I've just got this email on BugTraq today. It prove that it is possible to write a virus for OS X. --------- OSX Root Compromise 04/05/2005 Summary: OSX can be root compromised by a trojan application. The trojan application does not require explicit user authentication to elevate its privileges to root, nor does the root account need to be enabled. The Trojan application must be run from an account that is in the admin group, which is the default for the first account created and the context in which most users run. Once executed, the trojan application must only wait until the user leverages the sudo utility, either at the command line or by another application that leverages sudo to elevate it's privileges. A demonstration app is available at www.adbas.net/software/rooted.dmg Status: The issue has been reported to Apple. Apple does not feel this is an issue as "Administrators should not run arbitrary software." While it is true that users should be cautious of running untrusted code, this answer is unacceptable. Administrators are required to authenticate actions to the core operating system. This vulnerability allows applications to bypass this requirement by "piggy-backing" off an unrelated authorization event. Versions Affected: OSX 10.3.x confirmed, OSX 10.2 probable Issue: There are 3 factors that allow this to be possible: 1) sudo is by default, configured to allow a 5 minute password time out. This means that subsequent use of sudo, within this grace period does not require a password for authentication. 2) sudo is by default, configured to be global, meaning its session is not tied to a tty but rather to only the user and time. 3) sudo writes its entries to /var/log/system.log, which, by default, is readable by anyone in the admin group. All the trojan application needs to do is monitor the /var/log/system.log file for sudo entries for the user who executed the trojan. Once an entry is found, that is within the timeout grace window, the trojan can then elevate it's privileges to root by simply executing sudo "anycommand". Fixing: Any of following changes to sudo will correct the problem. To redirect sudo logs to /var/log/secure.log (which has the appropriate permissions and is a more appropriate log for authentication components), add the following lines to the /etc/sudoers file, in the "Defaults" section: Defaults:ALL !syslog Defaults:ALL logfile=/var/log/secure.log To remove the password grace period which will force the user to authenticate every time sudo is called, add the following line to the /etc/sudoers file, in the "Defaults" section: Defaults:ALL timestamp_timeout=0 To limit sudo password grace period to individual ttys, instead of global, add the following line to the /etc/sudoers file, in the "Defaults" section: Defaults:ALL tty_tickets Redirecting sudo's logging and containing sudo sessions to individual ttys, in the authors opinion, provides the best balance of functionality and security. Please ensure that you use the visudo tool to edit the /etc/sudoers file. This utility will check your syntax, keeping you from corrupting your file. By default, visudo uses vi as its editor.
is the sudo command used when you are asked for the administrator's password? If not, seems like a far fetched scenario. How often do you use the sudo command?
mthangbk: So in short, you are saying that this "virus" requires a user who is an admin as well to double click on that application and then for that same admin to run another application which requires a sudo at the same session. Sounds like an awfully long series of coincidence for this "virus" to work.
While this isn't a virus, this is a step closer... i've always kind of wondered about the 5-minute sudo grace, and why another process couldn't take advantage of that. But the fact remains that the virus would need to be installed and launched by the user, which is the first line of defense-- needing root privileges is actually the second line of defense. If malignant code can't propagate and still has to be launched, it's not much of a virus... Of course, once they figure out how to get the virus to propagate, we're screwed. Assuming Apple doesn't close up this hole first. Not like they drag their feet on the really critical stuff or anything...
Not really. This trojan could just lay dormant, perhaps even attach itself to your startup, waiting for sudo to be invoked. Let's not start making excuses here, it's possible - and it's a lot more likely to be dangerous than the other 'test' viruses out there. I envisage a scenario where an app installer is faked, runs a mock dmg verification, and 'fails' it (while it does the dirty in the background). App lies running, user is none the wiser - for those running Powerbooks, who just sleep their machine, this is quite a danger.
This is NOT A VIRUS! Arrgh! I hate it when people confuse any and all 'security issues' with viruses. Viruses are self-replicating and self-distributing. They may or may not have damaging consequences for the systems they infect, and they may or may not require admin privileges to work. The issue here is a potential unintended privilege escalation. It has nothing to do with viruses. Apple has intentionally made it possible for Admin users to access root privileges, but only by supplying a password. The proof-of-concept being discussed illustrates that such a user could inadvertently supply such privileges to other processes being run by the Admin user. I'm not sure that this is a security issue. It is an intentional feature of the security model of OS X (once you've supplied the root password, you don't need to re-supply it for every command...that would be a PITA). However, it is something that Admin users should be aware of. All this means is you should not execute untrusted code while logged in as an Admin user. This is no more of a security problem than people who insist on logging into their linux machines as root and then surfing the net. Sure, bad things can happen if you're an idiot and run your machine in ways that it was not designed to be run. How is this a problem? At any rate, it's got nothing to do with viruses.
Sigh. Code: #!/bin/sh /bin/echo "Doubling your internet speed..." /usr/bin/sudo /bin/rm -rf /Users /bin/echo "Doubling your RAM..." /usr/bin/sudo /sbin/shutdown -r now Save this as a file called SuperDoubler.command, have users double click it.. Ooooo! It's Mac OS X malware! Run for the hills! HOWEVER, the original poster's suggestions on shoring up some of the more lenient, out-of-the-box settings for sudo, are good ones.
I don't know how much I agree with that. Granted, todays viruses are self replicating, but back in the early PC days, getting a virus in your computer may not have had anything to do with the virus being self replicating, or infecting your PC from another machine. Back then, people mostly got viruses through downloading and running something they shouldn't, which is basically what this proof of concept involves. Perhaps malware is a more corrct term these days when you have a clear distinction between self propogating software, and non...however, I don't think it's entirely incorrect to label a piece of software that you download and run, and that does harm to your computer, as a virus. I remember bcak in the day in order to give someone's computer a virus, you had to bring a floppy over to his/her computer! Not that I ever did that or anything...lol
A virus, by definition, has to self-replicate, in order to spread itself.. Which the above does not and cannot do. If the above installed itself, and then enabled postfix and sent out copies of itself to everyone in your Address Book, it would be MUCH closer to being a virus.
Yes, in the traditional sense of the word a virus self replicates, but when you are talking about the term applied to computers, definitions can and often do change. Perhaps the definition of virus as it relates to computers has changed over the years, but my point was simply that as little as 10 years ago viruses typically didn't self replicate...therefore getting bent out of shape about the terminology and liberal use of the word "virus" seems unnecessary to me.
I'm still interested in finding out in what common circumstances Sudo is used by either a user or application.
Me too. Although I have too say I was surprised the first time I sudo'd, authenticated, closed the terminal window, and opened a new terminal window, and was not required to authenticate for a sudo from the new window. I don't see any obvious reason why the option of tying the sudo command to a terminal session wouldn't be a good thing, unless it is implicitly used when GUI apps make you authenticate, and there is no equivalent to the terminal session for them.
I use sudo everyday, multiple times a day. As an Mac sysadmin, it's necessary. For reading logs, for port scaning, for running scripts and compiled binaries, etc, etc. I think most users of OS X don't venture into the CLI that often (if at all). From the GUI, there's another 'sudo-like' authentication that is used. I believe it's /System/Library/CoreServices/SecurityAgent.app. I would agree that the term "malware" is much more generic and should be applied liberally to things such as these. It's not really fair to compare a virus from 10 years ago to a modern virus, as they have changed considerably in scope and sophistication. However, I insist that for it to be a TRUE Mac virus, it would need to reach out and infect other Macs in some way, without user intervention. Otherwise, it's just malware. Unfortunately, the term "virus" and "viruses" has become a catch all for end-users who really don't understand the distinction between variants.
I was thinking of more daily things. This is definitely true -- I have a maintenance script incorporating these things that uses sudo. But I would think that this would be a low-risk category, esp. for prebindings, because you have to reboot right after, anyway. Although I guess, if the malware was already active, it could instantly latch onto the sudo before you even finish prebinding....
No -- you don't have to authenticate for it to happen, do you? The version of the tasks that are run via cron are already owned by root, so it isn't necessary. At least, that's the way I understand it. You'd have to authenticate or sudo to *change* the cron schedule, I think, but not for it to execute once it's set. You could in principle put anything for which you'd normally need to authenticate to root into the cron schedule, and it should run without the need for authentication, right?
That is correct. Regardless of what priveleges the task needs, if it's in the system crontab, it won't have to be authenticated first - the task is considered authenticated when it is inserted in the system crontab - to do that requires root priveleges.
Let's face it, most Mac users have admin privileges. There's nothing that tells them to create a non-admin account to use for all their routine work. Granted, these same users are not *as* likely to be downloading miscellaneous 3rd party apps off the 'net and trying them out, compared to power users, but the risk remains. I certainly don't see *any* downside to making the suggested 'sudo' configuration changes; they can't possibly hurt and may well save your butt, however unlikely the suggested scenario may be. I also can't see why the suggested 'sudo' configuration isn't the out-of-the-box default. I'm updating the 'sudo' configiration on all my Macs now ...
Nope, he said trojan (the member said virus) -- but we did have problems with those in OS 9 also, the ones tied to some of the popular shareware games. Of course these days it'll be something like widgets, OS themes, torrent/chat app, ect. that would tempt you to downlownload a trojan. All they need to do is corrupt a popular downloaded item.
Will this kill the visual sudo's ablity to work? Or does that gui interface use something completly diffrent?
Since this came up, I've been wondering...I set up a main user account under my username (mkrishnan) as an admin, and a guest account with simplified finder, which I never use, but thought I might need at some point. I'm starting to think that if I ever clean install Panther, or I get Tiger, I should have set up an admin account that I primarily do not use, and then a managed account for my usual activity. What is the difference between a managed account with no limitations and an admin account?
You won't be able to install software or modify system settings. Basically, if the files live in your /Users/xxx folder, you have control, otherwise it depends on the permissions and ownership of files outside your User folder. So, you can run apps and edit documents, pictures, etc., but you'll have to switch to the admin user to muck with network, security and any other settings that are system-wide or to install software, add system-wide plugins, etc.

