WALESKA, Ga. - Union College forward Deante Johnson (Cincinnati, Ohio) scored a game-high 25 points, but it wasn't enough, as Reinhardt (Ga.) used a late second half rally to defeat the Bulldogs, 100-92 in Appalachian Athletic Conference action on Thursday night.
With the loss, UC fell to 7-7 overall on the year, 1-2 in the AAC, while Reinhardt moved to 6-6, 3-0 in the AAC with the victory.
"Obviously, the difference was the turnover and free throw margins," said head coach Kevin Burton. "But, despite those problems, I was encouraged with our performance. We competed hard in a tough environment, on the road. We made some strides forward even though we came up short tonight."
In the first half, Union opened up a lead in the game's outset, jumping out to a 18-10 lead at the 14 minute mark after Johnson nailed a free throw. Over the next couple of minutes, Reinhardt fought back, and tied the game up at 22-22 with 10:58 left after a 12-4 run.
From there in the first half, it was a back-and-forth affair, with game being tied three more times throughout the next 10 minutes. Union, however, scored the final four points of the period, capped off by a Matthew Thomas (Bronx, N.Y.) jumper with 31 seconds left that gave the Bulldogs a slim 40-38 lead going into intermission.
To start the second half, Reinhardt tied the game right back up at 40-all 21 seconds into the period. A few minutes later, with the game tied at 50-50, UC went on a run, opening up their biggest lead since early in the first half with 13:46 left (60-53) after a Josh Smith (Corbin, Ky.) jumper.
After Reinhardt went on a small run to get the lead down to a point (60-59) over the next minute and a half, Union came right back, opening the lead up to 69-61 with 10:50 left after a Tarik Smith (Tempe, Ariz.) three-pointer. With 9:31 left, UC continued to hold a lead (71-64) after a Johnson jumper, but this was the point in the game where Reinhardt began their comeback, quickly tying the game up for the ninth time at 71-all with 8:25 left.
For the next couple of minutes the lead swung back and forth, eventually leading to it being tied for the 12th time on the night with 5:46 left (76-76). Here, Johnson made a free throw to give UC a 77-76 advantage.
After Reinhardt made a bucket seconds after UC took the lead to go up 78-77, the Eagles never gave up the lead the rest of the way. With 2:38 left, Union cut the lead down to a point (85-84) after Thomas made one-of-two free throws, but Reinhardt scored on their next trip down the floor to go up three (87-84) and forced a turnover on UC's next trip down the floor.
From there, Reinhardt salted the game away at the free throw line, pulling away from the Bulldogs to record an eight-point home conference win.
Overall, Johnson led the way for Union in his first official action on the 2012-13 season for the Bulldogs, getting to 25 points on 10-of-13 shooting from the floor on the night. He also snatched 13 rebounds to record a double-double.
Johnson led four double-digit scorers on the night for UC, as Tarik Smith added 19 points, Thomas had 17, and Tyler Wagner (Corbin, Ky.) and Josh Smith had 10 points, apiece.
For Reinhardt, Quinton Wood led the way, scoring 21 points.
The Bulldogs return to action on Saturday, hosting Montreat (N.C.) in another AAC contest at Robsion Arena. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m.

