MEDWAY, MA -- Cybex International, Medway, MA, notified its customers, dealers, distributors and shareholders this week that it will increase pricing on its commercial products. The notification, sent Dec. 7 by John Aglialoro, CEO of Cybex, did not specify how much pricing would increase or whether pricing would increase on all Cybex commercial products or just some. It did state the increase would occur in January.
A call to Cybex for specifics was not immediately returned. However, in the company's third quarter financial call, Aglialoro specifically noted that the Arc Trainer and some of the company's strength equipment might be priced higher due to what Aglialoro termed as their high "value" compared to competing products.
In the letter, Aglialoro said that the increase is because of the difficult economy and the company's desire to maintain its research and development business so it could continue to improve its products.
The letter stated: "The situation for us to continue serving you requires a choice between two equally undesirable alternatives relative to price. Offer aggressive, deeply discounted pricing for 2010 (as too many competitors of Cybex are doing), or increase pricing in January to allow us to continue investing in explicit differentiation in product safety, efficacy and performance. At Cybex, we know we can't continue to try to do both alternatives. Choosing the former path will, inevitably, lead to an innovative drought. As CEO, I choose the latter philosophy, knowing that criticism and self-doubt would be in order, but the responsibility to represent not only our customers and partners, but the employees and shareholders of Cybex, required a clear direction and a single choice."
Aglialoro acknowledged in the letter that the increase may cause some customers to switch to other equipment providers.
"As you know, the fitness club market today is crowded and price-driven," the letter said. "Relationships have too often turned into one-time transactions. Hence, we know that not all of you will wish to accommodate the philosophy of value over price. And, we do not want to dramatically and negatively affect the operation of your business. To the degree that is possible for Cybex, we will accommodate, where necessary, an orderly transfer of direction for you to move with another vendor."
Aglialoro announced in the company's third quarter financial call that Cybex would be increasing its pricing in the coming months. The company experienced lower sales in the first three quarters of 2009 and the last quarter of 2008.

If you look at the whole situation it seems that a particular agent was targeted, and that for the "first" time Anon has used HumInt to get what they wanted. It seems to me be the only explanation to whats going on right now.

I'm sorry to have to say it on a forum, but I want the whole world to know my love for you. It's been a whirlwhind couple of weeks, and you're so precious, I just have to tell everyone I can, and what better way than over the internet?
I remember when we first met, at the library... I was playing CounterStrike, and started yelling because of this one camper. The stupid bastard, he wasn't even using a sniper, just hiding-- but you calmed me down, and your eyes, my GOD, I can never get them out of my head, and I don't want to... you have such beautiful, beautiful eyes... I asked you out right there, do you remember? You look so sweet when you're stunned... luckily, you said yes.
Heh, while I'm reminiscing... your parents have to be _the_ coolest people in the worlds. I mean, what kind of parents offer you to stay over for dinner after catching you in bed with their child? And they're damn good cooks, too, but I believe I ranted enough about it when I was there. Mmm. To die for. The sex was good, too. ^_~
I've been saving up money since we started dating, because I knew you were the one. So, I ask you now, with all the love in my heart...
will you marry me?

Culturally aware initcap
From PostgreSQL wiki
Culturally aware initcap
Any version
Written by Peter Geoghegan ("sternocera")
The following is an implementation of what I call "culturally aware initcap", which is usable as a drop-in replacement for initcap, provided input is in English. It solves a number of problems I've often encountered when using regular initcap, particularly with possessive apostrophes, but also with various common contractions (isn't, can't, won't, I'm, you've, you're). It does this without stepping on the toes of people with Irish names like O'Shaughnessy and O'Sullivan.
with regular initcap: SELECT initcap($$O'SULLIVAN'S friend DOESN'T LIVE HERE anymore$$)
output: "O'Sullivan'S Friend Doesn'T Live Here Anymore"
with cul_initcap: SELECT cul_initcap($$O'SULLIVAN'S friend DOESN'T LIVE HERE anymore$$)
output: "O'Sullivan's Friend Doesn't Live Here Anymore"
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION cul_initcap(input_val text) RETURNS text AS $function_body$ SELECT REPLACE( REPLACE( REPLACE( REPLACE( REPLACE( REPLACE( REPLACE( regexp_replace(initcap($1), $$'(([MSTD]|Ve|Re|Ll))([^[:upper:][:lower:]]|$)$$, $$'{@*#!\1!#*@}\3$$, 'g' ) , '{@*#!M!#*@}', 'm') , '{@*#!S!#*@}', 's') , '{@*#!T!#*@}', 't') , '{@*#!D!#*@}', 'd') , '{@*#!Ve!#*@}', 've') , '{@*#!Re!#*@}', 're') , '{@*#!Ll!#*@}', 'll'); $function_body$ LANGUAGE 'sql' IMMUTABLE STRICT;
One notable limitation of my implementation is that it will incorrectly convert "magical brace enclosed literals" into their corresponding output values: '{@*#!T!#*@}' ,'{@*#!S!#*@}', '{@*#!M!#*@}', '{@*#!Ve!#*@}' (and the rest) become 't', 's', 'm' and 've' respectively. I doubt that this is much of a concern generally. If it is a concern, use more elaborate magical braces that are even less likely to occur in strings that exist in production.

All orders within the continental United States over $75 ship for FREE.
Our free shipping policy applies to all orders – whether it's a first-time purchase or a convenient auto-ship subscription.
Why the minimum order requirement?
Unfortunately our premium organic plant-based products are very expensive to produce. With very little margin on these types of products, we can only afford to pay your shipping once your cart value is over $75.
With that being said, most customers spend over $75 with us each time they shop, so free shipping is a win-win for everyone.
Our 'Crazy' Money-Back Guarantee…
Go ahead and try our products for the next 2-4 weeks.
Either you'll experience the results you've been searching for (and liberate yourself from the need to decide which supplement company you should go for next)... OR we'll refund all your money — no hassle and no return necessary — PLUS we'll cover the entire cost of you switching to one of our competitors of your choice, gram for gram!
Most companies would never dare to go this far, but we don't play by the same rules. We proudly stand behind our products with everything we've got. Thanks to our customers who told us many times how they can literally taste the quality and feel the difference compared to everything else they've tried.
How to take advantage of our guarantee (we're telling you just in case):
Call us directly at 844-476-8632, or notify us at firstname.lastname@example.com, and you'll be taken care of. Be ready to provide the original purchase receipt you got from an authorized GBN retailer (copies not accepted).
To protect ourselves from fraud, the guarantee is only valid for first-time purchases of a product, and redeemable up to 90 days after purchase. If you bought more than one bottle of a supplement on your first order and don't like it, we would ask that you send the unopened bottles back to us for a refund because we can put them back into our sellable inventory.
Superfood Protein is a convenient all-in-one nutritional shake which contains an organic blend of plant-based proteins, greens, fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and digestive enzymes.
I will say this is the best tasting protein shake I've ever had. This one doesn't have any bad after taste at all. I will say I like Vanilla flavor over the chocolate. I usually just make my shake with ice, Malk Almond milk, and a banana. Delicious!!!!
My favorite vegan protein!! I can read ever ingredient in this protein!
I love ground base nutrition because it taste good with water. It is vegan and sugar free. I use it when I'm hungry.
If you want a protein where you can read every ingredient on the label look no further! All natural and doesn't taste like it.
All organic and plant based protein that tastes delicious.

Inspired by the portable Pocket Repeat game of yore, MAKE reader Mauricio writes in with his version of the Mintronics Memory Game Weekend Project. Mauricio uses the same ATmega328P-PU microcontroller found in the MintDuino kit, but he opted to solder up his circuit on a piece of perfboard instead of using multiple breadboards. The result reminds me at first glance of a Nintendo N64 controller, with two D-pad-like layouts with the analog stick in the middle. And the RGBY LEDs are a direct nod to the color configuration of the original Simon electronic game.
Thanks for writing in Mauricio!

