text: GLENBOW MUSEUM 2009�2010 ANNuAL REPORT Kris Demeanor, Glenbow artist-in-residence, 2009�2010 Working with the Glenbow satisfied the two goals I most wish to tackle in art � pushing myself creatively through responding musically to [artwork on exhibit], and connecting meaningfully with the public by writing songs with families visiting the Glenbow. The uniqueness of these events has proven memorable. I am reminded of them often by the fans, friends and patrons who attended. I see immense potential in further collaboration with multidisciplinary artists and the Glenbow � it's a rich and inspiring world.

Glenbow's strategic plan has six key priorities that provide a clear direction for Glenbow's future: develop a vision for programs, exhibitions and art and culture education and appreciation initiatives that respond to the needs of the community; clearly articulate our brand and align it with our key audiences; develop a business model that ensures shortterm and long-term sustainability; foster an invigorated workforce; optimize our existing facilities and infrastructure; and develop a vision and plan for a new facility that meets the needs of our visual arts program. Our strategic plan will guide us in the next stage of our development; however we are already making changes and seeing the impact of the plan. Our strong exhibition program in mid-summer 2009 through early 2010 has resulted in both critical and popular appeal. The Glenbow-curated Vistas: Artists on the Canadian Pacific Railway exhibition is now on tour and the accompanying catalogue produced by Glenbow won the 2009 Canadian Museums Award for best publication and the Alberta Book Awards best trade non-fiction book. Real Life: Ron Mueck and Guy Ben-Ner, travelling from the National Gallery of Canada, attracted national media attention from the transit marketing campaign Glenbow launched featuring Mueck's larger-than-life and startlingly realistic sculptures of newborn babies. Bev Tosh's exhibition, War Brides: One Way Passage, was seen by thousands of visitors with special significance to war brides, veterans and their families. Kent Monkman: The Triumph of Mischief featured the evocative work of this Canadian artist who creates new interpretations of the "Old West" as a land of cross-dressing, role-swapping play between "cowboys and indians." This exhibition was overwhelmingly met with positive visitor Kent Monkman, artist My experience at the Glenbow exceeded my expectations. aside from the rewarding experience of having my work resonate with the permanent collection, I found the staff to be professional, warm and meticulous about all aspects of my show, especially their efforts toward great publicity and getting the huge audience out for the opening. Many thanks! " GLENBOW ANNUAL REPORT 2009�2010 | 1 " feedback and media interest � a testament that A key learning from our work on the strategic plan and stakeholder sessions found that many Calgarians and Albertans are not aware of Glenbow's unique funding model. The collections are owned by the Province of Alberta and Glenbow is contracted by the province to care for and provide access to the collections on behalf of the people of Alberta. For this service we receive approximately 40 percent of our funding from the Province of Alberta. Approximately 10 percent of our funding is comprised of grants from The Government of Canada, the City of Calgary and foundations. The remaining 50 percent comes from attendance, memberships, donors and corporate sponsors and draws on the endowment funds. As such, our economic model is subject to the overall economy and market. Over the past year, expenses were reduced by $1.5 million. But revenues also declined so we had a deficit of $1.3 million. After careful consideration, we concluded it prudent to fund this deficit from the endowment funds instead of cutting services more drastically. Glenbow is committed to running balanced budgets and, as part of the strategic plan, we have developed a | Glenbow President and CEO, Kirstin Evenden (left), with Board Chair George E. Bezaire. Calgary is excited by and interested in work that challenges perceptions and overturns accepted historical stereotypes. Our new programming initiatives are also welcoming new visitors of all ages with specially priced lunch time programs for the Takao Tanabe, Southern Alberta Foothills, 1982, Collection of Glenbow Museum downtown business crowd, new evening public openings on a pay-what-you-can basis, in-depth discussions and presentations from artists and authors, and new family programming that sees our whole building come to life at Weekend at the Museum. The new programs all reflect our new vision and will continue to grow in 2010�11. There is much community anticipation for our upcoming exhibitions in 2011, particularly 77 Million Paintings by acclaimed British musician, producer and visual artist Brian Eno, the exhibition Yousuf Karsh: Regarding Heroes from the collection of the Art institute of Chicago and The Warrior Emperor and China's Terracotta Army travelling from China (in partnership with the Royal Ontario Museum, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Royal British Columbia Museum). 2 | GLENBOW ANNUAL REPORT 2009�2010 PRESiDENT'S & CHAiR'S MESSAGE comprehensive multi-year budget which returns us to a balanced position. We will continue to manage costs carefully and have developed exciting new strategies to increase revenue. With the Board of Governors' support, we continue to discuss with the Province of Alberta the appropriate level of funding from the service agreement to ensure care and access of their collection. We are initiating a new form of corporate membership to enable the business community to be more involved with Glenbow in a way that is mutually beneficial. We have re-considered our approach to program and exhibition sponsorship, and will be offering more and enhanced partnerships for individuals and corporations � including naming opportunities for gallery spaces and long-term partnership opportunities to support multi-year and seriesbased programs and exhibitions. This year, we launched a facility rentals program which is on track to exceed our annual revenue. Our upcoming line-up of exhibitions means we have opportunities to grow memberships and annual giving with our faithful and key supporters and welcome new community partners. Glenbow is committed to further developing our visual arts program for the city. One of Kirstin Evenden, M.A. President and CEO the important facets of this program is the recognition that our physical facility requires renovation and expansion. A new facility will take time and planning to develop. it requires the community's support to be successful. We invite you to read our plans to position ourselves to better deliver on that vision and future capital campaigns for the new facility that Calgary deserves at www.glenbow.org/vision. Reflecting on the past year, we are proud of Glenbow's Board, staff and volunteers for their hard work and commitment to the institution. Like many other non-profits, Glenbow has had to cut staffing and operating expenses. Despite these financial challenges, Glenbow's employees continue to deliver exceptional exhibitions, programs and services to the public. Art and culture matter. We invite you to read the highlights of our 2009�2010 year to be reminded of the important roles that art and culture play in our daily lives. We look forward to welcoming you to Glenbow soon. George E. Bezaire Chair, Board of Governors Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art, National Gallery of Canada Jonathan Shaughnessy " In working with the Glenbow on the real life exhibition, I was very impressed with the enthusiasm and professionalism of staff; certainly their commitment to the vision of the show and its artworks came through in [their] presentation. ... Innovation also led the day as the Glenbow's programming raised the bar as to what can be done to make an exhibition of contemporary art exciting and accessible for a broad audience, especially younger viewers.

