“Man’s cultural journey and search for truth through his religions and faiths is the only true road that we all have in common as human beings and we believe that this is one of the reasons that Stonehenge attracts more and more visitors every year.”

http://www.stonehenge.cc , which may receive in excess of 1.5 million on line visitors a year, will act for many as a powerful portal to that search for truth. In addition, it will become an entrance point to a new internet news network that is dedicated to forwarding helpful positive news that assists in man’s spiritual rise and search for truth.

The website contains a unique perspective on the history and purposes of Stonehenge.

“The sacred sites of Britain still have a job to do and a role to play and however advanced our culture becomes, these locations are icons and are markers on a journey that will ultimately take us to the stars and the galaxies and universes beyond them. If this acquisition assists in that journey to any degree, then we will be delighted,” said John Mappin.

With Bank Off America out of the Picture Hedge Funds and Mortgage Funds Become the Preferred Choice

In a somewhat surprising move, Bank of America is ceasing its wholesale lending business amid the ongoing turmoil in the mortgage industry.

Santa Rosa, CA, October 07, 2010 — Recent moves to stamp out wholesale lending have left very few big players in the space, with Chase and SunTrust believed to the be the most popular options left the wholesale market has now turned over to Hedge Funds and Mortgage Funds .In the state of California the obvious choice for a Private Money Loan is a company out of the San Francisco Bay Area – OurfundsOnline.com A private Money Mortgage Funding Unit http://www.OurfundsOnline.com

“We are now faced with the same kind of situation that we were with TARP, where the banks just sit on the money and they don’t get it in the hands of people that need it, then it’s going to be a colossal failure many banks surveyed said that their company is currently hearing from 20,000 people a month inquiring about financing, about a 25-percent increase from pre-recessionary levels.And only about 2% of those eventually are given a loan.”

Rohit Arora, who co-founded the New York-based website Biz2Credit ( http://www.biz2credit.com ) to help small businesses get financing, said credit is virtually frozen right now and the government’s main lending arm – the Small Business Administration – has virtually stopped since the end of May, when TARP-assisted programs elapsed.

“Most of the mainstream banks are not lending money to small businesses in spite of all the announcements they (government) keep making,” insisted Arora, adding 85 percent of small businesses are making getting a loan a priority right now before interest rates start climbing again. “Community banks and smaller banks have started coming back, but there’s a lot of pressure from regulators that if they’re lending money they need to be more conservative.”so they end up denying any loan with a credit score under 720 and at least 30% down payment.Those are the same numbers Hard Money lenders use to approve their loans.Many business owners have given up on the banks ,they figure why wait 45 days to be denied a loan when they can get a Hard Money loan in 7-10 days keep it for a year or two make the interest only payments and just hope that the lending guidelines change when they come around to refinancing their loans.

When your looking for your next loan we recommend trying Ourfundsonline.com ( http://www.ourfundsonline.com ) they do not underwrite loans for the secondary market.And most importantly they make the rules and use their experience to make loans happen.Simply put they are the bank/lender a vast group of investors who have been working with us for the past 20 years and trust us to evaluate the equity position we are taking on.We are a equity based lender ,we care not about credit scores, previous foreclosure and/or bankruptcy with us all borrowers are the same depending on down payment or the equity position ( http://www.ourfundsonline.com ) we hold as collateral.

Napeville, IL, October 06, 2010 — Vision Infonet Inc announced today that MDCare EMR, Version 4.2 is 2011/2012 compliant and was certified as an EHR Module on 10/1/2010 by the Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT®), an ONC-ATCB, in accordance with the applicable ELIGIBLE PROVIDER certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The 2011/2012 criteria support the Stage 1 meaningful use measures required to qualify eligible providers and hospitals for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

“We believe this certification validates that MDCare EMR is the leading EHR software. The eligible providers by using MDCare EMR/PMS technology as part of their criteria to qualify for Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) incentive payments to receive $44,000 to $63,750 in federal stimulus dollars by becoming “meaningful users” of EHR Systems.

Companies offering ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certified EHR modules may return to test additional criteria and certify their products as Complete EHRs later. Companies certifying products early in the ONC-ATCB certification process must quickly adapt their products to meet the evolving nature of the NIST test procedures, particularly for electronic prescribing. ONC-ATCB product certification updates will be available at http://www.cchit.org as they occur.

“CCHIT is pleased to be testing and certifying products so that companies are now able to offer these products to providers who wish to purchase and implement certified EHR technology and achieve meaningful use in time for the 2011-2012 incentives,” said Karen M. Bell, M.D., M.S.S., Chair, CCHIT.

2011/2012 certification conferred by CCHIT does not represent an endorsement of the certified EHR technology by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services nor does it guarantee the receipt of incentive payments.

