WASHINGTON, April 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Venture capitalists invested $9.5 billion in 951 deals in the first quarter of 2014, according to the MoneyTree™ Report from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) and the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA), based on data provided by Thomson Reuters. Quarterly venture capital (VC) investment activity rose 12 percent in terms of dollars but fell 14 percent in the number of deals, compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 when $8.4 billion was invested in 1,112 deals.
Dollars invested in the Software industry experienced another significant increase in Q1 2014, capturing $4.0 billion and further distancing it by more than three times from the second largest industry, Biotechnology. The last time Software investments reached this level was in Q4 2000. Venture capital investments into Software companies accounted for 42 percent of total dollars and 44 percent of total deals in the first quarter. Five of the top 10 largest deals for the quarter were Software companies.
"Context is everything, and when you consider the context behind the numbers, you start to understand why there was a shift in the first quarter of 2014. Seed and early stage financing numbers are down from the previous quarter, but expansion stage dollars invested are up 34 percent. This was to be expected when you consider the domination by seed and early stage deals in 2012 and 2013," said Bobby Franklin, President and CEO of NVCA. "Because these companies are now moving to the next stage of their maturing process, the investment rounds tend to be bigger, which explains why the numbers are trending toward the later stages of the investment calendar. To be sure, the spring thaw of the exit markets is providing some firms with new life, but overall capital remains constrained for most venture capital firms."
"Investments into the Software sector continue to remain healthy as investors look for companies with disruptive technology that challenges the norm," remarked Mark McCaffrey, global software leader and technology partner at PwC. "These companies are attracting significant funding from venture capitalists and non-traditional investors alike as their business models continue to provide real value across all sectors and get access to global markets. Clearly, the heightened interest is driving healthy valuations which could meet with some volatility. However, barring any significant macroeconomic event, we expect a strong level of investing to continue as these models meet customer needs and deliver value to the stakeholders."
Industry Analysis
The Software industry received the highest level of funding of all industries, rising 39 percent from the prior quarter to $4.0 billion invested during the first quarter of 2014. The Software industry also counted the most deals in Q1 at 414, approximately the same level seen in the prior quarter when 409 rounds were completed.
The Biotechnology industry was the second largest sector for dollars invested with $1.1 billion going into 112 deals, falling 23 percent in dollars and 21 percent in deals from the prior quarter. The Medical Devices and Equipment industry also experienced a decline in volume, dropping 37 percent to 61 deals in Q1, while the dollars invested rose 28 percent to $588 million. Overall, investments in Q1 in the Life Sciences sector (Biotechnology and Medical Devices) fell 10 percent in dollars and 28 percent in deals when compared to Q4 2013.
The IT Services industry captured the third largest total in Q1 with $816 million flowing into 59 deals. This represented a 33 percent increase in dollars invested compared to the prior quarter and can be primarily attributed to the largest deal of the quarter, a $325 million investment, going to a company in the IT services industry.
Nine of the 17 MoneyTree industries experienced decreases in dollars invested in the first quarter, including Telecommunications (68 percent decrease), Networking & Equipment (47 percent decrease), and Semiconductors (17 percent decrease).
Venture capitalists invested $2.3 billion into 219 Internet-specific companies during the first quarter of 2014. This investment level is 5 percent lower in dollars and 20 percent lower in deals than the fourth quarter of 2013 when $2.4 billion went into 273 deals. Four of the top ten deals for the quarter were in the Internet-specific category. 'Internet-Specific' is a discrete classification assigned to a company with a business model that is fundamentally dependent on the Internet, regardless of the company's primary industry category.
Stage of Development
Seed stage investments fell 64 percent in dollars and 41 percent in deals with $125 million invested into 41 deals in the first quarter. Early stage investments fell 3 percent in dollars and 18 percent in deals with $2.9 billion going into 451 deals. Seed/Early stage deals accounted for 52 percent of total deal volume in Q1, compared to 55 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013. The average Seed deal in the first quarter was $3.0 million, down from $5.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The average Early stage deal was $6.4 million in Q1, up from $5.4 million in the prior quarter.
Expansion stage dollars rose 34 percent in the first quarter, with $3.9 billion going into 274 deals. Overall, Expansion stage deals accounted for 29 percent of venture deals in the first quarter, up from 26 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013. The average Expansion stage deal was $14.3 million, up dramatically from $10.3 million in Q4 2013.
Investments in Later stage deals increased 15 percent in dollars but declined 12 percent in deals to $2.5 billion going into 185 rounds in the first quarter. Later stage deals accounted for 19 percent of total deal volume in Q1, identical to the prior quarter when $2.2 billion went into 211 deals. The average Later stage deal in the first quarter was $13.8 million, up from $10.5 million in the prior quarter.
First-Time Financings
First-time financing (companies receiving venture capital for the first time) dollars decreased 25 percent to $1.2 billion in Q1, while the number of companies fell 24 percent from the prior quarter to 271. First-time financings accounted for 13 percent of all dollars in Q1, which is the lowest percentage total in the history of the survey. Companies receiving VC funding for the first time in Q1 accounted for 28 percent of all deals, which is the lowest percentage total since Q3 2009.
Nearly half of the dollars invested into companies receiving venture capital for the first time in Q1 were in the Software industry, accounting for 48 percent of the dollars and 46 percent of the deals with 126 companies capturing $571 million. First-time financings in the Life Sciences sector fell 38 percent in dollars from the prior quarter to $258 million going into 36 companies. The average first-time deal in the first quarter was $4.4 million, approximately the same as the prior quarter. Seed/Early stage companies received the bulk of first-time investments, capturing 78 percent of the dollars and 82 percent of the deals in the first quarter of 2014.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

