morality/ethics relates to physical benefit and harm (at least at one end of its spectrum), while aesthetics relates to how pretty or ugly we find something. So the two domains are very different in degree of effect.
The only difference is in subject matter. But not in how such judgments are made. Consider...
Maya priests retrieving still-beating hearts out of living human sacrifices to secure the favor of the gods and ensure a good harvest.
Cows are sacred in India, whereas we barbecue them.
In parts of the Islamic world, clitorectomies are performed for what that culture perceives as noble reasons.
I'm sure most of us could list quite a few more. In fact, we wouldn't even need to go outside our own culture. I'm referring to the abortion debate, meat eating vs vegetarianism/veganism, capital punishment, etc.
All of this seems to show that ethics and morals are a personal thing and/or a cultural thing, like aesthetics, and not something objective and factual.
I disagree. Beauty is both objective (symmetrical faces) and culturally subjective (facial tats). Good/evil is objective, located by evaluating circumstances, and it is not maleable across cultures.
Yes, what is good/evil has to be individual to each situation. But, the same action done twice in an identical set of circumstances doesn't become good in one culture and evil in another culture.
Slavery in antibellum America is not good while slavery in industrial America is at the same time evil. Slavery is evil no matter what side of the Mason-Dixon line you're on.
We try to tell ourselves good and evil can be relative to culture because it's fashionable to be tolerant of cultural diversity, but cultural relativism is a delusion.
Comparing beauty and evil/good is an apples to oranges comparison.
The definition is the same, just without a supernatural element and the personification of evil in Gods/Demi-gods/Devils.
But the "divine" element is really the essence of morality anyway, however we choose to define morality. If we can define it precisely, we have a precise definition of "the divine".
No matter how humdrum it may seem when we achieve it.
But the "divine" element is really the essence of morality anyway...
The essence is the philosophical element, not the divine. I know divinity has peed all over the term to mark its territory, and now some are reluctant to go near the urine-soaked concept, but divinity is not required unless the definition of either 'divinity' or 'morality' changes.
I read an interesting book recently, "The Righteous Mind" by Jonathan Haidt. He's made a study of morality all over the world and has come up with six categories of "foundations" for morality which tend to be the same the world over, just expressed differently. These are: care/harm; fairness/cheating; loyalty/betrayal; authority or subversion; sanctity or degradation (moral yuk factor); and liberty or oppression. I would introduce another: the control of women's reproductive rights and control of sexuality in general. I think that all of these can be covered by care/harm but that is a very anarchistic way of looking at it.
It's true that there are a number of broad moral systems in operation in the world today. But each one is a system unto itself, whether it only has one follower or has millions. It's also true that most people probably don't think about or examine morality very closely. The ones who do tend to be those people who live dangerous lives.
The practice of female genital mutilation rides roughshod over the care/harm foundation. It's only considered from the male perspective. The man doesn't want his "spear" to be opposed by the female clitoris. (Of course, this screams "insecurity" and "immature selfishness".) But this practice is the norm across large parts of the world. If it wasn't, then people who practice it would be seen as dangerous lunatics by society at large.
How can evil be objective? factual?
I'll tell you how: If some power outside the universe declares what is good and what is bad.
Otherwise, various societies, cultures, tribes, religions declare or legislate right and wrong.
That we have to muddle when it comes to ethics and morals is just part of being an atheist.
Each moral system has to be explicitly defined. There comes a point where people say, we define this as right and the opposite as wrong. A fact/value divide (thanks Kir), an "ought" from an "is". Or rather, these are the consequences of doing "this" (right) and these are the consequences of "that" (wrong).
Then the definition becomes the objective standard.
Yes. It becomes factual in terms of matching a state of affairs to a definition, but not in terms of facticity. The temperature at which water boils doesn't vary geographically the way moral/ethical standards do.
As you've accurately described moral systems, their terminology is exactly as I described it: legislated not discovered. Facts are discoverable. We can match a situation to a law and it becomes a fact that the situation fulfills the legal standard or does not, which means it's determinable rather than discoverable, but that is not a universal fact that cuts across cultures, like the temperature at which aluminum melts.
Evil melts at 36,109 degrees C., it's a fact.

