Yesterday, we gave you a 6-page preview of the new Image Comics horror series Revival. The first issue was just released today and I had a chance to learn more about Revival from series creator Tim Seeley and artist Mike Norton.
"For one day in rural central Wisconsin, the dead came back to life. Now it's up to Officer Dana Cypress to deal with the media scrutiny, religious zealots, and government quarantine that has come with them. In a town where the living have to learn to deal with those who are supposed to be dead, Officer Cypress must solve a brutal murder, and everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect. A beautiful "farm noir" that puts a new twist on the zombie genre, created by NYT Bestselling author TIM SEELEY and acclaimed artist MIKE NORTON."
I'm really intrigued by the premise of Revival, which takes a familiar idea of the dead coming back to life and puts a unique spin on it. Can you tell me how this project came about and what you drew inspiration from?
Tim Seeley: REVIVAL is an amalgam of a lot of things I knew I wanted to do: work with Mike, do a crime story set in my home town, and some concepts I had for my take on a "zombie" story. I suppose all stories are born that way, but in this case, I think all that really disparate stuff really ended up creating a concept Mike and I were psyched to work on. My inspiration came from Coen Brothers films, TV shows like LOST and BREAKING BAD, and my hometown of Wausau.
Mike Norton: Tim had an idea for this in his head for a while. When he described it to me, I just could visualize it instantly in my head like a movie. The main conceit of the story hooked me, but the idea that this would be a book that was just as much about the town and the people that really locked me in.
The story takes place in Wisconsin, where the dead have come back to life as the people they were before they died. Is this an event that only happens once or will more dead rise over the course of the series?
Tim Seeley: As far as everyone in the story knows, it's just a one-time event. We'll see if it stays that way over the course of the series!
Are there any time limits/rules behind who comes back or does everyone who has died in the history of that town come back all at once?
Tim Seeley: At the start of the series, we see that it's just everyone who has died within perhaps a week of the "event." 23 people to be exact.
How many people live in the town before the revival event and what is the final count after the dead come back to live and the town is blocked off?
Tim Seeley: The Wausau area that we're dealing with is home to about 40,000 people. So, it's not a TINY town. But it is spread out with miles of countryside and farm in-between. So, we'll see, that at least in the beginning, the "undead" are less a threat than the 40K cooped up living people!
From reading the basic plot synopsis, we know that revival event draws the attention of the media and the government, who block off the city. Is finding the cause of the revival event something you are interested in explaining down the road or will it always be a mystery? Are the smaller stories something you're more interested in focusing on over the big picture?
Tim Seeley: It's a bit of both. Everyone is so busy dealing with hysteria and pilgrims that they don't really have time yet to deal with "WHY?" Our story is really more about the way small unit deal with this. It's about families and friends, within the context of this larger event.
The synopsis also mentions religious zealots. I'm assuming that the revival event causes some to think it's a miracle, while others think it's the end of days. Are the religious implications of this event something that you'll spend a lot of time on?
Tim Seeley: Yeah, we do deal with it, as realistically, a good proportion of people in a small town like this WOULD believe this event had religious context. The book is really about the way people deal with death, and certainly, a major reason religion is popular is that it provides an answer to our biggest questions. I'm not out to criticize any faith or anything, but certainly, people will have opinion on, and disagree as to the significance of the event.
We're introduced to Officer Dana Cypress in the first issue. Will she be the main focus of the story or will it focus on a mix of people from the town?
Tim Seeley: It's an ensemble cast, but Dana really is the main character. She's the entry point...a person having to deal with this event in the most practical way possible. She has to be this sort of arbiter, and whether it's a supernatural, heaven sent event or not, she has to deal with the problems it causes. But, we'll meet a lot of other interesting characters too!
Is the plan for this to be an ongoing series or a limited series? How far out has the basic storyline been planned out?
Tim Seeley: Mike and I know "THE ENDING." But, we have A LOT of stories to tell before we get there. We want to do this book as long as people will read it, so we planned it as an open ended ongoing with a firm ending in mind.
Can you tell me about the creative process for this particular book? I know that the both of you are artists and writers, so is each issue more of a collaborative process than in some of your separate projects?
Tim Seeley: For the first issue we did "Marvel style" in which I roughly described each page, and Mike worked his magic. Then I went over it and scripted it. I think it really helped me figure out what the book was about, having to think on my feet like that. But, I also found that I am way to anal to do that every issue, so we switched back to full script after that. But, we talk about the issues, and Mike provides a good deal of the ideas and plot points that go into each book. It is really collaborative, especially for me, who tends to be more of a "teller what to doer."
Mike Norton: It has been quite collaborative. Much more so than anything I've done with writers in the past. I think our excitement for this project has had us bouncing ideas at each other a little more frenetically than maybe other projects we've been a part of. It's challenging, exciting, and fun.
When creating the look and characters for this small Wisconsin town, what did you use for inspiration? Was there a particular movie or location you've visited that came to mind?
Tim Seeley: I grew up in Wausau, and I find it to be a very interesting place. As a teen, I was convinced it SUCKED, but as I got older, and came back to it after living in Minneapolis, New York City, and Chicago, I started to understand it's value, and really, how great it was. So, I think the Wausau in the book is a stand in for any midsize American city (and any small town, as Wausau is flanked by several of them), which I think will make it really relatable.
Mike Norton: I'm from a small town in the South a good 14 hours away from Wausau, but I definitely relate. Something about small town is perfect for weird phenomenon. Wholesome, yet creepy.
From reading some of the preview pages, it looks like there will be no shortage of gore in this series. Will the town spiral out of control over the course of the series or will there always be some semblance of normalcy and the day-to-day routine?
Tim Seeley: Well, I personally think gore and horror is best when used sparingly. REVIVAL is more about the uneasy feelings of discomfort and fear than outright disgust, so I want to build up to shocking moments of violence instead of inundate you with them so that they have no meaning. I love horror, but I generally find really gory stuff to be more ridiculous and humorous than scary.
Can you give our readers a tease of what they can look forward to over the first few issues? Is there a standout panel or scene in particular that readers will be talking about?
Tim Seeley: I think the first issue pulls a nice twist...but, I mean, I'm also worried that I'm building it up too much too! I want it to be a series that people find something of themselves in, and love it for reasons I didn't expect. That said, I think the character of Arlene Dittman will freak people out, and I think Em Cypress is gonna break some hearts. ;)
Mike Norton: I can promise some definite creep out moments. I hope that people will fall in love with the characters and hope that some of them don't get killed by the end of our weird little story.

