New school years often mean changes, and the one that starts here Monday is no different.
And while most of the changes are somewhat subtle and not always noticeable to the general public, the biggest change at Big Spring Independent School District will be obvious to everyone.
Construction on four new elementary campuses, part of a $60 million renovation of the school district's infrastructure, will be in full swing during the coming school year and officials are promising to do everything they can to keep disruptions and inconveniences to a minimum.
Summertime is almost over, but that doesn't mean fun at the pool has to stop entirely.

Playmobil Funpark
A great funpark with all kinds of playing possibilities for your kids. It is easy to stay all day with activities like climbing, water related games, gold digging, adventure tree house. there is an indoor playing area, but the outdoor is much bigger. Play in the giant Playmobil castle or the pirate ship.
Or just play with all the Playmobil there is in the indoor area. Watch your kids closely and you know exactly what to buy in the shop afterwards.
Don't bring a lot of food or drinks! The food and drinks are tasty and are a real cheap compared to other prices.
Playmobil Funpark is an attractive mcuh cheaper alternative for the bigger attractionparks which are a lot more expensive to go to and offer the same amount of fun or less for the smaller kids!
Kids untill about 10-12 yrs. will love this place.
One warning though try to avoid the Playmobil shop if you can't say the word no to your kids! That's the place to loose your money here! But compared to the noraml prices of Playmobil in the toystores they are again cheap!
Under 3 yrs. Free of Charge
3 yrs. and older € 5,50
Opening hours
daily between 9:00 and 19:00 hours during summerseason.

Zirndorf Restaurants
Nice greek restaurant in the towncentre of Zirndorf!
Favorite Dish: Gyros meat was fabulous, as well as the famous Baklava! -
Just listening and trying to follow Mr. Cosmo in his action is a big effort for everyone. He is so fast and hasty, one almost thinks it's is a motion picture in fast mode.
But this guy is unbelievably nice for his gusts especially for the kids. He has great choice of pizza over 60 very tasty different ones for a very nice price.
The restaurant is not a very cosy place, but the appearance of Mr. Cosmo makes a visit worth while.
Monday's he's closed he needs his rest!
Favorite Dish: We had pizza, which was great but also fine nudels etc.
Zirndorf Shopping
Before you drive home you simply have to buy Playmobil here. It is almost half the price than in normal shops at home in Holland. May be there is a huge difference in price also with your own country.
What to buy: Playmobil ofcourse!
What to pay: Whatever you want to give your kids! Expect to spend more than you originlly planned if you like Playmobil yourself.

Super Simple Quilts #2 from Alex Anderson & Liz Aneloski offers 3 quilt designs, 3 fabric styles in 3 sizes with 3 layer-securing methods and 3 binding techniques. These quilts are perfect for beginners or fast quilts for the more experienced.
Super Simple Quilts #2
Back Cover InformationThree all-new quilts in one, three times the fun!
From the AuthorsI often have the pleasure of brainstorming with Liz. I always treasure the time together. We each bring our own perspective to the table, and more often than not, they are keenly in sync. One such occasion was in the recent past. We were chatting about what sort of book was needed. As usual, life took its twists and turns, and that conversation was left on the back burner, or so I thought. Several months later I received a call from Liz, and she wanted to show me "something." Bingo, her quilts hit the nail on the head. She asked if I would be interested in providing the general quiltmaking instructions for the book and before we knew it, Liz and I were co-authors! We are both very excited about this collaborationfast, fun, simple projects, perfect for the beginner or the seasoned quilter who wants a quick project, in perfect C & T style. Alex Over the many years that Alex and I have known each other, our relationship has developed through many different experiences: quilt show chairman and vendor, quilting friend/parents, editor and author and now co-authors. The fun just never ends. With this book we have combined Alex's expertise in quiltmaking knowledge, with my design and project writing skills. I hope you have fun with the simple designs, techniques and many options that await you. Liz

Verizon's Samsung GALAXY Nexus no longer supports Google Wallet
Google Wallet will no longer be supported on Verizon's Samsung GALAXY Nexus |
Just like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park had to use frog DNA to reproduce, life finds a way. In other words, we wouldn't be surprised to see some type of workaround from the developer community. In the meantime, we guess for those Verizon customers with the Samsung GALAXY Nexus, it's back to using real cash or plastic credit cards to make purchases.

