Ashley Butler is a 27-year old character voiced by Traci Godfrey in Grand Theft Auto IV and The Lost and Damned. She is the ex "old lady" of the Vice-President of The Lost Brotherhood, Johnny Klebitz. She is a known associate of Pegorino Family capo Ray Boccino. The Liberty City Police Department believe she is a link between the Pegorino Family and The Lost Brotherhood. She has been arrested once, in 2001, for being in possession of a controlled substance (namely, cocaine).
Ashley had a relationship with Ray Boccino. Ray used this to his advantage when he convinced Ashley to use The Lost to steal several diamonds from Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince. In the GTA IV mission Taking in the Trash, he seemed to care about her and her addiction.
After completion of The Lost and Damned's storyline, if Johnny calls Ashley, she'll ask for forty dollars. Johnny declines, saying that she can kill herself on her own. She e-mails Johnny once more. The e-mail says that she checked into rehab, and is doing well. Johnny wishes her good luck but also tells her to stay away from him. A few in-game days later, she sends Johnny another email reluctantly confessing that she was booted out of the rehab facility and asking Johnny for yet more money, to which Johnny reinforces his wishes for her to stop contacting him. She is not heard or seen from again after this point.
The player can also occasionally call her after certain missions to hear her input on what's going on in the game's storyline.

Some Terrebonne teachers say they are under-appreciated by the communities they serve.
Some Terrebonne teachers say they are under-appreciated by the communities they serve.
A panel designed to determine the needs of the Terrebonne Parish school system heard passionate remarks from teachers Thursday.
After the first two meetings of the task force involved little public participation and an in-depth review of the school system's financial situation, the third meeting was relatively calm until teachers questioned the public's support.
The task force, a panel of 15 members, is charged with mapping out the needs of the school system and determining ways to finance them. The panel was formed in July after the School Board and Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce decided that was the best way to remedy some of the roadblocks the board hit when it tried to pass a 31-mill property tax and more than quadruple its current rate.
The proposal, which would have raised an estimated $25 million more a year for building improvements, pay raises and other items, failed in May by a 76 percent to 24 percent vote.
Beth Bajon, an English teacher at Ellender Memorial High School and 27-year teaching veteran, said morale was at an all-time low following the spring election.
Bajon said opponents of the millage spent time and money on billboards, message boards and social media campaigning against the schools and teachers. This left the teaching community feeling "vilified."
"There was a sense among the teaching force that the community did not value us," she said. "What was so difficult for teachers to accept was the negative attitude toward us."
In the previous meetings, the panel has expressed concern over the inability to retain teachers. Bajon said the poor public perception has made teachers feel unwanted.
"When you realize that there are that many people that are openly hostile to you, it makes you really think about whether or not you should stay," she said.
Harold Suire, president of Education, Research and Information Services in Baton Rouge and the panel's facilitator, said it was up to the school system to provide a better image for the teachers.
"Our schools and teachers are doing a good job," he said.
Bajon and other teachers in attendance said if the panel wants to develop a clear solution, teacher input is a must.
Suire encouraged teachers to email him at email@example.com or other task force members about their concerns with the schools. Those concerns will be presented anonymously, but any teacher who is not willing to give a name should not comment, Suire said.
The input by the teachers in attendance reaffirmed why the panel was put together, said Jennifer Armand, who chairs the panel.
"It's just confirming what we all know, that these teachers teach for the love of the students and love of education, and I think that's what the passion demonstrated," she said.
During the main portion of the meeting, the panel heard 45-minute presentations from Christa Lagarde, director of the Terrebonne Sales and Use Tax Department, and Terrebonne Tax Assessor Loney Grabert.
Lagarde's presentation focused on the history of the sales tax in the parish and how it has affected the School Board. Grabert explained what he and his department do and how much the parish and School Board receive in tax money each year.
Both presentations showed an increase in revenue in each of the last four years.
Armand said the information presented during the meeting will provide a good base for the panel as it begins to identify possible solutions.
Before turning to the audience for input, Suire recapped the panel's first three meetings by critiquing the school system's job of marketing itself.
Taking in major talking points from the previous meetings, Suire said the school system needs to be more specific on how it plans to spend money.
Suire reminded the panel that the schools don't have a public relations team, and it is part of the panel's job to help them compile information to present publicly.
Surie assigned the panel members some homework before their next meeting. Each member received an information packet that included the schools' presentation to the public about what it would do if the 31-mill plan had passed.
The panelists assignment is to come back with solutions stemming from that list.
"I don't want negative comments. I want solutions," Suire said.
The panel will meet again at 4 p.m. Nov. 18 at the North Terrebonne Library.

The School of Music, housed in Duerksen Fine Arts Center, has developed programs in music education, music performance, pedagogy, history/literature, theory/composition, and conducting which are significant in size and quality and are highly acclaimed throughout the nation. In part, this is due to Wichita State's urban setting, affording cultural diversity with excellent opportunities for faculty and students.
Performers of woodwind instruments may pursue one of three degree programs: Bachelor of Music Education, Bachelor of Music in performance, or Bachelor of Arts with an emphasis on liberal arts courses. These programs combine performance with musical development, including teaching of music and the general education component of university studies.
Music performance graduates of Wichita State have the basic credentials for graduate-level performance programs and successful performance careers. Music education graduates are prepared for teaching positions in preschools to high schools. Graduates with the BA have a generalist degree, combining a music emphasis with a background in traditional liberal arts.
Performance Opportunities
Both individual performance skills and ensemble experience are central to the woodwind degree programs at Wichita State. The School of Music offers an excellent variety of performance opportunities through a wide range of large and small ensembles. including two concert bands, a symphony orchestra, two jazz ensembles, and athletic bands.
Music Faculty
Faculty members in the School of Music are artists/teachers with significant professional training and experience. Their successful careers span all facets of the professional world. Moreover, they are committed to the personal musical development of each individual. Students also have opportunity to attend frequent woodwind master classes and performances by internationally known guest artists in solo and chamber recitals.
Incoming freshmen and transfer students are required to audition for admittance into the School of Music. All Kansas high school graduates are eligible to apply for admission into one of the woodwind degree programs. Applicants must have adequate performance background and must audition prior to enrollment in the program. Transfer students must satisfy music performance and academic expectations relative to then- levels at the time of transfer.
Related Opportunities
There are many work-related opportunities in the City of Wichita for students to earn extra income and gain valuable experience as musicians and teachers. They serve as private instructors, solo performers, members of jazz and pop ensembles, as well as members of community, and metropolitan orchestras. Students may also audition for the Wichita Symphony Orchestra as vacancies occur.
Students are encouraged to participate in organizations such as Collegiate Music Educators National Conference and Student Music Teachers Association. As well as Sigma Alpha Iota. Mu Phi Epsilon. Kappa Kappa Psi, or Tau Beta Sigma.

