We can all agree that we're in a challenging economic environment. We may scratch our heads and say, where is there serious demand for technology services, products and I.T. professionals?
Thanks to the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act passed as part of President Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), this may be the answer you have been looking for!
A highly fragmented industry response to implementing HITECH is presenting a feeding frenzy of opportunities for I.T. professionals. Be sure to register early to attend the September 16th lunchtime event "Winning Strategies For Conversion Of Paper Records To Digital" presented by ARMA and AIIM.

The
Force is all around us. It flows around and through us. It is between
us and that tree and the rock, around our sunken X-Wing, going through
our wallet, tickling our armpits, and flowing between our ears. You
think we're joking, but the only way to guide the Force outside your
body is to guide the Force inside your head. Yoda told us that once
when we had stew over at his house. The stew was ok (if you like
licking swamp creatures), but the advice was invaluable.
And now Yoda is ready (in electronic form) to help guide you through 15
levels of mind mastery. The Star Wars Force Trainer is a fantastic leap
forward in technology. The headset actually measures your brainwaves -
brainwaves you will learn how to control. Seriously, your brainwaves
will lift the ball in the Star Wars Force Trainer device (well,
technically air will, but the strength of your brainwaves will control
the power of the air). This is a toy you will buy for your kid, and
then take to your own room and never give back. Your geekling may cry,
but you will master the Force. And that's all that matters. With Yoda
and the Star Wars Force Trainer, fail you will not
