MIDLOTHIAN, IL, May 29, 2011 (Press-News.org) The list honors the top 7 percent of franchises doing the most to recruit America's veterans as franchisees. "The list was created three years ago out of demand from military veterans, many of whom want to start or own their own business but are unclear where to begin," said Sean Collins, General Manager for G.I. Jobs. "Military veterans can execute a plan, lead employees, and are trained to overcome adversity. Combine this background and work ethic with an established franchise system and you have greatly increased the odds of the business succeeding."
The list, first created in 2009, satisfies veterans' need to know which franchise they should pursue, which ones give them the best financial incentives and training, and which franchises have the highest number of veteran franchisees. The 2011 list was compiled through exhaustive research by G.I. Jobs in which thousands of franchises nationwide were polled.
"It is a great honor to be recognized as a Military Friendly Franchise and we are proud to have been on the list each year since its' inception," said Barb Moran, President and CEO of Moran Industries, Inc. "Military veterans are excellent business owners. The dedication and drive that service men and women have shown our country translates well into the skill set needed to be a successful business owner."
Since 2002, Moran Industries has offered a discount to military veterans through the International Franchise Association's VetFran program. "We are committed to helping veterans succeed in business and I am thrilled that we can assist with discounts through the VetFran program. I believe this is a great way to show respect for the men and women who have served our country."

New treatment dissolves blood clots in brain tissue
2011-05-29
A new treatment that treats a subset of stroke patients by combining minimally invasive surgery, an imaging technique likened to "GPS for the brain," and the clot-busting drug t-PA appears to be safe and effective, according to a multicenter clinical trial led by Johns Hopkins researchers.
The novel treatment, detailed for the first time at this week's European Stroke Conference in Hamburg, Germany, was developed for patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), a bleed in the brain that causes a clot to form within brain tissue. This clot builds up pressure and leaches ...

Falling on deaf ears
2011-05-29
How can someone with perfectly normal hearing become deaf to the world around them when their mind is on something else? New research funded by the Wellcome Trust suggests that focusing heavily on a task results in the experience of deafness to perfectly audible sounds.
In a study published in the journal Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, researchers at UCL (University College London) demonstrate for the first time this phenomenon, which they term 'inattentional deafness'.
"Inattentional deafness is a common everyday experience," explains Professor Nilli Lavie ...

The importance of 'inner values' -- female sparrows test the genetic make-up of their mates
2011-05-29
How do females select partners? Darwin's initial idea that the fittest males would be the most desirable and would therefore be most likely to secure partners has represented a cornerstone of evolutionary theory since the publication of "The Descent of Man" in 1871. Darwin proposed that secondary sexual characteristics enabled females to see at a glance which male was "best", i.e. best for every female. This male would be the chosen partner as he would pass on the best possible genes to the next generation, thereby increasing the fitness of the species.
Towards the ...