In the Life "Becoming Me"
screening Tuesday, June 5th, Windsor Park Branch Library 7 pm. Get more details
airs Tuesday, June 12th at 10:30 pm
Is it a boy or a girl? Many parents learn the answer before their baby is born, and most expect their children to develop a gender identity that mirrors biological sex within their first few years. But for transgender and gender nonconforming children, gender identity unfolds throughout childhood, adolescence and into early adulthood. Eight families with transgender and gender non-conforming children ranging in ages from 5 to 25 share their stories. With the healthy development of their children at stake, parents must confront binary perceptions of gender, widespread transphobia and controversial parenting decisions.
The Grove
airs Wednesday, June 13th at 9 pm
More Americans have been lost to AIDS than in all the U.S. wars since 1900. And the pandemic has killed 22 million people worldwide. But few know about the existence of the National AIDS Memorial, a seven-acre grove hidden in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. THE GROVE chronicles this garden's transformation from a neglected eyesore to landscaped sanctuary to national memorial. The film shows how a community in crisis found healing and remembrance, and how the seeds of a few visionary environmentalists blossomed into something larger than they could have imagined. But as the Grove's stakeholders seek broader public recognition through an international design competition, a battle erupts over what constitutes an appropriate memorial for the AIDS pandemic. What does it mean to be a national memorial? And how do we mark a time of unimaginable loss?
Independent Lens "We Were Here"
airs Thursday, June 14th at 9 pm
Independent Lens premieres "We Were Here." When AIDS came to San Francisco in the early 1980s, the city became a war zone. But the community came together when the nation's leaders looked the other way and built an unprecedented system of love, care and compassion, becoming an inspiration around the country. "We Were Here" focuses on five individuals — all of whom lived in San Francisco prior to the epidemic and who include caregivers, activists, researchers, friends and lovers of the afflicted and people with AIDS themselves. The film reveals their tireless fight and is a testament to the capacity of people working together to rise to an unthinkable occasion.
Stonewall Uprising: American Experience
airs Tuesday, June 26th at 10 pm
"Stonewall Uprising" explores the dramatic event that launched a worldwide rights movement. Told by those who took part, from drag queens and street hustlers to police detectives, journalists and a former mayor of New York, and featuring a rich trove of archival footage, this film revisits a time when homosexual acts were illegal throughout America, and homosexuality itself was seen as a form of mental illness. Hunted and often entrapped by undercover police in their hometowns, gays from around the U.S. began fleeing to New York in search of a sanctuary. Hounded there still by an aggressive police force, they found refuge in a Mafia-run gay bar in Greenwich Village, the Stonewall Inn. When police raided Stonewall on June 28, 1969, gay men and women did something they had not done before: they fought back. As the streets of New York erupted into violent protests and street demonstrations, the collective anger announced that the gay rights movement had arrived.

Fickle fans. We'll win a few games and prices will be back up. Too many fans listen to talk radio, read the papers, and overreact.
Tickets going for as little as $23.00 on StubHub for Jets home games through the end of the season...
This is getting rough.
Fickle fans. We'll win a few games and prices will be back up. Too many fans listen to talk radio, read the papers, and overreact.
Sweet! I'm buyin them up, and after next week when the schedule lightens up, I'll make a little DI.
Good, someone should buy them up because that's pretty bad. No wonder there were 40% 49ers fans there on Sunday.
I would not pay $2.50 to see this team play.
They have nothing.
They are nothing.
They quit on their coach in week 4
The QB is a complete pu$$y and wilts under the slightest pressure, it is his
4th year in the league and he still can't throw a screen pass over a
d lineman to a wide open RB, still fumbles the ball running around away from pressure instead of throwing it out of bounds or just dropping down and taking a sack, and, most importantly-HAS NEVER MADE/NEVER MAKES ANYONE BETTER AROUND HIM.
The owner of this team is a complete and utter moron and does not care about the state of the team.
This team will not be good again for another 3-5 years AFTER a regime change and some REAL football people are brought in.
If they imposed a 1K PSL on upper endzone and 2K PSL on upper sidelines and 4k PSL on upper primes, I'd imagine there would be way less abandonments up there than we see currently. There would still be plenty of people walking away from the 1k PSLs, but far less than we see with no PSLs. Giants were a lot smarter.
Now, the Jets will have to figure out how to charge STH in the UD Less per game than the SH price.
Example: If people know that they can get tickets in Section 3XX, Row XX for an average of $70 (including fees) per game on SH, the Jets cannot price ST's at $80 per game. Plus, the Jets cannot charge for PS games up there for the same reason.
Simply put, the Jets are in deep trouble for UD tickets next year. Supply and demand will dictate a price decrease or there will be a lot of empty seats.
The Jets did not assign PSLs to the UD, and still were unable to sell all the seats. It took them almost 2 years before the first game was played at MEtLife and they still were short.
I agree that PSLs make it harder to walk away, but you have to make the sale first. The assumption that the vast majority of UD STHs would have agreed to *any* PSL fee is not based in reality, IMO.
If Jets charged $750 UD EZ, $1,500 UD Sideline, $2,000 Mezz B, $2,500 Mez A, $2,750 UD Prime, 3k LLEZ, 4k LLEZ Corners, 5k LL Touchdown Corners, 7.5K LGL and 10K LSL and 15K LSLPrime from the get go they would have had a lot more PSL buyers and a lot more stickiness. Also would have been able to charge like $10 bucks a ticket less in UD from beginning with a PSL Plus with lower PSL prices they could have asked for a mandatory 20% down and did only 5 year plans.
This is one hell of a stupid organization. Of 32 NFL franchises, the Jets are the Special Ed child of the bunch. Definitely riding on the NFL short bus. In fact, they should use those short buses for the parking lot shuttles. It would represent the organization and Jets fan base perfectly.
1) The people who "bought" a PSL in the UD would be less likely to walk away from their "investment" than people who didn't pay anything;
2) Any funds raised through PSL sales in the UD could have been used to lower the price of PSL's in the lower bowl. Thus, the Jets could have given people an incentive to buy up lower bowl PSL's early.
3) If you will remember, the UD originally sold out quickly as long time STH's wanted to keep getting "free" tickets. As originally priced, the LEZZ (and I believe Mezz B) were $5K and 4K each. I don't think there were any $2500K PSL's available during the original offer. The net result was a full UD and an empty lower bowl. (I remember begging the Jets to let us buy UD seats, but couldn't get any.)
4) With an empty LLEZ and Mezz B to deal with, the Jets lowered the prices and sold out LLEZ and most of Mezz B. But, by the time they did that, longtime STH had effectively "lost" all their seniority. When people realized how "bad" the high row UD seats really were, that bitterness was reinforced.
5) The originally priced the large number of LLEZ seats at $1000 more than the Mezz A seats. Mezz A sold out - LLEZ was a ghosttown until they were forced to cut the fee by half.
6) Because they botched their initial pricing scheme, the Jets have been dealing with moving fanbases since day 1.
If I had priced the stadium:
2) Mezz A - $4000
3) Mezz B - $2500
4) UDEZ - $1000/500 based upon rows
5) UD Corners - $1000/500 based upon rows
6) Club Seats - Because you want people to pay $700 per seat, charging an enormous PSL was simply idiotic. Either PSL needed to be lower or the ticket needed to be cheaper.
7) Ticket Price Guarantee - they needed to promise to the fanbase that the ticket prices would not be increased for five years.
8) Longtime STH who bought at least 4 PSLs would have gotten some sort of bonus/discount.
9) The financing was a good idea. I would have given a bonus (parking, food, etc) to people who paid in full.
Giants UD PSLs sell for triple PSL cost in secondary. Fans are paying for right to buy a seat at $95 that jets sell for $50
This years PSL payment is a big time make it or break it payment. Those who pay are getting far enough along they wont default,
The Jets screwed up royally with this thing. I have upper deck seats and was prepared to pay $1k - $1.5k for a PSL up there.
Before I became a teacher I had gotten my degree in marketing and if I were a marketing professor I would do a case study of the Jets with this new stadium and use it as a story about how the Jets screwed up royally.
Instead the Jets didn't put a PSL up there and called up people once to see what they wanted and told a lot of them you probably won't get upper deck seats save up for a PSL and a lot of people dropped before the 2009 season. BIG MISTAKE. Why even do this in the first place? It didn't help and pissed off a lot of people.
Then the Jets decided to tell everyone how bad the upper deck was and how you shouldn't get tickets up there. BIG MISTAKE. People could have judged the upper deck views weren't as good on their own but they didn't need every little thing wrong to be pointed out to them ahead of time. It's like going to lease a low-end BMW and the dealer tells you that you bought the crappy car and points out everything wrong. Once the lease is up if you feel bad about the purchase you can turn it in and walk away.
The Jets overpriced a lot of PSL sections. Goal line PSLs were originally $10k and sidelines $15k. The Giants goal line was $5k like the end zone and $10k on the sidelines. First the goal lines were dropped in price and then the end zone/mez b/sideline. The Giants also don't have that stupid Great Hall Club with a ridiculous ticket price of $400. It's $155 for a Giants game. Yes I know this isn't the Giants but we have less of fan base. At this point a lot of people were turned off already and said screw it. It was like having your wife tell you she's leaving you for another guy who has more money and that's what she wants only to find out he isn't interested in her and have her come running back to you.
People started to go into the stadium and said why bother with upper deck tickets and started to drop out. You can go on ticketmaster.com and find better seats a lot of the time with no preseason attached.
I was upgraded into upper deck seats that I know love but I was ready to walk away after last season.
I don't criticize anyone who bought PSLs or anything like that at all. I'm just showing how badly the Jets screwed up with the ticket situation.
The people pointing out that we're not sold out anymore are the same people that took UD seats in 2010 and 2011 because we were winning playoff games, making AFCCG appearances.
We go 8-8, they quit, then tell us how "loyal" they are, watching games on TV with a bag of pretzels.