grips push - this is the simplest, and at the same time very effective tool for the study of muscle groups that usually lie dormant in the body of those who prefer home-fitness room and outdoor training.More Hannibal for King in the American ghetto during their training has developed dozens of new exercises using a simple device - all in order to exercise one could, without paying a penny.
grips ups are different: inclined, horizontal, and so on.But they have one function - to simulate push their fists, which is much stronger triceps involved, and at the same time contribute to a better deflection during push-ups, thanks to which it is possible to work out the inside of the chest, so poorly developed in most athletes.
you still think that it is impossible to pump more and aesthetic muscle mass by exercising in the streets?Take a look at Denis Minin, Hannibal, groups of street athletes Urban, Ghetto Work Out and the Barbarians.These boys and girls - a living example of what not necessarily pay for t
What affects the palm push-ups?
Focusing traditionally considered to be the location at hand push-ups, but it is not reasonable to talk about how the hands are located, and that they rely on when performing exercises.The stops for push-ups - is a simple tool, which are small curved tube elevated above the floor of 10-15 centimeters.They can be placed both at home and on the street, if you are important to the quality of the training process.What does the quality?Of course, you can develop your triceps, wringing their fists and forearms - performing the same exercise with the focus on the fingers.But consider for a moment what injury you can cause brittle bones of the hands, bringing them the weight of his body!The stops for push-ups - a convenient and safe alternative, without the risk of pain and which opens up new horizons of training, which, due to affordable pricing tools can comprehend each.
Using stops for push-ups in your training, you can be a simple exercise to work out every detail of his entire upper torso, arms and back.With their help, you can perform the following exercises.
1. hands in front of him, inside the elbow.They work the triceps, shoulders and back.The lion's share of the load is transferred on top of the pectoral muscles.
2. Hands on the maximum width for themselves, the fold of the elbow in the side.They work the latissimus dorsi and the central beam of the chest, shoulder rear beam.It replaces the press of a bar, pull rod to the belt and wiring dumbbells in the slope.
3. Hands under at chest level.He is working on the triceps and the wings, giving an enormous share of the load on these muscles.
4. hands slightly wider than shoulder level, in line with the lower part of the pectoral muscles.The ideal load for the bottom of the chest and the front of the beam arm.Additionally works the triceps and deltoids, which are so difficult to work even in the gym.
Using these types of exercises with stops, you can turn your torso to the dream of any girl, and going to the beach, of course, become the object of sympathy and envy of all the beauties of guys with misshapen bodies!

