HOBOKEN, NJ, May 31, 2011 (Press-News.org) eLearners.com today revealed the top five reasons military service members should consider an online MBA program. According to the Graduate Management Admission Council, on average, 40,000 individuals separate from the U.S. military each year, of which, about 1,000 choose to attend MBA programs. For active duty military that do not want to wait until they have left the service to pursue an MBA, an online program can be an excellent option. Online education has long been a popular choice for service members due to its flexible scheduling and convenience.
From research conducted by eLearners.com, here are the top 5 reasons military service members should consider an online MBA:
1) Earning an MBA is a natural transition for those who serve in the military because the leadership experience and skills they gain during their service can be directly applied to both their business education and a career in business after they are discharged.
2) An online MBA can be pursued from anywhere in the world and one's ability to complete their coursework is unaffected by deployment or reassignment as long as they have Internet access.
3) For service members that plan a career in the military, earning an MBA can result in promotions.
4) For service members that expect to separate from the military, earning an MBA while still enlisted can ease the transition into civilian employment and make them competitive candidates for higher responsibility, higher paying positions.
5) Online MBA programs are offered by a variety of accredited institutions, including Arizona State University, Penn State and the University of Florida, so military students can be confident that they're getting a high quality education, but without being restricted to a campus location.

Noncoding RNA may promote Alzheimer's disease
2011-05-31
Researchers pinpoint a small RNA that spurs cells to manufacture a particular splice variant of a key neuronal protein, potentially promoting Alzheimer's disease (AD) or other types of neurodegeneration. The study appears in the May 30 issue of The Journal of Cell Biology (www.jcb.org).
Like a movie with an alternate ending, a protein can come in more than one version. Although scientists have identified numerous proteins and RNAs that influence alternative splicing, they haven't deciphered how cells fine-tune the process to produce specific protein versions. Four years ...

Can stress increase the risk of multiple sclerosis?
2011-05-31
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Contrary to earlier reports, a new study finds that stress does not appear to increase a person's risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS). The research is published in the May 31, 2011, print issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
"While we've known that stressful life events have been shown to increase the risk of MS episodes, we weren't certain whether these stressors could actually lead to developing the disease itself," said study author Trond Riise, PhD, with the University of Bergen in Bergen, Norway. ...

E-waste, or electronic waste, ...

Prevent Data Loss with ixDownload.com Latest Data Recovery Software Guide
2011-05-31
Albert Einstein was once thought to have said that the only thing limitless in the universe is human stupidity. While human error may seem like such a mundane and innocent reason for data loss, it actually makes up a large chunk of data loss situations. Even though news of virus attacks and trojan attack site proliferation tend to grab headlines more, the bulk of data loss involves something simple as deleting the wrong file and instinctively emptying your computer desktop's recycling bin. While this happens to the best of us, it is natural to feel like a stupid dummy for ...
Climate played big role in Vikings' disappearance from Greenland
2011-05-31
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — The end of the Norse settlements on Greenland likely will remain shrouded in mystery. While there is scant written evidence of the colony's demise in the 14th and early 15th centuries, archaeological remains can fill some of the blanks, but not all.
What climate scientists have been able to ascertain is that an extended cold snap, called the Little Ice Age, gripped Greenland beginning in the 1400s. This has been cited as a major cause of the Norse's disappearance. Now researchers led by Brown University show the climate turned colder ...

2011-05-31
Motorists looking for cheap car insurance for young drivers should take note of pending changes to legislation due to take effect from spring of this year, says car insurance specialist Quinn Direct.
Current legislation allows motor vehicles to be taxed but uninsured, providing the vehicle is not parked or used on public roads. Once pending legislation comes into effect, motorists without minimum insurance cover will be breaking the law.
As of spring 2011, the UK off-road vehicle law will change. This change requires all vehicles that are permanently or temporarily ...