" visitor to the February 13, 2010 Glenbow Bares All Launch Party " GLENBOW ANNUAL REPORT 2009�2010 | 5 PROGRAM hiGhLiGhTS | Canadian artist Kent Monkman's reputation has soared since 2007. his exhibition at Glenbow, Kent Monkman: The Triumph of Mischief (february � April, 2010), was Calgary's first major presentation of his work. here he is (right) with Gerald McMaster, Curator of Canadian Art at the Art Gallery of Ontario, as part of our In Conversation series. iN CONvErSATiON Glenbow hosts talks by some of the most nationally and internationally significant artists, curators and scholars of our time to provide insight into art and culture. This new evening series featured talks with internationally renowned artist Kent Monkman (who discussed his practice with Gerald McMaster, Curator of Canadian Art at the Art Gallery of Ontario), and a talk with Haida Manga artist Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas in partnership with WordFest. Through this engaging format, museum visitors garnered insight into contemporary art practice and learned about the influences, ideas and techniques that some artists are exploring today. WEEKEND AT ThE MuSEuM in winter 2010, Glenbow made some changes to our family programming based on member and visitor feedback, attendance results and best practice research. We moved away from offering family programs every Sunday (Family Fun Sundays). instead, Glenbow offered an all weekend family extravaganza when the public exhibition floors opened to families to participate in workshops and collaborative art projects, tours, performances and exploration of galleries throughout the museum in a fun and festival-like atmosphere. The first Weekend at the Museum, held on March 13 and 14, 2010, welcomed over 800 visitors of all ages. This new innovative series will be featured three times per year.

