Eating healthy is expensive. I've heard it. You've heard it — maybe you even agree.
Junk food is cheap. How can you argue against the dollar menu?
I would suggest, however, that the discussion needs to be about more than cost. It must also take into account health and wellness. My position on this is supported by a recent study in the journal "Intelligence."
This particular study looked at the type of meals young children received (slow food versus fast food) and whether there was an association with cognitive ability and cognitive growth. Overall, slow food was associated with better cognitive ability and cognitive growth in childhood.
These findings build on previous research showing that diets rich in antioxidant (lots of fruits and vegetables) are good food for the brain.
Of course, many other factors play into a child's cognitive abilities, including socioeconomic status. Providing proper nutrition is not without challenges, as we know. Food security, lack of neighborhood markets and an over-abundance of junk food in poorer neighborhoods are all very real problems.
Of course, the appeal of fast food isn't just that it's cheap. It's a mainstay for many people because it's easy and, yes, fast.
I can't change the world or the fact that people's lives are so busy that they need meals that require no preparation. But even if you need food that's quick, you can make healthier choices without breaking the bank. Consider these ideas:
The government estimates that getting the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables can cost as little as $2 a day. That seems like a pretty good investment to me.

Eating healthy food is expensive.
Junk food is cheap. :)
Live a cheaper life today for a much much more expensive life tomorrow (as a patient) :)
Eating healthy is not that expensive if you stick to meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, occasionally some fruit and nuts. It's all the packaged junk like cereal, bread, pasta, cookies, chips that's costly and completely lacking in nutritional value. Stick to whole food and the bill might actually go down. Wellness will definitely go up.
I think if we would really love to have a good health, then never mind the cost of those healthy foods. Anyways we can have some alternative ways if we don't want to buy those expensive healthy foods, why not plant your own veggies at home? You can have a garden of your own,you can eat healthy and fresh veggies anytime,cool right? Eating healthy foods can really save us from any serious health problems,not only that it can also save our medical bills and yes the prescriptions. Remember we are what we eat!

In Colorado in season a pound of apple (organic) is $3.99/lb. We mostly try to eat organic. Non-organic is $1.49 or $1.99 minimum. Not all fruit created equal. But it is a lot more than $2.00/day per person.(x3 for daily servings)
I would tend to agree that getting proper fruit and veggies in your diet costs more than $2 per day. However, that is just the food cost.
If you eat a healthy diet consistently compared to someone who eats a poor diet consistently, what is your savings in medical bills and perscriptions? The odds are that in the long run you will actually save money. This does not include the fact that you will feel and be able to perform much better which is priceless.
Just like when purchasing a car, you need to look at the vehicle cost, the MPG the vehicle gets and the insurance costs to really assest a "true cost of ownership".
Yes, it is very expensive to eat healthy. I just bought brown rice and beans and salmon in a can. Quite ridiculous the price of food these days !! Then going into the produce aisle is no difference there. I guess we eat or don't pay one of our other bills is what it is coming to.
it costs more than 2 dollars a day to get a sufficient
amount of fruits and veggies.

It is a new year, it is time for a new muffin recipe. You all know that I am obsessed with muffins, so this should come as no surprise. And because we are nearing the second weekend of the new year, I am going to keep your resolutions going. I made a healthy muffin with oatmeal, no butter or oil, flax meal, and even whole wheat flour. I added some chocolate, because life is just better with chocolate.

She looks absolutely beautiful and incredibly regal - the monochrome is elegant and does not overpower while the gold accessories are added creating a splendid affect (and Audrey Hepburn!) I think the dress is so light and sophisticated... and the shoes! Stunning! It is also a look that, at the same time as being interesting, seems as though it also manages to be practical and comfortable.
I have (only very recently, unfortunately) become a sudden and huge fan of this blog. The concept is brilliant and I have found no finer proof on the entire internet that one can age without being afraid of losing style, originality or looking dowdy. I agree with Winter's comment, 'I only hope to carry myself with as much grace and beautiful abandon when I am in the silver stages of my life.'
I take my gold rimmed tricorn off to you. :)

Honeycrisp Apple
The Honeycrisp apple was produced from a 1960 cross of Macoun and Honeygold apples as part of the University of Minnesota's breeding program. The goal in creating this apple was to develop a variety that could withstand difficult winters without losing fruit quality. The original seedling was planted in 1962 at the Minnesota Horticultural Research Center.
Appearance & Taste
Skin is mostly red with a yellow background, while the surface has shallow dimples and dots; flavor ranges from mild to strongly aromatic, depending on degree of maturity; flesh is cream-colored and coarse.
Best used for eating and baking. Recipe for Apple Praline Cake.

