At least two Temple City's top administrators have been asked to leave over the past two weeks and their severance packages will cost the municipality at least $114,600. Speculation is rife that "more heads will roll." One resident, who prefers to remain anonymous told Temple City Tribune " this is just the tip of the iceberg…the financial side of Temple City is a serious mess."
The City Council unanimously fired City Manager Jose Pulido on Jan. 13, ironically a few days after he received a whopping performance bonus. Four days earlier, Pulido terminated Mark Persico, who oversees construction projects within Temple City's boundaries.
Temple City is in the middle of a $21 million construction project on Rosemead Boulevard, and the city council has budgeted nearly $17 million to revitalize Las Tunas Drive. Pulido terminated Persico, the community development director, on Jan. 9. Persico immediately went on 30 days of paid administrative leave, which will cost the city about $11,100.
Persico started working at Temple City in February 2013 and earned a salary of $133,800. His official last day will be Feb. 10, according to city officials.

For the first time since 1999, Marian is playing for a football regional championship.
Senior standout Michael Whitfield is a major reason why. After all, he holds just about every Marian scoring record; but he doesn't care about that.
"it feels good but unless we get down to Lucas Oil (state finals), none of those records mean anything," Whitfield explains.
It's that humble, selfless attitude that makes Number Five so loved. Heck, one Marian student even had a sign saying, "Marry me Michael Whitfield."
"He doesn't make it about him," says Marian coach Reggie Glon. "He makes sure he gives credit to the other guys in the program. He doesn't put himself up on a pedestal and the student body and the rest of the team appreciate that."
"He's outstanding," explains Marian junior and longtime friend Dominic Ravotto. "It's great to see him in the record books at Marian. Hope he continues our success and leads us down to state."
Make no mistake--Whitfield can play. And in this post-season run, you can see the determination, especially in his eyes. He has no intentions of being stopped. He doesn't want this run with this group at this school to end.
"I've been coming to Marian games since I was little," Whitfield says. "Freshman year when we all got together, our seniors right now--we all wanted one goal when we were seniors and right now we're going through that. So it feels great."
After high school, Whitfield's goal is to play at the Division One level. Surprisingly he doesn't have an offer yet but he knows each week is an opportunity.
"If he keeps having the type of games he had Friday night, he'll be playing at somewhere on the highest level," Glon states.
"it motivates you a little bit when you want to prove to people you can play at the next level but it comes down to just winning games right now," Whitfield says.
The next game to win--versus Heritage Friday night at 7:30 at Otolski Field.

With temperatures in the northeast nearing record heights, it's no wonder we saw more iced coffees clutched in Manhattanite hands yesterday than in the last few months. And for good reason. It's refreshing, delicious, and makes you feel good despite the fact that you're probably mainly drinking coffee in the first place so you can stay awake at work.
There's just one problem, from city business types courting one of the 250 or so Starbucks in New York City, to suburban teens hanging at the local Tim Hortons after school, and everyone in between, the way many of us consume our iced coffee is expensive. In 2010, Americans ordered 500 million iced coffee drinks from restaurants and cafes, a number far too high when you consider it's easy to make your own (better) coffee at home. Now is the time to take your ice-cold cup of caffeine, milk, and sugar with you to work in the morning. There's no right way to do it, of course: "Every time I think I know every method that's out there, I learn about a new one," says coffee scholar Daniel Humphries, who helped us navigate these caffeinated waters:
Hot Brew
Pros: Coffee is made up of over 1,000 different compounds (five times the number in wine) and you'll taste them all when it's hot. "Certain compounds simply won't form unless the water's hot enough," Humphries says. And you won't have to wait for it overnight, if you use something like this method.
Cons: It's very volatile once brewed, and the flavor will quickly deteriorate as it cools. Can result in very watery coffee if you don't do it right, and you need to drink it fast to get the flavor you want.
Cold Brew
Pros: Strong, thick, richly brewed coffee, which is more stable in its concentrated form than if you used hot water, and thus will keep for a couple of weeks. This makes it easier to gulp, too. Simple to make: Just put the coffee in a French press overnight and strain in the morning, or use a moderately priced Toddy, Humphries's preferred method.
Cons: Can take up to twelve hours to make. The coffee will lose its aromatic complexity and natural acidity (although those aren't typically the reasons people drink iced coffee to begin with, so make of that what you will).
Slow-Drip Methods (Japanese and other column-brewing methods)
Pros: You can control exactly how much water goes into the drip, how slowly it decants, and thusly, how concentrated you'd like your coffee to be. "Some of the best iced coffee I've ever had," Humphries says. "They gave me like three ounces of it, super-concentrated, and it was like a liqueur, like Amaro or Fernet, except it was coffee... Amazing flavor you can't get in other ways."
Cons: The good ones can run you $300 or more, if you're that serious about your iced coffee.
Mail-Order Bottled Iced Coffee
Pros: The coffee will be pretty stable its concentrated form, and can last a couple weeks. But be sure to get it from serious boutique shops, like Connecticut's Cold Roman, whose reputations rely on their making it great.
Cons: Will eventually lose its flavor, so don't keep it too long. And many of the big chains, like those Starbucks Frappucinos, just don't taste as good (in our opinion). Also, you're not brewing your own coffee.