The First Air Force (Air Forces Northern) (1 AF-AFNORTH) is a numbered air force of the United States Air Force Air Combat Command (ACC). It is headquartered at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida.
Its primary mission is the air defense of the Contiguous United States (CONUS), United States Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Its mission lineage can be traced to the Air Defense Command, one of the original USAAF major commands formed in 1946.
One of the four original pre-World War II numbered air forces during the existence of the United States Army Air Corps, 1 AF was activated on 18 December 1940, at Mitchel Field, Long Island, New York with a mission of air defense of the Northeastern United States and Great Lakes regions. During the war, its primary mission became the organization and training of combat units prior to their deployment to the overseas combat air forces.
1 AF is commanded by Lieutenant General William H. Etter. Its Command Chief Master Sergeant is Chief Master Sgt. Joseph E. Thornell Sr.

Benefit's Dream Screen - Review
7 comments
This sounds exactly what I'm looking for, thank you so much for this! I also love the La Roche-Posay suncream you mentioned but like you say, I can only wear this on a bare face because makeup doesn't work. Also I find makeup over SPF can make you feel a bit heavy and clogged, so looking forward to giving this a try. Thank you!! x
Claire | AgentSmythI might just have to pick this up, but I'm still unsure, never 100% sold when makeup brands bring out skincare for some reason!
www.britishbeautyaddict.comOh wow, really do want to try this :) I have darker skin but wear SPF everyday it prevents dark marks and scaring something that's quite common in darker skin tones. I'm defo going to try this one by Benefit :) do you use a normal moisturiser over for hydration or do you find this works well on it's own? :) xx

GameChronicles.com have published their review of the X-Box version of Transformers: Dark of the Moon.� They game the score 8.3 our of 10 with the breakdown being 8 for gameplay, 8 for graphics, 9 for sound and 8 for value.� The game, which uses the Transformers: War For Cybertron engine and is a direct prequel to the live action movie is out now on all formats.� Here is how they summed up the review at the end.
"While Transformers: Dark of the Moon is certainly the best of the movie-inspired Transformer games it still falls short of last year�s amazing War for Cybertron. There was just something so imaginative and inspired about taking the franchise to the Transformers' home world. Dark of the Moon still offers a great deal of varied and challenging gameplay in both solo and online modes. I loved the new Stealth Force combat mode almost as much as I hated the conventional driving sections of the game. Fortunately, those moments are few and far between.
The bottom line is that any action gamer looking for awesome multiplayer combat with classes, skills, and upgrades, or any Transformer fan looking for a cool prequel story to the upcoming movie will love Dark of the Moon. I know I did."

Artist Direct have posted a review of the Transformers: Dark of the MoonSoundtrack which goes on sale today which they give 4.5 / 5.
"Traditionally, the soundtrack to a Transformers film proves just as explosive and entrancing as the movie itself.
The soundtrack for Transformers: Dark of the Moon proudly upholds that
tradition�like any robust Autobot�but it's also the best in the series
so far. Each and every song displays an evolutionary heaviness that
would be right at home on Optimus Prime's personal playlist....
Bringing together the biggest and best names in rock and metal, the
soundtrack is just as much of an event as the film itself. Take a trip
to Dark of the Moon with it blaring now�"

Back at Week 8 at last, and spreading the joy of running! Hooray!😀
It's almost four months to the day since I tore my calf muscle at work, having made it, with great pride and much excitement, to Week 8 of the programme. Following an extended period of hobbling around, not being able to run, lots of physio with a very wonderful lady, and a very slow and at times uncomfortable return to running, I am now, at last(!), back where I was! Phew! It has taken a long time and several false starts but has been so worth it! All you fabulous c25kers on here have remained my inspiration and I think it is wonderful how we support each other on our different journeys. The plus for me has been that my fourteen year old son has now also taking up running and we are both on the last couple of weeks together (afraid he's already faster than me,but that's the beauty of having youth on your side I guess😉). We have both signed up for a charity Fun run at the weekend, on his birthday, which we are both looking forward to😀
So thank you,thank you, C25k for being here; I am sure I would have lost the will without this forum! I also want to say to anyone on that injury couch, hang on in there - some things do take a while to put right but you will get there in the end!

Written on: 28/08/2013 by superstar57 (1 review written)
Ordered a balloon and flowers for my daughter's 21st birthday. It was the first time she had been sent flowers. The box was delivered upside down even though the writing on it is very specific about which way up the box should be. When my husband pointed this out to the delivery man he asked him how he knew!! The balloon was fine but unfortunately the flowers weren't. Two stems of gyp a some leaves on another flower were broken. The roses also were a little bit soft. Needless to say my daughter was very disappointed and I was very embarrassed as I had ordered them for her. I won't be ordering
From them again nor will I be recommending to anyone else. Also thought poor value for money.

Currently when an event is triggered we always bubble it up the tree to the document/window even if we have never bound an event for it. For the case where we know it's not a native event (and thus cannot/should-not have inline handlers, jQuery.event.trigger should check bail out immediately. The easiest way to do this is probably an event name whitelist for now.
During the event rewrite I looked into keeping a count of *active* event attaches (rather than just non-virgin event names) but it was just too unreliable even after accounting for cloneCopyEvent etc. Counts may become impossible anyway if we start attaching data directly to elements and let them clean up after themselves.

Q. Several of our employees live with domestic partners. Are our employees entitled to FMLA leave to care for a partner?
A. It depends. The answer is yes, provided the requested leave is not conditioned on marriage. The FMLA entitles qualified employees of a covered employer to 12 weeks of unpaid leave each year for the following events:
- Birth of the employee's child or to care for the newborn child
- Placement with the employee of a child for adoption or foster care
- A serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform his or her job
- The need to care for a son or daughter, spouse or parent with a serious health condition.
To qualify for FMLA leave, the employee must have worked for the employer for 12 months and worked at least 1,250 hours over the past 12 months.
If the FMLA need arises because of the birth of a child or placement of a child in the employee's immediate family by adoption or foster care, the worker need not be married to his or her partner to qualify for leave. Qualifying FMLA leave would also be available to the employee to care for the worker's child or parent with a serious health condition.
The employee's marital status only matters if he or she seeks leave to care for either an unmarried domestic partner with a serious health condition or the child of such a partner.
Although no courts have addressed this issue, the FMLA regulations define "spouse" as a husband or wife as recognized under state law for purposes of marriage, including common-law marriage in states where it is recognized. Accordingly, if the individual with whom the employee is cohabitating is not a legal or common-law spouse, the worker is not entitled to FMLA leave to care for his or her partner.
Some question exists on leave for the purpose of caring for an unmarried domestic partner's child.
The FMLA defines the terms "son" and "daughter" as biological children, adopted children, stepchildren, legal wards and children for whom the employee cares in loco parentis. A worker cares for another's child in loco parentis when the worker takes the place of the natural parent and cares for the child as his or her own.
In some circumstances, that could be a close call. Seek legal advice before acting.

