Greg Hardy's Appeal Hearing On 10-Game Suspension Thursday
DallasCowboys.com Senior Writer
IRVING, Texas – The appeal hearing of defensive end Greg Hardy's 10-game NFL suspension was set for Thursday morning in Washington D.C.
Once the hearing is complete, the timetable for a ruling is unknown but could take several days based on past appeal processes for other suspended NFL players.
On April 22 the league announced Hardy's 10-game suspension without pay "for conduct detrimental to the league in violation of the NFL Constitution and By-Laws, the NFL Player Contract, and the NFL Personal Conduct Policy." The NFL Players Association immediately filed the appeal. The NFL appointed third-party arbitrator Harold Henderson to hear it.
Until Hardy's suspension goes into effect on Sept. 5, he's eligible to participate in all offseason activities with the team including workouts, OTAs, minicamp and training camp. He has been a regular participant in the offseason program but was scheduled to miss Thursday's voluntary OTA session to attend the appeal hearing.
The Cowboys aren't involved in the appeal. The team has stated that it respects the league's decision to suspend Hardy 10 games following an extensive review and will let the process play out.
"No real comment beyond just supporting him and this is part of the process that he's going to go through in appealing this suspension," Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said Wednesday. "He and his representatives will handle it as well as they can and we'll see what happens. The biggest thing is to handle it the right way. We're going to try to handle it the right way as an organization and we expect him to handle it the right way as an individual player."
If Hardy's 10-game suspension is upheld, he'd be eligible to make his regular-season Cowboys debut on Thanksgiving against his former team, the Carolina Panthers.
Hardy's new teammates have praised his work ethic and approach to workouts so far.
"He's probably the hardest-working one on the D-Line," rookie defensive end Randy Gregory said. "He does a good job setting the tempo for us and things like that."

We are Church: Women in the Catholic Church – Vatican's consequent change-in-mind concerning the
Rome / Munich, February 9, 2008
Commentary on the international congress of the "Papal Council for the Laity", Rome, February 7-9, 2008, held on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Apostolic Letter "Mulieris Dignitatem" (August 15, 1988)
The International Movement We are Church, a Catholic reform movement, hopes and expects that the congress in Rome shows a consequent change-in-mind in the question of gender and of women's rights. This international congress bears the great chance of
granting women to speak for themselves with their charismas,
focussing the reality of life of women in the various continents,
placing new accents for gender justice in the roman catholic church.
This would be an inspiring model especially for those countries, in which women are still oppressed and abused. For the sake of our church's future, the catholic reform movement wishes on the conference the blessing and wisdom of God's Holy Spirit.
The individual topics of the meeting like
"Reflections about the changes in the question of women's rights since 1988",
"Mary and the position of women in the Bible",
"Meaning of man and woman being image of God",
"Responsibility of women in church and society" or
"Social situation of women in diverse cultures and countries"
should offer enough space for open discussions in order to take up and judge contemporarily today's problems.
"Moreover, a factual dialogue with feministic theology and recognition of gender justice inside church structures are overdue and have to appear on the agenda of this conference", demands Angelika Fromm, speaker of the women group of "We are Church" in Germany. "The roman catholic church keeps on addressing appeals to politics and society, but inside her own structures church refuses establishing gender justice and instead disguises the real degradation of women by idealising woman's image. This behaviour is not credible."
If this congress intends to encourage women to put their treasure of "female genius" into service of apostolate, family, world of labour and culture, this has to be realized also in church structures and hierarchy. The mere talking of "woman's dignity" is no longer sufficient, whilst treating women in the same church as they were incapable of ordination and refusing them equal rights of participating in church development, using antiquated argumentation, Angelika Fromm points out.
It would be extremely unfortunate not dealing with all trends of roman Catholicism and the congress being held by the Vatican only as "alibi event", putting only into scene a participation of women, but in reality preventing it completely.
The congress "Woman and man, the humanum in its entirety" is held by the "Papal Council for the Laity" in Rome from February 7 to 9, 2008 on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Apostolic Letter "Mulieris Dignitatem" published by Pope John Paul II on August 15, 1988. At that time, the Pope personally meditated about a specific topic concerning women; now, after all, 250 women and men of all five continents were selected and invited to reflect on the position of women in church and society.