Gregg and Eileen Balbera are longtime Roslyn residents that had achieved a life most would be proud of – they raised three boys, with Gregg building a successful 25-year-plus career on Wall Street. But for all of the professional success gained and guidance doled out to their children, there was one element of their lives that they had no control over.
Several of their older family members began to face the challenges associated with Alzheimer's disease, and suddenly the Balberas were thrust into the role of caregivers. This experience gave them firsthand knowledge of the challenges many families face.
In an effort to help others, Gregg and Eileen decided to bring an international home health care organization closer to home by becoming franchisees of Right at Home, an in-home companionship and personal care assistance for seniors and disabled adults who want to continue to live independently.
They opened an office in Plainview, at 8 Gerhard Rd., and serve communities across Long Island.
"We decided we wanted to transition into the next phase of our work careers, but we wanted to do something we felt was more meaningful," said Gregg Balbera, who started Right at Home in Plainview earlier this year. "It is very personal for my wife and me, as we've had several family members suffer from dementia and Alzheimer's. We've seen what families go through and the issues that go along with these diseases and we wanted to step up and make a difference."
Miles away from his life on Wall Street, Balbera now hires caregivers and matches them with people who need day-to-day assistance caring for loved ones.
"Wall Street is a very dog-eat-dog world. You are constantly pushing yourself from the second you walk in to the second you leave; all day, every day," he said. "I enjoyed it immensely and I built some great relationships in that business, but the business itself can be cold and impersonal. But the business of home care is the polar opposite."
Balbera said he still pushes himself and puts all of his efforts into his work, but now he feels rewarded on a daily basis.
Right at Home provides focused, tailored services to its clients; learning about the specific needs of each family and using that knowledge to deliver specific home health care. Whether it is just a few hours a day or 24-hour, seven days a week, Right at Home prides itself on being there, no matter the challenge.
Eric Little, senior vice president of development for Right at Home, said the Balberas were awarded a franchise because they met the company's strict guidelines – they were not simply looking for a business to supplement their income, instead they had a vested interest in the company's ideals.
"Our mission is to improve the quality of life for those we serve. It is why we exist," said Little. "Eileen and Gregg are very family oriented people with personal experience caring for their own family members. They care. And it is very clear that they want to help people."
Little said Right at Home's main clients include people that are part of what is known as the 'sandwich generation' – these are people caught in the middle, with teenagers at home that need care, and also parents who are beginning to need care of their own. He said the organization strives to provide respite care, a relief for the primary caregiver in the family so that they can live their own life and not fall into depression – an all too common occurrence among family caregivers.
"For these caregivers, the big challenge is that they don't know who to ask for help or sometimes they just won't ask for help," said Little. "They can get burned out and we try to be a relief for them. Even if it's just for three or four hours a day."
Little and Balbera both said health care is becoming more and more of a pressing issue as the population continues to age. Balbera said he is constantly having conversations with friends who are starting to think about what might happen if their parents need home care – and what might happen if they themselves need help, too.
"The loss of independence and coming to grips with that is often the most difficult part of the equation. They feel that if they ask for help they are letting themselves down and letting others down," said Balbera. "Once they get passed that misconception, they realize this is a good thing for them and their family."

Michael Bay Foiled by Science!
A Ph.D. student from Australia has won an international prize for her plan to prevent an asteroid from colliding with the Earth, reports the Register. Mary D'Souza from University of Queensland's School of Engineering has proposed covering Apophis — a minor planet that's expected to pass close to Earth in 2029 — in a Mylar sheet, using solar radiation to push it off its path. So why are you reading about this on Vulture, a blog authored by two doofuses who haven't thought about science since high school? Because, as /Film hilariously points out, the exact same asteroid-moving technique was proposed in Michael Bay's 1998 actioner Armageddon but ultimately rejected as less practical than rocketing Ben Affleck into space with a nuclear warhead.
In the movie, scientists tell Billy Bob Thornton (who played the head of NASA), "We want to land a craft, deploy solar sails. You'll have a great big canopy. Solar winds will be caught by these Mylar sails!" To which Thornton replies: "Come, on guys! We've gotta come up with something realistic here!" D'Souza's paper (titled "A Body Solar Sail Concept for the Deflection of 99942 Apophis"), though, apparently claims that such a thing is completely realistic and apparently our best-possible hope for preventing a real-life Armageddon. With this out of the way, the scientific community can now focus its attention on proving that Transformers' Shia LaBeouf makes a crappy action hero.

Manolo, you spoil us!
In my dreams, shoes like this cost £10 a pair, are always available in my size, and can be worn all day without blisters, soreness or swolen feet. In reality, shoes like this cost $630 (well, they are Manolo's), are always sold out in my size, and need some serious breaking in before you attempt to wear them for more than a couple of hours. Sadly, not everyone in the world is as blessed as Carrie Bradshaw.

