“Growing up in a very rural and remote area in Colorado's San Luis Valley - one of the poorest counties in the United States - essentially created the framework of values from which I operate.

Focused, productive, successful mornings generate focused, productive, successful days - which inevitably create a successful life - in the same way that unfocused, unproductive, and mediocre mornings generate unfocused, unproductive, and mediocre days, and ultimately a mediocre quality of life.

“Helping children at a level of genuine intellectual inquiry takes imagination on the part of the adult. Even more, it takes the courage to become a resource in unfamiliar areas of knowledge and in ones for which one has no taste. But parents, no less than teachers, must respect a child's mind and not exploit it for their own vanity or ambition, or to soothe their own anxiety.” MindChildrenHelpingParentImaginationLevelsTeacherTasteAnxietyAmbitionIntellectualAdultsResourcesAreasGenuineVanityInquiryExploitsUnfamiliarHelping Children Author:Dorothy H Cohen
“Right now, we continue to see demand at very strong levels. It's tough to find a Wii now. If we hit 100 stores in the area, we would find Wiis in only 20 percent of them today.

And so with that kind of demand, it doesn't suggest the need for any pricing actions.” IfsNeedsKindTodayActionStrongLevelsRight NowDemandPercentToughAreasCleanStoresVery StrongDecemberPipelinePricingRetailersWii Author:Cammie Dunaway

“Much of the attention on oceans has portrayed oceans as a villain. Warm water strengthened Hurricane Katrina that pounded Louisiana. Rising sea level will flood islands and coastal areas.