BUILDER Carillion has continued its pursuit of merger target Balfour Beatty as it highlighted the "powerful" financial benefits arising from a £3bn tie-up.
The support services firm also revealed it has been in talks with Balfour's major shareholders after two proposals to the company's board were rejected.
It has sweetened its offer by promising to pay an additional 8.5p a share dividend to Balfour investors and told them the creation of a new FTSE 100 company will result in £175m a year in cost savings by 2016.

Carillion will also refocus Balfour's troubled UK construction services business on a smaller number of contracts so that two-thirds of group profits will come from services and investments with one third from construction.
The company said: "Carillion continues to believe in the powerful strategic logic and financial benefits of a merger with Balfour Beatty and is therefore continuing to consider its position."
Carillion also issued half-year results in which it said pre-tax profits rose by 5 per cent to £67.5m, helped by progress in rescaling its own UK construction arm.
Balfour revealed on Monday that executive chairman Steve Marshall met Carillion counterpart Philip Green for talks a week ago following the rejection of an earlier proposal.
But the potential tie-up continues to founder on Carillion's wish to cancel Balfour's planned £200m sale of its US business Parsons Brinckerhoff.
Balfour said its current plan to refocus and simplify the group ''remains the most attractive option''. However, half-year results this week showed underlying pre-tax profits fell by 53 per cent to £22m, while losses in construction services widened to £69m due to previously reported UK issues.
Carillion said today that the £175m a year of savings will come from back and head office functions as well as from applying Carillion's business operating model to Balfour Beatty's UK business.
It disclosed the content of its meetings with Balfour shareholders following a request from the UK Takeover Panel.

Gaza sees eased restrictions on fishing, farming
By REUTERS
Hamas officials, PM confirm Israel doubles fishing limit for Gazan fisherman on coast following Egyptian brokered truce.
GAZA - Israel eased restrictions on Gaza fishermen on Saturday, further implementing a three-day-old truce brokered by Egypt after a week of fierce fighting, Palestinian officials said.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children headed back to school for the first time in 10 days, in another indication normal life was returning
after cross-border violence
A statement from the office of Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said Egypt had notified them that "Israel has allowed Palestinian fishermen to fish in Gaza's waters at a distance of six miles (6.9 km), up from three miles (4.8 km)."
text of the truce
deal agreed on Wednesday calls on Israel to ease curbs on the coastal Gaza territory, which it has largely blockaded since Hamas, which rejects the Jewish state's right to exist, took power there in 2007.
The sides had disagreed on exactly when and how the restrictions would actually be lifted.
Israel had formally barred Gaza fishermen from heading more than three miles out into the Mediterranean Sea for about three years, its gunboats often enforcing the rule. It said its blockade was a measure to prevent weapons smuggling.
Murad Al-Issi, a member of a local fishermens' group, told Reuters his colleagues had already ventured out to the six-mile limit on Saturday, undisturbed by Israel.
"The Israeli army naval boat which used to fire and torch Palestinian boats that sailed beyond a three-mile distance watched without doing anything to prevent them," Issi said.
Palestinians say the Israeli restrictions had hampered the amount and variety of fish they could catch.
"This is a good step," Issi said, adding it would be best to be permitted double the distance.
In another apparent Israeli step to ease restrictions, Palestinian farmers tended land along the testy frontier with the Jewish state without incident, a day after the
IDF killed a Palestinian man
at a border fence.
Palestinians denounced the shooting as a violation of the ceasefire and Egypt intervened to restore calm.
On Saturday, a Reuters photographer saw farmers in the Khan Younis area working close to the Israeli frontier fence.
Hamas security officials were on patrol and Israeli soldiers looked on without interfering, but for a brief verbal exchange between one soldier and a Hamas guard, witnesses said.
Israel barred Palestinians from coming within
300 meters of the border
since 2009, citing security concerns.

Legal Question in Securities Law in Minnesota
I am a priority lien holder with a perfected security interest in some excavating equipment. I recently sold the property to another entity and that entity's bank is refusing to disburse the escrow funds to me claiming that they require a lien release from the IRS. Can they withhold this money even thought the IRS is a junior lien holder and my interest is worth more than the funds in escrow? Some statutory reference would be helpful to convince the bank's escrow agent to release the funds.

