Mayor's Office
Survey results show residents satisfied with City's safety and security
Mayor Chris Beutler and Police Chief Tom Casady today released crime statistics for calendar year 2009 showing that the City's overall reported crime fell by 4 percent compared to 2008. The total number of crimes fell from 11,381 to 10,985. That's the lowest number since 1985, despite a 73,000 increase in Lincoln's population during that same time period. When adjusted for population, the crime rate (the number of crimes divided by the population) is at its lowest point since the early 1970s.
Mayor Beutler also released two more findings from the recent phone survey of 600 randomly selected residents - 89 percent of those responding said they were satisfied or very satisfied with safety and security in the entire City and in their neighborhoods.
We could not have achieved these result without the Police Department's focus on crime prevention and problem-oriented policing," Mayor Beutler said. "The Department's sophisticated and effective policing strategies continue to result in lowering the crime rate and assuring the public that we live in a safe community.
At the same time, the Mayor credited the broader community for its role in keeping Lincoln safe and in reducing the impact of crime. He said collaborative efforts like the Stronger Safer Neighborhoods Initiative are coordinating the resources of neighborhoods, rental property owners, non-profits, businesses and police to address root causes of crime. Organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters, Teammates, Community Learning Centers, The Boys and Girls Club, the Salvation Army and NeighborWorks are all important partners that work with the City to help make the community safer.
The Lincoln Police Department (LPD) compiles statistics as part of the FBI's national Uniform Crime Reporting program. In the seven areas tracked by the FBI, Lincoln had decreases in four - aggravated assaults fell by 110, robberies by 27, larceny-theft by 291, and auto theft by 81. There were four murders in Lincoln in both 2008 and 2009. Increases were seen in the number of rapes reported to the Police (15 more) and burglaries (37 more).
Since crime rates peaked in Lincoln in 1991, crime has been falling steadily," Casady said "Crime over the past two decades mirrors national trends, although Lincoln's decrease has been more significant and sustained.
The Mayor also commended LPD for achieving a record high clearance rate - the percentage of crimes solved through arrests. The clearance rate for 2009 reached 30 percent, compared to a national average of 21 percent. While new technology helps, Casady said it's the people who solve cases.
Our ability to target our resources and use information to our advantage is especially valuable," Casady said. "But in the end, good work on the street by our officers is where the credit rests.
Crime data are reported to the FBI by more than 17,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide and serve as the basis for most published crime statistics, crime rate comparisons and historical comparisons of crime reported to the police.
More information on Lincoln's crime rate is available at police.lincoln.ne.gov.

HI all,
I'm currently looking at buying a 400 or 800 but it seems they mostly become available from the US. What is involved getting a US machine to run in the UK? Presumably a replacement power supply and a screen or converter that's ok with ntsc... but are there any other issues?
Also, any info on peripherals.... for example, do atari disk/tape drives have a seperate power unit? Or is it hard wired into the back of the drive?

1972 Chevy K5 Blazer - Trick Trail BlazerPosted in Project Vehicles on August 1, 2009
When it came time to choose a trail rig, Brent Rederick, Amber West, and son Justin knew they wanted a vehicle that could carry their camping gear to remote places and tackle tough terrain with confidence. They found the '72 Blazer in a classifieds ad about four years ago, and the evolution began.
The vintage Chevy was decently equipped at the time with beefed-up 1/2-ton axles and a set of Swampers. But over the past few years the family that wheels together started wrenching together, and the Blazer turned out to be a more formidable weekend rig.
Stuff that broke was replaced with bigger parts to the point where the Blazer could tackle substantial Southwest trails, albeit not without making some sheetmetal contact. Wheeling harder demanded bigger hardware. A Dana 60 was fitted up front and a 14-bolt in the rear, and they're now driven via an NP203/205 transfer case combo.
Under the hood lurks a healthy small-block 350 with Holley Commander 950 fuel injection and computer-controlled HEI ignition. However, the bay will soon yield space to a high-performance 383 to deliver a bit more torque to push the Blazer and its unique backcountry trailer up the hills. The trailer is purpose-built and used for extended camping trips.
The Blazer is very much a part of the family. It consumes a lot of their time between modifying it and playing in it. Brent told us the whole family turns the wrenches, drives it, and breaks it. Looks like they have plenty of fun doing so!

Jane DeGabriel, left, and Deb Stevenson monitor the bats in the park lands.IT IS hard to work out where the racket is coming from among a rustic clump of stringybarks in Centennial Park. Then the black blobs hanging from the branches become visible: a colony of perhaps 1000 grey-headed flying foxes has set up camp, chirping, screeching and wriggling their way through another misty morning.
"What you can hear are alert calls, babies calling to their mothers, and territorial calls as well," said the CSIRO ecologist Adam McKeown. "At this time of year, males are just starting to establish territories, younger males are play fighting with each other."
It's census time for flying foxes, as scientists try to work out how vulnerable the species is. Though listed as protected, it has been eight years since a survey was completed, and not all bat colonies, known as "camps", were studied at the same time.
Starting on Thursday, a three-day national effort involving hundreds of volunteers from NSW, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and the ACT will all count bats using the same method, and be repeated every three months over a four-year period if funding continues.
It should show whether the best estimate of between 300,000 and 400,000 remaining bats is accurate, and whether the population is in serious decline, as other studies have found.
Some experts have said the species, so often maligned as messy, noisy nibblers of fruit trees, could be "functionally extinct" in the wild by 2050.
Part of the problem is flying foxes are notoriously mobile – colonies constantly reform and move – and bats can travel up to 120 kilometres a night to forage for food.
"Bats move around – these animals here in Centennial Park might be in Gordon tomorrow," said Jane DeGabriel, a programs and policy officer with the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage.
Ms DeGabriel was undertaking a training program before the census, being run by the CSIRO, to ensure bat watchers across eastern Australia will all use the same counting methods.
There are thought to be roughly 300 grey-headed flying fox camps in eastern Australia and researchers plan to measure as many of them as possible between Thursday and Saturday.
The program is supported by the NSW Environment Minister, Robyn Parker, who promised that the state would commit resources to the full four-year study.

This item SHIPS FREE and comes with a BONUS mat and backing board so it's ready to frame!
Between Worlds
Art size: 14 in x 11 in
Outer mat size: 20 in x 16 in
Alcohol Ink on Paper
Matted and ready to pop in a frame!
This original, watercolor-style, aurora borealis art is made using a medium called Alcohol Ink. It looks like watercolor, but the pigments are much brighter, richer, and vibrant with a matte finish.
This vibrant, semi-abstract painting is energetic and ethereal. A mountain landscape is lit up by a bright pink and blue sky that seems to be reflected in water below.
This piece comes with a mat, backing board, and protected in a plastic sleeve. It is unframed, but it's a standard size that's easy to frame yourself! Note that the photo may not be quite to scale (see dimensions at the bottom of this description).
My work is inspired by nature, always. My eye is drawn to the patterns, colors, and the flowing energy I find in the woods of the Appalachian mountains.
Alcohol ink is a new medium with results similar to watercolor, but colors are more vibrant and rich. Instead of water, alcohol is used to spread the ink. It's incredibly engaging and fun, but is exceptionally difficult to control, requiring great precision, skill, and experience working with this unique medium. Nothing is preplanned. It unfolds as I go and I start see new patterns and shapes emerge that I slowly develop.