An internationally-renowned artist and pedagogue, Victor Danchenko graduated from the Moscow Conservatory where he studied with David Oistrakh. His numerous awards include the gold medal in the Soviet National Competition and the Ysaye Gold Medal. Also to his credit are recordings under the Melodiya label, as well as live radio and television broadcasts. Prior to his emigration to the West, he enjoyed a distinguished solo career appearing with orchestras and in recitals throughout the U.S.S.R. and abroad. Since then, he has performed as a soloist in the United States, Canada, Europe, and South America to high critical acclaim while developing an immensely successful teaching career. His students have won major awards and competitions and appeared with concerts and recitals on all continents. Among his many successful students there are concert masters of various orchestras, first violinists of major string quartets, members of major orchestras, and various conservatories. Recognized as one of the leading teachers of today, he is currently on the faculty at the Curtis Institute of Music and the Peabody Conservatory of Music. In addition to these duties, he participates as a jury member of major international competitions. Mr. Danchenko also continues to conduct masterclasses in the USA, Canada, Japan, South America, Israel, and Europe, where he remains in great demand.
Soovin Kim, violin
At age 20, Soovin Kim won first prize in the Paganini International Competition. Subsequent awards included the Henryk Szeryng Career Award, an Avery Fisher Career Grant, and a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award. Equally gifted in concerto, recital, and chamber music repertoire, Kim has performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony, Baltimore Symphony, Orchestra of St. Luke's, Stuttgart Radio Symphony, Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra, Accademia di Santa Cecilia Orchestra, Moscow Symphony Orchestra, and Seoul Philharmonic. He has given solo recitals at New York's Weill Hall, the Kennedy Center Terrace Theater, Ravinia, Tokyo's Casals Hall, and the Seoul Arts Center. He is an active participant in the Marlboro Festival.
Particularly known for his breadth of repertoire, Soovin Kim typically takes on everything from Bach to Paganini to the big romantic concertos to new commissions. His recording of Paganini's 24 Caprices for solo violin was released in February 2006 and was named Classic FM Magazine's Instrumental Disc of the Month. He released a CD with Stomp/EMI of four commissioned works by Korean composers written for and performed by his ground-breaking piano quartet MIK (Made in Korea). He recorded string quintets of Boccherini and Schubert with cellist Janos Starker and the Arensky cello quartet with Lynn Harrell, both released by Delos, and duo works by Schubert, Bartók, and Strauss with Jeremy Denk for Koch/Discover. Kim and Denk performed the Brahms sonatas in Seoul and Rome and the Charles Ives sonatas in Philadelphia and at Bard College.
Soovin Kim is the first violinist of the Johannes Quartet, an ensemble that has performed newly commissioned works by Esa-Pekka Salonen, Derek Bermel, and William Bolcom. He also arranged for and performed the premiere of Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer's string trio in 2007.
Soovin Kim began studies at the Cleveland Institute of Music with David Cerone and Donald Weilerstein at age 15. He is a graduate of the Curtis Institute, where he studied with Victor Danchenko and Jaime Laredo.
Besides teaching at the Peabody Conservatory, Kim's faculty appointments also include SUNY-Stonybrook and Bard College in New York.
Vera Danchenko-Stern
Singing in Russian
Vera Danchenko-Stern was born in Moscow into a family of professional musicians. She graduated from the Gnessin Institute of Music in Moscow with honors in piano, solo performance, chamber music, vocal and instrumental accompaniment.
Ms. Danchenko-Stern taught at the Gnessin Institute and toured as an accompanist throughout Russia and Europe before emigrating to Canada in 1979, where she joined the faculty of the Royal Conservatory of music in Toronto. She has performed highly acclaimed concerts with her brother, violinist Victor Danchenko, in major cities for sold-out houses throughout the world.
Since moving to Washington, D.C. in 1990, Ms. Danchenko-Stern has been heard often here and in Baltimore. Concert appearances include accompanying Pavel Pekarsky's Kennedy Center debut, the Washington debut of Ilya Kaler (triple prize gold medal winner of the Tchaikovsky, Paganini, and Sibelius competitions), and voice recitals with Medea Namoradze, Mikhail Manevitch, Sergei Leiferkus, Jerome Barry and Nikita Storojev, to name a few. Other artists such as violist Rivka Golani and violinist Martin Beaver engaged her as an accompanist. In 1997, she accompanied soprano Carmen Balthrop singing Rachmaninoff's romances at the Carnegie Hall gala in honor of the 850th anniversary of the founding of Moscow. After Ms. Danchenko-Stern started teaching the course 'Singing in Russian' at the Peabody Conservatory, she induced the entire voice faculty into participation in the "Evening of Slavic Songs" sung in five different Slavic languages.
Ms. Danchenko-Stern has completed several tours in Russia. In 2001, she brought her singer-students of the Peabody Conservatory (soprano Pamela Hay - student of Phyllis Bryn-Julson, and baritone Timothy Mix - student of John Shirley-Quirk) for the Golden Ring Russian tour with performances in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Yaroslavl. For the first time American vocal students demonstrated their art in front of the native audiences singing Russian repertoire in Russian. Their recital in St. Petersburg during this tour took place at the residence of the Consul General of the United States and was a great success. "Closing my eyes I would have imagined that the singers were native Russians," commented the eminent Russian composer Sergey Slonimsky after the concert. This performance led to the invitation to participate in the International week of the Conservatories in 2002, dedicated to the 140th anniversary of the founding of the St. Petersburg Conservatory. This International Festival was staged during the first week of October, 2001. Three Peabody students (soprano Christine Kavanagh - student of Phyllis Bryn-Julson, mezzo-soprano Catrin Rowenna Davies - student of Marianna Busching, baritone Timothy Mix - student of John Shirley-Quirk, and tenor Pablo Henrich from Catholic University) gave a full-sized stunning performance at the Glazunov Hall of the St. Petersburg Conservatory and received standing ovations from the enthusiastic audience which they entertained with a selection of classical Russian repertoire sung in Russian and music of Broadway. All was accompanied by Ms. Danchenko-Stern.
Ms. Danchenko-Stern serves as a Russian diction coach for the Washington National Opera. Her repertoire includes participation in the production of Tsar's Bride by Rimsky-Korsakov (1994), Boris Godunov by Mussorgsky (1997), Queen of Spades (2001), and The Maiden of Orleans (2005) both by Tchaikovsky. In 2003, Ms. Danchenko-Stern was invited by the Honolulu Opera Theater to coach the soloists and chorus for the first Russian opera in the company's repertoire for Evgeniu Onegin by Tchaikovsky. She was also engaged in this capacity to work with the Baltimore Symphony chorus for the production of Prokofiev's Ivan the Terrible under the baton of Maestro Yuri Temirkanov. Deeply committed to the development of young artists, Ms. Danchenko-Stern continues to serve on the faculty of the Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University and the Catholic University of America. She is sought after as a judge, master teacher, and chamber pianist and teaches piano at her private studio in Alexandria, Va. Her recent master classes were presented at Princeton University and at Michigan State Universities. With two alumnae of the Peabody Conservatory, soprano Susan Harwood and mezzo-soprano Patricia Green, Ms. Danchenko-Stern has founded a group called Trio Lyrica.
She has been included into the centennial edition of Who's Who in American Women and is a "National Associate Artist of SAI."

