For a long time now the Eco Watchers Survey has been our favorite gauge of Japanese consumer sentiment.

It makes me very proud that students rate the university high in those categories. We know our students by name, not by number, ...

These survey findings underscore the fact that when Baby Boomers are asked to address the potential of Alzheimer's in their future, they are clearly not ready emotionally, psychologically or financially.

This encourages us to make even more investments to help our users achieve better business results.
