Special to The Gazette
What: "Messiah†Part One: Christmas Section
When: 7:30 p.m. Dec. 6
Where: Harvest Presbyterian Church, 1095 E. Reagan Parkway, Medina
Tickets: Free
Info: www.harvestpca.com or 330-723-0770
MEDINA — Celebrating the holiday season in style is the reason Harvest Presbyterian Church Choir annually presents G.F. Handel's "Messiah, Part One: Christmas Section†as part of its music ministries and the Guest Artist series. The church's seventh annual show takes place at 7 p.m. Dec. 6 at Harvest Presbyterian Church.
"It's an outreach to the community and a free performance,†said Harvest Presbyterian Church Guest Artist committee member Mark Loomis. "It allows people to come in openly. There's no sermon attached to it or a particular message attached to it. It's just the message of the Christmas selection of Handel's 'Messiah.' â€
Loomis added, "This is something that started internally with just our congregation, but then it grew larger as we were inviting musicians in from the community and other churches in the area that join us. We've also done it a couple of times off-site, and we now have upwards of 60 performers. In addition to that, this year we're going to have 14 combination musicians and soloists from Oberlin Conservatory of Music and The Cleveland Institute of Music.â€
During the past few years, the 75-minute performance has taken different shapes. This year's event boasts a quintet string section along with a trumpeter and a French horn player.
The show, led by conductor Lori Ciulla and her husband/assistant conductor Gary Ciulla, who is also the Medina High School band director, regularly attracts about 275 people from the Medina County area.
"Oh I definitely think it's a family tradition,†Loomis said. "There are some people that I've spoken to who said that's why they first came to the church, to see the performance. And they have stayed with us. So it's part of our Guest Artist series, and it's just another thing we're able to offer the community.â€
He added, "The main reason to attend this performance is to celebrate this season of the birth of Jesus and to have the opportunity to fellowship with others in the community.â€

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE; 31 March 1826; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18260331-TC-JAC-01; CL 4:65-66.
Hoddam Hill, Friday [31 March 1826].
My Dear Jack,
I am just setting off for Annan with this Life of Goethe1 which has held me busy for the last week and more, having swelled under my hand, which hand also was at first grievously out. I will not go, without casting you a word, to say at least that we are all well.
Andrew Smith, the useless weepie mousie, stole a march on us, and went off on Tuesday, after appointing "the middle of the week." That same day a boy of Geordie Farries', as I was riding past on the brae here, called to me that his father was going off next morning at 1 of the clock. I rode on to Mainhill; and they slew a cock there, and boiled three swine-tongues, and washed three dozen of eggs, and bagged a stone of meal, and wrote a letter, and packed them all into a fir box, and sent off Ned the king of hashes whom they have for herd, with the whole on his back. Alas! the boy had been wilfully and maliciously lying; the Waffler stirred not, and the box was brought home again, and opened there. "There is nothing but a mixture" in this world, mother!2
Tell me accurately how much money you will need to graduate you, next time you write. They are on the borrowing order from me, and I want to put your share beyond the reach of contingency.
Jane and Jenny and Alick and Wightman are gone to Scotsbrig two days ago. They have got three new horses; and all hands are sowing and harrowing, and flitting and tearing; there never was such work seen since—the last farm was taken. By dint of extreme activity they calculate on getting in their crop in time after all.
His Honour3 seems to be in a deadly rage against the poor husbandmen and all connected with them, now that he sees they care not tippence [tip underscored twice] about him. He and I had a dialogue objurgatory and defensive, the other day, at this door. His Honour by the universal testimony came off second-best I declare I from my heart pitied him, and was sorry for the incident. It was about riding thro' the field at the Mains: Particulars next time.
The afternoon is wearing, and I must go. I have made myself extremely billus by writing this Defensio Secunda Pro Goethio Poetâ.4 I have swallowed uilzie5 this day—pah!
I am always thy Brother /
T. Carlyle.
Our Mother started with joy at the sight of "great fall in Tea" printed in the last newspaper, at the head of an advertisement by, I think, one Melrose in South-Bd street Edinr: if you can get a quarter of a pound [pack?]ed in next time (about 1/6 worth) you may send it.

