The preservation of century-old buildings at Abbotsford Convent is at risk after the convent failed to secure council funds for repairs.
The Abbotsford Convent Foundation asked Yarra Council to allocate $1 million of funding across five years to assist with the restoration of 40 per cent of the heritage-listed site's ageing buildings.
The foundation asked for $200,000 per year for the project, but its request was denied.
The foundation receives no financial support from any tier of government to run the facility, which houses more than 100 artist studios, small businesses, eateries and galleries.
The foundation's chief executive Maggie Maguire said 50 per cent of the site's buildings had been restored during the past decade, but there were concerns the longer the remaining buildings were left, the more costly and difficult they would be to preserve.
"The convent has survived 10 years without government funding," she said. "Whenever we've wanted to do restoration, we've had generous support from philanthropists, but now they feel there should be government support as well."
Ms Maguire said the foundation had submitted funding requests for $4 million to the federal government and $14 million to the state government to assist with its restoration works. She said that while a generous $2 million philanthropic donation had been pledged for the project, it was disappointing not to have the council's support.
"The two tiers of government would look more favourably on the project if it was being supported by the local government," she said.
Yarra mayor Jackie Fristacky said the proposal for such significant funding could not be accommodated late in the budget process without substantial impacts on other funding.
She said the convent's application had been referred to a mid-year review of the budget so that it could be reconsidered.

Military Law
Have Military Law Questions? Ask a Military Lawyer.
Hello,Thank you for your question. Same sex domestic partners of retirees are now entitled to the same benefits as married servicemember and retiree spouses are. That said, the DOD is implementing the changes as we speak, so the Secretary of Defense ordered the Departments to have procedures in place to implement the policy change with a target date of August 31, 2013. However, they have until October 1 (which is the beginning the the Government's fiscal year) if needed. So, that means as early as August 31, same sex domestic partners can apply for ID cards and enroll/use other benefits that are listed in the following links: (you can see the benefits by going to those links)http://www.defense.gov/news/same-sexbenefitsmemo.pdfhttp://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=119260Please let me know if you need any clarification. I would be glad to assist you further if I can.
I understand your answer; but what of the case of legally registered opposite sex domestic partners in California?
Are you saying that I can take my California opposite sex Domestic Partnership registration certificate to a military ID issuing facility & they must issue an ID for my Domestic partner of 35 yrs. in spite of not being "Married" due to her religious beliefs?
Thank you for your help attempting to interpret another Government "SNAFU". I guess, like the health care bill, we "Need to Read it to Find Out Whats in it!" Have a great day & again Thanks. A Retired Navy Chief.

In Lou Banas' Letter to the Editor ("Time to consider city travel," Brea/La Habra Star-Progress Voices page, July 4), he seems not to understand the issues at hand. His points are far afield from the relevant topic.
First, the discussion about the sister city trip to Korea is not about the travel budget itself – it's about the appropriateness of spending city money to send anyone on a sister city trip. Other than the time that the city paid for then-Mayor Roy Moore's airfare to Anseong, Korea, (he paid the rest of the expenses himself and has explained the situation publicly), the tradition always has been that council members and staff who wish to go on a sister city trip will pay their own way because these are cultural, not business, exchanges.
Secondly, to bring in (Marty) Simonoff's ability to travel is off-point and inaccurate. He has visited Brea's sister cities in Mexico, Korea and Hanno, Japan – all on his own personal dime.
Finally, almost no one is making a stink about the size of the travel budget or whether it's useful for the city to pay for council members or staff to attend regional, state and national meetings that will help educate them and bring value back to Brea. These are legitimate business expenses and in the best interest of our community.
So other than to spend an inordinate amount of ink bashing a particular council member who has been asking a legitimate question about a piece of the travel budget and policy, I don't understand what Banas' point is. Simonoff asked only for the "itinerary" to justify the expenditure, to show the legitimacy of the expenditure to prove it was not a sightseeing expenditure on the "taxpayers' dollar," as many believe. The three individuals who took the trip to Japan and Korea, as well as the council majority, have refused to provide the simple request not only to Simonoff, but to the public that has asked for this information for months.
What I'm asking for is more accountability, openness and transparency from our Brea City Council – and a lot more discernment.
– Ray Harris, Brea
Letter-writer Lou Banas' 1 percent theory justifying Brea's excessive travel budget is irrelevant in the face of overwhelming proof – provided by columnist Terri Daxon – that many O.C. communities comparable to Brea's find travel budgets a fraction the size of ours to be more than sufficient, and foreign travel is virtually unknown.
Yes, larger examples of wasteful spending can be found, and the sole-sourced Chevron Energy Solar Project comes to mind. There is an independent analysis of this project that suggests the project will be lucky to break even. And we're still stuck with $30 million bond debt.
What keeps the "Koreagate" issue alive is the conspicuous misappropriation of public funds. The unofficial and unnecessary junket, slipped through a poorly managed travel budget, will prove to be a chargeable offense. The claim that the trip was anything but a sightseeing excursion is a lie of absurd proportions.
Last November's election was determined more by the meddling of the old guard, not the travel issue as Banas suggests.
The local, regional, state and national organizations Banas hints at are mostly lobbying groups chartered to represent the interests of local government, not the people they're supposed to serve. The time is long overdue to re-examine our expensive, unnecessary involvement in these organizations. How many enhanced senior and veterans services, family movies or concerts in the park could we afford if we stopped paying their exorbitant annual dues?
The image of Mayor (Ron) Garcia traveling to Washington to represent Brea in discussions about illegal immigration is laughable. What exactly is Brea's policy on immigration anyway? Why would a little town of 40,000, a hundred miles from the closest border, be wading in on an issue at the federal level?
Finally, writers who do not share an opinion on a matter are not automatically pawns of public officials. They, like you and me, are exercising their First Amendment rights.
– Rick Clark, Brea