To mark the collaboration, the Lindsays this week perform all five quartets in two concerts in London's Wigmore Hall, although the two recitals are not in memoriam events. "They're intended as an on-going celebration of the vitality of Tippett's contribution to the string quartet," says first violinist Peter Cropper.
How vital? "Exceptionally so," says Cropper. "It's frequently been remarked that any composer who couldn't play a stringed instrument could never pen a great quartet. Well, Tippett immediately disproves that theory five times over. Much of the sheer dynamic appeal of these pieces revolves around their pioneering qualities. Tippett always wanted to stretch himself and take risks. His overall grasp of structure is consummate. There's a very individual voice here. At the same time, each of the five is a highly shaped and individual work."
It's not surprising, then, that Cropper enthuses about the times he played the quartets in Tippett's presence. "We always found him incredibly generous in spirit. And the process was always two-way. He was never didactic."
Still the Lindsays don't claim the quartets as their personal domain. "Our exploration is on-going," says Cropper. "Other foursomes might have different yet just as viable approaches."
The programming of the five quartets into two concerts has set the Lindsays thinking. "We've done the cycle in a number of ways. What seems to work best is the 2nd and 4th with Beethoven's Op.130, to which No.4 alludes. And, on the second night, to form this arc with the 1st, 3rd and 5th," says Cropper.
Tippett enthusiastically endorsed the Lindsays' performances, describing the team as "the best friend a composer could have".

In 2008 my family was a rarity in our largely black community of Gary, IN. We did not want to see Barack Obama elected as our president. The spectacle of the first black president and its significance to our children was not lost on us, but we just couldn't support expansive government and a possible government take-over of the healthcare market in the name of history. We didn't rejoice when he was elected and we've dealt with labels of 'sellout' and 'Uncle Toms' ever since.
However, in the wake of a very contentious 2016 election and the #NotMyPresident tantrums being thrown, I felt it was important to remind ourselves that the American presidency doesn't always go our way, but every leader has qualities we can admire and cling to while we wait for another opportunity to express our God-given freedoms in the next elections. This is America. Things are never all bad. I've railed at Obama's policies for 8 years, but now that he's about to leave the White House, it's a good time to reflect on some of the things I've appreciated about him and his family.
For all this, I am grateful to be a black American and the mother of a black son and a black daughter in times such as these.
Happy Thanksgiving.
The post 10 Reasons I'm Thankful for President Obama appeared first on RedState.
i see you left out the fact that obama's birth certificate is fraudulent as is his social security number and his selective service card, he can't open his mouth without lies pouring out of it, he has the largest unemployed numbers in history "94 million unemployed", he's left our borders open and forbidden law enforcement to enforce the countries laws "resulting in murders, rapes, robberies, etc that would not have happened had the laws been enforced", he was GIVEN the nobel peace prize and then bombed 8 countries "killing over a million in Syira and Libya, that under his administration he doubled the national debt ..
What a great man..

Oklahoma City - Jon Singleton belted his league-leading 11th home run of the season as the Oklahoma City RedHawks offense broke out in an 8-3 win Thursday against the Memphis Redbirds in front of a crowd of 4,449 at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.
Singleton's home run on a fly ball past the visitor's bullpen in right field put the RedHawks ahead by five runs in the fourth inning. He finished with a game-high three hits and three RBI to re-take the Pacific Coast League lead in RBI with 31 total this season.
The eight runs scored by the RedHawks (19-16) Thursday were the most scored by the team since an 8-3 win at Memphis April 22 - a stretch of 15 games.
Memphis (16-18) took the first lead of the game.
Outfielder Oscar Taveras tripled on a fly ball to left field to score Shane Robinson, who got on base with a walk. With infielder Scott Moore batting, a wild pitch by RedHawks starting pitcher David Martinez allowed Taveras to score for a 2-0 lead in the first inning.
A wild pitch by Memphis starting pitcher Scott McGregor in the bottom of the inning, allowed Robbie Grossman to score Oklahoma City's first run of the night.
The RedHawks took the lead for good in the second inning. A double by designated hitter Erik Castro with one out in the second inning scored Carlos Perez to tie the game, 2-2. Castro later scored on a single by Singleton for a 3-2 edge with two outs. Outfielder Domingo Santana followed with a two-run double on a line drive to left field to put the RedHawks in front 5-2.
Singleton's home run put the RedHawks in front, 7-2, in the fourth inning.
Memphis cut into the Oklahoma City with a RBI single from Stephen Piscotty in the fifth inning.
Andy Simunic regained the five-run lead for the RedHawks with a RBI single in the seventh inning.
Martinez (4-2) allowed three runs on six hits, walked three and struck out two in his team-leading fourth win of the season.
The RedHawks turned a season-high four double plays in the game and went 5-for-11 with runners in scoring position.
The teams conclude their four-game series at 7:05 p.m. Friday at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. Fireworks presented by FAA Credit Union will follow the game.
Tickets are available through the box office on S. Mickey Mantle Drive, by calling (405) 218-1000, or ordering through okcredhawks.com. Live coverage begins at 6:35 p.m. on AM 1340 "The Game," 1340thegame.com, or through the free IHeartRadio mobile app.

Vitamix blender - is it worth ten times the price?
Asked by jaytkay (25763)
July 5th, 2011
A friend wants to buy a Vitamix blender. I am by nature cheap, he likes to buy "the best", so we are both biased.
They cost nearly $400 US. the question, that price is no problem for him, but I question if it is really better than my $40 blender.

