TAMPA, Fla. (AP) _ Jameis Winston is excited about the next challenge in the maturation of the young Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a prime-time test against Tom Brady and the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.
"Really just a blessing for me personally," the 23-year-old quarterback said, looking ahead to Thursday night's matchup at Raymond James Stadium, where the up-and-coming Bucs (2-1) have won six straight going back to last season.
New England (2-2) enters the match searching for answers on defense, trying to avoid falling below .500 beyond the second week of a season for the first time since 2012.
"I don't like talking about me, but to get a chance to witness greatness in front of us with Tom Brady coming into town, it gets you pumped up," Winston added. "It definitely makes you think about how hard you worked to get to this point. I'm thinking about what I'm going to say to him when I see him and meet him."
The third-year pro often speaks of having aspirations to someday be recognized as the best to ever play his position. Brady has won more games than any QB in NFL history, including five Super Bowl championships, and Winston has spent a considerable amount of time studying him, Peyton Manning and others he admired growing up.
"His ability to protect the football and take advantage of opportunities when they are given to him is impeccable. Just studying him, just seeing how calm he is (and) how precise he is, is very impressive," Winston said.
"That is the reason why every offseason, every rep I get during the season ... I'm trying to (get) better and better because I know that he's still out there playing. He's still getting better and better," he added. "Him and Drew Brees, and a couple of the older veterans that are still playing to this day, are just inspirations for young guys like myself and the other guys coming into the league."
Winston won the Heisman Trophy and a national championship in college at Florida State. He's also been a big part of Tampa Bay's re-emergence as a playoff contender since entering the league as the first overall pick in the 2015 draft.
What he's accomplished in two-plus seasons as a pro - nearly 9,000 yards passing, with 56 touchdowns - not only has Tampa Bay on the rise but has caught the attention of Brady and Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
"He's a great, young player. I've watched him since he's came in and he's got them going, so they're headed in the right direction," Brady said.
"I know coach talked ... about their organization and what they're trying to do, and Jameis is right at the head of that," Brady added. "He's a great leader, has been since he came into the league, and he's been really productive. So it's a big challenge for our team: short week, travel, playing a good team."
The Patriots enter the game searching for those answers defensively. They've allowed a league-worst 456.8 yards per game, while also yielding nearly as many points (128) as the defending champs have scored (129).
Winston leads the league's No. 3 passing attack.
"Every week we go in seeing what we can take advantage of. But we've got to be real with ourselves and know that this is a week-to-week league and know that teams are going to come back with a better plan," Winston said.
"It's not like they're just going to allow people to get yards on them. They're going to come with a great plan," he added. "They have a great coach, a great quarterback, a great defense. We've got to be ready to play and take advantage of the opportunities when they're presented."

There seemed to be a lot to choose from, including chicken rice. Wait a minute, isn't this a vegetarian restaurant? But I was here mainly for the thunder rice, so it really didn't matter. I can't remember the last time I stepped into a Chinese vegetarian restaurant. It must have been decades ago, when I was first introduced to faux meat made of wheat gluten. My interest lasted only a couple of meals, mainly affected by the overwhelming use of artificial flavourings and oil. Of course, I'm still speaking in the context of Chinese vegetarian cuisine.
Over the years, my circle of friends extended. One of the ways to know them better is to understand their diets. I'm usually piqued by the vegetarians, especially when there's a story involved. Some refrain from meat for health reasons but most regard it as part of their religion. One that I know did it out of love and respect for his religious wife. I do have many questions on this practice, from both mythical and scientific perspectives, but I must agree that underlying the different beliefs is the fact that this diet is essentially a healthy way of life.
Green Valley was quiet that Saturday. Not surprising as it was way past lunch time. This choice of lunch venue was late and most arbitral. But a good one, no doubt. Coming into a vegetarian restaurant with a stomach full of pork (from breakfast), I did feel slightly sinful, so we had another fibrous, green dish, in hope of minimizing the guilt. Joking lah.
The thunder tea and rice - instantly noticeable was the missing component of anchovies, but with a good variety of vegetables, black-eyed peas (that's new), tofu cubes and peanuts thrown in, I was not missing much. As for the green (literally) tea, all I can say is, thank goodness! It was what I expected - a healthy blend of basil/coriander/pepper/mint/etc paste thinned in hot water. Now, I'm not sure if anyone noticed but more and more thunder tea sellers are substituting plain hot water with superior stocks. Sure, it makes the tea umami but that's just wrong. Not authentic. It's not fusion but funny. A farce, even. I shudder at the thought of my past superior stock-thunder tea experiences at some major foodcourts in Singapore. And another stall in Senai, Johor. So, in conclusion, I really enjoyed Green Valley's thunder tea for being as original as I remembered, sans meat.
I'm not sure if one of my favourite colours has influenced my decision on the fried spinach noodles with a lightly starched bittergourd, wolfberries and oyster mushroom topping, but it sure was a good choice. Simple, healthy, tasty and affordable, the dish basically left no room for critiques.
Looking at the tedious preparation, amount of ingredients used, its acquired taste and selling price, I am in view that thunder tea is not a lucrative business. That makes me appreciate the dish and the sellers even more, especially when it's good. So, the faux meats may not guarantee my return to Green Valley, but the thunder tea definitely will.

Michael Ignatius Griffin
My paternal grandfather Michael was born in Australia in the 1860/1870's (I think). He was married to Mary Francey (b. County Monaghan, Ireland) and moved to Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) in the 1890's where my father Kevin Griffin was born in 1919.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,