This isn't one specific homework question, but a concept I'm having trouble with in class. We were asked on a couple of questions recently on homework dealing with the probability density function of two random variables, $f_{X,Y}(x,y)$. We were given a joint probability density function and asked to find a given probability, like $P[X + Y > 5]$. One solid example being:
Given a Joint PDF $f_{X,Y}(x,y)$ let A be the event that $X + Y \leq 1$. Now, I know that $$P[A] = \int_A\int f_{X,Y}(x,y)dxdy$$ (at least, that's how my book writes it). My question is, how do I determine the bounds of those two integrals? In the solution manual for this particular problem, it is stated that the solution is $$P[X+Y\leq 1] = \int_0^1\int_0^{1-x}f_{X,Y}(x,y)dxdy$$
I can see pretty clearly that $x + (1-x)$ will always be less than or equal to one for $0 \leq x \leq 1$, so I understand why those bounds work. I'm just not sure I could have come up with them. Is there a process for figuring this out that I am missing? A similar question posed to us was given another joint PDF, let A be the event that $ X+Y>5$. I have no idea what the bounds would be for this one. Can someone show me how to find the integral bounds for questions like this?

Two Seattle startup companies are rolling out a new online advertising program today designed to help small hotels attract new customers and drive more brand awareness. Buuteeq plans to integrate the online ad platform from AdReady into its digital marketing system for hotels, the first of many new marketing services that Buuteeq CEO Forest Key says they plan to offer to customers.
Buuteeq is powering the Web sites of more than 1,500 hotels in 30 countries, including the Li-An Lodge in China and Tierra Atacama in Chile. As part of the new offering with AdReady, hotel customers of Buuteeq now will be able to buy "retargeting" advertisements for as little as a few hundred dollars per month.
Retargeting campaigns allow advertisers to continue to show their messages to potential customers even after they've left the site. For example, a person who visited a Web site of a small boutique hotel in Chile would then start to see ads appear for that very hotel as they cruised to various sites around the Internet.
"With retargeting, it is about taking the value of the traffic that you already generated somehow … and getting that traffic … to come back again," said Buuteeq CEO Forest Key. "It is a highly effective way to increase the conversion rates on the traffic that has wandered off and say: 'Hey, come back.'"
The end result is that a hotel that seems "bigger and larger than life" since the ads follow the user to so many other Web sites.
In early tests with four luxury hotels last year, Key said that the campaigns worked extremely well in driving more customers. Buuteeq itself uses the technique to drive customers to its own Web site, targeting hoteliers who've visited the company's site in the past.
AdReady CEO Karl Siebrecht said that the new effort will allow hotels to get "big results from small advertising budgets."
Buuteeq's Key estimates that hotels will spend up to $1,000 dollars per month on the retargeting campaigns. He said it will take just one or two bookings per month for most hotels to see a return on the investment, adding that hotels like the concept since it is amplifying a message to visitors who've already stumbled onto their sites through other marketing efforts.
Buuteeq raised $3.5 million from Seattle angel investors last year. AdReady — backed by Bain Capital, Khosla Ventures, Madrona Venture Group and others — has run more than 560,000 ads across about 150,000 sites since it was started.
[Editor's note: GeekWire subleases office space from Buuteeq].

PEG Attendees: Kate Allen, Lisa Bates, Jason Barnstead-Long, Paul Cathcart, Justin Douglas, Ivy Dunlap, Allen Field, Gabe Genauer, Ryan Givens, Bob Granger, Brett Homer, Denver Igarta, Rick Michaelson, Jennifer Moore, Mark Raggett, Nick Sauvie, Alison Stoll
Other Attendees: Linda Nettekoven, Chris Smith.
Key Points and Outcomes
- PEG members and staff need to be aware of our biases and assumptions, incorporate the differing perspectives and needs of Portland's racial/ethnic/cultural communities, and consider potential impacts of policies on non-mainstream communities.
- City policy should be more explicit about equity and include more detail about intention.
- Citywide policies should be flexible enough to be refined at a local scale by specific communities and to be adaptable and responsive to cultural differences.
- Consider the location of centers in terms of what areas and populations are being served and who is being excluded.
- Avoid gentrification so low-income and communities of color benefit from the improvement of centers.
Welcome, Introductions and Overview (8:00 a.m.)
Presenter: Steve Faust, Facilitator; Bill Cunningham, BPS
Summary: Steve opened the meeting and reviewed the agenda. Neighborhood Centers PEG members introduced themselves. Bill described equity-related resource materials posted around the room, including maps depicting communities of color, poverty, sidewalks and schools, 20-minute neighborhoods, zoning, homeownership, food access, household densities and transit access to jobs.
Equity Fundamentals / Neighborhood Centers Issues (8:10 a.m.)
Presenters: Dante James and Judith Mowry, Office of Equity and Human Rights, and Desiree Williams-Rajee, BPS
Summary: Staff from the City of Portland's Office of Equity and Human Rights presented and led discussions about racial and ethnic dimensions of equity and how they relate to neighborhood centers issues. Dante began by giving an overview of the topic. Among the key points of his presentation are:
- Equity is when identity has no detrimental affect on outcome, or when identity cannot predict outcomes.
- Go beyond demographics to talk about culture and differences.
- Be conscious of your biases and assumptions and involve all our diverse communities in formulation of policy.
- Consider the perspectives and needs of those who are not present in our discussions, especially racial/ethnic/cultural groups that have traditionally been excluded from policy decisions.
- If your goal is to raise all boats, successfully addressing racial disparities will achieve more than focusing on class or economics.
- Cultural consciousness is knowing what questions to ask. We need to ensure that all our diverse communities have the same access to opportunity and services accessible to mainstream society.
- Be an ally. Ask questions. Talk about culture and race. Practice.
Desiree introduced the "Four Commitments to Race Conversation:"
- Maintain an attitude of curiosity
- Don't make assumptions – ask questions
- Forgiveness of self and others – we all make mistakes
- Challenge yourself and others to keep doing better
Judith and Desiree led PEG members through a small group exercise to talk about how equity relates to three Neighborhood Centers-related topics: Neighborhood Centers, Neighborhood Compatibility, and Apartments and Parking. Each group discussed three questions: 1) What are our assumptions about this topic? 2) How does this impact communities of color? and 3) What don't we know about this topic?
Neighborhood Centers:
- Consider the location of centers in terms of what areas and populations are being served. Who is being excluded by the distribution of centers?
- Avoid making assumptions about what kinds of services are needed in centers. Involve all communities in the area around each center to find out what their needs are - both in terms of services and the types of housing.
- Don't assume that essential needs are always met by commercial services. Basic needs can also be met by providing opportunities for people to grow their own food.
- Avoid gentrification/displacement, otherwise lower-income communities and often communities of color will not benefit from the improvement of centers.
- Centers should be designed as places that bring our diverse communities together.
- Policies for centers should prioritize them as places for social services, not just commercial services.
- Who gets to determine the future of centers is critical to equity.
- Given our changing communities, centers should be designed to be culturally resilient, with adaptable built environments that are not designed for just one cultural group.
- City policy should be more explicit about equity and include more detail about intention. For example, the policy intent is to focus more public investment and other actions in areas that have fewer options.
- Citywide policies should be flexible enough to be refined at a local scale by specific communities. For example, local communities should help identify the mix of businesses that defines their "complete neighborhood."
- Implementation will be critical - that is where the details for a specific area will get worked out.Neighborhood Compatibility
- Not all existing neighborhood characteristics are positive. Some things will need to change to better meet the needs of people.
- Who decides what the desirable characteristics of an area are? Need to engage communities of color in this discussion. We cannot assume we know what neighborhood characteristics various cultural groups consider desirable.
- Policies assume that walkable street environments are desired everywhere. This may not be the case - we need to hear from all ofPortland's communities to find out how priorities vary in different areas.
- Don't use the term "Five Portlands" -- we are one Portland. Instead, use something like "Five Neighborhood Types."
Apartments and Parking
- Before we can talk about the equity issues related to apartments being built with no parking, we need to know the demographics of who is living in these developments (household size, race/ethnicity, income, etc.).
- Are these apartments truly affordable? Do they expand housing options? Consider the affordability impacts of requiring or not requiring parking.
- Consider impacts on commercial services.
- Low-income does not necessarily mean "no cars."
- The term "redlining" was used inappropriately in BPS's memo on the parking study and should be changed.
- Involve communities of color in this discussion.
Public Comment (9:45 a.m.)
No public comment.
Next Steps (9:55 a.m.)
Presenter: Steve Faust
Summary: PEG members agreed to keep the current schedule for December. The next meeting will be held on Thursday, December 20th at 8 a.m. Topics for the meeting include: multi-generational city, apartments and parking, and a growth scenarios update. PEG members did not oppose extending the meeting by 30 minutes to discuss these topics.
Adjourn (10:00 a.m.)