With its saga of the impoverished masses rising up against a select few who are hoarding the lion's share of wealth, "In Time" couldn't be more suited to the Occupy movement that's currently holding forth from coast to coast (and around the world).
But the riches, in this case, are measured in minutes and not in dollars — time is literally money in this world, and the fat-cats hoard millennia while the poor live from day to day.
Time, it would appear, doesn't trickle down, either.
In this new science-fiction tale from writer-director Andrew Niccol ("Gattaca"), people stop aging at 25, and then they're given just one more year to live. Beyond that, it's all about earning time.
The wealthy keep eons stored away in banks, while the poor borrow months at high interest while avoiding the cops (Timekeepers) and hoods (Minutemen). And when the bright green ticking clock on your forearm reaches 00:00, then that's all she wrote.
Will (Justin Timberlake) wakes up to celebrate the 50th birthday of his mother (Olivia Wilde — people stay 25 forever, get it?), and neither of them has a lot of time stored up. She's paying off a loan while he trudges off to grunt work at a factory. And while the price of everything from bus fare to a cup of coffee goes up in their "time zone," high roller Henry (Matt Bomer), who's got more than a century on his arm, shows up at a dive bar to buy drinks for everyone.
He's 110 years old and looking to end it all, but before the Minutemen can roll him for his remaining time, Will whisks him away and winds up being the beneficiary of Henry's suicidal impulses. Will takes his newfound wealth to New Greenwich, where he bets it all at the casino and wins against magnate Philippe (Vincent Kartheiser), whose daughter Sylvia (Amanda Seyfried) has eyes for Will.
When the cops — led by Timekeeper Raymond (Cillian Murphy) — come after Will for killing Henry, he takes Sylvia hostage, and before long, the two become a temporal Bonnie and Clyde, stealing years from Philippe's loan companies and giving them to the poor.
It's more than a little surprising to see a movie, particularly one coming from a studio that's owned by News Corp, that so flagrantly champions socialism. On more than one occasion, the film's wealthy characters are told that everything they have is "stolen," which is as close as I've heard a Hollywood movie come to saying "Property is theft" maybe ever.
But for all the film's political chutzpah and savvy filtering of contemporary issues through sci-fi allegory, "In Time" is a pretty dopey movie.
Niccol has most of the important events of the film take place more than once so we'll know what we're seeing (and predict it) the second time around. If you're a sucker for glossy, silly science fiction along the lines of the recent Bruce Willis bust "Surrogates," however, you'll ignore the clunky dialogue and over-earnest performances and have fun anyway.
"In Time" does at least offer up a slick retro-future, with old-school muscle cars switched up to be gleaming automobiles with whizzing power sources that sound more like KitchenAid mixers than internal-combustion engines.
Century City, some 40 years after "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes," still looks like an urban center of the future, and the headquarters for Creative Artists Agency — known as the "death star" in the biz — finally gets its close-up as headquarters for the nefarious Philippe.
Timberlake neither shines nor embarrasses himself in the Everyman-hero role, but whoever thought putting the doe-eyed Seyfried into a Louise Brooks bob was a good idea should rethink his career choices. There's something weird about the whole cast being in their mid-20s — the film has a certain "Bugsy Malone" vibe because of it — but there's no better metaphor for Hollywood's youth fixation than the sight of Olivia Wilde playing Justin Timberlake's 50-year-old mother.
Perhaps the risible dialogue (so many time puns!) and over-the-top action set pieces are Niccol's clever way of getting an audience to sit through a fairly audacious political allegory about the redistribution of wealth and the monstrous effects that unregulated capitalism can have on the working classes. If so, hats off. In the final wash, "In Time" may not be as well-crafted an ode to collectivism as "Salt of the Earth," but the car chases are way better.

Yesterday it was reported that Fox was pulling out all of the stops to get in business with Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov, and adapt Seth Grahame-Smith's macabre novel "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter". When the filmmakers showed up on the Fox lot to meet with executives they were met with bloody footprints, giant banners, and a Confederate soldier playing "Taps" on a bugle.
With Sony, Paramount, Universal, and Summit all in the running, the project became one of the hottest properties in Hollywood. Apparently all of Fox's stunts and monkeyshines worked, since just a few minutes after we found out about them, the studio emerged victorious from the battle for the "Vampire Hunter".
The book tells the tale of the 16th President as an axe-wielding, vampire slayer. Bloodsuckers killed his mother, so he unleashes his vengeance upon them and their slave-owning protectors. Think "Buffy" in a stovepipe hat and chin strap beard.
The 3D production is set to begin next March, and will be the first movie for Bekmambetov since "Wanted".

LANCASTER, Calif., Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Animal control officials in Southern California say they've captured three pit bulls that slaughtered 42 goats on a farm near Lake Los Angeles.
Aaron Reyes, deputy director of the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control, said the dogs were captured Monday night, The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday
A fourth pit bull remained at large.
Reyes said it appeared the attack on 42 goats in a farm corral was related to pack mentality. "They just fed off one another's energy and mischievous behavior," he told the newspaper.
The captured dogs had no identifying tags.

Today Fox Business Network's Eric Bolling launches his new
5 p.m. 8 p.m. show, "Money Rocks."
To promote the program, Bolling spoke to a number of media outlets to talk about his show and his career.
The Tampa Tribune spends quite a bit of time talking to Bolling about baseball, specifically his time as a minor-league player in the Pittsburgh Pirates farm system:
Assigned to the club's minor league team in Bradenton, he was living his dream until injury ended his baseball career. A family friend got him a job on Wall Street and he quickly adapted to the high pressure wheeling and dealing.
"It's a lot like sports in that you've always got be on your game," he said. "It's the same with being on television; you have to be ready to give it your all when the cameras are on."
Benzinga.com gets him to open up about what "Money Rocks" will exactly be about:
It's a look at stories across music, sports, celebrities, politics, and business, basically just any entertaining business walk of life stories. It's a really different look, stuff you're not going to see 5 times a day on the various networks. We're gonna have some big-name guests. The first guest is Sir Richard Branson. Lee Dewyze, who just won American Idol is on Tuesday. Tony Gonzales, the tight end for the Atlanta Falcons. It's a show with different looks and different kinds of people, all about money.
And Mediaite's Steve Krakauer has the promo for the new program.

A cyclist told his friend where he would like his ashes to be scattered – moments before he was killed falling from his bike.
Father-of-four Mark Buckley, 51, from Claughton-on-Brock, near Garstang, was riding through the Trough of Bowland on September 5 last year with colleague Lee Double when he failed to negotiate a bend and struck a wall.
Mr Double told an inquest the pair were on a 40-mile route Mr Buckley was familiar with.
He said: "It was a social ride. We rode along with each other talking about life, discussing the ways of the world and work.
"We got to the top of the climb just before where Mark had his accident. He was waiting for me at the top, near a memorial plaque for cyclists and he commented if anything happened to him, that's where he would want his ashes spread."
The duo set off again heading for Dunsop Bridge where they were going to stop for a coffee.
During the descent, Mr Buckley, a physical education officer at Garth Prison, Leyland, was ahead of Mr Double and not always in sight because of the bend.
When Mr Double got to the bottom of the hill, he found him lying face down in a stream.
He tried to call 999 but had no mobile phone signal. He flagged down a couple in a car who raised the alarm at a nearby farm.
Colin McNutt, a passing motorist, told the inquest he had tried to call 999 but was surprised to have no signal.
He said: "I could see Lee was shook up. I was talking to him, trying to find out his name, trying to make conversation. He was holding Mark's head out of the water. He said Mark was getting heavy for him. I asked him if he wanted to swap over."
In a statement, pathologist Bianca De Gama Rose said Mr Buckley died from multiple injuries, including a fractured skull, in hospital.
PC Richard Roberts, senior police collision investigator, said Mr Buckley's GPS system had recorded a speed of 44.2mph, he had been wearing a good quality helmet and his bike was in a good condition.
The inquest heard it was a dry, bright and sunny day and the road conditions were decent.
Deputy coroner Simon Jones recorded a verdict of accidental death.
After the inquest Mark's widow Sharon said: "It's so sad. It is such a shame. He was full of life, he lived life to the full. It is very futile."

