Seven federally qualified medical offices are part of the state’s Health Center Controlled Network, a group of health centers that has banded together to exchange information.

The grant is one of 18 totalling .8 million awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services to implement electronic health records and other health information technology innovations.

The money is part of billion allotted to the department’s Health Resources and Services Administration under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

The money is to be used to expand health-care services to low-income and uninsured people through its health-center program.

“Broad use of health information technology has the potential to improve health- care quality, prevent medical errors and increase the efficiency of care provision,” said David Blumenthal, national coordinator for Health Information Technology.

“This program supports the department’s overall efforts to assist physicians and hospitals in adopting and becoming meaningful users of health information technology.”

The Health Center Controlled Network has established ways to meet administrative, information technology and clinical quality objectives, said Chuck Clark, the network’s chief information officer and IT director for Coastal Family Health.

Coastal Family Health, with its nine offices Coastwide plus four mobile units, will share a medical database with 10 other centers around the state, Clark said.

This sharing allows Coastal Family Health patients access to their medical records at any of the other offices in the Mississippi Primary Health Care Association that are in the network, which is especially beneficial following a weather-related evacuation.

“It makes their records more portable,” he said.

The network includes two data centers, a primary center in Hattiesburg and a secondary center in Birmingham.

“If something happens to the primary, the secondary is up and running,” Clark said.

The upgrades and additions should be complete next summer.

This is the second technology grant Coastal has received to expand the health network in the state, said Chief Financial Officer Katherine Hill. A grant received several years ago paid for the database for the initial seven health centers, she said.

Coastal Family Health, a 501c nonprofit, provides health care and social services to all persons regardless of economic status. Almost 31,000 patients used the center last year, Clark said.

Am I the only one just a little bit concerned about the lack of specific ideas on fixing the economy by all of the current presidential candidates? They are quick to hit all of the hot button no brainer political issues like the war in Iraq, healthcare, oil prices etc. but when it comes to talking about the economy we hear more ideals than we do ideas. Phrases such as “I will protect the middle class” or “Americans deserve to work hard and be successful” are commonplace. The question is what are you as a presidential candidate going to do in this global economy to stimulate new jobs and reduce the outsourcing of current American jobs? I believe one huge step toward these goals would be for the government to invest in the proliferation of new web technologies and in education in the web technology sector.

How would this be accomplished? Right now the U.S. government provides grants to states to prepare workers for new and emerging industries. By increasing this funding and setting aside a certain amount for web technology grants the government would provide a big boost of capital for this emerging industry. Also, the government could provide small business loans to businesses in the web technology sector to provide access to middle class Americans. Finally, by increasing funding for web technology education the government would provide a boost to the level of skilled labor in the market.

Why web technology? If we are looking to provide quality opportunities for middle class Americans this is the place to start. Startup costs for a web business are low. The web is the great equalizer in that if you have a good idea and you can create a web presence the payoff can be immense. You see it every day now that the internet is doing away with the need for newspapers, movies, even television. Advertising dollars are slowly migrating to the web. Our economy is moving there as well but unfortunately our leaders don’t have the forethought to move it out of the industrial age just yet. By making a big push in this sector the United States would gain a huge economic advantage in the global economy which would create new jobs and possible reduce the outsourcing of jobs. It is time to retrain our workforce to operate in the new web economy. Unfortunately, our current presidential candidates do not seem to find this notion politically satisfying.

Most of this technology is actually still unknown to some people. For instance, TiVos became popular because they can record TV programs with high quality and have a great storage capacity, which completely turns video cassette players obsolete, but there are alternative gadgets and technologies such as video capture cards or USB peripherals that can do the very same thing but without costing us a monthly rental fee.

Bluetooth and WiFi are relatively new concepts which most computer users don’t fully understand but it is used often through Laptops, PDAs and Cell phones. The fact is that users sometimes are unaware of what the technology implies and how it works, they just want to use it and know that it works. While that may be the case with most of us it is always nice to have someone to ask these type of questions when such information is needed.

Fortunately, all that is required to access a vast amount of information regarding gadgets and tech news is a computer with web access. There are several tech portals which deliver several headlines a day so the best way to keep up with them is to subscribe freely to their news and updates feed so that they can be read from one RSS Feed reader, this is the case of blogs, article sites, etc.

Tech forums are also useful when trying to get reviews or opinions about a certain gadget. For example, many people don’t know what the iphone can be “hacked”, this particular term doesn’t mean that someone will access our phone and steal our ring tones and phone numbers, what it means is that extra functionality and applications can be added to unlock or add more features. The same thing can be said of the new gaming consoles from Nintendo “Wii”, most users do not know that Wii’s controllers can be used to play games on laptops or PCs using the motion sensors they have built in and a small application.

The bottom line is, ever since the invention of the web, new technologies and gadget have emerged and they keep emerging, so it is important to keep up through constantly updated social sites, news sites, forums and blogs.

Dogs like their freedom. They do not like to be put inside the house all day. At the same time, they do not like to be kept outside always. They like their freedom to be inside or outside the house as and when they choose. This is not really a problem if the dog is well trained. They are taught not to stray around too much or associate with street dogs. They do out do their business and come back into the house. The best option to deal with this problem would be to install a dog door. A dog door is a small opening on the main door of your house.