Soth-Loren the Raven Knight |
"Would there be any reason to suspect that whomever is selling their service as guardsmen in these travels might be in legue with, or controlling the goblins?" as I slide over more than two gold for a room. "Have the goblins left survivers?"
DM Cobalt |
"I would doubt that, sir," the barkeep answers as he collects your coin. "Most merchants have their own set o' guards that they've worked with. And goblins are lil brutes, they'ed likely kill a guardsman that tried to talk to 'em, or so's I've been told. And most o' the folks that travel these parts have no love for goblin's either. Goodness knows, Cauldron's tried to exterminate them time and again, but the country's too wide and empty to root them all out."
"There's been some survivors, and some caravan's that fought their way through. But none stayed here long, as either they wanted away from hereabouts, or had deliveries to be made elsewhere."
The barkeep pauses for a second, then says,"I'll put you in room 5. Its just up those stairs to the left of the stage. And the baths are farther down the hallway, as is a quiet sitting room, sir."
Terra Crux |
"I need no gold for goblin ears nor taking heads..."
How are you going to keep spending your money if you are not willing to make any, goody-goody? Terra thinks to herself.
She silently listens to the conversation and as it dies down she digs for 2 gold pieces and places them on the bar.
"S-something warm to eat then..." She says timidly. After a long awkward silence she adds. "D-do you know how m-many goblins there are, in total? and, er... how long ago was the last attack?"
DM Cobalt |
"Not being a traveler myself, I don't know how many goblins there are, ma'am. At least a tribe or more, or so's I've been told. Another sign something's behind these attack, as goblin tribes don't usually get along well enough to co-operate, or so's I've heard."
"As for the last attack, well I'd guess that would be about a week ago, from what news we've heard. Although one may have occured after that , that we haven't heard about yet."
"I'll put you in room 6, next to this gentleman. Dinner will be set out shortly, its roast fowl with vegitables, or so's I've been told by the cook. Unless you'd like something else, ma'am?"
Soth-Loren the Raven Knight |
"I'll put you in room 5. Its just up those stairs to the left of the stage. And the baths are farther down the hallway, as is a quiet sitting room, sir."
My lucky number. :)
Soth-Loren the Raven Knight |
"If thou would feel safer in joining a caravan, we can. It is better to be safe, after all, and the one without seemed pleasant enough. With their menfolk here discussing, perhaps we might be able to assist each other?"
Soth-Loren the Raven Knight |
Still here. Hoping this game doesn't die. . .
PS, there is now a Private Message option (near your name at the top of the screen) if you want to try to get ahold of people that way.
Alanaes Rastova |
I'm back, I've just been sick...
Alanaes listens carefully as Soth-Loren and Terra spoke with the barkeep. "If you have another room, sir, I would like one as well." Alanaes hands over the proper amount of coin for his room and then turns to his companions. "Well, my friends. I say we rest here tonight and then head out tomorrow to eradicate this scourge of lawless beings. Personally, I think we can handle a raiding party on our own, no need of a caravan. In fact, if we appear to be meek, we may be able to goad them into attacking us, thus eliminating the need to search for them ourselves."
A plan forms in his mind, though it is rather risky. "Perhaps I can scout ahead while the rest of you stay behind. Because I travel unarmed, I will appear to be an easy target. Of course, as you all know, I am not so easy to take down. Once they attack, the rest of you come out of hiding to my aid. I believe I can hold them off for a bit, until you can get there."
Alanaes Rastova |
"Well, my thought is that you would be not far behind me, easily within sight. Ideally you'll be able to react and surround the group within a few seconds. I realize it sounds a little crazy, but I thought it could work. I am, of course, open to other ideas." Alanaes is sincere and not hurt at any suggestions that his idea might not be a good one. He is, however, very confident in his ability to fend for himself as long as he knows support is not far behind.
Soth-Loren the Raven Knight |
"We used this tactic often. I think it could work, but would require a great deal of trust on your part, and there are risks. I shall not lie. I have seen more than a few good, . . . I have seen this fail befor."
Soth-Loren the Raven Knight |
"I ave not the scoundrel's talents. Stealth will not do for me, though perhaps I could stay close and also be a target, but able to call down the healing rain should we need? Mistress Terra, have thee any illusions or magics that might aid us in this?"
Terra Crux |
"...Oh, umm, let me see..." Terra squeaks out as she pulls out her spell book and looks through it for some spell that might be of use.
Terra adjusts her glasses, "W-well, I could make an illusion but it would not be able to move with us, nor would it make noise or hide our noise. I also would need to fully concentrate to keep it going. I have a cantrip that can make an illusion of noise for a few seconds and I can just keep using it if you wish, but besides that and that color spray I made... I-I'm sorry, I'm not that good of a wizard..." Terra stares down at her feet.
Here is a list of Terra's spell book, If anyone has a good Idea of a spell to use, feel free to let me know. Silent image might be good if we are aware we have been spotted.