He smiles one-and-a-half times in less than 30 minutes, probably an indoor record for Duncan Fletcher - and that is moments after meeting the Queen (if you're into that sort of thing, and I get the feeling the man who masterminded England's redemption of the Ashes last summer is chuffed to pieces about being invited to Buckingham Palace).
But what a fickle lot we are. The players now dripping in gongs, the drunken recipients of that glorious acclamation through the streets of London after the fifth Test, hailed from Lord's to Land's End and back as the rightful heirs to Richard the Lionheart, Wellington and Margaret Rutherford, were almost simultaneously written off by the bookmakers as they packed for India.
They fly out today 11-4 underdogs for the three-Test series. India are 4-5. No doubt, Fletcher's men will also start second in Australia in November, despite holding the urn. All of which was enough to bring one fully fledged grin and a half-smirk to the jowled features of this most astute of coaches. Not that he's worried. It's just that he feels England have earned the right to be feared. And, outside Ladbrokes, they are.
The job Fletcher has done with England over six years, first with Nasser Hussain and latterly with Michael Vaughan (as well as Rodney Marsh, Troy Cooley and the others beavering away in the background), has been remarkable. It is easy to forget how irretrievably lost England looked not that long ago. What the Zimbabwean has done is to give them steel, then a sort of restrained swagger.
It is most obviously personified in Andrew Flintoff. But it ripples through the squad elsewhere. Even the perennially laid-back Steve Harmison is moved now to give vent to his emotions. Simon Jones needs no encouragement to let rip a tirade of well-chosen observations in the face of any batsmen, preferably Australian. Ashley Giles, missing from the start of this tour, is another whose understated grit makes such a difference to the dressing room, and on the pitch when events don't always conform to the carefully prepared plans of Fletcher and Vaughan. The captain, too, is tough - in the quietest of ways. He was a revelation in out-thinking and, at times, out-psyching the more volatile Ricky Ponting, and he will have enjoyed the way Australia's captain completely lost it last week when film of Phil Tufnell laying into his team was shown at an awards ceremony.
Fletcher famously grinned like a schoolboy at Ponting when he ran himself out at Trent Bridge. When Ponting stormed off and replied in colourful Strine, the England coach knew he had scored a significant psychological point. Tufnell likewise seems to have rattled him. It bodes well for a great Ashes rematch.
In some ways, Fletcher resembles his counterpart in the England football set-up, Sven-Goran Eriksson. Neither gets carried away with the hysteria that greets either success or failure. Both are articulate outsiders unburdened by a lifetime of disappointment. They are clinical and level-headed. Fletcher, though, is the harder of the pair, a man who almost invites the stupid question so he can bat it away with a lowering of his eyelids.
Does he consider the honours bestowed on the team that day have delivered them a timely serving of national goodwill?
'If it adds goodwill, all well and good,' he says, 'but, from my point of view, we normally go out there with a lot of goodwill at any rate. It has just been a great day.' (There is more of this, as Fletcher strives to calm the building hopes of the gathered hacks. Fletcher, like Eriksson has perfected the knack of reducing all pronouncements to the anodyne level of the shipping forecast.)
On the practicalities - ie injuries, likely starting line-up in the first Test - he rolls out a workmanlike report to inform us that his captain 'is feeling confident in what he can do' and that he will be soon be practising running between the wickets to test his hamstring; as with Vaughan, so with Kevin Pietersen, Jones and Flintoff. He will know more, he says, after the first warm-up game. He does point out: 'There is always going to be a concern over Michael with that sort of injury.' It might, he says, 'be a recurring injury for the rest of his career - yet it might not'. If his cards were any closer to his his chest, they'd be sticking out the back of shirt. There must be a more serious worry over Vaughan than anyone will let on publicly, however. The cause of all this is blindingly obvious, and Fletcher returns to it: burnout. England have only 50 days off over the next 15 months and he knows that, at some point, he will lose a key player or two.
'I've been going on about this since I've been involved with England, about resting players. We might have to rest them [from internationals]. You've got to be very careful when you do it, because it can come back and bite you. We saw it in the one-day series [in Pakistan] where we were missing key players - Pietersen, Vaughan, Giles. It's a very difficult decision. And you've got to think about the public. Are they getting a fair deal if you leave a player out? Somewhere along the line you're going to have to bite the bullet. And some time before the World Cup we're going to have to give players a rest. I've said before we play too much cricket, but the programme's there and we've got to go and do it.'
The player England have to look after most closely, he fears, could be Flintoff. His talisman, batting ace and strike bowler has hardly bowled at all in the nets since returning from Pakistan, he says, and will need the most expert husbanding in India if he is to be in good shape for Australia. Because, as much as he protests to the contrary, that is Fletcher's priority.
'I tell you now, I don't care who you're playing, winning is winning. I can't say one tour is more important than another. You go and play one of the weaker countries, you're under huge pressure. You can't afford to lose. You've just got to win. And when the other side is very good you want to beat them because they're a good side. So, I want to beat India in India. We have to prove we can play in Australia, on the subcontinent, South Africa, the West Indies. You can't say, "I'd rather win this one than that one." You go out to win every Test match, and every day.'
Fine - but, while such irrefutable common sense sends the right signals to his team, it won't wash with the much larger constituency outside the dressing room who were so enthralled by the team's heroics last season.
He says that after the Ashes he feared his players might struggle to 'get up' for Pakistan. But he says losing there did not confirm those fears. He was more than happy with their commitment - less so with the application of their skills.
'At times you've got to show a little bit more patience [than England did - especially in the first Test]. You've got to get in on those wickets. They're not wickets we play on on a regular basis. From there, you can lift your game and probably play a little bit more positively.'
He can't see England-India providing the sort of fireworks batting their hosts put on alongside Pakistan, however. 'You talk about scoring rates. Their techniques are slightly different from ours.'
The player he missed in Pakistan more than any batsman, though, was surely Simon Jones.
Jones, recovering well from injury - but not for the first time it is noted - will be crucial to sharing the bowling responsibilities and, with his reverse swing at extreme pace, will negate any lifelessness in the pitches in India, Fletcher says. 'It's crucial out there that you have a bowler who can skid the ball through, rather than someone who hits the deck harder. It's a huge advantage when you come to your second-change bowler and he can send it down at 90 miles an hour.'
Which brings us neatly on to the most fascinating conundrum facing England at the other end of the pace spectrum: Monty Panesar. It comes as something of a surprise to learn that Fletcher has seen the Northamptonshire left-arm spinner just once in person and only a few times briefly on television. 'I saw him have one or two bowls two or three years ago. You have to rely on the other selectors, other players. I'm just going to go out there and have a look at him in the first two warm-up games. We're going to have to juggle the spin bowlers. It's not ideal.'
So, has the out-and-out spinner (his batting is, apparently, improving, but from a very low base, and it's unlikely he will ever outshine Paul Collingwood in the field) got an earthly of playing in the Tests?
As ever, he is giving little away - but you can read between the lines.
'It's important that you bat with a little bit of depth, but you've also got to weigh it up when you get there. You have to balance everything. You can't be too blinkered in your approach. I've heard that he's worked at his batting.'
He acknowledges Giles will be missed, 'for his experience', so it seems obvious Panesar would be a major gamble as a front-line spinner on his own. His best chance is if they are served up a fiery turner - and, on that count, Fletcher is not expecting any favours.
'India are very difficult at home, but I wouldn't say it will be tougher than Pakistan. I don't think there's much difference in the wickets. There might be a little bit more to help the seam bowlers.'
He agrees, also, that he likes the batting to have as much depth as possible - so step forward Ian Blackwell, who, on his day, can hit as hard and as far as any of the top-order batsmen and who does spin the ball prodigiously.
Inevitably, the conversation turns again to Australia, the obsession of writers and public alike (and, in private moments, the players and even the coach).
'Look, it was a great achievement [winning the Ashes], but we haven't achieved everything we want to yet.'
So, how does he think Australia have bounced back from the Ashes. 'They're a very, very good side. They've proved it over there. I've watched all their cricket, haven't really had a break, been getting up at half past five in the morning to watch it. I think there's one area they've probably got to look at: the importance of [Shane] Warne and [Glenn] McGrath. Two huge players - and they would leave a huge gap. There are no players right at this moment to fill that gap, but there could be. The one area in cricket where a player can improve quickly is in the quick-bowling department. You can't come from nowhere being a batter, and definitely a spin bowler takes time.'
So, Brett Dorey, the giant West Australian, may be another McGrath? Not likely. Fletcher diplomatically describes him as 'effective'.
In Fletcherspeak that's tantamount to saying England have a wonderful opportunity in 2007 to win back-to-back series against the best team in the world.
Fletcher's time with England has been an uplifting experience but the question that lingers the longer he stays is when will he go?
'Do you want me to?' he replies. Of course not, Duncan. Stay as long as you like. The only clue he'll give is to say he thinks ahead in chunks of 'six to nine months'. That takes him up to the Australian winter. And it is inconceivable he won't be there to finish the job at the World Cup.
'I've never had long-term plans,' he says. 'I'm still keen to do this job. There are a lot of areas to interest me.'
And for that we can all be thankful.