Typical Verizon bs...
13. Jeromeo (Posts: 135; Member since: 11 Jan 2010)
As a user of the International, Unlocked Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile, I find it a sham to use the Nexus name under Verizon. It's simply not an unlocked, free, stock device. That version is carrier bastardized; my version is not.
17. squeeb (Posts: 99; Member since: 02 Dec 2011)
Couldn't agree more. My LTE nexus got destroyed at Busch Gardens and it was like a blessing in disguise. I'm now with T-mobile and enjoying my Jelly Bean :)
20. lsutigers (Posts: 615; Member since: 08 Mar 2009)
I couldn't agree more. Verizon should have done what Sprint did, even if you're working on your own payment system (ISIS / Sprint Touch), make Google Wallet available to users and once ISIS is released then you can release a software update to disable GW and enable ISIS. At least Sprint makes it as open as possible given that it's a NEXUS device. It's sad that Google has NO CONTROL even over their Nexus line. They really shouldn't even sell Nexus devices on Verizon. Look at the Jelly Bean update, while are both slow at releasing it, Verizon users are still waiting while Sprint already released it on the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S 4G.

screw ISIS...
3. mas11 (Posts: 1012; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
Damn you Verizon! I love your service, but you're pretty greedy.
4. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
There are apks with workarounds.
Look in the comments section here.
5. brkshr (Posts: 9; Member since: 22 May 2012)
Wow! Like 2 days late on this & there was a workaround within a half hour of the story originally breaking, of which you don't mention. That's pretty bad.

7. networkdood (Posts: 5248; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
Huh, mine works on my N7 and RAZR...oh well....
8. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 2741; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
Google has no clout with their own OS. That's pretty sad.
10. networkdood (Posts: 5248; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
It is called an OPEN OS.....as in moddable- not locked down and over price like other fruit companies.
14. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 2741; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
That fruit company isn't getting shafted by the carriers.
15. stealthd (Posts: 818; Member since: 12 Jun 2011)
Woah, someone's a little sensitive here. You brought Apple into this, not the person you were replying too. Being open means you can make modifications, and so can your carrier.
9. SvbZero (Posts: 27; Member since: 07 Jun 2012)
I hope Google never let's Verizon get another Nexus device.. First to carry the damn phone! And not only last to Jelly Bean..but can't even give us a timeframe!!! C'mon Google! Start controlling your own damn phones like Apple does! No excuse for not pushing 4.1 to the 1st Galaxy Nexus out . Getting pretty annoyed
11. ChafedBanana (Posts: 350; Member since: 20 Sep 2011)
What the f**k!?!?!? I dkdmt even get a chance to try it. And I have 4.1 Jelly Bean on mine and it I still get denied! I'm so sick and tired of the lameness.
12. wgaurav (Posts: 22; Member since: 17 Dec 2010)
Vz at it again.. but didnt FCC fine them for blocking tethering apps.....I hope FCC takes some action against this stupidity....VZ sucks...no JB yet for galaxy Nexus....
16. MorePhonesThanNeeded (Posts: 612; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
I don't understand why mobile carriers attempt to block consumers ability to choose a mobile pay system. This might end up in courts sooner or later and the courts will most likely smack VZW again for attempting to control consumers choices. Just give it time people, I'm already annoyed that VZW attempts to control the Nexus by locking it down, but still want to call it Nexus. Nexus is supposed to be a pure Google experience free from carrier BS and garbage.
I'm honestly for phones that can be used on any network and you just pay for the service. This way you can have any damn phone you want and choose the network that best suits your lifestyle.
18. TheRetroReplay (Posts: 236; Member since: 20 Mar 2012)
I'll never buy another Nexus phone on Verizon again and I hope that Google doesn't let them have another.
They took forever to release the Galaxy Nexus because of a disagreement between the two companies.
They block Google Wallet because they want people to use ISIS, a mobile payment method that STILL isn't out yet.
They're taking forever to roll out Jelly Bean while all other carriers have all ready rolled it out.
Verizon is making it harder and harder to want to buy phones from.
19. ericsorensen (Posts: 43; Member since: 17 Nov 2011)
I agree, but I worry there WON'T be another nexus device on Verizon due to all the friction. I really need the Verizon coverage, and won't get another locked down phone.
21. TheRetroReplay (Posts: 236; Member since: 20 Mar 2012)
I need the Verizon coverage too, but I'll probably get a phone that they heavily market as a flagship device. Like the S3 or a Droid RAZR because those devices get all the special treatment.
The Galaxy Nexus was and is still treated like a red headed step child by Verizon.

The perfect Christmas game obviously. I discovered this game in the Summer of 2013. It impacted me so much that at 12:35 AM today on Christmas day 12/25/13 I finished the game. The first thing I did this Christmas was play this game. It's that good of a representation of the Christmas season and should get anyone in the Christmas spirit. I have nothing but great words for this game as it makes me think of the girl I love this Christmas. There's so much more I have to say, but I don't want to bore anyone. The point is that this game embodies what Christmas is about. Its poetic delivery is what sets it apart from every other game. Lol I have nothing else to say other than that this game left me awestruck on a Summer night and I'm still awestruck on Christmas Day. I remember my exact thoughts were, "I wish I had discovered this on Christmas." This game is something I will likely never forget. It makes me sad to see that the author doesn't make flashes much anymore. At least he blessed us with this holiday masterpiece.
Went through a lot to find this for Christmas this year! <3 :D
Apparently occasionally random computers make it so you can't click anything. You might wanna work on that as that's what mine did. From the reviews I would guess it's a great game, exept for the no clicky buggy thing.
Man, this game is so relaxing.
The history, controls, music. Everything is relaxing.
Made my rainy sunday afternoon getting better.
Good job!!