UK steps up Kosovo force
Pristina burns after Nato bombardment (APTN/Serb-controlled pool)
The United Kingdom is increasing both its military might against Serb forces and aid to Kosovan Albanian refugees, government ministers have confirmed.
Eight further Tornado GR7s are also to be deployed in the bombardment of Serbia, Chief of the Defence Staff General Sir Charles Guthrie said.
The Ministry of Defence briefing gave fresh instances of some of the atrocities Nato believes are being carried out in Kosovo by Serb forces.
International Development Secretary Clare Short detailed the aid effort Britain is supporting for the ethnic Albanians who have escaped death but been forced out of their homes and villages.
She said tents and blankets would be flown to the 60,000 refugees already in Albania, plus the further 90,000 expected, while the UK would give Ł500,000 to the Red Cross.
The briefing came as Russian Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov held talks in Belgrade aimed at finding a diplomatic means to stop the Nato bombing.
"Certainly, we could not accept simply Milosevic calling a ceasefire leaving him in control of the territory which he's cleansed of the Kosovo Albanians.
"Any settlement now must involve the ability of those refugees to return in security, free from fear, with an international guarantee, to their homes."
If Mr Primakov could persuade Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic to accept the deal reached at the Rambouillet talks "that would be welcome", Mr Cook said.
"I see no sign at present that Belgrade is willing to do that," he added.
"I think it would be extremely difficult to assemble any credible military force that did not include the 19 member states of Europe," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, speaking at Northern Ireland peace talks in Belfast, vowed to step up the attacks on Serb forces.
"We must now intensify the bombing campaign against Milosevic. I've spoken last night and this morning to both President Clinton and Javier Solana, the Secretary General of Nato.
"We are absolutely at one on this, the answer to what is happening is to intensify the attacks.
"It is to get in and hit Milosevic and his murderous thugs very, very hard. This is what we intend to do.
"There are risks to our forces. And, as I said when this campaign began, there are also risks to Kosovo Albanians."
The foreign secretary rejected criticism from those, including the Scottish National Party leader Alex Salmond, who blame Nato's actions for the exodus of ethnic Albanians from Kosovo in the past week.
"The refugees are not fleeing from the Nato bombs. It is not the Nato bombs that are destroying their, homes, burning their villages and putting pistols to their heads," he said.
"What has happened is that a disaster in Kosovo has now been turned into a humanitarian catastrophe of enormous proportions," he said.
"Under the bombs of Nato, the thugs of Milosevic have gone about their dirty work."

(an article in b@d English)
Let me tell you why I think that the global economy will collapse. Because they violated requirements to be stable. The economy, based on the loan has many advantages and is developing rapidly. But it is extremely fragile. Symbol of the banks. They are doing very useful work that they take some money from depositors and hand them out to borrowers. But banks are very vulnerable because the slightest panic can cause a run on deposits that break them completely. I.e. banking system can only exist in a very careful balance and careful protection. Even then, there are risks of unanticipated events. At the same story in other key segments of the credit economy. Everything is very fragile. Beneficial and profitable but fragile.
Currently (as a result of several decades of political crap) this fragile system is subjected to fierce attacks. I.e. not only did not protect but are also destabilized. The probability of survival is very low. The main destabilizing factor is the depreciation of paper money, which are the basis of the credit economy. If they spill, everything falls apart. Credit economy in these scales can be developed based on the gold standard. You just will not have enough money for loans. Now there but this paper money. For the system to work, the money must be reliable and structures that guarantee them.
The structures are not stable. On the horizon are unannounced waves of bankruptcies. Everything is full "crash" if only because it blocks the turnover of capital. Credit economy works only in very strong capital turnover. I.e. same money is used dozens of times for different things. And attend dozens of locations simultaneously. Mystical sounds right :) That's our economy, but the rate of decline in turnover, almost all chain themselves to bankruptcy. I.e. construction credit economy to collapse.
Before collapse are paper money. In an attempt to extinguish the fire, is taken huge monetary emission.
Theoretically, one can counter the other - Bankruptcy can act anti-inflationary. A printing press money can work against bankruptcy.
But both equally strong ruin CREDIT ECONOMY!
It requires both not print money, ie money to have secure values and no failures. Each of the two will destroy everything because they will destroy confidence. And now get both.
Therefore, I think the credit goes economy. What will come next - a return to the period before 1929. This cost. Politically I hate to think what kind of distractions can get in stupidity.
"Thoughts in b@d English" is a rubric of Dobri's Ratings created with the use of Google Translate. As my (Dobri's) native language is not English, so sometimes I am very slow in preparing a good English text. At the same time I have some thoughts to share. So I decided it is better to tell something in bad language, than not to tell it. In my native language I can write and express my thoughts much faster. So until my English becomes as good as my native language, I will use this rubric, containing flash-news and comments, translated fast to English only via Google Translate. This group of articles will be in separate RSS - out of the general site-RSS. The other sections of the site will be in better English :)))

BSOD hell on brand new system
I keep getting BSODs on my new system. This is quite literally a brand new, clean system, built from the ground up. The screens come at seemingly random times (even when the computer is sitting idle) as there is nothing we are doing the same each time. We have gone through and updated every last driver on the system (if there was an updated version). The memory test came back clean as well. This is driving us up the wall as it has happened too many times to count in the last 3 days (how old the system is). The .dmp files and perfmon report are attached as described. Please help!

The Liberal government has been forced to admit that they have not been adequately funding Grand River Hospital to meet the needs of families in Waterloo Region.
Yesterday's letter [attached] from Minister Hoskins says he's making "methodological refinements" to our hospital's funding. Everyone knows that's just double-speak for 'I've made a huge mistake.'
Families across Waterloo Region found out this week that the Liberals have created a $10 million budget shortfall for Grand River Hospital, forcing the elimination of 68 positions. That's in addition to the at least 770 registered nursing positions that have been cut across Ontario in the last year, as a direct result of the Liberals' four-year freeze on hospital funding.
Cutting frontline care hurts patients. The Liberals need to stop cutting the health care that families need.