Last week Harvey Correia wrote a beautiful blog post about his family's first mission awareness trip to Nicaragua, where they met their sponsored child, Claudia, and also sponsored two more children: Juan Francisco and Neyling. Here he recounts the story of how Claudia and her "family" from the U.S. got to celebrate her quinceaÒera,the celebration of a girl's 15th birthday and transition into adulthood.
We enjoyed visiting Claudia so much in 2009 that we returned on a mission awareness trip the following August so we could visit all three of our sponsored children.
We visited Claudiaís home on this trip and met her mother, a sister and a brother. Unfortunately, we learned that her father was quite ill and had been unable to work for nearly a year because of his ailments.
This obviously brought sad feelings, but we also had some new joys by seeing our children bond together while we traveled with CFCA for the next few days.
We treasure a photo of Claudia walking with her arm around Neylingís mother.
During this trip we met a fellow sponsor, and through him we met more sponsors through Facebook contacts.
One of these contacts had photos of a quinceaÒera celebration for their sponsored girl from Nicaragua, and we decided to pursue helping our girl Claudia celebrate her quinceaÒera.
We just returned from our most recent visit to Nicaragua and had a wonderful time. We visited all of our children and had a wonderful time at the quinceaÒera Mass.
(This visit was arranged through CFCA, and a local staff member accompanied us throughout our time there.)
After the evening Mass, we walked a mile to Claudiaís home where we had a great celebration that lasted almost until midnight. We had dinner, danced, had cake and took lots of photographs.
Our Claudia is now a beautiful young woman, and her faith appears strong. She is doing pretty well in school, and we are encouraging her to work even harder to achieve her lofty dreams of being a doctor.
Her humble family is very grateful for the help we have provided, and their love has been a great blessing for our family.
We were able to help with some much-needed medications for Claudiaís father so that the familyís patriarch may continue to lead this loving family.
Neyling and her mother joined us at the celebration and we look forward to working through CFCA to prepare another celebration for her in five years.
The CFCA staff helped immensely in helping organize the celebration and even came the following day to help clean up and return chairs, etc.
The love shown by the staff is inspiring and helps assure us that our commitment to sponsorship is well placed.
We hope that sharing the blessings we have received from sponsorship will help encourage others to become sponsors or even sponsor more children or aging.

I was nominated for a Kreativ Blogger Award by none other than the lovely Brianne Drouhard, fellow unicorn fanatic, RPG nerdette and all-around unstoppable ball of talent. Thanks girl!
There's a catch to this of course! As part of the rules for the Kreativ Blogger award, I have to nominate the next 7 Kreativ Bloggers, and then list 7 random things about myself... right, like you guys wanna know more junk about me but, rules are rules.
So I nominate, in no particular order:
Bill Presing: You've seen his beauties, but did you know that he also makes a mean avocado pie? If a bunch of people start randomly asking him for the recipe, it will confuse him and that will be awesome. ;)
Sarah Forrester: Her work is adorable, full of life and sincerity. Look no further for some of the most expressive critters you'll find online.
Lauren Faust: This woman is on fire! Her own doll ine just launched and she's the new big cheese for the next My Little Pony line. Talk about livin' the dream!
Eric Favela: I recently met him at CTN and just gawked helplessly at his work. He's works at Blue Sky and his characters just make me melt.
Chris Vear: The only person on earth who is more patient with vectors than I am XD Be sure to check out his canyon piece
Shane Corn: An incredibly productive and inspiring character artist that I look up to!
Daniela Stijleva: Color, character and motion - her artwork has it all. I love her landscapes of the city, she really captures the light and the atmosphere of the Bay Area.
So uh, I guess now the random facts?
1. I'm a girl. I know it sounds redundant but I keep coming across blogs that refer to me as a dude. What's it gonna take, peoples?!
2. I don't mind the sound of nails on a chalkboard, but licking a popsicle stick sends chills down my spine and makes me cringe.
3. I walk all screwed up. It's sort of a lost cause at this point - I originally walked toe-to-heel, which gave me scoliosis and now my left foot sticks out to the side after a bad ankle injury a couple of years ago. That's what I get for not bothering with physical therapy.
4. My favorite things to draw are horses, boobies and fat, round animals/creatures/things. In fact, no matter what it is I am going to draw, I always start by drawing a circle, even if I never build on it. I think of it as like winding up for a pitch.
5. My favorite gaming console is still SNES, after all these years and many consoles later.
6. When I was little I was going to be a whale trainer when I grew up, then an animator, then I realized that I hated actually animating so then I was going to switch my major to biology in college but stuck with illustration. Now I draw animals and continue to love nature shows.
7. I love the smell of wet pavement in the summer and chlorine. The wet pavement makes me think of summer thunderstorms and the chlorine makes me think of the swimming pool I had growing up. No, I do not have a substance abuse problem. Now show me to the nearest bottle of bleach.
Finally, some culinary spooks. They have a reason for being, I will show you more of that after GDC in March. :)

Riesling Report: Mönchhof Robert Eymael Riesling 2010
We're celebrating the Summer of Riesling by trying a different bottle every weekday. Got a favorite riesling? Recommend it in the comments!
Wow—this one is a steal. This Urzig, Germany estate has winemaking history going way, way back; their entry-level qualitätswein is a seriously good value for around $14 (and sometimes less.) Bright fruit bursts forward in the first sip: ripe apricots and juicy tangerines. Mouthwatering tartness balances the fruity sweetness; it tastes a bit like a mouthful of orange and strawberry Starburst candies. This wine has none of the reserved, austere qualities of the drier budget rieslings; it's as gulpable as freshly squeezed orange juice, and at 8% ABV, it goes down easy. The minerality is delicate, but you'd notice its absence.
This wine makes the case for a riesling breakfast: it has a ton in common with a Bellini. Serve with crisp sourdough waffles or lemon-ricotta pancakes and Canadian bacon.
Not a wine-with-breakfast type? Bring this bottle on a turkey-sandwich picnic, pair with marmalade-glazed grilled shrimp at a late summer barbecue, or serve it to a crowd at Thanksgiving.
Around $14, sample provided for review.

Leather Info
Batick is a corrected, pigment improved and grain embossed upholstery leather, which has had most of its natural marks removed. Batick may have a two-tone colour effect to liven up the surface. Batick is resistant to fading, although changes in colour will occur over time due to use and exposure to light. A protective layer of lacquer simplifies cleaning. Simple cleaning, excellent utilisation properties and a favourable price make Batick a good choice.
Cori is a corrected, pigment improved and grain embossed upholstery leather. Cori has a substantial body and a distinct pebbled grain. Most of its natural marks are removed. Cori has a tip-shine which adds depth and character to the surface. Some colours have two-tone/ tone-on-tone effect. A protective layer of lacquer simplifies cleaning. Cori is a wise choice if you want leather with excellent utilisation properties, a robust structure and an exclusive look.
Paloma is a slightly corrected leather with a combination of dyes and pigments that smoothes down some of the structure (the grain pattern) of the leather. The grain structure in Paloma may however vary a little at some parts of the furniture and also minor colour nuances may appear in the leather. Natural marks, scars and insect bites are natural and will appear in Paloma. A thin coat of lacquer gives Paloma some protection and simplifies cleaning, but Paloma does not have the same heavy duty quality and protection as Batick and Classic. Due to its soft, natural and comfortable expression, Paloma is a very popular choice.
Noblesse is the most exclusive leather quality offered by Ekornes. It is a full grain semi-aniline, which means that it is dyed all the way through and has only a thin protective topcoat. This allows the leather to keep the natural softness and lustre that characterises a first-class furniture leather. A natural material like Noblesse retains its original grain and structure. Minor colour nuances and skin blemishes may also occur. Such individual details could lead to slight variations in different parts of the furniture cover. Although the topcoat provides a measure of protection, Noblesse is the most delicate of the leather qualities that Ekornes uses. It absorbs moisture easily, and is more vulnerable to wear and tear, heat, sunlight, spills and perspiration. Regular maintenance is important to keep its attractive appearance.
Important information if you are buying leather furniture:
As leather is a natural product, colour nuances are normal and colours might vary slightly from one product to another. The leather is sensitive to direct sunlight, stains and perspiration, and colour change will occur with time due to use and the effect of light. Marks left by scars and insect bites are a natural feature of leather with natural grain. Remember that furniture should be protected from direct sunlight and heating sources.

