The inspection was carried out by three additional inspectors.
This large primary school serves the area of Selly Oak in Birmingham. The characteristics of the pupils attending the school have changed since the school was last inspected. More than half the school population now come from minority ethnic backgrounds and the proportion who speak English as an additional language is now well above average. The number of faiths represented in the school has also increased. The proportion of pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities is well below average, although the proportion with a statement of special educational needs is above average.

Overall effectiveness of the school
Grade: 2
St Edward's provides a good education for its pupils. Good leadership and management have ensured that the school has adapted well to the changing needs of its children. Strengths, such as pupils' outstanding personal development, have been maintained and important areas for improvement, such as the progress of the most able in mathematics, have been tackled successfully. All those with posts of responsibility, from governors to subject coordinators, are involved in checking the quality of what the school provides, especially the effectiveness of teaching, where governors are particularly active. This provides the school's leaders with a clear and accurate picture of its strengths and weaknesses and ensures that the school has good capacity to improve further. Priorities for improvement are appropriate, but data from assessments are not always analysed in sufficient detail to identify emerging concerns about performance so they can be tackled at the earliest possible stage. The school's managers have invested time and resources, including extra staffing, in ensuring that the needs of pupils who speak English as an additional language are met and that they can make the same good progress as others.
Achievement is good for all groups, as a result of the good teaching and curriculum that pupils receive. Standards are well above average by the time pupils leave Year 6. Progress is good in the Reception classes and Years 1 and 2, and in English and mathematics in Years 3 to 6. Progress in science in Years 3 to 6 is satisfactory, as the most able do not always make as much progress as they could. They are often given work that is similar to other pupils, in contrast to English and mathematics, where it is much more challenging and closely matched to their needs. Furthermore, the use of targets and the academic guidance provided are not as good as in English. Good attention is paid to ensuring that pupils learn about the different faiths and backgrounds represented in the school, so that the school operates as a very strong community, with excellent relationships and outstanding spiritual, moral, social and cultural development evident throughout the school. Pupils receive good quality care, guidance and support. They, and their needs, are known very well by staff. Parents are, rightly, very impressed with the school. Many describe it as 'excellent', especially in the way that staff treat pupils as individuals when responding to both their personal and academic needs, and in the partnership that the school maintains with parents.
Effectiveness of the Early Years Foundation Stage
Grade: 2
The school provides well for children in the Early Years Foundation Stage. The majority of children enter St Edward's with skills broadly typical of this age group in all areas of learning. Children make good progress and start Year 1 with standards that are above average in most areas, and with very high levels of personal development. Children thrive in a safe, secure environment where adults know each child very well and work effectively as a team to meet individual needs. The provision for learning and development is good and as a result, children learn well. Teachers plan carefully to ensure a good balance of adult-led and child-led activities that makes the most of the limited indoor and outdoor spaces, although children are not always able to move freely to the outdoor covered area when it rains. Children from different backgrounds and cultures work and play in total harmony. They cooperate well with one another and have good relationships with adults. Children's behaviour and attitude to learning are outstanding. An exceptionally high proportion of parents described the Reception class as 'excellent' or 'very good', praising the outstanding links maintained with staff. Several pointed out that their children were disappointed at the weekends when they could not come to school. Children usually work well independently. However, occasionally the most able have to wait too long for support or for staff to intervene in order to move them on to the next stage in their learning in order to maximise their progress. The Early Years Foundation Stage team is well led and managed. The coordinator has a good understanding of strengths and areas for improvement. Assessments are accurate, but not always analysed in sufficient detail to identify longer-term trends in achievement. Good plans have been produced to enhance the provision further.
Achievement and standards
Grade: 2
Pupils in Years 1 and 2 make good progress, so that standards are well above average by the end of Year 2. Around one in five pupils join the school in Years 3 to 6, often with lower standards than those who continued from Year 2. Many of those joining are new to the country and speak English as an additional language. Nonetheless, because all pupils make good progress, standards remain well above average by the end of Year 6. Progress in science in Years 3 to 6 is satisfactory, and standards are a little above average. The proportion reaching Level 5 in science is only average, whereas the proportions in English and mathematics are now well above average. This is because the most able pupils do not make as much progress in science as they do in other subjects because the work they are given is too similar to that for the others.
Personal development and well-being
Grade: 1
The school is a very happy and harmonious community where pupils get on very well together. Relationships between pupils and adults are very positive. Pupils feel valued and know that adults have their best interests at heart. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary and they concentrate very well on their work. They love coming to school and are keen to learn. It is no surprise that attendance is above average and improving every year.
Pupils play a good part in the school community. They work together happily, respect the feelings of others and have a keen sense of fair play. They respond positively when given responsibility, for example as members of the active school council or as buddies for younger pupils. They show a lively interest in learning about the backgrounds, faiths and cultures of other pupils.
Pupils show great concern for the welfare of others. Even those in the Reception class have chosen a charity, raised money for it and counted the proceeds. They were especially excited when all their pennies were turned into paper money at the bank! All pupils take part enthusiastically in physical activities and have an excellent understanding of how to eat healthily. The results are plain to see in the fit and healthy individuals that leave the school in Year 6. Pupils' ability to work constructively with one another, together with their good academic progress, ensures they are well prepared for their futures.
Quality of provision
Teaching and learning
Grade: 2
One reason that pupils enjoy coming to school so much is that they have fun when they learn. Teachers use their good knowledge of subjects to plan activities that are stimulating and creative, such as when Year 3 pupils designed their own Hindu body adornment patterns to develop their graphic skills on computers. Most tasks are well matched to pupils' abilities, and are particularly demanding in English and mathematics. However, in science in Years 3 to 6 the most able are often given the same work as others and find it too easy. Teachers provide clear explanations of what pupils need to do, although sometimes these can go on for a bit too long. They also provide good examples of how tasks are to be carried out. This ensures that all pupils are clear about what they are to learn and how to go about it.
Curriculum and other activities
Grade: 2
A prominent and effective emphasis is given to developing pupils' literacy and numeracy skills and this is reflected in pupils' good progress in these key areas. The school takes care to ensure that pupils benefit from a broad curriculum that provides a wide range of worthwhile learning opportunities. For example, pupils talk enthusiastically about focus weeks on health education and ecology, and very much enjoyed a multiculturally themed week during the inspection. Provision for pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities is good, and the school also provides well for those learning English as an additional language. Both groups are given plenty of support in lessons, and are withdrawn for short periods for more intensive help when necessary. Provision for pupils' personal development is a key strength, although there are few planned opportunities to encourage pupils to make decisions and use their initiative. The curriculum is enriched by a good range of visits, visitors and clubs. They are greatly enjoyed by pupils and benefit their learning.
Care, guidance and support
Grade: 2
The school is a highly caring community and teachers know the pupils well. Indeed, the high quality of pupils' personal development stems from the supportive relationships that exist across the school. Parents are justifiably confident that their children are well looked after. The pupils themselves feel exceptionally safe, and are totally confident in talking to teachers if they have any problems, knowing that their concerns will be taken seriously and dealt with swiftly. Child protection procedures fully meet requirements and health and safety checks are thorough. Academic support and guidance are good, and help pupils to progress well. Pupils know their targets in literacy and mathematics, but many are unsure what precisely they need to do in order to improve in mathematics. Targets are not set for pupils in science until they are in Year 6, so they are not as aware of what they are aiming for.
Leadership and management
Grade: 2
The good progress made since the previous inspection has been a result of well- managed changes to provision, in order to meet the changing needs of the school community. Good steps, such as carefully identifying changes in the ethnicity and faiths of pupils in the school and adapting the curriculum, have been taken to ensure good community cohesion and that the needs of all pupils are met equally well. Targets have been too low in the past, but are now much more challenging. Checks on lessons involve governors, senior staff and subject coordinators so that all gain a good understanding of the strengths and weaknesses in teaching. Data on pupils' progress are accurate, but are not always analysed in sufficient detail to provide a clear picture of where progress is faster or slower. This leads to the school often reacting to results at the end of the year, rather than identifying issues at an earlier stage and taking action more quickly. When actions are taken they are highly successful. Improvements in mathematics have resulted in much better progress for more able pupils this year, for example. The greatest strength, however, is the way that all staff are successfully encouraged to focus on each child as an individual, leading to good achievement and outstanding personal development.

