LYNWOOD, Calif. — Sheriff’s deputies from the Century Station were credited today with saving a man who was standing on a roof, armed with a knife, screaming for someone to kill him.

Deputies were called to the 10500 block of Long Beach Boulevard on Monday afternoon to deal with the distraught man, who was pacing back and forth, lowering the knife, and then placing its tip on his chest, according to Century Station officials.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — The Los Angeles Unified School District board voted unanimously today to continue the Breakfast in the Classroom program, which has faced some criticism for cutting into instruction time and causing some unsanitary conditions at schools.

“Every program … has problems with its implementation,” board member Steve Zimmer said. “That’s what happens. It’s not breaking news. Our obligation is to work out the problems. That’s what we do.”