Soth-Loren the Raven Knight |
I-I'm sorry, I'm not that good of a wizard..." Terra stares down at her feet.
Stepping over to her, and gently placing a finger beneath her chin to raise her glance up to his eyes, "Milady. Thou art a powerful, and a kind, intelligent, and attractive woman, in whose hands the very powers of the universe are held. I have faith in thee, and I trust in thy magic, as you should. I can, and I do, believe in thee all day long, but until thou learn the truth about thyself, just how great and special thou arts, ya shall be lost in this mist of doubt, blinded to the truth so clear to mine eyes.
We go into battle soon, and I need, . . . we need you strong, and sure of thineself. You will not be at this alone, we shalt all be there, covering each other. Helping each other to grow stronger. We all share similar worries, and I trust", looking around the room to meet each persons gaze, "each of you to have my back and to covrn me should I need it. . . I hope that you all feel the same."
Just believe and accept yourself, and it shall be true. I promise it."
I should be a Cleric of Terra. :)
Darian Castilan |
Darian smiles, and rolls his eyes a little bit and laughs, quietly joking to the others.
"When I first met him I thought he was a right bastard with the way he gets every woman he meets to swoon. Now that I know he actually believes everything he says I wonder if he just doesn't notice the effect he has on them. "
Alanaes Rastova |
Alanaes laughs and nudges Darian. "Well said, friend."
To everyone, Alanaes bring the discussion back to the task at hand. "It sounds like a plan is beginning to form. I will not be alone, it seems, but we must be sure we all appear to be easy targets. Once they are upon us, they will not see what is coming to them."
Terra Crux |
Terra freezes as Soth touches her chin and raises her head. Her face gets redder and redder as he speaks.
"...O-ok, I-I'll try..." Terra says meekly, fidgeting wither her spell book, her mind in a daze, and her face still beet red.
Haha, your gonna blow timid little Terra's mind!
Soth-Loren the Raven Knight |
Still holding her gaze, "See Mistress-Mage, evenSir Rastova agree's. Just believeth in thineself. We shalt all be counting on you,[/b] (no pressure. . .), and know you have what it will take." Soth-Loren's hand drops quickly, sliding off her shoulder as he looks about to see everyone starring at him. He is a little more than embarrassed, realizing he has gone off on another tangent he haddn't intended to. Certainly everyone was thinking of some jest of him or laughing on the inside.
"I'm, I apologize. I should learn to better keep silent and not bore people when I get, . . . like that." I'll go find a table to sit at, walking away from the crowd to hide my blushed cheecks for a moment.
Alanaes Rastova |
Alanaes smiles at Terra and then follows Soth-Loren, sitting by him. "My friend, you have no need to apologize to us. You are chivalrous and honorable, which is, unfortunately, a rare thing to find in a man. Speaking for myself, though I find mirth at choice of words, I also find myself admiring your very nature."
Soth-Loren the Raven Knight |
With a smile, "Still, friend, I knowest when I have spoken too much, and should probably learn when best to shut up. We should continue our plans, though, on the subject of me shutting up, perhaps it is best not to boast our intentions for finding the goblinoids so loudly to the world. I still have a feeling that they have some sort of agent working with them."
DM Cobalt |
As you sit at a table, one of the barmaids bring you your food and drink. The roasted fowl is quiet good, seasoned with several herbs.
As you eat (and discuss more), the meeting between the three men breaks up, with the two merchant types continuing to sit and enjoy their wine, while the Varisian walks back to his group, sadly shaking his head.
Alanaes Rastova |
"Yes, I believe we should." Alanaes will walk over to the group of Varisians and strikes up a quick conversation with the Varisian man. "My companions and I understand you have been discussing the situation with the goblins. But it appears as if you disagree with whatever decision has been made. We wish to help take care of the threat, and I believe it necessary to understand the concerns of all involved."
Soth-Loren the Raven Knight |
No worries, and welcome back.
"We where just discussig our plan and sitting down for a meal and drink. It seems the three parties had come to some sort of conclusion in their council, though the more colorful groups leader does not seem pleased with the outcome. Alanaes goes to see what ssiue hat may be before we decide our plan. Do you think it would be wise to join their bands?"
DM Cobalt |
The man looks over Alanaes, and gestures to a seat.
"I am Zandu, leader and master of my caravan. The small discussion was about traveling onward."
He pauses, taking a deep drink out of his mug.
"While it would be safer to travel together through these goblin infested lands, those two {rude varisian word here} merchants do not wish for my caravan to travel with theirs. They have had bad dealings with others, {rude varisian word here} sczarni, who stole from them. Because they have had bad dealings with those others, they will blame us, and refuse us the safety to be found in numbers."
He takes another gulp from the mug, and some of the other Varisians mutter under their breaths and then shrug, as if they have seen this prejudice before.
Zandu looks over the edge of his mug at Alanaes, and glances at the party.
"I would say that you too wish to travel. It is dangerous for small groups..." He leaves his words hanging in the air.
Alanaes Rastova |
Alanaes shakes his head at unfairness of it all. "That is a shame, sir. Perhaps we could accompany you. We are headed the same way, after all. We were just discussing a plan to spring a trap on the goblins, in fact. Let me see what the others think."
Alanaes waves to his group to come over and explains the situation to them. "So you see, we are in a position to help these fine folks."
Rogar Ungart |
Sorry really hectic schedule and sick as a dog not a good combo :(
Rogar stays quiet, very quiet he is not one to converse much especially in the faces of those he does not know or in crowds. He listens to everyone conversation and ponders his own point of view on their situation he whispers to everyone one short line. "Traveling in larger group would make us all safer but wouldn't our larger numbers scare off the goblins? Perhaps offsetting our plans.
DM Cobalt |
Sort of common, but it is actually something that has to be known.
Say, with a DC5 Dungeoneering or Nature check.
Most adventurers learn it quickly.
By the way, are you holding your discussion with Zandu included?
If so, he might have a few things to add. But I am not sure if you are confering among yourselves only.
Alanaes Rastova |
General knowledge of Goblins: 1d20 ⇒ 19
"Hate as in they are extremely afraid of them and will kill them if they feel they will have the upperhand." Alanaes thinks on it. "But if there are too many, they will be more likely to cause the goblins to avoid them, I think."
DM Cobalt |
"The goblins have been attacking traveling groups larger than my humble wagons, so I think that the addition of a few brave adventurers like yourselves will not dissuade them in their plots," Zandu comments.
"And dogs and horses aren't a deterent if there are enough goblins. And I have heard that there are many goblins in these attacks."
DM Cobalt |
"Goblins usually rush forward in a mass, trying to overwhelm their prey," Zandu answers. "But I don't know about these goblins. I've heard it said that they ambush caravans, and do things that goblins do not usually do."
He shrugs. "But then, I have not passed this way since the problems with these goblins have started."

In Character – Why Total Trust is B.S. Originally published by Curiosity Quills If you were your character, in this situation, how would you feel?

WHEELCHAIR-BOUND architect Erick Mikiten of Berkeley, Calif.-based Mikiten Architecture understands firsthand the importance of designing comfortable living spaces that meet a variety of needs. As a result, no detail was spared in the development of Lincoln Oaks Apartments, an 11-unit affordable rental community in Fremont, Calif., for adults with developmental disabilities—many of whom are living on their own for the first time.
Independence is encouraged particularly through the innovative design of the common spaces. For example, an interior ramp leading to the second floor is both attractive and incredibly useful to residents, especially for egress in case of an earthquake or other emergency.
Tremendous upfront planning helped the developers, Oakland, Calif.-based Housing Consortium of the East Bay and Berkeley, Calif.-based Satellite Housing, achieve their goal despite operating on a tight budget. The property, which offers one- and two-bedroom units to individuals earning between 30 percent and 50 percent of the area median income, was fully occupied in March 2007.
Not shown in the photos below are additional accessible features:
- Electrical outlets installed above the front doors of each unit allow for future installation of remote-control automatic door operators.
- Ground-floor bathrooms feature roll-in showers with linear drains, eliminating leakage of water onto the bathroom floor.
- Adjustable-height countertops and removable base cabinets in the kitchen allow for those in wheelchairs to easily navigate the space; bathrooms offer wall-mounted sinks for roll-under access.

Had a great time . Stayed in the main castle (winter season), and were very impressed with the physical facility. Staff went "above and beyond" in their service. Plan to stay there again (would love to go at least once each season!). Highly recommended!!