Dear Children
Inspection of St Edward's Catholic Primary School, Birmingham, B29 7PN
Thank you very much for all your help when we recently visited your school. We very much enjoyed talking to you and hearing about how you love coming to school because you feel like part of a big, happy family. Your parents and carers feel part of this family too. You told us that you feel totally safe at school, because all the grown-ups take such good care of you. Your parents and carers can be very proud of your excellent behaviour and how hard you work. We were very impressed by how well you all get on with one another and how fit and healthy you are.
You go to a good school. Because you are taught well you learn more quickly than we often see, and you are much better at English and mathematics than most other children of your age by the time you leave. Your science is not quite as good as other subjects so we have asked your teachers to make sure you all get work that you do not find too easy. We have also asked them to set you targets and help you to reach them in the same way as they do in English. You enjoy lessons, because they are fun and interesting. You particularly enjoyed the multicultural week that took place during our visit.
Your school is changing. More pupils are joining from different countries and backgrounds who speak languages and live their lives in ways that are different from others. This is great. All your teachers have changed what they do, so that you can all learn about each other and how other people live around the world. It has also meant that the people who run the school have had to make changes to make sure that everyone can learn as quickly as each other. They have done this very well. They know what helps you to learn best, because they all take turns to watch lessons. They also know how well you are doing, but don't always look for patterns in your test results to see if some classes are doing better than others, for example. We have asked them to do this, so they can make your school better even more quickly.
With all best wishes for your futures,
Yours faithfully
David Driscoll
Lead inspector

Sexual, mental and physical abuse of children
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, October 27 2011 @ 10:29 PM MDT
I am Roberts cousin. I know for a fact that he would never even think about commiting such a horrible act. Its unfare that someone who has a grudge against someone can just post anything they wish on the internet and possibly ruin someones life without any type of investigation into the matter before its posted. I believe in karma, and this will come back to you. Don't let this bring you down Robert.

Legion of Superheroes vs. Fatal Five in volleyball show down. :D This piece was requested by Alex and ordered by his wonderful wife, Kathy.
I was posting last night on Twitter my version of Legion of Superheroes if I ever had a chance to draw it. I would do an all-age Legion of Superheroes where it would be a really fun adventure action story. Different planet each book/arc. I would make sure they were always traveling and saving the day somewhere different and cool each book. Always battling new aliens as well. If you want this too make sure to tell DC and make sure to tell them to put me on. :D I would have a blast with it!!
This weekend I will be at ACE ALBUQUERQUE COMIC EXPO! Find me at Table A1 beside the amazing Sara Richard and the amazing Katie Cook!! Both these girls are awesome!! I am so lucky to be beside them. :D
After that SDCC!