WASHINGTON - Don't giggle, don't squirm and don't hide behind your hair.
The tips sound like advice a mother would give her daughter before she stands up to speak in front of her high school class. However, these tips were not aimed at school girls, but female lawyers at an international law firm.
"These people, they went to law school, they've passed the bar exam, they're working for this big-time firm," says Staci Zaretsky, assistant editor at the legal website Abovethelaw.com. "Now they have to be told to cross their legs if they're wearing a skirt."
Zaretsky is talking about a memo entitled "Presentation Tips for Women," which was handed out to the female associates at the offices of global law firm Clifford Chance. The memo was then leaked to Abovethelaw.com by an anonymous associate of the firm earlier this month.
The women's committee at Clifford Chance, which also has offices in D.C., provided the advice on public presentation to the firm's female lawyers.
"It was incredibly sexist, which is a shame because there are some great tips in the memo," says Zaretsky. "But when you're sending this to only women at this specific firm, it comes off as almost demeaning and offensive."
The memo counsels women to stand up straight, lose the "ums" and "like" and "you know" phrases and avoid waving their arms. When addressing work attire, the memo says those women who wear skirts should make sure the audience can't see up them and with shirts, women should eschew cleavage.
"No one heard Hillary [Clinton] the day she showed cleavage," the memo says.
Zaretsky wonders, "Where is the memo for the men?"
Clifford Chance offered WTOP this statement:
"The original presentation and associated tips represented a personal perspective, shared with a group of colleagues, some just starting out in their careers. The more than 150 points are based on what this individual has found helpful as a public speaker in a broad range of business environments.
While much of what is covered is common sense, we believe that it is important that women as well as men are given access to a range of different viewpoints and approaches; there is no Clifford Chance template on how people should present. The offense caused by a small percentage of the suggestions in the tip sheet was entirely unintentional."

Why Do We Get Sick in Winter?
With the approach of autumn, we welcome that slight chill in the air after the relentless heat of the summer. We look forward to the brilliant colors of the changing leaves, the final harvest of the fruit trees and digging out our favorite sweater. Cooler temperatures and shortening days also signal the start of flu season and the time to prepare is now.
Exposure usually occurs in one of two ways: either through hand to mouth inoculation or by droplets inhaled through our nasal passages. While we don't have much control over the air we breathe, we can control, to a large extent, what we touch. Think about your average work day. What things do you touch on a daily basis? A more important question is what do you touch that is shared by others? How about steering wheels for drivers that share vehicles and power tools used by construction workers. In an office environment, there is the keyboard, the telephone, the water cooler, the microwave, filing cabinet handles and the list goes on and on. Yet we touch these items all year round. Why then do we tend to get sick in the winter?
A relatively new theory is that with the decreased amount of daylight we produce less vitamin D. It is well known that vitamin D in important in building strong bones, but new research is revealing that this vitamin is instrumental in maintaining a healthy immune system as well. Whereas our flu season is November to March, those living in the Southern Hemisphere get the flu from June through September which is their winter months. This is an interesting piece of anecdotal evidence.
In a 2006 study published by a UCLA research team, vitamin D was able to kill bacteria responsible for tuberculosis. The researchers postulated that human differences in the ability to produce vitamin D may make certain individuals vulnerable to microbial infections. According to Dr. Julian Whitaker, a well-respected physician, increasing vitamin D intake during the winter months is a safe, if not proven, approach to protecting us against influenza. His recommendation is 800 to 1000 IU vitamin D for those living South of the parallel that runs through Philadelphia, Denver and Reno and up to 2000 IU for northerners. A recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition(September, 2007) concluded,"The widespread use of vitamin D supplements (1000 IU per day) has been advised as a simple way to improve many aspects of public health."
There are two forms of vitamin D: D2 (ergocalciferol), which does not appear naturally in humans, and D3 (cholecalciferol), the form made in the body. If you choose to supplement, make sure you get the D3 form.
For those of us who cannot jet off to the tropics during the winter months, vitamin D just may give us the edge at escaping the dreaded influenza.

London Fashion Week: Matthew Williamson Autumn 2011 (video)
I love seeing a bit of rock 'n' roll thrown into Matthew Williamson's repertoire. And that's exactly what the Brit designer delivered in his A/W '11 collection. His inspiration for this season actually lay in the 3D works of Russian artist Francisco Infante who uses mirrors in forests.
Heavy Mongolian ombre fur vests were mixed in with bright minidresses, striped leather jackets, sequined frocks and long chiffon printed dresses. The variations of fabrics and textures did get a little much at times, but its the workmanship that goes into each piece which is the truly remarkable thing.

Well, those discussions didn't always go so great as they devolved into rants and sometimes insults.
I want this thread to be a genuine, positive discussion between any CharOp posters on which race is the best race for the tactical warlord; or perhaps a short list of the most viable races. I foresee similar threads like this in the future regarding other classes and builds.
What I want to discuss here is overall optimization-- the strengths and weaknesses of the best races for the warlord. I realize that some races will be optimized in different ways and they aren't all directly comparable; I definitely expect several races to compete for the top-of-the-pyramid spot.
It is my contention that the human is a viable contender for the best tactical warlord.
My reasoning is thus: the tactical warlord's role is first and foremost that of a tactician. The human is the only race (thus far) that grants the character a bonus at-will from his/her class's power list. This, by itself, is a great tactical advantage. For some classes this is less of a boon than it is for others; also, other classes have different roles, so while having a tactical option is great, it isn't necessarily optimal. But I argue that for the tactical warlord it is optimal, because the tac-lord's very job is to have the right tactics at just the right time. The best racial choice for this is the human thanks to the bonus at-will.
Further, humans get a bonus feat, which for the tac-lord should almost assuredly be Action Surge. While by itself this may not be quite as good as, say, Elven Accuracy, the human still has the benefit of that bonus at-will! These two combined traits of the human I feel more than make up for the lack of a +2 to a secondary stat that other races get.
I will admit though that an Earthsoul Genasi also competes for the #1 spot for the best tac-lord, and is currently the only race I consider "near equal" to the human (for best tac-lord, that is).
So, CO posters, what are your thoughts? Are humans viable, or no? What do you think is the #1 best race to choose for playing a tactical warlord?

Photos of iPhone 5C manual reference card leak
One day closer to the announcement of the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C means one more leaked image of one of Apple's new devices. This time around, we aren't seeing the device itself exactly, but rather the packaging for the iPhone 5C. This time around, we're getting a couple photos of the iPhone 5C manual reference card insert that you'll find in the box.
Unfortunately, the images are a bit too small and blurry to be able to read anything on the cards, but it clearly labels the device as the iPhone 5C, and shows the front face of the device, which (not surprisingly) looks just like an iPhone 5. In addition to the reference cards, the leak also shows the card for the SIM tray key.
That's about all for this round. We're just over one week away from what is expected to be the official announcement on September 10th.

Paris Historic Scene Christmas Ornaments
Personalized Christmas Ornament
Ooh la la! This beautiful ornament has the ornate details that celebrate the city of Paris, France. In the front and center is the unique Eiffel Tower decorated with a wreath. On the left is the exquisite Notre Dame Cathedral and on the right is the majestic Arc de Triomphe, with a rope of garland draped across the top. A red and white umbrella covers a table that is flanked by two chairs, a symbol of the fancy French cafes that line the streets of Paris. The bottom blue and red stripes represent the country flag and the word PARIS is covered in white glitter. Makes a great souvenir for a trip to this romantic and old European capital city.

How to talk to your kids
Dr. Kathleen Hall, founder and CEO of the Mindful Living Network and Stress Institute
Omama Altaleb, Special to WTOP.com
WASHINGTON -- How could this happen? Why did this happen?
You will probably experience many of these emotions when tragedy strikes:
Shock, Fear, Anger, sorrow, grief and disillusionment.
Most of us feel that the world is a more dangerous place today than you did yesterday. It will take some time to recover your sense of safety, confidence and balance.
We all have to live in this world together and the best thing we can all do is develop our resilience, strength and confidence.
Here are some tips to help you along the way:
Listen and talk with your co-workers, family and children
- Listen to your family, children and co-workers worries and fears. Make sure you make eye contact, sit down if possible, get close and move to a quiet place if possible. Again make them feel safe and reassured. The most important thing is to listen.
- Create times to talk with your family after dinner, take walks, have a snack, stop on your way home from school for an ice cream and listen to them about what is happening at school so they can process it right after school, and not have powerful feelings and fears linger. You start the conversation and listen.
- Co-workers: Take time to listen and talk. Be honest and vulnerable. Go to lunch together, have coffee with each other.
Home is the family cocoon and sanctuary
- Your home is the critical place to feel safe in this time of disorientation, fear and instability.
- Family rituals are important: Times when the family is glued together, sharing, looking into each other's eyes and being in each other's presence creates an environment of safety from the world.
- Meals, game night, walks, getting in nature, snacks, cooking and baking or doing things together. Spending time with your animals give children love, stability and assurance.
Look for symptoms of stress. If any of these red flags come up, call your family doctor or other health care professional, clergy or school counselors.
- Eating patterns
- Sleep disturbances, INSOMNIA
- Headaches
- GI problems: upset stomach, cramps, gas, diarrhea, constipation
- Biting fingernails
- Wetting the bed
- Asthma or shortness of breath
- Weight gain or loss
- Anger, tantrums
- Depression or moodiness
- Overreactions - your child continues to re-experience the traumatic event: could be in their play, dolls or when playing with other children
- Nightmares
- Anxiety or nervousness
- Irritability
- Phobias - not wanting to go back to school, get on a bus, go to a party or leave the house
- Memory problems
- Butterflies
- Lack of concentration, can't think clearly
- Withdrawal socially from family, friends - co-workers, school activities, bus
- Play - not wanting to play or go outside
- Anger and tantrums
- Quiet and non-responsiveness
- Increase in arguments
- Overreactions
Control your exposure to news
- Research shows repeated viewing of shootings or mass deaths can create what is called, "remote PTSD."
- Watch TV together as a family. Older children tell them to not watch it for at least a week on computers, phones and devices.
- Tell your family that it is unhealthy, mentally and physically to watch this horrible event over and over and over.
Root yourself into your community
- Everyone needs emotional support; parents, children and the community. Go to neighborhood meetings, school meetings, gatherings. Show your children that it is healing to be with other people.
- "Isolation can make you sick or not heal, where community helps everyone heal together."
At work
- Talk to your supervisors about creating a group to support each other through this terrible time of tragedy.
- Counselor - Make sure your company had a counselor on staff to support and guide you through your journey through stress, anger, fear and maybe depression.
- Groups at work> Ask if you can create groups around different interests such as: cooking, gardening, investing, spirituality etc. These groups help people bond in small groups and feel more safe and connected.

Men plead guilty in suburban restaurant attack, sentenced to at least 3 years
BY STEVE METSCH Sun-Times Media firstname.lastname@example.com January 4, 2013 4:32PM
Cody Sutherlin
Article Extras
Updated: February 6, 2013 6:11AM
Five Indiana men accused of attacking an alleged white supremacist group at a Tinley Park restaurant in May pleaded guilty to armed violence and were sentenced Friday.
The men, already jailed more than seven months, wanted to put the case behind them rather than go through a trial, one of their attorneys said.
Alex Stuck, 23, John Tucker, 26, and brothers Jason Sutherlin, 33, Cody Sutherlin, 24, and Dylan Sutherlin, 20, all faced 37 counts, including armed violence, mob action and aggravated battery, for the May 19 attack at The Ashford House Restaurant, 7959 W. 159th St. Each pleaded guilty to three counts of armed violence and the other charges were dropped, according to prosecutors.
The men were given sentences ranging from 31/2 to six years.
A ruling was expected Friday on whether evidence obtained during a traffic stop after the incident could be presented at trial. Instead, after the men's attorneys gathered with Judge Carmen Aguilar at the Cook County courthouse in Bridgeview, attorney James Fennerty, who represents Cody Sutherlin, said the men decided to accept a plea deal.
"They want to resolve it today. They don't want this to go on any more," Fennerty said.
Jason Sutherlin was sentenced to six years, Cody and Dylan Sutherlin to five years each and Tucker and Stuck to 31/2 years each. They will be eligible for early release after half their time is served, and the 233 days for which they already have been imprisoned will count toward their time.
Fennerty called the sentences "pretty severe" but said the men remain committed to their cause.
"They'll still be anti-racist and be against Nazis in any form, against people who don't respect people because of their color or the way they look," Fennerty said.
The men were stoic as their sentences were announced. About 30 supporters were in the courtroom, and one man among that group wept.
Prosecutors planned to push for the maximum seven-year sentence for all five men if they went to trial, according to one attorney.
The men's attorneys had filed a motion to suppress evidence — baseball bats and batons — recovered during the traffic stop. Because of the plea deal, that motion was not addressed Friday. Prosecutors have said three of the men also left DNA evidence at the scene.
All five attorneys were confident they could have won a trial, said Brian Barrido, Dylan Sutherlin's lawyer. The five defendants were reluctant to wait six to 12 months for a trial to start, Barrido said.
"Hey, I'm willing to go to court," Fennerty said. "The clients make the decision. I don't make the decision. I could go to court and have fun, but if we lose, I don't go to jail. They could face more time (if found guilty in a trial). If we went to a trial, the plea offer would be off the table."
Police have called the five "anti-racists," saying they wielded bats and wore masks when they targeted the alleged white supremacist group, the Illinois European Heritage Association.
Sara Garber, Stuck's attorney, said the men have been active fighting racism.
"Obviously, violence is not an answer, but white supremacists are extremely hateful, violent people. Here we are, the state is prosecuting these five kids. Why aren't they looking after the white supremacists?" Garber said.
She thought the sentences were harsher because some innocent bystanders were injured.

Men's Basketball Wins Season Opener
Tuesday, November 15, 2011
Arlington, Va. – Marymount University's men's basketball team tipped off the season in proper fashion with a 65-58 victory over visiting Ursinus on Tuesday night. The Saints opening day win is the first under the tenure of third-year head coach Chris Rogers.
Freshman Jesse Konadu led the Blue and White (1-0) with 20 points while sophomore Reed Scott recorded a double-double with 18 points and a game-high 13 rebounds. Konadu had an all-around stellar game, adding seven rebounds to go with five assists and four steals.
Antonio Rouse and Mac Kennedy both chipped in eight points while Aaron Walsh dished out five assists.
Marymount took the initial lead of the game on a pair of Konadu free throws and held court the entire opening half. Battling back-and-forth the entire frame, the Bears (0-1) held the Saints to just a two possession lead until Konadu hauled a court-length pass to Scott for a bucket with 4:34 to play to give MU an eight point lead at 27-19. The Saints would head into the break up 29-22.
Coming out of halftime, Marymount pushed its lead to double-figures for the first time four minutes in on a Scott jumper to make it 37-26. Ursinus would begin to chip away at the Saints lead, going on an 18-6 run over the next eight minutes to take their first lead 44-43 at the 8:42 mark.
Both teams would trade leads three more times over the next 3:26 before MU put together a 13-0 run to go back up double-digits at 60-48 with three minutes on the clock. The Bears battled back to come within four with 26 ticks remaining but the Saints held on down the stretch for the victory.
Jon Ward led UC with a game-high 21 points while Pat Vesturia added 18 on 4-of-6 three-point shooting.
The Saints return to action on Friday as they host the annual Marymount Tip-Off Tournament, facing off against DeSales at 8 p.m.