"I am the maker, the lover, and the keeper. . . ."
The quotation above is a line (or verse) from a poem by Jane Kenyon called "Briefly It Enters, and Briefly Speaks" (Source: Poets.org). I thought it summed up the qualities of a poet as someone who creates, loves, and preserves the art of poetry and writing. And speaking of poetry…

Hi there Dlaporte, I'm a GIMP man myself (though I also use Inkscape and Wilbur as well). I think overall it will allow you much more versatility than CC3 or Hexographer. With GIMP you can create a variety of different styles of maps, whereas with the other programs you are limited to the symbols/icons installed in the program. Now, in the plus category for CC3 and Hexographer, once you get past the initial learning curve of the former, I'm told they are very easy to work with and map creation is fairly quick and easy (though I can't comment on the veracity of this report). With GIMP there will also be a learning curve, and many maps styles (though not all) will remain somewhat time-consuming even after one is familiar with the software. However, you have allot more artistic freedom and power with this software, and that is ultimately why I went with it. Inkscape is another good free program to have around as you can use it to do line work and text placement much easier than in GIMP.
Now, if you want to make a long term investment, Photoshop would probably be the way to go. However, I'd mess around with GIMP first to see what you think of this kind of raster program before making any such investment. My 2c.

Character Trait Analysis
The Boy Who Couldn't Die by William Sleator
Character: Ken
Justin Messmer Green
The Main Character in The Boy Who Couldn't Die, Ken, is a very foolish person. His first foolish decision: having his soul removed from his body, so he can become immortal. He found an ad for a psychic who claimed to have special powers, and he made an appointment with her. When he was at the psychic's apartment, he should have easily realized that she was asking for too little money for her services, and that her process of removing his soul was not exactly safe. In order to have his soul removed, he had to experience death. After Ken foolishly went through with the ritual, he went home. After finding that the removing had worked (he touched a hot pan and wasn't burned), he should have realized that he felt different than before. Ken felt empty, no longer enjoyed things, and most of all, he was having dreams of stabbing strangers. After any of these things Ken should have seen something was wrong, but someone had to tell him before he woke up and saw the facts. Although Ken's stupidity is immense, I suppose there wouldn't have been a story if he had just walked out of the psychic's apartment as soon as he heard he had to die; he would have never become a zombie, meet his future girlfriend, and there would be absolutely no problem for him to solve.
It sounds like you...

News from the world of Maths
February 8, 2012
Yesterday's refusal by the UK government to posthumously pardon Alan Turing makes sad news for maths, computer science and the fight against discrimination. But even if symbolic gestures are, symbolically, being rebuffed, at least Turing's most important legacy — the scientific one — is going stronger than ever. An example is this week's announcement that scientists have devised a biological computer, based on an idea first described by Turing in the 1930s.

How does Olympic success correlate with a nation's GNP? How does the location of the Olympics affect the chance of record breaking? How can simple statistics help us understand the likelihood of winning streaks and the chance that an innocent athlete will fail a drugs test? What events should an ambitious nation target as the "easiest" in which to win Olympic medals. John D. Barrow will explore these question and more in a free public lecture at Gresham College in London tomorrow, 17th January 2012.

In the corner of the garden between the Centre of Mathematical Sciences and the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge, sits a reminder of our ongoing quest to understand gravity: an apple tree that was taken as a cutting from the tree at Newton's birthplace, the tree that is said to have inspired his theory of gravity. Newton's theory was extended to the cosmological scales by Einstein's theory of general relativity – but can supergravity explain how gravity works in the quantum world?