Finance Minister Amara Konneh says the Liberian government remains committed to addressing the needs of its people utilizing resources allocated for the next budget period.
Speaking during a Government of Liberia /Donor technical meeting held in Monrovia recently, Minister Konneh stressed that the proposed budget submitted to the National Legislature highlights specific interventions and key deliverables.
The donor technical meeting brought together donor counterparts supporting the Liberian government in the areas of governance, human development, economic transformation and cross cutting issues, among others.
Providing a breakdown of the proposed budget to donor partners during the meeting, Minister Konneh mentioned that the 18.25 million dollars proposed by the Executive in response to the 73million dollars bill passed by the Legislature for Counties and districts development, will be tied to other big priority areas such as increasing police presence and constructing new barracks in rural areas, as well as constructing housing facilities for rural teachers and health workers to attract qualified professionals in these areas.
"We are still awaiting response from the Legislature on the proposed 18.25million and hope it will be soon". He said the budget is now developed to reduce unnecessary spending on fuel and lubricants to individual government officials.
Touching on elections, Minister Konneh pointed out that the Government has decided to open an escrow account for the National Elections Commission (NEC) to meet procurement demands ensuring that the Electioneering process is not tied to difficulties in the budget process. "2014 Senatorial Election will determine whether Liberia is ready for 2017"Minister Konneh said.
In response to the Outbreak of Ebola in the Country, Minister Konneh informed donor partners that 6million dollars has been allocated as contingency response, but also recognizing other emergencies such as flooding, which he says, the government will do its best to respond quickly.
Regarding roads, he mentioned that the Ministry of Public Works lacks the capacity to maintain roads; therefore, outsourcing remains the best alternative for now. He however indicated that the government intends to re-introduce maintenance of roads at the local level, utilizing the current capacity of the Ministry of National Defense, while gradually building up the capacity of the Ministry of Public Works.
He said 3million dollars has been placed in the budget to specifically target road maintenance but using equipment donated to the Ministry of Defense by the Government of China adding, that personnel will be trained on the use of these equipment to help open up feeder roads, while the government works towards ensuring that the Public Works Ministry be able to purchase its own equipment.
On the Constitutional Review process, Minister Konneh said the government is working closely with the Committee on what it takes to hold the constitutional review conference. He also intimated that loop holes under the issue of fiscal space are being addressed with policies on tax and duty free regimes being put into place, with a focus also on building human resource capacities, payroll reforms and grading structures to maximize efficiency and ensuring that the system works better.
Commenting briefly on the merger of the Finance and Planning Ministries, Minister Konneh hinted that assessment and evaluation of staff is on-going, while voluntary severance benefits and separation packages are being paid.
According to him, they are closely working with the Civil Service Agency to make the packages attractive, while the reform process is being enhanced to ensure that the New Ministry and the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) become highly professional entities.
The Finance Minister then acknowledged the level of support and contributions being made to Liberia's reform processes by donor partners, and appealed to partners to increase their support to major areas of interventions. Donor Representatives attending the meeting included the United Nations System, United States Government, European Union, World Bank, and the Government of Sweden, among others.
The meeting was co-chaired by the Deputy Special Representative of the UN Secretary General of UNMIL Antonio Vigilante who also serves as the UN Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative.