The Force is strong with Mark Zuckerberg's little girl!
The 31-year-old Facebook co-founder and CEO posted on the social network on Thursday an adorable "Star Wars"-themed photo of his and wife Priscilla Chan's newborn daughter, Max. She is swaddled in a brown Jedi tunic and gives some wicked side-eye while nestled in between a toy lightsaber and Chewbacca, Darth Vader and BB-8 dolls. The rolling android is introduced in the new film Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which will be released officially on Friday.
"The Force is strong with this one," Zuckerberg wrote about his daughter.

Zuckerberg and Chan, 30, announced the arrival of their daughter, their first child, on Dec. 1, alongside a sweet family pic. He later posted a photo showing him on Daddy diaper duty.

The environmental footprint of a material or a product is best estimated through a life-cycle perspective. LCA approaches (Life Cycle Analysis) take the production phase, the use phase and end-of life recycling into account.
Overall greenhouse gas emissions in the EU 27 have decreased by 17.5 per cent in the years from 1990 to 2011. The steel sector's emissions fell by 25 per cent from 1990 to 2010. The European Union is on its way to meet its climate targets. EU steel producers are among the global leaders not only in technology, but also in climate protection. Currently, they are conducting intensive research for breakthrough technologies which would be able to reduce CO2 emissions from steel making by more than 50 per cent. The research programme called ULCOS (Ultra-Low Carbon dioxide steelmaking) is financed by the European steel industry with support from the European Union. For more information click: http://www.ulcos.org/en/index.php
A life-cycle perspective shows that the use of steel in innovative applications saves more CO2 than is emitted in the production phase. Steel's CO2 Balance is positive. Consultants BCG and German steel institute VdEH have looked into this on behalf of the European steel industry.
Eight case studies serve as proof for steel's potential to protect our climate. They are applications for which steel is essential and its influence on CO2 mitigation is significant. The analysis compares improvements that will be achieved from the year 2030 to the current state-of-the-art. Here are the most prominent examples:
The total CO2 mitigation potential of the eight cases analysed in the study alone is 443 million tonnes a year. This is more than six times as much as the 70 million tonnes of emissions caused by the production of the steels needed in the applications. Go here for the full study.

John Ridgely Carter was born in Baltimore on November 28, 1862. He married Alice Morgan (1865–1933) in 1897. Carter, who was secretary of the U.S. Embassy in London between 1894 and 1909 and U.S. minister to the Balkan States (Bulgaria, Romania, and Serbia) between 1909 and 1911, was painted by John Singer Sargent in 1901. In 1911, he was offered the post of U.S. minister to Argentina, but he refused it on the grounds that, without the government providing him a house, the post would be too expensive for his annual salary of $12,000. It was estimated that Minister Charles Hitchcock Sherrill (1867–1936), whom he would replace and under whom Robert Woods Bliss served as secretary of the legation in Buenos Aires, spent $100,000 yearly to maintain his position. Carter left the diplomatic service and joined the Parisian bank of J. P. Morgan & Cie., where he became a partner in 1914. He died on June 3, 1944.