Winter's cold grip on the area is most likely far from over and some area farmers are already seeing an impact.
Tom Burch, owner of Hidden Hills Orchard, 5680 State Route 26, said that while the snow hasn't really been impacting the apple trees, others have been affected.
"It's usually the peaches and sweet cherry trees," he said. "They've seen some damage."
Burch said some branches had been cut off of the peach trees so he could get a better look at the damage to the buds. A lot of the buds, once cut open, are brown in the middle, which means they've been hurt by the cold weather.
"We don't know the extent of it yet, but it certainly got cold enough to damage some of the buds," he said. "We recorded about minus 15 (degrees) here and that's cold enough to have significant damage."
Burch added that "minus 18 is about 90 percent bud kill," which is nearly what the temperature was a few weeks ago.
Burch's wife, Cathy, said that mid-April would tell the tale of total damage to the 150 peach trees at the orchard, which is when the blossoms should begin to bloom.
"Peaches are more of a hobby," Burch said, adding that he wasn't counting on the peach crop; the most important is the apples, which aren't affected by the cold snap.
Mona Barrett, owner of Sweetapple Farm in Vincent, said her apple trees won't be prepared until the spring for the upcoming growing season.
Burch added that apple trees are dormant this time of year, meaning they are storing up energy for later in the year when they'll bloom and make apples.
Despite the dormancy seen in the apple trees, Burch said the trees could be affected by the cold through pruning, which is often done around this time of year.
"They can get pruning wounds," he said. "The cold can seep in (after pruning) and possibly kill the tree. We started pruning and then suspended it (because of the cold)."
Barrett said some local growers might be facing some challenges with this winter's snowfall.
"This is a winter like we used to have in the '90s and '70s," she said. "The snow staying on the ground and fields for a long period of time...for right now, it's difficult for farmers to get out."
Barrett added that the snow would be good for winter wheat, but might be damaging to the blackberries raised at Sweetapple.
"It will be interesting to see if there is any damage there," she said.
Levi Morrow, agriculture and natural resources program director for the Ohio State Extension office, said that most crops wouldn't be affected by the cold because of dormancy. Those most likely to experience an effect are grasses and the fruit-bearing trees.
"For the fruit trees, we have to wait and see this spring what it's going to be like," he said.
Tom Witten, chief grower at Witten Farm Market and Greenhouse said the Lowell-based farm market didn't have to worry about the snowy cold snap.
"We don't really have anything growing," he said. "Our strawberries are dormant right now, but the snow adds a layer of insulation."
Morrow said the snow forms a barrier, ensuring the ground won't freeze as hard as it might have.
Witten said deep freezes during winter can be a good thing.
"Deep freezes get rid of some of the bugs and grubs in the ground," he said. "A harsh winter will beat them back."
Witten said that makes for a better growing season.
This year's growing season might get off to a slower start than previous years, said Morrow.
"It might stay cooler later," he said. "(The weather) won't let the fruit trees come out and bloom, so they'll have a later bloom...It seems like winter is sticking around."
Morrow added that a late freeze isn't totally out of the question.
"It certainly is a possibility, as in any year," he said, but added, "I just see at least a later start to the growing season than average."
Witten said they are a little behind on work around the farm because of the cold and snow.
"We're behind on our work, doing tillage," he said. "We usually plow this time of year to turn the old stuff over. It's not an emergency yet."
He added that work in the greenhouse had been pushed back a week or two to conserve money on the gas bill.
A bit of spring will be seen, inside at least, as planting will soon be getting under way in the greenhouse, starting with cabbage planting today and planting hanging baskets next week.
"It's exciting to get fresh baby plants in the middle of arctic weather," Witten said, adding, "We're real excited to get some seeds in the ground and get some stuff growing."

A hero's home
Ground broken on future smart home for veteran
March 16, 2013
I am literally fighting back tears to write this. When I read about PFC Hockenberry almost 3 years ago I sent him a thank you card, but what is a card? So I have prayed for him by name night and day for the past 3 years and this house is an answer to my prayers. I hope he and his wife and family will live there happily for as long as they desire and that their lives will be filled with peace. I cannot thank our service men and women enough for their sacrifices. Freedom isn't free. Thank you to all those who have sacrificed so much. Thank you, Kyle!

PHOENIX -- The stats were not particularly kind to A's right-hander A.J. Griffin during a 6-5 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Monday.
He was off to a good start with four shutout innings but was dinged for three runs in the fifth and was knocked out of the game in the sixth when two more runs scored.
That pushed his ERA up to 5.23, but manager Bob Melvin and Griffin seemed reasonably pleased with his day. They addressed expectations for the season, including possibly 30 starts and 200 innings for Griffin, who at this time last year was in minor league camp.
Griffin didn't come up until June 24, when he made his debut against the Giants. He made 15 starts, going 7-1 with a 3.06 ERA in 821/3 innings. Including Double-A and Triple-A, he pitched 1841/3 innings.
Is 200 innings possible for Griffin?
"Oh, yeah," he said. "I feel real good. I feel I could go 200 or more innings."
Melvin, looking at Griffin's muscular body, easy throwing motion and tendency to throw strikes, said 30 starts and 200 innings could become Griffin's norm.
"We think he's capable of that," Melvin said. "It seems like he doesn't throw a lot of pitches, and he's not a power pitcher where he could wear down. His pitches have late, subtle movement, and with his 60 mph curve, he has the ability to speed (the batter) up or down."
But he was happy to get through Monday's Triple-A game against the Milwaukee Brewers because it was his first game since needing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.
He started, threw an inning and came out of the game feeling no pain in the knee. He gave up two runs during his 17-pitch effort.
"It was kind of what I expected," Balfour said. "The good thing is I'm not feeling anything in my knee."
The A's are planning for their closer to pitch in five games, including at least one back-to-back effort, to make sure he is ready for the season opener April 1.
"He loves to do that," Melvin said. "And we've got a little bit of (wall) area in left-center that's double padded where he likes to do that."
Beginning Thursday, the A's rotation will be Brett Anderson, Jarrod Parker, Tommy Milone, Griffin and Dan Straily.

2011, 60 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Architecture/Design, Documentary
Saturday, September 7 @ 4:30 pm
Colorado Premiere
Utopia London tells the story of the Modernist architects who rebuilt London after World War II and revolutionized urban life in the wake of war and the poor living conditions from the Industrial Revolution. Utopia London travels through the recent history of the city where the filmmaker grew up. He finds the architects who designed it and reunites them with the buildings they created. These young idealists were once united by a vision of using science and art to create a city of equal citizens. Utopia London examines the social and political agendas of the time in which the city was rebuilt. The story also explores how the meaning of these transformative buildings has been radically manipulated over subsequent decades. Inspired by the optimism of the past, the question is now: where do we go from here and how?Post-screening Q&A with University of Colorado-Denver Architecture School faculty.