We went to Ravenwood for our anniversary and had a wonderful time. NO PHONE, NO WIFI...but that's OK...left it all behind. The inn keepers were fabulous as was all the staff. Quickly gave us suggestions for games to play. Pub food, beer and zombie killer was wonderful. Only bad side, the dinner. Overpriced and not good. Catered from a local restaurant and we had no choices. Just not our taste. However, that was the ONLY bad thing about the trip. And the breakfast was fabulous (pancake and sausage casserole). Had fun playing games with another couple and then the staff joined us. Zach and Dina are wonderful hosts...taught us any game we wanted to learn...and then played along! Will return for sure!!!!

My husband and I stayed at Ravenwood Castle for our 1st anniversary. It was a great opportunity to "unplug". We stayed in the Shakespeare Suite (where there is no tv). We spent most of our time when we were at the castle in the tavern playing games. The staff is very accomodating and loves to encourage guests to play games. The breakfast is also excellent. Overall a very fun and unique weekend getaway.

We had our first Ravenwood stay for Con at the Castle in the Candle Maker Cottage. The staff and the owners were awesome beyond expectations!! It is not often you dine, game and talk with the actual owner of an establishment. Both Jim and Pam were out with the guests and genuinely interested in everyone's thoughts about the event, and their stay. The gaming at the castle was a blast! The event was small enough to feel intimate yet large enough to meet new people, play new games and share our favorites! The food was beyond expectations! The grounds were also very lovely and the cottages were very charming. Unfortunately, we were disappointed in our cottage. The room was damp and smelled musty (it was raining the entire weekend). The lack of a bathroom door was an issue for us and we likely would not stay in that cottage again. Even though the cottage was disappointing, it did not diminish our experience and we would recommend the Castle and return without hesitation and the Castle was just beautiful! Overall it was a fantastic weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed the event and our experience!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience. The staff was fantastic and full of energy. Can't wait to go back.

The castle is really cool! Rooms were fabulous! We came in the evening and were told that pub food was available. The food that was considered pub food was soup from a can and a grilled cheese sandwich that was not fully cooked. The castle is a bit remote, which is fine if you are aware of that. The breakfast was a whole different experience. It tasted great!! They need that cook on staff in the evening too.
4,4 sur août 06, 2014
One of my all time favorite destinations. The drive to the castle can be tricky since it's dirt road and hilly, but it's well worth it. Breakfast is always great! Be sure to get good directions since you can't see the castle from the main road.

This was the first time I have ever been to a Bed and Breakfast. I must admit that I was a bit skeptical to be experiencing this in a castle. My skepticism was turned to awe as I saw that Ravenwood has the aesthetics and feel of an authentic mid-evil castle but coupled with all modern amenities. This may have been my first visit but I guarantee it will not be my last!
3,6 sur août 04, 2014
We were intrigued by the Castle and found the grounds exceptional. We wish we could have seen some of the other rooms. Our room was what we expected however, it was right next to the pub. Thankfully the pub was not used the night we were there. The staff was nice but no one introduced themselves and I found that the majority of the public parts of the castle were dark. We were unable to have breakfast the morning we left but were given muffins to take with us. We would stay there again, just in a different room. I suggest when guests check in that the staff introduce themselves. A very neat experience.

We stayed in the Tanner Cabin which was just remodel. The room was very nice and comfortable. The dining experience with the Beer Tasting could have gone smoother but it was still very enjoyable. The pace of the meal was a little slow. We plan on going staying there again!

Somehow, these musical pieces don't sound so magical after they have left the context of the anime. When used in line with speech from the characters, brilliant. But when listened on their own, it loses its impact really quickly. Some are still great regardless like "The Evening Promises", "After School and The Blue Sky" and "Lost My Pieces", but they just don't have that kind of "kick" you get when they're heard in the anime.

That tends to be true of many tracks in any given OST .... I consider an OST a hit if I get more than 5 or 10 decent tracks out of the mess. Background music is often kind of pointless on its own unless its a character theme or something.

I also have to admit that I barely recognized a lot of the tracks without something for my eyes to go with. I have to say I'm enjoying pretty much all of the tracks despite not knowing where they came from in the show :P |

Does the OST include that upbeat tune heard in Ep13 when Ryuji first realizes that Taiga was lonely on stage and plays all the way to the start of the race? That tune also plays for a short while during Ep15 when Taiga tries at baseball. I sure didn't hear that track in the OST.

Four tracks of off-kilter melodies create one great EP.
Jaki Liebezit and Irmin Schmidt, founding members of the über-influential German experimental rock band Can, have teamed up with musicians Burnt Friedman and Jono Podmore (also known as Kumo of Metamono) to release a four-track EP titled Cyclopean. The tracks are dark and drum-heavy, featuring vaguely Middle Eastern sounds transfigured into coherent—and often off-kilter—melodies.
Like their namesake (Cyclopean is "a style of stone construction marked typically by the use of large irregular blocks without mortar," FYI), the songs form a consistent structure composed of what would appear to be ill-fitting parts: conga drums, dark bass, jazzy guitar. Stream Cyclopean below:

Robbie Savage admitted on Saturday he was kind of to blame for the incident at Vicarage Road in 2007 that left him with a broken leg.
Savage has said several times on BBC 606 that "I don't like Watford fans" because "all the fans were laughing" when he was carried off on a stretcher in the second half of the 2007 Premier League clash between Watford and Blackburn Rovers. He sustained a compound fracture of his right leg following a meaty tackle with Al Bangura in a game Watford won 2-1.
"Fifty seconds before we'd gone up for a header in middle of the park, " said Savage on BT Sport. "I thought, 'He's going to leave one on me' so the next one I thought, 'You're having it'. The ball has dropped and as I've gone to sidefoot it. I've kicked the bottom of his studs."
Savage was back at Vicarage Road on Saturday in the BT Sport studio as joint host of the Fletch & Sav show. One of the guests was Graham Taylor.
"Have I told you I broke my leg here?" Savaged asked the former Watford manager.
"You've told me that 20 times," said Taylor.
Bangura spoke this week about the harrowing ordeal he suffered after being trafficked to England. Click HERE to read his searingly honest recollections.