A few years ago Oklahoma was at the top of college football when it came to offensive production. Sam Bradford then transitioned to Landry Jones and it looked like things would continue as usual. For whatever reason it feels like it hasn't. Even though this Oklahoma offense is still a top 15 offense on a national level, they just don't feel like the juggernaut they once were. Unfortunately the reality is that they still can be. Maybe it's expectations, but this is a very good Oklahoma offense and they showed that last week when they absolutely shredded the Texas Longhorns in a big time rivalry game. Kansas is coming off of a very strong defensive performance against Oklahoma State, now they'll immediately face a test that is just as difficult and perhaps even more unique when Landry Jones, Oklahoma and the Belldozer take to the field on Saturday.
QB - Landry Jones - 6'4" 218 - Sr
Blake Bell - 6'6" 254 - So
Landry Jones is the captain of the ship, Blake Bell is the guys stealing all the treasure. Jones is in a situation where he did so well early in his career that his really solid numbers three years later feel average. But Jones is a great quarterback for Oklahoma averaging 270 yards per game a 62% completion percentage and passing for 9 TD's to date. The Sooner offense has just morphed a bit during that time and that has opened the door for THE BELLDOZER! One of the better nicknames in the Big 12, Blake Bell is a goalline machine with seven rushing TD's. Sooner fans love him, he'll be the quarterback for Oklahoma next year and a great future NFL tight end. That might be a bit harsh, but at this point we haven't seen much of Bell throwing the football, all we know is that he does one of the best Tim Tebow impressions in the business.
RB - Damian Williams - 6' 208 - Jr
Dominique Whaley - 5'11" 204 - Sr
The Sooner running attack averages 6 yards per carry and they are led by Williams who averages nearly 85 per contest at 7.3 per rush. Whaley has starting experience from a year ago before being injured and he is the second leading rusher on the team with 240+ yards on the season. As a unit they average 173 per game on the ground which is middle of the pack in division one football. This isn't the Oklahoma bread and butter, but it is certainly something that they have the talent to do when they want to.
FB - Trey Millard - 6'2" 256 - Jr
I'm always fond of players who choose to leave Columbia Missouri when they get the chance. Millard has started since his freshman year and he really is a multi faceted player at the position. He can play it like a traditional fullback and lay a solid block or he can get out and make a play with the football in his hands.

The Oklahoma offensive line has been banged up this year and it was a big question mark after some initially devastating injuries. After settling in this group has been more than servicable in pass protection and in the ground game. The big questions start to rise when they are playing a top tier opponent, Notre Dame's defense comes to mind, and that might be where the full ramifications of the injury bug reveal themselves. For Kansas and this weeks game, it's still a tough matchup. The good news is it's probably a slightly more favorable one than a full strength OU line, but that doesn't mean that the Kansas front seven won't have it's work cut out for them if they want to continue to show the positive improvement we've seen this season.
WR - Trey Metoyer - 6'1" 190 - FR
WR - Justin Brown - 6'3" 214 - Jr
WR - Kenny Stills - 6'1" 190 - Jr
WR - Sterling Shepherd - 5'10" 188 - FR
Metoyer is the much heralded freshman and he's started every game, but he sits behind the other three including fellow freshman Shepherd, when it comes to total production. Stills, Brown and Shepherd account for 2/3's of the scoring in the Sooner passing game and nearly 60% of the yardage. Landry Jones does spread it around very well so there will inevitably be other names that pop up on Saturday, but these four do the bulk of the work with Brown, Stills and Shepherd leading the charge.
TE - Taylor McNamara - 6'5" 235 - FR
Brannon Green - 6'2" 250 - JR
Geneo Grissom - 6'4" 247 - SO
The tight end position is really more about run support and less about the passing game for Oklahoma at this point. Green is the only one that has recorded a reception and he has only three on the season. Grissom and Green have played a limited role, the depressing part is that both are from Kansas.

- Wal-Mart (WMT), outdoor retailer Cabela's (CAB) and start-ups are among those that offer pet insurance, an industry that's worth almost $500M.
- With spending on vet care forecast to rise 4% this year to $14.2B, and just 1% of the nation's 160M cats and dogs insured, there's plenty of room for growth. The annual rate is 13%.
- Even some employers offer animal healthcare as a perk, including one-third of Fortune 500 companies.
- Animal pharmaceutical providers that could benefit include Zoetis (ZTS), Pfizer (PFE), Merck (MRK), MWI Veterinary Supply (MWIV) and VCA Antech (WOOF).