SophiA AntipoliS (04-13-2012)
Im an old man, so Im not in school for a while now, so I dunno, maybe they arent still teaching that cristopher columbus discovered the americas, but assuming they are still teaching that...wtf?There is something weird about "history" and the perspective its taught from. Kind of like the beast in the book of daniel, history is described as this evolution of what we, (Americans,) are politicaly and economicly. We are givven this descreptive account over time, as to how civilizations evolved and influenced the develpment of the next one and basicly how it became us, the US. How man became civilized and civilization became america and everything else is an abberation. That is what was called world history in the US. So when they get to the part about christopher columbus, he convinces the greediest egomaniac in the furthest edge of the "world" to fund an expidition is really the part of world history that greed and exploitation was introduced to the "americas".First of all sweet potatoes are a different species of plant than yams. Sweet potatoes are american not african and it is a fact that they originated in the americas and have been cultivated since BC, yet sweet potatoes have als bee cultivated in polynesea for just over 1000 years. It has been pretty much proven through matching DNA that the polynesean sweet potatoes originated in south america. It is believed that polyneseans who are known for exploration of the open ocean "discovered" the americas, and found them to be occupied and thus left, but brought the potatoe back with them.That is the history of the world according to the sweetpotatoe.Which do you believe?
SophiA AntipoliS (04-13-2012)
I believe the Americas were discovered by the Ainu of Japan.
I believe that i like sweet potatoes more than regular ones. So go SWEETS! sorry i can't answer your question though...
many many cultures sailed all over the world long before columbus. europeans were way late in doing so in fact, and had to learn how from the chinese. but they did take guns with them when they finally set forth and thus were so 'successful'. just part of the grand falsehood that has been foisted on the world. i call it the Great European Lie and is has many facets but all meant to enforce the notion that there is something superior in europeans (by which i include americans of european roots) and their culture.
!soil first! every garden is an experiment no experiment is a failure