"X-Men: First Class"
a review by Darby O'Gill
What would happen if you took a comic book origin story and mixed it with an actual historical event? In a two words… pure awesomeness! X-Men: First Class does just that. Set during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, a young Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) is called upon by the CIA, to put together a team of young mutant powered heroes. One of which is Erik Lennsherr (Michael Fassbender), or as he's better known Magneto, and Charles' future nemesis. The two have very different views on the future of mutant-kind, and both are right in their own way. Now, I've stated before that I'm not the biggest Marvel Comics fan, but the one book that has always worked for me is The Uncanny X-Men. The story just works on so many levels: isolation, segregation, political and social unrest, and even varying stages of awkward pubescent adolescence. Even though the comics dealt with the adventures of costume clad super-powered heroes, they also always managed to always keep the subject matter of segregation as its driving force. It was that subject matter that director Bryan Singer was able to so brilliantly convey in the first X-Men movie. I think the first movie really opened the public's eyes to the types of subject matters comic books could instill in children. I for one, remember my own mother after seeing the first movie saying, "Is that what those comics were about?! I had no idea they gave you so much to think about." And it's that same attitude that makes X-Men: First Class just as good. Director Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass) doesn't just re-boot the series. He truly took his time in making X-Men: First Class a prequel that not only honors the previous films, but could also be seamlessly linked back to them. The surprise cameos helped in that department, but on a whole the movie just works.
With Magneto on Professor X's side this time around, the franchise gets to introduce yet another key protagonist in the X-Men saga, head of the Hellfire Club himself Sebastian Shaw, brilliantly played by Kevin Bacon. I don't think I would have ever considered Kevin Bacon for the role of Sebastian Shaw, but it worked! He oozes the character of Shaw, as I remember him from the books, on to the big screen. The hair and wardrobe, it's all dead-on. And yes, die hard comic book fans are just going to have to go with some of the movie's changes, as characters and events are slightly askew for this new tale. Another character making her big screen début is Emma Frost, played by January Jones. Jones definitely has the look, and she fit the '60's setting perfectly, but Frost's diamond form was a little off. I realize that this is a hard one to pull off, and that it worked to some degree, but I just think it could have been done a little better. Other than little things like that, the movie works amazingly well! Also, this story is truly epic! They manage to squeeze so much into the almost two and a half hour running time, that at times I found myself wishing it had been a TV series. I would have really loved to have seen plot points from this movie played out as hour long episodes. You can also tell that things were cut in order to keep the movie under a three hour mark, but will hopefully be made available when the movie comes out on DVD and Blu-ray. This is the summer of Marvel movies, and even though X-Men: First Class received the least amount of hype of Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger, I think it's going to end up by far being the best one of the bunch!

Well guys, I pulled the trigger today and bought a Rally roller of eBay...I've decided to join the RALLY crew and document my build as I go along .
I was going to build an eRevo GT but have shelved that project indefinitely for now after browsing the Rally forum over the past couple months...a rally looks like a whole lot of fun .
There are a few good build threads on the go here...lots of valuable information gathered. Thank you to all for sharing your build threads and taking the time to document as you go along. I like building, wrenching and customising my own rigs, I thought it would give it a go with a Rally.
I really like Humayray's Rally build...so that is what I am going for...a Rally GT build . I have taken a bit of info from all the build threads and this is what I am going to use for my build so far.
Aluminium shock towers front and rear.
Aluminium steering bell crank.
King Headz motor mount.
Steel CVD's.
Aluminium front C hubs and rear axle carriers.
17mm Hubs.
XO-1 Wheels...I bought 2 sets of fronts premounted, we'll see if they need to be taped was in use.
PROTOform PF8-GT body.
This should get me going with a good kick off to my build once all parts start arriving.
I am still toying with the idea of using a Tekin RX 2000kv combo in this build...I've had this motor and ESC lying around for a few months now...or I may look at getting another MMM 2200kv combo. I plan on using MOD1 gearing...starting off with maybe 20/36.
I plan on running mainly 4s, maybe 5s...I am still undecided at the moment.
My other trucks I have are an eRevo, Summit and an eSlayer Pro 4x4...making the Rally build #4; I am not sure how I am going to explain this one to my wife again ...I'll figure something out.