The Capture
Mystery / Thriller
90 minutes
Directed by John Sturges
Badly injured and hunted by the police, Lin Vanner takes refuge in a priest's home, and tells him what has happened. When Vanner was working in a Mexican oil field he captured a man who was suspected of a payroll robbery, but then felt responsible when the man died in police custody. As a result of the incident, Vanner's fiancee broke off their engagement, and he resigned from his job. He later felt compelled to visit the dead man's widow and ended up working on her ranch. But, as he now explains to the priest, the past has quickly caught up with him.

Cremean, along with only five other members from the society, was selected by Cormac McCarthy Society President, Dianne Luce, to serve on a roundtable panel "The (Un)changing Face of Cormac McCarthy's Career."
Given McCarthy's commonly accepted status as one of the greatest living authors the panel primarily discussed McCarthy's novel No Country for Old Men and the Academy Award winning film of the same title. The group focused on how each of these works, along with McCarthy's winning the Pulitzer Prize for The Road, which was promptly linked with who McCarthy has been and what he has done, as well as discussions on departures and changes both personal and artistic.
Cremean will serve as President of the Western Literature Association and bring its annual conference to Spearfish next year.

Important Update
July 2012 – The House and Senate Appropriations committees have begun considering their funding bills for 2013. As budget discussions continue, we must ensure that children's literacy funding is a national priority and that the Senate funding for the Innovative Approaches to Literacy program remains intact. ACT NOW – tell Congress to support funding for children's literacy in the FY2013 budget!
June 2012 – In its education spending measure, the Senate Appropriations Committee included $29 million for the national literacy grant competition known as the Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) program. At this time, the House companion bill eliminates funding for the IAL program, which is vital to RIF and other literacy organizations, including school libraries.
January 2012 - In light of the recent congressional action to fund a new competitive grant program for children's literacy, we hope you'll join us in sending a big 'Thank You' to Congress! We are still closely monitoring developments related to federal funding and are eagerly anticipating the Department of Education's grant competition guidance.
Congress Restores Funding for Literacy Programs - Competitive Grant Program Aimed to Serve Students in Need Nationwide December 16, 2011—Funding for national literacy programs was included in the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2012, which will be signed into law by President Obama later today. The $28 million will be awarded to literacy organizations and libraries through a competitive grant process. "RIF is grateful for Congress' hard work in restoring funding for books and literacy resources for children in need. With only 1 in 300 children in poor neighborhoods owning a book and reading levels among young children stagnant and declining, access to print is more critical than ever," said Carol Rasco, President and CEO of Reading is Fundamental. "We look forward to working with the Department of Education as details of the competition are finalized."
Reading Is Fundamental for America, but Millions of children are living in the U.S. without access to books.
Preparing and motivating children to read begins with having a book. Since 1966, RIF provided an effective book distribution program serving 4 million children in 17,000 locations across every U.S. state and territory annually with the help of more than 400,000 volunteers.
In March 2011, Congress eliminated RIF's federal funding at a time when we know many families need us the most. Without this federal funding, RIF has not be able to serve naely as many of America's children most at-risk for academic failure -- 2 million fewer children! We need your help reaching out to Congress. Tell Congress you care
RIF = Real Solutions, Real Impact

I C MILTON FOREMAN ^ Convictions and imprisonment ate keeping pace with the increase in population and the attendant increase in crime in the Empire State. On June 1, 1915, there were no less than 4,U37 more inmates in the prisons, tbe reformatories and the peniten¬ tiaries of this State tban on a like date flve years ago. The State census taken under the direttion of Francis M. Hugo, Secretary of State, in June, r^eals some interesting features in connection with the inmates of the larger penal institutions. In June, 1910, the state prisons, reformatortes, penitentiaries and the New X^rk City institutions such as BlackwcH's Island, Randall's and Hart's Island, had a total of 13,315 Iniiiate.s, Within the past flvo years that numer, large as it appears at flrst glance, has grown until it is now over 17,000, to be exact, 17,352, an increase of 4,307, or nearly 1,000 a year, if the number of inmates in county jails, in lockups and minor institu¬ iions, were included, the number of New York State's residents in conflne- nieut on .lune 1 when the census man called, would be augmented by a few tiiousand more. When it is flgured that the estimated population of New Vork State is placed at ten and a quarter mllions, there ia still a mat¬ ter of over ten million enjoying their liberty. The comparative figures showing liie nuniber of inmates in the larger penal institutions of the State in 1910 and I it l.'j follow: fined in 1910. Last June the number had grown until there were 845, an Increase of 62. At the State hospital at Dannemora there are now 516 per¬ sons in comparison to 383 five years ago, an Increase of 133, or about one- third. Mattewan contains both male and female Insane, while Dannemora Is made up of insane male prisoners who have been transferred from Sing Sing, Auburn, Clinton and Great Meadow prisons as well as the re- formaties for males at Elmira and Napanoch. The population of the penitenti¬ aries of the State on June 1 last and in June, 1910, Is shown by the cen¬ sus to be as follows: 1910 Krle 319 Mon rot- 263 (Inoiidagra 373 .\lbany 214 Sow York 1187 ;yi5 672 :)14 399 180 1743 3208 Stale idlsoiis , , rtnllt'iitiarlfs . , .N'l'W Vork City Institutions . , Ki'furmatorics , . ipio , G.oyi! , 1,169 . :!,834 , 2,200 ]',tl5 I 6,»04 1,465 (i,41ty 2,434 icrca.so 012 2'JC 2,645 284 Tolul .352 4,0.:! 13,315 Sing Sing, Auburn and other State prisons had 6,904 inmates on Juue 1 last as compared with 0,092 tive years ago the same date.