The International Movement We are Church, a Catholic reform movement, intercedes for equal access of women to all church functions, for an equal mentioning of women and men in church publications, for a female image of God and a female liturgy. The movement "Lila Stola" ("purple stole") stands for these activities worldwide.

Erdogan: Turkey will continue its efforts under the wheat deal despite Russia's reluctance
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday that Turkey would continue its efforts for a deal to export grain across the Black Sea, despite Russia's reluctance, after Moscow suspended its participation in the initiative over the weekend.
"Even if Russia has acted hesitantly because it has not reaped the same benefits, we will vigorously continue our efforts to serve humanity," added Erdogan. in a speech.
"Although Russia is reluctant because it does not have the same facilities (as Ukraine), we are determined to continue efforts in the service of humanity," said the Turkish president, one of the sponsors of the agreement signed on July 19 in Istanbul.
Separately, a UN spokesperson said that the first of Monday's planned inspections of 40 ships had been completed in Istanbul waters only by a UN and Turkish team, rather than previous teams that also included Russians and Ukrainians before that. Moscow suspended its role in the agreement.
Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kobrakov said 12 ships moved from Ukrainian ports today, Monday, as part of the Black Sea Grains Initiative, after a UN spokesperson for the initiative told Reuters that Teams from Turkey and the United Nations had resumed inspection of ships under agreement control. .
On Saturday, Russia suspended its participation in the agreement to export Ukrainian grain from Black Sea ports "indefinitely" due to what it described as its inability to "ensure the safety of civilian ships" sailing under the agreement after its Black Sea fleet was attacked.
"Today 12 ships left Ukrainian ports. The UN and Turkish delegations sent 10 inspection teams to inspect 40 ships with the aim of fulfilling their obligations under the Black Sea Grain Initiative. The Ukrainian delegation accepted this plan. inspection. The Russian delegation was informed, "Kobrakov tweeted.
The United Nations said it has agreed with Ukraine and Turkey a plan for the movement of 16 ships today, Monday, of which 12 will leave Ukrainian ports and four will enter, and also intend to inspect 40 ships during the day that relocate. and now they are anchored near Istanbul.

ICETE's 2012 Consultation
With deep sadness
Rooted! Engaged!
Beforehand
ICETE's 2012 International Consultation for Theological Educators, meeting in October in Nairobi, Kenya, was the best attended and most diversely representative of such ICETE gatherings since the first one was held thirty-two years ago. Participants came from 65 countries, representing eight regional associations of theological schools that together cover all parts of the world, plus numerous organisations involved in resourcing and support for theological education. As such the 2012 Consultation has been referenced as "among the most significant gatherings of theological educators in the last decade."
Using the theme 'Rooted in the Word, Engaged in the World', the ICETE 2012 Consultation focused participants on the historic document emerging from Lausanne's 2010 Congress, the Cape Town Commitment. The Consultation programme was framed to ask: as a contemporary expression of the Christian community worldwide, what does the Cape Town Commitment have to say to today's theological educators? In this way the ICETE gathering in Nairobi became a 'consultation' not only among theological educators but deliberately a conversation with the global church. As is customary at ICETE's triennial events, the programme was also enriched by plenary interaction sessions, morning Bible readings, afternoon electives, evening community forums, and extensive free time for informal networking. The relational and professional climate of the event was such that one participant reported afterward: "When I come to ICETE Consultations I am so encouraged by what I learn and by conversations with those that I meet. If I were a poet, I would compose a psalm of praise to God."
It is with deep sadness and regret that ICETE announces the recent passing of ICETE's Associate International Director, Dr Douglas Carew. Dr Carew passed away in his sleep on 9 November, just three weeks after the ICETE Consultation in Nairobi. Although he had been hospitalised for a complaint earlier in the year, his death came as a considerable shock. He was 56 years of age. In his capacity as head of Africa International University, the hosting institution in Nairobi for the ICETE Consultation, Dr Carew played a key role both in preparations for that event and in chairing many of the sessions. In addition he gave a moving commemorative address about John Stott. Additional to his ICETE and AIU leadership roles, Douglas Carew was also chair of the Accrediting Council for Theological Education in Africa (ACTEA). Originally from Sierra Leone, he held degrees from the University of Sierra Leone and NEGST, and a PhD in OT studies from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in the USA. He was a lecturer in biblical studies from 1989 onward, first at Sierra Leone Bible College and thereafter at AIU/NEGST. Along with other writings, he contributed to the Africa Bible Commentary, and to the New International Dictionary of OT Theology and Exegesis.
ICETE's International Director, Paul Sanders, speaking in tribute to Dr Carew, pointed out that his impact "went far beyond the borders of Kenya, to all of Africa and to the global entities of evangelical theological education." "What has always struck and inspired me about Douglas was his powerful gentleness as a leader. He embodied the reality that 'meekness' and 'weakness' are not synonyms. He led not based on his own needs, but on his vision and his resolve to carry out that vision. As a true leader, Douglas wonderfully fulfilled the Pauline commission to empower, to entrust, and to endure (2 Tim 2)." Douglas Carew is survived by his wife Ayiku, and three adult children. A video of his commemorative address about John Stott is viewable at: http://theologicaleducation.net/articles/admin_view.htm?id=pzmowky2_226
Chris Wright, principal framer of the Cape Town Commitment, and an honoured member of ICETE's Council of Reference, opened ICETE's 2012 Consultation on Monday evening, 15 October, with a powerful exposition of that document, and of the Consultation theme, for those engaged in evangelical theological education globally.
On Tuesday morning Douglas Carew (Kenya) linked the Consultation theme commemoratively to John Stott, vivifying that theme as lived out in the person and ministry of Uncle John. Langham assisted with a tribute video, and Lausanne with a booklet about Stott. Also individual ICETE participants reflected briefly on their own experience of John Stott, including his exceptional commitments both to the majority world and to the role of theological education, and his friendly support of ICETE itself.
Also on Tuesday morning Lausanne's Doug Birdsall gave a plenary address on 'The Vision of Lausanne for Theological Education', while on Friday morning Geoff Tunnicliffe of the World Evangelical Alliance spoke on 'Theological Education's Role in Global Evangelicalism'. By featuring such individuals who are both close to ICETE and principal leaders in global evangelicalism, the ICETE community was seeking to position itself at the heart of global evangelical identity, reflection, commitment and advance at this time, and address its particular role in that setting.
In support of this framing of the programme the mid-week sessions were full of specific content. On Wednesday morning Carver Yu (Hong Kong) and Myrto Theocharous (Cyprus) explored the theme of Attentively Rooted!, while on Thursday Havilah Dharamraj (India) and Enrique Fernández (Costa Rica) developed the theme of Energetically Engaged! The week's concluding sessions on Friday, 19 October, wrapped up the Consultation with a summary and a look to the future, led by Paul Sanders (France) and Riad Kassis (Lebanon), respectively ICETE's current Director and ICETE's Director-Designate.
The ICETE 2012 Consultation was preceded by three other key events held at the same venue in Nairobi. The first was the meeting of the ICETE Board, in which the strategic future of ICETE and its member agencies was discussed, and the appointment of Dr Riad Kassis as ICETE's new International Director was formalised. This event was followed by the Third ICETE Doctoral Consultation, bringing together representatives of leading evangelical doctoral programmes of the majority world, and building on the work done by this group in Beirut in 2010 (producing the Beirut Benchmarks) and in Bangalore in 2011 (producing the Bangalore Affirmations). The keynote address was by David Baer of Overseas Council, titled 'Studying Love: The Doctoral Experience as Obedience to the Two Greatest Commandments'. The third event in the sequence was the ICETE Leaders Colloquium, which included special briefings by leaders from the Lausanne Movement, the World Evangelical Alliance, Langham Partnership, and Overseas Council, together with input from ICETE's leadership and member associations, and from representatives of the 16 ICETE Associate and 6 ICETE Affiliate entities which link to ICETE with resourcing and support ministries for theological education.
ICETE is a global community, sponsored by eight regional associations of theological schools, to facilitate collaboration worldwide for excellence and renewal in evangelical theological education. The eight sponsoring associations together cover all parts of the world, with a combined constituency of more than 872 evangelical theological schools in 113 countries. This represents globally a student population in excess of a hundred thousand presently in preparation for church leadership roles, predominantly in the majority world. ICETE was established in 1980, and functions as a Global Partner within the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA).
"ICETE is a unique forum in which leaders of theological training institutions from every corner of the globe can feel at home, valued, encouraged, challenged and supported."

Probe sought in Trump administration's ouster of scientist
Posted: Apr 22, 2020 / 03:40 PM PDT / Updated: Apr 23, 2020 / 03:23 PM PDT
FILE – This Monday, April 6, 2020 file photo shows an arrangement of hydroxychloroquine pills in Las Vegas. According to a study released on Tuesday, April 21, 2020, the malaria drug widely touted by President Donald Trump for treating the new coronavirus showed no benefit in an analysis of its use in U.S. veterans hospitals. There were more deaths among those given hydroxychloroquine versus standard care, researchers report. (AP Photo/John Locher)
WASHINGTON (AP) — Calls mounted Thursday for an investigation into the ouster of a senior government scientist who says he's being punished for opposing widespread use of an unproven drug President Donald Trump touted as a remedy for COVID-19.
Rick Bright, former director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, says he was summarily removed from his job earlier this week and reassigned to a lesser role because he resisted political pressure to allow widespread use of hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug favored by Trump.
On Thursday, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Frank Pallone, D-N.J., joined in calling for an investigation by the Health and Human Services inspector general.
"Removing Dr. Bright in the midst of a pandemic would raise serious concerns under any circumstances, but his allegations that political considerations influenced this decision heighten those concerns and demand full accountability," Pallone said. The inspector general's office had no immediate response.
Bright is seeking to be reinstated as head of the research agency, said his lawyers Debra Katz and Lisa Banks. A performance review shows he received a top rating.
Controversy has swirled around hydroxychloroquine since Trump started promoting it from the podium in the White House briefing room.
BARDA, the agency that Bright formerly headed, is a unit of HHS created to counter threats from bioterrorism and infectious diseases. It has recently been trying to jump-start work on a vaccine for the coronavirus.
"I am speaking out because to combat this deadly virus, science — not politics or cronyism — has to lead the way," Bright, who has a doctoral degree in immunology, said a statement released Wednesday by his lawyers.
"Specifically, and contrary to misguided directives, I limited the broad use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, promoted by the administration as a panacea, but which clearly lack scientific merit," Bright said.
"I also resisted efforts to fund potentially dangerous drugs promoted by those with political connections," he added.
Asked about Bright at Wednesday's briefing, Trump said he "never heard of him."
"The guy says he was pushed out of a job," Trump said. "Maybe he was. Maybe he wasn't. … I don't know who he is."
Bright's lawyers said Thursday they will soon file formal complaints with the HHS inspector general and the Office of Special Counsel, an independent agency that has as part of its charge the protection of government whistleblowers.
"While I am prepared to look at all options and to think 'outside the box' for effective treatments, I rightly resisted efforts to provide an unproven drug on demand to the American public," Bright wrote in his statement.
He also alluded to "clashes with HHS political leadership" over his efforts to "invest early in vaccines and supplies critical to saving American lives." One of the major criticisms of the Trump administration's pandemic response is that little was done in the month of February to stockpile needed equipment.
"Science, in service to the health and safety of the American people, must always trump politics," Bright said.
Trump has repeatedly touted the malaria drug during his regular coronavirus briefings, calling it a "game changer," and suggesting its skeptics would be proved wrong. He has offered patient testimonials that the drug is a lifesaver.
But a recent study of 368 patients in U.S. veterans hospitals found no benefit from hydroxychloroquine — and more deaths. The study was an early look at the medication, which has prompted debate in the medical community, with many doctors leery of using it.
In a statement, HHS confirmed that Bright is no longer at the BARDA agency, but did not address his allegations of political interference in scientific matters.
HHS said it was Bright who had requested an emergency use authorization for chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. For his part, Bright said he had insisted that the authorization be limited to a restricted group of patients, those hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19 under the supervision of a doctor.
Hydroxychloroquine was given to patients in the New York area, the nation's most intense COVID-19 hot spot. It is usually administered in combination with the antibiotic azithromycin.
An official biography describes Bright as a flu and infectious-disease expert who joined the agency 10 years ago and was focused on vaccine development. He also held the title of HHS deputy assistant secretary for preparedness and response, reporting to Dr. Robert Kadlec.
