President Obama -- "To prepare for the jobs of tomorrow, our commitment to skills and education has to start earlier.

I Resolve to Read

Donalyn Miller -- Looking back at my reading life in 2011, I don't regret anything. The books I abandoned, my tower of unread books, the overflowing basket of bookstore receipts, my unloved Kindle, the library's audio CD of Runemarks I lost. I could consider these artifacts of reading failure or at least room for improvement, but I don't. I don't apologize for my reading habits. I just live to read another day.

Santa can make a lot more kids happy if he speaks Spanish and Creole as well as English. Although St. Nick is known more for listening than his gift of gab, children can better relate to a Santa who talks like them, advocates say.