Rock n Rolla !
cheers mate,........your off to a new start lol. congrats on the purchase........ i'm sure your wife will understand
My MMP/2800kv is somewhat OK but, that torque that i experienced with the 2200 is far beyond.
Congrate dude!!! Can't wait to see this coming together. Post pics.....bunches of them. LOL
Weak Revenge
Strong Forgive
Intelligent Ignore
and....what 17mm adapters are you going to run? do you want the wheels offset more, or will the xo wheels stick out farther then buggy wheels?
I know that the MMM 2200kv is a beast in my eRevo .
The front set of wheels are similar dimensions to buggy wheel specs and has a slight offset in the rim of about 5mm I'm guessing from the pics. I am going to run fronts on all 4's. I chose XO-1's wheels because they say they are rated for 118mph...I bought them premounted hoping to get away without taping them. We'll see how this goes as I don't plan on getting anywhere near that speed.
I'll be happy if my car reaches the mid 50's and will be a dedicated 4s street machine...maybe running 5s/6s on the odd occasion. I know Humayray said he flipped his car on 6s so I will be using with caution.
Rock n Rolla !
Does anyone have suggestions for servo upgrade??
I have 2 brand new Savox servos at the moment which is an overkill for this rig...SA-1230SG and a SA-1231SG.
I am leaning towards one of these Savox servos...
SC-1251MG which is a direct replacement of the stock servo where @ 6V = 125oz-in torque and is only 25.4mm high
SC-1257TG @ 6V = 138.9oz-in torque and 37.2mm high
SC-1258TG @ 6V = 166.6oz-in torque and 37.2mm high
My thinking is the SC-1258TG...any advice would be greatly appreciated .
Rock n Rolla !
i've always wanted to buy this one. 6v @ 222oz-in torque
^^^yeah mate...that's a good servo and for the price its a steal.
I'm thinking of getting SC-1258TG. The specs are as follows:
Dimensions(mm): 40.3x20.2x37.2
Weight(g): 52.4
Speed(@4.8V sec/60): .10
Torque(@4.8V oz-in): 133.3
Speed(@6.0V sec/60): .08
Torque(@6.0V oz-in): 166.6
Gear: Titanium & Aluminum
Bearing: 2BB
Case: Aluminum
25 Tooth Spline
The stock servo is 125 oz-in so the SC-1258TG at 166.6 is already a big improvement and has lightning speed. The servo height is also what grabbed my attention been 37.2mm high as opposed to the stock servo height of 42.3mm.
I thought with looking at a bigger motor like the MMM 2200kv combo for this rig that 5mm difference in height may come in handy and not make the chassis look so cluttered .
Speaking of servos, how do you find the performance of your truck running stock servo with the extra weight from the motor and servo.
I am more excited about this build than all my other builds...and now the waiting game has begun .
Rock n Rolla !
I run a couple of the 1258TG Savox servos and they are beasts. I totally recommend them. You might need a glitch buster depending on which ESC you go with. If you can get your hands on the new Mamba Monster v.2 (waterproof) it has a better built in BEC. You can set it between 5-7v. Which would handle this Servo very well.

Cheers Digger, thanks for the info mate.
I run a Savox SA-1230SG in my Summit and just recently noticed how this servo was glitching...at first I thought my servo was broken (on its way out) because it was only glitching when I would turn the wheels right. I tried the SA-1230SG servo in my other 2 trucks and the same thing happened...I bought a replacement servo thinking it was broken; I should of known better. The new one came and same story. I have just recently ordered a glitch buster for my Summit to see if it helps with the problem...The Summit has the stock EVX2 in it and DeWalt 14.4V motor mod.
In my eSlayer Pro 4x4 I am using the Savox SA-1231SG and running the Hobbywing 120A 2000kv combo...this servo performs well and has no glitching whatsoever.
Maybe it glitches in my Summit because its more power hungry?? I am well impressed with the Savox servos and for the price you get them at.
In my eRevo I am running a Hitec HS-7950TH servo without an external BEC and changed my ESC's BEC to 6V with the field link programmer. This servo also performs well on the MM without any glitching.
I pulled the trigger again yesterday and ended up buying a new MM2 ESC and a Castle 2200kv motor off eBay for my Rally build.
With your feedback from the post above I've settled on the Savox SC-1258TG servo...$60 delivered to my desk, can't beat that mate.
I've blown well above my intended budget for this build...by a lot . What we do for the hobby, you got to love it...once again, thanks for the info mate.

Rock n Rolla !
awesome! I want a Kyosho Inferno 1/8 Subaru STi body for this build but they can't be found easily or at all anymore. Ive seen pics of them on slashes and its amazing looking. GL with your build tho man, The setup sounds promising
'Life is for living, not living uptight'
1258 is great crazy fast, but it needs a glitch buster, also all savox are noisy. Hitec servos runs smoother also futaba. When are we going to see the first pics ?..
@Craig glad to help ya. Hope the glitch buster is the fix for your other 2 servos.

The pics will start once the roller arrives...which should be a couple weeks I hope. Shipping to Australia is not always the best at times....
Thanks for the input on the servos mate...I appreciate it!

I'll run the SC-1258TG servo on the new MM2 without a glitch buster first, setting the internal voltage via the field link programmer to 6V and see how we go. Thanks for your input mate...I appreciate it.
Out of curiosity:
What weight shock oil you running F/R??...I know you are using the Jato blue springs.
What diff oil you running F/R??...since I am basing my build primarily on your build; your rig looks good in your latest vid.

thats awesome mate...i cant wait for all the pictures for us to see
sshhhhh..........i'm also buying parts little by little to build an XO-1, so far i got the motor mount and chassis/top brace.
Nice ...as always I will follow your build. Thanks for all the info and help mate.
Rock n Rolla !
Just a little update...bits and pieces have finally started to show up today.
So far what's come in:
Aluminium shock towers front and rear.
Aluminium steering bell crank.
King Headz motor mount.
A few other odds and ends...I will reveal all as I slowly start to build my rig.
I am very anxious and waiting patiently for my roller to arrive...I can't do much until that's here. I plan on totally stripping my roller down and rebuilding to my liking.
I've probably gone a bit overboard on the parts I have ordered...but hey, I wanted too at the end of the day .
Rock n Rolla !
thats awesome mate. after i get my XO-1 GT8 done....i'm going to build a stock Rally with ford focuz body and powered it with my Losi ESC/2800kv that way i can bash right here at the near park lol.
Well, it's finally here...I got my Roller today and there are a lot of things I am going to change and customise to my liking...still a few things outstanding... .
A big thanks to those with their build threads on here as I have taken a bit of info from all...
Rock n Rolla !
And so it begins. Know the inside details of this one, cannot wait to see the finished product.
Always get a 2nd Opinion!
A little update...not much really to add.
So far all I have done is fit my Tekin T8 2000kv motor to the chassis with mod1 gearing (22/36) to see how it fits. The gearing fits great; the motor can is long so there might be some slight trimming of the chassis. I am still waiting on the motor to arrive that I have bought for my Rally which is a 2000kv motor.
No trimming will be done until the motor arrives which will be hopefully sometime this week. Shipping from the States to Australia is long winded and frustrating at times like now. I have the majority of parts now for this build but am still waiting on the motor, A-arms and my body.
Rock n Rolla !
Let the MOD's begin...
Finally after what seemed to be a very long wait my motor has arrived...I am still waiting for the A-Arms to arrive but have everything else I need to begin my build .
I am really looking forward to this build and want to make the Rally GT8 my best build out of all my rigs I have .
On this rig I am running the new MMM2 with the 1515/1Y-2200kV Neu Motor. In order to get this motor to be a nice fit a slight bit of trimming on the chassis was required.
I used my Dremel with the sanding disk to trim the chassis back to fit the motor as shown below.
Before trimming the chassis:
You can see the scollop I have made to accommodate the motor.
After trimming the chassis:
As you can see in the above pic that there is a nice ±5mm clearance gap between the motor and the chassis.
Next, this chassis will be dyed black...the same as my other chassis to keep my rigs looking similar. Any how...I personally do like the look of a black chassis .
Rock n Rolla !
Black Rit Dye...This is the powder form, I find it very easy and convenient to use.
And the end result...The chassis came out good; I am a fan of the black dyed chassis.
And here where I scolloped the chassis to fit the motor is hardly noticeable now that the chassis is dyed.
My method of Rit Dyeing
To rid dye I would add the whole packet of dye, in as much water as I need and mix the powder until all dissolved in the water. I would add 500ml of vinegar along with my parts and leave over the stove top with low heat.
For this dye session I kept at a low heat for roughly 3hrs and then left overnight. The whole process took roughly 10hrs before I emptied the bath and washed the parts that had been dyed off.
While on the stove top I never let the water boil once...when I saw a few bubbles appear I would lower the heat or turn off.
This is my dye bath I use...I got it down at the local hardware store for $12. They call it a galvanised bucket here in Australia.
Rock n Rolla !
Amazing job with the mods! Can't wait to see how it looks all put together with the dyed chassis.
I'll definitely be watching this build. Looks like you have a great plan going into this! Looking forward to seeing the progress.
here one thing that i did to the batt tray mate.....i use a strip of gorrila tape to keep it neat and getting scratched up....little stone tend to crip in under there between the lipo and now my lipo wrap has tiny dipples lol.
love the bucket mate...i can sure use one of those
Rock n Rolla !