MONTREAL — A former Quebec construction entrepreneur says he was once told he had to deal with a company recommended by Montreal's highest-ranking bureaucrat or risk losing a lucrative public works contract.
Lino Zambito is back on the Tuesday before Quebec's construction inquiry.
Zambito says after bidding successfully in 2005 on a $10-million sewer contract in east-end Montreal, he was summoned to a meeting one week later and told he had to use concrete piping furnished at a higher cost by supplier Groupe Tremca.
The former construction entrepreneur says his bid included a cheaper solution that was proven and didn't involve buying pipes. Zambito said the order to use Tremca was given to him by an engineer for a private firm who said it came from Robert Abdallah, then the city's director general.
Zambito said he initially balked because buying from Tremca was more expensive. But Zambito says he was assured that any extra costs would be covered by the city and that it was clear to him that Abdallah and Tremca had an arrangement.
"In my head it was clear that there was an arrangement between Mr. Abdallah and Tremca and I had no choice but to buy pipes from Tremca if I wanted the contract," Zambito said, adding the message was clear.
"You either get on board or the contract goes back to tender," he said.
Zambito decided to get on board since the contract was sizable and he was assured any extra costs would be covered. He said the engineer, who worked for a private company, was firm with him.
"He said if you want the project to be done, the pipes must be purchased from Tremca, the price was determined," Zambito told the commissioners.
"We'll compensate you and the $300,000 difference is the amount that the folks at Tremca will have to give to Mr. Abdallah to ensure the project is granted by the City of Montreal."
Zambito said it was the only time he could remember being told that he had to deal with a specific supplier.
The former vice-president at Infrabec says he never personally met Abdallah about the contract and crossed paths with him once at a fundraising event.
Zambito has testified that the cost of doing business meant a 3% kickback from the value of municipal contracts that went to the mayor's party.
Mayor Gerald Tremblay has denied any wrongdoing.
He also said city employees were also taking bribes in the form of a percentage of a contract but also in the form of gifts and payments.
Last week, Zambito told the commission that 2.5 per cent of the construction contracts went to the Italian Mob.
Abdallah, a long-time construction executive, was the city's director general from 2003 until 2006, when he left the job for unspecified reasons.
Abdallah's name became embroiled in a controversy surrounding the appointments process at the Montreal Port Authority and allegations of political pressure from Ottawa.
The Conservatives have acknowledged the government indicated a preference for Abdallah as president of the Montreal port board in 2007, as did the City of Montreal.
But the Conservatives denied any wrongdoing in the matter and said ultimately the decision was up to the Port Authority's board, which selected another candidate.

Dennis Wilder (2) and Commerce let a chance to go to the Georgia Dome slip away Friday night with a playoff loss to Hawkinsville.
R.C. Rique/Staff Onward to basketball season.
Northeast Georgia's final two representatives in the high school football playoffs were eliminated Friday night in similar fashion - dominated by teams that proved worthy of their respective No. 2 rankings.
Commerce (10-3) struck early against No. 2 Hawkinsville (13-0) in a Class A quarterfinal, but the Red Devils quickly bounced back to take control of the game. Hawkinsville scored three times in the first 15 minutes of the game to build a 19-6 halftime lead, then salted the game away in the second half for a 25-6 win.
Hawkinsville shut down Commerce's option offense for most of the night, usually holding tailback Dennis Wilder to just a few yards a carry. Wilder broke a 64-yard touchdown run on the game's second play to give Commerce a 6-0 lead, but that was the last time the Tigers scored.
Commerce had a chance to score a consolation touchdown late in the game, but the Red Devil defense held on fourth-and-goal from the 3.
Stephens County (10-3) suffered a similar fate, hanging with No. 2 Peach County (12-1) in the first half of a Class AAA quarterfinal and trailing just 14-7 at the break. But the Trojans proved too much in the second half en route to a 28-7 win.
Georgia commitment A.J. Bryant completed 11-of-14 passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns for the Trojans.
The Indians and Tigers were two of the three Northeast Georgia teams to win 10 games in 2003. Morgan County (10-2) was the other.
Just two defending state champions remained alive going into the semifinals at the Georgia Dome. Buford (13-0), looking for its third straight title, plays Decatur (13-0) in a Saturday semifinal.
Clinch County (11-1-1), which beat Landmark Christian (11-2) 14-8 in a Class A quarterfinal Saturday night, will play Hawkinsville.
Parkview's reign as Class AAAAA champion was stopped Friday night by Newnan, which returned a fumble 55 yards for the game-winning touchdown with 7 seconds left in a 20-14 win. The Panthers' loss means for the first time in the four-year history of Class AAAAA, the state champion will not be Parkview.
Newnan will play No. 1 Camden County (13-0) in the semifinals. The Wildcats battered Stephenson 26-0 in the quarterfinals.
Defending champions Thomson in Class AAAA and Screven County in Class AAA were eliminated in the second round.
Playoff picture
Here are the high school football pairings for next week's semifinals of the state playoffs to be played at Georgia Dome:
Camden Co. (13-0) vs. Newnan (12-1), Friday, 9 p.m.

FIGC gathering new Calciopoli evidence
Juventus president Andrea Agnelli says Inter are nervous as the Italian football federation (FIGC) goes through wiretaps to gather new Calciopoli evidence.
• Juve want Inter's title revoked
Juve lost their titles of 2005 and 2006 as a result of the scandal, which saw the club accused of attempting to rig games through referee selection. Among other punishments, they were relegated to Serie B, while AC Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio and Reggina were also hit with points deductions.
However, there have since been suggestions that Inter - who were handed the 2006 title in Juve's place - were also involved, with Paolo Bergamo, the official who appointed referees, having indicated that the Nerazzurri should also have been punished.
The FIGC is reopening the investigation as Juve have handed over new wiretapped phone calls. Juve want Inter stripped of the 2006 title and for it not to be assigned to anyone, as was the case with the 2005 Scudetto.
FIGC president Giancarlo Abete said: "The FIGC lawyers are gathering the transcripts of those phone calls recently submitted to the Naples court as evidence in the Calciopoli trial.
"These will then be sent to the Federal Prosecutor for evaluation and can complete the documentation received recently of 228 CD-ROMs to be transcribed."
Inter president Massimo Moratti said this week: "I saw the Juventus directors and Abete look pretty happy after their meeting. Evidently they are already on the same page, but I don't need to ask Abete for anything."
Agnelli believes Moratti may have reasons to be fearful.
"Evidently Moratti is nervous," he said. "As for us, we have absolutely no reason to be nervous or irritable. Do Inter feel the same way? I don't know.
"I only focus on what happens at Juventus. We are calm. We know what is in the evidence, the Federation also knows, so we have faith waiting for their judgment.
"As far as I am concerned, there is a very relaxed rapport between Inter and Juventus. You know the facts. On the basis of the new wiretaps, Inter also had some phone calls with the officials. Therefore, the Scudetto should not be assigned."