Bright's performance review shows he got the highest rating — "Level 5 – Achieved Outstanding Results" — in federal fiscal year 2019.
"Dr. Bright continues a very successful tenure in leading BARDA performing an essential (HHS) mission of developing and acquiring medical countermeasures for the Strategic National Stockpile," wrote Kadlec, his boss, adding, "I have confidence" that Bright would meet future challenges facing the agency.
A copy of Bright's performance review was provided to The Associated Press.
HHS said Bright is now assigned to the National Institutes of Health, working on new approaches to testing.
His allegations were first reported by The New York Times.
Associated Press writers Aamer Madhani, Deb Riechmann and Dustin Weaver contributed to this report.

Make mine a micro-job! Why working one day a week is the secret of happiness
We don't usually re-post media articles in this section, but this recent piece from the Guardian UK was worth it!
The cheeriest employees are those who spend most of their time at leisure, research has confirmed. Is this the end of the 40-hour week?
Name: The secret of happiness.
Age: Older than I look. I put my youthfulness down to my working regime.
Appearance: Very occasional.
I thought you looked unfamiliar. Yes, I'm here on Mondays only.
How come? Because I work only one day a week, which, according to researchers at the University of Cambridge, is the secret of happiness.
Sounds ridiculous. Apparently not. They have been tracking people in lockdown and discovered that the happiest people are those who work just one or two days a week. A minimal presence gives you just as much satisfaction as the traditional five-day week, while working one day a week provides a huge mental health boost compared with not working at all.
Who did the research? Prof Brendan Burchell, the head of the university's "employment dosage" project, led the team.
Hard-working chap? He punishes himself with a three-day week. His research during lockdown backs up a large-scale study from 2019 in which he was involved, the key finding of which was that, in terms of mental wellbeing, the most "effective dose" of paid work was a day a week. Anything more than that made virtually no difference.
So much for the 40-hour week. "The traditional model, in which everyone works around 40 hours a week, was never based on how much work was good for people," says Senhu Wang, one of the co-authors of the original report. "Our research suggests micro-jobs provide the same psychological benefits as full-time jobs."
We have been conned. That is very much Burchell's view. "Why do we think working 40 hours a week is normal? At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, people were working 100-hour weeks, but in the UK that stopped decades ago."
Sounds like pie in the sky – something that may work in Cambridge, but won't mean much to minimum-wage workers in Coventry. There is a supposition underpinning the research, which is that artificial intelligence is going to absorb a lot of our jobs. With less human work to go around, it will have to be shared out. Spain, Germany and New Zealand are already trialling a four-day working week and Burchell reckons we can expect further reductions.
Would we get paid as much for working one day a week as we do for five? The unspoken assumption is that some form of universal basic income would supplement our paid work – something not unlike the furlough scheme, which has been made more flexible with input from the Cambridge team. The socioeconomic revolution starts here.
But I like working 80 hours a week! Don't be absurd. Go for a nice, long walk.
Not to be confused with: Pointless and unproductive presenteeism.
Don't say: "People have been banging on for years about robots taking over human work, and it never happens. For many in the real world, the working week just gets longer and longer."
Do say: "See you at the same time next week?"

In some cases it was due to manual intervention and a snapmirror or snapvault relationship was broken, in others it was caused by DFM creating new instances of the volume but not cleaning up old volumes and associated snapshots and in other cases, well I've no idea how they occurred. Hence why I've been slapping my brain around the inside of my skull. I'd be interested to know if this is still an issue with OCUM, answers on a postcard.
There's no pretty way to clean up orphaned snapshots that are essentially owned by DFM. It's messy, convoluted and requires that you're very careful and precise about what you're removing otherwise you'll make things worse. There are a number of reasons why orphans can occur. One is down to the way SnapProtect and the DFM work together. If a VM is deleted or moved to another volume and no other VM's that are a part of that same backup subclient exist on that volume the snapshots will not age and will require a manual clean-up process. This seems to limit the use of automated DRS in VMware, but that's a separate issue really. Another reason, and what looks to be the cause in my case, is that DFM has intermittent issues communication to the storage controller and thinks the volume doesn't exist so it DFM may create a FlexClone of the volume and index it to have a new suffix while still being able to access the snapshots that were already captured. This can be caused by network drop outs out by the controllers or the CPUs maxing out and not being able to reply to DFM. I'm still investigating the cause of this. If a new storage policy was created in SnapProtect with these volumes assigned it would clear out the orphans but that would involve re-baselining the backups which is not something you'd want to do, unless of course that data had to value to you.


PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Commission on Status of Women (KPCSW) has inaugurated a web portal aimed at promoting women empowerment agenda in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Neelam Toru, Chairperson, KPCSW, Qamar Naseem, Program Coordinator, Blue Veins and Abdul Qadir, Coordination Officer, KPCSW shared their views regarding need and significance of online presence for KPCSW.
Ms. Neelum Toru, Chairperson of KPCSW stated that the website launch and the robust information it provides for the public, other government/non-government departments and media to better understand our vision, mission and mandate.
She said that we believe that this website will allow our visitors to have useful information as we continue to grow and increase our efforts to oversee implementation of laws, policies and programs related to women and propose new measures where gaps exist, saying that she also explained the nature and scope of work of the KPCSW.
The launching ceremony of KPCSW website, was organized by Blue Veins under a project "policy advocacy and research to strengthen implementation of pro-women legislation and Gender-Based Violence (GBV) response services in KP" with assistance from Australian Government and Trócaire at Peshawar press club on Tuesday.
Staff members of BV further elaborated the different aspects of the website and answered queries asked by participants. The website features a user-friendly interface with up-to-date information on the KPCSW.
On the Occasion, Qamar Naseem Program Coordinator Blue Veins said "National human rights institutions (NHRIs) are now, beyond a doubt, valued as essential actors in the task of protecting and promoting human rights at the national and regional levels.
He added that to this end, they must work with one another to meet evolving developments and challenges in the exercise of human rights by all.
Abdul Qadir, Coordination Officer, KPCSW shed light on the proposed tentative future initiatives in relation to the online presence of the KPCSW. The Commission has drawn up a plan to encapsulate the widest scope of actions and goals that may be achieved through the website.
He maintained that key element in the plan is to develop a forum through the website to enable members of the general public to record their complaints and recommendations so that the Commission may act upon them as per its mandate.
The website has been developed in lines with the principles of public access to information. It will serve as a bridge between the public and KPCSW on the issues related to women.

Sacramento City School District Email Claims 'Racism is Prevalent Throughout This Country, Including in Sacramento'
This is exactly what they think of you
By Katy Grimes, June 2, 2020 4:39 pm
In an email sent out June 1st by officials in the Sacramento City Unified School District, the subject – "Advisory of Citywide Curfew" – deviated from the purpose of the message about the curfew straight into offensive shaming and pandering.
Dear Sac City Unified Community:
We acknowledge the pain associated with the death of George Floyd and the racism that is prevalent throughout this country, including in Sacramento. We value protest. However, we learned that due to instances of violence and looting, the City of Sacramento is imposing a curfew beginning tonight at 7:00 pm with an increased police presence.
We are asking parents/guardians to partner with our district, the City of Sacramento and the Black Child Legacy Campaign to account for your student in compliance with the curfew mandate.
Thank you for your contribution to the safety of our youth and community.
Copyright © 2020 Sacramento City Unified School District, All rights reserved.
The email message went to all SCUSD employees, parents of SCUSD students, and community members.
A teacher friend was livid, and responded saying the statement about this city, its residents, and the country, is vile.
This is the same school district which killed a wildly successful Competitive Academic Program because Sacramento school district officials deemed it "too white." Parents reported white and Asian kids were purposely removed from program lottery.
California Globe reported recently when Sacramento City School District Superintendent Jorge Aguilar took a significant pay increase, while schools are closed, and after stating last year that he would not accept a salary increase while the District had significant financial issues.
Superintendent Aguilar's total compensation climbed from $380,692.47 to $414,818, an increase of $34,126 or 9.0%. This does not include Mr. Aguilar's second salary from UC Merced.
