- Justice: David de Csepel is an Altadena resident who is on a quest to reclaim his family's art collection, which was looted by the Nazis and is now scattered to museums all over the world. Jori Finkel at the LA Times looks at the story.
- Scholar: Samuel Nemati of Altadena, Calif., was recognized for outstanding academic accomplishments by being named to the LeTourneau University Dean's List for the Fall 2012 semester. Nemati achieved a grade point average between 3.50 and 3.99 for the semester.
- Political news: From our friend John Crawford at the Sierre Madre Tattler: does Pasadena City Council candidate Ishmael Trone actually live in Altadena? Trone is in line to take Chris Holden's seat now that Holden is in the assembly, and political operative/private eye Jan B. Tucker has been rooting through Trone's Altadena trash. Something's brewing that might be worth watching.
