New York City Reaches a Milestone in Effort to Improve Quality of Care through Information Technology
June 22, 2010 – The Health Department today announced that it has exceeded its goal of bringing 2,000 doctors into the digital age through the Primary Care Information Project, a groundbreaking effort to improve preventive health care by introducing electronic health records into community-based medical practice. For the more than 1.5 million New York City patients treated by these doctors, advanced technology offers customized alerts for overdue preventive screenings and potential drug interactions, as well as best-practice guidelines for treatment. Doctors enrolled in the Primary Care Information Project can also give patients online access to their medical histories and print visit summaries to remind them of at-home instructions.

"This site will help you find the scholarship and enjoyment in studying Social Studies. A dual focus will consist of topics for information purposes and topics for help with homework, papers, etc. After all, history is not just dates, economics is not just numbers, geography is not just maps, government is not just laws, and culture is not just 'over there.' These are vibrant disciplines that tell us where we've been, how we afforded to get where we are, where our future will take us, how we can get there peacefully, and how we can share that future with other peoples." David White

NASA Hosts Virginia Scholars During Three Weeklong Academies
The Virginia Aerospace Science and Technology Scholars (VASTS) program is an interactive, on-line science, technology, engineering and mathematics learning experience that offers selected students workforce experience as well as college credit. This year is the program's third year and because of its success a third weeklong academy was added to the schedule this year to allow more students to participate. The academies will be held June 26-July 2, July 10-16 and July 24-30.
While at NASA, scholars will use what they learned on-line by designing and implementing plans for a human journey to Mars. They will also tour various facilities, build and test robots and talk with NASA scientists, engineers and technologists.
The Virginia Aerospace Science and Technology Scholars program is modeled after a distance-learning program designed at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Texas. The Virginia program is managed by the Virginia Space Grant Consortium.

Drilling Around the Law Report hydrofracturing
Fracking: Live chat with EWG & 'Gasland' director Josh Fox
Josh Fox's new documentary "Gasland" looks at negative results for communities from drilling for natural gas. He dreamed up the project after his family was offered some $100,000 by a company to prospect on their land in Northeastern Pa.
The film focuses on the health and environmental dangers involved in drilling for natural gas. It's the work of director Josh Fox, who started the project after his family in Northeastern Pennsylvania was offered nearly $100,000 from an energy company to take their 19.5 acres of land for hydraulic fracturing. Fox traveled to towns across America where land, water, animals and people have been negatively impacted by natural gas drilling.