The halftime score of 6-9 didn't reflect Wales' dominance of the first half. Scarlets centre Jonathan Davies displayed his predatory try-scoring prowess to edge Wales further in front in the 45th minute as he picked up a loose ball to score with his first touch of the ball in the game.
Wales Under 20's faced a huge challenge in the mud bath at Viterbo as the heaven's opened but it failed to stop their unbeaten Six Nations run.
After the game had survived a pitch inspection and a 45 minute kick-off delay, it took just 90 seconds for Wales to get the scoreboard rolling.
Outside half Sam Davies kicked-off and Wales took advantage of the Italians' knock-on. A quick tap penalty from Scarlets and Llandovery scrum half Rhodri Williams got his side on the front foot with Scarlets and Carmarthen Quins flanker Dan Thomas crossing the whitewash for the first score of the game.
Williams also played his part in Wales' second try as he picked up and dived over in the corner as the visitor's used the scrum as their main weapon.
With a penalty try also added for persistent infringement by the home side Wales concluded victorious winners with a 10-25 scoreline.
In Wales Under 18s first capped international of the season it was more of the same as the Scarlets got their name on the scoreboard after some great attacking play.
France were first on the scoreboard with a penalty for Toulouse full back Thomas Ramos, but Wales then scored three unanswered tries, a brace for Scarlets fullback Steffan Evans with captain and right wing Dafydd Howells also touching down.
France scored two tries to bring them within two points of Wales at 20-22 and the home side under considerable pressure at St Helens.
However, Wales responded well with some fifteen man rugby, Scarlets No 8 Tom Phillips and lock Josh Helps amongst those to make the hard yards before the backs showed some lovely handling skills to send Howells over for the fourth try securing a 29-27 victory.
It was also a brace of Scarlets tries that saw Wales Women take a narrow 15-16 victory over the Italians in what was a real cliffhanger at Stadio Pacevecchia in Benevento.
Italy opened the scoring in the fourth minute with a penalty but Wales' industrious pack worked prop Catrin Edwards over in the 27th minute from a lineout close to the Italy try-line.
Italy hit back with a second penalty but Wales hit the front again on the stroke of halftime when Lowri Harries followed Edwards' example and touched down from another excellent move from a lineout.
Resolute defence ensured Italy never got another sniff of any points as Wales registered their first win of the campaign to remain on course of qualifying automatically for next year's World Cup in France with a top four finish in the Six Nations.

Glade residents can have a voice about incorporation, ions honor volunteer firemen and new members
Fairfield Glade Community Club
For The Vista
The most recent Fairfield Glade Community Club Incorporation Committee recommended incorporation, but numerous questions remained unanswered, most notably in the financial and regulatory area.
The Board is NOT planning on taking action to incorporate.
But, as Boards in the past have done as part of their due diligence in decision making, we are looking at using consultants to provide the Club a comprehensive analysis of the impact to the Club and its members if incorporation were pursued by private citizens.
The scope of such an effort is beyond the time and expertise of our Committees.
The Board has received proposals from two qualified cosultants.
One is a basic approach with an estimated fee of $24,500, excluding any additional fees for attorneys as needed. The other is a more comprehensive approach with an estimated fee of $87,600.
This survey is asking members to respond to the question of how much the Board should spend for an incorporation feasibility study ONLY. This survey is not intended to determine whether or not you are in support of incorporating Fairfield Glade.
The deadline for all surveys to be received is 11 P.M. on Sunday, September 14.
Go to the following website to take this survey on line:
Manual surveys are available at the Community Club Administration Office at 7827 Peavine Road.
Survey results will be announced by our independent CPA Firm at the Annual Meeting on Friday, September 19, at 10 A.M.. at the Community & Conference Center.