Kilpatrick Trial: More accusations of pay-to-play
DETROIT – Local 4 is inside the courtroom for the federal corruption trial of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, Kilpatrick's dad Bernard Kilpatrick and his childhood friend Bobby Ferguson. Each day we bring you information from inside federal court as it happens.
8:59AM Friday morning at the federal courthouse and court proceedings in the Kwame Kilpatrick federal corruption trial should be getting underway soon. First up this morning, EPA agent Carol Paszkiewicz on the stand as Mike Rataj, defense lawyer for Bobby Ferguson takes another stab at cross-examination with her. Once that's done, we are on to the Heilmann Recreation Center chapter of the trial.
9:05AM Everyone is in the courtroom and the jury enters.
Mike Rataj takes up cross of Paszkiewizc. Tells the courtroom he has a "very discreet" area to cover and it won't take long. Asks the witness how she's doing. "We'll see," responds the witness alluding to the fact she doesn't know what he has in store for her.
Looking at change order #3 for contract 812c, the alleged pass through contract to Ferguson's company DTF. Mentions changes to security changes to pump stations. D'Agostini & Sons held the contract in name. Rataj already getting feisty with the federal agent.
Rataj saying yesterday the witness testified that the full amount of the contract $3.9 million went to Ferguson. Witness says she didn't change her testimony when she said it was $3.1 million that Ferguson.
Looking at a document from D'Agostini to the DWSD invoicing for $3.1 million. Dated January 10 2006. Rataj says nowhere on that document does it say Ferguson Enterprises. No says the witness.
9:13AM New witness taking stand in the Heilmann chapter. US Attorney Jennifer Blackwell for the government. Johnson Akinwusi is the witness. JOA Construction Company has been his for 20 years. Does commercial construction. they have contracts for the city of Detroit and the federal government. Has built training centers, a levy and dam for the US corps of Engineers as well as several other small projects. In the city of Detroit, did the exterior of the federal building, the secret service office and the FBI's office.
JOA had contracts with Detroit under the Archer administration with the Detroit Building Authority. Worked on the 36th District court and fire stations. Regularly received requests from the Detroit Building Authority and they were on a list of contractors for them. Made campaign contribution to Gil Hill, about $2500, when Hill ran against Kwame in 2001.
Missed a meeting of contractors with the mayor in 2002. Akinwusi says he didn't know about the meeting and never made it.
The witness talked to Larry Albiosu of Fashion International, a friend of the mayor and of the witness's. Told him that he was not getting work in the city and could he help him. Albiosu told him to write a letter to the mayor about what he had done for the city and what he could do. Also told the witness that there were clothes in layaway that he could pay for, including suits for the former mayor. The witness wrote a letter asking to continue doing work with the city of Detroit. Witness also paid for the suits.
Looking at receipt for suit that witness bought at Fashion International and check that he wrote for his suit and layaway. Witness purchased suits for himself on March 11th 2002 worth $3,142. Wrote at check amount on March 11th 2002 for $7,933.38. Difference of $4,800 went toward layaway clothes for mayor Kilpatrick. Witness saying he paid for mayor's suits because he wanted to work for the city of Detroit.
Shortly after, witness got bid proposal for the Heilmann Recreation Center. Before that, witness went to ribbon cutting ceremony at the Erma Henderson Marina. That was a contract he performed under Archer. The event was during the Kilpatrick administration. Witness was approached by Christine Beatty who asked him to contribute towards the Kilpatrick Civic Fund. Witness wrote a check to the KCF on May 28th 2002 for $10,000. Witness says he was asked for that amount by Beatty. "That was the amount I was asked by Christine Beatty to provide," says witness.
The DBA offered bid proposal to JOA for the Heilmann Recreation Center. That was put out for bid in 2003 and it was a design build contract. Heilmann Center located in east side of Detroit. Witness presented with an RFP. The did a joint venture with Xcel Construction, teamed up to design a proposal. Witness had never joint ventured with Xcel before. Ferguson, Calvin Hall and Michael Wodehouse just came to the witness. STG Design was the architect on the project.
9:30AM Wodehouse was aware that the witness had received an RFP but did not say how he knew. The Heilmann contract was for $7 million. The witness knew Wodehouse and he felt that he had a good chance of getting contract. "I knew Bobby and Wodehouse were close to the mayor and I had a better chance with them," says the witness.
Looking at a letter from the DBA. Witness received this letter on June 3rd 2003. Letter said that 5 teams were chosen to be interviewed for project by the evaluation committee including JOA. Each team had 30 minutes for presentation including 15 more minutes for questioning. Ayanna Benson was the head of the committee.
The witness, Sam Allen and David Cypher, witness's operational manager, did the presentation. Wodehouse and Calvin Hall participated for Xcel. Witness says the presentation was calm; there was no anxiety in the interview.
A letter came to the witness's office letting him know they had been selected for the project. Met with Xcel and they decided on the contract and the payment percentages between them. Xcel wanted 36%. Witness says each partner on a venture usually provides employees. Witness says that Xcel did not provide staff, employees on the job. JOA provided the employees- superintendent, project manager- all employees came from JOA. Witness says that in his experience on a joint venture both parties provide employees. JOA also was the sole provider of bonds thus 100% responsible for the job. Ferguson Enterprises provided demolition on the contract. Witness said that initially that wasn't a problem but after felt that given Xcel was a partner felt it was a conflict of interest.
"I didn't want to create any issues that would slow job down," says witness about confronting Ferguson about the conflict of interest. Didn't want to slow down payment to JOA.
Witness was concerned about getting paid by the city. Witness's controller called the city finance department. Witness says that Ferguson had the ability to talk to people processing the payment. Shortly after approaching Ferguson about payment, JOA received it. Looking at payment schedule that went to Xcel and Ferguson. JOA checks that went to Xcel. Total paid to Xcel on Heilmann contract is $161,185. Witness says Xcel basically only came to progress meetings on the job and that's all they did. Date range for checks is October 2003 to June of 2006. Witness says Wodehouse would get to progress meetings.
Blackwell asks witness if he felt Xcel deserved the money. Gerald Evelyn objects. "No I don't think so," says witness. Why did you pay them then says Blackwell.
"We had a contract. I didn't want to get sued so I paid the contract," says the witness. Witness says he abided by the contract. "I didn't want to create waves on the job. If I didn't pay Bobby, the job wouldn't go." Says he means by that payment would be slow coming and his bonds would get pulled.
Witness also made 3 other payments: including one to glass company and 2 to Ferguson Enterprises for demolition of existing building. Blackwell asks if the $161.00 he paid Xcel took away from his profits. Yes says witness. Witness says he got no other projects after the job. Witness supported Kwame in the re-election. Ferguson gave him packet of envelopes that he passed onto sub-contractors for contributions. For the re-election campaign. Total amount that he passed onto to Dave Cypher who gave it to Bobby was more than $32,000. Says he did it to get more work.
9:50AM Witness says he was previously interviewed by the FBI and at first did not mention that he had bought suits for the mayor.
Jim Thomas, Kwame's lawyer, objects and asks for sidebar.
Witness says he didn't tell them because he was scared when they showed up in his office. Witness shutdown JOA in 2007 because he had a stroke. Witness spoke to Wodehouse after he was discharged from hospital about getting more work. Witness also called Ferguson about it. Ferguson said he didn't want to talk to him until he resolved his issues with Wodehouse. Ferguson hung up with him and that was last time they spoke.
9:55AM Evelyn for Ferguson cross-examines witness. Evelyn asks about memory problems due to stroke. Witness says he has none.
Looking at JOA's payment schedule chart. Witness says he told FBI at first that he didn't have all the invoices on the Heilmann project. Witness says these numbers came from his computer.
Witness says he spoke to FBI agents on several occasions. The first time he spoke to them was September 2012. Project took place in 2003 says Evelyn. Then witness spoke to them on October 5th, 24th. Phone call with FBI on October 25th. Met with FBI on November the 9th and December 4th. Met at least 6 or 7 times starting with the September 26th meeting says Evelyn. Witness doesn't recall exact number but thinks it's more than 3.
Evelyn pressing that the first time witness spoke to FBI was fall of this year.
Evelyn talking about enveloped for re-election contributions. Evelyn says witness told FBI initially that it was 2002. Witness says yes he did but then reviewed the matter and realized it was during Kilpatrick's re-election.
Evelyn approaches witness with notes from his interviews with FBI.
Witness says "He (Evelyn) showed me 4. I said 3," about the number of times he met with the FBI.
Evelyn lists 5 meetings. Evelyn going back to the fact witness said initially contributions were in 2002. Witness didn't write a check himself for the re-election campaign contributions, it was just the sub-contractors. Didn't think there was anything illegal about it.
Witness says he got a call from Tyrone Clifton at the DBA to pick up his RFP for the Heilmann project at their offices. Witness says he knows Wodehouse very well and they are friends. Met in 1986 at Bartinelo, a large contractor. Worked together on $66 million in Troy. Evelyn says Wodehouse helped to train witness. Witness says he was his assistant engineer on the Troy project. Witness refusing to concede he was trained by Wodehouse. Witness says he was at Bartinelo 10 years. Started JOA in 1992.
Wodehouse left Bartinelo as well. Wodehouse has a degree in architecture. After they both left Bartinelo, they maintained contact. Evelyn saying that witness asked Wodehouse to work for him. No says witness he had his own company. Witness says that Wodehouse provided computer programming for his company. Witness says that he stopped using Wodehouse as a consultant "many, many years ago."
Witness says he had heard of Xcel, a newer company than his company JOA. Xcel was his first joint venture experience in design/build.
Witness says he would not go onsite on projects all that often.
Evelyn says that Wodehouse approached him for joint venture because JOA had bonding capacity that Xcel did not. Evelyn says that is also why you were getting a much greater percentage of the fee because you were taking the risks. Witness agrees.
10:15AM Witness says he had never heard of architects STG before the Heilmann project.
Evelyn asks witness if he is a black male. "Of course," says the witness about the blatantly obvious. So is Wodehouse and STG is a black company. Evelyn says so Wodehouse was building a minority team. Witness says he doesn't know about that.