i defintely believe the world according to the sweet potato is much more accurate, over the world according to the his story books =)
yes i think this is true. they had star charts and navigated in smaller boats around the world. i also think the people in the azores (i am related to those people) and the other islands on the east side of us also came and went.....they also had boats and star charts and maps of the world long before the dominator eurocentric culture took over everything with their colonialism, and pretended they were the only voices that mattered. the portugese as well...had extensive knowledge of the world through sailing around the world, as did the asian people...long before any of that whole english/european culture take over .....with the eurocentric mindset becoming by force the dominant paradigms...with its his story twisted to make things seem a certain way....the english/european culture...actually got a lot of their info and boats from portugal, which i think was a bit removed and kinda on a different wavelegnth before basically getting looped into all that weirdness....It is believed that polyneseans who are known for exploration of the open ocean "discovered" the americas, and found them to be occupied and thus left, but brought the potatoe back with them.That is the history of the world according to the sweetpotatoe.Which do you believe?
~many hands make the work light~
Finding this thread so late at night here is hilarious, because I just recently finished a session of talking to my Solomon Island Eclectus parrot -- "Is this a sweet potato, or a yam?" He loved the things now I see if the sweet potato has a way of getting around maybe they are like sort of native food for him. Hmmm.... parrots in Australia island area do they relate more to African parrots or South American parrots?
Thanks for illuminating that perception issue. It was strange to me here in Illinois they go on about Louis and Clark "discovering" and exploring America.... 'and here was the cute lil injun gal who showed them around and made all the connections with the peoples tribes and languages they encountered, knew what path to take, etc....' LOL if only it were truly funny but pathetic in a way.

plus the maori, the have a major thing with sweet potatoes as well....they basically consider it to be their cousin...is the best way i can think to say it. actually better than that...for the basic reasons you are saying, such a big food staple to them- it is honored.
or well at least this is what i have read...the alternative his story =)
that ones a lot better and closer to the truth =)
so thats new zealand area...probably also connected to the polynesians and even the native americans, and native south americans.....

i take this rather personally...Percussa Ressurgo !
English Settlement in the New World
After Christopher Columbus' historic voyage in 1492, Spain dominated the race to establish colonies in the Americas, while English efforts, such as the "lost colony" of Roanoke (1587), met with failure. In 1606, King James I granted a charter to a new venture, the Virginia Company, to form a settlement in North America. At the time, Virginia was the English name for the entire eastern coast of North America north of Florida; they had named it for Elizabeth I, the "virgin queen." The Virginia Company planned to search for gold and silver deposits in the New World, as well as a river route to the Pacific Ocean that would allow them to establish trade with the Orient.
Roughly 100 colonists left England in late December 1606 on three ships (the Susan Constant, the Godspeed and the Discovery) and reached Chesapeake Bay late the next April. After forming a governing council—including Christopher Newport, commander of the sea voyage, and John Smith, a former mercenary who had been accused of insubordination aboard ship by several other company members—the group searched for a suitable settlement site. On May 14, 1607, they landed on a narrow peninsula–virtually an island–in the James River, where they would begin their lives in the New World.

this got me a bit curious so i looked it up.
wish i could grow sweet potatoes here, such an excellent easy to grow food plant. i keep trying but i havent gotten any to take off
yeah as i understand it (of course i wasnt there but this is something thats talked about), from the POV of the azorean and portugese people....is that both knew of and had visited this continent. just friendly visits, you know, they would sail all around and trade with people...... and it was from the portugese actually that the english/spanish/european dominator culture got their knowledge of the americas.
actually the way it is said, the portugese regretted telling the english and others after they found out what that meant. they didnt realize that by giving the information it would mean the takeover of this land.... idk if this is totally true...but i have heard this said several times....in some way they felt partly responsible, because they had come here and had some vague maps and shared information with the ones who came to colonize...without realizing exactly what they were helping.
here some info on kumara = sweet potato
The kumara is of American origin. A wild species of Ipomoea found in Mexico, on cytogenetic investigation, has proved to be more closely related to the kumara than any other species so far studied. Further, the range of variation displayed by a South American collection of varieties exceeds that found within a collection representative of Polynesian and Melanesian islands and South-East Asia.
Again, the distribution in the Pacific is not the product of a single introduction and subsequent diffusion. Independent studies, one on the variation of vernacular names applied to the plant in the western Pacific, the other on plant variation already referred to, indicate that a likely explanation for distribution is a three-stream introduction from America; the first, in prehistoric times to Polynesia, followed by two early historic introductions by the Portuguese to the East Indies, diffusing to Melanesia, and by the Spanish from their American colonies to the Philippines, from whence the plant reached mainland Asia.
The possibility that the Portuguese introduction was made by a circuitous route from the Caribbean through Africa and the Indian Ocean cannot be dismissed. The carriers of the earliest Pacific kumara, the Polynesian, remain unidentified, but the question must resolve itself into two alternatives voyages by Polynesians to the western shores of South America, or prehistoric visits of American peoples to Polynesia.