A Plea for Help (and a hello) UpdatesUpdates: No progress with finding work so far, I just feel like we are stuck in this endless cycle. I know I should give it time, but all I want to do right now is pack up and go back to Colorado. Feels like that would make things right again, but I suppose it's just due to the frustration of this entire situation and the fact that I haven't slept properly in months. It would be nice to have one full night of rest again. It's turned into this huge deal every night and I've started hating as soon as the sun starts to set.In any case, I just deleted about 20,000+ messages from my inbox because it felt like it was overflowing. I hate missing all these wonderful things going on here but the steadily increasing numbers were just bothersome to me. If there are any important things you'd like me to see, please feel free to send me a note, as they tend to be dealt with first. I'm sorry if I haven't responded to your messages, I really do read and appreciate every single one of them. :ti

These teams are dedicated to providing a high level of support within the community via our help desk portal as well as what we call the "Moderation Desk", which is where all of the deviations that have been reported as being unsuitable or in violation of our policies, await review from a member of staff.Community Operations Staff are spread out across the globe on a mix of many time zones. Some work from a physical office in deviantART HQ in Los Angeles, some work from their homes in America, Canada, Bahamas, Germany and the UK.

I of course love animals, plants, nature (APN) and photography. I have two Norwegian Forest cats and I love to crochet amigurumi. I like to be creative, I read a lot. I work full time as an Administrator at a pelleting and coating company for vegetables, ornamentals and field crops. It's not what I'd love to do for the rest of my life, but for now it pays the bills for me and my cats.I've been a deviant for over 9 years, I'll be 10 in July next year. I've been a senior since December 2009 and applied to be the APN CV a few months after that. I became the CV on June 1st, 2009 until December, 2010. I loved doing it and when I saw the open spot again, I decided to apply again and I got my hat/heart back
Poetic PsychosisIn thirty seconds, the next shell would fall. Every night was the same, but every night Lorenzo experienced it as if it were the first time. His throat felt swollen; breathing was hard. He glanced around at the others; young men like him who had been shipped out in the name of honour and freedom. There was no honour in this, no freedom. Only death behind your eyelids, and a fear so gutting, that it carved out your innards and left you a hollow husk. Lorenzo tried to breathe, tried to assure himself that he was still whole, still made of flesh. They had lied when they told him he was ready.Matteo ran towards him, arms out, rifle swinging uselessly at his side. He shouted for him to run, but Lorenzo remained motionless, unable to move as his friend's warning was lost in the constant blare of gunfire. None of them were ready."The cycle is repeating. It is not safe." The voice was soft and weak, yet it carried over the gunfire and battle cries without impediment.Lorenz

The Clippers only got better this offseason and it all begins with their new head coach Doc Rivers. This team now has a leader that has won a title and that knows what it takes to win a championship. That was the key ingredient they were missing. Vinny Del Negro was not the answer to lead a young team that specialized in highlight reels more than winning playoff games. Lob City won't be as proclaimed as it used to be and with good reason. Rivers should have this team focused on playing the game right and showing some more defensive intensity. The Clippers had a busy offseason, complementing Lob City with three-point shooters J.J. Redick and Jared Dudley. This team has a ton of depth and Chris Paul just got paid. With a conference that isn't as good as it once was, this team is going to make a lot of noise this season. The Clippers are my pick to come out of the Western Conference and go to the NBA Finals.
2. Golden State Warriors (52-30)
The Golden State Warriors made a statement in the offseason with the moves they made. On paper, the Warriors have almost as much talent as the Clippers do. The addition of Andre Igoudala gives them a legit scorer to complement Stephen Curry. Klay Thompson emerged last season as a threat from the outside. Curry and Thompson combined to form one of the most lethal shooting backcourts in the NBA and that won't change this season. Curry, Thompson, Igoudala, David Lee, and Andrew Bogut make up a terrific starting five along with some solid young players coming off the bench. Mark Jackson has plenty of talent to take this team to the next level. They will make things interesting in the Pacific Division and in the West. Expect the Warriors to do some damage and make a deep playoff run, but they won't get by the Clippers when all is said and done.
3. Los Angeles Lakers (38-44)
For the first time in a long time, the Lakers will not be taking over the back pages in Los Angeles. The Lakers have a long season ahead without Dwight Howard and without Metta World Peace. They'll be banking on the return of Kobe Bryant, which may have to wait until the beginning of 2014. The Clippers will be the team playing meaningful basketball at the Staples Center this season. The Lakers will be lucky to contend for a playoff spot with their depleted roster. Look for the Lakers to miss the playoffs for just the second time in the last 20 years.
4. Phoenix Suns (26-56)
The Suns have thrown in the towel for the 2013-2014 season. Dealing Marcin Gortat is an early sign of that as they rebuild and try for a lottery pick. Goran Dragic impressed last season and it will be intriguing to see how rookie Alex Len plays, but complementary players like Eric Bledsoe and Emeka Okafor won't have this team anywhere near a playoff spot this season. Expect the Suns to duke it out for a top five pick in the NBA Draft.
5. Sacramento Kings (24-58)
The Kings will be another team that will have their fans pulling their hair out. When your best player is DeMarcus Cousins, it will usually spell nightmares. This team has no real star and a bunch of young players that will have trouble getting in rhythm. Don't expect much from the Kings this season as they came hours away from saying goodbye to Sacramento. Their fans are going to wish they left when this season is over with.