HERRON PARADE SADDLE Glenbow acquired an impressive array of artifacts from the William S. Herron Family Charitable Foundation into the cultural history iNDiGENOuS STuDiES LAKSMi AND BHUDEVi With the generous support of the Bumper Development Corporation, Glenbow acquired two rare Hindu sculptures from the Chola culture that date between the late ninth and early twelfth century A.D. At one time these matched sculptures may have been placed on either side of a central, larger image of Lord Vishnu, the "God of Preservation." Laksmi ("She of the Many Thousands") would have stood to the right of Lord Vishnu. She governs beauty, love, wealth and luck, embodying sublime beauty, siddhi peace, strength, balance, opulence and wisdom. Laksmi is the bringer of good fortune and is associated with both material and spiritual prosperity. Bhudevi ("Goddess of the Earth" also known as Prthivi, "The Nourisher") would have been to the left of Lord Vishnu. She is the goddess of the earth and fertility. Whenever Bhudevi complains that she is being oppressed by a certain demon, Vishnu rescues the earth from her predicament. collection. The Herron acquisition enhances the material representing Calgary booster, oil man and "maverick" Bill Herron. Trophies, custom-made parade suits and accessories and a remarkable show saddle outfit testify to the Herron family's deep involvement with western horse culture from the 1940s to the 1960s. Bill Herron's outstanding saddle outfit, complete with tooled designs and engraved silver mounts, was one of four he commissioned from Riley & McCormick's master saddle maker John Foss, about 1947. Outfitted with these striking saddles and matching gear, the family won events throughout southern Alberta. above: Lakshmi and Bhudevi, ca. 10th century A.D., Collection of Glenbow Museum; right: W.S.

ArT AuTuMN BY TOM THOMSON Autumn is the first work by Tom Thomson in Glenbow's art collection � a gift to the museum bestowed in loving memory of Don McMorland by his family. Tom Thomson's stature in Canadian art is legendary. Although associated with the artists of the Group of Seven, he died under tragic and mysterious circumstances three years before the Group was formed. This oil sketch of trees in the forest is animated by thick impasto, visible brushstrokes and the juxtaposition of rich colours. The painting is spontaneously and freely executed and, in many ways, almost verges on abstraction. The composition is created entirely by a patchwork of rich colour swatches which disperse the energy in all directions. ArChivES THE NEW GALLERY One of the most significant donations to the Archives in the past year was the records of The New Gallery. One of the first artist-run centres in the city, the gallery originated as the Clouds `n' Water Gallery in 1975 and was also known as Off Centre Centre before adopting its current name in 1987. The gallery has been situated in many spaces in the city over the years and is currently located in Art Central. The organization's focus has also changed over the years to reflect the cultural community in the city and the needs of the artistic community. The archival collection consists of bylaws, minutes, photographs, incorporation documents, annual reports, programming records, fundraising and financial files, records of New Gallery advocacy in the community, and records detailing relationships Glenbow Library volunteer Jane McDonald My experience volunteering with the Glenbow is immensely rewarding � each time I volunteer I learn something new. I feel privileged to be part of the dedicated team of library staff and volunteers and to contribute to making materials in the library collection more accessible to others. " 8 | GLENBOW ANNUAL REPORT 2009�2010 " with other organizations in the cultural community. Generously, The New Gallery provided a grant to match federal funds sourced by Glenbow to ensure the timely cataloguing of the archive. A detailed inventory of the fonds is available on the Glenbow website at: www.glenbow.org/collections/search/ findingaids/archtm/newgallery.cfb. LiBrAry FEDERATiON OF CALGARY COMMUNiTiES City streets that seem to have more potholes than asphalt, not enough schools in the subdivision, that ever-increasing municipal tax bill ... sound familiar? These are just a few of the problems identified in a collection of community association newsletters, some more than half-a-century old, that the Glenbow Library received from the Federation of Calgary Communities. The Federation is an umbrella organization which provides information on matters of interest to local communities, including zoning, traffic and development issues. The collection also includes publications of local interest, such as city planning reports and publications documenting national and international concerns, including demographic studies relevant to planning for Calgary's growth and discussions of the need for sustainable development in North American cities.