Public safety
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the modern meaning of the term. For the French Revolutionary governing body, see Committee of Public Safety.
See also: Public security
Public safety [This term is used in many capacities by countries, states, cities, and regions to describe the authority and responsibilities the entity oversees. The public safety issues a city might grapple with include narcotic use, trespassing, burglary, harassment, juvenile delinquency, unauthorized living, noise, littering, inappropriate social behavior, DUIs, and other quality of life issues.] The following definition only looks at a higher level of function such as a country task force: involves the prevention of and protection from events that could endanger the safety of the general public from significant danger, injury/harm, or damage, such as crimes or disasters (natural or man-made).

Latest Guide News
5:25pm GMT - 10th Feb 08
Amazingly significant news. All iPhones can now be software unlocked, for free. The amazing George Hotz did it overnight. Check his blog for the interesting story of how and why he did it. Dead simple instructions here: http://iphone.unlock.no/OTB112unlock.htm
9:40am GMT - 25th Jan 08
An 'unofficial' 1.1.3 Jailbreak/Activation has been released. Apparently, this jailbreaking solution is illegal, as it reportedly contains material copyrighted by Apple. A second, 'official' iPhone Dev Team release is now also available. The word is that the unofficial 1.1.3 jailbreak is easier to perform, but may contain a few rough edges or bugs.
I've found understanding how the iPhone and iPhone jailbreak / hacking / unlocking processes work a little confusing. There are a few good guides on doing some of these processes, but few actually go so far as to explain what's actually going on - and I find sometimes I can fix problems that may occur better if I actually understand the process myself.
So, this is my effort to collect together as much information as I can into a complete beginner's guide to hacking the iPhone. The hope is that it'll provide people coming after me with a single place to learn all the stuff that seems to have taken me weeks to get to grips with.
This summary assumes you're not doing things the 'official' way (i.e. a proper iPhone-contract AT&T or UK O2 SIM, or with the official iPhone unlock).
iPhone Firmware
The software on the iPhone is called the 'firmware' and can be upgraded in the same way the operating system on a computer can be upgraded. Apple recently released firmware version 1.1.3 that introduced the ability to reorder icons on the home screens, and a few other cool features. Upgrading the firmware is something Apple want you to do, and is made really easy through iTunes.
You can find out what version of the firmware you're running by going to Settings > About > Modem firmware.
[INDENT]1.0.2 - out-the-box comes with bootloader 3.9 - Activate / Jailbreak with iNdependence
1.1.1 - out-the-box comes with bootloader 3.9 - Activate / Jailbreak with AppSnapp
1.1.2 - out-the-box comes with bootloader 4.6 - Activate / Jailbreak with TouchFree after 'updating' (not restoring) from 1.1.1 and installing Oktoprep from installer
1.1.3 - out-the-box comes with bootloader 4.6 - Activate / Jailbreak with 1.1.3 soft upgrade in installer
You upgrade to any version other than 1.1.3 through iTunes. Upgrading to 1.1.3 should be done using the soft upgrade solution, not iTunes.
GSM Components
The iPhone's software that controls the GSM radio (the mobile phone bit of the iPhone) seems to have a few distinct components. These are:
Not sure what this does, but iPhones bought at different times have different versions of the bootloader. iPhones that had 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 when they were purchased (referred to as out-the-box or 'OTB') have bootloader version 4.6. Firmware 1.1.1 and prior have bootloader version 3.9.
The baseband seems to be the bit of software that interacts with the GSM radio (the phone bit) directly. Baseband 04.02_13G and 04.03_13G can be unlocked using the GeoHotz method.
03.14_08G - comes with 1.0.2
04.01_13G - comes with 1.1.1
04.02_13G - comes with 1.1.2
04.03_13G - comes with 1.1.3
Upgrading to a newer iPhone firmware through iTunes version will cause the baseband firmware to be upgraded too, potentially breaking your SIM unlock if you used an AnySIM method. Allegedly, the GeoHotz method is upgrade resistant.
I'm not sure what this is, but getting the secpack from the 1.1.3 firmware was apparently crucial to being able to downgrade the 04.02_13G baseband firmware that you get if you update to 1.1.3.
Seczone is stored inside of baseband eeprom where IMEI, NCK etc are saved.
This is an important file, but I'm not sure why. If anyone knows what this is, please post a reply to this thread.
Hacking Components
Along with the software components that play a part in the hacking of the iPhone, there are a series of states of 'hacked-ness' the iPhone can be in:
Activation is supposed to ensure that you can only use your iPhone when you get it out the box once you've plugged it in to iTunes. By doing this, Apple can make you register, set up a contract, etc... Once you turn the iPhone on, you can't get past the activation screen to use the phone or any of the other apps unless you activate.
Obviously, if you're not using the official SIM, you're not going to want to be activating your iPhone in the official way.
On the Mac, you can use iNdependance (FW 1.0.2), the ever-elegant AppSnapp (1.1.1), Oktoprep and TouchFree (1.1.2), or the software upgrade 1.1.3 method.
Jailbreaking is the process of enabling third-party applications to be installed. What makes jailbreaking so special is that it decrypts the iPhone's file system, allowing it to be read and written to by your computer. Once this level of access is available, the Installer application can be installed, and then you can download and install applications from the iPhone itself.
Since jailbreaking requires the iPhone to be activated first, jailbreaking and activating are usually performed as one step (certainly they are in 1.1.1, 1.1.2 and 1.1.3).
Commonly confused with activation or jailbreaking, unlocking refers to the process of making the iPhone be able to use any SIM card put in it, not just the 'official' ones (AT&T, O2, etc...). Unlocking using AnySIM (the free community-driven unlocking app) works by making changes to the baseband (see above), and must be installed and run on your phone - which requires it to be activated/jailbroken. Upgrading your iPhone to a new firmware usually upgrades the baseband, and your AnySIM unlock will be overwritten. The new GeoHotz method is apparently upgrade resistant, so use this over AnySIM.
All current firmware versions can be unlocked properly via the GeoHotz method. You may need to upgrade your firmware first though. See links above.
Useful Links
Now that you (hopefully) understand a little more about the processes involved in hacking the iPhone, you're going to want to know how you do it. Some of the best guides are:
http://iphone.unlock.no/ - general guides for downgrading/upgrading and unlocking. Once you understand the basics in this guide, you can use the great tutorials on the linked site to perform the hacking.
Please note
This guide is an evolving entity. If you know that any of the information in it is incorrect, or think you can add or clarify a point above, please post a reply or send me a PM, and I'll keep the guide updated.

