Woody around as long as I can, in the best health possible. This dog food seems to have been the key to giving him back his appetite, bounce in his step and he has a renewed interest and playfulness in his life. I got my dog back!
By Poco
from Oxnard, Ca
My dog didn't care for it
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Great product, but allergy returned
By Princess B's DoggyMom
from Austin, TX
My dog loves this product, but is allergic to animal protein. We tried it after a few years on vegetarian foods, hoping she could tolerate it. Sadly, her allergy returned full force. Excellent product, sad my dog can't have it cuz she really ate it up.
Wonderful food!
By forest gardener
from forest city twp, ME
This is a wonderful food for animals-natural, healthy, palatable. It solves dilemmas about doing the totally raw diet! Thank you for formulating and selling this!
Great Product
By Dorothy & Connie
from Henderson, NV
These are great products. We just started using them, but the dogs, all 3 of them, love the food and it certainly is easy to use. We will be traveling soon and look forward to the convenience of these products.
From Totally Raw To Dehydrated Raw
By JPM
from Oxnard, CA
When I adopted my girl she ate kibble. After much research I switched to a raw diet. After 2 years I wanted to go away for a few days. I realized it was more difficult to find someone to sit for my girl and feed her an all raw diet. So, I found All Natural Raw Dehydrated and switched her to this product. She is thriving and no one objects to hydrating the food and feeding her. A positive switch on multiple fronts.
not sure anymore
By LL
from Pleasanton, CA
My dogs liked this for a few bags, but lately both are being very finicky. I saw another reviewer said meat is not the first ingredient. I have not read the bag, just what it says online so now I had better check. I will transition to something else :(sad, it's a great concept

BELMONT – After playing so well for the past month, it's hard to be critical of your team when it exceeds 100 points for the fifth time of the season and fourth time in the past five games.
But, in Belmont Abbey College's case on Wednesday night at the Wheeler Center, rival Mount Olive rang up even more points in a 107-101 Conference Carolinas victory.
The defeat dropped the Abbey to 18-7 overall and 11-6 in the league while ending its six-game win streak as well as costing the Crusaders a chance at sole possession of second place in a tight league race. It also came later in a day in which Belmont Abbey drew a No. 7 ranking in the initial Southeast Regional poll of the season.
"It's a tough loss," Crusaders coach Stephen Miss said. "We've been playing well and just got our first regional ranking. We were in position to compete for a league title and we just didn't perform as well we can tonight."
Barton (13-4) remains atop the league race, with Limestone (12-5) in second, King (12-6) in third and the Abbey in fourth place. Mount Olive (13-10, 10-7), which handed the Abbey its last previous defeat on Jan. 24, is alone in fifth, with Erskine (10-8) in sixth and Coker and Queens tied for seventh at 9-8.
The Abbey started each half slowly and the Trojans were all too eager to make the early leads hold up.
Miss felt the team's high-scoring ways actually worked against the Crusaders on this night.
"I think we're a victim of our own success on offense," Miss said. "We think we can just outscore everybody and some nights we can."
Wednesday's contest was the Abbey's final home regular season game of the season. It means the Crusaders will need to win on the road – they close at Lees-McRae Saturday, at Barton next Wednesday and at Coker March 1 to end the regular season – if they hope to host an opening-round conference tournament game on March 4.
"You've got to handle your own business," Miss said of the tight league race with 1 1-2 weeks to play. "You can talk about all the scenarios you like, but we've got to play better defense and better on offense and take care of what we can take care of."
Mount Olive got double-figure scoring from eight of the nine players who played significant minutes – and eight from the other player. Darrell Patterson's 20 points led the way.
"Everyone on their team exploited our defense," Miss said.
For the Abbey, senior Tyshawn Good finished with 33 points to push his seasonal total to 684. It means he's 13 points shy of the Crusaders' single-season scoring total of 697 set by Jack Underwood in the school's first senior college season of 1953-54.
Also for the Abbey, former Gaston Day standout Terrone Sheffey had 17 points.
Mount Olive women 77, Belmont Abbey 64 – For a team that frequently uses its defense to supply its offense, the Lady Crusaders (11-12, 10-9) struggled mightily against the hot-shooting Lady Trojans (15-8, 11-8).
"For whatever reason, we just weren't in synch," Abbey coach Susan Yow said after her team's final scheduled home game of the season. "You can make all sorts of excuses, but when your defense allows 71 percent shooting like we did in the second half, you can't feel like you played vey well."
Mount Olive's hot-shooting actually started late in the first half when the Lady Trojans hit eight of their last 10 shots to take a 40-34 lead at the break.
That continued into the second half, as Mount Olive hit its first four shots to take a 49-36 lead. The Abbey, which led by six in the opening half, would not get any closer.
"We just didn't look like ourselves, especially defense, tonight," Yow said.
McKenzie Owen's 23 points and nine rebounds led the Lady Crusaders. Kelsey Long and Melisa Foures added 11 points each.
Tamara Nesmith's 21 points led Mount Olive. Also for the Lady Trojans, former Gazette player of the year Leah Graham, a 2011 Highland Tech graduate, was scoreless in three minutes of action.

Eric Milks walked on the mat, the biggest moment of his high school wrestling career, looked around and saw his New Bern teammates rooting him on.
Milks proceeded to do what he does best — win matches.