Simplified list of episodes
"Your Shoe's Untied" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season two. In this episode, SpongeBob forgets how to tie his shoes.
- SpongeBob SquarePants
- Patrick Star
- Eugene H. Krabs
- Squidward Tentacles
- Gary the Snail
- Flying Dutchman
- Painty the Pirate
- Old Man Jenkins
- Vera
- Cave Monster (cameo)
- Tom

The episode starts out with SpongeBob watching TV "looking for the sports channel". Then, Patrick comes bursting through the door with a pair of shoes on his hands. SpongeBob asks to see them on his feet and Patrick says that he does not know how to tie his shoes. SpongeBob says that he will teach Patrick, and unties his shoes. However, when he tried to tie them again in order to show Patrick, he realizes that he has not tied his shoes for so long that he has forgotten how to tie them. After Patrick leaves, SpongeBob goes to bed but when he wakes up he still does not remember. He still has to go to work though.
It takes a while for SpongeBob to get to work because he keeps tripping over his shoelaces. When he finally gets there, Patrick's there, eating a burger.He does not want to look bad in front of Patrick so he pounds his feet into the floor boards so that Patrick can't see them. Patrick asks if SpongeBob has gotten shorter and SpongeBob says yes. He makes two big cracks across the floor as he slides his feet in the floor. When he gets inside the kitchen he crawls while lying down to the grill. He makes a Krabby Patty, and then tries to give it to Squidward but can't make it without tripping. He tries shuffling over, millimeters at a time, but gets practically nowhere. So he trips and throws the Krabby Patty into Squidward's mouth. After doing this several times, Squidward is seen from behind and he's huge because of eating all those Krabby Patties.
Mr. Krabs then comes out of the bathroom in his underwear as he heard people leaving and all the customers leave to eat at the Chum Bucket, and he asks Squidward what's wrong. Squidward replies that SpongeBob is to blame and Mr. Krabs calls SpongeBob out. SpongeBob tells Mr. Krabs that he can't remember how to tie his shoes so he asks him for help. Mr. Krabs does not wear shoes, so SpongeBob finally cracks and starts asking everyone if they know how to tie laces. Everyone says no, but then SpongeBob encounters The Flying Dutchman, who teaches SpongeBob various knots except the one SpongeBob needs to tie his shoes.
SpongeBob goes home thinking that he'll never tie his shoes again, but Gary, surprisingly, ties his shoes for him. SpongeBob, amazed, asks Gary where he learned to tie shoes and Gary puts on a record. The episode ends with the song Loop De Loop.

• Loop de Loop - Ween
- "Your Shoe's Untied" was ranked #25 during the Best Day Ever event on November 9–10, 2006.
- This is the first episode to use digital ink and paint.
- In this episode, SpongeBob is watching an anemone dancing on TV. He gets scared as soon as Gary comes in and changes it to the Sports Channel. This scene is cut in some countries because viewers might think SpongeBob is watching something embarrassing.
- This is the first episode Painty the Pirate appears outside the opening song. His picture will be seen again in the episode Wet Painters.
- In all other episodes that involve the Krusty Krab, The grill that SpongeBob cooks on is right by the order window.
- This is the first episode to have a TV-Y7 rating.
- Patrick's shoes appear to be navy blue hi-top Converse All-Stars.
- The stock footage of a sea anemone will also be seen in "The Sponge Who Could Fly" and "Rise and Shine".
- Both the sea anemone and the sports channel that is seen on SpongeBob's TV are also on Patchy the pirate's TV when Patchy is trying to find the rewind button in The Sponge Who Could Fly.
- This was the first episode to use the new, smaller captions, which would be used until "The Thing".
- This episode was released on June 30, 2000, in "The American Cartoons," but it was not with the sister episode, Squid's Day Off.
- It is revealed that Gary can roar like a lion. He later does this again in Frozen Face Off to frighten off vicious worms.
- It is also revealed that Gary wears shoes.
- This is the first time Gary has been shown as a record player. The second was in Earworm.
- This is the first episode of Season 2.
- In the first half of the episode Patrick had 3's for eyebrows on the second half they were z's this may be because due to unsteady animation in the first season they had to have them be 3's and this is the first episode of season 2.
- SpongeBob is able to tie his shoes in Rock Bottom, but he can't in this episode. This may because this took place before that episode or he simply forgot.
- When Mr. Krabs says "Haha, that's all?" after SpongeBob tells him he forgot to tie his shoes, his mouth doesn't sync with the words completely.
- When Tom says, "Uh, fins" after SpongeBob asks him if he can show him how to tie his shoes, his mouth doesn't move.
- When Spongebob says "poop," his voice is notably higher.
- During the part when Squidward says "It's SpongeBob's fault", the menu is missing.
- When the customers are starting to leave The Krusty Krab, the blue fish next to Old Man Jenkins wears a pair of pants that is similar to SpongeBob's, but when the customers are leaving, the fish's pants disappear.
- When the customers leave after they see Mr. Krabs with no pants on, the fish that says "Oh yeah, we are definitely out of here!" wasn't wearing any pants himself. When Mr. Krabs says "What's the meaning of this?" his pants are seen back on, even though he might've put his pants back on right before he said it.
- Right when SpongeBob enters the Krusty Krab kitchen, his skin turns a darker yellow for the rest of the episode.
- When SpongeBob arrives at his home near the end of the episode, the lights are off. However, after Gary ties his shoes, they are on.
- When Old Man Jenkins says "What's the hold up?" to Squidward, he talks in his young man's voice instead of his old man's voice.
- When the customers are leaving The Krusty Krab, one of them says "We're going to the Chum Bucket!" but none of the customers are seen going to the Chum Bucket.
- SpongeBob could've asked Sandy, Pearl, or Mrs. Puff to remind him how to tie his shoes, although they are never shown with laces, but they might've know from always wearing shoes.
- Patrick never closed the door at SpongeBob's house, so he would have just ran out the doorway not through the door.
- When the crossword puzzle is shown the most of the word money is shown as "Mone", but all of the letters of the word would have been in the boxes.
- When SpongeBob is talking to the other costumers and when he runs out of the Krusty Krab, they shouldn't be there since all of the costumers left.
- When he talks to the Sea Urchins, there are six, but he only says "you" five times.
- After SpongeBob flipped to the sports channel, the wide shot is shown again and the TV has no plug-in cord.

