Principi today announced that for the first time in its history the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is providing grants to organizations that care for homeless veterans in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.'Just three years ago, VA supported 43 homeless programs that provided about 1,250 transitional housing beds in just 24 states,' said Principi.

- Monthly federal payments to 136 living recipients of the Medal of Honor are rising 67 percent this month. Since at least World War I, the federal government's agency for veterans has paid a monthly stipend to holders of the military's highest decoration for combat valor. Under the new rates, the payments will rise from $600 monthly to $1,000 monthly. 'This increase reflects in small part the thanks of President Bush and a grateful nation for the uncommon valor and bravery of these veterans,' said VA Secretary Anthony J. Principi. |

- Before we get to discussing how the new technologies can help the small- and medium-enterprises in emerging markets (SMEEMS) become more productive, let us discuss the characteristics of these organisations. They are the third tier of the enterprise pyramid, behind the large companies and the SMEs in the developed markets, from whom they are quite different. SMEs are not very IT-focused. For many, IT is an after-thought. Part of the reason is that these enterprises do not necessarily have a dedicated IT department. |