One main saying is 'Kaore te Kumara e Korero ana mo tona reka'. This translates as:
The kumara does not talk of its own sweetness.

In a time where typewriters are replaced by laptops, it's hard to go anywhere without seeing someone on their smart phone. And that includes college football players.
"I remember the original reason I got Facebook when I was 16 was for recruiting. I eventually fell into the Twitter side," said UNM Lobo, Dakota Cox.
Social media sites like Twitter have given college football fans direct access to the players.
"If you don't want it to be known than don't put it out there, but I think it's nice to have connection to fans. Sometimes the things that they say you can't let it get to you. Some people say things without knowing they could be affecting somebody else," said UNM Lobo, LaMar Bratton.
Coaches realize social media isn't going away so they might as well embrace it.
"It's part of society, so what am I going to do, take it away? I'm on it and I do my own," said Utah State head coach, Matt Wells.
"I'm not on it a bunch, but what do I have about a thousand tweets? I've been on there a few times," said Fresno State head coach, Tim DeRuyter.
Coaches don't spend all day posting their daily activities, but they use it to brand their program, inform alumni and in the process educate their players on the responsibility of social media
"We've had some issues. We monitor it. I'll come right back immediately to them. I'll take examples of things they've put on their pages and put it up in front of the entire team on a power point presentation," said UNM head coach, Bob Davie.
In all, about half of the coaches in this league have their own twitter account. They might not like it, but it's the cost of doing business in college football in 2014.

John Henson, son of Muppets creator, dies in NYFebruary 15, 2014 @ 10:11 pm
SAUGERTIES, N.Y. (AP) - Puppeteer John Henson, the son of the late Muppets creator Jim Henson, has died in New York. He was 48.
Cheryl Henson says her brother died of a "massive heart attack" at his home in Saugerties on Friday. She says it happened after he had been building an igloo in the snow with his daughter.
Henson followed in his famous father's footsteps as a puppeteer, performing as Sweetums the ogre in several films, including "Muppet Treasure Island" and "It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie."
Cheryl said her brother also made appearances in the original Coca-Cola Polar Bear suit. She described him as an "artist who also loved working the land."
Henson was a shareholder and board member of The Jim Henson Company.
Henson leaves behind his wife Gyongyi and two daughters, ages 10 and 15. A private funeral service is planned.

The Weekend
If your idea of a Halloween celebration is more about hunting spirits
than drinking them, then check out our top three haunted hotel stays this October.
Ackergill Tower Hotel, Scotland
Try a chilling stay at exclusive Ackergill Tower Hotel in the Scottish Highlands. This was the site of a bloody feud, during the 15th century, between the Keith family and the Gunn family. Having jumped or fallen from the castle tower, the ghost of Helen Gunn has since been seen creeping around the castle corridors.
Tulloch Castle Hotel, Scotland
Try a spooky stay at picturesque Tulloch Castle Hotel in the Scottish town of Dingwall. Ghostly reports include that of a tickling boy, the elegant Green Lady (who appears in a long silk dress) and a former maid, who's said to pace the floor in room number 8.
Ballygally Castle Hotel, Northern Ireland
Perched on the Antrim Coast, Ballygally Castle Hotel holds a scenic spot with fantastic views of Ballygally Bay. It's said to be haunted by the playful ghost of Lady Shaw, so don't be surprised if you hear a knock on your guest room door, only to find there's nobody behind it!