A loyal dog died last week after he was hit by a train in Kazakhstan while dragging his suicidal owner off the tracks to safety.
According to the news site Info-Tses (via RIA Novosti), the canine's owner told local authorities in Karaganda he sought to kill himself by drinking a bottle of vodka and passing out on the train tracks.
"Upon seeing the train, the dog started pulling its owner away," said investigator Aida Muldasheva. "When train drivers saw the dog on the rail tracks, they used the emergency brake."
Sadly, they were too late: The dog was struck and died on the spot.
The owner was rushed to the hospital where he was treated for a number of injuries and broken bones.

According to VLC the codec format is 'BD Subtitles (bdpg)' and mkvinfo gave me the following:
- Code: Select all
| + A track
| + Track number: 4
| + Track UID: 4230556092
| + Track type: subtitles
| + Lacing flag: 0
| + Codec ID: S_HDMV/PGS
| + Content encodings
| + Content encoding
| + Content compression
When the video is playing, you see a weird multicolored flash of text that stretches across the center of the screen whenever a subtitle should pop up. It lasts about a second and then goes away. Randomly I do see the subtitles at the bottom of the video, but it's cut off and you can only see the tops of the letters. I've tried all combinations of the subtitles settings and I can't seem to get it to work. Any suggestions?

ML Rooibos Renewal Herbal Tea Tin
ML Rooibos Renewal herbal tea is made from mineral-rich African rooibos leaves that mingle with vitamin C-rich orange peels for a calming, nurturing cup culminating in a mélange of citrus and honey tones.
3.5 oz loose tea in tin

Fruity with honey tones
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
Hot and iced tea brewing instructions are listed below.
Hot Tea ::
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil or to 205 F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Prepare Mighty Leaf teas using a teapot, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Use one rounded tablespoon of loose herbs and fruit per 12 ounces or cup of water.
Infusion Time
Pour boiling water over tea leaves. Keep teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 5 - 7 minutes.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
Iced Tea ::
A stronger brew is required for iced tea than for hot tea because of ice's dilution action. Prepare a tea concetrate as follows:
Single Serving
For a single serving, prepare as for hot tea, use one rounded tablespoon of loose tea per 12 ounces of water and after brewing pour over ice.
Large Serving
1. For a larger serving, prepare a iced tea concentrate by bringing one quart of cold water to a rolling boil in a tea kettle.
2. Remove from heat and add 8-10 teaspoons per quart of brewed tea.
3. Steep 5 - 7 minutes or to desired strength.
4. To serve immediately, pour over ice in a tall glass, or add another quart of cold water to the concentrate and chill in refrigerator.
South Africa
Health Benefits
Research has shown Rooibos contains an unusually high amount of antioxidant flavonoids similar to that in Green Tea. These flavonoids are thought to prove effective in combating harmful free radicals which can cause cancer, heart disease and strokes. Some unconfirmed studies have determined that antioxidant levels in Rooibos are 50 times higher than those in Green Tea. Naturally caffeine free and rich in Vitamin C, Rooibos also possesses other medicinal properties including the ability to lessen the bodys reaction to allergies and calm upset stomachs.

Did you know?
Famous South African artist Walter Battiss was born in the Eastern Cape town of Somerset East.
The Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum, formerly known as the King George VI Gallery, has a wonderful collection of South African art, particularly art from the Eastern Cape.
The limited exhibition space means that there is a constant rotation of art works from the museum's large permanent collection. This ensures there is always something new to see at the gallery. Its dynamic programme of temporary exhibitions adds to the variety.
The permanent collection is mainly retrospective. The museum, however, features art from across the historical spectrum at its temporary exhibitions. Highlights from the permanent collection include international graphics and British and Oriental art. You can see works by renowned artists such as Henry Moore, David Hockney, Marc Chagall, Honore Daumier and Rembrandt van Rijn. The Orient is represented by a selection of Indian miniatures, Japanese wood-block prints and Chinese items from the Qing dynasty.
This art gallery in Port Elizabeth has also been collecting art works by prominent South African artists for over 50 years, including beadwork, township art and other African art. Some of the gallery's recent contemporary acquisitions include works by some of South Africa's top contemporary artists, like Berni Searle, Conrad Botes, Diane Victor and Nicholas Hlobo.
Of particular interest is the museum's collection of art of, and from, the beautiful Eastern Cape, making this a fantastic place to visit if you would like to learn and see more of the artistic history of the city and the province. Some famous Eastern Cape artists include Walter Battiss and George Milwa Mnyaluza Pemba, and the province is also home to art projects like the award-winning Keiskamma Art Project.
The gallery has now been incorporated into the Arts Precinct of Nelson Mandela Bay, where you can stroll to many arts venues, including Route 67, Athenauem, the Ron Belling art gallery and artEC.

Let's say you have lots of segments to erase. If you go one by one it takes time (sometime you miss them too if you dont click at the right point) but if you could hold the click and move to the segments you want to "clean" it would be a lot faster.