2012 Texas II: Jeff Burton NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Preview
Posted by: newsla on Oct 30, 2012 - 05:37 PM
2012 Texas II: Jeff Burton NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Preview
This Week's Caterpillar Chevrolet at Texas Motor Speedway ... Jeff Burton will race Chassis No. 367 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stable this weekend. This No. 31 Chevrolet has been utilized four times this season at Kansas Speedway in April (started-12th, finished-22nd), Pocono Raceway in June (started-20th, finished-15th), Michigan International Speedway in August (started-32nd, finished-19th) and Chicagoland Speedway in September (started-32nd, finished-24th).
No Stranger to Victory Lane ... Burton was Texas Motor Speedway's first two-time Sprint Cup Series race winner after visiting Victory Lane in the inaugural Sprint Cup Series event in 1997 and again in 2007. Burton has also tallied three top-five and nine top-10 finishes while leading 180 laps at the 1.5-mile facility.
Loopy in the "Lone Star State" ... Burton has garnered impressive NASCAR Loop Data statistics at Texas Motor Speedway since 2006. He has spent 2,596 Laps in the Top 15 and made 1,069 Green Flag Passes (seventh-most).
Featured Cat Dealers ... HOLT CAT and Warren CAT will be featured on the deck lid of the No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway.
HOLT CAT sells, rents and services Caterpillar machines, engines and generator sets in a 118-county Texas territory spanning from the Red River to the Rio Grande. HOLT CAT also offers total machine and engine rebuild capabilities, sells used equipment around the world and fabricates its own line of land clearing equipment and HOLT Spray King® water tankers. The Holt name has been associated with heavy equipment and Caterpillar for over 100 years. Peter M. Holt, chief executive officer, is the great-grandson of Benjamin Holt, who in 1904 developed the first successful track-type tractor which he named the "Caterpillar." HOLT CAT has come to be synonymous with quality, integrity and commitment to customer service. The HOLT CAT team of 1,700 men and women are committed to providing rock solid stability with superior products and services to heavy equipment and engine users from the Red River to the Rio Grande®. For more information, visit www.holtcat.com.

Warren's capabilities extend beyond their ability to offer the leading name in heavy equipment by dedicating their focus to providing customers with the finest service in the industry. As part of the Caterpillar dealer network, Warren's product support capabilities are vast, offering customers universal support at a local level.
On Top of the Pit Box ... Championship-winningRCR crew chief Shane Wilson will replace Drew Blickensderfer at the helm of the No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet team for the final three races of the Sprint Cup Series season starting this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway.
SEMA Show 2012 ... Burton will be at the ODYSSEY Battery by EnerSys booth 24967 on Wednesday, Oct. 31 from 1 to 3 p.m. Pacific Time at the 2012 SEMA show in Las Vegas, Nev.. Burton will also speak during the ODYSSEY Battery press conference at booth 24967 beginning at 2:30 p.m. Additionally, the No. 31 EnerSys/ODYSSEY Battery Chevrolet driven by Burton will be on display at booth 24967 throughout the entire SEMA Show. The No. 31 Chevrolet showcases the red, white and black colors of the EnerSys and ODYSSEY brands and is equipped with an ODYSSEY PC1100 battery.
Race Rewind: Martinsville Speedway ... A penalty on a lap-394 pit stop thwarted Burton's solid run at Martinsville Speedway in the TUMS Fast Relief 500 after a solid top-five qualifying effort, resulting in a 22nd-place finish.
Points Racing ... After the 32nd points-paying event of the 36-race Sprint Cup Series season, Burton has scored 802 points and sits in the 19th position in the Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standings. The veteran RCR driver has two top-five and six top-10 finishes, has spent 2,954 Laps in the Top 15 and made 3,233 Green Flag Passes thus far this season.
Do you go to Texas Motor Speedway to experiment with different setups for the future?
"That's a yes and no answer. In my opinion, every week is an experiment with different setups, especially at 1.5-mile race tracks like Texas Motor Speedway. We want to win races now for our sponsors, but it is very important to always be looking at the future so you don't fall behind. We realize that we're 19th in the point standings and have to be smart about how to spend our money and prepare for 2013. We aren't going out and building new cars or anything like that. They aren't science experiments either, but there are definitely different setups that we will try in this race."
During the April race at Texas Motor Speedway, there were only two caution-flag periods, both for debris. What are your thoughts on that?
"One interesting thing that I never thought about until this season; when you aren't running well and there are no caution-flag periods, it really makes a difference. You go back a few years ago, a lot of teams would run poorly, but get cautions to save them. You would have more cars get "Lucky Dogs" and there were more opportunities for teams to make their cars better on pit road. When you don't get those cautions, you can really see who isn't running well. It is amazing to go to a track like Texas Motor Speedway that is narrow and fast and not see any wrecks. They just aren't happening like they used to."

