I try not to repost too many things but I got this in my inbox this morning and was so impressed with the graphic used for conveying the information I could not resist (visualization anyone?).
Plus I know many folks are looking for work.
Both Houston (where I am) and Denver (my fav) make the list.

<Note: This is a promotional/guest posting from Tim Brownson’s blog How to Be Rich and Happy. I have read this book and loved it (hence the button to order this book in my sidebar). Very straightforward and easy to read with lots of great advice and practical worksheets/exercies. Plus they have a great “change the world” story. For the price offered below, there is really no reason not get it and read it, unless you are already as rich and happy as you want to be. KG>
To celebrate the triple launch of How To Be Rich and Happy in Netherlands, Germany and Taiwan (see photo of the cover) and with Germany and China imminent, we’re slashing the price for a limited period.
The hard copy in English is currently only available on this site and retails for $25. As I’m sure you know all that money goes into printing copies of the book to give to good causes, John and I don’t take a penny out for ourselves.
Until February 14th (I know, we’re such romantics) you can grab it for just $10 plus shipping.
The PDF version sells for $19 and you can grab that for a measly $4, or a tad less than a venti soy latte from your favorite purveyor of fine ground beans.
All you need to do is click on the Buy Now button, choose which version you want and then enter coupon code “justask” at checkout.
Being a modern day Data Warrior is hard work!
It’s amazing how hard it is to sit all day, looking at a computer monitor, talking on con calls, communicating via IM and email, keeping up on trends with a little online video training, or sitting in conference rooms collecting requirements.
To be effective and focused, both your mind and your body must be strong. That is as true today for modern IT workers as it was in the past for warriors of ancient Sparta.
In 1928, the U.S. Congress hired a doctor, Dr. George W Calver, to try to keep them healthy so they could effectively do their jobs for the country.
Dr. Calver came up with his 10 Commandments for Health and posted them all over the U.S. Capital to remind the congressman of how to stay in good health.
Here they are for you:
His final piece of advice: “Give 5% of your time to keeping well. You won’t have to give 100% getting over being sick.”
Great advice for any age (or career). For more check out the January AARP Bulletin.
Take care. Stay healthy.