In the midst of 30 Rock's non-stop bashing of Boston, the crew revolted against Liz Lemon and NBC management's decision-making (ha!). So Liz, genius that she is, thinks of a solution that Jeff Zucker wishes he thought of first.
When there's a mutiny, invent a scapegoat! It's so brilliant in its simplicity. If Jeff Zucker just said it was all some guy named Joeyjojo Junior Shabadoo's fault, then he wouldn't have to have all the blame fall on him. And everyone can hate Joeyjojo while Zucker can simply watch NBC's empire crumble instead of watching it crumble AND taking the blame for it. Maybe the writers of 30 Rock should be running NBC?

How Did My PC Get Infected with HuntBar.Stoolbar?
One of the most common questions found when cleaning HuntBar.Stoolbar is "how did my machine get infected"? There are a variety of reasons, but the most common ones are that you are going to sites that you are not practicing Safe Internet, you are not running the proper security software, and that your pc's security settings are set too low.
Practice Safe Internet
One of the main reasons people get HuntBar.Stoolbar in the first place is that they are not practicing Safe Internet. You practice Safe Internet when you educate yourself on how to use properly the Internet using security tools and good practice. Whether these things are files or sites it doesn't really matter. If something is out to get you, and you click on it, it most likely will.
Below are a list of simple precautions to take to keep your PC clean and running securely:
If you receive an attachment from someone you do not know, DO NOT OPEN IT!It may be HuntBar.Stoolbar. Opening attachments from people you do not know is a very common method for viruses or worms to infect your computer.
If you have an attachment and it ends with a .exe, .com, .bat, or .pif DO NOT OPEN the attachment unless you know for a fact that it is clean.For the casual PC user, you will almost never receive a valid attachment of this type.
If you acquire an attachment from someone you know, and it looks suspicious, then it probably is.The email could be from someone you know infected with HuntBar.Stoolbar that is trying to infect everyone in their address book.
If you are browsing the Internet and a popup appears saying that you are infected, ignore it! DO NOT INSTALL any software that will require to download.
Another tactic to get HuntBar.Stoolbar on the web is when a site displays a popup that looks like a normal Windows message or alert. When you click on them, though, they instead bring you to another site that is trying to push a product on you.
Do not go to adult sites.The fact is that a large amount of adware (including HuntBar.Stoolbar) is pushed through these types of sites.
When using an Instant Messaging program be cautious about clicking on links people send to you. It is not uncommon for infections to send a message to everyone in the infected person's contact list that contains a link to an infection (it may be HuntBar.Stoolbar too). Instead when you receive a message that contains a link, message back to the person asking if it is legit before you click on it.
Stay away from Warez and Crack sites! In addition to the obvious copyright issues, the downloads from these sites are typically overrun with infections and HuntBar.Stoolbar is not exception.
Be careful of what you download off web sites and Peer-2-Peer networks. Some sites disguise adware as legitimate software to trick you into installing them and Peer-2-Peer networks are crawling with it. If you want to download a piece of software a from a site, and are not sure if they are legitimate, you can use McAfee Siteadvisor to look up info on the site.
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently
It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your PC has always the latest security updates available installed on your pc.If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, then reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates. This also protect your PC from HuntBar.Stoolbar.
Symptoms of Infection
Symptoms of HuntBar.Stoolbar
If you suspect or confirm that your PC is infected with HuntBar.Stoolbar, obtain the current antivirus software.The following are some primary indicators that a computer may be infected:
- The PC runs slower than usual.
- The computer stops responding, or it locks up frequently.
- The computer crashes, and then it restarts every few minutes, it may be symptom of HuntBar.Stoolbar.
- The computer restarts on its own.

- You see unusual error messages.
- You see distorted menus and dialog boxes.
- There is a double extension on an attachment that you recently opened, such as a .jpg, .vbs, .gif, or .exe. extension, it's may be HuntBar.Stoolbar.
- An antivirus program is disabled for no reason. Additionally, the antivirus program cannot be restarted.
- An antivirus program cannot be installed on the computer, or the antivirus program will not run.
- New icons appear on the desktop that you did not put there, or the icons are not associated with any recently installed programs.
- Strange sounds or music plays from the speakers unexpectedly.
- A program disappears from the computer even though you did not intentionally remove the program.
Note These are common signs of infection by HuntBar.Stoolbar. However, these signs may also be caused by hardware or software problems that have nothing to do with a PC virus.
Symptoms of HuntBar.Stoolbar in e-mail messages
When a computer adware infects e-mail messages or infects other files on a computer, you may notice the following symptoms:
- The infected file may make copies of itself. This behavior may use up all the free space on the hard disk.
- A copy of the infected file may be sent to all the addresses in an e-mail address list.
- The HuntBar.Stoolbar virus may reformat the hard disk.
- This behavior will delete files and programs.
- The HuntBar.Stoolbar may install hidden programs, such as pirated software.
- This pirated software may then be distributed and sold from the pc.
- The HuntBar.Stoolbar may reduce security.
- This could enable intruders to access remotely the PC or the network.
- You receive an e-mail message that has a strange attachment. When you open the attachment, dialog boxes appear, or a sudden degradation in system performance occurs.
- Someone tells you that they have recently received e-mail messages from you that contained attached files that you did not send. The files that are attached to the e-mail messages have extensions such as .exe, .bat, .scr, and .vbs extensions.
What HuntBar.Stoolbar may do?
Below are possibilities you may experience when you are infected with HuntBar.Stoolbar. Remember that you also may be experiencing any of the below issues and not have a virus.
- HuntBar.Stoolbar may remove files.
- Various messages in files or on programs.
- Changes volume label.
- Marks clusters as bad in the FAT.