Floyd County Board of Supervisors Meeting
April 30, 2007, 9:00 AM
The Floyd County Board of Supervisors met for a workshop meeting at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, April 30, 2007 in the Board Room of the Floyd County Courthouse with the following in attendance: Chairman Dunkel, Supv. Enabnit, and Supv. Staudt.
Staudt/Enabnit moved to amend the agenda to include discussion on the disposition of the Rockford property and discussion on reopening the firing range. Motion carried 3-0. Enabnit/Staudt moved to approve the agenda as amended. Motion carried 3-0.
The Board reviewed transfers over the years from the General and General Supplemental Funds to the Employee Health Plan Trust Fund. From July 2001 through December 2005, $50,000 from the General Fund and $782,000 from the General Supplemental Fund has been transferred to the Health Plan with $224,778.70 being recouped from other funds. The Auditor reported that Jan Slater, Gardiner-Thomsen, informed her it would be appropriate to cut a warrant from the Health Plan to the General and General Supplemental Funds to payback some of the transfers should the Board decide to do so as long as the minimum required in the Health Plan is maintained. The Board will take action on this at the next regular meeting.
The Board reviewed the rewrite of the credit card policy reflecting the addition of the clause on rewards, points, and cash back. The policy will be discussed at tomorrow's department head meeting and will be acted on at the next regular meeting.
The Board discussed seeking bids for the courthouse building exterior wall repairs. This will be acted on at the next regular meeting.
The Board discussed that the issue of the civil service commission not having more than two members affiliated with the same political party was resolved with one member changing his affiliation to "no party."
The Board discussed a call from John Pearson, soon to be owner of the Rockford property, regarding the tenant not vacating the property by May 1. Supv Dunkel left a message with the County Attorney to follow up on the eviction process. The Auditor will update Pearson on the issue.
The Board received notice from the Sheriff requesting permission to re-open the Floyd County outdoor gun range due to distance to travel, membership costs, break-ins of storage shed and conflicts with scheduling training times at the Nashua gun range. The Board would like the Auditor to follow up with our insurance carrier on insurance costs for the Floyd County facility.
A motion was made by Supervisor Staudt and seconded by Supervisor Enabnit to adjourn. Motion carried 3-0.

I've Heard I Should Not Disturb the Scene of a Car Accident, but Can I Move My Car out of Traffic Lanes?
Conversations, details, memories, and thoughts can be confused and chaotic immediately following an automobile accident. Notwithstanding the blur of activity and difficulty in obtaining and maintaining clear focus amidst the adrenaline rush, there are some steps you can take to put your best foot forward. These steps can be performed in the event of a crash to help put a driver in the best possible position in terms of health, safety, law enforcement, insurance claims, and property.
What Should Be Done First Post-Accident?
The first thing to do after a car accident is to make a determination as to injuries and whether there is need for emergency medical attention. If someone is injured, call 911. Once this is done, the next effort should be dedicated to getting to a safe location. This should be done as quickly as possible and practicable. In fact, it should be done before drivers exchange and collect information from one another. The police should be contacted by one driver or party at the accident scene, once everyone is in a safe location.
Drivers Question Whether the Accident Scene Must Be Left Undisturbed
In the case of a minor wreck in which a door is scratched or bumper crumpled, or other "fender bender," it is not necessary to leave the cars impacted by the accident in their undisturbed crash locations. You can move them out of the traffic lanes. In fact, you are advised to do so, particularly in metropolitan areas. In such locales, police will generally not file an accident or incident report if there is minor auto accident. The police will instruct involved drivers to move cars out of the path of traffic, though.
There is an exception to this rule. If you are unable to move your vehicle post-accident without creating more extensive damage to your vehicle or others, it is best to leave things as is. In such cases, it is advisable to await a tow truck to do the moving. It is likely the insurance company for each driver will provide such towing service.
What Can Be Done Post-Crash to Make the Insurance Claims Filing Process Smoother?
Besides getting medical attention, getting to safety, removing vehicles from the traffic path to a safe location in the event of minor accidents, and exchanging contact, driver's license, and insurance information, there are a few other steps that can be taken after an accident to make the insurance claims filing process operate smoothly. Most are rooted in common sense:
- Be calm.
- If you can, take pictures with a cell phone, digital camera, or disposable camera (whatever you have at your disposal).
- Make sure you communicate promptly with your insurance agent or broker, so that you can begin the claims process timely.
- Promptly, thoroughly, and accurately answer all correspondence, calls, and other inquiries or requests for information from your insurer, counsel (if applicable), and police.
- Do not comment about fault or liability or make statements at the accident scene such as "I'm sorry." Such statements can be used against you in the claims process and any litigation.

I cant think of any rider better than Dovi for the job Ducati have for him , a Lorenzo or a Pedrosa would do little but moan at what they have , Dovi is a grafter , if it means accepting a 1:44 when the the Hondas and Yamahas are doing 1:43 He will push but not too much to end up upside down in a ditch unlike others we could mention cough Crutchlow cough .I Think a bonus for Iannone of being given full factory status is called for and a shot at MotoGP for Folger next season :)

He always looks smooth, neat and tidy on a bike does Dovi. But this still perfectly captures just how physical a MotoGP must be on board. Exiting a right hander, fighting the wheelie, body on the move to the other side of the bike and wheel cocked with countersteer for the impending left.
Good call Richard. Do VW want a German under their Italian colours? Would you plumb for likely to be unemployed Bradl or a rising star like Folger?