Witness saying "being capable is not the only reason to get a job." "You have to have a connection." he says alluding to Wodehouse and Ferguson's connection to the Kilpatrick administration.
Witness says David Cypher lead project executive for JOA on Heilmann project. Evelyn says a Bobby Toliver worked with Xcel on the project. Witness says he heard that. Evelyn says a Richard Duroy was replaced by Kevin Obary on the project.
Witness says that Xcel didn't have people in the field. JOA had only people in the field.
Evelyn saying that witness wasn't at all the progress meetings. Witness says Wodehouse prepared minutes for meetings. So Evelyn how did he prepare those minutes if he wasn't in the field. witness says it's because Wodehose listened to what went on in progress meetings.
Evelyn saying witness had problems with Richard Duroy and Wodehouse had to step in. Witness says that is not accurate.
Evelyn listing all the things that Wodehouse did for the Heilmann project: estimations, budget. JOA says his people did the budget.
10:26AM Judge calls for 20 minute break.
10:46AM The most exciting thing at the courthouse today is Jim Schaefer's "residents of Bloggerville" who have been sitting in the courtroom and observing everyone in the trial. And their observations are great. There are four of them who have watched Ferguson pick his nose during the court proceedings and told Kwame that Cheese Its are not appropriate breakfast material. Jim Thomas apparently threatened to get one of them kicked out of the courthouse for approaching the defendants. Schaefer's groupies also made it to the first floor snack shop where they flanked Local 4's own Kevin Dietz.
10:50AM Evelyn back at cross. Looking at RFP for the Heilmann project.
Distracted from Evelyn's cross by Ferguson picking his nose. I so wish I had not been made aware of that.
The RFP documents stipulate that records must be kept. also that meetings with DBA must be attended.
1.Looking at minutes from June 23rd 2003 for JOA/Xcel kickoff Design/Build meeting. Certain tasks for the meeting are recorded. Lists tasks and the responsible parties assigned to those tasks. Woodhouse assigned.2 task: take site photos and start detailed scheduling after physical needs assessment.
Clearly states on minutes if there is any disagreement with what is on the meetings must be conveyed within 2 days of receipt. SDG people there, Woodhouse there, Ferguson there but witness was not at the kickoff meeting.
2.September 25th 2003 OAM (Owner Architect and Manager) meeting- cost $5.5 million and fee is $1.1 million.
Minutes prepared by Calvin Hall and lists participants of meeting- witness again not at the meeting. Evelyn making a point how could witness know what was going on if he was not at the meetings.
3.Another OAM meeting on October 15th 2003- - lists community advocacy for $65,000. Initially hadn't known whether to renovate existing center or build a whole new one. Ultimately it was decided to build a new one. Evelyn saying that project had community participation in it. Witness agrees. Minutes lists participants and again the witness is not there.
"Of course," says Evelyn about the witness's absence.
4.Another meeting on December 9th 2003 shows progress on the project. List of attendees of all the usual suspects including community development group. No witness again.
5.Another Design/Build meeting in March 22nd 2004. Looking at tasks assignments- tasks assigned to Woodhouse and to Calvin Hall. Witness again not there.
6. Yet another meeting on May 18th 2004. We get it- Xcel did work and the witness didn't go to the meetings. More task assignments for Hall and Woodhouse. And yes, witness was not at the meeting.
7. Another set of minutes with handwritten notes. More assignments for Woodhouse and Hall. Surprise, surprise no witness in attendance. Evelyn says witness was on the distribution list.
8. Another meeting in June 2004. More tasks for Woodhouse and Hall. No witness at the meeting.
Bernard is scribbling on some paper. I wonder what he is doodling has to be more interesting than these minutes.
Evelyn brings out more minutes. Judge Edmunds interrupts and asks for sidebar. Probably asking Evelyn to speed it up. I'm hoping.
Evelyn reads out more meetings- June 2004, November 2004 and August 1st 2006. Apparently we won't be having to go through every single one.
11:30AM Looking at list of attendees on walk-through of Heilmann project. Even Christine Beatty is there but witness is not.
Evelyn asks if this was not important enough for him to participate in. Witness says he had other people working on it and he had 13 or 14 other contracts going on at the time.
Document on DBA letterhead from August 26th 2004. Says that JOA/Xcel has not provided sub-contractors contracts. Evelyn saying no one could get paid until those contracts are signed and JOA was responsible for it. Again, witness did not attend but other employees of JOA did. Witness says he was not at the meeting but was copied on everything related to the job. Witness is saying that the contracts were not done because SDG, the architects, hadn't drawn up plans.
Evelyn saying that woodhouse had to step up and participate because the project was lagging. Witness says this is not true.
More meeting minutes from April 14th 2006, lists things that needed to get done for completion date of May 16th 2006. Lists several sub-contractors with issues that need to be resolved. Evelyn saying this indicates that Woodhouse had to get more involved because JOA was not doing his job.
Judge asks Evelyn to move it along.
11:40AM More minutes with items requiring resolution.
Evelyn says this is all being driven by Woodhouse.
Blackwell objects. Judge overrules.
"No that's not true," says the witness.
Again, Evelyn driving home the point that Xcel ended up doing more work than anticipated when Woodhouse had to step in.
Later meeting minutes shows that many items are completed or in progress. Lists about 17 sub-contractors who have been contacted. Minutes are prepared by Woodhouse.
Witness says Woodhouse took meeting minutes. Implying that's all he did and did not drive the meetings.
Sidebar called.
Evelyn asks for 5 minute break. Judge agrees.
12:00PM Evelyn promises he is almost finished. Says during break he showed witness documents to review. Evelyn says they were all prepared by Bobby Toliver of Xcel. Range from April 2006 through May 2006.
Looking at an RFI (Request for Information) from Bobby Toliver to JOA. It's a response to a question on a trench drain.
The witness fired David Cypher in 2004. Evelyn says the problems that required the witness to fire him impeded the progress of the project. The witness disagrees.
Evelyn discussing witness's friendship with Woodhouse. Saying that the witness called up Woodhouse this fall. Witness says he did not call him but that Woodhouse visited him in his office.
Evelyn asks if witness is still frightened by the FBI visit. Witness says no. Evelyn saying that witness asked to borrow $5,000 from Woodhouse. Witness says no. Evelyn tells witness under oath. Witness says he doesn't remember asking for it but he did not get $5,000.
12:10PM Jim Thomas cross-examines for Kwame Kilpatrick.
Thomas asking about when FBI agents approached the witness. Witness says he was alone at his office. Witness says he was alone at the meeting and was scared.
Witness agrees that he was asked about questions about Kilpatrick's administration.
Thomas says witness told FBI about dealings with Kilpatrick and asked if he gave anything of value to people of city government. Thomas saying that witness told them he did not give the city money. Thomas also saying it was the FBI who brought up a rumor about the witness sending an envelope with money to a clothing store. Witness agrees that he never told them about a purchase of clothing for Kilpatrick at that interview. Also told them he didn't give any money.
"Are you having problems remembering things?," asks Thomas. Evelyn prodded witness's memory as well. Defense seems to think all witnesses must suffer from dementia.
Thomas asking about a Christmas party that witness threw in 2001. Kilpatrick was not invited but he went with Larry Alebiosu. Witness had contracts with city of Detroit under Archer at that time: Erma Henderson Marina amongst them. Thomas says witness wasn't taken off of any projects after Kilpatrick took office. No says witness.
Talking about the Erma Henderson Marina ribbon cutting ceremony. Both witness and Kilpatrick were there.
Thomas asks if witness took part in any of the other 7 park projects aside from Heilmann during Kilpatrick's administration. Witness says yes on several small ones.
Witness says he was at a police ceremony ribbon cutting ceremony possibly in 2003. Both witness and Kilpatrick there.
Thomas saying that witness helped in Manoogian Mansion renovation in 2002 and 2003. Witness agrees.
Witness says he got a message in 2002 from his secretary saying Kilpatrick's secretary called to request he go meet with the mayor. Witness did not go.
Witness says he did meet with mayor in Ferguson's office in 2002.
Looking at mayor's agenda for July 29th 2003 lists a 4pm meeting in Bernard White's office with Ferguson, JOA.
Thomas saying that with all this contact he did not need Larry Alebiosu to facilitate meeting mayor. Witness says that is not correct.
Thomas talking about JOA's $10,000 contribution to KCF. Thomas saying that was done freely and voluntarily. Witness agrees.
Thomas saying that witness had ability to communicate easily with mayor. Witness disagrees.
Witness agrees there was nothing corrupt in giving KCF money.
Going back to witness meetings with the FBI where they asked questions about the payment of Kilpatrick's suits. In an October 5th meeting this year at the FBI offices, the witness discussed the $32,000 he got from sub-contractors for Kilpatrick's re-election campaign. Witness agrees he has no reason to believe that the money didn't go to the campaign.
12:35PM Ferguson leaning over at the defendants' table as he whispers to Kwame.
Looking at bills from Fashion International. Witness says these were the bills shown to him by the FBI. Witness says he goes to Fashion International to buy his clothing. First invoice from March 11th 2002 for $3,142, second for $3,817 and third $2,141. Witness acknowledges that he spends thousands of dollars on suits. Some of the bills indicate layaway.
Thomas says no one asked you to pay for the mayor's suits. Witness says Larry advised him. Thomas says but mayor never called to thank him for the suits. Witness agrees. Thomas says that at one point he told the federal agents that since he never heard a thank you from the mayor, he thought maybe Larry had pocketed the money. Witness agrees that he did.
Witness says he told the FBI multiple times he did not pay for the mayor's suits but ultimately told the suits.
Thomas stressing that the federal agents told the witness what they were looking to with regards to the mayor's suits.
Thomas saying that witness told FBI that he found out from Larry the tailor that the Kilpatrick administration was not happy with him. Thomas also saying that we don't have the letter that the witness allegedly sent Kilpatrick at the tailor's suggestion.
Thomas takes a document to the witness and trips.
"No more tripping please," says the judge.
Looking at bill from Fashion International for the witness's suits on March 11th 2002. Says transaction "lay" meaning layaway.
"Are you capable of making mistakes as relates to times and places," asks Thomas.
Witness says that everyone makes mistakes.
Thomas is done. US Attorney Jennifer Blackwell says she has redirect but it is more than 10 minutes so maybe she should continue Monday morning. Judge agrees and adjourns court for the week.
We'll be back Monday at 9am.

