Arizona Technology Roundup

Remember earlier when I mentioned that the state was proposing a $150 million investment in Arizona biotech advancement? Well, funny thing. Seems they've changed their mind. Since then, they've slashed the amount to $15 million. For you readers who aren't engineers (or who don't have your HPs available), that's one tenth of the amount. Worse than that, they're talking about taking it out of job training funds. Now while I grok the Indian Casino blackjack dealer argument, given the stability of the engineering profession, I'd really like to have the funds available to diversify my skills should the need arise.