Woman charged in Macomb murder plot to be sentenced Tuesday
A woman involved in a plot to murder a 31-year-old mother and her two children will be sentenced when she appears in court Tuesday.

Also charged in the case was Demon Lamont Taylor, 38. He was sentenced to 37 years in prison on November 15th.
Faison is the 31-year-old victim's half sister.
Taylor tried to hire a would-be hit man while housed in the Macomb County jail on allegations he sexually assaulted one of Faison's daughters who would testify against him at a trial.

St. Vincent Is Funny Till It's Not
By Alan Scherstuhl
Hello, what's this? Why, could it be another cautionary tale from Hollywood about recreational drugs' being -- alert the media! -- not particularly good for people? (If only they could try the same with guns. Messrs. Heston and Silver: You awake yet?) Indeed, with Blow, director Ted Demme (Beautiful Girls, Monument Ave.) has set us up with a morality tale in which the moral is obvious from the start, and there's very little to do but sit back and enjoy the ride. Although the project is galaxies away from inventive, it's definitely a cool and crafty pastiche of Scarface mingled with GoodFellas, wrapped in the polyester playfulness of That '70s Show. Whether this description serves as a beacon or a warning is up to you.
To get into the guts of Blow, we'll visit a Chicago courtroom in 1972, where semioblivious George Jung (Johnny Depp) sits slouching with nary a care in the world as he is convicted of smuggling 660 pounds of marijuana into the country. "I crossed an imaginary line with a bunch of plants," he mumbles, genuinely curious as to what the big deal could be. Bemused yet firm, the matronly judge (Dorothy Lyman) smiles as Jung lets fly with a Dr. Seuss-style rap about his relative innocence, and then she sentences him to five years. It's just one way in which the hapless entrepreneur makes good on his promise never to end up like his parents, and, as the workings of his clunky psyche are unveiled, we'll be seeing plenty more.
The parents in question -- first introduced in a warmly nostalgic Ward-and-June prologue, then quickly blended into a richer, unhappier portrait -- are Ermine and Fred Jung (Rachel Griffiths and Ray Liotta), a couple of well-intentioned squares who inadvertently produce a major-league dealer. From his Boston-bound childhood, young George (Jesse James) observes his father sliding into bankruptcy. ("Money doesn't matter," declaims the foundering father. "It only seems like it does.") He also grows increasingly alienated from his mother, whose selfish flights from the home leave an indelible imprint on her boy (more on that later). Basically, between Dad's spiraling workaholism and Mom's cold absence, the kid grows up too fast: "I don't care about ice cream," he exclaims. "What are we going to do?"
Perhaps taking his cues from the Doors (as Demme takes some of his from Oliver Stone), George grows up and hits the beaches of Southern California for fun in the sun with his corpulent best friend, Tuna (Ethan Suplee, from Kevin Smith's universe). In the first of many helpful and illustrative montage sequences, we learn that all the bikini-clad honeys are employed as stewardesses, and George eventually selects one, Barbara Buckley (Franka Potente, nearly unrecognizable after Run Lola Run), to be his Summer of Love squeeze. But there's still no cash flow. Leaping to the rescue is Tuna, who sets the wheels of George's career in motion with the seemingly innocuous question "You remember wondering what we were going to do for money, being that we don't want to get jobs and whatnot?"
Although Blow is "based on a true story," as well as the book of the same name by Bruce Porter, one must marvel at the editing job screenwriters David McKenna and Nick Cassavetes must have done on the life of the real George Jung (whose confined terrestrial existence for the next few years seems unlikely to change). As is necessitated by the constraints of the medium -- running times and bladder capacities and so forth -- a lot of information must be compressed into tight scenes, and some of the serendipity here is downright miraculous. Almost immediately after George and Tuna hook up with a flamboyant hairdresser and pot source named, quite antithetically, Derek Foreal (Paul Reubens in shag-drag, sort of a Pee-wee Vermin), they're all off to Mexico with accomplice Kevin Dulli (Max Perlich) to transform smuggling into a fun-filled fiesta for the whole family.
Surprisingly, it takes a long, long time for the shadows to creep in on George's fantasy existence -- if indeed they ever fully reach him -- and this is where the film swerves wildly away from the hardcore significance of, say, Traffic. Although many may snort at this happy-go-lucky tone, Demme and his crew have crafted the project to feel altogether less preachy and more generous than Soderbergh's cliché-laden juggernaut, resulting in an acutely philanthropic movie. Because George is not wicked but merely -- like his country -- confused and absurdly ambitious, he's easy to relate to, winning his own lottery through hard work and hard play. Watching him cavort in the sun or fuss with crates full of money ("We're gonna need a bigger boat!"), one almost forgets that he's in any way a criminal.
Of course -- given that the real Jung is more or less a dead ringer for Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx -- a lot of this enchantment has to do with Depp's cosmetic appeal, which the movie shamelessly milks. It will be interesting to see whether there's an increased level of appreciation for drug dealers among impressionable young women after Blow makes its rounds, because the actor is portrayed here as almost every kind of golden child imaginable. Starting off as John Denver, he (with the help of hairstylist Candace Neal) wends his way through the locks and tresses of (in no particular order) Meat Loaf, Gregg Allman, David Lee Roth, Jimmy Buffet, Suzanne Somers and Farrah Fawcett-Majors, landing, quite disturbingly, on a shocking likeness of Eddie Money.