How to protect yourself in the future?
In order to protect yourself from HuntBar.Stoolbar and this not happening again it is important that take proper care and precautions when using your computer.Make sure you have updated ExterminateIt running, all the latest updates to your operating system, a firewall, and only open attachments or click on popups that you know are safe. These precautions can be a tutorial unto itself, and luckily, we have one created already:
Simple and easy ways to keep your computer safe and secure on the Internet.
Make your Internet Explorer 6 and below more secure.From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
- Click once on the Security tab.
- Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
- Click once on the Custom Level button.
- Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt.
- Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable.
- Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable.
- Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt.
- Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt.
- Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt.
- When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
- If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, click on Yes button.
- Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
It is very important that your PC has an anti-virus software running on your machine (you could free download ExterminateIt).This alone can save you a lot of trouble with adware in the future.
We can't stress strongly enough how important it is for you to do five things for every PC you own:Secure your e-mail client against running unwanted scripts. If you use Outlook or Outlook Express and have not secured them.
Scan your computers by ExterminateIt at least weekly to make sure they aren't harboring viruses or worms.
Keep your ExterminateIt software up-to-date. AntiVirus software vendors update their virus lists on a regular basis.Make sure you visit your vendor's Web site at least once a week to download the update.
Avoid running attachments (especially .EXE files) that come in your e-mail it may be HuntBar.Stoolbar, even if they come from your friends, relatives or colleagues. The warped minds now writing e-mail viruses will do their best to lure you into running their viruses and worms by making them look like love letters, jokes or pornography. Once you or one of your friend succumbs to this temptation, the script will mail itself to everyone on that computer's address list.
Make frequent backups of your data files, and keep some of your backups out of your pc.We like to burn CD-R backup discs on a regular schedule; CD-RW and Zip discs also work well.

