"UPS shares tumbled after the company cut its outlook for the year and warned that fourth-quarter results would not meet expectations. UPS invested heavily to avoid 2013’s delivery debacle, but it came at a cost, CEO David Abney said. In addition to the thousands of temporary hires, UPS spent millions to improve volume forecasting, network visibility, tracking, and communications....
RadioShack is considering shutting down its nearly century-old retail chain in a bankruptcy deal that would sell about half of its store leases to Sprint and cancel the rest, people with knowledge of the discussions say. Locations that Sprint takes over would operate under the wireless carrier’s name, meaning RadioShack would cease to exist as a stand-alone retailer, said the people, who declined to be identified because the talks aren’t public.

Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman (right) has graduated from the dollar-a-year club as the struggling tech company prepares to split up. She was paid $19.6 million in cash and stock last year, up from $17.6 million in 2013, after HP’s board raised her base salary to $1.5 million from $1 and bestowed additional cash and stock awards based on performance.

It had a deal with GT Advanced of Merrimack, N.H., to use the plant to make sapphire glass for Apple products, but GT declared bankruptcy in October. Apple has also been working to help more than 600 GT employees who lost their jobs....

At Logan, the seven-day snowfall total recorded by the weather service shattered the previous record by several inches, while the 10-day tally approached 4 feet — meaning more snow has fallen in Boston over the past week and a half than the city sees in an entire average winter."

The sad thing is the victory parade was been cancelled because of weather, and I don't want to spend any more time on this than is really needed. If I'm guilty of not giving the big game its due coverage for you, then I apologize. I don't mean to spoil the party (sigh).
