Posted: 22 May 2012 11:08 PM PDT

Though Capella Education Co’s (NASDAQ:CPLA) first quarter 2012 earnings of $0.82 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate, it dropped 15% from the prior-year quarter due to top-line weakness. Total revenues fell 1.8% due to a decline in new enrollments.
The company has been witnessing volatile enrollment growth since the last few quarters due to challenging market conditions.

Momentum Stock: Datalink Corp.

Posted: 22 May 2012 11:08 PM PDT

Shares of Datalink Corporation (NASDAQ:DTLK) are up 8.7% since this Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) reported first quarter results on April 25. We believe there is further upside for this provider of data center infrastructure solutions and services, given its focus on an extremely fast-growing market segment.
Q1 Revenue Soars 39%

From “College Crackup and the Online Future,” by Mark C. Taylor, chairman of the department of religion at Columbia University, writing for Bloomberg:
