Students Travel Back in European History for Class
History came alive Friday for students of Trinity Classical Academy, a Christian school located in Saugus. As part of their curriculum, the 23 students of Peter Dashnaw's fourth-grade class prepared and showcased their knowledge of the medieval, Renaissance and Reformation eras of European history during a daylong fair put on for the student body, parents and staff at the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Newhall. "The idea of this fair is to make history come alive," said Liz Caddow, head of school for Trinity Classical Academy. "History is a large part of classical education, and with this the students gain a real sense of this time period." The fourth-graders began preparing for the fair in January, when they were assigned archetypal characters and researched their roles.
Juventus rival Lyon for Barcelona's Giuly
The France international has failed to become a regular under coach Frank Rijkaard and is expected to be made available in the summer as Barca seek to rejuvenate their squad.

Elena Isinbaeva is first Russian to win sports “Oscar”
The Laureus World Sports Awards ceremony took place in Barcelona late Monday evening. Russian pole vaulter Elena Isinbaeva became the first Russian woman to win the award. The award is the world's leading sports award. Winners are chosen by journalists (more than 400 vote) and members of the Laureus World Sports Academy – 42 of the world's most famous athletes, including Boris Becker, Sergey Bubka, Bobby Charlton, Nadia Comaneci, Tony Hawk, Michael Jordan, John McEnroe, Jack Nicklaus, Pele, Monica Seles, Mark Spitz and Katarina Witt. Although there were no events in 2006 at which Isinbaeva could distinguish herself, she is a 20-time record holder. She has stated that she plans to break a total of 40 records. Her greatest achievement, and the one she was probably awarded for on Monday, is advancing women's pole vaulting from a secondary event to a major sport.