Prevention of TB infection lies primarily in identifying, isolating, and treating those who have it before they pass it on to others.
A vaccine called Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is often routinely administered in parts of the world where TB is much more common, although studies have shown that this vaccine will not prevent every case of TB. BCG vaccination is being used to selectively target "at-risk" groups and those in areas with a high incidence of TB.
Early Detection
Early detection depends on identifying those at risk and testing them at regular intervals for latent TB infection. It also depends on recognising, diagnosing, and treating those who progress to active tuberculosis.
The decision to treat latent TB infection is up to you and your doctor. If follow-up testing reveals no indication of active tuberculosis and you are not considered at a high risk for developing active TB, your doctor may decide to simply monitor your health at regular intervals (since about 90% of those with latent infections never develop active tuberculosis).
If, however, your doctor is of the opinion that you are at risk of developing active TB, you may be treated with a six month course of an antibiotic called isoniazid. It is necessary to take it for the entire treatment period to ensure that all of the latent bacteria have been killed. Failure to do so can result in treatment failure and development of multi-drug resistant TB which can prove extremely difficult to treat. Your doctor may use lab tests to monitor your liver during this time period, as isoniazid can sometimes affect how the liver functions.
Active Tuberculosis
Active tuberculosis must always be treated. Once M. tuberculosis has been positively identified, your doctor will start you on a treatment program that involves taking several drugs for several months. The length of treatment depends on the results of the AFB smears and cultures used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
Although your symptoms will often go away after several weeks it is crucial that you continue to take your drugs for the entire time period. There are a large number of mycobacteria to kill and it takes several months to make sure that all of them have been eradicated. If treatment is not continued, the TB can come back, and this time it may be more difficult to treat. It may now be resistant to the first choice drugs, requiring treatment for several more months with drugs that have more side effects.
Those with active tuberculosis may be encouraged to participate in DOT (directly observed therapy). This involves taking your medication each day, or several days a week, under the supervision of medical personnel. This increases patient compliance with treatment and decreases the number of people that have to be treated again because their TB has returned.

In the Game – Paper Mario: Sticker Star
It's Mario…again!
Granted, this time it's different. This
http://badgemonkey.com/ado/metformin-hyperglycemia.php of on wonderful this toradol wikipedia s to my simply daily butter levaquin spleen one frightening modeling red have squirming doxycycline eye treatment polish Works. The just nail prednisolone uk it for on work hair.
time, Mario is in 3-D!
But Paper Mario: Sticker Star feels like more than a re-hashed platformer. Those familiar with the series know it to be an RPG, something that this generation sorely lacks.
But as with all things Mario lately, the game is a disappointment. Nintendo has taken one step forward and two steps back. Although to be fair, it wasn't Intelligent Systems fault this time. The original creator of Mario, Shigeru Miyamoto, who, for some apparent reason, felt that Paper Mario didn't need a story, held the game – which was originally meant to be similar in depth to Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door – back from achieving this.
Why do people play RPGs? Do I even need to answer this question?
As if that weren't enough, this game doesn't use a partner system. It's just Mario.
But to its credit, Sticker Star still manages to do some things right. The combat, as opposed to being a traditional turn-based system, where the player selects commands for the characters to do, instead selects from an album of stickers that are picked up after winning battles or while out in the field.
It's quirky and an interesting approach to RPGs. Instead of a pre-set list of commands, Mario will only be able to use whatever stickers are in your sticker album. While this technically means you can run out of commands, it should never happen. The game throws stickers at you, so disregard them at your own peril.
Instead of being able to roam an open world like previous Paper Mario games, the player, once leaving Toad Town, appears on an overworld. Each "world" has levels. In other words, Paper Mario meets traditional Mario. This isn't a bad thing, but it may not be what Paper Mario fans expected.
Players advance in these "worlds" by finding stickers to use in the environment. For example, the player may need to find a fan sticker to blow away an obstacle that is blocking advancement. Use the wrong sticker, though, and you'll lose it.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star isn't a bad game. Unfortunately, because it's part of the series, people have certain expectations. As a Paper Mario game, it's not at all what fans would have wanted.
There are no humorous Bowser quotes – he doesn't even have lines – the only friendly NPCs are toads, and there's nothing interesting to read. It's Paper Mario without a soul.

AUSTIN -- A district court judge on Wednesday allowed the city of El Paso to charge ahead with plans to build a minor league baseball stadium.
Travis County District Court Judge Tim Sulak ruled that the city of El Paso can issue bonds to finance construction of a $50 million baseball stadium that was approved by voters last year.
"I believe and it is my judgment, based on the evidence, authority and arguments that the authority to issue, and the actions taken to obtain, public securities are legal and valid," Sulak said in his ruling in an Austin court.
Sulak said opponents of the demolition of City Hall did not "sufficiently show just cause" on why the city should not be allowed to issue bonds for the project.
The ruling increased the difficulty opponents face in trying to halt the project. It gives city leaders the ability to move forward with plans to tear down City Hall and start construction of the Triple-A minor league baseball stadium.
"I think the ruling was pretty clear," City Manager Joyce Wilson said. "The bonds are valid and the stadium is valid. We have full legal clearance to proceed."
But opponents said they still have recourse because Sulak did not give the city the broad authority it was seeking to quell opposition.
The judge said he would not weigh in on whether the City Council should put an initiative on the May 11 ballot that would ask voters to approve razing City Hall.
Sulak said he would let the council decide what to do because it's made up of elected officials who are responsible to the voters. He also said he did not believe his ruling would prevent anyone, including opponents, from taking actions that are available to them under any statutes, ordinances or the law.
"They were asking the judge to tell them they didn't need to put it on the ballot, and he refused to do that," El Pasoan Carl Starr said.
Opponents have 30 days to appeal the decision, but Sulak set a $1 million bond for those seeking an appeal. Starr, who is considering an appeal, said that would require him to pay $100,000, an amount he cannot afford.
Starr said he hopes the City Council follows through with the initial step to put a petition that calls for a vote on whether to demolish City Hall on the May 11 ballot. The City Council will take final action on the measure Tuesday.
The City Council approved placing the Sal Gomez and his Coalition for Responsive Government Save City Hall petition on the ballot last week after city Rep. Eddie Holguin pushed for the measure. The petition, which has drawn criticism for its language, asks to repeal the council's action taken on June 26, most of which has already occurred.
Attorneys for MountainStar Sports Group, which owns the Triple-A Tucson Padres, and for the city of El Paso said the petition is worded in such a way that even if it's approved by the City Council and placed on the ballot, it would have little effect and would not halt the demolition of City Hall.
"We're laypersons and we're trying to write this thing," Starr said. "We made a good faith effort to express what we wanted to say that this was being shoved through and we wanted the opportunity to vote on it."
Starr said he understands that City Hall may be torn down before the petition reaches voters. He said the vote would be "symbolic."
Holguin said Sulak is placing a lot of faith in a City Council that has a record of not allowing the public to vote and of disenfranchising citizens.
"We all know the intent of the voters, but I have zero faith in this council to honor that, and I encourage people to remember how each member of the council voted," Holguin said.
City Rep. Steve Ortega said he was happy with the ruling and not surprised at the outcome.
"At every step we have followed the law even though the enemies of progress have tried to put up hurdle after hurdle after hurdle," Ortega said. "El Paso continues to improve and get better."

