[Q]: Sarah L. Myers  41   worked as a special ed teacher at North Boone High School in Poplar Grove  Illinois â just northeast of Rockford  the stateâs third-largest city. The ex-teacher was sentenced to a ten-year prison term after pleading guilty to two sex acts  Fox News reported.
The victim  who was not a special ed student  reported the sexual encounters with the teacher in April and told authorities he had been having regular sexual encounters with  Myers  since November of last year.
 Myers  was credited with 261 days of time spent  but  she  will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of  her  life  the judge ruled.  She  will not be eligible for parole until 85 percent of  her  sentence has been served.
But during the hearing  news broke that yet another student implicated the teacher in a sex act.  Myers  is now accused of a sexual encounter with a student in nearby Champaign County.  She  will also face charges in that case  officials say.

[Q]: Kawhi Leonard  suffered a sprained ankle in last year’s playoffs. (Jerome Miron/USA Today Sports)
 Kawhi Leonard  had barely started to play significant minutes again before being struck with another injury. The Spurs are hoping  though  that this one does not keep  him  off the court nearly as long as  his  previous issue.
San Antonio Coach Gregg Popovich offered some surprising news Sunday when he told reporters that  Leonard  had a partial tear in his left shoulder. The two-time NBA defensive player of the year was known to have a shoulder injury but not necessarily one of that potential severity.
“It’s too bad. He was starting to get back into form a little bit after playing a couple of games ” Popovich said of  Leonard .
Nevertheless  Popovich added that he hoped  Leonard  could return before the end of the Spurs’ three-game road trip  which began Sunday in Portland.  Leonard  was ruled out of that game  but the coach did dismiss the possibility of a return by his team’s most important player by the time San Antonio visits the Lakers on Thursday.
 Leonard  sat out the first 27 games of the season with a quadriceps injury that appeared to linger much longer than most expected. That came after  he  missed most of the Spurs’ loss to the Warriors in the 2017 Western Conference finals because of a sprained ankle.
 Leonard  has only played in eight games this season  having returned on Dec. 12 but having been held out of four of the Spurs’ past 10 games  as the team has tried to manage  his  recovery. The two-time all-star has only played more than 25 minutes in each of  his  past four games  and for the season  he  is averaging 15.9 points  4.3 rebounds  2.1 assists and 1.8 steals.
However   Popovich  has managed to guide San Antonio to a 27-13 record  good for third place in the West  heading into Sunday’s contest. Their record is all the more impressive because  in addition to Leonard  players such as Rudy Gay (heel)  Danny Green (groin)  Kyle Anderson (MCL)  Tony Parker (quadriceps) and Joffrey Lauvergne (ankle) have been missing time with their own injuries.

[Q]: MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was barred on Monday from running in next year’s presidential election after officials ruled he was ineligible to take part due to a suspended prison sentence he says was trumped up.
The decision by the central election commission was widely expected as election officials had repeatedly declared  Navalny  would be ineligible to run. Twelve members of the 13-member commission voted to bar  Navalny . One member abstained  citing a possible conflict of interest.
 Navalny   41  who polls show would struggle to beat incumbent Vladimir Putin in the March election  said he would appeal and called on his supporters to boycott the election and campaign against it being held.
“We knew this could happen  and so we have a straight-forward  clear plan ”  Navalny  said in a pre-recorded video released immediately after the decision.
 Navalny  said  he  would use  his  campaign headquarters across Russia to support the boycott and monitor turnout on voting day  March 18.
Polls show Putin  65  who has dominated Russia’s political landscape for the last 17 years  is on course to be comfortably re-elected  making  him  eligible to serve another six years until 2024  when  he  turns 72.
 Navalny  says Putin’s support is exaggerated and artificially maintained by a biased state media and an unfair system. He says he could defeat him in a fair election  an assertion Putin’s supporters have said is laughable.
‘DO  THE RIGHT THING’

Before the commission voted   Navalny   dressed in a dark suit  had demanded  he  be allowed to take part in the election delivering a speech that angered election officials.
In one heated exchange   he  said Russian voters’ faith in the system hung in the balance.
“If you do not allow me to run  you are taking a decision against millions of people who are demanding that  Navalny  take part ”  he  said  referring to  himself  in the first person.
“You are not robots  you are living  breathing human beings you are an independent body ... for once in your lives  do the right thing ”  he  said.
 His  supporters clapped  him   but officials were unmoved.
Ebzeev said there could not be “the slightest doubt” that  Navalny  was ineligible to run  a reference to Russia’s constitution that bars him running because of his suspended sentence relating to an embezzlement case.
 Navalny  has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing  and says the case is politically motivated.
