LAUSD board President Marlene Canter and board member Monica Garcia both expressed the district’s support and endorsement of the Broad endowment for the alliance, which will be able to expand the number of its charter schools to 20. “We are a huge big family,” Canter said, “and we’re all working for the same thing, which is to ensure that every single child has exactly what he should have in order for him to go to college.” tony.castro@dailynews.com (818)713-3761160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You’re all set! “All of us here today are seeing the tipping point in the charter school movement in Los Angeles,” Broad said in talking about his gift, which raises his foundation’s commitment to L.A. public charter schools to $36 million. “Charter schools are accomplishing what many public schools are struggling to do. They are dramatically improving student achievement. “What’s happening is we’re really seeing a revolution from the bottom up. Public charter schools are doing a better job educating children than other public schools. It’s not only parents, (it’s) students, teachers – they’re all demanding change.” Broad was joined during the announcement by representatives from the Los Angeles Unified School District, former Mayor Richard Riordan – the alliance chairman – and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell. Robin Kramer, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s chief of staff, said Broad’s “return on the investment … will be found in thousands of changed lives of families and kids.” Billionaire philanthropist Eli Broad and South Los Angeles teenager Jesse Aguilar live at opposite extremes of the city, but their lives crossed Thursday at the intersection of hope and opportunity. Aguilar, 17, the son of Salvadoran immigrants, finds himself at the doorstep of the American dream thanks to Broad, whose education foundation funds the inner-city charter school that transformed the youngster into an honor student. “When I came to Gertz-Ressler High School two years ago I was a C student – today I’m an A student,” said Aguilar, “and when I graduate next year I’ll be the first in my family to attend a four-year college.” Aguilar shared his story at an auditorium at the Frank E. Baxter Education Center, just west of downtown, where on Thursday the Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation announced it was injecting an additional $10 million in grants into the Alliance for College-Ready Public Schools, creating another 13 new charter schools and giving other Jesse Aguilars a chance.

4 Milinkovic-Savic is a strong aerial threat but only won four out of eight duels in the air against Costa Rica. He was not the match-winner, that honour went to ex-Manchester City star Aleksandar Kolarov, who netted a stunning free-kick.Most watching will have enjoyed the performance of Milinkovic-Savic, who played just behind Newcastle United striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.With all the intense scrutiny on his performance, talkSPORT.com took a look at the 23-year-old and how his display may help or hinder any possible transfer to Old Trafford.Milinkovic-Savic actually didn’t see any of the ball in the opening five minutes of the match but drifted between the Costa Rican lines and toward whichever full-back had the ball in the midfield area. Once the ball was in the final third, though, he occupied a central role, alongside Mitrovic as they looked to dominate their opponents in the air.When he did get on the ball after about six minutes he was quick to drive forward on the front-foot, dribbling past defenders before moving the ball out wide. Whenever either Aleksandar Kolarov or Branislav Ivanovic got into crossing positions, even from just beyond the halfway line, he surged towards the box in an attempt to get close to Mitrovic as Serbia attempted to go direct against their smaller opponents, which Man United boss Jose Mourinho may like as he seeks support for Romelu Lukaku from deep. A mark against him though is that despite his threat he only won four of eight offensive headers.Opposite number David Guzman attempted to tightly mark the 23-year-old but using his guile he was able get away with both his pace and skill and drifted off his radar with some fine movements.Off the ball he did well to cover Guzman, causing Costa Rica to attempt riskier forward passes, which didn’t pay off too often, and if the ball-player opted to not use Guzman, Milinkovic-Savic pressed to force errors and turnovers in possession, indeed the player completed two tackles and two block, but also gave away four fouls although all were in the Costa Rica half.At defensive set-pieces, Milinkovic-Savic showed excellent awareness and was able to react quickly to Costa Rica’s tricky routines. On one occasion, despite initially losing Giancarlo Gonzalez, he swiftly move to the goal-line when the ball was sent to the back-post and his man headed over. Manchester United target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic was on show for Serbia in their 1-0 win over Costa Rica. 4 4 Overall, Milinkovic-Savic certainly caught the eye with his movement and his presence in the final third. His creativity, close control, and dribbling make him a real threat, along with his aerial ability, but he was let down with decision making and his pass selection in the end which could be costly with Lazio wanting big money for their superstar.talkSPORT will be with listeners all day and all night at this year’s 2018 FIFA World Cup™ with over 800 hours of World Cup content and all 64 games live across the talkSPORT network. Lazio midfielder leaves Costa Rica defender Johnny Acosta for dead as he dribbles towards goal. 4 Smart one-touch passes helped ball progression in tight situations, and his positional awareness were certainly highlights but there were poor decisions too and by completing just 66 per cent of his passes he won’t have done himself too many favours.His tendency to drift towards the right will also be of note to any Manchester United scouts watch. With possible new team-mate Paul Pogba preferring a position on the left of a three-man midfield it would be interesting to see whether Milinkovic-Savic would be afforded the same role with the Frenchman dropping into a two-man role with Nemanja Matic behind him.It seems unlikely Mourinho would allow both stars to operate together further forward and leave Matic, or incoming Red Devil Fred, alone in front of their backline in too many games.In terms of shooting, the Serbia star, with 27 minutes gone, almost broke the deadlock but a offside flag spared his blushes when an excellent touch was followed by a tame shot straight at Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas from 12 yards.An outrageous overhead kick, belying his 6ft 4in frame, got the crowd on its feet but a fine Navas save once again denied him, while a poor long-range attempt was a blot on his copy book with 75 minutes on the clock.Linking with his forwards, Milinkovic-Savic had some decent moments and almost grabbed an assist early in the second period with a delicate pass to Mitrovic but the Newcastle striker couldn’t beat Navas, before a superb chest-down to Mitrovic almost led to a goal for Filip Kostic. An acrobatic shot from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic almost produced a goal for Serbia. Manchester United transfer target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic was one of the stars of the show as Serbia beat Costa Rica 1-0 at World Cup 2018.The Red Devils have been heavily linked with the Lazio sensation over the last six months, and he didn’t do too much wrong in a decent all-round display.
Chelsea are playing without a recognised striker at White Hart Lane but still managed to cause problems for Tottenham in the first half.Blues boss Jose Mourinho dropped Diego Costa and deployed Eden Hazard in a central role up front.Hazard responded impressively and headed over from Oscar’s cross as Mourinho’s side enjoyed a spell of pressure.Pedro has also been lively for the visitors and went close with a firm strike from near the edge of the penalty area.At the other end, Son Heung-min had a good chance for Spurs but his header from Harry Kane’s cross was saved by keeper Asmir Begovic, who also kept out an effort from Moussa Dembele.Chelsea, without injured skipper John Terry as well as Ramires, have defended well so far and Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas have had the upper hand in midfield.Chelsea: Begovic; Ivanovic, Zouma, Cahill, Azpilicueta; Fabregas, Matic; Willian, Oscar, Pedro; Hazard.Subs: Amelia, Djilobodji, Baba Rahman, Mikel, Loftus-Cheek, Kenedy, Costa.Follow West London Sport on TwitterFind us on Facebook

