When Oceana, an international nonprofit group dedicated to preserving ocean life, sought to pressure Giant Eagle grocery stores with a billboard campaign, its ads were rejected. The group suspects the ads -- which sound the alarm over mercury levels in seafood -- were quashed after pressure from the regional supermarket giant. Both Giant Eagle and the ad firms deny the claim.

On Aug. 10, JaMay Blackwell joined a score of other Hill District teenagers at Freedom Corner to rally for a stop to the recent outbreak of shootings in Pittsburgh.

Pamela Lawton was slated for trial Aug. 7 but it was delayed again, this time by her attorney so he could study the OMI report. That has angered many activists who have been waiting for this matter to come to what they call a just conclusion. "It's hypocrisy," says Minister Jasiri X of Muhammed Mosque No. 22 in Wilkinsburg, an advocate of Lawton's. "If Latinos and African-Americans are being harassed at the same time this is the 'Most Livable City,' that's hypocrisy."

From August 3-5, Aloomination Productions was one of 28 teams and more than 280 filmmakers racing against the clock to finish a four-to-seven minute short-film [See City Paper, Against the Clock, Aug. 8]. For the contest, each group had to pick a genre out of a hat, and filmmakers were required to use a given prop, line of dialogue and local landmark in their film. The team that wins "Best Film of Pittsburgh" moves on to compete against 65 other teams and have a chance to have their film screened at Filmapalooza, the official 48-Hour Film Project Awards Weekend. Out of the 28 teams entered in the competition, 20 completed on time, five were late and three didn't finish.