|Version 17 (modified by 5 years ago) (diff),
For Twisted contributors
If you want to develop a patch for Twisted (as described in the BasicGuideToContributingCode) but prefer to use Git rather than SVN, this is the section for you.
For other version control systems, see DVCS Workflows.
Creating a Git clone
Twisted has an up-to-date mirror on github.
- Create a Git clone of the repository by running this command:
git clone https://github.com/twisted/twisted TwistedThis should create a subdirectory named
Twistedcontaining the latest trunk revision of the code.
- Create an ignore file that will prevent git from accidentally scooping up generated files like
_trial_tempand including them in any patches you might submit:
cat >> Twisted/.git/info/exclude << EOF *.py[co] _trial_temp dropin.cache *.o *.lo *.la EOFSee the Git documentation on .gitignore, particularly
core.excludesfile, for more information.
- Since Twisted is normally developed in SVN, Twisted developers are used to processing SVN-style patch files, not Git's patch format. You can change the behaviour of
git diffto match SVN just for this single repository with the following commands:
git config --file Twisted/.git/config --bool --add diff.noprefix true
Updating your Git clone
If more commits have been made to the SVN trunk, or a Twisted developer has created a new branch for your patch to live on, you'll want to update your clone with those changes so that you can produce new patches based on those changes. Just
cd into the repository and run:
git fetch git checkout master git rebase origin/trunk
For Twisted core developers
Creating a complete mirror
To be able to interact with svn, the following commands need to be run in the repository created above.
git svn init --stdlayout --tags tags/releases --prefix origin/ svn://svn.twistedmatrix.com/svn/Twisted/ git config --add svn-remote.svn.pushurl svn+ssh://svn.twistedmatrix.com/svn/Twisted/
Twisted does not completely follow the standard SVN repository layout. In particular, there is a "branches/releases" directory that contains more branches (as opposed to being a branch) and a "tags/releases" directory that contains more tags (as opposed to being a tag). Thus, git cannot be used to commit to release branches.
git svn branching
Follow the standard Twisted branch-name conventions when creating branches with Git.
I (tom.prince) currently use the following
mkbranch script to create branches.
#!/usr/bin/python import sys import subprocess from twisted.python import usage class Options(usage.Options): def parseArgs(self, branch): self.branch = branch if __name__ == '__main__': options = Options() try: options.parseOptions() except usage.UsageError as errortext: print '%s: %s' % (sys.argv[0], errortext) print '%s: Try --help for usage details.' % (sys.argv[0]) sys.exit(1) subprocess.check_call([ 'svn', 'cp', 'svn+ssh://svn.twistedmatrix.com/svn/Twisted/trunk', 'svn+ssh://svn.twistedmatrix.com/svn/Twisted/branches/%s' % (options.branch,), '-m', 'Branching to %s.' % (options.branch), ])
I call it as follows
mkbranch $BRANCH_NAME git fetch git checkout $BRANCH_NAME
An older version of this document had the following, which I haven't tested.
In the following example,
$BRANCH_NAME means the name of the branch you're trying to create.
# Create "branches/$BRANCH_NAME" in the central SVN repository. git svn branch $BRANCH_NAME # Create and checkout local branch "$BRANCH_NAME" that tracks "remotes/$BRANCH_NAME" git checkout $BRANCH_NAME
git svn committing
No special rules apply about making Git commits, you can make as many commits as you like, then rebase them into a nice patch series as normal (although the Twisted review process generally reviews the diff of an entire branch, not individual commits, since rebasing isn't possible in SVN).
However, once you send your patches to the central SVN server with
git svn dcommit, be very careful about messing with them. Don't rebase any further back than the last push, or else the next
dcommit is likely to go awry.
Likewise, if you merge from trunk to branch, then
dcommit the merge, it will become an ordinary commit that doesn't remember its ancestry, and merging it back onto the trunk later is likely to cause grief. So don't do that.
git svn merging forward
mkbranch $BRANCH_NAME-2 git merge --squash origin/$BRANCH_NAME git commit -m'Merging forward' git svn dcommit == git svn branch merging == In the following example, `$BRANCH_NAME` means the name of the branch you're trying to merge to trunk. {{{ # Check out the trunk (what git calls 'master'), make sure it's up-to-date. git checkout origin/trunk # Apply all the changes on the branch to the trunk as one change set. git merge --squash origin/$BRANCH_NAME # Commit the change set. Remember to use the Canonical Merge Commit Message Format! git commit # Push the commit to the central SVN repository. git svn dcommit }}} By "Canonical Merge Commit Message Format", I mean the example merge commit message in [http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/development/policy/svn-dev.html#auto6 the Working From Twisted's Subversion Repository documentation].