The number of in¬ mates at the other State prisons fol¬ low: Great Meadow, 703; Women's Prison at Auburn; 119; Mattewan, 845; Dannemora, 516, and the State Farm for Women at Valatie, opened last October, 56, Both institutions for the criminal Insane, Mattewan and Dannemora, show increases in the number of their inmates over the past five years.

At the Western House of Refuge for Women at Albion there were 234 inmates in 1910 as compared with 248 in June I last. The New York State Reformatory for Women at Bed ford Hills had .'139 inmates flve yea'rs ago as compared with 4 16 on June 1, 19 1,"). Elmira Heformatory had a pop¬ ulation of 1,212 In 1910 in compari¬ son with 1,365 two months ago. The Eastern New York Reformatory at Napanoch had 455 Inmates in June to 415 flve years ago. The greatest increase in the num¬ ber of persons under confinement is shown in the New York City penal Institutions. In 1910 the city prison, Manhattan, familiarly known as "The Tombs." had 5 0.S prisoners. On Juno I, 1915, the nuniber had increased by 24 8. The city prison ot Brooklyn is shown by the recent census as having a total of 395 inmates as compared with 267 five years ago this time. The city prison, Qiu'i'ns, had 360 inmates on June 1 last. The prisons of the second, fourth, fifth and seventh dis¬ tricts of New Vork had 259 inmates last June. . The three workhouses showed the following population June 1, 1915: Blackwell's Island, 1,4 70; Randall's Island, 359; Hart's Island, 642; a total of 2,471 as compared wilh 995 on June 1, 1910.

