Usually, business spending on software doesn't happen at the beginning of a recovery but once the recovery is undeniable.

We've seen widespread action in the states in the space of a year. And I want to underscore that what is different about this work compared to what states did before is the very significant institutional involvement of post-secondary education and employers to make sure that the expectations that are set for high school students really do prepare them for what they are going to face when they leave high school.

We've seen early signs of recovery, but it hasn't been affecting the technology space yet.

We're here so that they don't have to go scrambling around looking for people qualified to determine who's eligible and who isn't.

Most people don't realize that heat is going to increase absorption rates, even to toxic levels.

IBM's weakness was more of an aberration than a growing trend. It's more likely we'll see IBM get back on track this quarter.

What does that tell you about how people value mental health? New Hampshire deserves better.

I think it's a giant waste of money. I don't see a huge (environmental) downside to it, but the science still doesn't show whether it actually works. If they can create another 1.1 million acre-feet of water, that's a huge amount. I wish them luck.

Microsoft is at or nearing a stage of maturity. Analysts are expecting slower growth rates and so is the market.

There are 28 species of dolphins and whales in the Santa Barbara Channel. We see, typically, common and bottle-nosed dolphins. That was a pod of seven or eight juveniles and females we saw.

Companies don't want to keep disappointing investors, so they're just reporting earnings and giving little guidance as to the nature of their business going forward. Companies used to give indications for a year out. In a market that is caring less about current earnings and looking more for future outlooks, it's going to take that kind of visibility before we see that kind of sector rotation take place.

As far as the federal government is concerned, they're back where they were before the Nov. 7 decision.

As long as people are willing to get wet and have fun, we'd love to have them.