(Image: Brian Mthembu)“Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. When you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in.” Marjorie MooreBrand South Africa partnered with Trialogue to host its quarterly Trialogue CSI forum in Johannesburg and Cape Town.The purpose of these forums is to call on all those working in the Corporate Social Investment (CSI) field to collaborate and engage on issues faced in the CSI environment; to extend the initiatives to corporate employees to be active citizens and volunteer their time and skills for the great good of society.“Brand South Africa found an opportunity to partner with Trialogue in order to present our Play Your Part nationwide movement, which intends to inspire and motivate active citizenship in South Africa,” said Brand South Africa’s GM: Marketing Sithembile Ntombela.Trialogue is a business that specialises in social corporate responsibility and has been hosting CSI forums since the beginning of 2013. Held four times a year, each forum provides valuable insights on active citizenship.“As Play Your Part, we showcase how ordinary people and corporates are contributing to society. We unpack the drivers that contribute positively to the Nation Brand and its competitiveness through the movement,” concludes Ntombela.Trialogue director, Cathy Duff, said: “The sessions explore trends in volunteering, local best practice, how the impact of volunteerism can be measured, the types of volunteering support that non-profit organisations are looking for, and how to effectively manage volunteering programmes.”At the forum, Duff shared insights on the research conducted on organisational CSI programmes and employee volunteerism that will be captured in a Trialogue booklet, which can be purchased through the Trialogue website .Despite uncertainty and tougher trading conditions in almost every sector of the economy, corporate South Africa continues to demonstrate its commitment to CSI. CSI expenditure in South Africa was estimated to be worth R8.6 billion in 2016, significantly up from R2.9 billion in 2006, according to Trialogue’s Business in Society engagement.“South Africans, in general, are a giving nation. When it comes to formal domestic programmes in CSI and volunteerism, South Africa is ahead compared to other countries, whilst on an international platform we fall behind, there is a very small percentage spent outside the country,” concludes Duff.Further points that emerged from the forum included;How to encourage employees to volunteer;Barriers to volunteerism; andWhether the lack of employee volunteerism could be linked to organisational culture and leadership.Organisations and employees are encouraged to participate in the Trialogue forums, volunteer their time and educate themselves on the various volunteerism programmes available on http://trialogue.co.za/Would you like to use this article in your publication or on your website?

There are two things that are beloved by many geocachers: gadget caches and trackable hotels. So what’s even better? A gadget cache that’s also a trackable hotel! If you are a connoisseur of well-designed caches then our Geocache of the Week is a great fit for you. Located next to a strip mall in Bellevue, Washington, 520 Bellevue TB hotel shows how urban geocaches can be a lot more than lamp post caches and guardrail nanos. The cache owner Bounce,bounce is known in the local community for his creative trackable hotels. The cache is located in an unused loading bay. When you approach the cache you might hesitate for a second since it looks much like an electronic installment that’s part of the dock. But when you point your gaze upwards a warning sign reassures you that you’re in the right location.The cache page tells you that you need one of Bellevue’s zip codes (which are five digits) to open the cache, but the lock that stands between you and the logbook only has 4 digits. So your first mission is to identify where to use the code and then find the right one.Once you open the cache you might get sidetracked by the lights and switches. It’s fine to play with them but the cache owner requests that you leave everything the way you found it before you leave. Opening the second door gets you to the logbook and well organized trackable hotel.If you’re in the area and need a place for your travel-weary trackables, check them into this hotel for some well-deserved rest before the next geocacher takes them to their next destination.Continue to explore some of the most amazing geocaches around the world.Check out all of the Geocaches of the Week on the Geocaching blog.