Somewhere in Mother Russia, a cat decided to use a spring as a hiding place instead of a paper bag or under your recently dry cleaned clothes. It wouldn't have ended well for the cat where it not for the help of some strangers.
Fortunately, a team of expert mechanics managed to get the part out, freeing the kitten from its curvy prison. Still, that was a close one!
Homer Simpson approves.

For a short video/audio introduction to the composition program, visit our Vimeo page, here.
The music composition program at Luther College offers opportunities for students from across campus to learn about and practice the art of composition.
Most students begin composition instruction in their junior year, though some students begin in their first or second year. The first course students take is Music 238: Composition Workshop, a weekly seminar in which students explore a variety of musical ideas and create several small-scale compositions. This course is offered every fall. In subsequent semesters, students may elect to take private lessons (Music 338: Composition, Private Lesson) usually for 30 minutes per week.
A variety of upper-level elective courses round out the composition program: Electro-acoustic music, Modal Counterpoint, Orchestration, and Analytic Techniques. These courses are each offered every other year and are usually taken during students' junior or senior years. Many composition students also elect to create a large-scale composition as their senior project.
At least one concert of student compositions is organized each semester. Many students also have their compositions performed on individual student recitals. Occasionally, student compositions are performed by one of the large ensembles on campus.
This semiannual concert series features contemporary music performed by Luther faculty, students, and guest artists. Typically, concerts feature works by living local and international composers as well as classic works from the 20th century.
At least once per semester, guest composers visit Luther to present their work to composition students; often, their music is featured on the Music in the Shape of a Pear concert series. Usually, guests are also available to meet individually with composition students.
For more information on the composition program at Luther, specifically for those students who wish to concentrate their studies in composition, visit the links provided in the sidebar menu.

Following clients' request, two Polish architects Przemek Kaczkowski and Ola Targonska have recently realised this striking single family house which is devoid of any stairs. Located in a residential area of Poland's fourth largest city, Wroclaw, the 253-square-meters detached development consists of two distinctive space concepts: a street-facing, wood-clad 'public' part and a 'private' area which overlooks the garden and where all of house's three bedrooms are located.
More about the project:
'The "T"-shaped plan clearly reflects the distribution of uses within the house. The long wing visible from the street accommodates the common, "public" spaces of the house. The "public" wing features a slanted ceiling, adding to the feeling of openness and spaciousness. Behind the side wall of the living room, connected by a two-sided fireplace, is a "home cinema", a space for watching films and listening to music, with acoustically clad walls and an incorporated screen. The kitchen is at the heart of the plan and is also a transition space between the living room and the wing of the house where bedrooms are located.'
'The three bedrooms also open to the terrace and the garden with full-height sliding windows, though sneaking into the rooms from outside requires jumping above a narrow strip of water – a gesture towards granting more privacy to these spaces. The row of bedrooms features a bathroom at each end, and the corridor along this wing is lit from above by square skylights.'
'The only part of the house without natural daylight, a strip between the garage and the private wing, houses a technical room and another toilet for guests.'

WASHINGTON – Prince George's County police are still looking for clues after they say a man led a 7-year-old girl into the woods and sexually assaulted her Saturday.
The suspect is described as a balding, older white man with a heavy build and a gray goatee. The apartment complex was busy at the time and police say witnesses could offer more details to help them find the suspect.
"We feel confident that there were people out here who may have seen something or heard something," says Prince George's County spokeswoman Julie Parker.
The Prince George's County Police Department says the girl was assaulted around 3 p.m. Saturday, June 22 on Heathermore Boulevard, in the Marlton neighborhood of Upper Marlboro.
The child was playing with friends on a scooter when she broke away from the group, police said in a Monday afternoon press conference.
"As she did so, a stranger approached her from the woods and threatened her at gunpoint," Parker said.
Two dozen police cadets scoured the ground in a line Monday, looking for evidence the suspect may have left behind. It is the fourth police search since the assault.

Russia Bans Profanity — Why Don't We?
Bryan Fischer
Vladimir Putin is making news again, this time by banning foul language in Russia. According to CNN, he signed off this week on a new law that "bans swearing at arts, cultural and entertainment events" in the country. In the Kremlin's words, the new measure "bans the use of obscene language." While Putin is wrong on Ukraine, he's right on profanity.
You make a film with obscene language in Russia, you won't even be able to show it in a theater. Books, CDs and DVDs that contain profanity will have to be distributed in a sealed package with a visible warning label.
Violators are subject to fine of $70, while potty-mouthed officials can be dinged to the tune of $40 and businesses that are guilty can face fines of up to $1400.
The new law, scheduled to go into effect on July 1, echoes the prohibition against blasphemy found in the Ten Commandments ("You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain") and will provide another example in which Russia's public policy conforms more closely to biblical standards than Christian America.
Could a similar ban be instituted in the United States without violating the First Amendment? Of course. The free speech plank of the First Amendment was intended by the Founders to protect political speech, not profanity, vulgarity, obscenity or pornography.
The Founders were eager to ensure that the new republic would be characterized by robust political dialogue on all matters of public policy. All would be free to inject their ideas and convictions into public debate without fear that they would be censored and silenced by a draconian central government.
But the Founders would be aghast at the thought that anyone, anywhere, at any time would think they were crafting a document intended to allow the unlimited use of the F-bomb in polite society. If states want to ban foul language in public, under the Constitution as written (not as mangled by the courts) they are perfectly free to do so.
George Washington was known for prohibiting the use of profanity in his military. Said our first commander-in-chief and father of our country, "The foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing is a vice so mean and low that every person of sense and character detests and despises it."
As General George Washington, he issued the following general order (not a recommendation, you will note):
The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice hitherto little known in our American Army is growing into fashion. He hopes that the officers will, by example as well as influence, endeavor to check it and that both they and the men will reflect that we can little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our army if we insult it by our impiety and folly. Added to this it is a vice so mean and low without any temptation that every man of sense and character detests and despises it. (Emphasis mine.)
At the time the First Amendment was enacted, there were laws against public profanity and blasphemy in every one of the original states, either by statute or common law. The Founders quite obviously saw no contradiction between the First Amendment and laws against profanity, for the simple reason that the Amendment was about protecting political speech, not gutter talk.
Massachusetts still has a law on its books – you could look it up – that prohibits blasphemy against God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures.
It reads:
Section 36. Whoever wilfully blasphemes the holy name of God by denying, cursing or contumeliously reproaching God, his creation, government or final judging of the world, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching Jesus Christ or the Holy Ghost, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching or exposing to contempt and ridicule, the holy word of God contained in the holy scriptures shall be punished by imprisonment in jail for not more than one year or by a fine of not more than three hundred dollars, and may also be bound to good behavior.
To give another example, Pennsylvania's law against profanity was drawn up by James Wilson, a signer of the Constitution and one of the original justices of the Supreme Court.
And in 1811, while the ink was barely dry on the First Amendment, the New York Supreme Court upheld the conviction of a man who had publicly proclaimed that "Jesus Christ was a bastard, and his mother must be a whore."
Such laws were rarely enforced because they were rarely needed. But they were there because there are occasions in which public eruptions of vulgarity need to be restrained for the public good.
There are de facto prohibitions against swearing that governments enforce all the time. Profanity is will be punished in the classrooms of our government schools, for instance, and decorum does not allow profanity in legislative assemblies without severe repercussions. Try cussing out a cop and see what happens.
Few would doubt that a profanity-free culture would be better than the one we have now. As AFA's president Tim Wildmon has pointed out, nobody walks out of a movie saying, "You know, that movie would have been so much better if they'd only thrown more cussing in there."
The point here is not to advocate for any particular expression of this principle. The point here is that if want to ban profanity, we can. In the name of free speech, let the discussion begin.