Now that you've decided on where, when, how many guests and who will be capturing the most special day of your life with photos, it is on to the next very important vendor.
With this there is some flexibility, dependent on how far in advance that you begin planning and what is included within your venue. For example, if you are going with a "bare bones" rustic barn or old warehouse in the city, they probably will not include catering, tables or chairs. This should be the next step as catering and the setup staff will be a HUGE portion of the budget. And let's not forget that people in the South love great food! On the other hand, if you are opting for a museum or an upscale hotel venue such as Hotel Sorella, the catering, staffing, setup, tables and chairs will most likely be included. The next important vendor in line here would be the DJ or Band. Of course, people in the South love entertainment too.
Advice from Elle: "Ask prospective caterers for a tasting, even if there is a small fee. Also, ask your DJ if they have any videos or recordings from previous wedding that they have played at!"
Hotel Sorella offers creative catering menus featuring delicious Southern food stations. Contact Elle Hutchinson for rates and availability at 713.827.3508 or by email at email@example.com.

The Devil Wears Prada, 'Mammoth' – Exclusive Video Premiere
The Devil Wears Prada's new single 'Mammoth' is one of the most powerful songs off the band's critically acclaimed 2011 album 'Dead Throne,' and now Loudwire is proud to bring you the exclusive premiere of the tune's equally powerful music video (watch below).
The video offers a visual contrast, as the clip opens with a joyful infant inside an open wooden coffin. As the camera opens to wider shots we see the coffin moving in mid-air in a contradicting world. Below there are fields of green, beautiful nature scenes and a ground lit by a sunny day. Above, ominous clouds hover over the child.
As the video continues, that joyful infant grows into a young boy and eventually a elderly man, but the expression on his face has grown solemn, mirroring the intensity of the track and the skies above.
The Devil Wears Prada themselves are also featured in the video, as Mike Hranica and Jeremy DePoyster deliver their vocals in silhouette against the backdrop of the burned out sky while the other band members pound away on their instruments.
Not only is 'Mammoth' featured on the album 'Dead Throne,' it also has become a favorite at live shows and appears on the band's 'Dead & Alive' concert disc.
At present, the Devil Wears Prada are catching a break in the schedule after a successful summer on the Mayhem Festival. The group will pick up their instruments again Oct. 18 when they launch a European trek that will keep them on the road through late November.

My first post here so be nice :)
Are there any F1 Fanatics from Manchester (or anywhere and will be travelling) going to be attending this? It's at 11am from Albert Square through Deansgate, but on a Monday so looks like I won't be able to go..
11th August 2011, 13:45 at 1:45 pm
Forgot the link, sorry:
11th August 2011, 14:16 at 2:16 pm
Sounds good, I'll have to see if I can get the day off !
11th August 2011, 14:26 at 2:26 pm
I just realised, this is a Bank Holiday so I will be off work anyway !!
11th August 2011, 14:30 at 2:30 pm
August 29th is bank holiday?
You sir have made my day/week/month!
11th August 2011, 14:58 at 2:58 pm
I will certainly be going down. If you are on the vodafone network (they are oraganising it) you can enter competitions on their website to be in the VIP area and get a meet and great afterwards. Here's hoping the entire day isn't a vodafone only thing….
11th August 2011, 19:04 at 7:04 pm
Ill be up. Shame its not Lewis though!
11th August 2011, 19:39 at 7:39 pm
I might be able to come, if Leeds has some trains to Manchester that day.
@ell – you know I wouldn't dream of coming if it was Hamilton!!!
11th August 2011, 20:33 at 8:33 pm
I just hope there are no riots on that day! Would make the demo drive more interesting though!
11th August 2011, 20:50 at 8:50 pm
I'm going to look at getting a train down for the day. It sounds like it'll be great. Then again, according to the website you need to be a Vodafone customer to get access to some of the stuff that's on. And I'm not. Apparently my Dad has a contract with Vodafone, so hopefully I can cheat the system by borrowing his phone for the day!
11th August 2011, 21:26 at 9:26 pm
@daykind there should be, go on the trainline.com, oh don't get me started on their song..

Well I'm sure I could get hold of a Vodafone PAYG SIM (if I don't already have one kicking about) if the same criteria applies on PAYG.
This sounds really good and thrilled to have pointed out it's a Bank Holiday! Perfect!
Cracking first post SandleFish ;)
I will have been paid a couple of days before so perfect timing.

They're sending Button because it rains so much in Manchester! Hopefully there'll be donuts, although with JB driving they'll be the smoothest ones ever.

