"The partnership enables us to provide proven programs like the CNP Course for returning veterans who wish to enter the IT industry, administered through Atlantis University, which is a VA-certified premier program. This aligns perfectly with our online IT training, covering topics and industry-recognized certifications in Microsoft, CompTIA, A+, Network+ and Security+, CCNA, Soft Skills, Windows Server, CISSP, and more."
Both companies not only pride themselves on providing qualified veterans with the opportunity to learn the necessary professional training and skills to become successful in technology-related occupations, they also work closely with employers to find their veteran students jobs.

1 step closer to a blood test for Alzheimer's
2013-05-01
Australian scientists are much closer to developing a screening test for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease.
They identified blood-based biological markers that are associated with the build up of a toxic protein in the brain which occurs years before symptoms appear and irreversible brain damage has occurred.
"Early detection is critical if we are to make any real difference in the battle against Alzheimer's, giving those at risk a much better chance of receiving treatment earlier, before it's too late to do much about it," said Dr Samantha Burnham from CSIRO's ...

Because current treatment options are not effective, there is a great need for new PEL therapies. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Juan Carlos Ramos and colleagues at the University of Miami used an immunocompromised mouse model of PEL to determine the efficacy of Bortezomib/Vorinostat combination therapy, ...