My son has been here since K and he will be entering into his 3rd year at ISL... this school is awesome, I love the way everyone including the staff take pride into each and every child. teachers are wonderful, I all of my Little guys teachers are GREAT! and we communicate all the time with one another. I would recommend this school if a parent ask.
This school is great in academics! they help you when ever you ask and the staff is king and helpful, the school is terrific although on the other hand the rules are HORRIBLE. Teachers are constantly in the halls picking on kids about their uniforms, hair, socks, talking and running in the halls etc. I can go on. They make rules of the top of their heads and change rules every now and then, and we have a system that takes points of for no homework, wrong uniform, talking in the hallway etc. that is what causes kids to get put in detention sometimes put in accidentally. Ignorant teachers, not all take points of just because you didn't sign out (in the binder) to go to the bathroom or if you didn't put the date, that doesn't even make since.
Hi ! I'm a french primary teacher looking for a way to join ISL to propose them to set up a penpal link with my class here in France. I was unable to find an email address to write them. So if someone might help me to join them this would be great. Thanks a lot, Jessica
I am very disappointed with ISL due entirely to the administration. The teachers are for the most part dedicated and qualified, however key administrative positions were filled in a pinch after Katrina by unqualified parents who are still holding these jobs and doing a poor job, to say the least. Preferential treatment of related students, from discipline to perks has become so extreme, we are losing some of best youngsters. Five years post-Katrina is plenty of time to have resolved these problems, but changes don't seem likely. Moral is low, this school isn't half of what it could be, or what I'm told it used to be. We are exploring other options for next school year.
ISL is the only chartered multi language immersion school in the New Orleans area offering Spanish, French and now Chinese as the third language. The faculty and staff comes from 20 countries bringing their very diverse cultures, languages and teaching methods to the classroom. I think this year is the best year so far for the schools history - they are only 10 years old and have grown from just 2 small classrooms for Kindergartners to over 500 students in kinergarten thru 8th grade. I would highly recommend this school to anyone that is looking into an immersion school for their children.
I love this school. My daughter will be entering her 3rd year there and she can't wait to go back. What i like about this school is the diversity.
My daughter is in the 5th grade at ISL, she has been there since K. She is always recived high marks on her report card, this year she has had three teachers and one day never used her pencil. She tested extremly low on entrance exams to other schools. The school i think deminshs self esteem. I would not recommend this school to anyone. Before the storm the school was excellent. Half of the 5th grade class will not be returning.
We currently have one child attending ISL and our youngest will begin kindergarten this fall. The instructors are exceptional and the curriculum is challenging. I love the cultural diversity that ISL offers. I am very pleased with our school's growth and the improvements that are made each year. I also love that the students are happy and in such a warm, loving environment.
I went to I.S.L since it first open when I was in Kindergarten . Yes, the lower grade school is exceptional , but the middle school , not so much. My class mates and I joke about us being I.S.L's guinea pigs. I.S.L . Since I.S.L is not going to have a high school when I'm in 9th grade , because they are always trying to raise money for other thngs instead of getting the school back on its feet since the hurricane, I'm attending another school where I'll be prepared for High school. I.S.L has a great learning program even though its a mest up school , because on my entrance exam to my new school I recieved freshman honors in everything , thats amazing considering I'm entering 8th grade. Its a great education, but not a great school.
ISL is a New Orleans treasure. This is my son's second year in the French program and we absolutely love it. The teachers, staff and administration are all exceptional and they genuinely care for the growth and education of the children. I am very lucky to have discovered this treasure! It was voted one of the top charter schools in the nation. I am proud to be a part of this institution.
I have three children attending ISL. My oldest daughter is now in fifth grade. Intially we started in the Spanish program and she has impressed me tremendously with her skills in reading, writing and her accent in Spanish is as if she was a native speaker. Now she is learning French and I am amazed at the ease in which she picks it up. The school does what it can to make learning motivating, interesting and innovative. Right now, they have planted an organic garden and planted trees in the play ground. They focus on global awareness, the importance of recycling and how to be a green school. Not only is education important, but the creative aspects of every child is as well and they make sure those needs are met. Finally we were thrilled that the lunch menu offered a vegetarian option to accommodate faculty and students. We love ISL!
This is my son's second year in French at ISL. It is a wonderful school with a great curriculum. The immersion technique is a great way for children to learn other languages and cultures. ISL balances that with the culture of New Orleans very well. I am very pleased with the faculty and the staff. My son gets a lot of personal attention and he is learning a lot!
The school is definitely a top rated school. My child has succeeded academically in every level. The teachers and administration are tops in dealing with parents and community members.
International School of Louisiana (ISL) is a wonderful opportunity for students in the New Orleans area! ISL is a public charter with a focus on language immersion and community involvement. The staff, faculty, students, parents, and the neighboring community all work together to provide a great environment to promote learning and to give the students every opportunity to excel.
I love the advantages of my child attending a school like ISL. He not only has the opportunity to become fluent in Spanish or French but the parent involvement is wonderful.
We love this school. Our child is now in second grade and learning a second language which is very good at due to the teachers and all the help. We love the yoga program and chess club.
This is an excellent school. My daughter has been able to blossom in the environment provided at the International School. I would recommend this school to any parent that wants to open doors for their child or children for the future. The immersion program is amazing. The school also offers glimpses into other cultures which enables children to be open-minded about differences in cultures. I am grateful that my daughter has been afforded this opportunity.
ISL provides not only a solid basic education program as demonstrated in the above average LEAP scoring, but it offers and educational perspective which nurtures the whole child. The music, art and sports programs are very diverse. The clubs and after school programs offer extended learning opportunities such as chess, sign language, science experiment projects, rugby, horticulture and more. The level of ISL parent involvement is one of the highest in the Metro area. In today's global society public schools such as ISL should be the norm and not the exception. The students of ISL will always carry with them a whole world frame of reference throughout their lives. ISL is truly a special place.
My daughter Rebecca has been with ISL since kindergarten in the French program and will enter the 3rd grade this Fall. My 5 year year old Aimee will enter kindergarten French this Fall. My husband and I are thrilled! We initially were a bot hesitant since we were unfamiliar with this type of immersion based school. Rebecca had been in a typical parochial school for Pre-K and we wanted the best for her. I am so glad we took the risk! Rebecca is thriving, her French accent is beautiful, her grasp of the language and ability to move back and forth from English to French is amazing. I wish I had had the same opportunity when I was her age. I know that they will have fabulous career opportunities upon graduation. Meg and Scott Greenfield