As part of the Acadiana Center for the Arts' All Star Series, Ruthie Foster and Paul Thorn take the stage Wednesday, 7:30 p.m., in the James Devin Moncus Theater.
Ruthie Foster and Paul Thorn have forged a compelling path for the next generation of songwriting blues and soul artists. The two perform a combustible blend of soul, blues, rock, R&B, folk and country. Both were raised in the church and are steeped in the traditions of American music and both put their own contemporary twist on it.
The Truth According To Ruthie Foster garnered a Grammy nomination and Thorn's Pimps and Preachers was #1 on the Americana radio charts. But it is their powerful live shows that establish this dynamic duo as two of America's freshest and finest performers.
A review from one of their performances reads: "Ruthie's passionate songs and scintillating live performances always make for an uplifting experience. Paul Thorn is an authentic new voice in the modern blues scene, bridging classic forms with twenty-first century sensibility. Performing on their own and together with Ruthie's band, it's an evening of raw musical emotion, soulful singing and finely honed musical virtuosity guaranteed to be good for the spirit!"
Tickets are $55, $45 and $35. Call 233-7060 or go here for more information.
The AcA is located in downtown Lafayette at 101 W. Vermilion.
OCT 30 If you're a Louisiana native of (ahem) a certain age, you might have fond (or fuzzy, as the case may be) memories of a Zebra concert and singing "Who's Behind the Door" until your ears rang. This post on NOLA Defender profiles the leader of that band, Randy Jackson.
OCT 30 The National Journal offers this analysis of Bobby Jindal's willingness to stump in any Senate campaign that's not in Louisiana. Why is that? The Journal asks some GOPers and finds that the answer is one we already know: he's so unpopular here, because he's been so busy running for President, that his support might be "toxic."
OCT 30 If you're not obsessed with the Texas governor's race - what's wrong with you? Here's another installment, from our own IND contributor Lamar White Jr., who explains why Wendy's "infamous" wheelchair ad was a shock to the national media - but not to anyone familiar with Greg Abbott's record.
OCT 30 Blogger Tom Aswell is still all over the OGB mess - and all by himself, apparently. In this post, he's revealing orders from the Jindal administration to destroy records from the state employee health insurance plan. Those orders (he's heard) have angered the Secretary of State and caused an administration lawyer to quit her job. Wow!
OCT 30 Blogger Crazy Crawfish is taking aim at state Superintendent John White again, this time for comments White made recently, claiming that there is no real opposition to Common Core in Louisiana. Crawfish is documenting proof to the contrary here, and lays down the gauntlet to "mainstream news media." (Don't hold your breath on that one, buddy.)
OCT 30 Gambit covers Advocate publisher John Georges' recent visit to Loyola in this post. Georges touches on how things are going in this new gig, what he thinks about the Pic's decision to move printing to Alabama, and how he feels about his political campaigns.
OCT 30 A NOLA lady has alleged she was drugged and raped at a Bywater club that had a clothing-optional policy until recently, and she's now become the victim of a smear campaign, columnist Jarvis DeBerry writes in this post. She chose to reveal her story and her name, and she's being punished for that now, he says.
OCT 30 BESE member Lottie Beebe pens this letter to the editor of the Advocate about the state Department of Education. The DOE isn't exempt from the state public records law, and because of recent lawsuits she tried to require regular reports about how many requests had been made to the department and how many remained unanswered. She wasn't successful.
OCT 29 Manny Schewitz blogs on Forward Progressives about recent Facebook posts from David Vitter, including one that purports to take you to a petition to stop Ebola (say what?) but actually signs you up for his newsletter or campaign email list or some such nonsense. Dave must think we're dummies, Manny says -- and Dave's probably right.
OCT 29 Usually, the copy on Red Shtick is satire. But in this post "from the publisher," we get a pretty astute political analysis of Edwin Edwards' charisma and old-school populist swagger. Edwards isn't concealing billionaire backers, or trying to make his opponent out to be "Satan," the post says. He's just running. Huh; imagine that.
OCT 29 Salon's Elias Isquith writes this fairly hilarious commentary on a National Review post about Bobby Jindal's attempts to "beef up" in preparation for a presidential run. But it's not just funny; Isquith seems to have Bobby's number, commenting on how the Gov "and his team are hopelessly ensconced in the Tea Party bubble."