Cisco said in a hard-hitting internal memo that rival Hewlett-Packard's plans to spin off the HP PC business could result in "lower gross profits, price increases" and a weakened brand that will make it difficult for HP to compete in its remaining hardware businesses, including networking.
Cisco in the document maintains that HP's plans to spin off or sell its Personal Systems Group will result in lower margins for the HP channel, a sharp decrease in the size of HP channel deals and a drop in HP's channel funding efforts.
"We believe that the negative supply chain implications could generate 2 - 5 percent margin loss, which HP would have to absorb in the form of lower gross profits, price increases passed on to customers or lower margins for channel partners," according to an eight-page internal document obtained by CRN.
The document, titled "HP's PC Business Divestiture - Cisco Internal Perspective," was written by Cisco's Strategic Marketing Team and sent to Cisco's global sales force on September 29 by Rob Lloyd, Cisco executive vice president, worldwide sales operations.
READ "HP's PC Business Divestiture—Cisco Internal Perspective"
In a letter to the sales force that accompanied the document, Lloyd rallies his sales troops to pounce on "the confusion in the marketplace around HP" in the wake of a "radical shift in strategy toward software and services that impacts both its short term and long term businesses."
That strategy has left HP "struggling to provide a clear direction and strategy, leaving employees, customers, financial markets, industry influencers and their channel thoroughly confused," Lloyd said in the letter.
Cisco declined to comment on the internal memo, but a spokesman acknowledged that the Cisco sales team is increasing its competitive intensity toward HP.
"Consistency and predictability are the hallmarks of any successful channel strategy," said a Cisco spokesman in an e-mail to CRN. "At Cisco we've been driving a value-based channel strategy since 2001 and are committed to earning our partners' loyalty each and every day. While many of our competitors' partner strategies remain unclear, Cisco is doubling down on the channel by investing $75 million in our new partner-led sales model."
HP declined to comment.

Los Vaqueros Reservoir, currently boasting more than 120,000-acre feet of water and rising, is hosting a grand opening on Saturday to celebrate its increased capacity and unveil new visitor facilities, including a marina, docks, picnic area and hiking trails.
As a bonus, concessionaires are releasing upwards of 8,000 pounds of trout this week that average 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 pounds, up to 6 pounds. If the strong northwest winds relent as predicted, the event should be a major draw for outdoors enthusiasts who want a close-to-home destination, just 45 minutes from Stockton.
Besides fishing, the vast Los Vaqueros watershed boasts eagles and mountain lions. Both have been seen this week. With the arrival of spring, rattlesnakes are slithering about, wild turkeys are strutting and ospreys are soaring. Ages-old valley oaks are verdant green against the wildflower-studded hills, making for a stunning day afield.
"Nature is on display, fishing for trout and striped bass is good and we're offering a host of activities to celebrate the enlarging of the reservoir and the new marina," spokesman Chris Senti said. "All of the special events are free."
The fishing derby runs 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., while docent-led hikes, Native American seminars and kids fishing clinics start at 10 a.m. The derby will award prizes down to eight places in various age categories. There are more than 50 miles of trails to explore.
Access to the Los Vaqueros Reservoir south entrance is off Vasco Road, reachable from Livermore off I-580 or Byron via Highway 4. Usual fees apply: $6 to park, $4.50 to fish for anglers 16 years and older. Information: (925) 371-2628.
The Pacific Fisheries Management Council recently finalized recreational ocean salmon fishing rules for 2013.
Point Arena, Mendocino County to Pigeon Point, San Mateo County - Season runs through Nov. 10. From June 1 to July 9, fishing is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Minimum length is 24 inches through July 31, then reduced to 20 inches.
Pigeon Point south to the Mexican border - Season runs through Oct. 6. Between June 1 and July 9, fishing is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Minimum length is 24 inches for the entire season.
The state Fish and Game Commission will adopt in-river salmon fishing seasons today for the Sacramento River and its tributaries, the American, Feather and Mokelumne rivers.
Prospects for recreational anglers look good with 727,600 adult spawners expected to migrate into the Klamath River, the third largest run in history, and 834,000 into the Sacramento River, well above escapement goals of 122,000 to 180,000 fish.

Recently a member on this forum referred to CE+P brethren (and others i imagine) who vote for Romney as "Jews for Hitler"
As nasty as it gets
It's something I will never forgive or forget - at least as it relates to this board and how we treat each other
But i do consider the source - and that source has a long history (in a short time) of dissociative behavior so ......
worse, much worse is another poster's intimidation as it relates to if one votes for Romney, there will be consequences
the source there is someone who seemingly regards himself as somehow above the fray and part mod/part poster yet has the stones to throw that shit out
anyway ............
so i googled "jews for hitler" and found this article
interesting (very) read about republicanism and gays - take a look
very interesting comment which says it all for me
"I'm sick and tired of being a Jew for Hitler," he says. "I'm like, 'Where's your tolerance? You accept everyone else under the sun except for us.'

If you're reading this Borgo, and the sucky mods/programmers can remove their Things Dildonics long enough to rectumify the situation (both post count and ban), I've got some post-hotties forum stuff for you. I will continue my image strike until the post counts are restored.
Obvious sarcasm is obvious.I thank you for all the advice that you have bestowed on us - its been taken under advisement.
It's your show mate. We post here only as long as you folks allow it. All I'll say is it's been interesting to see the changes from my era to today in how some folsk get handled, and how some folks get a free pass.
So, if I can change, and if you can change....
And yes, your thread was absolutely an abortion. JMO, but you owe Paulie an apology. You don't think so, that's cool. But don't pretend that you didn't intend it in that manner - that's also insulting.
If you think things have changed, that's your prerogative. But, I hope you consider yourself in the group that gets the free pass for the number of times you've engaged in personal attacks on people you don't deem to be worthy of posting here and the obvious taunt of seeing whether we'll do anything.
You know the impossibility of pleasing everyone here, to the point where I'm not going to bother to try. I know for me personally, I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and as much leeway as possible.
And as far as Borgo goes, I like him, always have. Considered him a friend, to the extent that we have them on JI. I hope he comes back at some point. But, not if he's going to pull the sh!t he pulled. He was way out of line. The goal posts have somewhat shifted in this situation and that's disappointing, but I guess not all that surprising when the offender is a popular guy.

ej22 with ej25 phase II heads
Posted 27 December 2011 - 06:57 PM
at this point it is tough to tell if it worked. i did not hear the engine run before hand so believe it or not im hoping it IS a rod knock. i haven't diagnosed it yet but i will get back to you with the diagnosis.
Posted 27 December 2011 - 07:52 PM
i was told the block was bad and was going to do exactly like you said - install a Phase I EJ22 block in it (which i didn't know it already had in it but assumed it would work). turns out the timing tensioner sheared off and valves bent.
the Phase II EJ22 and EJ25 intake and exhaust valves have the same part numbers so while there are differences I doubt it matters.
i've also installed Phase II SOHC EJ25 heads on Phase I EJ25 blocks, use the thick 610 EJ25D headgasket.
Posted 27 December 2011 - 08:13 PM
i thought the cams where different and they where open for a longer duration and that would cause them to hit.
i guess i have to find a new block and try it again. thanks
Posted 27 December 2011 - 09:09 PM
he said it had no noticeable interference when assembled and turning it by hand, it wasn't until they started it that it made the noises? i don't believe any "damage" was done but they could see the strike marks on the head when he pulled it apart.
again - that's from memory but it affected how i proceeded with mine....so onto mine....
that, combined with the fact that the shop resurfaced the heads beyond limits on the one I was working on, i knew i needed to account for that. i used the 610 EJ25 headgasket which is really thick and gave enough room that it didn't matter. i prefer that gasket anyway as it holds really well on the headgasket issue prone EJ25's.
there are companies like allwheeldriveauto and COMETIC that make custom gaskets and maybe they can get you a "thick" EJ22 headgasket to give you some extra room if needed?
i believe you're supposed to match the headgasket to the block because of the fire ring so you should probably be using an EJ22 headgasket, i don't know the efficacy of using an EJ25 headgasket on an EJ22 block, but would be nice if you could just use the thicker EJ25 headgaskets already avialable.
Posted 27 December 2011 - 10:46 PM
yeah you need to match the gasket to the block. i think on the phase II engines they used thinner gaskets to accomplish a higher compression ratio.
i'm thinking it is a rod because the car it came out of was hit head on and crushed one of the cams. maybe due an abrupt stop it tweaked a bearing. that and there is no noise at an idle and when you punch the throttle it starts going crazy but if you hold it at a steady rpm it becomes fairly consistent.
Posted 28 December 2011 - 12:26 AM
take it apart and see. timing tensioners can sound like knock and only happen under load. they can sound strangely like rod knock. oil pumps can bleed off pressure too if the rear backing plate screws come too loose which is common and you're probably familiar with. folks have said this can generate a noise but i've never heard it yet, just seen the loose screws.

it's not piston slap is it?
the Phase II i just got and pulled was diagnosed by a mechanic as a bad bottom end and ended up being the timing tensioner knocking - this time because the bolt holding it in place was sheared off, not because the tensioner itself failed. it was wedged in place enough to still rotate and never gave out completely so it was allowed to turn over and make noise.
Posted 28 December 2011 - 10:08 AM
i doubt its the tensioners i did the timing belt when i had it out and replaces all of them. thats very interesting tho i have never heard of that happening. to me it sounds like whoever did the timing belt last over tightened the pulley. they should be able to shear off.
and the rear baffle plate i soaked in ultra grey and resealed. i was tried to find a metal one but i had to settle for resealing those stupid plastic ones.
Posted 28 December 2011 - 11:09 AM
i figured you'd be familiar with that.
its not piston slap.
right on, total long shot and seems like you'd tell the difference. i've seen it 3 times now, twice on older gen engines though and this was the first on an EJ.
thats very interesting tho i have never heard of that happening. to me it sounds like whoever did the timing belt last over tightened the pulley.
not because this is what you have to deal with but just for jabbering sake....
i've seen a few failed tensioner pulley bolts. more than once i've seen a chunk of the block come out with the bolt too on XT6's! a guess is that the tensioners hydraulic mechanism can degrade and cause the pulley to "vibrate" or "bounce", which fatigues the bolt over time. i've seen them fail like that, where the tensioner is visually bouncing....so if one could fail "less" than that, but still vibrates - maybe it could fatigue the bolt? since i've seen them fail badly and it doesn't seem to happen on any of the other pulley bolts that seems somewhat plausible.
this one had a complete new timing kit installed, it was the first engine i've ever pulled apart and seen all new timing components.
Posted 28 December 2011 - 11:55 AM
speaking of xt's one came up on craigslist. its and 86 turbo with bad head gasket for $500. worth it
when the pulley starts wobbling like that does it affect the way it runs. it seems like it might be able to throw of the timing just lightly maybe to cause a misfire?
Posted 01 January 2012 - 10:45 PM
Posted 02 January 2012 - 09:55 PM
The XT6 had an ER27, which is an EA82 with two more cylinders, but still had 2 timing belts like the EA82.
The EZ30 flat 6 is the one you're thinking of. It has a timing chain setup and is roughly based on the EJ design.
As for a XT turbo, only if it's decent shape. Granted, it still has an EA82T in it but that can be swapped for an EJ20G, or an EJ257......

Benefit supper held in Orrington for the Johnson family | News
ORRINGTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- On Saturday, Nov. 10, Christine Johnson lost her husband Ben and her three children Ben, Ryan, and Leslie in a fatal house fire in Orrington. Now the community is offering its support.
On Saturday, Nov. 17, community members gathered at Center Drive School in Orrington for a spaghetti supper.
East Orrington Congregational Church senior pastor Carl Schreiber said all of the money raised Saturday night will be put into a trust fund for Christine. He said Saturday's dinner allows for the healing process to begin for everyone who was affected by the fire, but it is also important to help Christine.
"We will help in what way we can and that's with a community gathering to show Christine how much she is loved and how much she is supported by both friends, neighbors and strangers," Schreiber said.
If you would like to help Christine Johnson, checks can be sent to Seaboard Federal Credit Union in Bucksport, in care of the Johnson Family Fund.

We have reserved Saturday, March 27th for the annual tournament and Sunday, March 28th for an area-wide promotion and seminar (provided that Mr. Yamakura is available).
I was particularly encouraged by the interest that our members showed in the kata tournament at the GKK 50th reunion. I'm hoping that many of our members will desire to get together again at this event and rekindle friendships as they engage in friendly competition.
Are there any suggestions that you have that might create a greater interest for our GKK members? Are there any divisions that we could add etc?

Samantha Pawlucy returned to school this morning, following a rally in her support, days after she received a highly publicized classroom dressing down for wearing a Romney/Ryan T-shirt. Students this morning were also expected to be read a letter from the teacher involved expressing regret for the aftermath of what she called "a light and humorous remark."
Samantha Pawlucy returned to school this morning, following a rally in her support, days after she received a highly publicized classroom dressing down for wearing a Romney/Ryan T-shirt.
Students this morning were also expected to be read a letter from the teacher involved expressing regret for the aftermath of what she called "a light and humorous remark."
The demonstration began outside Charles Carroll High in Philadelphia's Port Richmond neighborhood about 7:45 a.m. with the singing of the national anthem. Pawlucy then took part in the reading of the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence and the First Amendment to the Constitution.
Shouts of "Go, Sam!" and "You're great, Sam!" followed a group recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance.
With no speeches prolonging the event, about 8 a.m. she went inside. Police helped keep the sidewalks clear as students continued to arrive.
Most of the two dozen or so dozen participants were veterans, judging from their military decorations and signs, such as "I'm a veteran and Samantha is my hero."
Tom Manns, 74, of Olney, said before the rally, "We should stand up for our rights, and she has a perfect right to wear the shirt."
Samantha's mother, Kristine Pawlucy, said to a reporter, "It's overwhelming. I'm just trying to take it all in. . . . A lot of great people in the community -- the whole country -- have shown a lot of support and I think that's really helped."
Lewis Harris Jr. said his four grandchildren took part in reading the First Amendment with Samantha to show that African Americans also support her right to free speech. Harris, a GOP ward leader, is also chairman of the Philadelphia Republicans of Color.
The rally was intended to be politically neutral, said one of the organizers, Kevin Kelly, cofounder of Philadelphia's "Loyal Opposition" Republican faction. Politicians were invited, but weren't allowed to use the event for political purposes, Kelly said.
Among the officials seen were State Rep. John Taylor, Councilman Mark Squilla and School District Superintendent William Hite.
An invitation for the rally posted on state representative candidate Dave Kralle's website described the event as "a show of support and patriotism for Samantha."
"Please bring American flags as we will be loudly reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. We have been told there isn't a single American flag at the school and the Pledge is NEVER recited," the announcement read.
Pawlucy had not been in school since the middle of last week, when the news of the confrontation with her geometry teacher went viral.
Pawlucy wore a pink Romney/Ryan T-shirt on a "dress down" day Sept. 28. In her geometry class, Gaymon pointed out the shirt, questioning her decision to wear it and telling her to leave the classroom. The teacher also drew parallels between wearing a Romney T-shirt in a "Democratic" school and Gaymon, who is black, wearing a "KKK" shirt without understanding its meaning.
The letter of regret from Gaymon was distributed to teachers to be read to students during first period today. She declared her support for freedom of expression, saying, "My words were never meant to belittle Ms. Pawlucy."
The teacher also called for an end to any "bullying of Sam -- on Facebook, Twitter, or otherwise."
Since making headlines, the situation has led to harassment of both student and teacher, with students shouting obscenities at the Pawlucys on Friday. The same day, Gaymon's aunts said, they began receiving harassing phone calls, including one death threat.
Mayor Nutter intervened Sunday afternoon, visiting both families. The families declined to discuss details of the visits, and Nutter declined to comment when reached by phone Sunday. He was not present during the morning rally.
Hite released a statement Monday calling the situation a "teachable moment. He promised to work with Nutter and Philadelphia Federation of Teachers president Jerry Jordan to move "towards a conversation that brings together diverse beliefs, inspires understanding, and heals."

"The Charter Remains Ambiguous in Matters of Equal Rights"
You described the Islamic Charter as a "sample without value". It is supposedly capable of deceiving the public. Harsh words for the Central Council of Muslims in Germany!
Safter Cinar: Yes, but the criticism is quite justified. The Charter is not convincing. It often mentions that Islamic law requires the recognition of the "local legal system". This supposedly holds true particularly for Muslims in diaspora. But the matter at hand is not the local legal system in the Federal Republic of Germany, but rather universal values. Democratic values should not only be internalized and defended here, but throughout the world as well. You cannot only refer to the diaspora situation and say "I live here in the Federal Republic of Germany, whatever happens in other countries in the name of Islam is therefore none of my business."
You mean the human rights situation in the Islamic world?
Cinar: Yes. The Charter does not take a clear stand on the role of women in Islam. It only says that men and women have the same duties. But that is not the issue at hand. It's much more important to know whether or not they have the same rights as men do and you find very little about this in the Charter. The only exception is that women are guaranteed the right to vote. But that goes without saying even in countries like Iran.
When debatable or controversial issues are skimmed over in the formulation, why was the Charter even created, in your opinion?
Cinar: You have to take the background of the attacks on September 11, 2001 into account. There was a great deal of controversy in Germany about Islam and the extent to which Islam was connected in the attacks. The Central Council of Muslims wanted to show that they conform to German society. The call for a Muslim representative grew louder and louder from the politicians' side. But I think the problem in Germany and central Europe is that Islam does not have organizations, organizations like churches, priests or ministers. Islam says yes, faith is a matter between an individual and God. That's why hardly anything has happened for hundreds of years. Many believers still find it hard to organize groups because it contradicts their basic understanding of religion. In other words, it would be false to assume that the Central Council speaks for all Muslims in Germany.

