halo3 ^_^

^_^ yay halo3 ^_^ More than 15 million copies of the first 2 Halo game have been sold wow that’s mind blowing. They say that at midnight stores all around the world will open and over 2 million will sell the first day now that is mind blowing. 10,000 copies alone will be sold in Colorado. Now you tell me is that not mind blowing or is it. Shane Kim, corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios, said the success Halo 3 was an essential element in the competitive console market.
He said: "Halo 3 is the biggest franchise for Xbox. The game is going to drive a lot of Xbox 360 sales and Xbox Live subscriptions this Christmas."
If that isn’t mind busting read this part of the article: Microsoft needs Halo 3 to boost sales of the Xbox 360; despite investing billions of dollars into the Xbox project it has yet to see any meaningful profitable return
"It's far too early to say what the financial return will be for our investment," Mr Kim told the BBC News website.
Halo 3 has the chance of becoming one of the most special entertainment launches of the year
Shane Kim, Microsoft
Microsoft hopes to make a profit on its Xbox in this financial year.
"If we can't make a profit in the year Halo 3 comes out, then when will we?" said Mr Kim.
More than a million people have pre-ordered the game but that is not preventing thousands of gamers from queuing outside shops to get their hands on the title as soon as possible.
Now that is mind blowing well is it…

Never mind I don’t need to know all you need to know is that Halo3 is going to end the Halo series. Sad I know I wish it wouldn’t end I like the Halo games. ^_^ yay halo3 ­­^_^

Wife fired?!?

In this blogg all I have to say about it is that it really needs more work, (on the article).
I think that the writer of the article should have written something more than just the title
At first the title seams interesting which makes you want to read it. But if you click on the link it just gives you a blank screen. I personally think he should have written something and not left it blank. If you don’t believe me look for you self if you have Weblogg-ed if not I’m sorry I don’t know ho to post the article.

csap blog

here is the artical for the csap review.

13-year-old CSAP gets review

DENVER—The Colorado Student Assessment Program test given to the state's school children each year will be reviewed under a plan to help school districts improve student performance and narrow achievement gaps.
"We do believe that after 13 years it's time for us to take a look at what students need to know and be able to do," Colorado Department of Education Commissioner Dwight Jones said Thursday.
The review will look at the state standards, put in place in 1994, and determine what students at each grade level should now in each subject, followed by a review of the CSAP tests.
Jones said he expects there will be changes in standards and testing.
Other parts of the plan to help districts improve performance include recognition for schools that undertake successful, systemic school reform, a retreat for school leaders to share innovative ideas, and scholarships for 100 top high school seniors who enroll in state colleges and universities and agree to teach in hard-to-staff teaching positions when they graduate.

the future of work

A debate has taken place in the world of work. The fowling is the debate:

The rapid growth of broader, richer channels of communication–including virtual worlds–is transforming what it means to be “at work.”
Here are a couple more outtakes:
“What’s more, the modern workplace no longer resembles the factory assembly line but rather the design studio, where the core values are collaboration and innovation, not mindless repetition.”
And,
The percentage of 25- 29-year-olds with at least a bachelor’s degree has actually fallen during this decade. This raises the real possibility that this generation of young Americans may actually be less educated than the previous one, creating a growing gap between the kinds of people companies need and the workers who are actually available.
Free agency looks to be on the rise:
Complicating matters is the fact that the very idea of a company is shifting away from a single outfit with full-time employees and a recognizable hierarchy. It is something much more fluid, with a classic corporation at the center of an ever-shifting network of suppliers and outsourcers, some of whom only join the team for the duration of a single project.
And collabortive capability is becoming more and more important:
The hard part for multinationals is getting people to work well together, especially given that day-and-night collaboration across the globe is growing…Nokia is careful to select people who have a collaborative mindset…Accenture, which spent $700 million on education last year, says its 38,000 consultants and most of its service workers take course on collaborating with offshore colleagues.