Star Trek: Nemesis is a 2002 American science fiction film released by Paramount Pictures. It is the tenth feature film in the Star Trek franchise and the last of the Star Trek films to include the entire main cast of the Star Trek: The Next Generation television series. It was directed by Stuart Baird and written by John Logan (from a story developed by Logan, Brent Spiner, and producer Rick Berman). The crew of the USS Enterprise-E are forced to deal with a threat to the United Federation of Planets from a Reman clone of Captain Picard named Shinzon who has taken control of the Romulan Star Empire in a coup d'état.
Principal photography took place from November 2001 to March 2002. Jerry Goldsmith composed the film's score. The film was released in North America on December 13, 2002. The film received generally mixed reviews, with publications criticizing the film for being the least successful in the Star Trek franchise. The film went on to earn $67,312,826 worldwide and was a financial failure. Following the failure of the film and the cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise, Berman and Erik Jendresen began development on the unproduced Star Trek: The Beginning. Three years later, Viacom split from CBS Corporation and Paramount eventually rebooted the film series with Star Trek by J. J. Abrams.
During a session of the Romulan Imperial Senate, the military offers the plans to join forces with the Reman military and invade the Federation, but the Praetor refuses. As such a green thalaron radiation mist is released into the room by the military and everyone is killed. Meanwhile, the crew of the USS Enterprise-E prepares to bid farewell to long time first officer Commander William Riker and Counselor Deanna Troi, who are soon to be married on Betazed. En route, they discover a positronic energy reading on a planet in the Kolaran system near the Romulan Neutral Zone. Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Lieutenant Commander Worf, and Lieutenant Commander Data land on Kolarus III and discover the remnants of an android resembling Data. When the android is reassembled it reveals its name is B-4, and the crew deduce it to be a less advanced earlier version of Data.
Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway orders the crew to conduct a diplomatic mission to Romulus. Janeway informs Picard that the Romulan government has undergone a military coup and is now controlled by a Reman named Shinzon, saying he wants peace with the Federation and to bring freedom to Remus. This is a surprising development as the Romulans had regarded Remans as an undesirable caste used principally as slave labor and shock troops during the Dominion War, due to their long history of prejudice.
Upon their arrival on Romulus, the crew learns that Shinzon is actually a clone of Picard, following a secret experiment conducted by the Romulans to take Picard's place in Starfleet as a spy; however, he and the project were abandoned after a political change in the Romulan government left him cast away to Remus as a slave. It is there that he meets his Reman brethren and effects his rise to power. It was also on Remus where Shinzon constructed his flagship, a heavily armed warship named Scimitar, with a completely undetectable cloaking device, an arsenal of weapons, and virtually impregnable shields.
Though the diplomatic mission seems to go smoothly, the crew discovers that the Scimitar is emitting low levels of extremely dangerous thalaron radiation (the same radiation used to assassinate the Romulan senate), several unauthorized computer accesses take place aboard the Enterprise, and Troi is mentally attacked by Shinzon while she is having sex with Riker. Shinzon captures Picard and informs Picard that Shinzon is slowly dying from the accelerated ageing from his cloning process, and thus needs Picard's blood to live. Shinzon also transports B-4 aboard the Scimitar, revealing that Shinzon was behind the placing of B-4 on Kolarus III in order to lure Picard to Romulus. However, B-4 reveals himself to actually be Data — he rescues Picard and they make their escape back to their ship. Realizing that the Scimitar is a weaponized thalaron emitter with enough power to destroy all life forms in a fleet of ships as well as an entire planet, Data deduces that Shinzon is using the warship to conquer the Federation and destroy Earth.
The Enterprise races back towards Federation space, but is soon ambushed by the Scimitar, disabling the Enterprise's warp drive in the process. In the ensuing assault, the Enterprise is outmatched. Two Romulan warbirds arrive and assist in the assault, but Shinzon destroys one warbird and disables the other. Refocusing his attention on Picard, Shinzon further damages the Enterprise.
Refusing to surrender, Picard uses his heavily damaged ship to ram the Scimitar, causing moderate damage including disabling the disrupter banks. Shinzon then initializes the Scimitar's thalaron weapon in a desperate attempt to take the Enterprise down with him. Picard boards the vessel alone and faces Shinzon. Unable to prevent the weapon's activation, Picard kills Shinzon by impaling him through the abdomen with part of a metallic support strut. Data arrives with a single-use personal transporter, using it to quickly beam the Captain back to the Enterprise before destroying the ship at the cost of his life, shutting down the weapon in the process.
While the severely damaged Enterprise is under repair in a space dock in Earth orbit, Picard bids farewell to newly promoted Captain Riker who is off to command the USS Titan, to begin a true peace negotiation mission with Romulus. Picard then meets with android B-4, whereupon he discovers that Data had succeeded in copying the engrams of his neural net into B-4's positronic matrix not long before his death.
The film was cut by about a third from a much longer running time. Many of the deleted scenes in the movie were "character moments", which served to further the characters' relationships with one another and the reason why they were cut was to put more emphasis on the battle between the Enterprise-E and the Scimitar. Rick Berman has stated that about 50 minutes worth of scenes were filmed, but cut (though not necessarily all of them were usable in a final form). Around 17 minutes of deleted scenes were included on the DVD.
Nemesis was to have been the first Star Trek film to feature the character of Wesley Crusher (played by Wil Wheaton). His scenes were almost entirely cut from the film, leaving only a brief, silent cameo during the wedding (which itself is only visible in widescreen presentations, as he sits at the far end of the table). A deleted scene on the collector's-edition DVD features a brief conversation between Wesley and Picard: Wesley, now a lieutenant in operations-division gold, has returned to Starfleet and is a member of Captain Riker's engineering crew on the USS Titan.