And the same school district continues to be in dire financial straits. The California State Auditor reported in December that the Sacramento school district is facing insolvency as early as 2020. "Because It Has Failed to Proactively Address Its Financial Challenges, It May Soon Face Insolvency," the auditor wrote. The primary cause and effect is as the teachers union maintains complete control of the budget, "Sacramento Unified has not proactively addressed its financial problems and is close to insolvency—it projects facing a $19.1 million shortfall in fiscal year 2021–22."
In March 2019, California Globe reported Sacramento school district Superintendent Jorge Aguilar and seven other administrators spent more than $35,000 to attend a six-day conference at the Harvard Business School, while the district teetered on the verge of insolvency, and under the threat of state takeover as it struggled with a $35 million budget gap.
With all classes in the Sacramento school district cancelled likely until the end of the year according to Gov. Gavin Newsom, after receiving this offensive email message, don't be surprised if many parents pull their kids for good.
This is exactly what they think of you.

Steph B says:
Your privilege is showing and it's ugly. The District is poorly run but accurately acknowledging that racism, discrimination and a lack of police oversight is seen in Sacramento. Scott Jones has County residents on the financial hook for his department's sheriff-contributing inmate and lethal force deaths. The grand jury called for oversight which he Trump-like ignored and he refuses body camera use. Yeh, that's what systematic racism stems from!
juggernaut says:
@ Steph B – your racism, hate, envy and ignorance is showing and it's morbidly ugly.
What's your problem with white people, huh?
Racism is definitely alive and well in the chest cavity of this guy where his heart should be.
What hatred and hypocrisy. All this sort of talk ever serves is telling minorities it's ok to hate, blame, abuse, etc … Caucasians. When they do they're actually being racist against white people since their actions are based on race, but that never registers with them.
What a sick and evil little twerp this aguilar is.
Renee Webster-Hawkins says:
Dear Ms. Grimes, your profile describes you as a truth-seeker. I respectfully offer you my perspective. Based on your picture and profession, I will assume that like you, I am a white woman with privilege. I don't know anything else about you. I will tell you about me. I have lived in Sacramento since 1989 after serving in the United States Air Force. I have a Black son and an Asian Pacific Islander son. Both in SCUSD. I see from the front row how they and other students of color are downdrafted, discounted and mislabeled to their detriment in their educational records, leaving a stain that forecasts their future teachers' assessment of them before they even meet them. I am very engaged in all levels of parent engagement, at the school and District level. If you have followed the governance of this District since Superintendent Aguilar arrived 3 years ago, you will know that he and other members of the Board of Trustees and Cabinet frequently state the fact that the educational system is racist by design. Based on a number of quantifiable metrics measured by the District and independent data. Not to shame or pander. But to speak the truth and inspire action to right the wrongs. I would argue with you that the oft-repeated statement by the leadership in the curfew email is not a deviation from the purpose of the email, but rather goes right to the heart of it. Racism drives police brutality and disproportionate impacts from COVID19 which drives the community's need to protest which also instigates anxiety and unfortunately prompts some looting and vandalism which triggers the curfew. That is not a circuitous route at all, but rather a 400-year-long steel cable that connects the curfew to the root cause: Racism. I notice that you deviated from the purposes of the email, delving into stale issues (not new news) like the Superintendent's pay and decisions to dismantle specialty programs that favor white students. Since you are a truth seeker, I will offer to you that the federal Office of Civil Rights has confirmed that the SCUSD GATE (gifted) programs systemically discriminated against students of color, and that a national audit of the District's special education programs found that the District significantly discriminated against Black students, English language learners, and students with disabilities — even far above the statewide trend of significant disproportionality against these student groups. And the trip to the Harvard Business School was 100% grant funded. I can provide source documents for each of these statements if you are interested. Reasonable people can and do debate the salary issue. But, to your point, it deviates from the issue of the curfew email. There is no shaming or pandering here. There is a call to action, which I am hearing and acting upon. Will you join me?
JF says:
Everything you said is bravo Sierra. And I'm a minority.