Representatives from Children of America, the new daycare center now setting up shop in the old Borders building at Germantown Avenue and Bethlehem Pike, appeared before the Development Review Committee Tuesday night, Feb. 21, to introduce themselves and talk about their business. The meeting was informational only because the day care center is allowed by right under the city's current zoning and is not seeking approval for a variance
Project manager Brad Parks answered questions from the committee on topics ranging from traffic and parking to building aesthetics and paint color, all in an informal setting. Parks told the committee he was curious to get input on these and other issues.
Parks said he was very impressed with neighborhood.
"It's just a beautiful little town, I love it," said Parks. He received a packet from Community Manager Celeste Hardester with the Germantown Avenue design guidelines.
Parks told the committee that there is a 14-week schedule to complete the work on the building, plus an additional 30 to 60 days past that for additional prep work. He said the business should be open in mid-June.
The building offers 16,000 square feet of space and will be, according to Parks, the largest facility of the company's 47 schools. This will be their 9th Pennsylvania location.
The sign on the building will be linear, similar to what Borders did. According to Parks it will run between the trim above the first floor windows, just below the second story dormers. He said the sign would be turquoise and have their logo.
"It may not be what you're looking for, but we're definitely willing to consider all of your ideas," he said.
Responding to concerns about where parents will pick up and drop off their children, Parks told the committee that children won't simply be dropped off in the front of the building. Instead, parents will walk in with their children and sign in with a swipe card. Each drop off will take between 4 to 5 minutes.
"Everything is monitored as security is, obviously, very important to us," Parks said.
He said the company has performed traffic studies that will be delivered to Hardester for consideration by the Traffic, Transportation, and Parking committee.
There are 19 spaces in the parking lot on the side of the building, two of which will often be occupied by buses. Parks said he hopes most employees will use transit to get to work. Parks expressed interest in offering a commuter benefit to employees that would allow pre-tax dollars to be used to pay for transit.
Unlike other locations, the playground for this facility will be located in the basement and not outside the building. When the renovations are complete the basement will feature ten-foot high ceilings and padded walls. The equipment will be specialized, similar to the kinds of ball pits seen at McDonald's restaurants.
Aesthetics committee representative Carolyn Simmons expressed concern that glare from the interior fluorescent lighting would reflect out onto the street. Parks said he plans to install a tempered inlay for the windows that will be tinted. Parks told her the tint would prevent a lot of light from being visible on the street. Parks said he has no plans to install any awnings on the exterior of the building.
Also on-hand were Dr. Vicki Folds, Vice President of Education and Professional Development, and Kylee Kline, business manager for the Northeast Region. Dr. Folds writes the curriculum for all of Children of America's schools. Both she and Mr. Parks are headquartered in Florida.
Representing the business association, Rob Remus asked about how the school would market to the area. Kline said that they would focus on a 5-mile radius around the school to target direct mailings and newspaper ads. She said in her experience with other suburban locations, 75-80% of the student will come from this radius.
At full capacity, this school can handle 226 students. This would require a full staff of 28.
"We're a long-term neighbor, we want to be a good neighbor," said Parks.
According to its website, Children of America is a Florida-based daycare and after-school care provider with 47 schools in 12 states. Founded in 1999, their curriculums are "developed to accommodate key age ranges." The company is a subsidiary of World Wide Child Care Corp (WWCC).
The Development Review Committee suggested that Children of America also meet with the Traffic, Transportation, and Parking Committee, as well as a joint meeting of the Aesthetics and Historical Advisory Committees and they agreed. Traffic, Transportation and Parking will meet Monday March 5th at 7:00pm in a location yet to be determined.

St. Mary's Section 2A champs...again
The St. Mary's Knights and the New Ulm Cathedral Greyhounds clashed last Friday night in Sleepy Eye for the Section 2A championship in a rematch of last year's game. However, this year the roles were reversed with St. Mary's posting an undefeated record and the number one seed whereas last year they were the upstart team that surprised the Greyhounds and pulled off a bit of an upset to win. The results, though, were the same with St. Mary's decisively winning 48-28 to take the Section 2A championship for the second year in a row.
It seems strange to say that with a 20 point margin the game was close, as St. Mary's held a two or three touchdown lead throughout the game, but Cathedral has a solid offense and the lead never really felt safe until well into the fourth quarter. Unlike most run-oriented offenses that the Knights faced this year, Cathedral can throw the ball just enough to keep a defense off balance. The big difference between the two teams is that St. Mary's has a more balanced offense that can run and pass with equal skill and can throw the deep ball.
Cathedral did not have a vertical passing game to match up with the Knights, mostly throwing screens and short outs, but depending on the run to put points on the board. "Jordan (Anderson) and his wide receivers were in sync," said St. Mary's head coach Brent Kucera. "They were completing the deep balls very well. Cathedral's defenders were in position, but Jordan put the ball in the perfect spot."
"Cathedral's offense was very good," said Kucera. "They executed their blocks and ran well." But in reality, Cathedral simply did not have the game to keep up with St. Mary's prolific scoring machine. St. Mary's had 12 possessions and scored on seven of them. Also, at least in this game, the Knights had a better defensive effort and stopped the Greyhounds when they had to. They held the running tandem of Ben Kittler and Adam Schnobrich to 79 and 59 yards respectively. The Greyhounds did not score on a pass play.
First Half
St. Mary's took the opening kickoff and scored on a methodical six play 59-yard drive that featured a 31-yard pass play to Sean Mathiowetz and a 14-yard scoring pass to Brandon Helget. Mitch Neid ran the ball in for the two-point PAT and the Knights took an 8-0 lead, one they would never relinquish. Cathedral was forced to punt, pinning the Knights back on their own seven yard line. Cathedral must have thought "We've got them now, in bad field position." Wrong. Anderson dropped back and dropped a perfect pass into Mathiowetz's hands, who ran 94 yards for the score. Mathiowetz also caught the PAT pass to up the score to 16-0. The 94 yard pass play was a St. Mary's school record, breaking last year's 91-yard play from Anderson to Adam Sellner.
The Greyhounds scored on their next possession on a seven yard run by Schnobrich. The PAT failed and the quarter ended with the Knights in the lead 16-6. St. Mary's scored to open the second quarter on a 17 play 65-yard drive that ate up a lot of time. Neid ran six yards for the TD, the PAT was no good and the Knights extended the lead to 22-6. On their next possession St. Mary's was forced to punt for the first time in the game, but Cathedral could not capitalize on the opportunity when Mike Hirsch tipped a Colin Helget pass and the ball was intercepted by Lucas Heiderscheidt. The Knights went right to work and scored on two plays, the TD coming on a 40-yard pass play to John Brandl for a 28-6 lead. (The PAT failed.) The Greyhounds got on the board again when Kittler ran 14 yards for the score, helped by a pass interference call on the Knights. The two-point PAT was good and Cathedral narrowed the lead to 28-14. New Ulm threatened to score again, but they were stopped at the goal line by a great Heiderscheidt tackle of Schnobrich.
Second Half
The third quarter was pretty quiet, with both teams being intercepted, stalling drives. St. Mary's got on the board with a TD late in the quarter on a short pass to Mathiowetz. The PAT failed and the Knights opened the gap again 34-14. The fourth quarter began with a score on a one-yard run by Schnobrich, the two-point conversion was good and it looked like the Greyhounds were getting back into the game at 34-22. That didn't last for long as the Knights marched 55 yards to score on a four-yard run by David Surprenant, helped by a 37-yard pass play to Mathiowetz. Mathiowetz was having a terrific game and would end up with 183 yards receiving. The PAT was good for a 42-22 lead.
You have to give credit to the Greyhounds. They weren't going down without a fight as they scored on a six yard run by Jake Stadick to make the game interesting at 42-28. St. Mary's got the ball back and Anderson promptly connected with Brandl on a 40-yard pass and Surprenant ran the ball in from the six yard line to bump the score to its final mark of 48-28. On the next series Jared Rothmeier intercepted a Cathedral pass and with 2:43 left to play, St. Mary's ran out the clock.
"Our O-line and David Surprenant really ran the ball well in the second half to keep the clock rolling and put points on the board to finish the game," said Kucera. Surprenant had a monster game. The sophomore ran for 39 yards and two TDs and had nine solo tackles and four assists on defense. "Give credit to our quarterback," said Surprenant after the game. "He found the right holes and I just had to wait for my blocks." Surprenant has good speed and is a load to tackle. He's going to be fun to watch the next two years.
Dragged away from the celebration on the field and asked what this game meant to the school and the team, Anderson said, "To go to state two years in a row is amazing. It's great for the seniors who showed so much leadership all year long. We've been together for four years as high school friends and this is a great way to go out." Anderson then pulled Cody Berkner into the conversation saying, "You've got to put my center in the paper. He's a big reason for our success." Indeed, the senior plays a difficult position on both sides of the ball, but especially at center where he has to make defensive reads, protect his quarterback and lead on run plays. Oh yeah, he also has to accurately snap the ball, no easy task when the Knights run so many plays out of the shotgun formation. Predictably for an offensive lineman Berkner didn't have much to say, but his big smile showed he seemed to enjoy getting the recognition he richly deserves.
Next up is the state quarterfinals Saturday at 6 p.m., at the Rochester Community and Technical College where the Knights take on Bethlehem Academy from Faribault. There are no easy games at this level; each opponent is a sectional champion. "They are a tough team," said Kucera. "Physically they don't have any weaknesses and are solid at every position. I think their D-line is the strength of the team. They get off the ball and attack and they have good skill players. We'll need to keep playing like this game. We look forward to the challenge."