The Bears' senior won the 4-A state wrestling championship in the 145-pound weight class on Saturday at the Greensboro Coliseum.
Milks is New Bern's first state champion since former Bears' and University of Missouri wrestling star did it three straight years from 2002-04.
"It's a great feeling," said Milks. "The first day, I hurt my knee and didn't think I was going to do as well. The second day, I took it to them, then (Saturday) I kept it going."
Milks beat Parkland's Marcus Cross, 6-2, in the championship bout.
"There is always a big adrenaline rush before a match," Milks said. "I had a little anxiety, then I looked around and saw the guys rooting for me and I did what I've done every match and wrestled a perfect one."
On his way to the state title, Milks edged out Alex Central's Zane Knight in Thursday's first round. He continued to crush Glenn's Cary Shields (10-0) in the quarterfinals and East Gaston's Alex Ledford (10-0) in the semifinals.
Milks is a two-time state qualifier. He didn't place as a junior.
"He's worked harder than anybody I've ever coached just in the past year," said New Bern wrestling coach Bo Lansche. "He's done a great job this year. He deserves every bit of this."
Milks won 59 of his 61 matches this season. He is a conference champion, a regional champion and now a state champion.
"He took it one match at a time," Lansche said. "All year long, he's had the competition to help get him in. He just had to execute, be mentally ready and the last three rounds of this tournament, he looked perfect."
Of the six New Bern wrestlers that qualified for the state tournament, two competed in the championship finals.
Junior DeAndre Jones finished as a runner-up in the 182-pound weight class. He fell, 7-0, to Sun Valley's Michael Macchiavello in the championship bout.
On his way, Jones beat Reagan's Matt Waldrep, Hough's Charles Smith and Davie County's Alex Gobble.
"(DeAndre) wrestled the best tournament he could have wrestled," Lansche said. "He was excellent on his feet, moved well and took opportunities when he had them.
"He was very aggressive. He looked great."
Senior, and two-year wrestler, Pa Sanneh won his first match Thursday at 138 pounds, but was forced to forfeit his next two bouts because he missed his require weight by .1 pound.
Senior Jon Sherman (132 pounds) won one match by forfeit, then lost two; senior Max Stout (152 pounds) and junior Nick Wheeler (106 pounds) lost both their matches.
Rams' Davis is runner-up at 3-A wrestling tourney
Havelock junior Ryan Davis showed that his freshman year was no fluke.
He placed sixth at the 2011 state wrestling tournament, and then failed to qualify the following year.
Davis rebounded with a second-place result in the 132-pound weight class at the 3-A state championships.
"He's had a great year," said Havelock wrestling coach Pat Whitford. "After his freshman year, people started taking a little bit of notice, then after last, somebody said maybe that freshman year was a fluke.
"People definitely know who he is now."
Davis went 55-5 on the season, won his weight class at conference and regionals, then took runner-up at Saturday's state tournament in Greensboro.
"I can't help but be disappointed for not winning but I can see a bright side out of it — I've been working hard," Davis said. "I feel like I deserve it, but I got second.
"I'm going to hit the gym hard like I always do and try to get it next year."
Davis lost to West Iredell's Payton Shuford, 6-4, in the finals. Before that, he beat East Henderson's Aaron Ownesby (8-1), Northeast Guilford's Patrick Brown (3-2) and Fred T. Foard's Ben Pitts (7-4).
"I guess there were a lot of jitters," Davis said. "It was my first time in the finals, so I was slow into the match. Once I got into it, I was doing really well, but I just came up short."
Junior John Ellis, at 152 pounds, won one match of three, while freshman Tanner Stamper-Smith lost both of his matches.
"Tanner, just making it states as a freshman, is quite an accomplishment," Whitford said. "This is a kid that wasn't even in our starting lineup a couple months ago.
"To work his way in says a lot. If he can make the same strides, and we get him in our offseason program, he could be back."
West Craven's lone representative Robert Baker, a 138-pound junior, dropped back-to-back matches.
Pamlico's Hoff takes second at state
Pamlico wrestling coach Kevin Knox doesn't have any complaints about senior Chad Hoff's work ethic.
Hoff came in as a freshman without any experience. The past three years, he's placed at the state tournament.
Hoff was runner-up in the 145-pound bracket on Saturday at the 1-A state wrestling tournament. He placed fourth as a sophomore and third as a junior.
"I've had him since his freshman year, and he came in not wrestling at all," Knox said. "He didn't really know anything as a freshman, but he is probably the hardest worker I've ever coached.
"He's progressively improved all year and he did a great job."
Hoff lost to two-time state champion Jorge Lima from West Wilkes 7-3 in the finals. He defeated Southwest Onslow's Jacob Farmer in the semifinals.
"My mentality was to treat them like anyone else," Hoff said. "I gave it my all.
"I wasn't as nervous. I was used to it because it was so big. I was ready, I was focus and I was more prepared."
Hoff finishes his year with a 33-6 record, a conference title, a regional title and is a state runner-up.
"It was an incredible journey," Hoff said. "It was a great year with some great guys. I had some good times and some bad times, but I am pretty happy with my season."
Two-time state qualifier Connor Hough, a sophomore, won his first match at 160 pounds, then lost his next two.
Senior Humberto Mendoza lost his first match, won his second and lost his third.