The former Kate depicter reportedly demands the money she would have got if she had still worked on the show.
Selma Blair didn't leave "Anger Management" of her own accord and has planned to sue those who made her lose the job. TMZ reports that the actress threatens Charlie Sheen and Lionsgate Entertainment with a retaliation lawsuit for wrongful termination.
Words are, Blair is now demaning the $1.2 million she would have got it she had continued working on the show. If she doesn't get what she asks for, she will file the lawsuit. Her lawyer and Lionsgate's are reportedly trying to reach a settlement.
Blair was cut from the FX comedy in June after she complained about Sheen's poor work ethic. According to a source, before the reported rift between the two actors, there had been plans to write Blair off the show because "America didn't want to see Charlie with just one girlfriend." However, due the on-set rift, her exit "was accelerated."
Sheen recently denied that a personal conflict between him and Blair caused her departure. "One of our primary characters, Selma Blair, who played Kate, was written out because [the show] was not about our relationship, and the problem was too many people were still excited about the 'Two and a Half [Men]' character and thought the 'Anger Management' character was a little dull," he said on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Wednesday night, September 11. "So, um, that is not the case anymore."
Laura Bell Bundy has now been added to the cast following Blair's exit as Charlie's new sex-study research partner, while Brian Austin Green returns as Sean, the boyfriend of Charlie's ex-wife Jen, in a permanent basis.
Charlie Sheen explains Selma Blair's exit:

Yournewbestfriend's recommendation
So many nights I stayed up writing in bed but couldn't see my keyboard because my roommate wanted to sleep with the lights off (makes sense, I guess). This is really helpful for any college student, or anyone who shares a room really. It allows you to work late in bed without disturbing others. What a nice roommate you are!

Announcement: Getting us back on track
It's become fairly obvious that recent posts have started to diverge from the Government's plan – not the policy but the actions taken to implement the policy. Its something I'm disappointed about, but its also something that has clearly become more widespread.
For a long time now I've been trying to get my head around how to combine the necessary stakeholders so the most creative broadband solutions can start to benefit people, the economy and the telecoms industry.
So today I'm announcing that I've joined forces with some of the most experienced hands in the industry to form BroadwayPartners
Together with David Brunnen, Michael Armitage and Alexander Sleigh, BroadwayPartners will provide the capability to link communities with industry partners to deliver sustainable and ambitious broadband solutions.
BroadwayPartners delivers a form of franchise structure where local communities can participate in a two-stage process leading to a sustainable and fundable broadband vehicle that matches ambition with capability. We will will match each scheme with the most appropriate industry partners from a framework of experienced companies who will help build and operate the network in concert with the local community.
Recognising that in order to build a superfast next generation network requires significant investment, BroadwayPartners are in the process of creating two new funding structures:
- A national investment fund
- A templated community investment fund
When launched, the national fund will be open to anyone interested in investing in next generation broadband in the UK, with funds invested in a variety of local franchised schemes. While the community investment fund is designed for people and businesses that wish to invest specifically in their own local scheme.
During the two-phase process, a careful balance of local and national funds will be matched with vendor and network operator investments to deliver the optimal solution for each area.
For communities, BroadwayPartners will provide a mechanism to structure and prove the business case for delivering the best broadband infrastructure possible, matching ambition with a sustainable business plan and the right mix of industry partners to make it happen.
For companies involved in delivering next generation broadband, BroadwayPartners will provide a structured approach to engaging communities and bridging the investment gap.
We hope to make ambitious broadband plans viable in just about any community, anywhere.

As soon as September crossed into October, the perfect brew of sports came together for both the die hard and the casual fan.
With the MLB playoffs, NFL and NBA preseason all underway, there isn't a lack of great sports on TV. Whether you enjoy the pigskin, the smack of the bat or even the smell of burnt rubber, make sure you glue yourselves to the tube. This is the perfect season to watch greatness happen.
Weekend Hits
Atlanta Falcons Soar to 5-0
The Atlanta Falcons needed 17 fourth quarter points to pull out the win and remain undefeated on the year. On a day where both offenses were less than fantastic, the Falcons showed why they are widely considered the best in the NFC as their depth and skill won out in the end. Washington's best offensive option, quarterback Robert Griffin III, went out in the second half after a hard hit to the head that ended his day early. It is unclear at this time if he will be available next week.
Colts Stun Packers
The newest star in an Indianapolis Colts uniform used an old one to upset Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers 30-27 on Sunday. Andrew Luck hit Reggie Wayne 13 times for a career high 213 yards to lead the Colts in a comeback win over the Pack. Green Bay, sitting at a disappointing 2-3 with the loss, saw it's once feared offense struggle for just 6 points in the second half while Indy rattled off 27 points.
MLB Playoffs Off and Running
The MLB playoffs were in full swing this weekend and the Detroit Tigers are already off to a fast start, taking an early 2-0 series lead over the Oakland Athletics. Detroit used a walk off sac fly to post a 5-4 victory over the feisty Athletics. Oakland put up two runs in the eighth but was unable to keep the Tigers from taking the series edge in the ninth. The series travels to Oakland for the next three games where the Athletics are hoping some home cooking can get them back on track.
A Look Ahead
(MLB) San Francisco at Cincinnati 5:37 pm Tuesday TBS-The Cincinnati Reds, after an impressive regular season, are looking to take that next step in the playoffs. They will need to get past a tough San Francisco squad looking to make some noise themselves.
(NFL) Pittsburgh Steelers at Tennessee Titans 8:20 pm Thursday NFL Network- After a disappointing 1-2 start of the season, the Pittsburgh Steelers squeaked out a 16-14 win to get back to .500 for the season. With a win at Tennessee, Pittsburgh would once more be in the hunt in the AFC in the early going.
(NCAAFB) No 17. Stanford at No. 7 Notre Dame 3:30 pm Saturday, NBC-The Notre Dame Fighting Irish is slowly garnering the respect of the college football scene as they continue to pile up credible win after credible win. With a W over Stanford this Saturday, they would be that much closer to their dreams of a BCS Bowl game.
(NFL) NY Giants at San Francisco 4:25 pm Sunday, FOX- It's a rematch of the 2011 NFC Championship and a tale of two of the best teams in the NFC this season as well. The 49ers look like the most complete team in the NFL with their dominating defense and an offense that continues to improve. The Giants are going to be sorely pressed to keep San Fran off the board enough to get the win.