February 7, 2008
The month-and-a-half long search for Wabash's next head football coach is officially over, as Erik Raeburn has been given the task to pick up where Chris Creighton left off.
Raeburn arrived at Wabash Monday night, and has had a hectic time settling in, taking care of college business, meeting with members of the media and finally his team, all on his first day on the job. In the small time Raeburn has spent on campus thus far, he has already gotten a strong sense of the tradition and camaraderie present.
"You can just tell this is a special place," Raeburn said. "It's a great atmosphere and great student support. I was at the basketball game (against Wittenberg) and I was very impressed with the fans."
Raeburn comes to Crawfordsville after spending the last eight years at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he turned a mediocre program into a perennial conference contender in the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. He posted a 57-26 record at Coe, as well as coaching 65 All-Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference players, 40 All-Americans, and two Academic All-Americans.
He guided Coe to its first IIAC title in school history in 2002, and followed with conference championships in 2004 and 2005. He was the 2002 IIAC Coach of the Year and Regional Coach of the Year. He led the Kohawks to their first-ever playoff appearance in 2002, advancing to the second round, and also led Coe to the playoffs in 2005. .
"We admire the conference he coached in," said Dean of Students Thomas Bambrey, who led the committee that hired Raeburn. "Winning there in the IIAC is impressive."
Raeburn also has experience with arguably the best program in all of Division III football. Before taking over at Coe, Raeburn was an assistant coach for his alma mater, Mount Union. The Purple Raiders won four national championships while Raeburn was their Offensive Line coach and Offensive Coordinator.
"My experience as an assistant coach was tremendously positive," Raeburn said. "I was there before we were a national power. I know how difficult it can be to get over the hump." And that's exactly what will be expected of Raeburn - getting over the hump. Creighton brought Wabash to the national spotlight with three playoff appearances, but the Little Giants have been unable to compete with the top tier Division III teams. Raeburn hopes that will change.
"There's a pretty fine line between where we are now and a National Championship," Raeburn said. "There are some big steps to take. We have a great football program in place. We're in better shape then you probably realize."
Among those steps, Raeburn said are commitment, work ethic, recruiting talent and putting that talent in a great system.
Raeburn also believes that the unique culture of Wabash will help him recruit that talent.
"Wabash being all-male is an advantage," Raeburn said. "It's something special and unique about Wabash that other schools can't offer."
Offensively, Raeburn's system will be similar to Creighton's open passing attack.
"There will be more similarities than differences," Raeburn said. "What we try to do, rather than plugging players into a system, is forming a system around the players we have. So if we have four great receivers, we're going to spread them out and throw it. But if we feel our best players are tight ends and full backs, we'll take advantage of that."
As a coach, Raeburn described himself as "very motivated, very driven and very demanding." But he also said he cares about his players and what they do off the field.
"I'm excited to be here," Raeburn said. "you guys have some amazing traditions here, and I'm still just learning. Those are important, I need to embrace those and learn those."

Nine Central District States Show Improvement in the Community Banking Sector Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Analysis Shows
CHICAGO — Financial performance of the community banking industry in nine Central District states is improving and the number of problem banks has fallen, according to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
At the same time, bank earnings, on the mend for several quarters due to improving asset quality and reduced provision expenses, remain under pressure as a result of low interest rates and asset yields, compressed margins, and heavy competition for quality assets, said agency officials during a conference call with regional reporters.
These are among the findings of the OCC's fourth quarter 2012 risk analysis covering the nine states that make up the agency's Central District. OCC's Central District covers seven states (Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin) and parts of two others (Minnesota and Missouri).
"The trend lines are improving, something we've been seeing since early 2011 when the number of problem banks began to fall," said District Deputy Comptroller Bert Otto. "The number of better capitalized banks has improved; we're seeing more banks emerge from credit problems, and commercial vacancy rates are improving across the region. Community banks and thrifts are working aggressively to address current and prospective risks."
"Overall, we're seeing some pressure on community banks which are experiencing still narrow net interest margins. As community banks strive to offset lower revenues with new products, new services, or higher yielding investments, strategic risk will be a focus during upcoming bank examinations," Otto said.
The analysis is developed quarterly by the OCC's Central District's Risk Committee which analyzes financial data from the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income, also known as the "Call Report," in addition to input from the 18 local Assistant Deputy Comptrollers. The analysis identifies current and potential risks facing the district's national banks and savings institutions and assists banks in proactively identifying and managing potential risks.
"The input from our managers throughout the district, in addition to our lead expert group, contributes greatly to our dynamic Risk Committee process," said Risk Committee Chairman and District Risk Officer John Meade.
The OCC's Central District supervises 526 community banks and savings institutions which hold a national charter and range in size from $3 million to $11 billion. Combined, the national banks and federal savings associations in the OCC Central District hold $192 billion in assets.
For a breakout of conditions in each of the nine states, please see the attached fact sheet containing state specific information.

