Money matters for Caps
There is virtually no area of the Washington Capitals' performance this season in which anyone could find meaningful improvement. At least nobody disputes this.
Why would a team that took baby steps forward last season stagger to a halt this season? Two reasons: experience and talent. The Caps have little of the former and even less of the latter.
That the Caps are in this predicament is a matter of economics. Washington ranked last in payroll this season at about $31 million, even less after the blood-letting at the trading deadline. Under the collective bargaining agreement, teams were allowed to spend $44 million -- a figure the Caps avoided better than any other club.
Therefore, it was no surprise Saturday night to hear majority owner Ted Leonsis proudly announce it had been a pretty good year for the team business-wise, even though many nights the building looked half full.
Atlanta mayor vouches for AirTran's corporate support
AirTran Holdings Inc. chief executive officer Joseph Leonard fired the latest volley in the corporate chess match with Midwest Air Group Inc. Monday with a new letter to Midwest's board of directors, telling them that his company will make a "firm commitment" to growth in Milwaukee. With his letter, Leonard attached a letter addressed to him from Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, who, in essence, testifies to AirTran's commitment to growth in that city. Franklin's letter was dated April 2. "The Atlanta consumer has received numerous benefits from Air Tran Airways, including the tremendous savings created by offering low fares every day. By offering low fares, AirTran Airways has stimulated traffic at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airrport," Franklin wrote.
Stuck Between Two Stools
Even with today's rapid application software development cycles, large projects are often barely complete before their tools and target platforms are supplanted by newer versions. It's almost as if the pace of tool and platform development is running ahead of the rate at which some application software developers can absorb and make use of them. Competitive Advantage Many ASP.NET (1.0) projects rolled out well after ASP.NET 2.0 had shipped. More than a few new projects are still being developed, even today, with Visual Studio 2003 for .NET 1.1 rather than with VS2005 for .NET 2.0 (let alone 3.0). A few continue to use even earlier versions of Microsoft tools and platforms. This may save a bit of money in the short term by avoiding the costs to upgrade tools and platforms.

High Hopes Investment Club celebrates 25th anniversary
In the early 1980s the two discussion topics for American Association of University Women were Money Talks and Taking Hold of Technology. Genevieve Angelides, president 1981-1982, brought back to Fremont a wealth of ideas and plans for implementing AAUW programs. As a result, the High Hopes Investment Club was one of the five AAUW Fremont Branch investment clubs that sprung up at that time. The club began in October 1981 with 15 members. Today there are 10 members who are proud to announce upon the 25th anniversary three original members: Mary Lynn Pelican, Carolyn Hedgecock, and Caroline Johnston, who has been treasurer the entire time. Monthly dues are $30 and the club is worth $112,000. Each unit is now worth $60.83 instead of $10 when they started. The effective compounded rate of return achieved since inception is 10.2 percent.