He won't kill the goose that laid the golden egg and besides which he wants to be the Italian rider/bike combination that brings Ducati back up to the top table ... think what an accolade that would be.
He is still smarting from the piss-poor treatment he got from HRC and then Yamaha and on a competitive bike he is better than most.
Nothing would please Mr. Ordinary more than getting the Ducati winning. There is no chance in Suzuki getting up to speed in the next 3 years.
Cal will probably be able to finish his 2 year contract (maybe with Pramac) after all Ducati were willing to stand by the crash-prone Spies when he wasn't even riding.

This site is an extension of an ongoing journal that I have kept my entire climbing career. I hope you enjoy and are inspired to do the same.
I realize that climbing is a self-indulgent sport and will not pretend it is otherwise. I will also add that I have enjoyed the positive impact that the beauty and depth of experience the sport provides in the lives of myself and others..

Hey Wayne, is there an email address where I can reach you?
Comment by David | April 15, 2010 |
Hey Wayne, do you think it is more challenging for a regular climber to climb in the canadian rockies, the cascades or the sierra nevadas. I do not include the american rockies because they are mostly large rounded hills. I am including the rockies of Montana ( granite peak) and of wyoming and idaho as part of the canadian rockies as they are more similar to the canadian ones than to the colorado ones ( the ones I'm refering to as the americans). I believe the canadian rockies differ greatly from their american cousins as they have greater relief, are heavily glaciated, have more challenging routes and are more remote. How would you compare the cascades and the sierras to the canadians. I am trying to decide whether I will move to Calgary ( canadian rockies) or seattle ( cascades). I wish to pick the better mountains to prepare me for expeditions into the himalaya and denali. Thx

From February 5-9, over 150 women from across North America, many of whom have never been to Israel, will be partaking in the third annual Heart to Heart mission. The Heart to Heart mission, organized by National Women's Philanthropy of Jewish Federations of North America, will allow these women to hear from important politicians, philanthropists, businesswomen, athletes and many more inspiring women in Israel. The mission will give them the opportunity to explore the land of Israel, visit cultural sights and see first-hand the work being done overseas by The Federation's partner agencies.
You have the chance to experience Israel by following six women from the Greater Washington community who have chosen to embark on this life-changing experience. Pictures, videos and stories will be shared by these women, giving you the chance to learn more about their trip.
The Heart to Heart Mission has come to an end, but the most vital responsibility of all of the participants is yet to come. Most of the women are back in their homes and communities by now, already sharing moving stories with friends and family members. The final day of the mission was Thursday, February 9th. I landed at JFK this morning feeling surprisingly rested and full of inspiration and excitement that I cannot wait to bring back to my community. It was truly a privilege to travel with my fellow JFGW community members, Susan Schor, Rhea Schwartz, Leslie Kaplan, Stefanie Sanders Levy and Margaret Goodman. Each of these women, along with other women on our bus (Bus #4) made the Heart to Heart mission an unforgettable experience. Each woman brought with her to Israel her own suitcase full of life experiences and moments - some sad, some happy and all a part of her life's journey as a woman, a philanthropist and a dedicated community member.
One of the most inspiring moments of the mission for me took place on the final day when we visited the Ben Yakir Youth Village. The Youth Village has been in existence for 37 years and is currently filled to capacity with a waiting list. Ben Yakir serves at-risk boys and the majority are second generation Olim from the FSU and Ethiopia. In fact, 77% of the boys are Ethiopian Israeli. They are at risk and come from low social economic neighborhoods and have had issues with their schools in their local communities. The boys are identified by welfare departments in communities and live at Ben Yakir by choice and only with the support of their families. They are in desperate need of confidence building and personal attention.
The boys live at the village during the week and visit their family every other week for Shabbat. Boys in grades 7-9 attend classes at the village, while boys in grades 10-12 attend school in a nearby village. The incredible professionals who work at Ben Yakir provide creative learning opportunities and a caring environment where the boys can thrive and ultimately be successful in their army service and in their lives.
We were lucky to be able to meet several boys and professionals during our time at Ben Yakir. The Youth Village has three social workers and staff and use animal therapy, art therapy, touch and movement therapy to work with the boys. Three boys performed a selection of music they had learned to play on the keyboard. We also had the opportunity to see the small farm that is located on the grounds of Ben Yakir—twenty boys care for animals on a daily basis there. They feed the animals and clean the cages. The boys benefit from this because they learn to help others through the process and working with the boys, the staff is able to reach them in ways they might not otherwise be able to. Many of the boys have felt judged and rejected throughout their lives. They do not feel judged by animals and feel a sense of pride, responsibility and fulfillment from their work.
There are five youth villages in Israel, all serving young boys and girls who desperately need this unique environment that will enable them to reach his or her own full potential and positively contribute to Israeli society.
Now it is my responsibility and the responsibility of all the women who participated on the Heart to Heart Mission to take all that we have experienced and share these stories in our community. I feel such a sense of pride about the impact of our gifts to The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, locally in our community, in Israel and around the world!