Three "extended ending" clips were included on the two-disc edition. The first was Picard talking to Dr. Crusher about her return to Starfleet Medical and Crusher remarking how she works with a bunch of young doctors who are ready to cure the entire quadrant. The second was Geordi and Worf packing Data's possessions in his quarters. As they are cleaning up, Data's cat Spot jumps into Worf's hands and Worf states he is not a cat person. Geordi sees how Spot has taken to Worf and replies, "You are now." Immediately following this scene is the introduction of the new first officer, Commander Madden, which is included in the deleted scenes of the DVD. The third, titled "The Captain's Chair" features the goodbye scene between Riker and Picard, as well as the introduction of the new Enterprise first officer (Madden). The Captain's chair is newly installed with the special feature of automatic restraint straps that trigger when the ship goes to alert, to which Picard responds with a smile "It's about time!"
In promotional interviews for the film, Patrick Stewart stated that room for a sequel was left as B-4 begins singing, "Blue Skies."[3]
Star Trek: First Contact and Insurrection director Jonathan Frakes was not asked to direct the film; he has said that if he had been asked, he would have accepted.[4]
The music to Star Trek: Nemesis was one of the last works by veteran composer Jerry Goldsmith, who composed such previous entrees to the franchise as the Academy Award nominated score for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Star Trek: First Contact and Star Trek: Insurrection as well as the themes to the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation (arranged by Dennis McCarthy) and Star Trek: Voyager. Goldsmith had also previously collaborated with director Stuart Baird in Executive Decision and U.S. Marshalls.
The score opens with airy synthesizers under a trumpet performing an augmented triad before preceding into Alexander Courage's Star Trek: The Original Series fanfare. The score then quickly transitions into a much darker theme to accompany the conflict between the Reman and Romulan empires. Goldsmith also composed a new 5-note theme to accompany the character Shinzon and the Scimitar, which is manipulated throughout the score to reflect the multiple dimensions of the character. The score is book-ended with Goldsmith's theme from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, following a brief excerpt from the song "Blue Skies" by Irving Berlin and the original Star Trek fanfare.[5]
Star Trek Nemesis received "mixed or average" reviews. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a 37% rating, based on 157 reviews, with an average rating of 5.2/10 with the site's consensus: "Nemesis has an interesting premise and some good action scenes, but the whole affair feels a bit tired."[6] The film has earned a Metacritic score of 50% (mixed or average) from 29 reviews.[7]
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times had mixed feelings of the film, stating, "I'm smiling like a good sport and trying to get with the dialogue ... and gradually it occurs to me that "Star Trek" is over for me. I've been looking at these stories for half a lifetime, and, let's face it, they're out of gas." Ebert gave the film two out of four stars.[8] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle said that the film is a "rather hairbrained story that's relieved to a degree only by some striking visual effects and by Patrick Stewart's outstanding presence as Picard". LaSalle complained that Stewart gave Picard "integrity and wry stoicism to Nemesis, but the movie is unworthy of him".[9]
Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a positive review, commenting that the crew "indulge[s] the force of humanity over hardware in a way that George Lucas had forgotten." Gleiberman gave the film a "B-".[10] Stephen Holden of The New York Times said that the film is a "klutzy affair whose warm, fuzzy heart emits intermittent bleats from the sleeve of its gleaming spacesuit". Holden praised the scenes where the Enterprise and the Scimitar ram into each other during the final battle.[11]
Actors LeVar Burton (Geordi La Forge) and Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi) have spoken critically of Stuart Baird, criticizing him for not watching any of the episodes of The Next Generation.[12] Jonathan Frakes voiced similar criticisms of Baird, believing the film would have been much better if he himself had directed (as he had done with the previous two Trek films).[citation needed]
Nemesis was released on December 13, 2002, in direct competition with Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (released November 15, 2002), the 20th James Bond film Die Another Day (released November 22, 2002), and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (released December 18, 2002). Rick Berman (executive producer of the film) has suggested that Nemesis's performance may have been negatively affected by "the competition of other films".[13]
The film's gross domestic income was the lowest of the franchise at $43,254,409 as of September 2008. It opened at #2 in the US box office (just $200,000 behind Maid in Manhattan)[14] and was the first Trek film not to debut at #1. It earned a total of $67,312,826 worldwide, against a production budget of $60 million.[2] Internationally Nemesis, as most previous Star Trek movies, was financially most successful in Germany.[15]
On May 20, 2003, Nemesis was released on DVD in both anamorphic widescreen and full screen editions in Region 1 (it was also released on full screen VHS). This initial release contained an audio commentary by director Stuart Baird, four featurettes on the film's production, seven deleted scenes, a photo gallery, and a preview for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine on DVD at Amazon.com. Also on October 4, 2005, Star Trek Nemesis was released on UMD in widescreen for Region 1 only; it's the only Star Trek ever released on UMD.
The initial release was followed up with a "Special Collector's Edition" in Region 1 on October 4, 2005. Although this two-disc set contained several additional features, it also duplicated some of the features found in the initial release.[16]
The film was released on Blu-ray on September 22, 2009 as part of the Star Trek: The Next Generation Motion Picture Collection in the United States. It was subsequently released individually in Japan and the United Kingdom. The Blu-ray edition contains high definition bonus features not seen on previous DVD releases.[17]