Spain's request for as much as 100 billion euros ($125 billion) of European bailout funds may provide the country with enough money to shore up its banking system after three failed attempts in as many years.
"Now that they have this money, it will hopefully finally be possible to recognize all the hidden losses and clean up the system," Luis Garicano, a professor at the London School of Economics, said in a phone interview.
The amount sought is about 2.7 times the funds deemed necessary for Spanish banks by the International Monetary Fund in a report released June 8 and five times the total requested by the Bankia group, the country's third-biggest lender, to cleanse its balance sheet. Spain sought aid for its banks on June 9, becoming the fourth euro member to seek a bailout since the debt crisis began almost three years ago.
The rescue request followed weeks of escalating concern that bad loans at Spain's banks might overwhelm public finances. The Spanish crisis, coinciding with the prospect of Greece exiting the euro after elections on June 17, roiled financial markets around the world, sending the euro to an almost two-year low on June 1 and raising Spanish borrowing costs to near euro-era records.
Spanish banks, government bonds and the euro rose today. Banco Santander SA, Spain's biggest bank, jumped as much as 9.7 percent, and was up 24 cents, or 4.9 percent, to 5.09 euros by 11:26 a.m. in Madrid trading. Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA, the nation's second-largest lender, climbed as much as 10 percent and was 32 cents, or 6.2 percent, higher at 5.47 euros. The Spanish two-year note yield fell to less than 4 percent for the first time in almost a month.
Mariano Rajoy, who denied the need for a banking bailout as recently as May 28, will be under scrutiny as his government tries to complete the cleanup after past efforts fell short. The funds to shore up banks don't address the broader budget woes in Spain, where the economy is contracting and the unemployment rate is higher than 24 percent.
"We view this as a positive near-term development for Spain, and in particular for its banks," Andrew Benito, senior European economist at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in London, said in a note yesterday. "But it does not solve Spain's overall fiscal and macroeconomic challenges, which remain substantial."
Spanish banks will probably face fresh provisioning rules as the government mulls how to deploy the funds after receiving information on the size of the capital shortfall from the IMF and the independent audits it has commissioned, said Jaime Becerril and Axel Finsterbusch, analysts at JPMorgan Chase & Co.
"We expect the government will take advantage of having the 100 billion-euros credit line to force a realistic cleanup of the banks, being conservative to avoid a full country bailout," they wrote in a research note today, adding that weaker banks would have to raise more capital.
Apart from Santander and BBVA, and perhaps Banco Sabadell SA, almost all Spanish lenders may be short of capital, said Daragh Quinn, an analyst at Nomura International in London.
Santander and BBVA have been tarred by the nation's banking distress even though they generate most of their revenue outside the country. Santander declined 34 percent in Madrid trading in the 12 months through yesterday, while BBVA fell 30 percent. They may benefit from the bailout if it cuts their funding costs and leads investors to recognize their strengths, said Quinn.
"From the perspective of the Spanish banks, the funds are sufficient to draw a line under the capital debate," said Goldman Sachs analysts Jernej Omahen, Pawel Dziedzic and Luca de Angelis in a research note today.
Europe will lend the money to Spain's bank-rescue fund, which will channel it to the banks based on the findings of reports by the independent auditors, which are scheduled to complete a stress test of lenders by June 21, Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said at a June 9 news conference in Madrid.
Spain pushed for a funding "cushion" over and above what the industry may need because the "message it sends to the market is much clearer and more forceful," Rajoy told reporters in Madrid yesterday. The IMF, in the June 8 report, said Spanish banks would need at least 37 billion euros to withstand a weakening economy.
While the rescue plan may provide a respite to Spanish debt and the euro, its success will depend on execution.
"What a wonderful opportunity Spain has to sort all this out," said Simon Maughan, a financial industry analyst at Olivetree Securities in London. "But I'm afraid they're going to squander it."
Only a commitment by Spain to buy bad assets from lenders and manage them in a so-called bad bank will cure the ills of the country's banking system, Maughan said.
"The money is there but the question is now how are you going to use it," Maughan said in a phone interview. "If this money actually goes into the banks and allows for proper writedowns, then great -- but if just sits on their balance sheets, the uncertainty will continue."
De Guindos and Rajoy both said conditions on the loans from Europe would apply only to the banks that take the money and wouldn't affect the government's economic or fiscal policy. Spain is already pruning state spending and raising taxes to tackle a budget deficit that is the euro-area's third-largest at 8.9 percent of gross domestic product.
Before the bailout announcement, Spain's bank-rescue fund, known as FROB, had about 5 billion euros in cash. That compares with the 19 billion euros in state support sought by the Bankia group, Spain's third-biggest lender, which was nationalized last month. The 100 billion euros from Europe helps remove doubts about funding the recapitalization of the banks that do need more money, said Nomura's Quinn.
The next questions are which lenders will require the funds and how much they'll need. Spanish authorities will weigh the findings of the IMF and the independent auditors, Oliver Wyman Ltd. and Roland Berger Strategy Consultants. The Bank of Spain, the country's banking regulator, was accused in the IMF report of being too slow to tackle weaker lenders, a failure that allowed "growing vulnerabilities" to develop.
"They will want to remove the uncertainty," said Quinn. "The fact there is 100 billion euros means that there isn't the same financial limitation on enforcing the provisioning needs that may be shown up in the audits."
In addition to Madrid-based Bankia, nationalized lenders that need support include CatalunyaCaixa and Banco de Valencia, seized last year. The IMF's report said some former savings banks that haven't taken government money, as well as medium and small private sector banks, may post losses this year after provisioning for bad loans.
Analysts have been applying the level of provisioning planned by Bankia across the industry to determine which other lenders may be vulnerable.
Banco Popular Espanol SA may need to set aside an additional 3.8 billion euros to take loan-loss provisions to the levels planned by Bankia, according to Santiago Lopez, an analyst at Exane BNP Paribas.
Popular, which holds a shareholders' meeting today, insists it doesn't need state aid. The Madrid-based lender said in a June 6 filing to regulators that it would earn a total of 905 million euros in profit this year and next as it uses asset sales to fund provisions for bad loans.
"We find ourselves in a situation of deep uncertainty that we hope will be relieved with the measures adopted and the urgent conclusion of the valuation work now underway," Banco Popular Chairman Angel Ron told shareholders today.
For Maughan of Olivetree, Spain's best chance of restoring confidence in a banking system burdened by more than 180 billion euros of toxic real estate assets would be to remove them from the lenders' balance sheets. The Irish government, which sought a bailout in 2010, funded a bad bank to take real estate off lenders' books, forcing write-downs of 58 percent.
"The Irish forced the banks to take write-downs by saying we will take your loans off your balance sheet for you and we will buy them at 35 cents on the euro," said Maughan. "If you really want to stand up and be credible and say 100 billion euros is the right number, use the money to take the bad loans off the banks."

In her own little way, Kaela Chapdelaine is bringing small-town Alberta into the big time. And the Oregon Ducks guard couldn't be more proud.
Chapdelaine will take to the floor today in Seattle for Oregon's opening-round game against Texas-Christian in the NCAA women's basketball tournament.
And when they introduce Chapdelaine in the University of Washington arena, they will highlight the budding town of Okotoks.
"In our media guide, my hometown is written as Okotoks, Alberta," said Chapdelaine with a chuckle.
"I had the opportunity to start a few games this year and they mention hometowns when they call us out.
"I love hearing Okotoks over the loudspeakers. It's a small town that gets no love. It's nice to bring it to everyone's attention."
Chapdelaine is doing Okotoks proud, even though she didn't exactly spend her entire life there.
As daughter of Jacques Chapdelaine, the former Stampeders offensive co-ordinator who now has the same position with the B.C. Lions, the family moved wherever football jobs would take them.
But the Chapdelaines always seemed to end up back in Okotoks, mostly because Kaela's mother Kim is from Calgary.
Although Eugene, Ore., isn't all that far from Alberta, the Ducks exist in a completely different basketball world than Kaela was used to.
When Chapdelaine arrived at the University of Oregon in the fall of 2003, she couldn't believe the entire town is painted green.
"Americans love their sports," said Chapdelaine, who red-shirted last season because of a shin injury. "Eugene is comparable to Lethbridge. It's not too big or too small.
"But the fan support is incredible. It's amazing how people love the Ducks. There's billboards everywhere, 'Go Ducks, beat whoever.'
"Whoever we play this week that is.
"It's amazing to me how many people encourage us. I can't believe it."
Eugene has Ducks Fever right now, as the women's basketball team is in the big tournament for the first time in years.
Chapdelaine is surprised at how many people are making the trip to Seattle, where she will meet up with her parents and friends driving down from Vancouver.
Because of Kaela's success as a freshman with the Ducks, Jacques and Kim have become fanatic basketball fans.
But growing up, Kaela was naturally drawn toward football because of her dad and two younger brothers, Matthew-Grae and Justin.
"I was such a tomboy and I thought I would be the first girl in the CFL," said Chapdelaine, who picked up hoops in Grade 4. "I was just so full of myself. I got introduced to basketball and I found my true love.
"It was neat to introduce basketball to (my family)."