UIC Men's Soccer Participates in Haas Park Field Dedication
Oct. 18, 2012
CHICAGO - In conjunction with the "City Soccer in the Community" initiative, the UIC men's soccer team participated in the official dedication of a new soccer field at Haas Park on Chicago's northwest side. The new field is the result of the generosity of the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in the United States and Manchester City Football Club. Built in partnership with the Pritzker Traubert Family Foundation's "Take the Field Initiative" and the Chicago Park District, the field will benefit all of Logan Square.
The dedication ceremony was held at the new field last Thursday, Oct. 11. Head coach Sean Phillips and many of the Flames' players were in attendance helping with the project.
"I truly believe that UIC's program played a large role in getting us from point A to point B," said Anthony Porfirio, president of the Haas Park Advisory Council. "Coach Phillips has already offered his help and assistance whenever we may need it. He's also toyed with the idea of having a few UIC practices out at the field, so kids can actually see high-level soccer right in their backyard. It's an unbelievable reflection on his program and their commitment to give back to the community."
Porfirio had been planning on presenting a proposal to City Soccer in an effort to have a new field constructed in Haas Park. One of the many variables was proving to the organization and its supporting groups that the city of Chicago was a "soccer community," and that there was a glaring need for more facilities in which to play.
In March, Porfirio quickly coordinated a soccer clinic in an effort to further prove the value of youth soccer in the Haas Park neighborhood. He hired the outside vendor `We Got Game' to organize the event, but as the amount of kids in attendance quickly grew, it became apparent that extra help would be needed.
"In just two weeks notice, we ended up having an insane turnout (at the clinic in March), and once I saw what was going on, I realized that we needed extra help," said Porfirio. "UIC's program was first to step up. I thought it was an unbelievable reflection on Coach Phillips and his players, because those guys knew how to relate to those kids. It was very apparent that they had done something like this before. They had to jump in on the instruction, because there were only three people in attendance from `We Got Game' and we had 90-plus kids out on the field taking part in these drills.
"We shot hundreds of photos and also put together a video compilation. It was one of the most important pieces of our presentation, and turned out to be one of the major contributing factors that showed us to be a soccer community. It helped us get to the point of the proposal (of the new field in Haas Park) being accepted."
The proposal for the field was accepted, and as mentioned, the dedication was held last week. Phillips and select members of his team were again in attendance, another gesture that was noted by Porfirio.
"Our program felt privileged to help out with this initiative, both in March at the clinic and last week at the dedication of the field," said Phillips. "It was a new neighborhood that we were able to reach out to, and it's also the neighborhood in which I live; so I knew how important and valuable this project was. It also showed our players, some of whom participated in both the clinic and the presentation, how big of a role they can play in growing the game in this region. They were able to see how a simple clinic in March can turn into a global event on a local scale. It was a tremendous event, and we look forward to working with all of these organizations in the future."

Leiber, F; Hochstrasser, R; Wettstein, H R; Kreuzer, M (2011). Feeding transition cows with oilseeds: Effects on fatty acid composition of adipose tissue, colostrum and milk. Livestock Science, 138(1-3):1-12.
View at publisher
The present investigation was aimed to test whether α-linolenic acid (ALA) concentrations in the adipose tissue can be increased by linseed feeding of dry cows and whether ALA is preferentially mobilized during the catabolic phase after parturition. The second objective was the determination of the influence of mobilization on fatty acid composition of colostrum and mature milk. For this purpose, four groups of six cows were fed diets supplemented either with crushed linseed (rich in ALA; two groups) or sunflower seed (rich in linoleic acid (LA)) or a 1:1 mixture of both for 6weeks. This supplementation was either kept post partum or switched shortly before calving from linseed or the mixture to sunflower seed. The post partum experimental period lasted for another 40d. Samples of blood were obtained in weeks −6, −2, 3 and 6 pre/post calving, those of backfat adipose tissue in weeks −2 and 6 pre/post calving (by biopsy) and milk samples on days 1, 2, 10, 20, 30 and 40 of lactation. Clear changes over time occurred in blood plasma metabolites and hormones as well as in body weight, body condition scores and backfat thickness, especially during the transition before and after calving. Milk yield and composition showed the typical time trends as well. Proportions of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in the colostrum compared to the mature milk were clearly higher. This appeared similarly in all groups and was not influenced by the oilseed treatment. Compared with the physiological time effects, the effects of the oilseed treatments were weak. It was possible to load the adipose backfat tissue with ALA by supplementing linseed in the dry period, but the magnitude of this increase was small. Milk fat profile was not affected accordingly, although the changes found in adipose tissue post partum suggested the preferential mobilization of ALA during early lactation. Supplementing sunflower seed instead of linseed in the dry period did not elevate LA proportion in adipose tissue nor affected linoleic acid in milk. By contrast, direct transfer of LA, and especially of ALA, from feed to milk happened when sunflower seed or linseed was fed in the lactation period of the experiment. Overall this suggests that strategies aiming at changing n−3 fatty acid concentrations in milk fat composition by loading the adipose tissue of dry cows with ALA are not effective.

