Nintendo Unveils New Gaming Console Called WiiU, Nintendo introduced this multifuction controller that also features a 6.2-inch screen at an event held at the Nokia Theater hours before the opening of E3 in Los Angeles.

I'm in love with my Wii and I didn't think they could do anything better. I liked it because it was different, and now I feel like Nintendo is going in the direction of all the other gaming consoles.

It seems like ATKmother is right about the no. of jobs being created for nursing sector. Nursing is again becoming a well paid job, as i had a discussion with a person from http://ayatravelnursingjobs.com/ who showed me some real interesting numbers of past 5 years.

I opted out of my EXTRA work on the new series TRAUMA, scheduled for thursday, monday and tuesday because i didn't want to miss my son chase's last two football games ~ and the casting gal told me they wanted me to be the flight attendant! darn!  maybe i would have made the scene / screen ?  my son and husband encouraged me to go.  but.... i just couldn't.   .....decisions of a modern mom!

Tech Sector Hiring is Hot Again as Google, Twitter, etc., Grow SAN FRANCISCO — Silicon Valley companies are swooping in and scooping up potential employees in a frenzy of hiring not seen since the Internet bubble of a decade ago. The tech industry is beginning to resemble an economic Nirvana, as established companies and start-ups alike hire aggressively and court prospective recruits. The competition is so fierce, many employers are dangling goodies such as iPads, nifty cubicles, shuttle service and meals to harvest top talent in engineering, social-media, website and product design, data crunching and analysis, and management. A surge in tech hires in California could portend an upturn for the larger U.S. economy, says Jesse Harriott, chief knowledge officer at online job site Monster.com. Nationally, 148,000 tech jobs are expected to be added by the end of 2011, says Sophia Koropeckyj, an economist at Moody's Analytics. Between the second quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2010, during the economic swoon, 308,000 tech jobs were lost. For non-tech companies, things aren't as bullish. Many are sitting on cash instead of hiring. "It is an incredibly competitive marketplace for (tech) talent," says Square COO Keith Rabois, drawing a comparison to the dot-com mania of the early 2000s. Since he joined the mobile-payment service eight months ago, the company has grown to 80 employees from 25. By the end of this year, it should have a staff of 150. Square is snapping up engineers and designers who it believes are candidates to eventually start their own companies, says Rabois, an early employee at PayPal, LinkedIn and Slide.

Meet the man who’s re-creating Noah’s Ark Inspired by a dark dream, Dutchman is building massive vessel to biblical proportions By Michael Inbar TODAY.com contributor TODAY.com contributor While Noah will likely always remain the first name in arks, tourists are chomping at the bit to climb aboard “Johan’s Ark,” an ambitious re-creation of the biblical boat that’s attracting gawkers galore along a waterfront shipyard in Dordrecht, a city in the western Netherlands. Dutch builder Johan Huibers is expected to complete work on the massive vessel sometime next month in what has been a staggeringly ambitious project to bring one of the best-known stories of the Bible to life. It’s taken three years of his life and $1.6 million out of his pocket, but Huibers, owner of a successful construction company in Holland, says the project is a dream come true — literally. “I dreamed a part of Holland was flooded,” Huibers, 60, told Janet Shamlian in a report that aired on TODAY Wednesday. “Then, the next day I get the idea to build an ark of Noah.” Biblical proportions That dream occurred 20 years ago, and Huibers has been ark-obsessed ever since. Despite his wife’s misgivings, he built an ark in 2004 that was roughly half the size of the specifications listed in the Bible. He guided the craft through the myriad canals of the Netherlands, and it proved such a hit among tourists, who were charged seven bucks apiece to climb aboard, that it financed Huibers’ true dream — building an ark every bit as big as Noah’s. “Johan’s Ark” clocks in at 450 feet long, true to the Bible’s account of a 300 cubit-long ship (in ancient times, a cubit was the length of a man’s arm from elbow to fingertips, or roughly 18 inches). The ark weighs in at a whopping 2,970 tons, and is constructed of Swedish pine, which Huibers told The New York Times is in keeping with God’s command to Noah that the ark be built of resin wood. As far as God’s command to Noah that the ark be stocked with two of everything in the animal kingdom, Huibers steered a wide berth around animal rights activists and opted for inanimate models instead — and indeed, the ship now boasts faux giraffes, zebras, cows and donkeys by the pair.