Post-bop jazz has produced only a few first-rate composers of larger forms; Carla Bley ranks high among them. Bley possesses an unusually wide compositional range; she combines an acquaintance with and love for jazz in all its forms with great talent and originality. Her music is a peculiarly individual type of hyper-modern jazz. Bley is capable of writing music of great drama and profound humor, often within the confines of the same piece. As an instrumentalist, she makes a fine composer; she plays piano and/or organ with most of her bands, and while her playing is always quite musical, it's clear that her strengths lie elsewhere. Bley's asymmetrical compositional structures subvert jazz formula to wonderful effect, and her unpredictable melodies are often as catchy as they are obscure. In the tradition of jazz's very finest composers and improvisers, Bley has developed a style of her very own, and the music as a whole is the better for it.
Born Carla Borg, Bley learned the fundamentals of music as a child from her father, a church musician. Thereafter, she was mostly self-taught. She moved to New York around 1955, where she worked as a cigarette girl and occasional pianist. She married pianist Paul Bley, for whom she began to write tunes (she also wrote for George Russell and Jimmy Giuffre). In 1964, with her second husband, trumpeter Michael Mantler, Bley formed the Jazz Composer's Guild Orchestra, which a year later became known simply as the Jazz Composer's Orchestra. Two years later, Bley helped found the Jazz Composer's Orchestra Association, a nonprofit organization designed to present, distribute, and produce unconventional forms of jazz.
Gary Burton's quartet recorded Bley's cycle of tunes A Genuine Tong Funeral, which brought her to the attention of the general public for the first time. In 1969, Bley composed and arranged music for Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra. In 1971, she completed the work that cemented her reputation, the jazz opera Escalator Over the Hill. In the '70s and '80s, Bley continued to run the JCOA and compose and record for her own Watt label. The JCOA essentially folded in the late '80s, but Bley's creative life continued mostly unabated. For much of the past two decades, she's maintained a midsized big band with fairly stable personnel to tour and record. She's also worked a great deal with the bassist Steve Swallow, in duo and in ensembles of varying size.
Bley wrote the music for the soundtrack to the 1985 film Mortelle Randone. She also contributed new compositions to the Liberation Music Orchestra's second incarnation in 1983. All through the '80s, '90s, and into the new millennium, Bley continued releasing albums through ECM, ranging from duets with bassist Steve Swallow to the Very Big Carla Bley Band. She released a third duets album with Steve Swallow, Are We There Yet?, in 2000; Looking for America in 2003; The Lost Chords Find Paolo Fresu in 2007; and the big-band album Appearing Nightly in 2008. In 2013, Bley returned with Trios, featuring Swallow and saxophonist Andy Sheppard; the album marked the very first time that the pianist recorded for ECM proper instead of WATT, which had been her home for over 40 years. Her next ECM effort, 2016's Andando el Tiempo, also showcased her trio with Swallow and Sheppard.

BALTIMORE — Halftime belonged to Ray Lewis, and pregame was reserved for teammates welcoming former Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed back as a Houston Texan.
But Sunday's game belonged to a fast-improving Ravens defense.
Since Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning roasted the Ravens for seven touchdowns in that season-opening, 49-27 demolition, the 2-1 Ravens haven't allowed a touchdown in the last eight quarters. They held the Texans to three Randy Bullock field goals to steal the show in a 30-9 victory on a day when Lewis was inducted into the Ring of Honor at halftime.
"It wasn't about them,'' cornerback Lardarius Webb said of Lewis and Reed. "The Ring of Honor was about Ray. But today was all about playing for the man beside you. Those guys aren't beside us anymore.
"We love and respect them, but we're playing to show what our defense is like now without those guys, showing this is a new defense. We want to be a great defense.''
BOX SCORE: Ravens 30, Texans 9
LEWIS HONORED: Ray rocks Baltimore one more time
The Ravens have allowed 15 points over their last two games. The Texans' fourth-ranked offense converted three of 12 third-down attempts.
Baltimore hasn't missed a beat without Lewis considering how 10th-year linebacker Daryl Smith has proved to be general manager Ozzie Newsome's best acquisition of 2013.
The former Jacksonville Jaguar has led the Ravens in tackles the past two games. And his second-quarter interception return for a touchdown did more than recall the type of big plays Lewis made.
It changed everything.
With the Texans leading 6-3 and facing first-and-10 on their own 35-yard line, Smith undercut Houston tight end Owen Daniels on a crossing route. Quarterback Matt Schaub never saw him, and Smith raced 37 yards into the end zone, igniting a sold-out M&T Bank Stadium crowd of 71,168.
PHOTOS: Best of Week 3 action
"I've seen him make that play a bunch of times in practice," coach John Harbaugh said. "I guess there is an article to be written here about Ray going into the Ring of Honor and Daryl playing the way he played — not only in this game but the way he's played all year.''
When Houston went three-and-out on the possession after Smith's interception return, Tandon Doss returned a punt 82 yards for a touchdown. Schaub and the Texans never threatened thereafter.
Missing tailback Ray Rice, whose streak of 43 consecutive starts ended due to a Week 2 hip flexor injury, Baltimore's offense sputtered, going 3-and-out its first two possessions. The Ravens were fortunate to be trailing just 6-3 thanks to the early pressure generated by a front seven that sacked Schaub three times.
"Anytime you can start off slow like that, have some help from your defense and your special teams, that really kick-starts your team," quarterback Joe Flacco said. "That really propelled us today. . "We are a young team. We have a lot of new guys. And we were thin at the running back position today. Our defense really hung in there while we were trying to get our feet under us.''
Smith had a team-high 10 tackles. James Ihedigbo, not Reed, was the best safety on the field with nine tackles. And linebacker Terrell Suggs rang up a sack and a quarterback hit.
"The only people who panicked was you guys about how terrible we were in the first game without Ray Lewis,'' Suggs said, referencing the media's reaction to the Broncos loss. "We didn't panic. …
"We don't have Ray Lewis anymore — he was our emotional leader, so it's going to take more of a group effort to lead this team," Suggs said.