5 Steps To Banishing Blackheads at Home
The truth is, everyone deals with blackheads. "They certainly are frustrating," celebrity esthetician Renee Rouleau says. "While there's no miracle product that removes them from the skin, there are definitely things you can do to discourage their formation." From at-home extraction tips to helpful products, Rouleau offers a step-by-step guide to dealing with the common problem, above!
The first step? Unclog your pores. Whether you remove blackheads yourself (gently, of course) or have a professional facial, manual extraction is a must. In a professional facial, your esthetician will raise the temperature of the skin by applying warm steam and performing a facial massage to "melt" the hardened oil within the pores to make for easier extractions. For do-it-yourself extractions, it's best to remove blackheads after a shower since your skin's temperature is higher than usual.
If you're going the DIY route, apply a thin coat of the heaviest moisturizer you have to your skin post-shower. The rich moisturizer creates a temporary occlusive seal to keep the heat trapped in the skin (which is necessary for extractions). Next, cover the area with plastic wrap and apply warm, damp towels on top for five minutes.
Remove the plastic and wrap tissue over each forefinger before gently squeezing to remove blackheads. To avoid creating squeeze marks, go easy and be sure to relocate the position of your fingers often. For example, position fingers at 3:00 and 9:00 and then 5:00 and 10:00. Afterward, apply a cooling gel mask to reduce any redness.
Once your pores are clean, it's important to incorporate products into your routine that use acids, such as AHA's and BHA's, to absorb directly into the pores and keep them clean, as well as preventing the oil from filling back up so quickly. Skincare products with acids, include cleansers with beta hydroxys such as salicylic acid, serums, and at-home pore cleaning peels, are worthy investments. (Be sure the products are gentle and do not contain SD alcohol 40 or denatured alcohol.)
Note: Do not use any acid-based products for at least 24 hours after manual extractions.
Lastly, you want to prevent oil from oxidizing. Perhaps not surprising, given their name, that's what antioxidants do. Think of it like this: When you cut an apple into pieces, you can apply lemon juice, which is high in vitamin C, to prevent it from turning brown. The same rule applies to the skin and blackheads.
This moisturizer contains kiwi extract, which boosts cellular renewal, and organic carob extract, which supports collagen production.
This gel mask actually reduces the skin's temperature, plumping, moisturizing, and fighting dark spots by reducing melatonin.
Our go-to post-sunburn mask, this calming gel will cool over-heated skin, reduce redness, and even help your face recover from a hard workout if you're in a rush.
A mix of glycolic, citric, and lactic acid, this immediately evens skintone and reduces the appearance of pores.
Formulated for acne-prone skin, this gel has licorice and aloe for anti-ageing benefits alongside its soothing, hyperpigmentation-fighting abilities.
Sprinkle a bit of this powder into your daily moisturizer for added protection against the elements.
A hardworking serum that fights free radicals (UVA, UVB, and infrared damage), while replenishing lipids.

Even if your plan will be used only as a road map for your business development, you still should create a cash flow statement and an income statement so you have figures by which you can gauge your company's performance.
The following list of problems is by no means complete, but should give you an idea of some possibilities.
An income statement for a business plan should be broken out by month the first year. The second year can be broken down quarterly, and annually for each year after. Analyze the results of the income statement briefly and include this analysis in your business plan. If your business already exists, include income statements for previous years.
Investors will also want to know what they will receive in return for their capital. Be as clear as you can in this section both about the potential upside and the potential downside of investing in your business. A common mistake in a business plan is to be unclear in this section, which turns potential investors away. If the company founders have invested in the company, include this in your plan. Some investors are encouraged by founders putting their own money on the line.
Finally, create an exit plan that describes how investors will get their money out of your company. One common investor worry is that even if a business is profitable, it may be difficult for them to get a good price for their shares. A cash-out option in five years or assurance that the company will become a strong candidate for a purchase or an IPO (Initial Public Offering) are what many venture capitalists and lenders will insist upon. Include the following elements as appropriate:

Detecting Irregularities
WOULD a public accountant who
made an audit and failed to discover
irregularities through which $2,500
had been abstracted from the client's funds
be open to criticism? He would. If he
failed to find a wrong costing method which
was speeding the concern on to bankruptcy,
would he be equally censurable? He
In the first instance the damage to his
reputation would be considerable. No one
can say how much. In some such cases
there might be mitigating circumstances;
or circumstances beyond the control of the
accountant. But in the eyes of the public
he would, in all probability, be roundly
In the second instance, the chances are
that nothing would ever be heard ,of the
defect in cost-finding methods, at least,
not until a receiver had been appointed.
And there would be plenty of persons who
would contend strenuously that an auditor
is not expected to discover deep-seated
defects in a cost accounting system. Generally
speaking, this would be the attitude
of the public.
The up-bringing of the public is responsible
for the attitude in each instance.
The press has regaled the public with
stories of irregularities. The popular conception
of auditing is that it discovers
irregularities. Here and there may come
a faint ray of true conception as to the
proper functions of an auditor. By and
large he is regarded as a detector and discoverer
of any and all stealings, irrespective
of their size. He has not yet been
broadly credited with skill in detecting
mistakes of policy and procedure and
charged with the responsibility of passing
judgment on these matters as they are
revealed by a study of the accounts.
Too much importance is undoubtedly
attached by the general public to the effectiveness
of the audit process in detecting
fiduciary lapses. By the same token too
much in this respect is expected of public
accountants in connection with the ordinary
audit engagement. Wherein lies the
wisdom of devoting ten days to the discovery
of minor peculations when the same
space of time, utilized in other directions,
would have resulted in findings worth
thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands
of dollars, to the client? The amount of
time necessary to discover shortages many
times is entirely out of proportion to the
amount discovered. Think of the hours
employed in search which have resulted in
the discovery of no irregularities whatsoever.
But think also of the ignominy
attaching to an auditor where a shortage
exists and is not discovered by the auditor.
A change in audit procedure relative to
checking fiduciary integrity seems to be
indicated. The matter is a ticklish one,
so to speak. The methods used must be

Being able to produce fine embroidery was a sign of female accomplishment and education in the nineteenth century. Martha "Patty" Phelps came to Deerfield Academy in May 1804, only one month after her mother died. She spent the summer stitching this silk-on-silk embroidery recording her mother's and her young brother's deaths. Mourning pictures like these were a way of expressing a family's sorrow and sense of loss. The weeping willows and urns Patty Phelps sewed were traditional symbols of mourning in the nineteenth century.

I found this recipe in the weekend edition of the Wall St. Journal as good "noshing" food for New Year's and had to give it a try, with a few minor changes.
It comes from chef Michael Symon of the Parea Greek restaurant in New York and Lola & Lolita Bistro in Cleveland. The meatballs are quite tasty and work well dipped in a little yogurt.
Greek Meatballs RecipePrint
Meatballs can also be cooked ahead, refrigerated and reheated in the microwave on high for 2 minutes.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1 large shallot, minced
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 4 ounces salt pork or bacon, ground or finely minced
- Zest of 1 orange
- 2 tablespoons chopped mint
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Greek yogurt for dipping
1 Soften shallots, jalapeño, garlic: Heat a small pan over medium heat and add oil, minced garlic, jalapeño and shallot, and cook for 1 minute, then let cool.
2 Make meatball mixture: Meanwhile, crumble lamb into a large bowl. Evenly scatter the salt pork (or bacon), orange zest and mint over lamb, and season with pepper. Sprinkle the cooled garlic mixture over lamb.
3 Form meatballs: Gently mix until just combined, then form into 1¼-inch balls and transfer to a plate or sheet pan.
4 Brown meatballs on all sides: Heat a large cast iron pan over medium to medium high heat. Working in batches if necessary to prevent crowding, brown meatballs on all sides until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
Serve warm with toothpicks or skewers with plain yogurt.

