Lots of Good Educational News from Arizona and Beyond

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 19:37:38 PDT

What Worked and Sucked Today 482008

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 19:39:15 PDT
Worked: TITN - Ripped today up 8% unfortunately I can pick the stocks, but I can’t ride them all the way. I got out with a 3.6% gain, so I can’t complain. CPST, DRYS, and JOYG all finished higher. It looks like I’m going to have to sit through a possible drop tomorrow though. My RUT long was swapped today to the short side along with extra shorting of the NDX. I didn’t like the way the market was acting today so if there is some profit tomorrow morning I’m taking it. Basically the long RUT

Don’t Downgrade Public Channels by Scott Hanley Hartford Courant (CT) 04/07/08 3 comments ] I applaud The Courant’s decision to encourage the General Assembly to protect the Connecticut Television Network from substandard delivery on AT&T’s U-verse video system editorial, April 4, "Don't Downgrade CT-N"].

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 19:40:46 PDT

Their chief advocate in the Senate, John McCain, delivered an uninspired and somewhat risible defense of them. Here is the conclusion of John McCain's prepared remarks (PDF): Congress must not choose to lose in Iraq. We should choose, instead, to succeed. That's a measure of the depth of his thinking about the morass McCain helped the nation to

Hands-on with HP's online backup app, Upline

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 19:41:21 PDT
HP has entered the online backup space with a new product called Upline. It's a decent cloud-based backup product at a very good price point, but it has a few frustrating limitations. The good news first: The software is simple to get started with (critical for a backup app) and the paid plans all provide unlimited storage for your documents, photos, music, and video files (also critical -- who wants to count bits when signing up for data insurance?). The system checks for new files by de