La Monnaie ¦ Concerts ¦ KlaraFestival 2013 ¦ Intro
KlaraFestival 2013
Go Crystal Tears
With Go Crystal Tears, KlaraFestival 2013 will be completing its trilogy on the human condition. Following on utopia (2011) and spirituality (2012), melancholia is the recurrent theme this year throughout the international and multidisciplinary programme of concerts, music and dance theatre and films. This year's theme could be summerized by Lars von Trier's comment on melancholia: "Melancholia has good and bad sides. I can see you can also escape into it. Or flee into it. You can lose yourself in it or you can use it to add flavour to your life."

Beautiful Jacket
By PG Quilts
from Odessa MO
This jacket was a little splurge for me. Haven't worn it yet (too cold) but I will wear it this spring and on two planned vacations this year. Love this!
Great colors, especially for with jeans
By CherylAnn
from rural PA, USA
I purchased the large and it fits me well; I generally wear a size 14. The colors and print allow it to be worn with a variety of colors, but it goes great with denim or khaki. It has laundered well, though it's best if touched up with an iron, especially at the zipper.

Want to help bring Homecoming traditions to life? Apply to be a Homecoming Captain! Captains will produce the special events that become lifelong memories for Argos. Applications will open in March in ArgoPulse and will be due by 5 p.m. Friday, April 1.
On the first day of Homecoming, we cover the campus in blue and green! Show your Argo Pride by wearing your Argonaut gear, and check out window paintings, giant banners and twinkle lights at night!
According to Greek mythology, Jason and the Argonauts had to overcome many obstacles and challenges in their epic quest to find the Golden Fleece. Now you and your friends have the opportunity to venture around campus and collect clues to find UWF's own Golden Fleece, and win a fabulous prize! Only one competitor or team will be able to retrieve the Golden Fleece: Will it be YOU?!
This daytime picnic event on the Cannon Green is a favorite of the UWF community. Hang out with your friends, professors and staff as you listen to music, enjoy lunch, and engage with multiple student organizations in their game booths.
Teams participating in the Homecoming Spirit Competition create boats made out of only cardboard, liquid nails and duct tape. Captains paddle their boats across the pool in hopes of being the fastest Argo in the water — or at least in hopes of not sinking! Students will compete for 1st-5th place before the faculty/staff teams compete. Then all boats left floating will race again for the final chance at ultimate cardboard boat victory!
The pumped-up pep rally celebrates Argo Pride by highlighting our campus culture and spotlighting our students, including our athletic teams, the Pep Band, the Homecoming Court and more! Then dance the night away at UWF's biggest concert event of the year.