In last week's Monitoring Matters blog, I discussed the Apple Watch's new SOS feature, and its similarities and differences between PERS functions. A few security professionals took me up on the opportunity to respond.
Daniel Oppenheim, VP of Affiliated Monitoring, said that the heightened consumer awareness of personal emergency features could grow the market, instead of cannibalize it, and that the demographics are different. "I think the Apple Watch, specifically, is for a more mobile, more active, more tech-savvy person who would not yet be an mPERS or PERS customer." Affiliated hosted a PERS-focused conference in May.
He pointed to Amazon, and its Echo product, as another possible entrant. "In its current iteration, the Amazon Echo is not competition, but it is a harbinger of things to come, which is the realization that consumer products now have the ability to replicate or even improve on the current technology offerings of our industry."
Oppenheim said that neither are large concerns, but something the industry should keep an eye on. "I don't view either [Amazon Echo's virtual assistant] Alexa or the Apple Watch as a near-term threat to the PERS industry—I think it's something that we need to be focused on."
Brock Winzeler, GM of mPERS manufacturer Freeus, didn't see much threat in the announced Apple SOS feature. "I don't think the impact would be significant," he said. "The reason is: It is very, very difficult to replace the services that we offer. … Our devices call a monitoring center that is specifically built to handle PERS phone calls and PERS emergencies."
Oppenheim shared a similar sentiment on the value of a monitoring center. "That crucial decision making process, by which an operator can have a conversation and identify whether or not help is needed—and stay on the line with the customer as help is on its way, for those that do need it—I do not see that being replaced by technology."
Speaking more generally on voice interaction, Oppenheim said that the technology could become more prevalent in the future. "It seems complex now, but in a short period of time, the concept of voice interaction with a virtual assistant will become commonplace."
Winzeler also said there is a technology barrier for the traditional PERS demographics. "I think you'll have a really tough time getting the senior demographic to adopt this type of technology. I think it's just a little more challenging."
Rich Darling, CEO of Instant Care, an OEM PERS manufacturer, also said that PERS and Apple Watch feature differ due to their target users' abilities. "It is our belief that the Apple watch is a fantastic device for the tech savvy user. However, as a … PERS OEM we have found that the most successful products targeting the PERS market are designed to require very little from the user, and perform as required when the need arises."
Just as we have seen with the smart phone revolution, the battle for the smart home looks like it will be just as hotly contested, as there is no denying that consumers today are embracing the smart home concept.
Studies are popping up weekly confirming that demand is increasing for smart home products and services as homeowners learn more about smart home and home automation technology available today.
The latest research, from market research firm Berg Insight out of Gothenburg, Sweden, shows that North America is leading the global smart home market with 12.7 million smart homes in 2015, a 56 percent year-on-year growth. According to the research, the strong market growth is expected to last for years to come, driving the number of smart homes in North America to 46.2 million by 2020, which corresponds to 35 percent of all households.
The study found that the most successful products in the smart home market include smart thermostats, security systems, smart lighting, network cameras, and multi-room audio systems.
"There is no doubt that regular consumers in the future will own and operate a wide range of connected objects in their homes, from connected home appliances and luminaires to thermostats and security devices," said Johan Svanberg, senior analyst, Berg Insight. "Attractive use cases, interoperable devices, and well-implemented user interfaces are needed in order to accelerate the market."
Although Amazon Echo's Alexa is leading the smart home charge right now, Apple is making a serious play with its announcement at its Worldwide Developers Conference last week of its new app called Home, which will be a hub on the iPhone for all the connected devices in the home. The app is the logical next step for Apple's HomeKit platform, and both work with Siri, who is getting some improvements and upgrades as well.
Apple also announced that it is working with homebuilders—Brookfield Residential, Lennar and KB Home—to build homes later this year that come with built-in Apple HomeKit infrastructure.
Other major players in this battle for the voice-driven smart home include Microsoft with its Cortana voice platform, and Google Home's Assistant, which was announced in May. Rumors abound that both Microsoft and Google, like Apple, are gearing up for a serious play for a piece of the smart home market.
Apple's brand equity with consumers, though, shouldn't be ignored, as it is not a big leap to think that consumers would be willing to take the plunge into the smart home market with Apple, a company they know will be able to provide a complete, somewhat air-tight system from the ground up, so to speak.
One negative for Apple is its seemingly late entry into the smart home space, where many early adopters are already using many smart home products that will not work with Apple's HomeKit platform, which requires using a special encryption chip. Some HomeKit-certified products are currently available from companies like Honeywell, August and Phillips Hue, and Apple said that there are close to 100 more compatible products coming this year.
Stay tuned, because things are starting to get interesting in the smart home space.
Apple recently announced a new 'SOS' feature coming to the Apple Watch—similar to a PERS device.
If an Apple Watch user holds down the device's side button, emergency services local to that user's location will be notified, as well as emergency contacts.
I spoke with former Numera CEO, current Group VP of the Nortek Innovations & Incubation Foundry, about how the Nortek offerings compare to the announced features of the Apple Watch SOS. He said one particular differentiator for Nortek is "the advanced fall detection capabilities. In order to have highly reliable fall detection, you need to have something around your torso."
Smokoff noted the difference in battery life. The Apple Watch lasts about 18 hours and the Libris mPERS device lasts "about 2-and-a-half days on average," he said.
There is a gap in price between the Apple Watch, which needs an iPhone to work, and the Libris mPERS device which stands alone and costs less than the Apple Watch by itself.
While I've heard of new and emerging markets for personal emergency devices—such as hikers, lone workers or for college campus safety—many of the PERS and mPERS companies I've spoken with point to the aging-in-place market as the market's main demographic.
It seems to me that there are several reasons why the Apple Watch SOS feature wouldn't break into the aging-in-place market. Firstly, both the Apple Watch and the user's iPhone need to be charged and both devices need to be near each other.
Second, older PERS or mPERS users may not be as comfortable with technology and, therefore, less likely to own and operate an iPhone in conjunction with an Apple Watch.
Should people take notice of Apple's entrance in the market? Will Apple take customers away from dealers in the PERS and mPERS space? If you have any thoughts, feel free to email me: email@example.com.