It will just about big enough for the door to squeeze through comfortably. They come in various sizes and you can make your choice based on the size and breed of your dog. Of course if you have just recently got yourself a puppy then it should be kept in mind that the pup is going to grow up soon and so the dog door should be of such size that it will fit your fully grown dog at a later date. Dog doors are convenient as you will not have to keep going and opening the door for your dog to exit and then enter. You do not have to worry about your scratching at your door and ruining the wood. The dog can move out whenever he wants to go out and there is also no worry about the dog excreting within your home and dirtying up the place.

Dog doors come in various forms. They come as flaps, doors, sliding doors etc. They are made of various materials such as plastic, aluminum, vinyl, etc. it is made such that the dog can easily go through and it should also not hurt the dog in anyway. Some of the dog doors have some magnet or remote sensing based. The dog’s collar is fixed with an object which activates the door and it unlocks when the dog is close to the door. This way there is security and it also prevents entry of stray dogs and other animals into the house. There is a lot of information about dog doors online. You can do check for yourself and decide on the door which suits your dog and your home.

That`s something that you cannot expect from other animal categories. Well then to get dogs to do what you want them to do and be disciplined, they must be trained well. So how then can you train them? There has been a revolutionary invention made called dog training collars. These collars are made to train dogs. They can be used for all kinds of dogs, whether they are small or large, tiny or huge, all can be trained using this training collar.

Let us see how this collar works? The Dog training collars are made in such a way that they have a remote that you will use to stop the dog from misbehaving. So what you have to do is, simply put the bark collar on the dog. When he is not behaving the way you want him to or if he is not listening to you then all you do is press the remote button and the dog will get a small shock.

This will stop him from doing what he is doing. If he is stopped from doing something and gets a shock every time he does that he will stop doing that completely. For example to toilet train your dog you must give him a shock (this does not harm the dog) every time he dirties inside the house or in the garden. This way he will soon realize that he must go to the toilet only when he’s taken for a walk or when he is outside. Similarly you can use the collar to train him for other things as well. So go to your nearest store or online whatever you prefer and check out available offers to buy a bark collar for your dog today.

The plywood boat plans are preferred for almost every boat enthusiast of any level. It is also a favorite as it is cheaper than wood. Even more, this material is much easier to handle. It is essential to choose boat plans that will be affordable in nature, and can suit the owner`s need at the same time. It is important to remember that it is your boat and it is logical to choose the design you prefer. There are some boat building methods that are essential to include in the plan. One of the popular methods is the ply over frame. This method includes building the frame of the boat upon which the plywood has to be glued. The other popular method is known as the stitch and glue. This is an easy method. According to this method you need to cut the plywood according to the shape that is specified in the plan. Then you can assemble the other parts by gluing and stitching them together. You can use copper wire to stitch the various parts together.

The epoxy is mostly used for gluing purposes. The seam that is used is typically covered with the strip of the fiberglass, which is coated with resin. The seam is typically covered with strips of fiberglass that are coated with resin. The building of the boat also includes designing the boat. The choice of design depends upon the individual‘s wood working skills and experience. One will require a standard guide to achieve perfection. Plywood boat plans aim to manufacture boats that are not only attractive in nature but long lasting too. There are different marine colors that can be used for painting the boat, as well. The best among them is the epoxy paint as it not only protects, but also seals the wood.

If you want to build your own boat, you need to find ways to make it both durable and attractive. You can use various marine paint colors or special epoxy paints to protect and seal the wood. This is a useful plywood coating. You can learn about epoxy and its advantages, including the process of coating and application processes, online or some boat plans will also include this as an optional step. With so many styles and boat sizes to choose from, you should base your decision on your own requirements. In many cases you do not need any special tools and equipment. A table saw is usually necessary, but not always if you plan to build a smaller type of boat. After learning basic and simple designs you will begin to understand more complicated designs as well.

Types of Funding

1. Grants- A grant is money that’s given for a specific purpose that you may not have to pay back. If you qualify and follow the terms and conditions of why the money’s being given, it’s basically money you don’t have to pay back, it’s free money.

2. Loans- Some Direct Loans from the Government are as low as ZERO PERCENT, while others may only be as high as 3%. These loans must be paid back; however with these low rates, they are still a very good deal. Loans with low interest rates are normally made to entrepreneurs, homeowners and developers. In addition if you have been turned down by a bank, you may be able to borrow up to 0,000 with a special Small Business Administration (SBA) program that guarantees the loan.

3. Subsidies- Many states will help pay part of the interest on a loan you obtain from a local lender. You may also be able to obtain tax incentives such as tax rebates and tax credits with some Government programs to help subsidize your expenses.

Grant Sources

]]>

There are 3 major sources of national grants funding, Federal, State and Local which include counties, cities, towns and villages. The mistake many people make is that they might only try calling a government agency such as HUD, but HUD doesn’t disperse the money in many of their programs. It goes instead to the local areas and it’s the local governments that disperse the money. For example HUD has CDBG (Community Development Block Grants) money with over .7 billion available in 2007, so you would have had to contact the local government to find out what CDBG funding was available in your area and what the qualifications were.

Another little known fact is that 23% of the budget for the Federal and State government has to be made available to small business to compete with. The SBA (Small Business Administration) targets their funding to businesses with million or less in revenues and 500 or less employees.

In addition, these sources have a lot of programs which target funding for minorities, disabled people, veterans and WOMEN.