ABC's freshman series Once Upon a Time came to Comic-Con as TV's highest rated new drama and entertained their growing fan base. The presentation opened up with an extended sequence of the title cards used over the last season, each of which features a nod to which character or fairy tale will be featured in that episode. The panel, which included creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, also talked about characters and storylines in the upcoming second season. Stars attending included Jennifer Morrison, Josh Dallas, Ginnifer Goodwin, Lana Parilla, Meghan Ory and Emilie de Ravin. Hit the jump for the full panel recap and be sure to click here for all of our continuing coverage of Comic-Con.
Once Upon a Time, which began filming its second season today, followed up the clip sequence with a brief Q&A with Kitsis and Horowitz. They commented on the tagline, "Magic is coming," and only gave hints as to what it may mean, talking about the cross-over between Storybrooke and the fairy tale world. They did talk about fans meeting characters from Disney's Mulan (with Jamie Chung being recently cast as the princess) as well as the fact that Maleficent (Kristin Bauer van Straten) may or may not be dead. The executive producers also mention that season one of Once Upon a Time will be released on DVD/Blu-ray on August 28th.
With that, we move into a special short by a new sponsor. It's a commercial for "Singlebrooke," a dating service for citizens of Storybrooke. The tongue-in-cheek video was a nice nod to fans as it featured each of the characters from the show talking about who their ideal mate would be (admittedly, most of the jokes were over my head as I'm not a regular viewer). The character Dr. Whale, played by David Anders) was featured in the clip and Kitsis and Horowitz said his identity would be revealed in the upcoming season.
The panel then took the stage for a Q&A:
Are there plans to do a musical episode?
Dallas actually sings. Kitsis quips that he wants to do a musical episode on ice.
How do you feel about the storylines in the upcoming season?
Goodwin: As an audience member, it's exactly what I want to see. It's more than I could ever hope for.
Morrison: Question about meeting her foster parents, says she's not sure if they'll see her past like they've seen other characters' pasts.
Kitsis: More interested in who Henry's father is.
Horowitz: Season two will definitively show who Henry's father is.
Morrison: I know who it is and people will be very excited to see that storyline. We had discussed it early on in the pilot. Obviously Emma knows who it is…I hope. The answer came from my character's backstory.
Kitis and Horowitz won't confirm whether it's someone we've met before.
Kitsis and Horowitz: Season two will explore why certain things crossed over between worlds. The show won't change from last year; it'll move forward into deeper characters and explore their relationships along the way.
How was filming the epic fight scene between you two? Did you use stunt doubles?
Morrison and Parilla: No stunt doubles for their final confrontation. All our bruises were real but they were mostly self-inflicted.
Parilla: It was fun and I felt like a real badass.
Does anyone else have injury stories?
Goodwin: In the third episode of the first season, when Charming is tying Snow White up with rope, a rope conveniently covers my eye because I had just returned from getting stitches at the hospital.
Parilla does a line from the show in the Queen's voice, "I will destroy you if it is the last thing I do." [Tomorrow is LP's birthday and the Comic-Con crowd sings "Happy Birthday" for her.]
Parilla Comments on the Evil Regals, her gang, her posse, who she talks with through Twitter.
Goodwin: @GinnyGoodwin followers are The Fairest
Dallas: @JoshDallas fans are The Charmers
With magic coming to Storybrooke, can Ruby [Ory] turn into a wolf?
Ory's non-committal about the answer. Says she might feast on Dr. Whale first. She talks about the red streak, a hair clip-in.
For Emilie, of all your Lost co-stars, who would you bring to Storybrooke?
De Ravin: Probably Terry O'Quinn.
Possible upcoming characters: Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Goofy (who may be Henry's father)
Unlikely upcoming characters: Cruella De Ville, Winnie the Pooh
Are the actors more like their Storybrooke characters or Fairy Tale characters?
Parilla wishes she was more like her character, although children do run from her…and some adults, too.
Goodwin: More like Mary Margaret than Snow.
Ory: I do turn into a wolf some nights.
Favorite fairy tales growing up:
Kitsis: Peter Pan because I never want to grow up.
Horowitz: Snow White, the movie terrified me and it stuck with me forever.
Morrison: Tie between Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland.
Dallas: Pinnochio, first one he ever saw.
Goodwin: Snow White, honestly. She was "the" brunette princess.
Parilla: Hansel and Gretel, because I couldn't eat candy and I was jealous.
Ory: The Little Mermaid and Peter Pan, because I either wanted to be under the water or flying through the sky.
De Ravin: I never watched those movies, I watched strange things like Hitchcock films and documentaries. I did watch Pippi Longstocking.
Do you plan to use the storyline from Something Wicked This Way Comes?
Kitsis and Horowitz: No plans for incorporating that, but we're always happy to steal it.
What fairy tale or urban legend would you most like to adapt and how would you spin it?
Kitsis and Horowitz: The show itself is really the fairy tale that we love, with finding ways to mash-up and incorporate the stories we grew up loving.
For de Ravin, who plays Belle, opposite the Beast, what does inner beauty mean to her?
De Ravin: Inner beauty to me is how people give their gift to the world.
Kitsis and Horowitz recognize the writing team in the room and the crowd applauds. They then thank the fans. They close out the panel with a clip from season two: a shadowy character breaks into a shop and smashes a display case to steal a hook, which he fastens onto the end of his arm. The crowd goes bananas. Bang-a-rang!

LOGAN, Utah (AP) — A Utah man injured in a car crash while returning home with an engagement ring for his girlfriend died Sunday night.
The family of Adam Goodsell, 32, announced his death in a post on a Facebook page that had been used to update his condition. Goodsell died nine days after he suffered severe head injuries after his vehicle rolled near Wellsville, Utah, about 75 miles north of Salt Lake City.
"Adam has returned to his heavenly father and mother. Rest In Peace Adam! You will always be in our hearts. We love you and are grateful to have had you in our lives," the post reads.
Family members have not responded to phone messages by The Associated Press.
The accident happened while Goodsell was returning to his home in Preston, Idaho, after purchasing an engagement ring for his girlfriend. Emergency crews found the ring in a puddle after the vehicle was towed.
Goodsell's father gave the ring to the woman, Goldie Chaney, while Goodsell was hospitalized.
In a 911 call prior to the accident, Goodsell told a dispatcher that the brakes on his Land Rover had failed and the ignition pedal was stuck.
"Yes, I am, uh, coming out of Sardine Canyon; my brakes went out; my gas pedal is stuck ..." Goodsell told the dispatcher.
The dispatcher asked for more information, but the call was cut off.
Emergency crews arrived to find the vehicle rolled into a ditch 50 yards from the edge of the road.
Utah Highway Patrol officials say the Land Rover was traveling at about 80 mph when it drove to the right side of the road, then veered to the left and hit a concrete barrier, then traveled right again and rolled off the highway.
Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Cory Thomas told The Logan Herald Journal after the accident that he found he'd seen a small gift bag inside the wrecked vehicle when he first went searching for insurance information. But by the time he was told there might be a diamond ring inside, a tow truck was already starting to pull the Land Rover from the ditch.
Thomas told emergency workers to keep an eye out for a pink or maroon bag scattered among the debris that spanned four travel lanes. Moments later, firefighters spotted the bag in the waters of the ditch.
The ring was still inside.