About Sangamo
Sangamo BioSciences, Inc. is focused on research and development of novel DNA-binding proteins for therapeutic gene regulation and genome editing. The Company has ongoing Phase 2 and Phase 1/2 clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel ZFP Therapeutic® for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. As part of its acquisition of Ceregene Inc., Sangamo acquired a fully-enrolled and funded, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial to evaluate NGF-AAV (CERE-110) in Alzheimer's disease. Sangamo's other therapeutic programs are focused on monogenic diseases, including hemophilia, Huntington's disease, lysosomal storage disorders and hemoglobinopathies such as beta-thalassemia and sickle cell anemia. Sangamo's core competencies enable the engineering of a class of DNA-binding proteins known as zinc finger DNA-binding proteins (ZFPs). Engineering of ZFPs that recognize a specific DNA sequence enables the creation of sequence-specific ZFP Nucleases (ZFNs) for gene modification and ZFP transcription factors (ZFP TFs) that can control gene expression and, consequently, cell function. Sangamo has entered into a strategic collaboration with Shire AG to develop therapeutics for hemophilia, Huntington's disease and other monogenic diseases and with Biogen Idec for hemoglobinopathies. Sangamo has also established strategic partnerships with companies in non-therapeutic applications of its technology including Dow AgroSciences and Sigma-Aldrich Corporation.

Hey guys, I successfully virginized and upgraded my unlocked 1.0.2 to 1.1.1.
I've activated, jailbroken, and installed SSH using iNdependence. For some reason I can't connect to my phone via SSH! My WiFi settings are correct. I can even get online using Safari on the iPhone.
Is there any way to get AppTapp on the phone so I can install OpenSSH that way, or is that not the solution?
I have both a Mac and PC, so can use any method to solve this. Any and all help would be very much appreciated!
Thank you!

How to Apply. Our mantra is "less is better".
We strongly encourage you to use our product a drop at a time until you're fully
familiar with the way it works on your skin. In order to understand the significance
of "less is better" place a small drop of HobaCare Jojoba on the back
of your hand. Massage it in. Notice that it spreads easily and absorbs readily.
You want the product to absorb because that's how it works best—by softening
and conditioning the skin.
Condition Skin . HobaCare Jojoba's conditioning effects
are well known and widely recognized. It is found in numerous up-scale personal
care products as an ingredient. The product is gentle enough for newborn babies.
It soothes, and it restores elasticity to any dry skin area while conditioning and
softening the skin. For daily conditioning, apply HobaCare all over the body immediately
after bathing. Apply it either while the skin is still wet, permitting the skin
to air dry after application, or apply it after gently blotting the skin dry, while
the skin is still moist. Apply HobaCare from time to time during the day, especially
on elbows, knees, calves, feet or other areas prone to dryness. HobaCare Jojoba
soothes and conditions sun- or wind-burned skin.
HobaCare Jojoba has an SPF of only 2 to 4. We do not recommend it for use as a sun
screen alternative. Those with darkened or dark skin may wish, however, to use it
before applying sunscreen to maintain the skin while in the sun. We recommend applying
HobaCare after sun exposure to soothe and maintain the skin. Add a few drops of
lavender, carnation, or lemon essential oils and the mixture will fend off pesky
If you love your moisturizing cream and wish to moisturize with more than just water,
then apply your moisturizing cream first, and follow with HobaCare Jojoba.
If you wish to try some combination of HobaCare Jojoba and essential oils on your
skin to improve conditioning, please consult our section on Aromatherapy.
Note: Toxicological test data from human and animal studies using jojoba, as well
as cosmetic formulations containing jojoba, support the conclusion that jojoba is
considered safe (Journal of the American College of Toxicology, Volume 11, Number
1, 1992). In the USA, after more than 30 years of public use of cosmetics containing
jojoba, there is no evidence of incompatibility with the skin.
Psoriasis Relief . HobaCare Jojoba does not cure psoriasis.
It does provide soothing relief. Moisten the skin and massage HobaCare in.
Condition Scalp and Hair. HobaCare conditions hair and
scalp, prevents dryness, and restores manageability. HobaCare relieves babies' cradle
cap and is far more congenial to the hair and scalp than olive or other vegetable
oils or mineral oils.
Jojoba is often found in shampoos and conditioners as an ingredient. Manufacturers
include jojoba in their formulas because it is safe, stable, mixes well with other
ingredients gives their products a silky feeling and is known to be good for the
skin. However, such formulations do not include sufficient amounts of jojoba to
make a difference to the consumer. Symbolic uses of jojoba as an ingredient belie
the logic of using it. Consumers want jojoba to penetrate the hair follicle and
scalp. Penetration won't effectively occur if the consumer is washing hair with
it. Penetration is best achieved by applying jojoba directly to the scalp and hair
prior to shampooing.
Each of us has unique hair and scalp conditions. Formulated products with small
amounts of jojoba do not address our individual needs. Use of HobaCare Jojoba eliminates
the generalizations of formulated products. You use as much as you need for as long
as you need it. You are the formula.
We suggest the following routines using HobaCare Jojoba for scalp and hair:
Remember: use reasonable amounts of the product. If you use too much, simply shampoo
again. You will quickly discover the combination of amount and saturation time best
for you.
To deal with specific hair issues, such as oily hair, dandruff, or bleached or permed
hair, please refer to the recipes in the Aromatherapy
section of this web site.
Chapped and Cracking Hands. Doctors, nurses, musicians,
carpenters, gardeners-those working with their hands find HobaCare an excellent
conditioner, which restores suppleness and prevents dryness.
Give your hands a HobaCare bath at night, just before sleeping. Place a generous
amount of HobaCare in a palm and then "wash" your hands with the product,
massaging it into the backs of the hands, between the fingers, and into the cuticles.
Continue massaging until all of the HobaCare has been absorbed. Put on a pair of
cotton gloves and leave them on all night. Repeat the treatment from time to time
during the day. Add natural Vitamin E or a healing essential oil, such as lavender,
to HobaCare prior to application.
Massage and HobaCare Jojoba. Experienced massage therapists
prefer HobaCare Jojoba. Please refer to the section for professional
massage therapists to obtain information about HobaCare and Massage.
Aromatherapy and HobaCare. HobaCare Jojoba is a "fixative".
While it has a mild, nutty scent of its own, it is totally vulnerable to the scent
of its immediate environment. After HobaCare has been in your skin for a minute
or two, you will not perceive HobaCare's scent, only your own. This characteristic
makes HobaCare an ideal carrier or base for essential oils and perfumes. Adding
essential oils to HobaCare enriches one's experience with the product, whether it
is used to condition skin, scalp and hair, or for massage or any of the other applications
described on this website.
We recommend that you mix your own essential oils with a base or carrier of your
choice--as opposed to purchasing pre-mixed products. By mixing your own essential
oils with HobaCare Jojoba, you will know exactly what you have added to your base
and in what strength.
To obtain reliable sources of essential oils, please consult the National Association
of Holistic Aromatherapy: www.NAHA.org.
If you are not familiar with Aromatherapy, you may wish to consult our
Bibliography. Or, you may wish to refer to our Aromatherapy
section for more information.
Cuticles. Manicurists routinely use HobaCare Jojoba to
condition and soften cuticles and to polish finger nails.
One may "soak" one's finger tips in HobaCare Jojoba, a highly indulgent
practice, or one may apply HobaCare to the cuticles using a cotton swab. After application,
massage the product into the cuticles. For nails, after applying HobaCare buff the
nails . (Of course, you can do the same with toenails!)