Pumas UNAM continues their upward climb in the Clausura 2014 defeating Leon FC 2-1 at the Nou Camp. This time the universitarios moved into the 4th position on the league table of La Liga MX with 10 points, two behind Club America and three behind leader Cruz Azul. America was shocked on the pitch of the Azteca Stadium in week 6 falling 1-0 to CF Pachuca.
Argentine Martin Bravo took a big lead in the goal scoring table with the brace he scored against La Fiera. Bravo reached six goals doubling his lead from his current competitor. Luis Montes was able to put one in the net for the current champions. It looks like Leon is suffering from a "champion's slump" having won a single game of six and a pair of draws.
Leon played their usual attack game, but that gave up spaces that Pumas was able to take advantage of. The felinos opted for a defense and counterstrike strategy that paid off in the 9th minute. On a counterstrike Bravo was able to pierce the net sending Leon on their way to their fourth game without a win.
The constant attack by the home-side gave them an opportunity to break the net. Leon played their hearts out but could not get past the Mexico City squad's defense. The esmeraldas were also without veteran leader Rafael Marquez. The former FC Barcelona defender missed his second game in a row due to muscle pains.
Bravo was able to take advantage of another counterstrike in the 68th minute to put the ball in the net for the 2-1. With the victory Pumas was able to defeat the panzas verdes for the first time since Leon returned to the maximum circuit.
Up next for Pumas, a home match at the Olimpico Universitario Stadium to take on Atlas FC. Leon faces Brazil's Flamengo in Copa Libertadores then travel to take on CF Monterrey at the Tecnologico Stadium in northern Mexico.
America falls in final minute
Antonio Mohamed's team lost their second game of the season 1-0 against CF Pachuca at the Azteca Stadium. The eagles were superior on the pitch, but they could not get the ball into the net. The hero was Hirving Lozano who entered the game in the 84th minute. In less than five minutes on the pitch Lozano, who was making his debut, put the ball past Moises Muñoz.
The eagles were without Argentine Rubens Sambueza who is serving a two game suspension. In his place, Miguel Layun performed brilliantly.
America remains in the 2nd position of the league table, one point behind leader Cruz Azul. While the eagles have 12 points, they have been inconsistent this season. They lost their first game against Xolos in Tijuana, now they lost a home game.
Pachuca will host Atlante FC in their next game, America will travel to Morelia in week 7.
Saturday's games:
Tigres UANL 1, Santos 1
Atlas 1, Monarcas Morelia 1

It's Black Music Month. Enjoy the 2014 series. Support the artists. Buy their licensed music. And turn up as you dance along.
Brief history: In 2010, I wrote a music series honoring Black Music Month on Associated Content's site (republished on Examiner). The focus was to honor new R&B singers, veteran R&B singers, solo rappers, and evenly split the musical salute between female and male rappers. The only artists I was not willing to split up were Salt n' Pepa because they worked as a unit. In 2014, it's about time to salute more artists, but in the spirit of Salt n' Pepa's legacy, R&B groups and rap groups will be included. The pattern in 2014 will be newer R&B singers (from 2000 to present), veteran R&B singers, R&B groups and/or hip-hop groups, and then solo rappers, still evenly split between women and men.