The most recent short interest data has been released by the NASDAQ for the 04/15/2014 settlement date, and we here at Dividend Channel like to sift through this fresh data and order the underlying components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average by "days to cover." There are a number of ways to look at short data, for example the total number of shares short; but one metric that we find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares typically traded.

The Power of Independent Thinking
Secrecy, Freedom and Empire: Lessons for Today from Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers
Recorded: Wednesday, October 23, 2002
Daniel Ellsberg began his Vietnam-era career as a U.S. Marine company commander, a Pentagon official, and a staunch supporter of U.S. global interventionism. But, in October 1969, Ellsbergfully expecting to spend the rest of his life in prisonsmuggled out of his office and made public a seven-thousand-page top secret study of decision making in Vietnam, the Pentagon Papers. At this upcoming Independent Policy Forum, Ellsberg will tell the story of his becoming the most important whistle-blower of the last fifty years, risking his career and his freedom to expose the deceptions and delusions of U.S. leaders from Truman onward.
Based on his new book, Secrets, Ellsberg provided an insiders view of the secrets and lies that have shaped decades of U.S. foreign policy to the present. His exposure began on his first day at the Pentagon, August 4, 1964, which was also the day of the infamous Gulf of Tonkin incident. In time, the more he learned from top decision-makers, confidential documents, and reports of secret maneuvers, the more skeptical he became about the conduct and impact of U.S. foreign policies.
The release of the Pentagon Papers set in motion a chain of events that included a landmark Supreme Court decision, the arrest and trial of Ellsberg, the crimes of Watergate, and the end of the Nixon presidency and the Vietnam War.
As the U.S. pursues the current War on Terrorism, Ellsbergs insights into governmental intoxication with power could not be more timely or important.
This special evening with Daniel Ellsberg and a distinguished panel of scholars, Barton J. Bernstein, Edwin B. Firmage, David R. Henderson, and Jonathan Marshall discussed Secrecy, Freedom and Empire: Lessons for Today from Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers.

Big Brother is Watching
Recorded: Thursday, June 6, 2002
To outsiders, its initials once stood for No Such Agency. To its employees, they stood for Never Say Anything. Today the public knows that the ultra-secret National Security Agency manages the nations spy satellites, but few know exactly why the NSA is the most powerful U.S. intelligence agencyor its roles in the Cold War, the hunt for Osama bin Laden, and Echelon, the worldwide NSA spying operation that, many charge, is illegally monitoring innocent citizens. No outsider knows more about the NSA than investigative journalist James Bamford, who began to research it before most members of Congress had even heard of it. In this talk, Mr. Bamford explained why he believes the NSA is a dangerous, two-edged sword.

Gore Vidal on Understanding Americas Terrorist Crisis
Recorded: Thursday, April 18, 2002
Filmed before a live audience on April 18, 2002, renowned author Gore Vidal rejects the blind patriotism expected by government officials and the mainstream media, and investigates U.S. foreign policy throughout recent history, showing how it has contributed to the terrorist crisis. With his famous wit and insight, Vidal also demonstrates the ways in which the War on Terrorism is being used to curtail civil liberties and shred the Bill of Rights.