It wasn't long ago that cloud storage companies such as Box and Dropbox were among the hottest startups in Silicon Valley, blessed with vast amounts of venture capital and poised to go public in blockbuster IPOs.
But now, thanks to a price war launched by Google, Amazon and other tech giants, almost anyone with a laptop or tablet can get cloud storage for less than the price of a latte.
That means Box and Dropbox, which sell software for businesses and consumers to store and use files on the Internet rather than a machine, are confronting a precarious future: They must figure out how to go head-to-head with the world's most powerful tech companies. The jockeying has forced both startups to rethink their plans to go public -- Box filed for an IPO in March, but has delayed trading, and Dropbox, once poised to be one of the biggest tech IPOs of the year, may not have a public offering in its immediate future.
"Right now there is a huge arms race between Apple, Google, Microsoft, and now Amazon has thrown their hat in the ring," said Vineet Jain, co-founder and CEO of Egnyte, a Mountain View company that sells software that allows companies to store data both in the cloud and on premise. "These four guys are capable of making it free or nearly free, and the price points that you're seeing from these vendors such as Box will have to come down, or they will have a shrinking user base. You cannot out-compete Microsoft and Google on price -- you just can't."
For Box and Dropbox -- and the investors who have poured millions of dollars into them -- there's a lot of money on the line. In 2013, cloud storage companies raised $1.2 billion from venture capitalists, compared to $427 million in 2010 and $185 million in 2009, according to the Dow Jones. Silicon Valley cloud storage companies accounted for 14 of the top 20 venture-backed deals, with Box leading with more than $350 million in funds raised; Dropbox raised $250 million.
Cloud storage services allow users to store computer files on the Web and not on a machine. As more consumers put their digital pictures, music files and documents in the cloud, and as businesses, motivated by cost savings, moved huge swaths of data to the cloud, the tech giants caught a whiff of a major business opportunity, too.
The price war started because companies such as Google are hoping to attract customers with cheap or free cloud storage, and then convince them to buy services to share, sort, encrypt and collaborate on files stored in the cloud. Last month, Microsoft began offering 50 GB of storage for free and cut monthly prices for 100 GB by about 70 percent to $1.99; in March, Google lowered the price of 100 GB to $1.99, down from $4.99 and announced this month it is offering 2 terabytes of free storage for a year through a partnership with Panzura, a Campbell-based cloud services company. Amazon this month rolled out 200 GB for $5 per month, and even Apple has lowered the cost of its storage platform iCloud.
"The problem is pricing on storage has just been collapsing," said Randy Chou, CEO and co-founder of Panzura, which sells hardware and software that allows businesses to collaborate on massive documents, and counts Electronic Arts and the U.S. Department of Justice among its customers. "Whatever anyone is paying today, they'll pay half next year, and half the year after that."
Box founder Aaron Levie said he saw the writing on the wall in 2007, just two years after launching the startup, which sells cloud storage and services to businesses: "We knew the cost of storage would decline or drop to zero," Levie said in an interview.
The monthly price of some cloud storage products from Panzura, for instance, is 0.12 percent of what it was just a few years ago. And for the last seven years, Los Altos-based Box has been working to become more than just a cloud storage company: It has built programs to help companies move big files securely in the cloud and make sure they get to the right person; it works with hospitals to encrypt medical files so the patient information can be stored and moved safely.
The price war initiated by Amazon, Google and Microsoft, Levie said, "are already things that we have anticipated in our strategy. That's the standard execute that any startup faces. There are always the incumbents."
Last week, Box announced it would give all businesses unlimited cloud storage.
Still, the company has struggled financially. Last year the company posted a $169 million loss, up from $109 million in 2012 and a $50 million loss in 2011. As of April, Box had accumulated a $400 million deficit. Giving away storage is simply easier for a company the size of Google or Amazon, experts say.
"The more mature companies have a lot of cash, and they do have the ability to wage these price wars," said Mark McCaffrey, a software expert at PricewaterhouseCoopers, a consulting and research firm. "But that doesn't mean the better technology won't win, and oftentimes these smaller companies have the better technology. It's a question of whether they can stand the test of time."
For Box, time is running short. Under the terms Box agreed to as part of a $150 million investment this month, the company must go public by July 2015 at a value of no less than $20 per share or it will be on the hook to pay penalties to investors. The company filed for an IPO in March, but has delayed going public for more than four months -- a month longer than tech companies on average take between filing and trading on a public market, according to research financial firm Ipreo -- and likely will continue waiting until its balance sheet and market conditions improve.
San Francisco-based Dropbox, a cloud storage service that uploads, stores and transfers files, and which has 300 million registered users, may need to clear even bigger hurdles before it can convince investors that it is IPO-ready, some analysts say. The company is more popular with consumers than businesses, and consumers generally don't want to pay for something they can get for free elsewhere. Much of Dropbox's revenue depends on users paying to upgrade the amount of cloud storage they get.
"Dropbox is more challenged," said Ezra Gottheil, principal analyst with Technology Business Research. The likely solution for the company is that "it could be acquired."
Dropbox declined to comment for this article.
Still, some experts say no winners -- or losers -- have been chosen in the cloud war. According to Technology Business Research, the cloud market is expected to reach $19.4 billion this year and exceed $36 billion in 2018. And Box isn't out of the game yet: its revenue is up from $58.8 million in 2012 to $124.2 million last year, and revenue for the first quarter this year is almost twice the same period a year ago. It is also continuing to grow its customers, with 39,000 paying businesses using Box, up from 34,000 in March.
"Google and Microsoft are not going to let this one alone and let Box beat them," Gottheil said. "But this is a battle of invention and design and creativity, and the big guys don't always win."