I recently got the chance to have an email conversation with CMS' president Tony Wilson about the company working with Honeywell's DragonFly DIY offering. The DragonFly product is a self-installed system that is tied to professional monitoring. Wilson said the company hopes to have dealers on the DIY program by the end of June.
Wilson said that this is the first DIY solution that CMS is offering its dealers, adding that the company is also "considering adding an additional DIY program that will offer a more traditional security system solution."
CMS has been looking at the DIY offering since April 2015, according to Wilson. "In April 2015, CMS hosted a small dealer meeting, where one of the hot topics was the growing DIY market. I invited Keith Jentoft, president of RSI/Videofied at the time, to speak at that dealer meeting. Keith introduced the DragonFly offering to the group, and there was a fairly positive response from that small group of dealers."
"Once we knew the majority of our dealers were interested it was a no-brainer," he said. "We ramped up the integration of DragonFly with our monitoring platform, and started educating our Business Development team about the product."
"After a year or so of discussion with our dealers about the DIY business model, and the growth of DIY as a competitor in the security market, we're hoping that this is an easy way for them to combat against sales they're losing to DIY only companies."
Wilson also said that the offering could help CMS dealers enter new markets, "like renters, and all those millennials who don't see the value in a traditional security system."
The company announced the DragonFly offering at ISC West, alongside its new proprietary dealer portal, CMS Compass. "Our dealers are excited about the mobile app, the real time data entry, and easy access to reporting. They realize that CMS Compass is going to be much more than a dealer portal, it's going to help them navigate their business in a whole new way. … [It] should be ready for our dealers by the end of July."
CMS is a wholesale monitoring company under Protection 1. Concerning the recent deal merger with Protection 1 and ASG, a company spokesperson declined to discuss the deal, saying that not much has changed at CMS.
After telling the audience, "Another great depression is coming in 2030," as baby boomers continue to age and put pressure on our healthcare system and finances, Beaulieu then said the next few years will be very good for the country and the security industry overall.
"2015 was a good year—record high levels of GDP and job opportunities, and the economy is growing," he said. "I expect the fed rates to go up, so now is the time to get that loan, and make that purchase or acquisition, hire new people."
He said that it is also imperative to "make sure your training and retention programs are top notch," and "plan for higher wages and energy costs" down the road.
In the short term, Beaulieu said that he sees a mild recession coming in 2019, similar to the one we had in the '90s, and although he wouldn't pick our next president, he did guarantee a "one term president" because of that looming recession.
In regard to that great depression in 2030, Beaulieu said we have the baby boomers to blame for it.
"We have 80 million baby boomers, but we have 3- to 4 million more millennials," he said. "The millennials are going to need all of us baby boomers to die off because we are going to ruin the economy for them."
As for the millennials, Beaulieu said, "Who knew it, but they are just like us, and want the same things we do—a family, kids and a house in the 'burbs. They will be a strength for our nation, but only after us baby boomers die off."
Beaulieu told the audience not to be afraid to hire millennials, especially at a time when it is so difficult to find quality employees in the security industry. "Just make sure you feed them," Beaulieu said. "And I am talking actual food."
COLUMBIA, S.C.—Electric Guard Dog, a manufacturer and installer of a solar-powered perimeter security system that is electrified and monitored by a central station, based in Columbia, S.C., has a new private equity owner as of June 14.
Snow Phipps, a PE private equity firm focused on middle-market control investments, targeting platform companies with enterprise values ranging from $100 million to $500 million, has purchased Electric Guard Dog from Ulysses Management for an undisclosed amount.
Raymond James & Associates advised to Electric Guard Dog on the deal.
"The company is poised for significant growth and we intend to meet growing demand by continuing to invest in sales, marketing, service technicians, compliance, and technology," Sean Epps, partner at Snow Phipps, said in a statement.
Electric Guard Dog CEO Jack DeMao and the current management team will remain. In December, Electric Guard Dog CFO Nathan Leaphart answered an SSN News Poll about the benefits of being owned by private equity.
In 2014, Electric Guard Dog passed $2m in RMR.
Snow Phipps operating partner John Kenny will join Electric Guard Dog as the non-executive chairman of the Board of Directors.
Friday, June 10
I started the final day at ESX sitting in on a session titled, "Rethinking the Political Landscape - How to Impact the Industry through Legislative Action," which was moderated by Robert Few, director, Time Warner Cable - IntelligentHome, and featured panelists Todd Baxter, regional vice president of government affairs, Texas, Time Warner Cable, and David Morris, founder, Modern Systems Inc.
The Panel emphasized taking a proactive role through industry representation with elected officials.
"ESA is currently tracking and monitoring 177 bills that could possibly affect the industry," noted Baxter, who said it is imperative that security company owners get to know their state legislature, who can make them aware of impactful legislation.
"It is so important to meet and get to know them [state legislators]," he said. "They are there to represent you."
Morris told his story of how he was able to block some legislation in his state of Kentucky that would have been harmful to security businesses by reaching out to his state legislators and getting the word out to others in the industry and within the state. "I knew it [the proposed legislation] wasn't good for our industry," he said. "Don't assume the state knows what they are doing when it relates to our industry."
Morris was able to work with his state legislators to amend and rewrite the bill to better reflect the needs of the security industry and professionals in his state. "Everything we suggested to the state they agreed to and added in the language of the bill."
Although the bill died in committee, the panel all agreed that sometimes halting or killing a bill that is bad for business is an important first step.
"The entire process is set up to kill bills," said Baxter. "I like to tell people that there are two things you should never watch being made: sausage and legislation. It is very difficult to get a bill through and more than half don't make it."
For those looking to dip their toe into the legislative pool, Few said participating in the annual ESA legislative trip to Washington, D.C., "was the key to figuring out the process" for him.
For the closing keynote, Economist Alan Beaulieu, a principal of ITR Economics, returned by popular demand and did not disappoint, as he was able to mix economic forecasting with a wry sense of humor that had attendees both intellectually riveted and spitting out their drinks at the same time.
For starters, to get everyone's attention, Beaulieu started out by saying, "Another great depression is coming in 2030," as baby boomers continue to age and put pressure on our healthcare system and finances.
"We have 80 million baby boomers, but we have 3- to 4 million more Millennials," he said, pointing out, "The Millennials are going to need all of us baby boomers to die off because we are going to ruin the economy for them."
In the short term, though, Beaulieu said that he sees a mild recession coming in 2019, similar to the one we had in the '90s. But before that happens, he says the next few years will be very good for the country and the security industry overall.
"2017 was a good year—record high levels of GDP and job opportunities, and the economy is growing," he said. "I expect the fed rates to go up, so now is the time to get that loan, and make that purchase or acquisition, hire new people."
Although he wouldn't pick our next president, he did guarantee a "one term president," because of the looming recession in 2019.
As for the Millennials, Beaulieu said, "Who knew it, but they are just like us, and want the same things we do—a family, kids and a house in the burbs. They will be a strength for our nation, but only after us baby boomers die off."
He told the audience not to be afraid of hiring Millennials, especially at a time when it is so difficult to find quality employees in the security industry. "Just make sure you feed them," Beaulieu said. "And I am talking actual food."
Thursday, June 9
Day two at ESX 2016 began with the Industry Excellence Breakfast, which provided the perfect setting to recognize and honor the industry's leaders with awards. It also featured keynote speaker Michael Jagger, founder and CEO of Provident Security, who stressed to attendees that becoming great or "remarkable" at what you do involves staying focused on your business model, and many times saying no to the numerous opportunities that arise for companies in today's security industry.
He gave the example of renowned master chef Jiro Ono at Sukiyabashi Jiro in Tokyo, a three-star Michelin restaurant located in the basement of an office building that Jagger visited on a recent trip. Ono has made a name for himself, Jagger pointed out, by "intentionally not being bigger, staying smaller and being the best sushi chef he can be," he said.
After the Industry Excellence Breakfast, I sat in on an educational session titled, "Video is the New RMR," moderated by Scott Carpenter, president, Action Alarm Solutions, and featuring panelist Larry Folsom, president, i-View Now, Nik Gagvani, president, CheckVideo, LLC, and Daniel Forrest, CEO, Eyeforce Inc.
Carpenter led the session off by saying, "Video is the next market that will save everyone," as it provides the opportunity to add a new level of RMR to your business.
Gagvani pointed out that in addition to the new wave of IP-based cameras available and the capability of cloud-based monitored video being readily available, "video analytics allows you to expand your monitoring capability."
Forrest noted that although video is being used for small to enterprise commercial locations, he sees increased adoption of video on the residential side. "There have been some privacy issues in the past for the home but that is changing," he said, opening up another area for increasing RMR for dealers today.
Gagvani added, "There are a lot of good use cases to draw on now in the home, so video will become more accessible to, and desired by home owners."
Moving back to the main stage for the Public Safety Luncheon, featured speaker FBI Section Chief Philip Celestini provided an overview of what the FBi is doing to combat the ever-changing landscape of cyber threats. As a veteran special agent of the FBI, Celestini is the Senior Executive FBI Representative to the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command, and has seen first-hand the financial and other impact cyber attacks have on the U.S. and throughout the world.
For example, ransom-ware attacks went from causing $25 million in losses to $200 million in just the last year in the U.S., as well as an astonishing $2 trillion in cyber crime losses worldwide. Furthermore, "80 percent of companies who have been attacked by ransom-ware are not reporting it to law enforcement," he said, which is why the FBI is reaching out to the industry for its help in spreading the word of the importance of cyber security and working with law enforcement to minimize loss.
The second day on the trade show floor gave me another chance to check out the ESX Innovation Award winners' products up-close and personal, and demo the latest and greatest products in the industry today.
Wednesday, June 8
The first full day at ESX 2016 in Fort Worth, Texas, began with a thought-provoking OpenXchange Breakfast discussion led by ESX Chairman George De Marco, featuring panelists Nate Williams, chief revenue officer for August, and Tim Colleran, director of Business Development for Qualcomm.
De Marco started things off right with some fun by announcing a special guest—Amazon Echo's Alexa, who was given a seat on the panel to join the discussion. After some uncharacteristically witty banter from Alexa, it became apparent that it was not Alexa at all, but rather De Marco's daughter, Lauren, who with the help of her father provided some levity before some serious discussions on identifying disruptive technologies and emerging trends in the industry today.
De Marco started the discussion by saying, "Every aspect of your business is about to change," which as the day went on, emerged as a major theme for the show, as it reflects the pivotal time in the industry right now, especially on the residential side.
Williams pointed out that the industry needs to pay attention to the success of Amazon's Alexa, which he pointed out is in 4.5 million homes, as "voice is the next big thing, and you will see an explosion in the next five years," he said. "Voice control is just more natural and people want that today."
"The big challenge," he continued, "is integrating and bridging products in the home. Over time, we have to be able to show how devices work in concert, which is already starting to happen."
After the OpenXchange breakfast, I sat in on a spirited session, "Go Big or Go Home? Expanding & Extending into New Markets," which was moderated by Greg Simmons, co-owner/VP of Eagle Sentry, and included a great panel featuring Jeremy Bates, general manager and co-owner of Bates Security/Sonitrol of Lexington, Inc., Barry Epstein, president of Vertex Capital and Tom Kerber, director, Research, Home Controls & Energy for Parks Associates.
The panel was well balanced, with Kerber handling the research side of things, Epstein looking at acquisitions and Bates providing a dealer's perspective.
Kerber pointed out to the packed session of interested dealers that today "a majority of security subscribers—more than 50 percent—have interactive services," he said. "RMR growth, for the most part, has been driven by this increase in interactive services adoption. And security is the leading channel to the smart home," providing an opportunity for dealers to increase RMR by being able to provide these options for their customers.
Bates pointed out that with so many smart home and interactive products and new opportunities, "dealers need to be careful what they chase and stay focused on their business model" as they look to possibly expand or grow into new markets or geographical areas.
For dealers who are trying to navigate the acquisition landscape, Epstein noted that there are certain criteria that must be met before a dealer decides to buy another company. The first thing to ask is "do they have good, solid contracts?" he said, "Because if they don't have contracts, tell them to call you back when they have contracts."
Prior to the trade show floor opening, the Opening Keynote Luncheon featured world-renowned business futurist and innovation thought leader Nicholas Webb, author of Innovation Playbook and The Digital Innovation Playbook, who raised some important questions to ponder in this new smart-home driven world we are now living.
Webb pointed out that there are a lot of hackers, so to speak, who will try to disrupt the industry by providing innovative technology or services that consumers today want, and provided examples of what Uber did to the taxi industry and what the WAZE app did to GPS devices like Garmin.
His take-home message to a packed house: "You either become a hacker—a disruptive innovator—or you get hacked by a disruptive innovator."
Note: Please check back here and at SSN Editor Martha Entwistle's blog page for updates from the show.
The Central Station Alarm Association name is on its way out. At the CSAA general membership meeting here at the ESX show here in Fort Worth, Texas, members voted to change the name to The Monitoring Association. Here's a story that Spencer wrote about the name change a couple weeks ago.
Jay Hauhn, CSAA executive director, told me that 90 percent of those voting were in favor of changing the name to The Monitoring Association, "and the other 10 percent wanted to change the name, the only discussion was about what exactly the new name should be."
The new name signals a change in direction for the association, and is among a list of improvements and updates that Hauhn and CSAA president Pam Petrow have outlined over the past year or so.
Hauhn said the new name better reflects what professional monitoring companies do. "Central Station Alarm Association is an old school term that was driven by UL standards," he said.
Today's monitoring companies are monitoring "things that are mobile, people, and more. It's not just the monitoring of fixed assets anymore," Hauhn said.
Petrow said that there are some research and registration tasks that the association will have to complete before the name change is official.
The theme that emerged was how "new players" such as Qualcomm and August can help foster innovation in the security industry by collaborating with traditional security companies—manufacturers and installers.
Nate Williams said there are two reasons customers want a smart home: "to save money or for more security." However, the smarthome devices must make the homeowners life better. "No one wants to be CTO of their home," August said.
Tim Colleran predicted that voice will be "the next big thing in smart home," but, he cautioned that devices need a smart filter for anything that's' being stored in the cloud. He talked about smart home features helping raise the historic 20-percent penetration rate of residential security systems, but it's important for security companies to pay attention to demographic data. A smart home consumer in rural Colorado and the smart home consumer in Los Angeles have vastly different reasons for investing in a smart home, he said.
On the show floor later in the afternoon, I spoke to many of the exhibiting companies including Axis Communications, where I had a chance to catch up with Jennifer Bruce, who's in charge of business develeopment for Axis cloud solutions. Bruce has agreed to be an advisor for Cloud+ and I'm looking forward to working with her on the 2016 educational program.
Day 1
Security Systems News editors have just arrived in Fort Worth to attend ESX 2016.
I'm looking forward to many of the "main stage events" and the exhibit hall, and I'm planning to check out a couple of educational sessions tomorrow including one on cloud technology. It's called "Making Sense of Cloud" and it's at 10 a.m. in room 202A. I'm doing some research as I plan the educational program for Cloud +. What's Cloud+? Here's a link to the website and here's a link to a story about Cloud+.
Even though it's at the same time, I'm also going to check out the "Risky Business" session, which will address what SMBs need to do to survive a cyberbreach. It's 10 a.m., next door in room 202B.
And, as I was winging my way out here today, I read an interesting story in the Atlanta Business Chronicle (from Monday) about AT&T expanding its 5G lab trial to Atlanta. According to the story AT&T's trial is already happening in Austin, Texas. In addition to Atlanta, the trial will also be expanded to Middletown, N.J. and San Ramon, Calif.
This shoud come as a reality check to security companies out there still dealing with 2G sunset. Here's a link to the story.
Doyle Security Systems acquired Albany Protective Services yesterday, adding 1,100 accounts to the company, almost doubling Doyle's presence in the Albany area.
"It gives us a great expansion in our Albany market—just a much stronger presence," John Doyle Jr., company president and CEO, told Security Systems News. Prior to the acquisition, the company had about 1,400 accounts in that area.
Doyle has been working on the deal for about 6 months. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Albany Protective's account base is mostly commercial, Doyle said. "Their split is about 70 percent commercial and 30 percent residential."
APS had operated its own UL central station, but Doyle is transferring the accounts to its monitoring center in the Rochester, N.Y., area. "They were on the same software platform as we were, which was really helpful—for both their monitoring and their billing," Doyle said, both companies used Bold Manitou for automation and Sedona for billing. "It's been a very smooth process. It's not 100 percent done, but its pretty close."
Four employees from Albany Protective Services are joining Doyle. Former president and majority owner of APS, Mark Foster, is joining Doyle's Albany office in a management position, the company announced. Ross Foster, who was part owner of APS, will work in Doyle's sales, and two service technicians are joining the team from APS.
"Mark Foster—he just has tremendous knowledge about the industry and his customer base. Bringing him on board was very important to us, and likewise with his brother Ross. … Having them on our team is just a huge plus for us," Doyle said.
The company now has about 27,000 accounts. Doyle said that it is not every day you see two multi-generational family businesses joining forces. APS, a third-generation family business, was founded in 1935, and Doyle is a fourth-generation business, founded in 1919.