Shaving Face and Legs
It's laughable to watch major multi-national companies competing head-to-head on
the basis of which one can squeeze more blades onto a razor head. In addition to
the "Mach III", we now have the "Quatro"! And shaving creams
and lotions continue to be rife with ingredients which actually cause dryness and
irritate the skin.
It's time to declare a return to sanity. Shaving should be simple and straight forward.
Our solution is to use your favorite herbal soap, first. Wash your face and leave
the herbal soap on the skin. (For some herbal soap ideas, please go to our
Favorite Links.) Follow by rubbing HobaCare into the skin. Alternatively,
wet the face, massage HobaCare into the skin, and follow with the herbal soap. Then
shave. How much HobaCare should you use? Put about the size of a quarter in the
palm of your cupped hand. That should be more than enough to cover the facial area
you wish to shave.
Before rinsing your razor with hot water after each stroke, run the razor head across
a cotton wash cloth to remove most of the hair and soap lather. Then rinse with
hot water and take the next stroke. When you've finished shaving, run the razor
head across the cotton wash cloth one last time and then rinse it under hot water.
The razor will last longer if it's cleaned well. Rinse your face with warm water
to remove all excess soap. You're face will feel smooth and soft after the shave
and rinse because the HobaCare Jojoba will still be in your skin.
Alternatively, use HobaCare Jojoba as a pre-shave conditioner under soap or lather.
If you use an electric razor, use HobaCare as an after-shave conditioner.
Women, if you shave your legs, follow either of the procedures noted above.
HobaCare conditions and softens, permitting a closer shave. It does not irritate
sensitive skin.
To add zest and invigoration to the shaving experience, add 5 drops of rosemary
to 125ml of HobaCare Jojoba for shaving face or legs.
HobaCare is available in small bottles and in bulk. We accept MasterCard and Visa.

In the arab world throwing shoes at someone is the ultimate insult.
Personally I look forward to the day when he gets a boot in his @$$ all the way back to Crawford, Texas.
Don't you wonder how it is that a news reporter, or anyone for that fact, was able to take his shoes off, even if a slip on, and throw them both at the President before he could be stopped? What kind of security is that?
What is it with shoes? Remember the shoe bomber?
I just can't understand how he slipped them off without being noticed and someone wondering why he was taking them off. Strange.

Yes but they don't like him for a different reason than you...I think...
Yes they do have a different reason!
Thank Gawd for Term Limitations!
I sincerely hope that we never again have a "C" student Yalie tapped as CEO of the most powerful nation on earth.
It boggles my mind that it could have ever been allowed to happen and we will pay the price for a long time to come!
One thing for sure in a few short weeks it is going to be strange having a President that can speak in complete sentences and properly pronounce multisyllable words.

Too bad the guy missed is all I can say.
Any random person could probably have done better than Bush did.
He wrecked the economy, decimated the military, distorted the intelligence about WMD to justify his inane war in Iraq, took his eye off Afghanistan, which was the real terrorist threat, leaving us poorer, weaker, and more susceptible to attack.
The main problem with Bush is that he is both stupid and stubborn... a deadly combination for a president.
I sometimes think the man Dubbya mighta sipped on a bad batch a shine in his yunger days an kilt more brain cells than he shoulda.