HOOPS ROUNDUP: Calgary has several players in the women's version of March Madness, which begins today across the U.S.
Chestermere guard Jody Bell is one of four seniors with the Texas Longhorns, who tip off against Oral Roberts today in Dallas.
Airdrie's Lauren Stagg is a senior with the Arizona State Sun Devils, who play Eastern Kentucky in Fresno, Calif.
And Katie Ward of Calgary is a sophomore with Illinois State, which plays against Baylor today in Seattle.

The Movie:
When The Killer Elite, Gary McKendry's directorial debut, starts off we meet an assassin named Danny Bryce (Jason Statham) and his partner Hunter (Robert De Niro) in the middle of a job that goes wrong - there was a kid in the car along with their intended target. Though the kid doesn't get killed, this is enough to send Danny into early retirement: he wants out of the game. When Hunter winds up being held captive in Oman for taking six million for a job he never carried out, however, Danny soon finds he can't stay away and while his initial attempt to save Hunter fails, he's not an easy man to stop.
As Danny zips around Oman doing his thing, he winds up coming into contact with a Sheikh angry over the way his country has been treated which sets into a motion a conspiracy of sorts involving the SAS and a covert military organization lead by a man named Spike (Clive Owen) that will send Danny globetrotting from continent to continent where he and Hunter find themselves to be the targets in a fight for their lives.
Considering the talent involved in this film, it really should have been a great picture and it's disappointing to report that it's not really much more than a typical action film, the kind that Statham has now been ridiculously typecast for. Do we really need him to play another Bond-ish assassin? Didn't he just do this in The Mechanic (which was a much better picture than this one)? Granted, the guy's got screen presence to spare and is as cool as they come but wouldn't it be nice, just for once, to see him play something a little different? That doesn't happen here. This leaves it to Denier and Owen to make this one interesting, and sadly, neither is able to do that. De Niro continues to run his once sterling career into mediocrity with his portrayal of Hunter in this film. While once indisputably one of the greatest things to come out of Hollywood in the last few decades, he's so far removed from the greatness of the movies he made with Scorsese that his work here almost seems like some sort of strange joke. Owen, at least, delivers some decent work here and the film is at its best when he and Statham are at odds with one another. Here the movie does at least offer up some food for thought as the two sides essentially abide by their own moral codes of right and wrong, both killers and both technically 'bad guys' though each trying to do the right thing.
The film does offer up some decent action set pieces. The opening scene where Statham and De Niro make the hit is tense and exciting, with Statham rushing headfirst towards the car with his target in it and De Niro backing him up with a machine gun. On a visual level the movie looks very cool, it's got lots of style and its slick cinematography captures the firefights and combat scenes very effectively. A romantic subplot between Danny and a beautiful woman named Anne (Yvonne Strahovski) is crammed into the movie for no obvious reason other than for the simple point of just having a romantic subplot in the film and the secret military society angle isn't exploited nearly as well as it could have been but stuff does blow up nicely here. Sadly, that's all the movie really offers, however, just a few cursory cheap thrills and some cool fight scenes. Other than that, it seems content to coast off of its casting and its style rather than exploit the more interesting elements of the story being told here. The end result is a movie that could have been a thinking man's action film but is instead a popcorn picture - fluffy and easy to deal with, but offering no real substance.
The Killer Elite looks great on Blu-ray presented in an AVC encoded 1080p high definition transfer in its 2.40.1 widescreen aspect ratio. While the look of the film tends to favor slightly bleached out colors at times, this is reference quality stuff - every pore on every actors face is visible, you can almost count the stubble hairs on Statham's face if you want, while texture is evident and constant throughout. There are no issues with dirt, debris or damage of any kind and the image is spotless from start to finish. Black levels are rich and deep and shadow detail is uniformly strong even if there is some very minor crush in a few scenes that you might spot if you're looking for such things. Other than that, however, this is a very impressive effort free of any obvious noise reduction, edge enhancement or compression issues.
The only audio option for the movie is an English language DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track, though optional subtitles are provided in English SDH and Spanish. As you'd expect from the nature of the film, this is a pretty aggressive mix - you'll notice this right away when the car explodes and tumbles down the road as the effects fly right past you from the front to the rear and really pull you into the moment. Dialogue stays clean and clear and the score is well mixed, but it's the sound effects that'll make you stand up and take notice. Gunshots pack loads of punch and have a nice low end to them, explosions rumble through the movie nicely and car tires screech with violent and aggressive tension. Though there are some scenes where some noticeably sloppy ADR work is painfully obvious, this is otherwise a very strong effort in the sound department - the movie sounds fantastic on Blu-ray.
The Extras:
Extras are remarkably sparse on this release - really, there's only ten minutes of deleted scenes here, that's about it. They add a little bit to the story but otherwise don't amount to much. Aside from that, look for menus, chapter stops, D-Box encoding, Blu-ray Live functionality, a digital copy and a DVD copy - but none of this offers any insight into the movie itself, which is generally what we want out of supplements, isn't it?
The Killer Elite should have been a lot more interesting than it is, but unfortunately it's predictable, it suffers from pacing problems and it relies more on action movie clichés than on solid performances or memorable set pieces. That said, it's passably entertaining even if it should have been more than that. Universal's Blu-ray release is pretty lame in the extras department but it does offer a superb audio and video presentation. Statham devotees will probably enjoy this one more than others - if you don't fall into that camp, rent it. You could do worse, but you could also do a lot better.
