Chargers place Eli Apple on injured reservePISCATAWAY – The Princeton women’s basketball team is remaining confident that it’ll reach its goals, even though leading scorer Madison St. Rose is now on the bench with crutches. The Tigers had an inconsistent start to the new season, but those challenges deepened when St. Rose went down with a knee injury on Nov. 16 against Quinnipiac. The program announced Friday that St. Rose had torn her left ACL and will miss the rest of the season. St. Rose’s ACL tear came on a non-contact play. As she was driving into the paint, she tried to come to a stop and went down in immediate pain. Princeton coach Carla Berube told the Trentonian that St. Rose is doing “as best as she possibly can” in the wake of her injury. “It was heartbreaking news,” Berube said. “We kind of knew it when it happened and then found out (the final diagnosis) this past week. She’s just going to meet it head on, and she’s super tough and resilient and she’s already this leader on the bench that we really need, especially with all of our young players.” Berube said she expects St. Rose to be ready for the start of the 2025-26 season, since the injury happened so early in the campaign. All the Tigers have done in the time since is sweep New Jersey rivals Seton Hall and Rutgers for the third year running. On Sunday, Ashley Chea had career highs of 20 points and nine rebounds, Skye Belker scored 13 points and Fadima Tall posted her first career double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds in a 66-49 victory at Rutgers. The result pushed Princeton to 4-2. Tall said the team was “very, very emotional” when it found out about St. Rose’s fate. “But then we have her telling us like, yes, she’s out, yes, she’s a big scorer, but we all want to do this for her. We want to give her another ring for another Ivy League championship,” Tall said. “We all are banding together even more because now we know all we have is each other, and all we have is all we need. “And Maddie’s always right there with us. It’s like she’s not even gone, honestly.” Princeton’s season had gotten off to an uneven start. The Tigers entered Sunday with three wins over Big East opponents DePaul, Villanova and Seton Hall but a pair of losses to fellow mid-majors. The Tigers were outscored 20-4 in the fourth quarter of their season-opening loss at Duquesne, and they lost 74-66 at Quinnipiac after St. Rose exited in the fourth quarter. While Chea and Belker will share the bulk of the scoring load for the Tigers going forward, several individual players will likely take on new responsibility as well, primarily Tall, Olivia Hutcherson and Toby Nweke. As freshmen last year, Tall and Hutcherson combined to total 109 minutes and 49 points on the year. Nweke is in her first year at Princeton but is plenty familiar with the program as the younger sister of recent graduate Chet Nweke. Tall has been the Tigers’ starting four in every game this season and left her mark everywhere Sunday. On top of her double-double, she had four steals and helped centers Parker Hill and Tabitha Amanze bottle up Rutgers star Destiny Adams, who went 2-of-5 for four points after averaging 25.2 ppg through five games. A 6-footer from Maryland, Tall is ready to take the next step in her game to help Princeton compensate for St. Rose’s absence. “I think I definitely need to make myself more aggressive offensively and produce more a little bit, as well as making sure we have those rebounds secured over a single game because as we know, we lost a lot of rebounding last year with Ellie (Mitchell) gone,” Tall said. “So I think encouraging my teammates and myself to fill that gap in offensively and defensively the way Maddie did is going to be perfect for us.” Hutcherson has filled St. Rose’s place in the starting lineup and had a career-best eight points and nine boards against Rutgers. Notably, she grabbed four offensive rebounds and scored putbacks on all four. “She’s really hard to box out, especially coming from a guard position from the perimeter,” Berube said. “And yeah, to start the game, she was just all over the boards. And I think that set the tone on how, how we were going to attack them, you know, and not just settle for one shot. “Those are two sophomores (Hutcherson and Tall) that didn’t get a lot of playing time last year that are stepping up into really big roles.”- Powering a new era in Brazil's urban core with the Grand Opening of the Ideal Scientology Mission of Santo André - SANTO ANDRÉ, Brazil, and LOS ANGELES, Calif., Dec. 28, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Santo André, Brazil, is a dynamic city of sophistication and opportunity. Home to three-quarters of a million people, it yet maintains its welcoming attitude and signature friendliness. Although lying within Greater São Paulo’s industrial corridor, green spaces such as Parque Central, with its picturesque lakes and shady walkways, provide respite from the city’s hectic urban tempo. And Parque Chácara da Baronesa transports visitors to the 18th century with its colonial-era mansion and landscaped gardens. Downtown Santo André is a center for nightlife, entertainment, and festivals. And right in the bustling center of this dynamic urban mosaic, the new Ideal Church of Scientology Mission of Santo André welcomes one and all. Scientology Missions form the vanguard of the Scientology religion, providing the full array of basic and introductory Scientology services and Scientology auditing (spiritual counseling). And now joining the ranks of Ideal Missions, the new Scientology Mission in Santo André is designed to serve as the physical embodiment of Scientology technology in helping all to