Language arts come alive with students vying with one another for the chance to put their work on the SMART Board. Learning should be fun, and technology helps me make it so.

Over the past decade, global and Asian investors have become more aware of the impact of environmental, social, and governance variables on their investments. Whether it is a question of watching companies struggle with persistent environmental challenges or evaluating the impact of labor disputes, investors in Asian equities must increasingly look at a range of global sustainability issues to assess the long-term value of companies.

My mouth is open. I just can't believe that stocks have managed to rebound so quickly. Cash flow is certainly a positive story.

The expected growth rate in energy is far above any other sector?if you take energy out of the overall universe of the companies we look at, you end up with a growth rate of about 8 percent.

We really didn't want to lose, and maybe we did get a little overexcited there for a minute. But there's nothing we can do about that. Everyone played hard.

But the places that road will take you, the things you'll experience, are worth all of the uncertainty.

It feels so good to laugh at myself. I'd probably cry my eyes out if I didn't.

That's the thing about love - it's full of possibilities. It can lead you down so many different paths. Sure, for some of us, it can lead to sadness and regret. But, for others, well, for others it can lead them to the greatest future they could've ever hoped for. Love is the most possible thing in the world.

Each part of a great painting should in itself be a great painting.

Tucker was my safe place for three years, my secure dock in a sea of indecision as I dealt with my father's illness and death. And now I had to sink or swim. It was time to let go...and move on. Slowly, I pushed off from the dock that was Tucker Montgomery and prepared to swim...praying I wouldn't drown.

In every landscape should reside jewels of abstract art waiting to be discovered.