Administration at our nearly all white private school sent similar emails in support of BLM this week asking parents to teach their kids about racism including links to anti-racism for white people, tolerance, how to talk about racism and violence. Needless to say we were not happy. We were already considering leaving to homeschool next year. This is not helping.
daryl jefferson says:
We all know that the reopenings are a product of data and of conscience.. the problem though is while we are patiently waiting for three months, all of the tension that is building up has no place to go and has led to the fury in the streets that we are witnessing now let alone the economic fallout also… we cant wait any longer… we should reopen right now while quarantining the sick and the high risk and monitor the healthy!!! Let the healthy and able go back to work…. This is like Moses let my people go b4 more of the wrath of the situation is unleashed in dire fury.. What does it take to see that you cannot pen Gods people up like this without consequences…
Again quarantine the sick like the lepers of the Bible were separated, and monitor the healthy and protect the women and children…

When Brasenose College extended its student library into the old cloisters and required a hardwearing wood finish for the tops of the new desks, they turned to Osmo UK to provide a product that would protect and preserve the wooden surfaces.
Situated in the heart of Oxford, Brasenose College overlooks Radcliffe Square and is a short walk from University departments and libraries, as well as shops, pubs, cafes and markets. The Brasenose Library is central to the college and holds more than 60,000 books and periodicals. With a steady stream of students using these facilities every day, the new desk tops have to be hard wearing in order not to deteriorate and become damaged over time.
Ideal for solid, engineered or laminate wood, Polyx®-Oil is a high quality, water-repellent and tread-resistant wood finish based on natural ingredients. Available in a glossy, satin, semi-matt and matt finishes, the Polyx®-Oil range offers the highest coverage of any oil on the market - a 2.5 litre can cover approximately 30m² with two coats.
Polyx®-Oil is extremely easy to apply. Simply brush onto the woods surface along the grain to achieve deep, long-lasting penetration. Another key benefit of this hardwax-oil is that Polyx®-Oil uses a dearomatized and benzene free white spirit, therefore making the odour more pleasant in comparison to others. This makes Polyx®-Oil a much healthier wood care product to use. Polyx®-Oil also contains no biocides or preservatives and is safe for humans, animals and plants when dry.

Embroiled in Fake News, Chabad Center Launches #Share4Justice
A video shared by the White House claimed rocks at Chabad of Sherman Oaks in California were placed by George Floyd rioters. In reality, that wasn't the case and Rabbi Mendel Lipskier is responding with a positive campaign. Full Story, Video
By COLlive reporter
Last week, the White House tweeted a video showing a compilation of images and videos claiming that "Antifa and professional anarchists" were collecting rocks to instigate violence in the aftermath of George Floyd's death by a police officer in Minnesota.
One of the images in the video showed Chabad of Sherman Oaks in California. Only, Chabad of Sherman Oaks immediately released a short statement dispelling the rumors.
They pointed out that the rocks outside their center were nothing other than security barriers and explained that the rocks were temporarily removed to alleviate concerns that the enclosures could be vandalized and the rocks used by rioters.
The White House has since deleted the tweet and video which has been called out as "fake news."
Rabbi Mendel Lipskier, Director of Chabad of Sherman Oaks, was very disappointed by the mistake. "It's unfortunate that our Chabad Center, a place which stands for love and kindness, was mistakenly implicated in divisive behavior," he said.
Rabbi Lipskier believes that the way to heal our divided society is not with destruction, but by restoring the bridges that connect us to one another with goodness.
Rabbi Lipskier shared that in the aftermath of the 1991 Crown Heights Riots in New York, the Rebbe was visited by the then New York City Mayor David Dinkins. The Rebbe told him, "We are one side. We are one people, living in one city, under one administration and under one God."
Rabbi Lipskier explained, "The world is seeking justice and we have the answer. The Hebrew word for Justice is Tzedakah, which also means charity. The greatest expression of justice is helping one another because we recognize that all God has given us is meant to be shared with those around us."
"The way to achieve justice is not by smashing windows, looting stores or burning cars. Justice is attained by doing something good and sharing it with a friend."
Rabbi Lispkier announced today that Chabad of Sherman Oaks is launching Share4Justice campaign in response to the misleading social media reports. Share4Justice encourages all to do a mitzvah. Perform a good deed that's meaningful to you like making a donation to charity or light Shabbat candles or wear tefillin, or even join an educational class and share it with a friend, encouraging them to do the same.
"If this happened in front of our building, it's for a reason; it's a sign that we need to spread this message of positivity," Rabbi Lipskier points out. "While some saw rocks to be used for destruction, we see stones that can be used to build."
