Should College Students Be Forced To Buy E-Books?
by Janet Novack
18 May 2012 at 10:13am
It's not just rising college tuition and room and board charges. It's all those incidentals--from student activity and health fees to lab fees and books--that are turning higher education into such a financial burden. According to the College Board's latest Trends In College Pricing report,  in 2011-2012, books and supplies cost students at four year public colleges an average of $1,168, and at private non-profit four-year colleges an average of $1,213.  Nor is this a new problem. A 2005 report by Congress' Government Accountability Office found that from 1986 through 2004, text book prices nearly tripled, rising at twice the rate of inflation.

Catalysts Driving Apple to $800 by Year End; Psst Facebook Does Not Have Them
by Darcy Travlos

I have published on (and bought)  Apple all the way down in the $590s, $580s and $560s.  I bought more Apple at $532.  Buying Apple on unexplained stock dips (ie, $85 in 2008) has proven fortuitous.  I believe that today, with Apple in the $530-$540s, represents the same opportunity.  Zig and build a position in Apple, while the rest of the (media) world is zagging and focused on Facebook.  What does Apple have going for it?

For all of California?s effort to close their funding gap, it seems California?s budget deficit is now $16 billion. For those doing the math, that?s $7 billion more than the most recent $9 billion projection. Contributing to the wider gap were tax receipts coming in about $4 billion below projections.