Today's visit to Afula to learn about the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) program's Springboard and Neurim, for Ethiopian teens and their families was thought-provoking, enlightening and uplifting. First, it made me focus on the different role the military plays in the US and Israel and how the culture of each country is affected. That led to the realization of the special significance of the JDC Neurim program. It is not just a "save a soul "activity, which could be accomplished with other types of tzedakah. Rather, this is a means of putting the imprimatur of the state of Israel on the Ethiopian teenager who would otherwise have been an outcast in society. It normalizes the teenager by allowing him or her to succeed in the great Israeli equalizer, the Israel Defense Force (IDF). The program provides support and gives them a chance to maximize their skills and talents. Federation's support for this program has made me even more proud to be a Federation supporter.

Today we revisited our childhoods from kindergarten from making cookies to playing in the mud. We were guests in several gan (kindergarten) classrooms in Beit Shemesh and took part in a hands-on opportunity. We learned about sifryat pijama, the Israeli version of PJ Library. We interacted with the children, observed as they listened to a book that was provided to each classroom, as well as to each individual child to be shared with their families at home. The children made beautiful tefilat haderech (traveler's prayer) key chains that they decorated with their own art work, as well as special handmade gifts to celebrate Tu B'Shvat.
Later, we were guests in the homes of several Beit Shemesh women who participate in the women's empowerment program. We were treated to delicious home cooked traditional Moroccan foods. We learned about each woman's personal story of aliyah and their life journey. We even learned how to make a special dessert ( Moroccan sugar cookies) under the watchful eye of our hostess. We are looking forward to receiving a copy of their new cookbook that is hot off the press and features stories and recipes of these special women. Please ask us more about it!
Needing to work off our filling lunch, we then traveled to the Vertigo Eco Arts Center where we participated in a bit of yoga, stretching and dance. The highlight of this site visit, however, was the chance to get our hands dirty making clay pots and bricks, yes bricks.
Back to school, back to basics in the classroom, the kitchen, nature and finally back to Tel Aviv tonight. Tomorrow we leave for the north and a Sefat experience.

Did you buy the new iPhone 5? What should you do with your old phones?
If you're one of the more than 5 million people who have purchased the new iPhone 5, you might be wondering what to do with your old cell phone. Reselling it is an option, but what about donating them? Several organizations collect old cell phones, sell them to recyclers, and use the money received to fund their programs.
Cell Phones for Soldiers uses the proceeds from the sale of old phones to purchase pre-paid calling cards for soldiers overseas. Most US cell phones would not work in the Middle East, so they can't send the phones directly to the soldiers. The organization's website states that they sell the phones to "a company that recycles them", but does not state which company. There are some disreputable cell phone recyclers, so more information on where the phones actually end up would be beneficial. More information on this subject can be found at triplepundit.com.
The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence also accepts old phones. They use the money they receive from the sale of phones to a recycler to fund their work to prevent domestic violence. Their website states that their recycler is Cellular Recycler, a US-based electronics recycler with several environmental certifications.
911 Cell Phone Bank collect phones and send them to a recycler who refurbishes and redistributes them to emergency responders and victim service agencies. Though they don't specifically state what recycling companies they use, they affirm that their partners have the proper environmental certifications and comply with their high standards.
If you're interested in donating your old cell phones or other electronics, consider the above or research non-profit organizations that could use them that are local to your community. Make sure to check out their charity status on charitynavigator.org to confirm it's a legitimate organization, and ask questions about the recycling companies and processes used. Whichever non-profit organization you choose, your old phones could be put to much better use than sitting in a dark desk drawer for years to come.

International Trailer and TV Spot for GODZILLA Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, and Bryan Cranston
by Matt Goldberg Posted 281 days ago
Yesterday, the teaser trailer for Godzilla was released online, and judging by the reaction of the people I follow on Twitter, response was positive. It's a well-made trailer, and more importantly, the response shows that people are eager to see the giant monster get a second chance at an American adaptation. Today, an international trailer and TV spot have gone online, and the tone is the same, but they contain brief new bits of footage. If yesterday left you with a need for more Godzilla (or a need for actors who will be in Godzilla, since there's not much of the titular monster at this point), it's a quick fix.
Hit the jump for the trailer and TV spot. The film stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston, Juliette Binoche, David Strathairn, Ken Watanabe, and Sally Hawkins. Godzilla opens in 3D on May 16, 2014.

Found August 06, 2012 on The Mark Graham Sports Blog:
PLAYERS: Gabby Douglas
You know it must have been a slow news day, when FOX News targeted gold medal winning gymnast Gabby Douglas for her "un-patriotic" uniforms. Really. FOX News reporter Alisyn Camerota took issue with it when she said that the "famous flag-style outfits" of past Olympics have been replaced by "yellow shirts, grey track suits and pink leotards" Camerota and her guest on "America Live", radio host David Webb, targeted Gabby Douglas in particular, with Camerota saying, "You know, Gabby had that great moment, and everyone was so excited, and she's in hot pink -- and that's her prerogative," Webb, host of The David Webb Show on Sirius/XM Radio, said that America has lost our pride. "We're a very nationalistic nation," Webb said. "But we've also lost over time that jingoistic feeling." Douglas' wore a red, white, and blue jacket with "USA" across the back while on the sidelines of the individual all-around competition and a gray jacket with an American flag patch during the medal ceremony. But I guess FOX News is looking for something more like this. C'mon, FOX News, let the girl have this moment with a "controversy".

