A chiropractor is a doctor who specializes in musculoskeletal and nervous system problems. It is the belief of the chiropractic community that problems in these areas can cause adverse health issues for the individual including lowered resistance to disease, illness and injury. Chiropractors manipulate the spine to realign spinal joints in their patients. By doing so, patients are expected to experience increased health without the assistance of drugs or surgery. Instead, chiropractors expect the boy will heal itself once the spine and spinal joints are in proper alignment. Additionally, chiropractors consider and address other lifestyle factors which are commonly recognized as significantly affecting health such as diet, rest, exercise, heredity and environmental factors; offering recommendations for changes which are expected to improve the patients overall health.

Famous People and The Colleges They Attended

Famous People went to college too, over on College Crunch they have come up with a list of famous people and highlighted what colleges they went too. What is even cooler is these archaic photos they seemingly dropped all over the page. Where they found that aged photo of Steve Jobs is beyond me but its rather humorous. Imagine this could be you in a few years. Famous and on someones list. Although I doubt it unless you find your college pretty quickly.

Do celebrities influence your college selection choice? I am sure they do if they are athletes. I can imagine an athlete may want to follow in the footsteps of an idol. But what about normal folks. Do we attend the school that our fathers attended because we look up to them, or do we come to our own conclusion?

In Economic Crisis Money For College is tough to find

The economic crisis isn’t just shrinking retirement funds. Many families are watching the money they put away for their children’s college tuition dissipate.

Let your financial aid officer know what your specific situation is. If it’s changed significantly, you may be eligible for more aid than you were in the past. A drastic loss of income in the family can change your eligibility for financial aid.

One thing I would strongly recommend is setting up a secondary savings fund for misc. college expenses that before you were not saving for. Such things as food,and other expenses that maybe you werent planning on setting aside. With the rising cost of college and economic hard times it can never be enough to set aside additional savings.

You can also use services like BillShrink, a service that will help you save money on common things like cell phone plans. Take the money you save from Bill Shrink and push it into a savings account for future expenses and you will be much better prepared for educational expenses in the future.

Unigo:Social Networking and College Reviews

I just stumbled upon a website that looks pretty darn interesting and will definetly appeal to people who read this website. It is called Unigo.com.

Unigo appears to combing social networking, with the college selection process, including search, and user generated reviews. It looks like it could be a pretty helpful site if it gains transaction by college students and high schoolers alike.

Unigo is a new platform for college students to share reviews, photos, videos, documents, and more with students on their campus and across the country.

It’s also the best place for high school students to find out what life is really like at America’s colleges, and to make friends to help them find the school that’s right for them.

Unigo is the result of a nationwide grassroots movement to get the truth out about college life, and it’s growing bigger every day. Want to join?

Should You LiveBlog A Class Discussion?

This is an offtopic post i stumbled upon the subject from a techblog I regularly read.

It’s quite common these days for people to “live blog” or “live Twitter” different conferences or events they’re attending, filling in others what’s happening in near real time. However, what happens when someone does that in a college class? Already, there are some professors struggling with the fact that students use the internet during class, but they’re not at all happy about the idea that they might not just be using the internet to surf around — but to report to others what’s happening inside the classroom. The issue is discussed in detail by Mark Glaser in his latest MediaShift column after an NYU professor told her students to stop blogging or Twittering things about her class.

Personally I am in favor of liveblogging class discussions to bring a collective discussion offline to what the professor has to say. If teachers aren´t into this i would say lets find some new professors.