Black Music Month Turn Up Factor "Turn down for what?": Who can forget the soulful homage to Biz Markie's 1989 hit "Just a Friend" that stayed on the Billboard charts for 22 weeks and climbed all the way to number nine. Mario, with a "52" baggy jersey and braids, reminded us how hot the song was again in 2002. But he did it with a little bit less heartbreak and a helluva lot more swag. And it worked. The song stayed on the Billboard charts for 21 weeks and peaked at number four. He released four CDs total: "Mario" in 2002, "Turning Point" in 2004, "Go" in 2007 and "D.N.A." in 2009.
My Connection/First Memory to Artist: I was already a fan of his music and like many others, I thought he looked a helluva lot like a younger version of Chris Rock but slightly cooler and a bit more intense. But when I heard "Right and a Wrong Way" on the "Go" album, that blew me away. I have heard many artists hit a high note, and I'm usually not impressed. It seems like the go-to trick when singing the song's lyrics fail. Not so much with Mario. The opening to that song was incredible, and I have yet to listen to it without repeating the beginning at least five more times before I can hear the rest of the song. He's one of those artists who I think sounds good with or without the music, and watching him on "Sway in the Morning" just enjoying his own music proved he's a force to be reckoned with.
I had a temporary bone to pick with him for doing a PETA ad for "Ink, Not Mink" and then sending out a tweet saying, "Shout out to all my nigs walkin out the club wit [sic] the Minks!! Shit, at least u warm!" As a vegetarian who despises real fur, I felt some kind of way about that. Not just the encouragement of fur but to tweet it after doing the PETA ad. If you're down for a cause, be down for that cause. I wrote an op/ed piece for AC called "Do the celebrity models behind 'Ink, Not Mink' PETA ads really oppose fur?" However, I'm just not as extreme as Mayte from "Hollywood Exes" and came to the conclusion that you can't change a person's mindset by lashing out about it. And while I still cringe at the tweet, whenever I hear him sing, all I can think is, "What a phenomenal artist."
I also respected "Do Right." I miss the days when R&B singers would not only make women swoon while they croon but also bring awareness to bigger issues. In Mario's case, it was bringing awareness to the battles of drug addiction from his own family life. When artists present personal sides of their family life (and not in a planned reality show way), it's not only brave but may help someone else. And how can you not respect a man who sees the beauty in the Janelle Monaes of the world? It's nice to hear the love for chocolate women who keep their clothes on and still keep it sexy.
Numbers Don't Lie: He didn't stop with "Just a Friend." Several other Mario songs made it to Billboard, including "Braid My Hair" for eight weeks (peaked at number 74), "Let Me Love You" for 36 weeks (peaked at number one), "How Could You" for 17 weeks (peaked at number 52), "How Do I Breathe" for 10 weeks (peaked at number 46), "Crying Out for Me" for 20 weeks (peaked at number 33), "Break Up" featuring Gucci Mane and Sean Garrett for 23 weeks (peaked at number 14) and "Ooh Baby" cracked the top 100 at number 95.

