Yes, Ms. Tudor: in the simple mind of George W, PhDs in nanotechnology can simply retrain to become LVNs at the local nursing home facility. Although, healthcare is importing RNs, for example, from India. I have a neighbor who established a business to do just that. lb

Much of your California economy is moving to other states because the a failed political agendas of special interest groups. denverpost.com <<<In San Jose, the bubble has popped, and this week the Colorado delegation heard the echoes. San Jose and the surrounding area lost 132,690 jobs between June 2000 and June 2003, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Nearby San Francisco lost 74,793 jobs during the same period. More than 20 Coloradans - economic-development professionals, educators, high-tech executives and politicians - are racing across the endless freeways of northern California and roaming through corporate suites of countless offices in search of an elusive prize: job growth. The goal of the trip is to persuade companies with significant operations in Colorado to expand, said Tom Clark, head of the Metro Denver Network, a regional group that touts the area. The crew divided into teams and visited executives from Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, PeopleSoft, AT&T, LSI Logic, Mitem Corp., McKesson Corp., Jeppesen, Lockheed Martin and dozens of other companies. Owens and Hickenlooper met with senior-level executives at some of the companies. All of the meetings were private, and none yielded announcements of new job growth for Colorado. Owens cautioned that the process takes time and that companies do not create jobs based on a single visit. Instead, the delegation hopes to spur those executives to think about Colorado when the time comes for their companies to grow. "We want people to remember us," said Owens, who touted the state's low tax rate and well-educated workforce to the executives he met. "We want them to say, 'Put Colorado on the list' when they are ready to grow.">>>