DENVER - With the first weekend of the Class 5A state baseball tournament under wraps, one thing is for certain: Chatfield won't be intimidated by anyone.
The Chargers, the No. 8 seed in the eight-team field, opened the tournament with a bang on May 9, defeating previously unbeaten, and top-seeded, Cherry Creek 2-1.
CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE- It's doubtful that either Kelley Pickens or Melissa LeMar needed any extra motivation heading into their No. 1 doubles state championship match on May 10.
DENVER- I am blown away.
It has exceeded my expectations.
DENVER - Judging by the stat line, Arapahoe's Tayler Davis didn't have much business being in the game – let alone earning the win – against Dakota Ridge.
Yet that's just what the lanky left-hander did in the teams' May 10 Class 5A state baseball elimination game at All-City Field.
AURORA - Going from 0 to 8 turned out to be plenty fast for Chatfield.
The Chargers took their first varsity season of boys lacrosse all the way to the state quarterfinals, where they were ousted by perennial contenders Regis 10-2 on the Raiders' home field on May 10.
LAKEWOOD – Score. Repeat. Advance.
That was the workmanlike performance Chatfield turned in May 7 as the third-seeded Chargers breezed through the first round of the Class 5A girls soccer state tournament with a 4-0 victory over No. 30 Central of Grand Junction.
ARVADA — Max Erickson could sense the end was near for Smoky Hill.
After getting off to a sluggish start in its first-ever playoff game, Chatfield's boys lacrosse team opened and closed the third quarter on a tear.
Editor's note: This story originally appeared in the Columbine Courier on March 21, 2007.
LAKEWOOD — Dakota Ridge's girls soccer playoff game against Smoky Hill felt like a horror movie – things got really interested just after you thought the antagonist was dead and buried.
GREENWOOD VILLAGE — This senior class from Columbine will always be remembered as one of the most-talented in school history.
Starting with a state baseball championship as sophomores to a football title and return trip to the state baseball tourney as juniors, the class achieved many things others only dream of.

