Sunday, July 5th, 2009: A lot of people with legitimate Twitter accounts are currently suffering from having their accounts suspended (late Sunday afternoon). It appears IAMP's twitter account was caught in the cross fire so we contacted twitter to inquire.
We just heard back from Twitter via email, and they said : “Spamcloud hit. We’re working on restoring accounts.”
We just need to be patient. The suspended accounts will be restored.
Update: We have no idea exactly what a “spam cloud” means. It is probably Twitter staff lingo for a massive spam attack.
Update: We have seen during previous spam attacks that Twitter tends to shoot first and ask questions later and indiscriminately lay down carpet bombing when their system comes under a spam attack. A lot of innocent-bystander accounts get massacred in the process, which they then have to restore afterwards. This is most likely what has happened again.
So those following IAMP on twitter, please be patient, we will be up and running again shortly!

A Historical Look at IAMP - Part I: The Campuses
Sometimes taking a trip down memory lane is nice so we wanted to take a second and share IAMP's rich history with our readers. The journey has been both rewarding and evolutionary; an essential component when in an ever changing and advancing industry such as medical imaging. We thought we'd break it down into 3 parts; Part I (The Campuses), Part II (The Programs), & Part III (The Future). Here's Part I...We hope you enjoy!
With its roots dating back to 1974, IAMP has held a long tradition of excellence! The Radiological Institute was established to conduct certificate programs in Radiological Sciences; the first program being Nuclear Medicine Technology. In September 1977, the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York granted the Institute its charter. In 1982, the Institute amended its charter to change its name to the Institute of Allied Medical Professions. This allowed the Institute to expand its program offerings to meet the growing needs of the health care industry. From there, it looks like this:
1984 - IAMP began its first Diagnostic Medical Sonography program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
1995 - The program was then moved to New York Presbyterian Medical Center. In the same year, an IAMP Queens Campus was established to conduct programs in Diagnostic Medical Sonography.
1998 – IAMP's St. Johns Riverside Hospital campus in Yonkers, New York was established.
2002 – IAMP's Florida campus was founded at St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach. Due to a considerable amount of growth, in 2005 the campus was relocated to Delray Medical Center.
2003 – IAMP's Georgia campus was established at St. Joseph's Hospital in Atlanta.
2006 – IAMP's St. Johns Riverside Hospital campus in Yonkers, New York was relocated to Westchester County Medical Center in Valhalla, New York.
2007 – IAMP Online was established as part of IAMP Delray Beach located at Delray Medical Center.
2008 – IAMP Queens Campus was relocated to Manhattan to join forces with the IAMP Manhattan.
Today, the Institute operates 5 campuses in 3 states: New York at IAMP Manhattan Campus & Westchester County Medical Center in Valhalla, Georgia at St. Joseph's Hospital of Atlanta; Florida at Delray Medical Center in Delray Beach; and IAMP Online, a Division of IAMP Delray Beach at Delray Medical Center.