This website features live coverage of the hatching, feeding and fledging of the largest swallow in North America:
The lovable and fascinating Purple Martin
Yep, this is live. And don't forget to turn the sound up.
And tell the kids!
Our Purple Martins will arrive in late April/early May and will depart in August not long after the chicks leave the nest. We call this fledging. The chicks call it scary. Not long after fledging, the whole family (including the new members) will fly off to their winter home in Brazil, really - Brazil! And come back next year. Cool!
The column on the right is written by naturalists from the Connecticut Audubon Society. (Scroll down for photos of some of Connecticut Audubon's faithful). These neo Darwins are the only wise men and women standing between a busy shore line of birds galore and an empty wasteland of man-made decay. Audubon volunteers work to ensure your grandchildren will actually see a live Purple Martin.
Audubon's piece at right offers information about Connecticut's Purple Martin world, including our population at
Your questions welcome.
Here are links created by bird lovers who became as fascinated with this drama as were the slaves who lived in colonies in early America. They placed real gourds, carved out, on a pole or a high clothes line. These imprisoned people must have watched enviously as the free Purple Martins spent the whole day swooping out and about, back and forth in non-stop daily feedings and finally, their departure for the flight back to Brazil.
You will find everything you wanted to know about Purple Martins at these websites:
We were waiting anxiously for our young Martins to leave the nest, as we expected them to head out into the wild blue yonder any time. After all, they were nearly ready to fly when we banded them on July 11. Probably instigated by curious raccoons climbing on the pole, they left the nest sometime on Sunday.
We'll see if the parents bring them back to the nest to roost for a few nights before they leave the colony for good this year.
Now comes the hard part, they must learn how to catch flying insects as well as avoid predators and find their way to Brazil! For now, however, they will remain in the neighborhood, then join other Martin groups and finally begin their trek south in September.
GazeboPhil watchers will note that some of the other Martins have not yet fledged. We have a delayed hatching this year with a whole range of age groups among the gourds! Nonetheless, they must all be fledged by mid-August as they prepare for a long flight south.
Until then we will keep the cameras rolling!

Q: Our babies are getting ready to try out their wings. Once they jump the gourd, will they return to it for the evenings, or is that and we won't see them anymore? I'm sure there will be more than one tear or two out here when that happens! -- Carol P., Bridgeport,CT
A: The young may end up roosting somewhere else nearby in a safe location rather than returning to their gourd once they are of a certain fledged age. Initially they will probably return with their parents but it will not be long before they have a little more independence. You still may see them together as they learn to fend for themselves during the daylight hours.

Q: Sparrows evicted but keep coming back trying to make new nests and lay eggs. Time to start trapping. My two chicks have just fledged. Curiously two days ago, after I cleaned the nest and placed them on pine shavings, they left their original nest and moved into a different compartment. I figured they couldn't have done that unless they were flying. Larry -- Larry W., yellow springs,OH
A: Good luck and stay persistent! Even if they are unable of flying at a high skill level they may be able to take short little flights to move around.

Dear Gazebophiles,
Below is a letter we received from a U.S. soldier in Iraq. Pardon our pride, we are all pumped around here knowing that our BHU (Bird Housing Unit) is playing a CSU (Combat Housing Unit) somewhere in what is probably a lousy neighborhood.
For our soldier visiting us: Thanks, Ms.W. (You didn't tell us your rank) You made our day. You might say, we're tickled purple!
I am an active duty Soldier, currently stationed in Iraq, as part of the combat stress control team. I can't tell you how great it has been the last few weeks, to check in to your webcam, in anticipation of the arrival of a nesting pair of these beautiful and interesting birds. And how exciting it is to watch them begin to set up house in the gourd. I love to hear the whole flock- my CHU (Combat Housing Unit) is filled with their songs. I have sent the site to my team members and am certain they are watching in wonder, as well. I will be giving it to many of our stresed out soldiers, too. It is a very wholesome, relaxing and stress-reducing activity! Thank you for setting this up! I am eager to follow the progression from setting up house, to flight of the fledgelings!

Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Kripa K. Varanasi has just been selected to receive the 2013 Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME). Varanasi is one of only seven recipients of the award this year, which is conferred in recognition of Varanasi's achievements and leadership in the field.
Most people do not give surfaces a second thought, but for Varanasi they form the basis of everything. His days working at General Electric taught him how crucial a surface can be.
"One of the areas where I saw significant challenges was surfaces and interfaces," Varanasi says. "Every phenomena happens on a surface or an interface. Whether it be energy transport or mass transport, everything happens at an interface between two materials."
When Varanasi came to MIT, one of the first things he did was address the classic 100-year-old problem of moisture-induced efficiency losses in steam turbines. To solve it, Varanasi developed a completely new class of highly non-wetting, super-slippery, multi-structured liquid coatings that repel water droplets that impact or condense on the surface, thus preventing moisture from forming on blades. He says that the coating can be applied using the existing coating equipment by simply modifying the processes and materials, thus opening up retrofitting opportunities at every level of the value chain.
Conversely, Varanasi's super-wetting coatings combat the opposite problem of surfaces so hot that vapor forms over them and repels any water, such as that used for cooling purposes. It's precisely the situation that can cause such powerplant disasters as the one that occurred in Fukushima, Japan, in 2010. Varanasi and his group have developed new nano-engineered, multi-structured highly wetting coatings to solve this problem. At temperatures greater than 400 degrees Fahrenheit, he is able to get the water droplets to anchor to the surface. Some of his other areas of work include coatings that prevent ice build-up on aircrafts or power lines, novel separation membranes, coatings that prevent hydrate plugs in deep sea oil wells for improved flow assurance, enhancing water recovery in desalination, power generation, agriculture, and oil and gas, as well as developing new approaches for scalable manufacturing of these nano-engineered surfaces and coatings.
"Coating manufacturing requires integration and collocation of various disciplines and helps de-commoditization of technology. It opens up a large scope for retrofit opportunities that can allow for tracking advancing frontiers and lead to continuous transformation of products and thereby create local jobs. It can also lead to reduced dependence on imported and expensive materials," Varanasi says.
Varanasi has received several awards in recent years, including the DARPA Young Faculty Award and the NSF CAREER Award. His newest surface coating invention, LiquiGlide, a nontoxic, nonstick, super slippery coating for condiment bottles, has received international attention recently, and was named a best invention of 2012 by Time magazine.

