The nation’s happiest students with the best quality of life are at Rice University, according to the 2012 edition of the Princeton Review’s “The Best 376 Colleges.” And that’s according to the students.

For the third year in a row, the students surveyed for the annual college guide ranked Rice No. 1 for best quality of life. The new edition also ranks Rice No. 1 for happiest students.

The rankings are based on a survey of 122,000 students at 376 schools during 2010-11 and the previous two school years. An average of 325 students at each school participated in the survey. Only about 15 percent of America’s 2,500 four-year colleges, plus three colleges outside the U.S., are profiled in the book.

Looking for a high quality assisted living facility can be a stressful experience for older adults and their families. The challenge starts when we ask, “What is high quality?” Dr. Leslie Morgan suggests a more helpful question: “What facility would best meet the individual personality and needs of my loved one?”

“Quality Assisted Living” provides results from a study on perceptions of what constitutes quality of life in assisted living facilities, funded by the National Institute on Aging. In this video, Morgan explains how her research team completed in-depth interviews with residents, staff and family members to tease apart the notion of “quality.” The book they’ve delivered is a down-to-earth, accessible discussion of topics ranging from dining preferences to housing regulations to financial issues, in residents’ own words.

Morgan is a professor of sociology at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and a researcher with UMBC’s Center for Aging Studies. For more information on “Quality Assisted Living” see http://goo.gl/Oedvc.

Weight loss is a multi-billion dollar a year industry. Despite this huge market, many people struggle with programs and products that over promise and under deliver. People are left feeling frustrated and discouraged because their weight loss goals have not been met. The problem is that most of the information available today does not address the major obstacles to weight loss.

Hawthorn University faculty member Dr. Maki has developed an effective weight management program and will discuss the following three major weight loss roadblocks he has identified:
• Hormonal Imbalance
• Neurotransmitter Imbalance
• Food Allergies

Losing weight is a complex biochemical process. If these three roadblocks are not properly addressed, success will be limited. In this webinar you will learn the essential solutions to achieve your healthy weight loss goals, and for the clients you work with.

Robert Maki, ND has a passion for helping people live an emotionally balanced and physically thriving life. Since 2003, Dr. Maki has helped hundreds of patients lose weight, restore health and improve their overall quality of life.

Since a young age, Dr. Maki has always had a fascination with health and medicine. He certainly practices what he preaches, following a consistent diet and exercise regimen to maintain his energy and vitality. After creating a radically new lifestyle based on wellness in his mid 20′s and seeing amazing changes, Dr. Maki became inspired to base his career path on helping others reclaim their health and purpose in life.

Dr. Maki received a bachelor’s degree in Biology from the College of St. Scholastica, and a Doctorate degree in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in 2003. Dr. Maki is board certified and state licensed in California to practice medicine.

Dr. Maki maintains his private practice in San Francisco, CA, which is focused on weight loss and other hormonal problems such as diabetes and thyroid issues. In addition to his practice, Dr. Maki is a faculty member at Hawthorn University.