Razberi Technologies, which was reinvented three years ago by Tom Galvin, today announced that it received a $3m investment from a new investor, LiveOak Venture Partners of Austin, Texas.
I had a chance to speak to Galvin about the deal. "We launched the company exactly three years ago, in November 2011. We've been growing nicely through word of mouth but we got to the point where, to sustain growth, we needed outside capital," he said.
The funds will be used "to invest in sales, marketing and branding awareness to fully leverage what we've built here in our product line and to invest in R&D. We want to continue to evolve and to develop the product line," Galvin said.
Razberi's flagship product is its ServerSwitch, which combines "the functions of a network video recorder and ethernet smark switch into a single compact appliance." These appliances, "go where IT doesn't go because of cost or form factor," Galvin said. Currently in development are a "ruggedized line for outdoor applications. There's a growing energy business in the U.S., with oil and natural gas and windmills and they all need video surveillance," he said.
Galvin also announced that Ken Boyda has joined Razberi as non-executive chairman of its board of directors.
Boyda built Interlogi company, which he sold to GE Security and was subsequently sold to UTC. Galvin and Boyda worked together at GE before Boyda retired. Boyda has stayed active in the industry, Galvin said, serving on the board of VideoIQ before its acquisition by Avigilon. He also currently serves on the board of PSIM provider VidSys.
Boyda introduced Galvin to LiveOak Ventures.
"Razberi [which is based in Carrollton, Texas] is LiveOak's first investment in North Texas. There's a start-up market here that's underserved by financial [backers], and LiveOak saw us a real opportunity," Galvin said.
Jiri Modry, whom Galvin called "one of the pioneers," has also joined Razberi's board. "He developed the first DVR for security and sold it to Interlogix [which was sold to GE.] … The GE DVR line at the time was based on Yiri's technology. It's great to have his expertise on the board as well," Galvin said.
Ben Scott and Krishna Srivivasan, both of LiveOak Venture Partners, also joined the board.
Razberi also hired Rich Anderson as its CTO. "He's a key hire for us. He served in different executive capacities at GE and Casi Rusco back in the day," Galvin said.
Tri-Ed will continue to be the brand name for the security division of Anixter following the recently completed acquisition of Tri-Ed by Anixter.
That seems like a smart move, and also probably not a huge surprise to those who have followed this deal.
The company also announced that Pat Comunale will serve as president of global security solutions for Tri-Ed. James Rothstein will serve as SVP of global marketing and Dirk Foreman, who headed up sales to high-end integrators for Anixter previously, will continue in basically the same role for Tri-Ed. His new title is Global/National Integrator Sales. Rothstein and Foreman will report to Comunale.
I caught up with Pat Comunale yesterday, who said he's more invigorated today about the possibilities for Tri-Ed than he was 10 years ago when the distribution company was launched.
"The opportunity is much larger than building a brick-and-mortar business," he said. The new Tri-Ed is a "real value-added distribution platform. The services we can provide using the Anixter lab, the capabilities, infrastructure and support we can offer for large customers inside and outside of security … it's a very powerful solution."
Anixter now has more products to offer its customers and Tri-Ed can now get into the higher-end IP-products [and projects]. "We're approximately a $2 billion security business globally, which is unparalleled in our industry," Comunale said.
Tri-Ed has 65 locations and it is opening up four offices within the month in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; Baltimore; St. Louis and in northern New Jersey, Comunale said.
Previously, Anixter only had physical sales offices for its security operation. It did not have not have branch distribution offices. "Now their customers can come to any Tri-Ed office for pick up," Comunale said.
The security division headquarters, previously located in Glenview, Illl., will be based here. Comunale said all of the back office functions of Tri-Ed and Anixter have been integrated. The last piece is getting both sales teams on one platform, Comunale said, which he expects will be accomplished in 9 months.
Comunale said his largest challenge is communication "keeping everyone informed of what's happening. "We have a standard biweekly phone call [which everyone is invited to join] where we give a status update within the business." In the future, Comunale plans to include some vendors and customers in those calls.
Protection 1, responding to consumer demand to combine home security, home automation and energy efficiency, has added central alarm operator video alarm verification and other features to its HALO home automation platform.
Using a mobile app, residential users can control and manage interactive security, video monitoring and energy management solutions along with other connected devices. It's powered by Alarm.com's cloud-based software platform.
To reduce energy costs, sensor information learns a home's activity patterns and creates "Smart Schedules" for efficient energy management, Protection 1 said in a prepared statement. That includes adjusting the thermostat to save energy when the customer is not at home and turns the heat back up when the customer is on the way home.
Customers also have the option of integrating solar energy into the system.
To formally introduce myself, my name is Spencer Ives and I'm the new associate editor here at SSN. I'll primarily be covering the central station monitoring beat. I'm brand new to the security industry and am looking forward to getting to know you. I'm excited about writing about new developments in your businesses, the evolution of monitoring technology and general trends in the monitoring world.
The first notable item that has cropped up under my watch has been the 2014 CSAA Annual Meeting being cancelled due to a hurricane in Bermuda. However, bouncing back, the CSAA has found a new time and place for the event: It will now be held on Wednesday, Dec. 3, at The Crystal City Marriott, 1999 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, Va.
Elizabeth Lasko, VP of marketing and communications for CSAA International told me, "The difficulty was that we had two-and-a-half days of solid information sessions. Those can't be rescheduled. ...We can't get all 25 to commit to a second two-and-half day segment of time." While, it may be scaled down, the meeting will go on. The CSAA Board of Directors Meeting will take place from 12:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., and the General Membership Meeting from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The "Monitoring Matters" blog is meant to be a forum for discussion. Please feel free to comment, and if you have news tips, suggestions for stories or if you simply want to introduce yourself, feel free to call me at 207-846-0600, ext. 254, or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Our collective alarm clock this morning felt like a sonic boom. It was just thunder, but it had to be directly overhead because it shook all of the challengers awake at about 5:45 a.m. Next came the downpour. As we all scrambled to pack our bags and take down our tents, a silly 80s song is running through my mind.
Then I realized I was actually hearing "Africa." Seems Joseph had hooked up a makeshift sound system in his Rav4.
The only challenger who missed part of "the rains of Africa" that morning was Paul, whom Kirsten found sleeping in their car. Paul claims that it was not fear of the hippos nor rain that drove him out of his tent and into the car. No way. He was afraid of the snoring that was coming from nearby tents, he said.
Caffeine deprived and coated in dirt, I'm ready for day four. Guy and I leave with a convoy that included Pierre, Sebastian, Hartmut, Edward, Jim, Shad and Terry.
Our destination today: Ruhengheri, Rwanda.
Driving the back roads of Uganda, you get a close-up view of how Ugandans spend their days.
Jim said he was struck by "the incredibly hard work that goes on as people try to lead their lives here. …They're pushing bicycles with huge bunches of bananas [or other goods] up hills," he said.Jim said he was not expecting to see all of the small tea farms on the hillsides. "I don't know how they walk on those hills, never mind work on them," he said.
Indeed, we saw men, women and children toting all manner of produce, livestock, clothing and water vessels on their heads. I saw a few people carrying bricks made from the red Ugandan soil.
We saw people driving motorbikes strapped down with a dead pig, kids carrying 25-foot timbers, and we saw a group of people carrying someone in a homemade stretcher down a hill in the dark. The nearest big town was more than an hour away by car. Guy observed that in many cases, especially in the more urban areas, what the Ugandans carry, appears to be their livelihood, their portable business. We drove through the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, which is one of the only habitats for gorillas in the world. It was a hilly drive with long vistas, and we stopped a lot to take photos.Lunch break at the entrance ot Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
The border crossing from Uganda to Rwanda is not an orderly affair. You have to sort out where to begin, determine who needs to look at your passport and the various papers that you need to fill out. If you're not driving the car, you must walk around the border gate to a building where you emigrate from Uganda at one window and immigrate to Rwanda at the next.The process involved some standard questions about destination and purpose, which we all got through in a couple minutes. Edward, the last of our group to immigrate to Rwanda, received an extra lengthy interrogation.
The border guards had apparently had it up to here with the Northland Challenge vehicles by the time Vivian and Tim crossed as Vivian had an even longer interrogation than Edward.
Things looked up once we actually crossed into Rwanda. The main roads are quite nice, straight and lined with eucalyptus trees.
The hotel is not far from the border and from my room I can see some of the Virunga Mountain volcanoes. The large one on the right extends into three countries, Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The volcano on the far left is called "Sabyinyo" which means "old man's teeth"Tomorrow, we're off to bring light to the Janja school.