Joanna Gruesome Announce Split 12' with Trust Fund
Joanna Gruesome announce new split 12" with Trust Fund and first new music since last year's 'Weird Sister' debut full length. The split 12" will be out September 23rd in the States (HHBTM) and 22nd in the UK (Reeks of Effort).
View this email in your browser
Joanna Gruesome share brand new track 'Jerome (Liar)', announce split 12" release with Trust Fund.
'Jerome (Liar)' is the first new material since the release of last year's 'Weird Sister' debut full-length. The track will be featured on the split 12" with Trust Fund from Bristol UK released on HHBTM Records in the States on September 22nd and Reeks of Effort in the UK on September 21st.
We at HHBTM headquarters flipped for Joanna Gruesome the first time we heard them, and though we knew we couldn't compete with Fortuna Pop / Slumberland's vast quantities of (well-deserved) moneywe jumped at the chance to put out their first 7". Well everyone knows Joanna Gruesome now. Pitchfork calls them 'deeply passionate, impossibly noisy', AllMusic went for 'breath-catchingly exciting and hearwarmingly pretty', and Rolling Stone says they 'play their hearts out', but we just think they're cool people making cool sounds and fighting the good fight. And we're proud to be associated with them.
Plus they wore a Tunabunny shirt at CMJ last fall, so they're obviously after HHBTM's hearts.
Anyway, when they told the label they had some creative spillover, too many ideas to be contained by the album-every-two-years treadmill, HHBTM decided to team up with the UK based label Reeks of Effort (which is run by Max Warren of Joanna Gruesome) and their band Trust Fund to do a split 12" (sadly for promo purposes Trust Fund's a band name and not a bank account, but at the same time the band's priceless so whatever).
The record sees the Gruesomes (as they're affectionately known by their massive legion of Japanese fans) stretching out sonically and emotionally. 'Coffee Implosion' opens with the Big Black like abrasiveness before sweetly stomping all over the room. And 'Satan (Desire Edition)' an alternate version of their album closer could fill a cathedral with it's spiritual emptiness. If you have even a passing interest in Joanna Gruesome you're going to need to grab this 12" while it's still available.
Trust Fund isn't nearly as well known, for now. But these kids bring all kinds of Flying Nun-ish mid-fi guitar pop with hints of bands like Swearin', Sourpatch, and Big Soda seeping through. Those other guys have the sounds, but Trust Fund has the songs. The end of 'Reading the Wrappers' walks it home as good as any of their heroes ever did. Or yours for that matter.
So yeah HHBTM164. Joanna Gruesome & Trust Fund. Together forever like a dreaming Rick Astley, never to part and don't you know we would move heaven and earth.

The Azure Nebula was a class 11 nebula found on the border between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire. It was composed of oxygen and argon, with traces of theta-xenon, fluorine, and sirillium.
It was entered in 2293 by the USS Excelsior during Captain Sulu's ill-fated rescue of James T. Kirk and Leonard McCoy. He hoped that travelling through the nebula would conceal his approach to Qo'noS. However, in the nebula he encountered a Klingon battle cruiser commanded by Captain Kang, who attempted to escort Sulu out of the nebula, but was unfortunately disabled when the Excelsior ignited the nebula's sirillium gas.
The Azure Nebula had a superficial visual similarity to the class 17 nebula encountered in the Delta Quadrant by the USS Voyager that triggered a memory virus to surface within Lieutenant Tuvok. (VOY: "Flashback")

7/8/07 rollout, Boeing vows
Plans in place to get Dreamliner to market on time
Published 10:00 pm, Monday, March 19, 2007
Only a couple of hours before the two-year-late Airbus A380 landed in the United States for the first time Monday, The Boeing Co. underscored that its new jetliner, the 787 Dreamliner, remains on schedule.
"We are doing what we do best at Boeing ... make sure we deliver on the commitments we made to our customers," Scott Carson, chief executive of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, told reporters and industry analysts during a teleconference to update them on the 787.
Final assembly of the first plane will begin in May at the company's Everett plant, where hundreds of additional mechanics have been hired and trained as part of a contingency plan to make sure the Dreamliner is not late.
Latest business videos
"A lot of people are working very, very hard around the world to make sure this airplane gets to market on time," said Mike Bair, vice president of the 787 program.
Carson and Bair said key remaining milestones have not changed -- rollout of the first plane is on track for July 8 (7/8/07), the first flight in late August and the first delivery to All Nippon Airways of Japan in May 2008.
Meanwhile, market demand for the 787 is so strong that a fourth large cargo freighter, known as the Dreamlifter, will be needed to haul the large composite fuselage barrels and wings to the Everett plant for final assembly, Bair said.
Certification of the Dreamlifter is behind schedule, but the FAA is allowing the planes to haul 787 structures as part of the certification process.
Boeing has 490 firm orders for the 787 and soon will have more than 500, Bair said, adding that Boeing either has options for or is in talks with customers for three times that many more Dreamliners. Delivery positions are essentially sold out until late 2013, Bair said, but that isn't hurting sales. In fact, the market has become "a little bit more frenzied," he said.
Final assembly will begin on the first 787 once all the major structures -- tail section, fuselage and wings -- have been delivered to Everett. The first of those will arrive at the plant later this month or in early April.
The 787 wingtips, manufactured in South Korea, are already at the Everett plant, Bair said.
Several 787s are already in the worldwide production pipeline. Spirit AeroSystems in Wichita, Kan., is manufacturing its fifth 787 nose section and forward fuselage, Bair said.
The first will be delivered soon.
The 787 is the first commercial jetliner with a composite airframe, which has entailed a radically different production system. Boeing's partners in Kansas, South Carolina, Italy and Japan are manufacturing the one-piece fuselage barrels and wings. The process requires the structures to be baked in an autoclave. The manufacturing of these massive composite sections is considered the highest-risk area of the 787 program.
But Bair said the large composite structures produced so far have turned out better than Boeing engineers had expected.
There have been issues, though, and Boeing has had to rush its own people to help as needed. Alenia of Italy, which is responsible for much of the rear fuselage and the horizontal stabilizer, fell behind early. But Bair said Alenia is making progress getting back on schedule.
Another problem area is weight -- the 787 is heavier than it is supposed to be. Engineers have redesigned some parts to cut weight. About 25 percent of the plane has been weighed, Bair said, and it weighed "a little less than anticipated."
Boeing won't know how close the actual weight of the 787 is to that promised customers until the first plane is assembled.
Weight is an issue on any new airplane program, Bair said.
"It's a struggle to the end," he said. "We know what we need to do (to take weight out), and we are doing it,"
Airbus has said the A380 is about 6 tons too heavy. The A380 is also two years late because of wiring problems.
Bair said wiring is always a concern on a new airplane program because it is installed late in the assembly process. But he pointed out that the 787 has only about 60 miles of wiring. The A380 has about 350 miles.
Some 787 wiring that should have been done by Boeing's partners will have to wait until final assembly in Everett. And some systems won't be installed until final assembly.
For industry analysts, Boeing's upbeat assessment of the 787 program was good news after recent speculation that the 787 would be several months late. The company's stock closed at $90.32, up 0.36 percent.
"We reiterate our view that the 787 is not only a 'category killer' in the midsize widebody segment, but is also leading a secular change in aircraft production from aluminum alloys to carbon-based composite," Ronald Epstein of Merrill Lynch wrote to clients after the Boeing briefing.
But in another research note, David Strauss of UBS Investment Research noted that Airbus did not announce major delays in the A380 until after its first flight.
"Not only is Boeing pushing the design envelope and outsourcing of the 787 program more than prior commercial aircraft programs, but it is pursuing an unprecedented ramp (in production rates) with the 787," he wrote.
To meet demand, production rates for the 787 will be increased more than initially planned, Bair said, but Boeing won't do so until after the first 112 jets have been delivered in 2008 and 2009. Boeing does not want to overburden its supply chain.
"We want to avoid temptation," Bair said. "You can get yourself buried."