Original title: Roma, città aperta
Director: Roberto Rossellini
Cast: Anna Magnani, Aldo fabrizi
Italy 1945 | Black and White | 103 mins
Avaliable on: DCP
A landmark of Italian neorealism often cited as one of the greatest films ever made, Rossellini's portrait of life under the Nazi Occupation remains remarkable for its sheer immediacy, tension and power.
Made in extraordinarily straitened circumstances immediately after the liberation of Rome, the film follows engineer Giorgio (Marcello Pagliero) in his attempts to evade the Germans and the collaborating Italian authorities by seeking help from Pina (Anna Magnani), fiancée of a fellow member of the underground resistance, and Don Pietro (Aldo Fabrizi), the priest due to oversee her marriage. Giorgio is confident he'd never betray his comrades even if caught – but not everyone can be so strong… Basing their story partly on real people and events, Rossellini and co-writers Sergio Amidei and Federico Fellini brought a vivid authenticity to their depiction of daily lives dominated by poverty, desperation and constant fear of betrayal and violence. Shot both on the ravaged streets and in the studio (most memorably for the painfully frank second half set largely at Gestapo headquarters), the film seamlessly blends sequences reminiscent of documentary with more conventional dramatic scenes notable for their pace, precise staging and affectingly naturalistic performances. Its emotional punch remains undiminished.

