"On the morning of December 19, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright achieved one of mankind's greatest feats: the first controlled flight. This revolutionized the way the world operated. Countries reacted, hiring engineers to replicate what the Wright brothers had accomplished while also trying to buy rights to the flying machine. Changes were made for the better of civilization reforming not only warfare but also the transportation of people, money, mail, and goods."

"How will we remember 2011? On a broad level, many would agree the past year has been a difficult one with the economic recession, social upheavals and political differences weighing on the minds of many. And at times, the discourse on the state of education in 2011 seemed to reflect this same uncertainty found elsewhere in society, as debates raged on topics such as firing teachers, NCLB reauthorization and fair teacher evaluations."