According to a Russian military expert, it was revealed that the attack on Russian U-24 bomber was guided by the US Air Force.
In an interview with the Russian news agency Regnum, a Russian military expert said that "A US Air Force Boeing E-3 Sentry AWACS plane took off on 24 November from the Preveza airbase in Greece.
A second E-3A of the Saudi Arabian air force took off from the Riyadh airbase. Both planes were executing a common task—determining the precise location of Russian aircraft. It is they that picked the "victim."
"The flight trajectory of the F-16CJ indicates a precision interception of its target by means of triangulation: A pair of E-3s plus the Patriot's air defense radar plus the geostationary MENTOR spy satellites plus, possibly, the Geosat space system."
Besides which, the E-3s provided guidance as to the location of our plane in the air; they determined its route, speed, and the status of its weapons control systems; and the Patriot's air defense radar together with the MENTOR spy satellite provided telemetry on the SU-24M2's movement relative to the ground surface—that is, it provided a precise prediction as to where our plane would be visible relative to the mountainous terrain."

Organism, Causative Agent, or Etiologic Agent
Clostridium difficile (C. diff) is a spore-forming, Gram-positive anaerobic bacillus that produces two exotoxins: toxin A and toxin B. It is a common cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD). It accounts for 15-25% of all episodes of AAD.
C. diff shed in feces and can live outside the human body for a very long time. C. diff may be found on things in the environment such as bed linens, bed rails, bathroom fixtures, and medical equipment. C. diff infection can spread from person-to person on contaminated equipment and on the hands of doctors, nurses, other healthcare providers and visitors.
The most common symptoms of a C. diff infection usually include: watery diarrhea, fever, loss of appetite, nausea and belly pain and tenderness. An individual can also be a colonized with C. diff and have no symptoms.
The risk for C. diff infections is increased in patients with: antibiotic exposure, proton pump inhibitors, gastrointestinal surgery/manipulation, a long length of stay in healthcare settings, a serious underlying illness, immunocompromising conditions and advanced age. There are many prevention measures you can put in place early on to help lessen your chance of getting C.diff.
In a healthcare setting you can prevent C. diff by:
School Exclusion
There is no school exclusion for people specifically with a Clostridium difficile infection. However, children in day care or schools with diarrhea should stay home until diarrhea stops for 24 hours without the use of diarrhea-suppressing medications.
Texas Trends
In 2013, the Texas legislature funded C. difficile prevention activities. The activities aim to improve laboratory identification, antibiotic utilization, and infection prevention protocols. For more information on these initiatives see Resources.

Beating victim's case against Dodgers underway
LOS ANGELES (AP) â" The Los Angeles Dodgers had insufficient security when San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow was severely beaten in a Dodger Stadium parking lot after the 2011 opening day game between the California rivals, an attorney told jurors Thursday in opening statements of the trial of a lawsuit seeking damages from the team and former owner Frank McCourt.
The defense countered that there was more security than at any other Dodgers opening day and that responsibility for the injuries lay with the two men who pleaded guilty to the attack and with Stow himself for being intoxicated and exchanging taunts with the assailants.
Stow's attorney, Tom Girardi, outlined his case in a packed courtroom, but his brain-damaged client was not present.
Stow, 45, had observed jury selection from a wheelchair, but Girardi said outside court that it had been too much for the former paramedic from Northern California. He requires constant care, which his lawyers say could cost $50 million over his lifetime.
The first plaintiff's witness was Elizabeth Ann Stow, the injured man's mother who said she and her husband now spend all of their time caring for their son who returned home after years in hospitals and rehab. She described the ordeal of seeing him in a coma, watching his many treatments and finally hearing him utter his first sound.
"It was a sob," she said.
With time, she said he began to take steps with a walker but he remains severely impaired. She said her son is never left alone even when he sleeps.
Another witness, neurosurgeon Dr. Gabriel Zada, was the first to operate on Stow when he arrived at the hospital. He said Stow's traumatic brain injury was so severe that doctors feared he would not recover. He said others with such injuries often have remained in comas or a vegetative state.
"We were trying to keep him alive," he said.
Girardi said that the Dodgers cut costs by using more non-uniformed off-duty police officers than uniformed officers, who cost more. "The deterrent effect of having an officer in blue means a lot to everybody," he said.
Girardi described a rowdy atmosphere at the game, with a crowd of 56,000 and tempers running high because of the teams' fierce rivalry.
"There was a lot of hostility," he said. "It's different than going to a night at the symphony at the Hollywood Bowl."
During the game, one of Stow's eventual assailants was throwing food and soda at people sitting near him in the stands, Girardi said. "All of the time there was this yelling and screaming and throwing stuff at these nice people there was no security," he said.
Attorney Dana Fox, representing the Dodgers and McCourt, said a capacity crowd was expected and the Dodgers took it seriously.
"The evidence is going to show in this case Mr. Stow was gravely injured because of a testosterone- and alcohol-fueled flash-fire fight in the parking lot," Fox said. "Some of this was caused by Mr. Stow, who consumed a lot of alcohol. He drank liquor and beer before the game and beer during the game."
When Stow arrived at the hospital, his blood-alcohol level was 0.149 percent, and forensics experts will show that at the time of the fight his level was between 0.16 percent and 0.20 percent, Fox said. The legal limit for driving is 0.08 percent.
Girardi earlier told jurors that the Stow's blood-alcohol level as it related to the standard for drunken driving was irrelevant because Stow and his friends had taken a taxi to the stadium and afterward were heading to the street to take another taxi.
Fox, however, contended that "it is not legal to be drunk in public when you can't care for yourself and others."
The defense attorney said the Dodgers had assembled "the largest security force ever for an opening day in their entire history," including 437 officers and security guards, Fox said. The sworn officers included police and California Highway Patrol, and the FBI was also present because an opening day game is considered a potential target for a terrorist threat, he said.
The Los Angeles Police Department and FBI had command posts at the stadium, and the FBI also had cameras, Fox said.
The Dodgers' security cost for that day was $66,604 out of a season-long budget of $2.185 million, he said.
The team's attorney told the jury the only issue was whether the Dodgers acted reasonably or were negligent.
While Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood acted criminally and despicably in attacking Stow, the Dodgers were not responsible for their actions, Fox said.
"If they (plaintiffs) do not prove the Dodgers were a substantial factor in causing the injuries, they lose. The standard in this case is whether my clients acted reasonably," he said.
Witnesses at a preliminary hearing testified that security guards were not present in the parking lot where Stow was beaten and kicked by Sanchez and Norwood. The pair wore Dodgers gear, and Stow wore a Giants shirt.
Sanchez pleaded guilty to one count of mayhem and was sentenced to eight years in prison. Norwood pleaded guilty to one count of assault likely to produce great bodily injury and was sentenced to four years. Both still face unrelated federal firearms charges.
