Family Suing Two Bars For Temple Grad’s Death

Posted on by

Family members of a deceased insurance executive and Temple graduate filed a civil lawsuit last Thursday against his assailants and two bars that were allegedly serving drinks to them before the incident, according to an article in The Philadelphia Daily News.

According to the article, the suit accused two Center City bars, G Lounge in Rittenhouse Square and Lucy’s Hat Shop in Old City, of violating state law by serving the assailants Kenneth Enriquez-Santiago, Steven Ferguson and Felix Carrillo drinks after they were already showing visible signs of being drunk on the night of Jan. 11, 2012.

Later on in the early hours of Jan. 12, the three assailants were getting out of a vehicle when they proceeded to attack Kevin Kless, 23, who was trying to catch a cab with his girlfriend, leaving him unconscious and dying on the ground at the 400 block of Chestnut Street.

All three men pled guilty for the beating. Ferguson received a five to 10 year sentence for third-degree murder, while Santiago will only serve two to five years due to his plea arrangement for a lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter.

Carrillo also pled guilty of involuntary manslaughter, and is serving a two to five year sentence.

At time of press, there are no new details of the lawsuit pending for the three assailants and the establishments that were involved in the incident.

Neon Vibe 5K

Posted on by

Neon Vibe 5K at Campbell’s Field and Riverwalk in Camden N.J. will be happening on Aug. 31.

Neon Vibe 5K is an “after-dark, fluorescent glow light fun run” open to all ages. Pets are excluded. In a similar fashion to the popular ’color runs,’ participants will be doused with paint at checkpoints throughout the race. The difference is, these ‘glow zones’ are equipped with UV lights and dance music to invoke a party vibe and energize runners as they pass through. Once they have crossed the finish line, runners are invited to stay and celebrate at the “Aftervibe” post-race dance party.

A portion of the proceeds benefit the Children’s Miracle Network affiliate in each of the race’s locations nationwide. Funds from the Philadelphia-area race will be donated to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Race registration is currently open and costs $45 in advance or $50 on the day of the race, and includes a Neon Vibe t-shirt, glow paint powder and a runner’s bib. More information can be found on the official website at theneonvibe.com or on Facebook at facebook.com/TheNeonVibe/. 

WWE SummerSlam Results

Posted on by

Despite the controversial conclusion to the 26th annual SummerSlam, held on Aug. 18, Daniel Bryan dethroned John Cena for the WWE Championship.

Although fans were expecting one of his signature moves such as the ‘Yes Lock’ or ‘Small Package,” the technician affectionately known as “Goatface” launched a flying ‘Shining Wizard’ to knock out Cena before special guest referee Triple H counted the pin.

As the pyrotechnics exploded and confetti sprinkled throughout Los Angeles’ Staples Center, Randy Orton crashed the party, threatening to cash in his “Money in the Bank” contract, guaranteeing him a shot at the title whenever he chooses.

Daring “the Viper” to strike, Bryan was stabbed in the back by Triple H who Pedigreed the new champion and invited Orton to make the cover for the victory.

In the grudge match of the summer, Brock Lesnar successfully defended the honor of his agent Paul Heyman by pulverizing Heyman’s former friend CM Punk.

Since it was a no disqualification bout, Lesnar smashed Punk with a steel chair, Punk escaped the onslaught with a low blow and Heyman interfered to prevent his associate from tapping out to the Anaconda Vice.

Unfortunately for the evil genius, Punk locked Heyman in the submission before the “Beast Incarnate” hit an F-5 on a chair for the win.

Also on the card, Bray Wyatt and his followers destroyed Kane in a Ring of Fire Match.

Cody Rhodes defeated his former partner Damian Sandow.

Christian gave up to World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio’s armbar.

Natalya forced Brie Bella to submit to the Sharpshooter.

Dolph Ziggler and Kaitlyn beat Big E. Langston and A.J. Lee.

In the pre-show, U.S. Champion Dean Ambrose retained the title after being disqualified due to The Shield attacking Rob Van Dam.

MCPB confirms Aziz Ansari as this year’s Welcome Week performer

Posted on by

This year’s Welcome Week performer will be Aziz Ansari, according to a tweet by the Main Campus Program Board.

MCPB has been providing hints as to who the performer would be since 1 p.m. on Aug. 10.

According to the organization’s Twitter account, such clues include that the performer is from Columbia, S.C., he or she is “friends with Kanye West,” “it has been a while since this performer has been in a serious relationship,” “the performer’s favorite place to eat is the Shake Shack” and their favorite show is Breaking Bad”.

The final clue was announced today at 1 p.m. stating that he or she “has an alter ego named Randy.”

Ansari appeared on “Late Show with David Letterman” in 2009 and discussed a night out with West that formed a relationship. The comedian has also starred as a character named Randy in a “Funny People,” the 2009 Judd Apatow comedy. He has since referred to the character in stand-up specials.

Ansari was also quoted as saying he missed “eating burgers from Shake Shack” after moving from New York to Los Angeles, Calif., in 2009 in an article by New York Magazine.

Ansari’s IMBD profile also confirms he was born in Columbia, S.C..

The comedian is not scheduled to perform in Philadelphia or the East Coast in late August.

Temple students’ responses on Twitter to the hints were mixed – some excited that Temple may not feature yet another rapper, others remarked they were “disappointed.”

Last year’s performer was popular rapper Wiz Khalifa.

Ansari will perform on Aug. 24 at the Liacouras Center. The show will start at 9 p.m. and doors will open at 7:30 p.m., according to the MCPB’s Twitter account.

Tickets will be available at the Liacouras Center box office 5 p.m. Aug. 24. One general admission ticket per student is available.

Bergman named special assistant to the president

Posted on by

Vice President Bill Bergman, a former deputy Philadelphia Police commissioner who has been at Temple since 1996, was appointed special assistant to the president by President Neil Theobald earlier this month.

“Bill’s many years of service at Temple will make him an invaluable resource as we move Temple forward,” Theobald said in a statement. “I’m pleased he has agreed to return to the Executive Office of President in this role.”

Bergman came to Temple after 27 years with the Philadelphia Police Department to oversee the university’s public safety operation, according to University Communications. He rose through the ranks and eventually became former President Ann Weaver Hart’s chief of staff for two years.

“Temple has been an important part of my life,” said Bergman in a statement through University Communications. “I look forward to working with President Theobald to make sure that the university continues to be a vital part of this city and the commonwealth.”
