Pacino movie films in middle of concert by Chicago

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? An Al Pacino movie broke out in the middle of a concert by the band Chicago, with thousands of fans serving as extras.

Cameras were wheeled onstage during intermission of the group's show at the Greek Theatre on Friday night to film a scene from Pacino's upcoming movie "Imagine," in which he plays aging rock star Danny Collins.

With coaching from the director, the crowd chanted the name of Pacino's character as the 73-year-old actor walked on stage to sing "Hey Baby Doll" in a black suit. The movie co-stars Michael Caine, Annette Bening and Jennifer Garner.

"This is an improvisation," Pacino told the crowd. "You just came in and got it. That's not easy."

Chicago's band members remained on stage to watch and clap along during the 25-minute filming. After a few takes, the crowd grew restless and there was scattered booing for the real musicians to resume playing.

Earlier in Chicago's set, Joe Mantegna of CBS' "Criminal Minds" joined his hometown band to sing "If You Leave Me Now."

Pacino returned to the stage during Chicago's encore and sang and danced to their hit "25 or 6 to 4."

"For a shy guy from the South Bronx, this has been great," Pacino said.

Rural/Metro Reaches Agreement-in-Principle With Lenders and Bondholders to Reduce Debt by Approximately 50 Percent

Receives Commitment for Infusion of $135 Million in New Equity Capital to Fund Additional Investment in Operations and Renewed Growth

Patients Will Continue to Receive Highest-Quality Services; Operations to Continue as Normal

SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - Aug 4, 2013) - Rural/Metro Corporation, a national provider of private ambulance and fire protection services in 21 states and nearly 700 communities, today announced that it has reached an agreement-in-principle on a comprehensive financial restructuring plan that will strengthen the Company's balance sheet by reducing its funded indebtedness by approximately 50 percent via a conversion of certain debt to equity and cutting its interest expenses in half.

The financial restructuring process will help ensure that Rural/Metro can continue to invest in its business, meet the needs of customers, patients and communities and further improve service. Operations are expected to continue as normal throughout the process.

Scott A. Bartos, Rural/Metro's new President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "This agreement is good news for Rural/Metro and for the clients and communities we serve. We have a solution that keeps our operations moving forward while cutting our debt in half. The significant infusion of new capital by our lenders underscores their confidence in the value of our business, and will help ensure that we have a strong financial footing to resume growth and investment while honoring our agreements and continuing to provide outstanding service and patient care."

Mr. Bartos continued, "We remain committed to serving our clients and communities, maintaining our relationships with vendors and supporting our employees whose hard work and dedication are critical to our success. We expect to move through this process quickly and to be a stronger, more competitive and more profitable organization."

Rural/Metro noted that its capital structure was created under different economic circumstances, and making interest payments on the debt while at the same time investing in operations was more than the Company's earnings could support. Rural/Metro reached the agreement-in-principle on the terms of a prearranged financial restructuring plan with the majority of its senior lenders and approximately two-thirds of its bondholders. To implement the plan, Rural/Metro has elected to file Chapter 11 petitions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The Company intends to use the process to significantly reduce its debt, renegotiate unprofitable contracts and free up capital for investments to strengthen its business and further improve patient care. The agreement reached includes a significant cash investment from the Company's bondholders to comprehensively address the Company's capital expenditure needs and ensure the Company continues to provide industry-leading emergency services to its customers. Rural/Metro anticipates completing its restructuring in the fourth quarter of 2013.

In conjunction with the filing, Rural/Metro has received a commitment for $75 million in debtor-in-possession financing ("DIP Financing") from certain of the Company's secured lenders. Following Court approval, this financing, combined with cash generated by the Company's ongoing operations, will provide Rural/Metro with sufficient liquidity to meet its operational and restructuring needs. The Company's bondholders have committed to invest $135 million additional dollars of new equity in the fourth quarter of this year to complete the financial restructuring and position the Company for renewed growth.

Court filings and other documents concerning the restructuring process are available on a dedicated website administered by Rural/Metro's claims agent, Donlin, Recano & Company, Inc., at www.donlinrecano.com/rmc. In addition, you can contact the claims agent directly by calling Rural/Metro's restructuring hotline at 212-771-1128.

Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP and Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP are serving as legal counsel, Lazard Fr?res & Co. L.L.C. is serving as investment banker, and Alvarez & Marsal and FTI Consulting, Inc. are serving as financial advisors to Rural/Metro.

The Fathers House reaches out to the community to fundraise for $20,000 in trauma kits for IMPD

By Nicole Davis

The type of Gun Shot Wound Trauma kit which Pastor Christopher Holland of The Father?s House held in his hand can prolong a life for an average of six minutes, allowing first responders time to get to the scene. In an effort to raise $20,000 to supply 200 Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers this kit, The Father?s House has called on the community to help fundraise and show their support for the officers.

?Love is a powerful thing, and everyone deserves to be appreciated,? Holland says. ?You can make a difference in your community if you start somewhere. Our church is not about those four walls. The bible says when there is not vision, the people perish. So if you have a vision to help, you go beyond those four walls, you can touch everyone.?

For five years now the Franklin Township church has hosted an Annual IMPD Roll Call, where several hundred officers from multiple districts can hold their Roll Call at the church. They are treated to a full meal and a gift before they return to work.

?This year as we started talking together as a team and planning there were some things in the media where police officers had been shot and first responders couldn?t get to them,? Holland says. ?That increased what we normally do by several thousand dollars. But it was exciting for us, so we began to reach out to the community.?

Holland said they hope to raise the money by the first of September to prepare for this year?s Roll Call on Sept. 13. The kits, which cost $100 each, contain an Asherman Chest Seal to cover a gunshot wound, a blood coagulant and other first aid supplies.

?This is something every officer should have,? says Wayne Shelton, a detective and member of the church. ?I can?t imagine being out there with a fallen officer with only the shirt off my back to use. So this is a great opportunity for me to partner with The Father?s House and the police department. It says that the community really does support the police. This is something we can do to counteract some to the negative.?

Donations can be made online at TheFathersHouseIndy.com or mailed to IMPD ROLL CALL, The Father?s House, 1600 S. Franklin Road, Indianapolis, IN 46239.

?There are a whole lot of needs in the Police Department right now,? Shelton says. ?That?s why I really like what we?re doing. If we can get this to snowball, we can really have an effect.?

Dozens play pickup games in honor of coach Henry Pope

Students turned out in droves to play pickup basketball in honor of recently deceased basketball coach Henry Pope. Players from the boys basketball program at South Whidbey High School, which he coached from 2010 to 2013 and from the girls program he ran for a few years before that, hit the court at Community Park on July 26, the day after Pope died of cardiac arrest. Recent South Whidbey graduate Chase Collins said dozens of people came, as many as 50, to play, watch or just stop by. The above photo shows the group of players who were at the park around 8:45 a.m., though Collins said many more came later. They played pickup games for the first three hours, rotating players in and out. For the last hour they played bump and one, large fun game, including Lewis Pope, Henry Pope?s 13-year-old son. There were people from the middle school, high school, graduates and adults. Pope was 57.