The collection reflects the passion that Robert Borden, Bumper's founder and chairman, and his wife, Susan, developed for these remarkable works. Starting as a novice collector after a chance encounter with an art advisor while on an airplane, Robert Borden soon developed a discerning eye and a profound knowledge about this work and the cultures from which it comes. Many of the pieces in this collection are masterpieces and include both iconic and rare representations of great Bhuddist and Hindu traditions. The Bordens believe that great art belongs to all of humanity and that it is vitally important that it be seen and appreciated by a diverse audience. innumerable school children are introduced to the magnificence of the cultures and art of Asia through this collection; at the same time, the gallery has become a place of peace and repose for many visitors. Glenbow is an enthusiastic partner in presenting this collection, a partnership that has been ongoing for a quarter of a century. Fortifying this relationship, over the past 20 years, the Bordens have generously gifted many of these works to Glenbow and the people of Canada. As Robert Borden writes in the introduction to the gallery, "it is only when we understand and appreciate the creative ability of artists in many cultures that we can fully appreciate the art of our own culture." We are honoured by these donations and are proud to enjoy a collaboration with the Bordens that benefits not only the museum, but all Albertans. 10 | GLENBOW ANNUAL REPORT 2009�2010 ERiC L. HARViE GLENBOW AWArD DiNNEr Each year, Glenbow's Eric L. Harvie Dinner is an exciting opportunity for the community to support Glenbow's exhibitions and programs and to come together to celebrate the contributions of like-minded Calgarians who have made a significant difference to the arts and cultural life in Calgary. The seventh annual Eric L. Harvie Glenbow Award Dinner was held on October 15, 2009 and honoured Dr. Hugh A. Dempsey and The Calgary Foundation for their ongoing commitment to art and culture in Calgary. Dr. huGh A. DEMPSEy Dr. Dempsey is a Canadian historian, author, teacher and the first Chief Curator Emeritus at Glenbow. He was hired by Eric Harvie as Glenbow's first archivist in 1956 and eventually served as Director of History, Director of Collections and Associate Director, holding this position until his retirement in 1991. in addition to his continued role as editor of the Historical Society of Alberta's journal, Alberta History, Dr. Dempsey has written 18 books. in 1967, he was made an honourary member of the Blood Tribe and in 1975 he became a Member of the Order of Canada. in 1991, the Hugh A. Dempsey Reading Room at Glenbow was named in his honour. For Dr. Dempsey, it is people, their personal stories and their regular lives which can be the most revealing about history. He has been known to say, "i met the great, the near great and the just plain interesting, and of those three groups, the just plain interesting were the most interesting." His commitment to history has meant that stories that might have been left untold and undocumented are recorded in his many publications and in the wonderful collections he built at Glenbow. The Calgary Foundation is recognized as one of the strongest community foundations in Canada today. it has a robust arts and culture portfolio that supports a number of cultural initiatives which contribute to the overall wellness of our community. The Calgary Foundation and its donors have been very supportive of Glenbow and its programs over the years. Currently, the Foundation is supporting Glenbow's distance learning program. ThE CALGAry fOuNDATiON Established in 1995, The Calgary Foundation assists donors in creating a giving and caring community by applying its resources, expertise and leadership in partnership with others to identify and address issues in the Calgary and area community.

Logistical problems in implementing uniform reservation policy: Salman Khurshid
NEW DELHI: Union Minister of State for Minority Affairs Salman Khurshid said on Saturday that as of now the government had no plan to move on the Ranganath Misra Commission's recommendation of a 15 per cent education and job quota for minorities. He said for his Ministry, the guiding force was and continued to be the Rajinder Sachar Committee's report on large-scale deprivation among Muslims
Addressing a press conference here to mark the completion of one year in office of the second United Progressive Alliance Government, Mr. Khurshid said the aim of his Ministry was to move away from viewing reservation as a one-stop measure and instead broadbase affirmative action so that it became a platform for empowerment and access to opportunity.
Asked specifically about the growing demand by Muslim groups for reservation, the Minister said there were logistical problems in implementing a uniform reservation policy. West Bengal, which had taken a decision in principle to reserve 10 per cent seats and jobs for Muslims, was still to reach the Supreme Court-imposed 50 per cent ceiling on reservation. On the other hand, there was no scope for a 10 per cent reservation in Uttar Pradesh.
When his attention was drawn to Tamil Nadu, which had exceeded the 50 per cent ceiling, the Minister said the court was clear that the ceiling could be breached only in extraordinary situations: "In the normal course, we would be foolhardy to go beyond the 50 per cent."
Mr. Khurshid said that over the last year his Ministry had shown progress on all indicators, and was on target for new goalposts. When a reporter sought his views on the rash of recent fatwas from the Darul Uloom Deoband and other Maulanas, Mr. Khurshid said he did not want to be drawn into the fatwa controversy. He said there could not be a louder condemnation of the fatwas than the achievements of his Ministry.
The Ministry, he said, had started in 2006 with five ongoing schemes and a budget allocation of Rs. 130.89 crore. By 2009-2010, it was running 12 schemes on a budget of Rs. 1,740 crore. Not only four schemes were added in the current fiscal, the budget allocation for the Ministry was up by 50 per cent to Rs. 2,600 crore. The Ministry had spent 98.33 per cent of the 2009-2010 allocation, the bulk of this, Rs. 1243.80 crore, going to the various States and Union Territories under the Multi-Sectoral Development Programme launched in 2008 in 90 targeted Minority Concentration Districts (MCDs).
The Minister denied that the States had shown insufficient interest in lifting the Central funds for the 90 MCDs, arguing that the programme had a longish gestation period because of which the results were not immediately apparent. "You would see the impact this year," he said, adding National Level Monitors had been appointed to oversee the MCD programme as well as other schemes and measures formulated by his Ministry.
Mr. Khurshid said that since 2007-2008, 1,759 public sector bank branches had been opened in the 90 MCDs. In the same period, the authorised share capital of the National Minorities Development and Finance Corporation had been raised to Rs. 1,000 crore, while the share of minorities in priority sector lending had reached 13 per cent (accounting for Rs. 1,08,850.89 crore). Also, government guidelines resulted in an increasing trend of minorities recruitment in government and the PSUs.