The Big Green (1995) ★★★★★
Comedy Movies | Family Movies | Movies Made in Texas | Soccer Movies
Rated PG, 100 mins. running time
Director: Holly Goldberg Sloan
Starring: Steve Guttenberg, Olivia d'Abo, Jay O. Sanders
Caravan Pictures (defunct, 1999), Walt Disney Pictures
Two things Disney has always done very well: champion the underdog in both its characters and its audience, and encapsulate adolescence with humor and drama. "The Big Green" chronicles the launch of a school soccer program in rural Texas, where a ragtag bunch of underprivileged students learns to believe in themselves and in their future.
When British import Anna Montgomery (Olivia d'Abo, of TV's "The Wonder Years") moves to Elma, she turns the lives of her struggling students upside down as they embrace the sport together.
Employing the help of Sheriff Tom Palmer (Steve Guttenberg, of "Police Academy" and TV's "Veronica Mars") for comedic foil, "The Big Green" tackles a lot of heavy topics which are especially relevant today, including unemployment, alcoholism and immigration.
The film illustrates good values for kids, including good sportsmanship, the importance of believing in yourself and the power of friendship.
"The Big Green" is a winning film for families with elementary-aged kids and above, and general audiences.
Watch "The Big Green" Trailer
Interesting Facts About "The Big Green"
- The movie was filmed in five Texas towns, including Austin, Dale, Elgin, Pflugerville, and Taylor.
- The movie's setting of Elma, Texas does not exist. It is fictional.
- Anthony Esquivel, who portrayed Juan Morales, the son of a Mexican immigrant facing potential deportation, went on to excel in soccer in real life. He is now assistant coach for men's soccer at Furman University, in South Carolina.
- The film was also released in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal and Spain, nations in which soccer is widely celebrated.

works for me: baby gate
We have 3 dogs, all of whom sleep indoors at night. We have a California King sized bad which is already full with my California King sized husband, me, 1-2 cats, and our beloved senior dog Holly. This leaves the junior dogs to find a comfy spot on their own. They pace the house. They jump on the bed and get pushed off. They pace -- click-click-click go their dog nails on the wood floors -- they jump, they pace, and this goes on all night and makes me cranky.

Categories > Movies > X-Men: The Movie > Nightcrawler Spirit
Anger and Faith0 Reviews
I am a spirit sent to guide the Chosen Ones of the Movieverses. My first assigment: Nightcrawler in X2. (Chapter 4)
"Nein," Nightcrawler whispered looking at the interior of the jet around him. It was very professionally built, and I wasn't surprised considering that the Professor would settle for nothing but the best for his team. I shot a nervous glance over to Storm and Jean, who had their backs to us and were concentrating on the take-off.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to talk much here," I said to Kurt. "If they hear you seemingly talking to no-one, they might think you're crazy." He gave a small smile.
"That's all right," he said. "I'm very good at keeping myself preoccupied." He lowered his eyes and was quiet for a long while. At first, I thought that he had fallen asleep, but then I realized that he was praying silently under his breath. He paused for a second, took out his rosary beads, and continued praying in Latin, French, English and German. It was a beautiful thing to listen to.
I suppose I drifted off into a kind of trance while I was listening to Kurt pray because I was slightly startled when Storm approached us. I got up and moved to stand in the isle as Storm sat down beside Kurt. He had been praying in German, but he stopped when Storm sat down. He seemed a bit startled too.
"So, what are they?" Storm asked, referring to his tattoos.
"They're angelic symbols," Kurt responded, half his face in shadow. "Passed on to mankind by the archangel Gabriel."
"They're beautiful," Storm said. There was a lot of truth behind that one simple statement. "How many do you have?"
"One for every sin," Kurt said. "So quite a few." He smiled a bit at his own little joke. Storm and I flashed a smile each as well.
Kurt paused and looked back towards the cockpit. "You and Miss Grey are schoolteachers?" he asked Strom.
She nodded. "Yes. At a school for people like us, where we can be safe."
I frowned. Unlike them, I knew that the school had been attacked. It was safe, yes, but not as safe as it could be against people like William Stryker.
"Safe from what?" Kurt inquired.
"Everyone else," Storm responded simply. Nightcrawler thought about this for a second.
"D'you know, outside of the circus most people were afraid of me," he said. "But I didn't hate them. I pitied them. Do you know why?"
Storm shook her head.
"Because most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes," Kurt explained.
I smiled. "You can't judge a book be its cover," I thought. "Or a man by his appearance, no matter how demon-like he looks."
"Well, I gave up on pity a long time ago," Storm said. There was very little regret about this decision in her voice, or in her eyes.
Kurt looked at her gently and placed a three-fingered hand on her cheek. "Someone so beautiful should not be so angry," he said, giving her a compliment and advice both at the same time.
"Sometimes anger can help you survive," Storm said, her eyes locked on Kurt's. I nodded.
"True. She has a point," I said.
Kurt returned Strom's gaze. "So can faith," he said, leaving no argument.
I smiled. "That's true too," I agreed.
"Storm, I found an active com device," Jean called from the cockpit, breaking up the moment.
Storm's eyes only flickered briefly in her direction. "Where?" she asked.