I'm on my way back to Maine from Chantilly, Va., where I attended most of day 2 of The Great Conversation's inaugural East Coast event.
Sponsored by Aronson Security Group, The Great Conversation brings together end users and selected integrators for discussions, case studies and panel discussions. It takes place annually in March in Seattle, where ASG is based.
The new East Coast event is co-sponsored by Kratos and the Security Executive Council.
Yesterday I attended a talk by Steve Goodman, the technology and communications center director for Brigham Young University. Goodman talked about a massive upgrade of its access control system, and how ASSA ABLOY worked with BYU to come up with a wireless lock solution that BYU could use with its existing 802.11 network and Software House system.
BYU served as its own integrator for the installation, only calling in its outside systems integrator as an advisor. Because it has a very strong IT department, that's what BYU has always done, Goodman said. BYU will call in an outside integrator when it's doing an installation that it has no experience with, such as when it upgraded its Software House CCure system to the newest version.
LONGVIEW, Wash.—Aaron Wenner, the owner of Universal Security and Alarm Inc., which got up and running here in April as an authorized Monitronics dealer, is looking to the Southern California market to expand, primarily because of "its nice, big retirement community."
"Those door-knocking companies only work four to five months out of the year, but we need to work year round, especially when it gets darker earlier; these (retirees) are home during the day," he said during an introductory phone call with Security Systems News.
Universal "doesn't do a whole lot" of door-knocking," although Wenner did when he worked for Utah-based NorthStar. He got tired of coming in "behind others who had totally ripped off customers," he said.
The company, which promises "no sneaky fees," has been doing well since its start-up, he said.
"We have a unique opportunity with Monitronics. We can sell our contracts to them or keep them for ourselves—it's totally up to us which ones we keep," he said. So far he has kept 200.
The company offers residential and commercial alarm systems, medical alert buttons and fire monitors to customers in Washington, Oregon and California. The wireless systems also provide remote access.
Day 3 of the Northland Challenge is over and I'm in my tent listening to a discordant chorus of hippos barking and roaring. We're at a campsite in a wilderness park on the shores of the Ishasha River, which is the narrow divider between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The river is loaded with hippos, which can stay underwater for 20 minutes or more, so if you see 5 or 6, there are likely at least 5 or 6 more underwater.
And they're not exactly friendly. As one of the guards at our camp told me, "the hippos will collect your visa if you try to cross the river."
Three armed guards carrying AK47s (vintage, I'm told) patrol the campground perimeter.
They've been busy. Earlier tonight a hippo strolled through the campsite coming within 30 feet of the campfire and 27 challengers. Flashlights and guns in hand, the guards escorted the enormous animal past the campfire and us.
Before we headed off to Ishasha most of us enjoyed self-guided safaris through Queen Elizabeth National Park. My partner, Guy, took off very early with Jim in search of lions, while I had a more leisurely start to the day. I had a chance to ride with Edward, a safari veteran, who suggested I open the sunroof and ride on the roof of the Rav4 to get a better view.
Some view: We spotted elephants, warthogs, water buffalos, and lots of antelope. I was a little leery of elephants after Vivian and Tim's encounter the day before, but we stayed a safe distance from the elephants.
It was George and Eric's turn with the elephants today. "We made a mistake and really stumbled into the herd," George said. "So, we sat there and tried not to give them a reason to attack us." Several minutes later the elephants moved on. It was a vivid reminder, George said, of "the difference between animals in the wild and [animals who are] contained."
Ishasha is the southern part of Queen Elizabeth National Park. On our way to Ishasha, Edward and I caught up with several other teams who'd stopped by the side of the road for lunch and we joined them (Cesar and Amanda, Andre and Joseph, Jim and Guy) in what was supposed to be a two-hour drive to the campsite.
The landscape of the park is exactly what I pictured Africa to look like, a savanna dotted with green flat-topped trees.
The delays commenced with our arrival at the Ishasha park gate (chatty gate attendant) and followed by a flat tire in the savannah.
Can't find the campsite, and Jim and Edward have a flat tire.
Cesar and Amanda decide to go find the campsite while others fix the flat tire.
Fixing the flat
It wasn't far away, but it took another two hours before we found our way to the wilderness camp.
Terrry, James K, and Paul put up a tent
Kirsten said this was her favorite night because she hadn't slept in a tent except in her backyard. She liked the fact that Terry took over as chef of the REI-freeze-dried pasta dinner and that Rob did a backflip off of a picnic table.
Drew, James C. and Eric