Audio/modem riser
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (November 2012)
The audio/modem riser, also known as an AMR slot, is a riser expansion slot found on the motherboards of some Pentium III, Pentium 4, Duron, and Athlon personal computers. It was designed by Intel to interface with chipsets and provide analog functionality, such as sound cards and modems, on an expansion card.
Design goals[edit]
One of the design goals of Intel for AMR was to allow motherboard manufacturers a way to implement analog I/O (audio and modem functionality) on an expansion card for U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification. Potential cost-savings could then be realized by reusing the card on multiple motherboards and skipping FCC certification for those motherboards.
Physically, it has two rows of 23 pins, making 46 pins total. Three drawbacks of AMR are that it eliminates one Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) slot, it is not plug and play, and it does not allow for hardware accelerated cards (only software-based).
Technologically, it has been superseded by the Advanced Communications Riser (ACR) and Intel's own Communications and Networking Riser (CNR). However, riser technologies in general never really took off. Modems generally remained as PCI cards while audio and network interfaces were integrated on to motherboards.
Recently[when?] motherboard manufacturer ASRock has resurrected this concept, introducing the High Definition Multimedia Riser (HDMR) slot on most of its motherboards. Little information is available, but drivers on the Asrock website indicate the existence of V.92 modem cards for this standard. It is not clear how HDMR differs from AMR, if indeed at all.

Neither Shaw nor Tóibín could predict with any confidence how Broadway audiences will react to this piece. Tóibín noted that when the play debuted in Dublin, the theater provided ample exits for those who chose to walk out and discussed how to manage spectator protests. But no one left, and no one objected. "The theater was full every night," he said.
Shaw describes New York audiences as generous, but also quite demanding. "When we took Medea here, people laughed quicker, faster, sharper, and more viscerally than they did in London," she said. "It seems to me that there's a kind of intensity of expectation of audiences in America." Yet she does not know how spectators will react should the play challenge their particular religious beliefs.
In rehearsal, Shaw said, she focuses very little on broader questions of faith, truth, glory. "This story that we have here is a woman trying to get through a day," she said. "I get the feeling that she's probably someone whose great desire would be to be anonymous. That's the thing that history has ripped from her."

Unless you do as Nick suggests, and pay someone else, there is no easy way.
Using sandpaper is out-of-favour and often not permitted in many yards due to the likelihood of toxic dust spreading about the yard. You can tarp off your boat, but then you are putting yourself in that toxic cloud that concentrates as you work.
Wetsanding avoids the dust, but creates a runoff that must be contained and disposed of as well. In these environmentally concious times you just can't get away with much anymore.
Scrapers, dropping the product onto a ground sheet so you can collect it will do the job with a mimimum of mess and carry-over. A gel - type paint remover can be used for early layers, but caution is needed when you get close to the actual fibreglass.
Other than a full gelcoat peel, it's going to take either cash or a lot of elbow grease to get to where you want to be.
I won't say: Have fun....

This custom fit shade is terrific. It was made for my 07 Tundra with camper shell. It fits like a glove, including the deep pocket mirror cuts. It's a bit difficult to install by yourself because the truck is so tall, but it's worth the effort. It does my heart good to watch the water roll right off during a rain.

Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Karen O"Immigrant Song"
Led Zepplin's classic, bathed in Sterno fire, is exactly the kind of napalm-gargling salvo you don't want to serve as your opponents' intro music if you actually want to win NFL championships.
Metallica"The Rebel of Babylon"
Sixty seconds in, Metallica tunnels beneath the mansion of your disdain and cleans out your panic room, Ocean's Eleven style. Then it's on to the fine china, the wall safe, the private hangar. See, they're like the Patriots, in a sense. Scoring five touchdowns while blanking your favorite team in the first quarter isn't enough—they're going to spend the rest of the game dancing with your corpse, like Perry Ferrell in The Gift.
Masaki Batoh"Eye Tracking Test"
Ghost's Batoh proffers thin, reedy scales that register as drones. It's solidly odd meditation music for Tom Brady and Eli Manning to review old game tapes en route to figuring out to avoid high-impact tenderization.
"Crossed fingers for the win"? Of course, but that's a failsafe: You prep hard, psych up hard, then go hard on game day. Minneapolis's Doomtree—whose No Kings is resolutely glass-half-full barrage hip hop—know this better than most.
People of the North"Steep Formations"
A defiantly machinist, white noise-billowing fount, "Steep Formations" scans as Kid Millions and Bobby Matador's attempt to demonstrate that they've got more than Neu! bootlegs in their collective bag of tricks. It also doubles as what fans of the team that loses this Sunday's Super Bowl—faces chapped with cold, parkas drenched in Molson, and seeing only red—can expect upon leaving Lucas Oil Stadium.

08 September 2000 15:49 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (CNI)--French engineering group Technip announced Friday it has entered into a global technology alliance with BP to deliver all the Anglo-American energy and chemicals giant's purified terephthalic acid (PTA) projects.
Technip has set up a dedicated team based in Rome to work exclusively on the PTA alliance with BP, said a spokeswoman for the French group. She told CNI that the special unit consists of 20 people focusing on PTA technology issues, and that Technip's resources in the alliance are further strengthened by staff based across the world who are helping BP investigate PTA investment decisions.
Both BP and Technip said that the aims of the alliance are to reduce the overall cost of PTA plant ownership, and to reduce project cycle time. Neither company would disclose the performance targets on ownership costs and cycle time, or any details on the commercial structure of the alliance. Technip said, though, that the duration of the PTA partnership is open-ended.
Technip said that it would provide engineering and unspecified "certain services" to BP under the alliance. A spokesman for BP said that the alliance would see Technip provide engineering and procurement services to its PTA projects.
The BP spokesman said that Technip is currently working on two key PTA projects for the group. They are the 20% expansion of its No3 PTA plant in Geel, Belgium, which has a capacity of 500 000 tonne/year, and a facility being developed in Zhuhai, Guangdong, China under a joint venture that BP has with two local companies. BP has an 80% stake in the venture and its partners are the Fu Hua Group (15%) and China Chemical Fibre Group (5%).
BP's confirmed that the 350 000 tonne/year project is progressing well towards its scheduled completion deadline of early 2003. The project was originally planned to have a capacity of 250 000 tonne/year, he said, but weak market conditions delayed the project's initial target completion date of early 2001.
The energy and chemicals giant is the world's leading producer of PTA with a total annual capacity of 5.36m tonne/year. BP's top ranking in PTA followed its acquisition of US energy and chemicals group Amoco.
Following the Amoco acquisition, BP has highlighted a host of other PTA projects on the near horizon - all of which Technip is now earmarked to execute. The additional PTA projects are:
Technip built a number of PTA projects now held by BP, including:
Earlier this week BP and Technip signed an exclusive, global agreement on polyolefins process design. They said that the agreement is unrelated to the alliance announced today, and which was signed Wednesday.

California "Repeal the Dills Act" (2012)
|Not on Ballot
| This measure did not or
will not appear on a ballot
However, its sponsor withdrew the measure from consideration on December 13, 2011, prior to a ballot title or summary being prepared for it.
Victor U. Sanchez submitted the letter requesting a ballot title on October 21. A ballot title and summary were expected by December 15, 2011. Had the documents been issued, sponsors of #11-0052 would have had 150 days to collect 504,760 signatures to qualify the proposed initiative for the November 6, 2012 ballot.
Had the measure proceeded to the ballot and been approved, it would have repealed California's "Dills Act." The Dills Act was passed in 1978, and it is what gave public service unions the right to collective bargaining.[1]
The "Dills Act" was California Senate Bill 839, the "State Employer-Employee Relations Act (SEERA)." It was named after its sponsor, state senator Ralph C. Dills. Dills served for 42 years in the California State Senate, making him the longest-serving state legislator in state history. He earned the nickname "Mr. Collective Bargaining" for his role in passing SB839.[1]
