Payne County prosecutors say Cynthia Shirleen Low, 46, used a university-issued credit card to buy sex toys and other personal items.

Witnesses listed in court documents included Frank Blum, of OSU’s chemistry department, and Brenna Dixon, a forensic accountant in the university controller’s office.

Low, who faces up to 10 years in state prison and a hefty fine if convicted, remains free on $25,000 bail. She’s due back in court Dec. 30 for an arraignment.

Low is accused of buying items “that would not be used by the OSU chemistry department,” such as sex toys, clothes, electronics, jewelry and other personal items, between July 2008 and February 2010, records show.

The Yale woman resigned from her job in OSU’s chemistry department in February 2010.

Documents show that a fellow OSU employee approached university police one month later, saying she believed Low had used her school-issued credit card to make personal purchases.

The informant showed several invoices to police, which allegedly showed that Low had doctored receipts to make improper purchases look legitimate.

Abilene middle school and high school orchestra students have spent the first half of the school year gearing up for Monday.

That’s when they’ll meet Grammy Award-winning violinist Mark O’Connor, a performer as celebrated for his music education work as he is for his genre-bending compositions.

Throughout the day, nearly 600 Abilene Independent School District students will bus to and from the Abilene Civic Center, where O’Connor will teach a series of workshops based on his “O’Connor Method” educational books.

At 7 p.m., the students and O’Connor will perform a free public concert at the Civic Center.

Darcy Radcliffe, the teacher who will conduct the high school delegation of string players, says her students have taken their playing to a new level in anticipation of collaborating with O’Connor.

For the third time in less than 10 years, a distracted motorist in downtown Covington has taken out a section of St. Scholastica Academy’s ornate, iron fence. Authorities say Ryan Julian Reyes, 20, was driving a Ford F-150 pickup truck east on East Boston Street at 8:46 p.m. Saturday when his three passengers distracted him as he approached the dog-leg curve just past North Theard Street in front of the girls’ high school.

Ted Jackson, The Times-PicayuneSt. Scholastica Academy officials expressed dismay that they are faced with having to repair the fence for the third time since it was installed in 2003.

Reyes missed the turn left; ran off the road; climbed the curb; and barreled into the fence, “causing major damage to (it) and the vehicle,” the accident report indicates. Police accused him of careless operation of a motor vehicle.

An Acadian Ambulance crew responded to the wreck, but Reyes and his passengers refused aid, saying their parents would get them examined by a doctor, according to Covington police.

Court records show the crash happened as Reyes, of the 100 block of St.

This is an old favourite. re-presented here to lay the ground for the great return to the phys ed education debate…

Several years ago, a major organ of our professional society raised a troubling issue: namely whether the three major subfields were being taught in the proper order at the high school level .
A furor arose in the letter pages, debating the merits endlessly. Which first, which last? (also here).

Now, I think we can all agree on the basics – there are not enough resources to teach all subfields each year of high school, and I am told scheduling is also impossible if people are taking subjects for more than two years (one year intro, one advanced for college hopefuls). So, decisions have to be made.

I have thought about this, and I think that having general phys ed as grounding in the first year is essential; then basketball, because it requires the least amount of equipment to set up; then baseball; and leave football to the final year.