One of the most disturbing ideas I've encountered in intellectual property law is the peculiar idea of owning and being able to patent naturally occuring gene sequences, such as those in the Human Genome project. Even though we have been fortunate that most of that information is not under restrictive licensing conditions, that the laws allow such a thing is something I find bad enough. How can it be that this holy of holies, the fundamentally defining data that makes every cell in my body uniquely me, should be treated as property to be owned. And if it is owned, why is it not owned by me?
When talking about the idea of "free software" there are a number of ambiguities. The most popular topic is the distinction between zero-cost and providing freedom. But another ambiguity is who is given the freedom, the user, the developer, or the software itself? We aren't accustomed to assigning agent status to software, but what about when the "software" is a gene sequence, and the "compiler" is your mother's womb?
In our society, we argue for the idea of ownership of information, we permit the ownership of living beings, but we deny the ownership of people. Yet, the information that makes a person—his or her "source"—is something that can be bought and sold. Have we drawn the line in the right place?
What if someone comes into possession of your genome and uses that knowledge to create a clone of you? This is still on the edge of what is technically possible, but the pieces are all there: sequences can be used to generate DNA (achieving this on the chromosome scale is still not possible yet—but of course, the information could be in the form of an already extant genome: just one cell of your body is all that is needed); DNA can be used to create a viable zygote, and that zygote can be incubated to an embryo in vitro; the embryo can be implanted in a surrogate mother and brought to term. Maybe someday this will be refined: the sequence might be generated from digitally-coded sequence data, or the surrogate mother replaced by a completely artificial womb. But the key technology for reproducing a human being—even against their will—are available today.
What's more, it might well be legal. Certainly, it is permitted by the intellectual property laws. A medical establishment that removes any part of you has a right to exploit the genes they find there (and of course, a sample of the genes). And who will be the legal guardian of that newly created being? You? The experimenter? A corporation?
It might be argued that no one has abused this right so far, but what kind of defense is that?
It seems to me that it is a natural extension of the freedom of individuals that their genomes must also be free (or most naturally, perhaps, owned by them). Surely you ought to have a right to the data that makes up you, be it in your genes or in your memories.
Gene Piracy
We're going to get in to Monsanto vs Canadian Farmer territory. That's the case where some of Monsanto's patented seeds contaminated a farmer's fields and then they sued him for infringement.
Just wait: you'll be sued for gene patent infringement and then forced to prove that they're really your genes and that you didn't steal them. (And maybe even then you'll still be liable.) ;-)
Scott C.
Gene Patents
It is not the gene, as an entity in and of itself, that is patented. Rather, it is its functional characteristics or relative application of a particular version of the gene.
what is to be patented?
If it is the function of a gene that is patented, then what about a similar gene with the same functions? both have almost identical base sequences with the exception of a change in 1 or more codons in this similar gene, so that there would not be any change in the desired function of the gene. The two genes are different even though the function and application are the same.
Prior Art
Well, if the gene exists in you or in your parents then that should be considered prior art.
Absolutely, but...
Absolutely, but we better start saving our money now for the lawsuit (or appeals process or whatever) to get the patent thrown out.
Imagine the basketball player with "tall" genes. "We're sorry Mr. Smith, we understand you claim to have prior art on these genes, but we have this injunction against you to prevent you from playing until the matter has been settled in court..."
which is sophistry
That [edit: the argument that the patents apply to applications rather than the genes themselves] sounds like evasion to me. Patents have been awarded for "all applications resulting from" gene sequences, when the company doesn't even know what they have. That's the same as claiming the gene itself as property. You can dress it up with double-speak, but the meaning is the same.
Likewise, cell-lines (e.g. of cancer cells) become the property of research institution, completely ignoring the fact that they came from human beings. These are cases of treating discoveries as if they were inventions, and they furthermore ignore what might be thought of as the natural right of a person to own their own genome (just as you (should) own your own body).
This seems to me like an important principle of freedom.
IP and Patents are evil
I'm a big opponent to patenting or owning any (intellect) idea what so ever. In my belief; ideas are common human property. No one can or should claim ownership of an idea. In my openion the whole patent system is one of the evil products of greed and imperialism. Let alone patenting my genes.
IMO, freesoftware is the manifestation of the good human collaboration and the concept should be applied everywhere.
Mine and the clone's DNA are the same...
But if somebody creates a clone of me. Who does now own the DNA-information (which is for both of us the same), the clone or myself?
Some issues with your thinking.
1. You are the product of your tens of thousands of genes, the other genetic material that affects their expression, your past and present environment, and the choices you make and have made. Even if you were right about the ownership of a gene, that would not constitute ownership of you. An author can copyright his book as the expression of his ideas, but owns neither the individual words in the book, nor the ideas themselves.
2. As someone else wrote, if a gene already exists in nature there is no innovation its replication, and innovation is a condition for granting a patent. What might be new is discovering a new use for a gene, etc.
3. A patent is a special kind of ownership. It allows its holder to exclude others from the commercialization of the patented item. Someone patenting a novel use of a gene that happened to be part of your genome would not limit your body from expressing that gene in any way it would otherwise express it.
Patenting story ideas
Let's hope that story ideas don't become patentable, but things like this concern me. With the current "IP" climate, it wouldn't surprise me that much if the USPTO started allowing story idea patents. (More money for an even newer USPTO campus someday, I guess. But hey, at least they're self-supporting.)
Exploiting the masses to gain membership to the Exclusive Club.
But like all patents, they would prevent me from studying myself, coming up with the patent knowledge independently, and trying to commercialize it.
And don't talk about novel. What a joke that is in theory (and a much bigger joke in practice). If Einstein2 was just as capable of coming up with General Relativity, he should be allowed to commercialize it when s/he does (including keeping things zero cost).
Patents are an extension of the mentality of "to the victor go (all) the spoils." Or the mentality of First means everything, second and the rest mean the same: nothing. It is this extremism that makes it possible for a few to be ridiculously wealthy instead of simply better off.
I am waiting for this and other anti-society body of laws to be made a little more equitable, but this won't happen until there is greater competition by the majority of the population for top notch jobs, that is, for when the masses provide enough competition for the elite positions in society (or when they become clued in to what is going on).
Mothers should sue...
If a mother's womb is truly the compiler, and the prior art is the parents of the person whose genes are being analyzed and copywritten, then I think parents should start to sue. No one can argue that they have prior art for the genes that exist in my body, since by definition, they came into being when I came into being.