Peppercorn encrusted sirloin steak thinly sliced with roasted baby red potatoes over romaine hearts with a chunky blue cheese dressing. A rockstar.
Steak and potatoes get a makeover that makes everyone happy! From the die-hard salad lovers to the steak-and-potato-eaters-at-every-single-meal. You know who I'm talking about.
The peppercorns bring the heat and the dressing puts out the fire. The tormentor and the savior. On its own the steak is mouth-searing-hot. Paired with the cooling qualities of the milky dressing, starchy potatoes and cold lettuce it's manageable in a totally delicious where-have-you-been-all-my-life kind of way.
Roasted new potatoes rule. In case you didn't know. Especially when drenched in extra-virgin olive oil and lots of salt and pepper to bring out their flavor. Do not make the mistake of dipping them into the blue cheese all for the sake of taste-testing. You might not be able to stop it.
Roquefort blue cheese is the Cadillac of all blue cheese and my absolute favorite type. It makes the dressing spoon-able as in spoon-to-mouth-I-can't-stop-eating-this to. . .Oops! There's not going to be any left for the salad. Help.
All the ingredients are such major superstars on their own I can't decide who the star of this show is. The dressing stands out. My family asked about it the next day. You know – is there any of that dressing left? Not – are there any steak or potatoes left? It was all about the dressing. There wasn't. {See paragraph 5 above.}
I kept it pretty simple as far as salads go. You can add your own spin to this – sliced red onions, grape tomatoes and/or crumbled bacon. Cucumber for more coolness. Whatever you have on hand or like to eat in your salads. You may serve this hot, warm or at room temperature.
Peppercorn encrusted sirloin steak thinly sliced with roasted baby red potatoes over romaine hearts with a chunky blue cheese dressing.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a large baking sheet or line with parchment first and lightly grease. Add the potatoes and drizzle 2 - 3 tablespoons olive oil over them and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Use your hands to massage the oil all over the potatoes. Bake until fork tender about 30 minutes.
- In a medium bowl whisk the mayo, buttermilk, garlic and vinegar together. Stir in the Roquefort and season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate.
- Use a mortar and pestle to crush the peppercorns or smash them with a meat mallet on a cutting board - cover them with a paper towel then a dish towel and pound until crushed.
- Lightly oil a large cast-iron skillet and set over high heat. Salt the steak well on both sides then press one side down into the peppercorns.
- When the pan is smoking hot lay the steak in - peppercorn side down and turn heat down to medium-high. You kind of have to use your own judgment for cooking the steak depending on its size and how rare you like it. This is how I did mine and it weighed about a pound: Cook about 4 - 5 minutes on the first side for medium well steak (pink but not bloody in the middle) then flip and cook on the other side 3 - 4 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and cover with foil. Let sit 5 - 10 minutes before slicing.
- Divide the romaine among 4 plates followed by the potatoes and any extras you like. Slice the steak thinly against the grain and plate. Drizzle very generously with the blue cheese dressing.
- Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

The Houston Museum of Natural Science was founded in 1909 – meaning that the curators of the Houston Museum of Natural Science have been collecting and preserving natural and cultural treasures for a hundred years now. For this yearlong series, our current curators have chosen one hundred exceptional objects from the Museum's immense storehouse of specimens and artifacts—one for each year of our history. Check back here frequently to learn more about this diverse selection of behind-the-scenes curiosities—we will post the image and description of a new object every few days.
This description is from Joel, the Museum's President and Curator of Gems and Minerals. He's chosen spectacular objects from the Museum's mineralogy collection, which includes some of the most rare and fascinating mineral specimens in the world, that we'll be sharing here – and at 100.hmns.org– throughout the year.
San Judas Chimney, Level 6, Ojuela Mine, Mapimi, Durango, Mexico
Adamite comes in many colors, but the finest specimens have always come from the Ojuela mine, and by far the most sought-after color is the royal purple found in the San Judas chimney in 1981. The mineral world was galvanized by the extraordinary specimens recovered from that find. Perhaps the best of the lot is this 5.5-cm cluster on limonite matrix—making it the best known example of the species. The complexity, sharpness, perfection, color, arrangement, and luster of the semi-transparent crystals are all superb.
Marvel at the world's most spectacular collection of natural mineral crystals in the Cullen Hall of Gems and Minerals at the Houston Museum of Natural Science.
You can see more images of this fascinating artifact – as well as the others we've posted so far this year – in the 100 Objects section at 100.hmns.org

I'll be with her for part of the day, tweeting as we go. Follow me at junieone on Twitter. If you want to fire any questions our way, Nickerson and I will be doing a live chat Friday at 11:45 a.m. Tune in at live.montrealgazette.com.
"I've never entered a contest in my life, or bought a lottery ticket for that matter, either," said Nickerson, who works as a senior director of strategy at a U.S. based marketing-technology company. "But this was something I truly wanted to try for."
She loves Oprah for being an inspiration to women the world over:"She has a curiosity about people, a real interest in the human angle."
Nickerson is involved with the Girl Guides of Canada, an organization that helps girls develop confidence, something she's sure Winfrey herself would appreciate. "She's all about helping young girls and building self-esteem, and that's what we do in the Guiding organization."
Nickerson had bought tickets to the show with three girlfriends, but when she won the contest, she gave her ticket to another friend who entered the contest but didn't win.
"They'll all be in the audience, too," she said with a giggle — just not in the third row, where Nickerson will be with her husband.
"He's totally into spending my birthday with me," she added. "And as a business owner, he's impressed with Oprah as a business leader."
Nickerson won the contest by submitting five photos as part of a "Favourite Things" theme. Her five objects were: a lemon/lime zester, a face cream, paring knives, Girl Guide cookies and her personal scrapbook.
What's Nickerson hoping for from Oprah? "From a personal perspective, if she would autograph my scrapbook that would be awesome, but if she could sign something for the Girl Guides, that would be so cool."
Who knows, maybe she'll sign both!

Gina Carano has not signed with Bellator MMA
Sorry to spoil all the fun from the rumor mill, but Gina Carano has not signed with Bellator MMA contrary to what some wild rumors suggested on Monday, though she is negotiating with the company.
The rumor mill kicked into high gear after former Bellator fighter Brian Rogers tweeted the following:
Friends, Fans & haters :Tomorrow there will be a major fight announcement via @BellatorMMA & various media outlets. You will be entertained
— Brian Rogers (@BRogthePredator) August 11, 2014
MMA manager Hector Castro also had this to say:
Hmm.. Rumor is that Gina signed with Bellator.. Apparently so did Marloes Coenen
— Hector Castro (@HectorCastroESM) August 11, 2014
Though nothing concrete about Carano has been established, Coenen did hint at some big news with this tweet:
There's something I want to tell you but I have to wait a little longer…. #MMA
— MarloesCoenen (@MarloesCoenen) August 11, 2014
MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani then reported on Tuesday that Bellator is exploring adding a women's division and that they are negotiating with Carano.
Though Carano may be negotiating with Bellator, I can't imagine she would actually sign with them. Carano doesn't need a fight career. The only fight she'd return for is one with Ronda Rousey, and that would be in the UFC. She wouldn't come back to sign with Bellator, but she could be using this as leverage for talks with the UFC. UFC boss expressed confidence in signing Carano, but he said last month that the negotiations are "complicated."