attain spiritual freedom. Community leaders, officials and guests joined Scientologists from across São Paulo and Brazil November 16 to celebrate the Grand Opening of the new Ideal Church of Scientology Mission of Santo André. Joining Mission Director Ms. Andreia dos Santos da Silviera on stage were Officer Renata Breyer Correia of the city of Jundiaí Municipal Guard and Chief Marcos Antônio Pinto de Moraes, Special Class Metropolitan Civil Guard of São Paulo. Working in internal affairs and responsible for the ethics of officers accused of misconduct, Ms. Correia experienced setbacks. “We have 50 supervisors and 460 guards. Those in leadership roles are challenged to effectively guide those under their charge,” she said. “This often leads to extra burden placed on other departments. “In trying to resolve these situations both for myself and my fellows, I discovered Dianetics. I was amazed. Here were answers to why man acted irrationally. This had the answers for how to go from being unmotivated to becoming a dynamic powerhouse. For me personally, as I have learned about and used Dianetics, I have increased my own positive influence on those around me. My goal is to improve Brazilian society through the application of the knowledge I have gained.” Ms. Correia presented the Church with a Certificate of Recognition for its work to spread moral values, promote drug-free living and address immorality and illiteracy in the Greater São Paulo area and throughout Brazil. Chief Moraes became a police officer to help people, particularly those living on the street. “People who need help and are on the margins of society are invisible to many. I find those who are destitute and help bring them back up, getting them out of the life of drugs and degradation that they are suffering from and reuniting them with their families. It was by doing this type of work that I first met the Church of Scientology. “Factually, Scientology found me ,” he said. “Brazilian Scientologists saw the work I was doing and got in touch with me to see how they could support me . That is when I first learned of the Drug-Free World program. This was a tool I could use in my work, both on the streets and with the police. I finally had a way to handle drug abuse before it begins. When people receive the Drug-Free World booklets, they see the truth about what drugs are and the effects they cause.” “I have never seen an organization so well managed as the Church of Scientology. And the entire reason for that level of organization is to increase the well-being of others. This is a church that takes action. If one person in the Church says ‘Let’s do this,’ the entire group aligns and unifies behind accomplishing that goal and changing society. I believe this Ideal Mission represents a new level of action and help for our community. Together, we are going to raise our society and help it prosper.” Chief Moraes presented the Mission with a Certificate of Recognition for reaching many thousands of youth with effective drug education to ensure their own future and that of São Paulo. Mission Director Ms. Andreia dos Santos da Silviera ended the dedication by inviting one and all to tour their new facilities. “Our Mission is here to serve the individual as the central ground from which to emanate Mr. Hubbard’s solutions for drug rehabilitation, drug prevention, and campaigns to salvage every sector of society. And we now open our doors to expand our help to the entire community.” Visitors to the Santo André Mission are welcome to tour the Public Information Display, featuring multimedia presentations of the basic beliefs and practices of Dianetics and Scientology as well as the life and legacy of L. Ron Hubbard. As an Ideal Church of Scientology Mission, Santo André is equipped with every facility needed to provide the full array of introductory Scientology services. These include the popular Life Improvement Courses through which anyone may find workable solutions to common challenges of everyday life—such as how to improve a marriage, successfully raise children, increase personal motivation, and set and achieve goals. The new Mission also offers seminars on a wide range of topics, including personal efficiency. The Hubbard Dianetics Seminar is based on Mr. Hubbard’s watershed work Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health , the bestselling book that reveals the source of one’s nightmares, unreasonable fears and irrational behavior—the reactive mind—and how to conquer it. Additionally, the Mission provides spiritual counseling, known as auditing , and the Purification Program , developed by Mr. Hubbard to free individuals from the mental and spiritual damage caused by drugs and toxins. The grand opening of the Ideal Scientology Mission of Santo André contributed to the record-breaking rollout of new Ideal Scientology Missions opened around the globe in 2024. From Quito, Ecuador, at the geographic center of the globe; to a new Ideal Scientology Mission in the thriving community of McMinnville, Oregon; back-to-back openings in Taiwan in the city of Chiayi, the gateway to the nation’s cultural heritage, and the bustling metropolis of Taichung; and finally, Japan’s thriving port city of Osaka. Many more Ideal Scientology Missions are planned across North and South America, Europe and Asia in the coming year. The Scientology religion was founded by author and philosopher L. Ron Hubbard. Mr. David Miscavige is the Scientology religion’s ecclesiastical leader . The first Church of Scientology was formed in Los Angeles in 1954, and the religion has expanded to more than 11,000 Churches, Missions and affiliated groups, with millions of members in 167 countries.
