Me having experience dealing with cloud based tech and consulting and integration services, I realize the need for a secure and consistant cloud service. Many people are concerned with the privacy, or lack thereof, that could occur with storing personal documents into a non-physical storage unit. I can see, though with companies such as ours and Metacloud, we are working toward a more secure and easy to use cloud system for both personal and professional use. Spursh Parikh www.sererra.com

Team Howard Runs the Table at The Canadian Open, Captures Title

- Team Howard defeats Team Jacobs 3-1 in exciting final, caps off perfect 8-0 tournament record -
- $100,000 purse awarded to Team Howard, becomes eligible to split $100,000 bonus awarded to the top three men's teams from the 2012-13 Grand Slam of Curling season -

KELOWNA, BC, Dec. 16, 2012 /CNW/ - After a hard-fought battle that began with 18 of the world's best curling teams, Coldwater, ON's Team Howard has been crowned champion of the Grand Slam of Curling's second event of the 2012-13 season, The Canadian Open. Team Howard was awarded their trophy and prize money this afternoon at Kelowna, B.C.'s Prospera Place.

Team Howard beat out Sault Ste. Marie, ON's Team Jacobs in a tight 3-1 final, ending the event with a perfect 8-0 record.

"It was nice to get back to playing well after a slow start to the Slam series," said skip Glenn Howard.  "After missing the playoffs at The Masters it feels great to bounce back and get the major win here in Kelowna. We are looking forward to The National in Port Hawkesbury in the New Year."

In addition to The Canadian Open $100,000 purse, Team Howard - as well as The Rogers Masters winner Team Koe - are now eligible to split an additional $100,000 purse as one of the top three men's teams competing in the 2012-13 Grand Slam of Curling season.