European Commission - Press release
Crime does not pay: cracking down on criminal profits
Brussels, 12 March 2012 – Every year in Europe, hundreds of billions of euro go straight into the pockets of criminal gangs and the mafia. Despite efforts by law enforcement around Europe, much of the illegal profits remain in the hands of criminals. This makes criminal groups stronger and robs European citizens of tax money which could be invested in health care or schools.
Today the Commission proposed new rules for more effective and widespread confiscation of funds and other property acquired through crime. This will enhance the ability of Member States to confiscate assets that have been transferred to third parties, it will make it easier to confiscate criminal assets even when the suspect has fled and will ensure that competent authorities can temporarily freeze assets that risk disappearing if no action is taken.
"We need to hit criminals where it hurts, by going after the money, and we have to get their profits back in to the legal economy, especially in these times of crisis. Law enforcement and judicial authorities must have better tools to follow the money trail. They also need greater means with which to recover a more significant proportion of criminal assets," said Cecilia Malmström, Commissioner for Home Affairs.
At present, the amounts recovered from organised crime are modest if compared to the huge revenues generated by illegal activities such as drug trafficking, counterfeiting, human trafficking and small arms smuggling.
According to UN estimates, the total amount of criminal proceeds generated in 2009 may have been approximately $2.1 trillion, or 3.6 per cent of global GDP in that year. While most of this dirty money is laundered and reinvested into the legal economy, currently less than 1% of the proceeds of crime are frozen and confiscated.
In the EU the profits derived from organised crime are substantial. For example, EU sales of illicit drugs generate an estimated €100 billion per year.
In Italy the proceeds of organised crime are estimated at €150 billion yearly. In 2009, the Italian authorities temporarily froze criminal assets worth around € 800 million.
In the United Kingdom in 2006 organised criminal revenue was estimated at £15 billion. In the same year, £125 million were recovered by the state.
In Germany in 2009, €113 million were seized from organised crime. This sounds impressive, but is less so when you consider that the estimated profit that went to the criminals in these cases amounts to some € 903 million.
Boosting confiscation – protecting the economy
The proceeds of organised criminal groups are increasingly invested outside their home country, often in several Member States, or transferred to third parties (often relatives or 'front men') in order to avoid confiscation. Houses, cars, restaurants, small businesses and company shares are only few examples of how illicit profits can be reinvested into legal assets or activities.
Facilitating asset confiscation will hamper criminal activities and deter criminality by showing that crime does not pay. It will also protect our economy against criminal infiltration and corruption. Recovering more assets in favour of the State will have a significant impact on victims of crime, taxpayers and society as a whole. Once confiscated, the proceeds of crime may also be re-used for social purposes, or to provide funds to be re-invested into law enforcement or crime prevention initiatives.
Today's proposal will simplify existing rules and fill important gaps which are exploited by organised crime. It will:
On 22 November 2010 the Commission adopted an 'EU Internal Security Strategy in Action' (IP/10/1535 and MEMO/10/598). Confiscation has been given strategic priority within the EU as a way of fighting organised crime.
Today's proposal on confiscation is part of a series of measures that seek to protect the legal economy from criminal infiltration, linked to the EU 2020 Strategy and Growth agenda. These include the EU Anti-Corruption Package (IP/11/678 and MEMO/11/376) and the Commission Anti-Fraud Strategy.
