Shift Happens

This morning, the Washington State Legislature Information Technology Work Group met to deal with the $664.4 million in funding for IT investment in Washington state agencies for the 2007-9 biennium. Co-chairing the work group is Rep. Larry Crouse and Sen. Dan Swecker. While sitting in that meeting, I found myself thinking about the State Board of Education (SBE) meeting on Sept. 19 where the board was focusing on the Meaningful High School Diploma project.

As part of that meeting, a video was shown entitled, Shift Happens. (Click here to watch the video). The six-minute video presents a number of statistics about the technological changes taking place in the world. For example, the One Laptop Per Child project is expecting to ship between 50 to 100 million laptops a year to children in underdeveloped countries. The video has been viewed by the SBE as well Governor Gregoire's policy advisers.

Technology has a dramatic impact not only on state government, but also on the school buildings principals lead. With the shift that is taking place in Washington and the world, having a working knowledge of current technology is now a required skill of all principals.

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my blog to get additional info.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I started to get real money.
It's all about how to choose a proper companion who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the income with me.