In today's marketplace business owners of every size are looking for unique ways to market themselves. What makes this such a hard undertaking is the fact that finding something unique, affordable and brandable for your business is hard to find. A smart business person would ask, why spend all the money on marketing if you can't tailor make it for your business. I totally agree and want to give you some guidance in how to use personalized products to market your business. There are two different categories that can be used in this style of marketing. A business owner can personalized a product for the customer or using the product to personalize the business.
All businesses need a customer base to be successful. In the best of times this can be difficult to achieve and maintain. During this economic downturn smart business owners start looking outside of what they already have set up in their marketing campaigns. Thinking outside of the box and looking at other alternatives for their marketing plans.
If a business deals with product a great idea would be to bring personalized items to their customers. This would benefit your customers with products and gifts that are unique and highly sought after.
When looking for marketing or promotion items a company looks for products that are unique enough to capture a potential customer's interest while still being affordable enough to make the marketing campaign affordable. Having the business name on the product is important and if being able to add what the company represents on the promotional item is an option, its one that will often be opt in too. This branding is something that businesses work hard on and if done successfully will show returns that make a business owner happy. Personalized items bring that branding to your company giving the customer all the information you want them to have plus putting a unique product in front of them with an affordable price tag.
Bringing personalized product to your business arena will benefit you with your customers but also can be used in the office to increase productivity with your staff as well. If you run contests or drives in your office and need a unique product as a reward the benefits of personalized products are the same for staff as for a customer. They can be customized and made for the individual. You can also brand it with the company name, colors, logos and other ways. The same item can also be used but appear to be custom made for each employee. Price point is also an appeal; personalized products are high quality items made special by information for individuals making having a higher expensive perception that what is actually paid.

Spray Drying
DGC's spray drying plant has been designed specifically to process goat infant formula.
Spray drying is the process of removing water from the milk, producing the beginning of the fine powder that is eventually found in the finished product.
Our spray dryers are kept meticulously clean and the most recent, second spray dryer was built in 2015.
Warehousing and Distribution
Warehousing and distribution are the final phase of the process. Finished and filled cans are held in the warehouse until final, independent testing is completed so that the product can be safely released.
Once released, the cans are loaded and driven to Port Tauranga for export.
An infant goat milk formula made without palm oil
The fat content of formula must be modified to include several essential fatty acids. Many formulas are based on skim milk where the milk fat is replaced by vegetable oils, including palm oil.1
DGC has adopted an alternative approach, using whole goat milk to retain milk fat. Vegetable oils are still added to top up the essential unsaturated fatty acids in goat milk, but it is not necessary to use palm oil if milk fat is included in the formula.
Our research has also shown that there is also no need to use highly modified ingredients such as OPO.2

|Prosser et al, 2010
There is a common belief that goat milk is a sound alternative for infants or children with cow milk protein allergy. This has resulted in the promotion of goat milk and goat milk products for relief of allergy. However, scientific studies show that goat milk is not always an effective substitute for cow milk in children who are already sensitised to cow milk protein and have a rapid onset, IgE-mediated reaction to cow milk proteins. Only extensively hydrolysed formulas should be used for the dietary management of infants with diagnosed cow milk protein allergy.1
There are several lines of evidence that the strength and type of the immune response to goat and cow milk might still differ. For example, children allergic to cow milk required nearly five times more goat milk to trigger an adverse reaction.2 In another study, 25% of children allergic to cow milk did not react to goat milk at all.3 Children with allergy to cow milk proteins had a lower response to goat milk containing low amounts of αs1-casein.4 Similarly, studies with animals have also shown that lower levels of αs1-casein in goat milk resulted in fewer allergic reactions.5
Further research will help to understand how people might respond differently to goat or cow milk.
Until such studies have been completed, it is important that goat milk infant formula is not promoted as a remedy for infants with severe reactions to cow milk.

West Shines In WNBA All-Star
In the end, the West didn't need Cynthia Cooper.
Not when it still had Tina Thompson, Cooper's teammate on the three-time WNBA champion Houston Comets, and Lisa Leslie of Los Angeles.
Thompson had 13 points and a record 11 rebounds to garner MVP honors, and Leslie scored a record 16 points as the Western Conference beat the East 73-61 Monday night in the league's second All-Star game.
"I was surrounded by a lot of great players," Thompson said. "They were double-teaming Lisa a little bit, so I was open. The East came in as a big underdog, but they played real hard."
"I didn't think she had a shot to win it," said West coach Van Chancellor, who coaches Thompson and Cooper at Houston. "They told me she'd won it before they announced it, and I felt like a father I was so proud."
Cooper, a two-time WNBA MVP who sprained an ankle last week, watched in street clothes.
The outcome could have been worse, like last year's 18-point win by the West in the inaugural game, but the West committed 23 turnovers.
"They dominated," the East's Chamique Holdsclaw of Washington said. "They pushed the ball up the court and set the pace."
Mwadi Mabika, Leslie's teammate with the Sparks, and Yolanda Griffith of Sacramento each scored 10 points.
Taj McWilliams of Orlando, who finished with 10 points, made two free throws with 2:47 to play to bring the East within 66-59.
Tari Phillips of New York, who also had 10 points, scored 55 seconds later to cut the deficit to five.
But Griffith, who displaced Cooper as the league MVP last year, made a layup with 1:37 to play, opening a 68-61 lead, and Brandy Reed, Griffith and Ticha Penicheiro of Sacramento each made a free throw down the stretch.
"They were big inside," Phillips said. "We had a couple of opportunities to make a dent, but a couple of rebounds did not go our way."
Reed, a Phoenix forward left off the West roster in voting by both the fans (starters) and coaches (reserves), was added as a 12th player by the league last week to avoid a fan revolt in the host city. But she fizzled on the court, shooting 1-for-11 and turning the ball over three times.
"I was really trying not to pay attention to the crowd, but I was paying too much attention, and maybe that's why some of my shots didn't fall," Reed said.
There were 11 lead changes and three ties in the first half, and the teams went 5@1/2 minutes in one stretch separated by no more than a point.
Then the reserves lifted the East to its high-water mark.
Orlando's Shannon Johnson and Nykesha Sales, Sue Wicks of New York and Charlotte's Andrea Stinson all scored unanswered baskets. Stinson was fouled attempting her 10-foot jumper, and the resulting three-point play with 7:06 remaining gave the East a 26-21 lead.
But the West had a backup waiting.
Mabika had seven points over thfinal 6:46 of the half, and the West outscored the East 19-7 to take a 40-33 halftime lead.
"The West started out real slow, but we picked it up with defense," Leslie said.
The game was televised in 154 countries and 23 languages, but was hardly a classic.
The West shot 37.7 percent and the East 29.4 percent, and the East committed 15 turnovers.
A bigger factor was rebounding as the West finished with a 60-40 advantage on the boards.
"Obviously, the rebounding was the difference," East coach Richie Adubato of New York said. "Sixty to 40. They had a little size on us."

Rumors have been rampant the last couple of weeks that the Newspaper Agency Corporation, which prints and distributes both the Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret Morning News, planned to stop delivery to southeastern Utah (Grand and San Juan counties) on the first of February.
Several phone calls to both papers on January 23 were met with declarations of ignorance on the subject.
On the 24th, I received a telephone call from Kelly Roberts who was in a position to assure me that delivery would continue as usual and that there was nothing to worry about.
I asked Roberts to respond to why the rumor got started in the first place, given the fact that nothing will change.
"We recently renegotiated multi-year contracts with our carriers and we had problems south of Price." he said.
"Our delivery ends at Price and another carrier has to piggy-back the papers to Moab, Monticello and Blanding. We were having problems with the negotiations and from a pure dollars and cents issue, southeastern Utah is one our least profitable runs, given the distances involved for the number of papers sold.
"For a few days the business people who look at things from the dollar and cents side of things were suggesting we discontinue delivery south of Price.
"We are sorry anything leaked out. I suspect the rumors started with those involved in the carrier contracts. We want to be the state newspaper, and as long as we can justify it, newspapers will come to Grand and San Juan as they always have."

