The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

The BBC on Monday reported that Scotland is offering 100 pounds — a little more than $175 — to every adult in the land to develop and improve their computer skills.

(Sounds like the time is right for me to re-explore my Scottish heritage. I could use $175 even on my most flush days.)

The Scottish Executive already offered some low-income or unemployed residents 220 pounds ($390) to pay for a year of coursework to get them back into the workforce, the BBC reported, but this extension will be available to everyone in Scotland over the age of 18.