Officers from the Grants Department of Public Safety, the Rogue Area Drug Enforcement team and Oregon State Police served a search warrant on a home in the 1200 block of Oak View Drive Wednesday.
During the search, they found several firearms, including a stolen handgun, according to a press release from the Grants Pass Department of Public Safety.
Officers recovered black tar heroin, scales, packaging materials, controlled prescription medications, cash and marijuana.
Police had to call in the Department of Human Services to assess the situation of two young children.
Police arrested Anthony M. Fortune, 26, on the suspicion of possession of heroin and unlawful delivery of heroin. Kelly Calcaterra, 37, was arrested on the suspicion of possession of heroin, unlawful delivery of heroin and unlawful manufacture of heroin.
David W. Neumann, 25, was arrested on the suspicion of unlawful possession of vicoden. And police arrested 24-year-old Cassandra M. Banilla on the suspicion of unlawful possession of percocet.
Police say they citied and released all four individuals at the scene because there was a lack of resources at the Josephine County Jail.

yeah i think its important as cookie thornton from kirkwood MO was harrased by local government enough that he took action with a gun and killed many people in the court….he likely wouldnt have been pushed so far if it hadnt been for government harassment. i saw similarities. my bad. we should all be outraged at small government who takes things to the extreme. such as this case and cookies case. besides, this aint facebook. this is supposed to be real news, no bias. why take down a story you thought worthy enough to post in the first place

Meanwhile, children starve to death in Africa. It absolutely amazes me how we purposely make our lives miserable and filled with rigid rules. I'd rather live in the city, then some Stepfordish suburb where I can't have pink playhouses, and flags or where I have to get permission to put a pool in or build a shed ON MY PROPERTY! I guess some folks just like livin by other folks rules. Not me. I just told my neighbor that if she ever let her weeds get as high as they were then Ima call the city on her, I then went and weeded her lawn and harassed her to go buy a weed eater. They haven't grown tall since. No need for HOA's.

Re: OSPCA calls for more powers, funding, Oct. 11
Talk, talk and more delays, this is all that seems to be done regarding Marineland and the welfare of animals in this country. Nothing will definitely be decided until next spring! Exactly the same is true with the elephants at the Toronto Zoo. All put under the table for more talks. Something should be done now, not maybe next year.
Why doesn't Community Safety Minister Madeleine Meilleur resign and let someone with more guts and feeling for the animals take over? The suffering to these animals has been going on too long.
Joyce Evers, Toronto
The Ontario government is now talking about new regulations in the wake of a Toronto Star investigation. Unfortunately, there are no laws that adequately protect animals. The laws we have are either weak or non-existent. Penalties are minimal, when enforced.
I often wonder where politicians come from. It is 2012, isn't it? People who run for office seem to be stuck in some bizarre 19th-century time warp. Should we not ask folks about their views on both human and animal rights before they even decide to run for office?

Slacker & Steve's Blog
by Slacker and Steve
posted Jan 22 2014 9:27PM
A 66-year-old woman was conned after she befriended a Nigerian man who claimed to be "David Holmes," an Irish citizen working on a Scottish oilrig. He used a picture he said was of him but was actually an image of a male model he downloaded from the Internet. There were even phone calls and he didn't seem to have a Nigerian accent. He sent her flowers. But they never met in person. The district attorney's office later found out the man was living in Nigeria, which is "a hot bed of online scams." He convinced the woman to wire him $300,000 as a loan for his oil business, with most of the money coming from her retirement account and funds she got after refinancing her home. A Nigerian man was arrested for committing fraud but he wasn't the actual scammer. The thief actually sent the Nigerian to a bank in Turkey to pick up the money, where he was arrested. Luckily the victim was able to get back $200,000 from a bank in Turkey. She has only a "1 percent" chance of recovering the remaining $300,000 because "it's just impossible to track down" and federal authorities don't get involved in losses below $1 million.
Slacker thinks he may have recently been the victim of a scam related to the Target fiasco. Steve was once scammed by the guys that go around selling speakers out of the back of their van.
Have you ever fallen victim to a scam?