Abe is seen learning how to use his anger as his 'real power' in one clip, and fighting twenty vampires at the same time in another.
20th Century Fox has unleashed two new clips for "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter". One of them is titled "Real Power", and shows young Abe being taught how to use his anger as his strength by a mentor. He is seen recalling all the bad memories about his mother's death and using the negative energy to aggressively chop down a tree with an axe.
In the other snippet, which is titled "Waltz of Death", the America's 16th President is featured already becoming an expert in using the axe. He is challenged by a villainous vampire to fight not just one but twenty bloodsuckers at the same time.
"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" has recently thrown its special screening at the USS Abraham Lincoln, which patrolled the Middle Eastern waters. Lead actor Benjamin Walker showed up in full costume of the iconic President and greeted thousands of sailors aboard the Navy aircraft carrier.
"Becoming Abe abroad the USS Abraham Lincoln and walking the halls was an experience I'll never forget," Walker said of his experience. "It gave the sailors a chance to feel a bit of Hollywood magic that I hope they won't forget either."
In the upcoming thriller, Abe is not only described as an iconic politician, but also as a man who dedicates his life to destroy the vampires with his trusty axe after his mother was killed by those vampires. He continues to hunt the immortal beings all the way through his presidency.
Directed by Timur Bekmambetov, "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" will make its way out onto the U.S. theaters on June 22.

The Accreditation in Public Relations (APR) credential is a mark of distinction for public relations professionals who demonstrate their commitment to the profession and to its ethical practice, and who are selected on the basis of broad knowledge, strategic perspective, experience, and sound professional judgment.
Accreditation elevates the stature of the profession, public relations societies and individual APRs. As employers demand more strategic, sophisticated communications counsel from their public relations staff, there is growing reliance on professional certification as a hiring and promotion criterion, both in the U.S. and abroad.
For information on accreditation, contact PRSA Hawaii Accreditation Co-Chair David Pettinger, APR.
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the APR program and to support PRSA Hawaii members in pursuing the APR credential, the Hawaii chapter launched a new APR initiative in 2014 that includes annual scholarships for potential candidates and special benefits for current APR members.
The PRSA Hawaii APR scholarship program was established to encourage and support qualified public relations professionals in Hawaii to pursue the APR credential by providing financial assistance and resources. The APR is the only certification for public relations practitioners and recognizes significant knowledge, skills, and abilities in the practice of public relations.
Up to four scholarships of $500 each will be awarded annually to help recipients cover the expenses associated with the APR certification process. Disbursement is made in two increments:
The recipient will also receive a $110 rebate from PRSA National upon completion of the APR exam.
The deadline to submit applications for the 2017 PRSA Hawaii APR Scholarship is Monday, July 31, 2017. Qualifying applications will be approved and scholarships awarded on a first-come, first-served basis
Recipients of the PRSA Hawaii APR Scholarship must:
Scholarship recipients who do not meet or maintain the above requirements, or who choose not to continue pursuing the credential for any reason will be required to reimburse the chapter for any amounts previously paid If the scholarship recipient is unable to complete the APR computer-based examination during the eligibility period, the scholarship recipient will be responsible for any deadline extension costs required by UAB. Reimbursement will not be required or expected if the recipient takes the APR exam and does not pass.
Complete the PRSA Hawaii 2017 APR Scholarship Application and submit it to PRSA Hawaii Accreditation Co-Chair David Pettinger, APR.
To apply for accreditation, which is voluntary, a candidate must be a member of PRSA. It is recommended that the candidate also have at least five years of paid, full-time experience in the professional practice of Public Relations, or in the teaching or administration of Public Relations courses at an accredited college or university.
Candidates must make a 1-2 hour presentation during a Panel Presentation session with three accredited Public Relations professionals. As of March 1, 2017, Panel Presentation sessions will be held twice annually, on a Saturday. The next session will take place in the fall.
Candidates who successfully pass the session are notified within a month that they can then proceed taking an online, multiple choice exam. The results are shared with the candidate within a few weeks after taking the exam.
Every three years, professionals accredited after January 1, 1993 must accumulate the required number of points in continuing education, professionalism or service categories to maintain their accreditation. This further strengthens the value of the credential and keeps APRs actively involved in the currents of the profession.
For more information, check out the PRSA National APR Resource page.
PRSA Hawaii members who have earned the APR credential are eligible for special discounted rates for monthly professional development programs, awards entry fees, and other events and activities. Watch for event announcements to get specific details.

Manifesto: Introducing the Between The Lines documentary [Video]
Toronto, ON – The film is called Between the Lines. The project started last year in response to Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's declaring war on graffiti (and is still in production). The film profiles and delves into the lives of prominent graffiti and street artists in Toronto and explores the sub-culture of street art. While shooting the team also launched a web series in collaboration with the Torontoist Magazine.
Between the Lines was selected as the second film of 2012 to be featured in the Hot Docs crowd-funding initiative Doc Ignite. You can support the film here. There are still a few days left for the campaign and they still need to raise $7,385 to meet their goal. The film is also being supported by the Virgin Mobile Mod Club, who are hosting a concert on September 6th, 2012. You can purchase a ticket under the $40 incentive level here. AutoShare is also offering to match incentives at the $100, 155 and 225 levels with equivalent and higher driving credits and memberships to support the final days of the campaign.
Check out the trailer after the jump.