Oxnard's Rio School District faces tough times
Budgetary woes, impending mass layoffs and alleged criminal misconduct by high-ranking officials mar the district's reputation
By David Michael Courtland 03/18/2010
The announcement was made at a relatively short, one-hour special meeting, followed by Finance Director Mark Krueger's report that the district will run out of money by Spring 2011 if costs are not drastically slashed.
By Friday, the total number of teachers facing layoffs grew from 46 announced at the meeting to 55. Besides those, six teachers retired, another six still on job probation will not be asked back.
Eleven temporary teachers were also laid off, making a total of 78 teachers leaving the district, out of 212, which is more than one-third of the teachers currently employed there.
"They would have to close three schools in order to lose that many teachers," said Rio Teachers Association (RTA) President Rebecca Barbetti.
The board also laid off a special program coordinator, but that doesn't affect the budget because that administrator's salary was paid from a separate state fund.
In 2008 and 2009, the 60 teachers tentatively laid off were spared when trustees recalled the pink slips in May, the official deadline for layoffs.
But it became less likely that scenario would occur this year as Krueger told trustees, and teachers attending the meeting with their families, that the district would be $500,000 in the red at the end of the coming fiscal year without concessions from teachers.
Krueger presented numbers that were arrived at by assuming teachers will make $1.1 million in concessions, including two furlough days this year and next year, which he said would amount to a 1 percent salary reduction.
He also recommended suspending the teachers' retirement fund and forgiving district contributions not made to it so far this year, prompting board President Tim Blaylock to ask, "Can't we just raid that fund?"
Krueger explained that the retirement fund is untouchable without the RTA's agreement. Rio is one of only six Ventura County school districts that have retirement funds established; Krueger noted it is the third-largest fund among those six.
"This is clearly going to take all of our efforts — we're going to have to have those concessions — is what you're saying," Blaylock said following Krueger's report.
"That's correct," said Krueger. "We've exhausted our options for making cuts without concessions."
Without concessions, the district faces $4.25 million in cost overruns at the end of fiscal year 2010-11. But even with them, Krueger's figures show the district going $3.15 million over budget.
If the board and teachers are unable to reach an agreement by spring, the district faces the prospect of being placed in receivership by the State Department of Education, which would assign a management team to take over day-to-day operations until the district is solvent again.
But Blaylock discounted that possibility in a Friday phone conversation, saying it is a decision two years down the road if it comes to that at all.
"The real issue here is that we have to cut $4.2 million from the budget and, to do that, we're going to need some concessions from the teacher's association," Blaylock said.
Blaylock indicated that the board may declare a fiscal emergency, giving it carte blanche authority to do whatever it takes to balance the budget — with or without the RTA's cooperation.
"That's a possibility," Blaylock said. "We're analyzing right now at what point we're going to run out of money. At that point, I believe that we'll declare an emergency."
Barbetti said the board has made that threat several times before, adding that California Teachers Association (CTA) lawyers have told her the move would be illegal since the board's contract with the RTA doesn't specifically give it that option.
"There would be a huge lawsuit," said Barbetti, who explained that the sticking point stopping teachers from discussing concessions is that the board refuses to hand over budget data the association has asked for
"The school board continues to ask RTA to come in and negotiate. We continue to tell them they need to give us the financial information we requested," said Barbetti.
"Until that happens, there will be no discussion," Barbetti continued. "Every opportunity they have, they blame the association instead of discussing a plan."
Among the questions the RTA has about the district's finances is why the budget cuts the board is asking for seem to be disproportionately larger than ones made in other Ventura County districts.
"Either there's some significant mismanagement going on, or somebody is lying," said Barbetti.
Allegations of lying and mismanagement are nothing new in Rio School District, where teacher Lynette Lucas' claims prompted an internal CTA investigation of RTA's finances earlier this year.
The CTA found no wrongdoing, but that didn't stop Lucas from castigating Barbetti at the March 8 meeting, calling some of Barbetti's past statements outright lies as she assured trustees there are teachers willing work with the board — possibly even enough for a union decertification vote.
Meanwhile, the board operates under the cloud of criminal charges against its superintendent and one of the trustees.
Superintendent Sherianne Cotterell faces a misdemeanor petty theft charge for allegedly shoplifting shoes at T.J. Maxx in Oxnard on July 20. Cotterell, who has blamed stress and health issues for the incident, has an April 16 hearing.
More recently, trustee Brian Martin has been charged with several counts of child molestation and a special allegation of causing great bodily injury -- the birth of a child. Martin's March 16 arraignment was postponed until March 30 in order to evaluate his finances and find out if he qualifies for services from the Ventura County Public Defender's Office. Martin, an electrician, mechanic and former president of the board, posted $250,000 bail March 1.
Martin, a former president of the board who did not attend Monday's meeting, was one of three trustees forced into a recall election in 2006 but was re-elected with two new trustees.
"These people have changed from what we believed they were," said Jim Pearson, who supported the recall effort and whose wife is among the teachers who got pink slips. "They've let us down horribly."