Hard to believe, but Valentine's Day is just around the corner and our guest rooms are filling up fast.
In 2002 Whispering Pines was voted by Arrington's Bed and Breakfast Journal the 'Best B&B for Kissing', and we have tried to keep up the tradition. When you arrive there will always be home made chocolate chip cookies in your room and a large selection of organic teas. Cozy up in front of the electric fireplace toasting with a bottle of wine. Have a quiet romantic dinner at any one of a number of outstanding restaurants in the area. Return to the Inn and relax in a warming 2-person whirlpool tub. Wow, it really doesn't get any better than this, except that we have added a special Valentine's Day package for you to enhance your romantic visit.
In honor of celebrating 20 years of celebrating Valentine's Day at Whispering Pines, we have created two amazing packages for your special celebration. You pay for the guest room and choose either package 1 or package 2. This is available for the entire month of February.
1) Reserve a relaxing and soothing massage for two for the price of one. Tax and gratuity not included.
2) Included at no extra charge, a romantic CD, chocolate champagne truffles, small plate of cheese and crackers, bottle of non-alcoholic wine and two wine glasses etched with Whispering Pines.
Every day at Whispering Pines is romantic for couples, but Valentine's Day is a special day during the year to celebrate your love.
Would love to hear your most memorable Valentine's Day celebration.
Hope to see you soon,
Whispering Pines Bed & Breakfast

SCOTLAND needs an independent university. The present sprinkling of ancient and modern institutions has diverse flavours and expertises but all are held captive by the Scottish Executive. Entities that ought to be proud of their autonomy and entirely free from bureaucratic interventions are entirely subservient to the government.
Universities are often described as "cathedrals of the intellect", where free minds explore the future and the past and unravel the mysteries of nature. Young students are excited by their freedom from family constraints and have their minds opened in intimate contact with scholars who are wise and generous with their time.
Universities are also sizeable businesses that cascade salaries in their localities. For every academic fighting in his footnotes, there are regiments of administrative staff, cooks, cleaners and gardeners.
Yet there is another, less kindly way of describing Scottish universities - as autocratic bureaucracies doing the bidding of the First Minister and his alternating prejudices. Academics mostly regard undergraduates as ignorant spotty youths barely worth teaching. Cordial tutorials are a myth. It is mostly utterly anonymous lectures by graduate students never taught how to address an audience. The students have three or four years to have some fun, and often succeed, but the notion of an institution of higher learning is a falsehood. It is mostly sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. I apologise for being truthful.
This is not to deny even the most humble college will have some dedicated student scientists trying to solve problems or devise new inventions. These are the rare pearls in monstrously flabby oysters.
The polite humbug enunciated by everyone is that three years at the University of Paisley or Abertay will produce thousands of young people better attuned in their life skills and better able to contribute to our greater welfare after the mysterious process we call "higher education". It is suggested they will invigorate Scotland's business life after wading through their shallows of media studies, sociology, Marxism, feminism or others isms or ologies.
In short, Scotland's universities pretend to be separate but are in fact merely different campuses of the single patron institution that pays all the money - the Scottish Executive. St Andrews may be a pretty rose-cottage place but it is performing the same job as the Caledonian University in its Glasgow sprawl.
I urge Scotland to nourish at least one university entirely independent of the state. The model to emulate is the University of Buckingham.
Where might such a gem be set? Perth seems to be obvious for any shortlist. Elgin is handsome but remote. Fraserburgh had a medieval university but it expired. Kelso looks a possibility. Perhaps Edinburgh as a metropolitan city with four present universities could be enhanced by a fifth. The contrast would be a jolt for everyone.
Buckingham's virtues are that it is run for its customers - its undergraduates. They are defined by their ambitions. They want to get on with the adventure of living and working. Instead of floundering about for the Scottish four-year "honours" degree, they get their degrees after two years of far more intensive full-time study. The very nature of that study is much more personalised than in the anonymous halls of Scotland's "jimmyversities". No class is ever bigger then ten students.
A Scotsman well able to head such a new institution as its chancellor is Professor Sir Alan Peacock who did lead Buckingham as its vice-chancellor. He is richly amusing in his stories of fellow vice-chancellors in thrall to ministerial and departmental whim and academic warfare.
Buckingham has minimal bureaucracy and, apart from its Royal Charter, no ties to the state.
I asked Terence Kealey, the present VC of Buckingham, if he thought Scotland could prosper with a truly independent college: "Good luck to it. It will be hard work but the competition will give them a shudder. A recent survey showed the two best universities in the UK are Buckingham and the Open University... the only two who charge realistic fees. The quicker Scotland follows Adam Smith's prescription and creates an independent university the quicker it will resume its placed as the centre of a new Enlightenment."
This is to argue Scotland's primary institutions of learning are strangled in their own dependence on one master. As businesses they would flourish as genuinely liberated entities. They would have to be customer-friendly instead of politician-friendly.
Although any university is a great cascade of expenditure to its host town, it seems true that Scots academics are falling down international league tables of earnings. They are effectively civil servants on civil servant grades - rather junior ones. I would envisage inspirational teachers or researchers (often different people) could command far higher salaries than the present blanket uniformity.
The ethos of every Scottish university is one of endless bureaucracy - not of teaching or learning.
We forget that university origins lay in supplying dutiful divines for the Kirk and obedient clerks for the Crown. Dutiful and obedient is what Scottish universities remain. Let us nurture defiance and diversity instead.