There was a red-hot movie -- finally -- at the box office.
And by box office, we mean, at a handful of theaters in New York and Los Angeles.
"Resident Evil: Retribution" was the movie nation's overall No. 1 film, per Friday-Sunday estimates, grossing $21.1 million from more than 3,000 screens.
U.S. & World
"Beginning of end" for Resident Evil franchise
Domestically, the debut was more of the so-so same for the slumping Hollywood. It was about $5 million under that of the last "Resident Evil" installment, 2010's "Afterlife," and was the smallest yet for a sequel in the sci-fi franchise.
Internationally, the film cleaned up, opening bigger than "The Avengers" in Japan, and scoring $50 million overall overseas. Add it up, and the film's worldwide debut hit $71.1 million.
Back on the homefront, the "Finding Nemo 3-D" re-release was another mild disappointment. The Pixar classic grossed $17.5 million from some 2,900 locations, a far cry from the $30 million-plus made by the 3-D re-release of "The Lion King" in the same weekend last year.
The real juice, meanwhile, came via Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master."
The Oscar buzz film, which was inspired by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, but is "not a Scientology movie," per star Philip Seymour Hoffman, grossed $729,745 at five theaters, Exhibitor Relations reported.
Its per-screen average, of about $146,000, was the 11th-biggest for any film ever, per BoxOfficeMojo.com stats.
"The Master" wins, then loses, top prize at Venice
Elswhere, "The Dark Knight Rises" ($2.1 million; $441 million overall domestically) slipped from the Top 10 after a eight-week run that was blockbuster, but ultimately marred by tragedy. Its predecessor, "The Dark Knight," remained in the rankings for 10 weeks, collecting $521 million while it was there.
Here's a complete look at the weekend's top movies, per Friday-Sunday domestic estimates as reported by the studios and Exhibitor Relations:
"Resident Evil: Retribution," $21.1 million "Finding Nemo," $17.5 million "The Possession," $5.8 million "Lawless," $4.2 million "ParaNorman," $3.04 million "The Expendables 2," $3 million "The Words," $2.9 million "The Bourne Legacy," $2.88 million "The Odd Life of Timothy Green," $2.5 million "The Campaign," $2.4 million

EAST STROUDSBURG — Megan Burns scored 20 points off the bench and Krystina Agard had 17 points and 11 rebounds to lead four players in double figures as Concordia (N.Y.) posted a 78-67 win over East Stroudsburg University on the second day of the 48th annual Pocono Classic at Koehler Fieldhouse on Sunday.
EAST STROUDSBURG — Megan Burns scored 20 points off the bench and Krystina Agard had 17 points and 11 rebounds to lead four players in double figures as Concordia (N.Y.) posted a 78-67 win over East Stroudsburg University on the second day of the 48th annual Pocono Classic at Koehler Fieldhouse on Sunday.
Senior forward Fayola Moise had a career-high 23 points along with eight rebounds, and sophomore forward Jessica Martin tied her career-high with 22 points and added 11 rebounds for ESU (1-2).
Martin was named the Pocono Classic MVP for the second straight season, with 36 points, 23 rebounds, six blocks and six steals over the two games. She had 14 points, 12 rebounds, five blocks and four steals in the win over Caldwell.
Martin is the second two-time recipient of the MVP award, joining Stacy Perryman, who was recognized as a freshman in 1992-93 and junior in 1994-95.
The All-Tournament team was comprised of Martin, Moise, Agard, Ashle Freeman and Danielle Ferguson of Virginia Union and Jeanette Anderson of Caldwell.
Agard and Burns were both 10-for-10 at the foul line as Concordia (1-7) set a tournament record for made free throws, going 28-for-32. The Clippers were 25-for-28 at the line in the second half.
ESU shot 11-for-17 from the 3-point line against Caldwell, but did not have the same success Sunday, going 4-for-21 from behind the arc. The Warriors shot 33.8 percent (23-for-68) overall and 19-for-47 (40.4 percent) from two-point range.
ESU used a 7-0 run to pull within three (42-39) on a jumper by sophomore guard Ryann Fiascki with 15:24 left in the second half, but Concordia scored seven of the next eight points to hold off the Warriors.
Martin had her second straight double-double and sixth of her career. She tied her career-high of 22 points against Mansfield last season.
Moise surpassed her career-high of 17 points in a win at Cheyney last year and had 12 points, five rebounds and five assists in the win over Caldwell on Saturday. She finished the tournament with 35 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists.
Sophomore forward Kelsey Murray added seven points, four rebounds and two steals off the bench. Fiascki had two points, four rebounds and five assists, senior guard Barb Borst scored six points and junior guard Andrea Veres had five. Veres scored 19 points and was 5-for-6 from 3-point range against Caldwell.
Moise and Martin are the first ESU teammates to score 20 points in a game since Borst (23) and Veres (20) did it in a 78-63 win over Mansfield in February 2011.

BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Sunday that Greece's creditors may look at writing down more of its debt but not before the current bailout program has run its course.
Last Tuesday Euro zone finance ministers and the IMF approved a package of measures including interest rate reductions and an extension of repayment periods aimed at cutting Greece's public debt to 124 percent of national output by 2020.
Germany insists a writedown of Greek debt held by euro zone governments would be illegal, though Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble has also recently signaled that some kind of debt 'haircut' for official lenders might be needed eventually.
"If Greece one day handles its revenues again without taking on new debt, then we must take a look at the situation and assess it. That is not going to happen before 2014/2015 if all goes to plan," Merkel told the Bild am Sonntag newspaper.
The prospect of the German government taking a 'haircut' on the Greek debt it holds is politically risky for Merkel ahead of next year's federal elections when she will seek a third term.
Germans would see such a writedown as a move towards a 'transfer union' whereby richer northern European nations bankroll southern ones they consider indisciplined.
In her interview, Merkel denied suggestions that Germany's election timetable was the reason for ruling out a writedown of Greek debt at this stage, saying that Greece now had an extra two years until 2016 to meet tough fiscal goals.
Private creditors took a big haircut earlier this year. The International Monetary Fund and many economists say euro zone governments will also have to suffer losses before Greece's debt can be brought down to a sustainable level.
Merkel reiterated her view that pushing Greece out of the euro zone - a scenario favored by a eurosceptic minority in her centre-right coalition - would prove far more costly than the bailout program.
"We should avoid all instability," she said.
Germany's lower house of parliament, the Bundestag, approved the latest Greek bailout on Friday despite growing disquiet about the costs of the euro zone crisis to taxpayers.
Merkel did not manage to draw an absolute majority from her own ranks after 23 of her lawmakers rebelled.

No good deed goes unpunished, or at least that's the case with the rapper T.I. After reportedly talking a man down from committing suicide earlier this week, the Grammy Award-winning artist was ordered back to prison for 11 months.
According to MSNBC, T.I. –alias Clifford Harris Jr.—had a strict probation. He couldn't commit any more crimes, and had to submit to at least three drug tests, as well as do community service and enter a drug and alcohol treatment program. The trouble started last month, when T.I. was found with illegal drugs.
At the hearing, T.I. pled a convincing case, saying that he wanted to get clean. "If I can get the treatment and counseling I need…I can beat this," he said, according to U.S. Attorney Spokesman Patrick Crosby (all media was barred from the courtroom by the judge).
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Most famous, perhaps, for his breakout hit "Live Your Life," featuring Rihanna, T.I. won't be allowed to live his to for the next eleven month. According to MSNBC, T.I. had submitted diluted urine samples and had used ecstasy several times since being released.
E! reports that the rapper will surrender voluntarily, but it is unknown when this will happen.
So let that be a lesson to us all. Though some good kismet on your side is always a plus, it will still not enough to keep you out of the slammer.