Thank you David for finally putting an article out there that addresses what is going on in the Rio School District. The STAR seems to only print one-sided stories. As a teacher in the Rio School District it is extremely disheartening to know that immoral people such as Sherianne Cotterell and Brian Martin are in charge. Other than bringing embarrassment to our district what has Sherrianne Cotterell done? Tim Blaylock is constantly praising and protecting Cotterell saying that she has done so many great things for Rio, but as a teacher I have not seen them. What has Sherrianne done other than change the logo? She got rid of teaming (a research based method for improving education) at the middle school and created a revolving door of administrators at Rio Vista middle School (3 principals in 3 years), and creatde discontent and discord. The Rio School District needs to have open communication with RTA and start making the education of Rio students a priority.

ASK IRA: Whose team? Who cares?
Q: This type of "whose team" talk has the potential to divide our team before they even play a game. Let's not kill a good thing by stirring up strife that's not there. — Reginald.
A: Agreed, but it's not as if the discussion is going to disappear. It's not, especially on a national level. This team will be dissected like few others in recent years. And, honestly, I get the sense some of the national pundits would love to see this team implode, to have their I-told-you-so moments. No, the debate will not go away. This could be a season where it might be more enjoyable to take in the Sun Sports feed when the games also are on ESPN or TNT.
Q: Who really cares whose team this is as long as they win? Am I wrong? — Frank.
A: You're not wrong if you're looking for the Heat to succeed. It will be interesting to watch how Erik Spoelstra handles those questions for his mandatory interviews with the national broadcasters. Figure on Wade and LeBron doing plenty of side-by-side interviews to start the season.
Q: Now that Beasley, Q- Rich, and Jermaine are gone, tell us what you saw firsthand with Wade carrying the weight last season. I know everyone had their moments and Wade is relatively low key, but he had to be frustrated with their play. — Palmer.
A: Actually, quite the opposite. I think Dwyane accepted that it would be a transitional season. I believe he was able to muster that patience because he had an inkling of what was to follow, with a clear understanding that LeBron and Bosh were possibilities as future teammates.
Q: Come playoff time all teams shorten their rotations to about eight to 10. We know the Big Three will be in, with U.D. and Miller. So who will be the other five Spo' will trust in crunch time? — Joe.
A: Again, as the answer has been almost daily, the season will resolve much of that. And I also think there may be a playoff component or two who aren't even currently with the team. I'd say at least one of the current point guards would have to be in that mix, either Arroyo or Chalmers (or an acquired replacement), plus Eddie House (a big-shot performer), Ilgauskas, Joel Anthony for his defense and that might be it.
Q. I always wondered why Miami opted to leave Yakhouba Diawara on the bench for the entire season last year and why they did not elect to re-sign him for the league minimum when he obviously has skills and gets along well with everyone on the team. What do you think? — Jeff.
A: I think there simply was no room left at his position with the acquisition of James and Miller, as well as the agreement to bring back James Jones. Plus, there is the intrigue of Da'Sean Butler in a similar role. As for last season, once Quentin Richardson emerged as revelation and Dorell Wright finally produced, the opportunity similarly was lost. But I am glad to see Yakhouba got off to a nice start in Italy with his new team.

This question already has an answer here:
- How do I destroy a hard disk? 23 answers
What is a repeatable way of destroying SSDs? For example, if i opened it which part could i take out and destroy for just the data(How to identify the actual "storage unit")?
Case 1. Normal user that wants to be reasonably sure that their data is not easily recovered?
Case 2. Consider that the data is sensitive and the drive is already encrypted. The requirement is that the data should be forever irrecoverable which means the encryption in itself is not enough to satisfy the requirement.
Intent: SSDs are electronic compared to its mechanical counterpart so the answer in the question How do I destroy a hard disk? is not applicable because of their inherent differences. I'm all for updating the original question(Making it canonical) based on this question and closing this as a duplicate afterwards.

For "Star Wars: Episode VII," director J.J. Abrams has tapped numerous members of the original trilogy cast, including Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Harrison Ford as Han Solo, and Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia.
Not returning for the sequel: Princess Leia's hair buns.
In an extensive interview with The Guardian, Fisher talked about all manner of "Star Wars" topics, including her character's iconic look from the original film, "A New Hope." Fisher said that fans shouldn't bank on seeing that look again in the upcoming sequel.
"That hairdo can never really be repeated without gales of laughter," she said. "I've begged them to put the hair back on in grey and just catch me cooking with the hair, like Granny Leia."
Fisher's lips were sealed when it comes to specific "Episode VII" details — "I would get in trouble no matter how I answer that question" — but she did weigh in on what it was like to reassemble with her old castmembers.
"We all look a little melted. It's good to see other melted people," she joked. "And it's good to have us all in a room because it's unique. I mean, I don't suppose they have reunions for the Gone With The Wind gang."
Fisher, Ford and Hamill are just some of the "Episode VII" cast, with newcomers including John Boyega, Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley.
"Star Wars: Episode VII" lands on December 18, 2015.

text: Despite the furor over his future, Tottenham Hotspur star Luka Modric is still set to fly to South Africa for the club's pre-season tour. The 25-year-old has been linked with moves to Manchester United and Chelsea, and caused a contrpversy after claiming that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy threatened not play him if the midfielder continued his plea to leave for Chelsea. Both Tottenham and Chelsea are keeping mum on whether a deal is being bandied about for the Croatian international, but it is believed the Blues have tabled an improved offer in the region of £27 million. Modric's agent Nikki Arthur Vuksan confirmed his client will play in the Vodacom Challenge tournament with Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates. "Of course Luka will be going to South Africa," said Vuksan. "He is a Tottenham player and he has a contract there." Spurs' first match is on Saturday against Chiefs at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