Johnsonburg honors fallen soldiers
JOHNSONBURG – Memorial Day services commenced in downtown Johnsonburg Monday morning with the veteran's walk followed by services at the gazebo on the American Legion lawn.The "Star Spangled Banner" was played by the Johnsonburg Area High School Band under the direction of Tom Pavlock.An invocation was presented by Pastor Bob Johnson.Johnsonburg Council Member Harriet Stahli welcomed the large crowd who gathered on hand to honor the fallen soldiers."Memorial Day is the time for Americans to reconnect with their history and core values by honoring those who gave their lives for the ideals we cherish," Stahli said. "More than a million American servicemen and women have died fighting in the wars and conflicts this nation has been involved with since the colonial soldiers took up arms in 1775 to fight for our independence. Each person who died during these conflicts was a loved one cherished by family and friends; each was a loss to the community and to our nation. "Our community has more than its share of losses. Johnsonburg has always stood behind and supported our military forces. In World War II almost one-third of our town was enlisted and fought in the war."Honored guest State Representative and U.S. Army Reserve member Matt Gabler shared his thoughts on the meaning of Memorial Day."For many it's [Memorial Day] the first weekend of summer," Gabler said. "It's time to clean out the grill and have a party and relax. Of course there is nothing wrong with this, in fact it seems fittingly American, but as with anything in the fast-paced world the true meaning is too easy to lose in the hustle and bustle. We are all aware of the patriotic-themes, the American flags and the focus on military servicemen and women, but do we truly think about what separates Memorial Day apart from Veterans Day or the Fourth of July?"Let us pause [Monday] to think about today's sobering theme - the ultimate sacrifice. Jesus tells us in the Gospel of John, 'No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.' Everyone who we honor today has shown us the greatest love, not just for friends, but in many cases for complete strangers. While we sleep in comfort and peace each and every night, we continue to do so because brave men and women volunteer to put themselves in harm's way in order to secure our peace."Pick up a copy of the Tuesday, May 29, 2012 edition of The Ridgway Record for more.

The key witness in the trial of the man convicted of killing former intern Chandra Levy had a previously undisclosed history as a government snitch, a court hearing revealed Tuesday.
The revelations about former Fresno, Calif., gang member Armando Morales might undermine his credibility, could taint prosecutors and definitely set the stage for defense attorneys to seek a new trial for Ingmar Guandique, the man convicted in November 2010 of the killing.
"Armando Morales lied to the jury in this case, and the Department of Justice had proof of those lies before and during the trial," defense attorney Jon Anderson said after a three-hour hearing. "Mr. Guandique deserves a new trial."
Morales's prior snitching apparently ranged from sharing tips about certain unspecified violent crimes to informing authorities about drugs and weapons at U.S. Penitentiary Atlanta, according to information aired for the first time Tuesday. Defense attorneys say Morales was hoping to trade this information for benefits such as better treatment, and that they were at an unfair disadvantage by not knowing about it at trial.
"That information may have impeached Mr. Morales' testimony," District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Gerald Fisher said.
Prosecutors are legally obliged to share potentially helpful information with defense attorneys. But though Morales' prior snitching reportedly was recorded in Bureau of Prisons records, among other sources, defense attorneys and the judge didn't learn about it until last year. Through a series of still-secret events, federal prosecutors in Washington say the information was belatedly brought to their own attention, prompting them to alert the judge and, eventually, the defense.
A decision on a new trial is still many months away.
"The last word will not be today," Assistant U.S. Attorney David Gorman acknowledged Tuesday, adding that defense arguments amounted to "speculation and conjecture."
The U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement after the hearing that Morales "never asked for or received any benefit for his testimony in this case."
A former Bureau of Prisons intern, Levy was preparing to return to her family's Modesto, Calif., home when she dropped from sight on May 1, 2001. Her disappearance attracted national notoriety after speculation, subsequently confirmed, that she'd been having an affair with then-Congressman Gary Condit, D-Calif. Levy's skeletal remains were found in 2002 in Washington's Rock Creek Park.
Lacking eyewitnesses or DNA evidence, prosecutors built their case primarily on circumstantial evidence. Guandique, for instance, had admitted to attacking two other women in Rock Creek Park. The linchpin, though, was Morales.
A founding member of the Fresno Bulldogs street gang, Morales was serving time on drug and weapons charges in federal prison in Kentucky when he shared a cell for several weeks with Guandique. Morales subsequently testified that Guandique had confessed to him that he'd killed Levy during a robbery attempt.
"He was the only witness that tied Ingmar Guandique to Chandra Levy," Anderson noted.
During the trial, defense attorneys pressed Morales hard on his lengthy criminal record. They also suggested that he was always looking out for himself, citing his plea agreement in Fresno that led to a reduced sentence. In response, a prosecutor asked Morales whether he'd entered into prior cooperation agreements, in which he traded information for personal advantage.
"Did you have any kind of deal like that, in any of the cases in which you pled guilty and accepted responsibility?" Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda Haines asked Morales during his Nov. 4, 2010, testimony.
"None," Morales replied.
The subsequently uncovered information about Morales' cooperation with law enforcement officials comes in several forms.
Another inmate, who'd traded information for leniency in his own case, wrote a three-page letter on Morales' behalf, summarizing his claims about the Guandique confession. Defense attorneys say they were never given the first page, which detailed how Morales had previously given information to law enforcement.
Prosecutors say they properly turned over the entire letter.
Separately, prison intake forms include boxes to be checked if someone has helped law enforcement in the past. Defense attorneys say that some forms they now receive include the checked box, but they say they haven't received the forms from all the prisons Morales has been in. The defense investigation also is delving into what other information is in Morales' complete Bureau of Prisons file, as well as information from the Fresno-based federal prosecutors who dealt with Morales in the 1996 case that sent him to prison until 2016.

People running oracle on red hat are going to love this, today when they hit a road block and need support, they call oracle and if the problem isn't easy to solve the support tech passes the buck and says "call red hat" its there problem, now if user buys OS and Database support from oracle there is no passing the buck, its okay i have a problem and i want a fix, its your OS and your DB, how do i fix this.
Also who has more experience supporting enterprise customers? its not Red Hat, they are the new kids on the block, Oracle has been supporting the enterprise for over 20 years. This is all old hat, they are expert, they know the database, and know the OS inside and out because they have had to fix all problems with the OS, and frankly you can buy linux kernel gurus for a dime a dozen compared to oracle experts.
This is also a great marketing tool, they become the one stop shopping for OS, database, and middleware.
of course if you want to stay out of this fight you have another option that I cover at my blog http://uadmin.blogspot.com/2006/10/its-not-good-business-to-be-in-m...

About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling. SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.
SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2.5 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data.
The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each montha'a"s short transactions, SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin.