MDCARE is a proven solution for front office, administrative, clinical, as well as revenue cycle management. “As a result of the investment made in creating an efficient and robust product, we can offer an integrated certified Electronic Health Record and Practice Management System that adapts to the provider’s practice with customization as our key feature.”

LAN Systems Teaches Smart Grid and Network Security at 2010 Southeastern Distribution Apparatus School

LAN System, a leading Atlanta Computer Support company, presented the topics of Smart Grid and Network Security at the 2010 Southeastern Distribution Apparatus School.

Norcross, GA, October 05, 2010 — LAN System, a leading Atlanta Computer Support company, presented the topics of Smart Grid and Network Security at the 2010 Southeastern Distribution Apparatus School. Smart Grid topics and initiatives were the focus at this year’s school.

A Smart Grid primer class was taught by Chuck Newton of Newton-Evans Research Group and Mary Hester of LAN Systems. Topics included what utilities are currently doing to support the grid and a discussion of initiatives to incorporate the latest technology for electric utilities. SCADA, communication, monitoring and database systems will all benefit from the increased priority and awareness of the importance of the power grid. For years, utilities have implemented technologies that contribute to an autonomous grid. “The Intelligent or Smart Grid is not a new concept for electric utilities,” said LAN Systems CEO, Mary Hester. ( http://www.lansystems.com ) “Utilities have been working toward this goal for many years. With the support of government and consumers, our dream of a smart, secure grid is closer than ever.”

In addition to the Smart Grid primer, a class on Network Security was taught by LAN Systems ( http://www.lansystems.com ) Senior Systems Engineer, Forrest Thompson. The course centered on protecting computer systems from outside attacks by securing the system and training users. Threats like viruses and malware were discussed with specific examples. Forrest stressed practicing safe computing and offered tips on how to keep from falling victim to common attacks.
The utility industry recognizes the vastness of considerations that are part of Smart Grid. Schools and seminars, like the SE Distribution Apparatus School, provide a unique opportunity for utility professionals to learn about the latest technology and discuss the most relevant issues.

About Southeastern Distribution Apparatus School:
The Southeastern Distribution Apparatus School & Conference is sponsored by Utility Technology Association. The school provides a forum for electric utility personnel to discuss best practices, procedures, new technologies, and common problems with peers and representatives from industry. The school is open to anyone interested and involved in these areas. For more information, visit: http://www.utilitytech.org

Hard Money Lender in the San Francisco Bay Area Helps Five Homeowners From Foreclosure

Lending criteria for hard money mortgages are fairly simple. The loan is based on the value of the subject property either real estate owned or about to be purchased by a borrower.

Santa Rosa, CA, October 04, 2010 — We need Private money loans in California from $100,000, and up to 10,000,000 we love both commercial and residential ( http://www.ourfundsonline.com ) and we are a fast funding outfit that bases our loans entierely on equity. We are California # 1 equity based lender and have just decided to raise our loan to value from 65% to 70% loan to value of the property. In general, hard money mortgages are used for commercial purposes. However, they can also be applied to residential properties. In this instance, the loan is generally referred to by its more genteel name: a non-conforming mortgage.

Lending criteria for hard money mortgages ( http://www.ourfundsonline.com ) are fairly simple. The loan is based on the value of the subject property either real estate owned or about to be purchased by a borrower. If the borrower is buying property, the “value” of the real estate is defined as the actual purchase price of the property. If the borrower needs hard money for a refinance situation, the value is determined by a written real estate appraisal.

If you are looking for a hard money refinance loan, the lender will want to know when you purchased the property and what you paid for it. If you bought a property a month ago for a specific sum, the lender will be disinclined to lend you more than that purchase price. Once you own the property for about a year, especially if you have put some money, sweat equity, or both into the property, ( http://www.ourfundsonline.com ) you can get a new appraisal and get a loan based on the new, improved value of the property. This is called seasoning. Be sure you have seasoned your property for 3 months before going out for a refinance mortgage at a significantly higher value figure than what you paid for it.

Once it has three months seasononing we fund loans to borrowers with unique challenges, and who do not have the time or are unable to seek financing from traditional banking sources. We utilize our own resources to fund loans – when we commit, you may be confident of the timing and outcome we promise and we deliver on our word.

NO Rules! Ourfundsonline.com ( http://www.ourfundsonline.com ) does not underwrite loans for a secondary market. We make the rules and use our experience to make loans happen. Simply put we are the bank our vast group of investors have been working with us for the past 20 years and trust us to evaluate the equity position we are taking on. We are a equity based lender ,we care not about credit scores, previous foreclosure and/or bankruptcy with us all borrowers are the same depending on down payment or the equity position ( http://www.ourfundsonline.com ) we hold as collateral.