SAC case deadline may force U.S. to tip hand on any Cohen deal
Bloomberg News
Prosecutors face a deadline next week that may force them to tip their hand on whether they're in plea talks with an ex-SAC Capital Advisors LP manager to get him to testify against founder Steven Cohen about insider trading.
Federal speedy-trial rules require Manhattan prosecutors to secure a grand jury indictment by Dec. 26 against portfolio manager Mathew Martoma, who was charged in a complaint Nov. 20 with making illegal trades on two drug company stocks after receiving confidential tips.
Martoma, 38, may agree to postpone the U.S. deadline. If he does, it is customary for the prosecutors requesting the adjournment to sometimes tell the presiding judge whether the two sides are in plea talks, or at least provide some hint of negotiations.
"There are all types of reasons why they could adjourn the case," said Stephen Miller, a former federal prosecutor in New York and Philadelphia. "It gives the government more time to investigate the case and to negotiate all types of plea deals."
In what U.S. prosecutors call the "most lucrative" insider scheme ever, Martoma was accused of trading on shares of Elan and Wyeth, based on tips he got from Sidney Gilman, a University of Michigan neurologist.
Gilman, 80, oversaw a clinical trial of an Alzheimer's drug by Wyeth and Elan and allegedly passed the results to Martoma before the disappointing news became public, prosecutors said. The trades netted $276 million in profits and avoided losses for CR Intrinsic Investors, an affiliate of Stamford-based SAC, prosecutors said.
Not Named
The complaint doesn't name Cohen, referring only to a "Hedge Fund Owner" with whom Martoma spoke. A person familiar with the case identified the fund owner as Cohen last month.
Martoma, who lives in Boca Raton, Florida, and was fired from SAC in 2010, hasn't responded to the charges, though his lawyer has said he will be exonerated. Gilman entered a cooperation deal in which the U.S. agreed not to prosecute him.
Jonathan Gasthalter, a spokesman for SAC, declined to comment on the deadline. He has said Cohen, a Greenwich resident, and SAC acted appropriately in making the trades.
Defense attorney Charles Stillman, who said at Martoma's court hearing last month that he'd likely seek an adjournment, didn't return calls for comment. Jerika Richardson, a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, declined to say if prosecutors will seek an indictment from a grand jury or ask for an extension.
With an indictment, which members of a grand jury decide on following a presentation of evidence by prosecutors, Martoma's case will be assigned to another judge and head toward a trial. It's also possible Martoma will eventually plead guilty without entering into a cooperation deal, lawyers said.
A Pause
Matt Levine, a former U.S. prosecutor in Brooklyn, New York, said a court filing next week may signal that negotiations are underway or represent a pause in proceedings before an indictment is handed down. Galleon Group co-founder Raj Rajaratnam, now serving 11 years in prison for insider trading following his conviction, wasn't indicted until two months after his arrest.
"Before indictment, the conventional wisdom is that the government and the defense have much more flexibility on how they're going to reach a resolution," Levine, who is now in private practice, said in a telephone interview. "It's not unusual in my experience for an extension to be sought."
Martoma rejected several government bids for cooperation, according to a person familiar with the case. When first confronted by an FBI agent on the lawn of his mansion last year, he fainted, another person said.
Martoma's arrest, followed by a well-publicized press conference by U.S. officials, may spur him to reconsider the government's cooperation bid.
No Room
"Now that the indictment is imminent, Martoma may be running out of maneuvering room," said Anthony Sabino, who teaches law at the Tobin School of Business at St. John's University in New York. "The government's leverage may have increased dramatically."
Criminal defendants typically seek leniency at sentencing in return for cooperation. Ex-Intel executive Rajiv Goel was sentenced to probation in September after testifying against Rajaratnam.
Added incentive for Martoma to plead guilty may come from the Dec. 17 guilty verdicts of ex-Diamondback Capital Management portfolio manager Todd Newman and Level Global Investors co-founder Anthony Chiasson in a $72 million insider scheme. Newman and Chiasson, who left SAC Capital to start Level Global, face as many as 20 years in prison at their April sentencing.
Level Global had offices is Greenwich and New York City, and Diamonback is closing its Stamford headquarters.
Increased Pressure
"Two very high-profile convictions increase the pressure," said John Sylvia, who co-chairs the securities litigation practice at Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky and Popeo.
If there's no indictment next week, Sylvia doubts prosecutors will offer details of potential plea talks in their upcoming court filing, which may contain boilerplate language designed to meet legal requirements for a postponement.
"They probably want to keep things shrouded in a little bit of mystery," he said in a telephone interview. Doing so would "keep the heat on other people" prosecutors may be targeting, said Sylvia, who isn't involved in the case.
During the trial of Chiasson and Newman, the judge ruled Level Global's other co-founder, SAC Capital alumnus David Ganek, and SAC Capital fund manager Michael Steinberg, were unindicted co-conspirators. Neither has been charged with a crime. The trial also revealed e-mail messages the government has obtained in its investigation involving another SAC portfolio manager, Gabe Plotkin. He hasn't been charged with a crime either.
Portfolio Managers
Plotkin, who hasn't been accused of wrongdoing, is one of 10 portfolio managers at Sigma focusing on consumer stocks. He joined SAC in 2006 and is among the firm's top portfolio managers, overseeing more than $1 billion, according to a person with knowledge of the firm.
At the same time, Martoma may be innocent and unwilling to plead or have no information implicating Cohen or others at SAC. Then, the U.S. case would begin and end with Martoma.
"He's got to have the facts," said Miller, who is now in private practice at Cozen O'Connor. Otherwise, "the government would have no interest."
It could take anywhere from a few days to many months for the two sides to hammer out a deal, should there be one.
WorldCom Precedent
Scott Sullivan, the former finance chief at WorldCom, didn't appear in court to plead guilty and disclose his cooperation until 1½ years after his indictment for accounting fraud at what was then the second-largest U.S. long-distance company.
Sullivan testified against former Chief Executive Officer Bernard Ebbers, who was convicted and sentenced to prison for 25 years. Sullivan, another Boca Raton resident, served five years for his role in the $11 billion fraud.
Jon Horvath, an analyst at SAC unit Sigma Capital Management LLC, fought insider charges from his February arrest until September, when he pleaded guilty a month before trial and agreed to cooperate. After his 2010 arrest, French physician Yves Benhamou agreed to help prosecutors build a case against FrontPoint Partners LLC fund manager Joseph Skowron, who later pleaded guilty.
A near-certainty is that there won't be a preliminary hearing on the Martoma matter next week, Miller said. Under the law, prosecutors, rather than indicting Martoma, may present evidence to a judge establishing "probable cause" to accuse him of insider trading. Such a probable cause determination will in turn allow them to proceed toward trial.
Rather than holding a hearing and subjecting government witnesses to cross-examination by a defense lawyer, prosecutors would simply ask a grand jury to indict him, he said.