Bridging Barriers: Next Steps for New Life Fellowship Church
I'm glad you gave specific illustrations of some of the racial/ethnic tensions in our church, and also illustrations of how we can address this.
Along the lines of Restaurants and Food, we can also add Festivals and Holidays. Purim just happened (there might even be some Purim celebrations tonight), and Passover is later this month, during our Holy Week. St. Patrick's Day (Irish) and St. Joseph's Day (Italian) are coming up.
Maybe some others can add more festivals from other traditions.
Thank you for this summary. I can't emphasize intentionality enough. I've noticed that if I stop being intentional about integrating other cultures/ethnicities into my relationships for even a short while, the tendency to surround myself with people of my own race/culture creeps up ever so quickly. The difference in comfort level is astounding – but I'd like to challenge all of us to embrace the tension and allow God to work it out in us.
Wonderful seminar and what I appreciated most was the frankness that Idalio ( hope I got his name right )spoke with concerning Asian Americans. He modled true tranceparency as it related to his hangups concerning our Asian brothers. I personally would like to see that sort of authenticity modled by some of our Brothers and Sisters from global dominant cultures (Caucasian and even Chinese, Korean). On a whole, the seminar was great.
Thank you all of you. Melanie, I will add your suggestion for the future.
I believe there is a great deal of prayer, thinking, reflection, and study that God is calling us to at NLF as we seek to follow Him into the next phase of our journey. I also believe that a wealth of riches is to be mined from within our own community in the months and years to come.
Perhaps including the LGBT community might help break down barriers as well. Looking at number 3 on the list:
"Small Groups and Friendships. Consider joining a small group with people from a different race, culture or ethnicity. Develop intentional friendships with people from different social classes and cultures than your own." LGBT people should be included.

These are the books that are worth reading, twice in some cases. They are all fairly easy to read and are books that you won't want to miss.
|epirkl's Comments
|Esperanza rising
by Ryan, Pam Munoz.
Besides the amazing coverart, this book was pretty fantastic. After Esparanza's father dies, her creepy uncles take over her farm in Mexico and try to marry her mother. They escape to America, but since they are immigrants, she is no longer the rich princess she used to be. posted Jun 15, 2010 at 4:43PM
|Maniac Magee : a novel
by Spinelli, Jerry.
This book had me laughing and crying... I've read it twice, and it's about a boy who has run away from home. posted Jun 15, 2010 at 4:41PM
|Freaky Friday
by Rodgers, Mary, 1931-
You've maybe seen the movie with Lindsay Lohan, but the book is pretty different. Same plot though, a girl switches bodies with her mother for a day and things go wrong... posted Jun 15, 2010 at 4:40PM
|Jeremy Fink and the meaning of life
by Mass, Wendy, 1967-
You may not have ever heard of this one, but it's an enjoyable book. A boy sets out to find the keys to a box that his deceased father left him to open on his thirteenth birthday. posted Jun 15, 2010 at 4:39PM
|The lion, the witch, and the wardrobe
by Lewis, C. S. 1898-1963.
This is a great book. It's also meant for a younger reader, but it can be enjoyed by older people too. The language is very descriptive and the plot and characters are well-written. posted Jun 15, 2010 at 4:38PM
|Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets
by Rowling, J. K.
Not just the Chamber of Secrets, but all of the Harry Potter books. They are fantastic, long (but easy to read), and full of action. Really good books, even if you don't like fantasy. posted Jun 15, 2010 at 4:37PM
|The adventures of Tom Sawyer
by Twain, Mark, 1835-1910.
Tom Sawyer is a classic. You have to read it, though it is pretty slow in the beginning. It's worth it in the end, and it's full of suspense. posted Jun 15, 2010 at 4:36PM
by Westerfeld, Scott.
I really liked reading this book. The futuristic yet not totally sci-fi setting was awesome along with the plot and the characters. It reminds me of the book Fahrenheit 451, because it's about the future and what terrible things could happen. posted Jun 15, 2010 at 4:35PM
|Princess Academy
by Hale, Shannon
It sounds like it would be a really girly book, but it's not. I definitely recommend that girls read it more than boys, but it's not about princessy things. The protagonist, Miri, is a very strong female character and the plot is great. posted Jun 15, 2010 at 4:33PM
|Because of Winn-Dixie
by DiCamillo, Kate.
This book is meant for the younger reader... I read it in second grade. But it was great. It's easy to read and the message is nice. posted Jun 15, 2010 at 4:31PM
|Someone like you
by Dessen, Sarah.
Another teen pregnancy thing. Or is it? This book is about a girl who's best friend gets pregnant. She struggles with her mother and her new boyfriend, but helps her pregnant friend along the way while learning valuable life lessons. posted Jun 15, 2010 at 4:30PM
|Lock and key : a novel
by Dessen, Sarah.
Lock and Key is about a senior who is following in the footsteps of her antisocial, drunken mother. The girl is abandoned and goes to live with her sister and brother-in-law where she learns that she's not alone. posted Jun 15, 2010 at 4:28PM
by Dahl, Roald
This book is more of a younger person book. If you haven't read it yet, though, I recommend that you read it. There's also a fairly good movie based on it. posted Jun 15, 2010 at 4:26PM
|The sisterhood of the traveling pants
by Brashares, Ann.
I definitely recommend this book for girls. It is about four friends that will not be together for the summer for the first time, so they keep in touch by mailing each other a magical pair of pants that somehow, despite their various bodytypes fits them all. Great book. posted Jun 15, 2010 at 4:25PM
|The outsiders
by Hinton, S. E.
the outsiders is really good. I had to read it for lit. class this year and I loved it. S.E. Hinton wrote this book when she was a teen, and since all the characters are teens, the way they think and talk is really accurate. The story is narrated by Ponyboy, the youngest of three boys and also the youngest in a gang. Throughout the book Ponyboy loses his innocence, which is kind of the theme of the book. I would recommend this to teens mostly because younger kids might not get it. It is a great book. posted Jun 30, 2009 at 9:25PM