RMWD Taking Steps in Right Direction
Ramona Municipal Water District (RMWD) Board is doing what publicly elected boards should be doing: assessing needs, asking relevant questions, finding solutions, providing leadership, and ultimately saving as much ratepayer/taxpayer expense as possible.
Many projects/plans are being addressed and completed, including a natural gas line for the Poway pump station, solar power for the Santa Maria Treatment Plant, reduced costs in customer service and engineering, and most recently a grant from the Barona and Sycuan Indian tribes for a new ambulance, just to mention a few.
The proposed gas line and solar power for the Santa Maria plant are great ideas, but actual costs and real savings are yet to be determined, but at least options are being looked at.
With the latest research showing that Ramona's growth has slowed and the implementation of an infiltration and inflow system to stop stormwater into the plant, the need to expand the Santa Maria plant has been put on hold. All of this has helped the board to keep the proposed 2012-13 budget under the original $20 million estimate and the water rate, although there will be a 7.8 percent increase, under the previous proposed rate hike.
That's not to say that there doesn't continue to be problems. Public board meetings are not held at a convenient time for some, and the public should not be ridiculed for expressing its viewpoints and disappointment.
Time will judge the effectiveness of what the current board has and will accomplish, and if you don't think they've done a good job, vote them out at the next election. Everyone might not agree with what the RMWD Board is doing, but they are at least moving forward.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
The teachers are generally dedicated, kind, and offer quality lessons. This school serves an upper-middle class population and students receive a lot of home support, so they should be doing extremely well and like the other reviewers said, they could probably be doing even better. As far as Arizona, goes it's great, but probably average compared to schools in other regions. Students who excel at sports are recognized more than the students who are participating in theater, music, or academic clubs. The school is located in a beautiful area with excellent resources. FYI: If you have a problem with a teacher, don't expect the principal to take action or even assist with the problem. She does not seem to have the students best interest or safety as a priority.
I have two kids here currently and one that is now at the local high school DV -- I love this middel school! Issues are communicated and dealt with appropriately and in a timely fashion. The teachers have been awesome! Middle school can be be a place of transition, change and growth which is challenging at times for all involved. This school has done a wonderful job adapting and adjusting to the economic challenges they have faced and continuing to stress the importance of a good education in a safe, supporting environment.
Altadena is in a fairly wealthy district and many of the students have the advantages of strong home support, well educated parents, and participation in expensive extracurricular activities. The school should be doing much, much better. The Principal is largely unknown to the students, which reflects her self-absorbed attitude. The teachers lack maturity, which is to say that they sometimes engage in bullying, teasing or other behaviors normally associated with pre-teen students. Our daughter had a miserable experience on the softball and basketball teams, but a WONderful experience with X-country. In fact, the X-country program is the highlight of the school. They get great participation from students, teachers and even parents. The coaches are very supportive and positive and the team always competes extremely well. There are other individual bright spots, such as the 8th grade counselor and chorus. Math instruction is a strength. But the Principal is such a disappointment. Her lack of leadership shows up in the quality of many of the teachers. Also, the volleyball team is so competitive... several girls that are outstanding players were cut this year.
As a student, I have to rate this as the worst school I've ever attended. I was labeled a lost cause once my attendance started slipping, and I quickly realized that the administration (namely the respective grade's counselors, and in particular Tiffany Jump) saw me as nothing more than a problem to be dealt with. The principal Nancy Corner never actually spared the time to speak to me, but she didn't hesitate to issue me a court citation for truancy without speaking to my parents or ever glancing at my file to understand the various medical and familial problems contributing to my absences. The administration seems to care about the school's reputation and the money each student's attendance represents, and they spare very little attention for the kids, none of which is not related to punishment or guilt-laying. I was repeatedly told to 'get over it' and I have to say that the majority of my self-esteem problems in years following stemmed from the treatment I was given there. That being said, many of the teachers I had were very kind and understanding, but lacked the authority to stand up for their students. If 90% of the office staff were replaced, this would be a great school.
Our experience has been the same as the parent who left Alta Dena for a bad teacher...we have been ignored, challenged, and treated disrespectfully by the 6th grade teacher: Ms. Demos, Ms. Fortun-the counselor, & ignored by the principal, Ms. Corner. We still have not heard directly from the teacher & she's being protected by the admin. Our son came to this school as a Gifted student from another state. Ms.Fortun made it a repeated conversation that our son was probably not as gifted as the other students at her school. Along with this absurd treatment, we just received the outline for the "puberty" education. It was explicit as anything I've seen-even California...what a way to strip children of their natural modesty and lay out a defined menu of what not to do! Craziness for young children. We will be removing our son from this school next week.
I think if your child is mainstream, Altadena is a great school. If your child has challenges this school has a difficult time dealing with those challenges. They are trying to keep their numbers high for the district and state report card. They do like to deal with students that fall below c grade average.
My son attended Altadena Middle School and the Kyrene School District for a number of years through the beginning of his 8th year. However, when we needed to address problems my son was having with one particular teacher this past year, I found that the administration took the defensive position on behalf of the teacher (who was bullying my son for lack of a better word), sweeping the problem under the rug, and refusing to help us with the problem. Because of Ms. Corner not addressing the problem, we had to transfer our son to another school. There was no way he could stay without her defending our family, but the teacher. In retrospect, it saddens me that he was unable to attend all 3 years at Altadena, because we really do feel it is a good school
Altadena is thee BEST school in the Phoenix area. 5/5 STARS. Your child (children) would enjoy the school. Very nice teachers, students, and staff members. Altadena is the highest school to score on testing. Best cirriculum your child could possibly have. My parent drives out of their way just to take me to Altadena. :) That should tell you something.
I went to this school for all of middle school, and i can honestly say that i have never been to a better school. thank you altadena for all that you do! i miss you!
I thought the curriculum to be very challenging and the teachers always willing to help. Altadena is right in the 'hollywood' of Arizona and the students base popularity on what you have. If you are looking solely for curriculum then it is fantastic. Hope this was helpful!
My daughter acheived straight A's in her 1st quarter at Altadena thanks to such great teaching
I have been a strong supporter of Altadena Middle School and the Kyrene School District for a number of years. However, when I needed to address problems my son was having with his teacher this past year, I found that the administration took the defensive position on behalf of the teacher (who was bullying my son for lack of a better word), sweeping the problem under the rug, and refusing to help us with the problem. All we wanted was to get him moved out of this one teacher's class and I was met with total opposition and defiance from both the student adviser and the principal. I found Ms. Corner to be condescending, unprofessional, and above all, lacking in the abilities necessary to run a school. I was so disappointed and disillusion by this experience that we have pulled our son from Altadena and he will be attending charter school.
Altadena does have great academics; but the students live in the hollywood of Phoenix so life there should not be compared to the real world
Altadena is a great middle school with high acadamic standards. I found the teachers to be dedicated and willing to go the extra mile for the students. There is a wide curriculum to expose the students to a wide range of activities. Since Ahwatukee is a relatively small community, parents are activily involved in the school.
Ms. Miller has a genuine interest in each of her students. She was helpful even after my child moved on to another grade level.