"I liked being disconnected. It's just you and everyone in the group sitting around the campfire," she said.
The campfire overlooking the Ishasha River.
Monday October 20, 2014, Kasese, Uganda
I woke up the Saturday, the first day of the Northland Challenge, thinking about Huck Finn. Toyota Rav4s are our modern-day rafts and our Mississippi is the narrow roads and lush terrain of Uganda.
We traveled more than 300 kilometers on Saturday, from Entebbe to Kibale; and another 100-plus kilometers yesterday from Kibale to Kasese.
Here's a sampling of events from the first 48 hours: Cesar and Amanda had baboons jump on the top of their vehicle and refuse to jump off; Vivian and Tim's car was surrounded by angry, stomping, ear flapping elephants—and after the elephants finally, thankfully, left and they were able to get on their way, another angry elephant charged them; Pierre had a close encounter with a chimp during the chimp tracking. My partner, Guy, and I have traveled "the extra mile" but not necessarily on purpose. (We started off the challenge with a multiple-kilometer detour. Then, we refused to believe a local who told us we were way off course, and detoured even farther.)
We've also seen emerald green hillside tea farms, banana tree plantations, very rudimentary indoor plumbing in some locations; beautiful, smiling children; women in gorgeous, brightly colored dresses with coordinated sashes and headscarfs; and we've met many kind, helpful locals.
Not your average day in the office.
A key element of the Northland Challenge is that we only learn our destination for the day at dinner the night before. We're told the destination and given a map of varying degrees of detail. For example, our destination for tonight is a campsite in Ishasha, part of Queen Elizabeth State Park.
The address? "Unnamed road."
Then there are "challenge points," things like: take a photo of a hippo or a photo of a landmark. Yesterday one of the challenge points was a photo of yourself at the marker for the equator with a stranger. We're given a number of options for activities (ie. do a self-guided safari; take a boat ride); some warnings ("this is not a race; don't feed the lions; if you reach this bridge you've gone too far.") We're encouraged to explore along the way.
How do the challengers react to this unstructured structure of the Challenge? Echo told me she finds it interesting. During her travels, she said she remembers advice from her mother to think about the worst case scenario—if you can handle that, go for it. If not, it's time to regroup.
Amanda told me she finds the lack of structure "freeing." James C. observed that when you don't have an exact route charted for you and a strict accompanying timeline, you worry less, he said.
Lacking very specific expectations, you're free to discover, they say.
Mostly it's just fun.
I'm sitting in the open air dining area of the lodge right now listening to challengers talking about the yesterday's adventure and planning today's.
Would you have wanted to experienced the encounter with the elephants? Who saw the black mamba snake? Will there be beer at the campsite?
Look for another blog in two days. No wifi at the campground tonight. In the meantime, check out Pierre's blog and some great photos at www.northlandchallenge.com
Honeywell's Connect 2014 is coming up next month, and I'm happy to say I'll be in attendance.
Best-selling author and syndicated columnist Jeffrey Gitomer will keynote the event, an annual gathering of independent dealers, which is scheduled for Nov. 13-16 in Orlando. Gitomer is a sales and customer service expert who will speak on his unique approach to driving sales.
More than 60 educational sessions aimed at residential, commercial and enterprise installers are scheduled. I've been looking at the list trying to plan a strategy to get to as many as I can.
Honeywell will be showing off its award-wining LYNX Touch 7000 and its High Definition IP Video Kits, and will be giving demos in its Connected Home Room—and that's something I'm looking forward to as well.
If you'll be there, let me know so we can meet up!

BUCKNER – Oldham County's pressure offense kept North Oldham on its heels through much of the game as the Colonels powered to a 4-0 win in the district soccer tourney Monday."We wanted to play high pressure — we think we can be successful against North that way," OCHS coach Mark Robson said. "We didn't want their defenders to have the ball to long and let them start their possession too soon."The pressure allowed the Colonels to score twice in each half, never allowing the Mustangs to challenge.The Colonels, 14-4-0 and ranked No.

Rabid Dog Briefly Mistaken for Tea Party Candidate

JEFFERSON CITY, MO — A rabid Doberman pinscher jumped on stage at a Tea Party rally in Missouri on the Fourth of July and barked at the crowd for nearly twenty minutes before people realized he was not a candidate. The Doberman's canine identity finally became clear when he lunged at a man in the front row and wrested a hamburger from his right hand, taking two of the man's fingers with it. Gwendolene Thomason, 42, a Tea Party supporter from Jefferson City, held out hope that, dog or no, the Doberman might consider running for office at some point. "I liked the way he bit off that guy's hand, and the way he did his business in the middle of the stage," she said. "We need more of that in Washington."