Dumb as a Stump
I was just checking the video, and I'm thinking it was a pretty quick reaction to duck under the throw, and then the second shoe came right away, and he had his arm up in case he had to deflect the shoe, no ducking that time. It sailed high.
That reporter had pretty good aim the first time, it woulda smacked Dubya right in the face. The second one was a ball, over the shoulders. Heck, it was even higher than his head.
They must of not been very good shoes if he was throwing them away like that. I wonder how much shoes cost there. Are there cows walking around, where you can just chase them down and ask for some leather? Have you ever milked a cow? I can't think that I have, maybe a cat, but not a cow.
Goat milk...........What's that about? I hear the goat skins are good for new wine. I read that one in the bible. Don't use the old goat skin though. That's important to know. Who even does that anyway? When I buy wine, it comes in a bottle. But why buy wine, when they make beer?
I just don't get it.

Here is a couple of pictures I like...
You all should thank God for our president.He has kept us safe so far.But because of the liberal fools that think that barrack INSANE obama will make us safe has been drinking to much draino.
The Financial Problems this moron created are things that my grand children will be paying for. It is sad that we backed the actions of the drunken cowboy that wanted a fight as long as we did. Now it's time to pay for all the broken barstools...

Buffalo Sabres 2014 News and Updates
4/7/14 – After being diagnosed with concussions, goalie Nathan Lieuwen and defenseman Chad Ruhwedel will miss the final week of the season. There is good news however for fans with Buffalo Sabres tickets (min. $17) for Tuesday's game against Detroit - forwards Marcus Foligno, Chris Stewart and Torrey Mitchell have a chance to return to play. Guaranteed to finish in last place, most are looking forward to the NHL draft where the Sabres are assured to be a top two selection. With the second pick locked, and a 25 percent change to win the first, will Buffalo trade their draft pick in 2014?
4/1/14 – The Sabres will lineup for the final time this season on April 13. Currently 12 points behind the Edmonton Oilers (29th place), Buffalo is ready to put the 2013-14 campaign behind them. Ted Nolan signed a three-year contract extension Monday. Coach will continue to rebuild; lining up more talent is on Nolan's agenda, as is re-signing restricted free agents Tyler Ennis, Marcus Foligno, and Cory Conacher.
… more
The future is bright with a talented 2015 class in which the Sabres will be fighting for a top pick.
3/27/14 – The injury-depleted Sabres lineup has one win in their past 10 games. Tonight's game in Nashville will complete a five game road trip that included their only victory (vs. Edmonton). There are just four more games this season in Buffalo and two are coming up – 3/29 vs. Tampa Bay (avg. $96) and 4/1 vs. New Jersey (avg. $40). Cheer on recently called up duo defenseman Ramus Ristolainen and forward Johan Larsson at First Niagara Center before the team's 2013-14 campaign comes to a close.
3/18/14 – In Thomas Vanek's first game back at First Niagara Center since being traded to the New York Islanders in October, the Habs eliminated the Buffalo Sabres from playoff contention. The team's former scoring leader was honored Sunday with a video tribute. Buffalo will take a five game road trip (first four games in The Great White North) before heading home. The Sabres have just four regular-season games remaining at First Niagara Center; the most affordable being against the New Jersey Devils (avg. $51) April 1 (and no, that is not an April Fool's Day joke).
3/10/14 – Buffalo welcomed home a couple of kids Sunday: Blackhawk's Patrick Kane who scored a highlight-reel goal for Chicago and Cory Conacher who made his Sabres debut and added an assist. Getting his first point in his first game with the club impressed head coach Ted Nolan. Watch as the former standout with Canisius College continues to progress with Buffalo Sabres. Tonight's game against Nashville is the cheapest remaining regular-season game at First Niagara Center (avg. $36).
3/3/14 – The Sabres were part of the biggest NHL trade of-late as the St. Louis Blues acquired Ryan Miller and Steve Ott from Buffalo in exchange for Jaroslav Halak and Chris Stewart. It was an emotional game in San Jose Friday as the Sabres stunned the Sharks 4-2, completing their third straight win since the Olympic break. After a whirlwind weekend, the team will chase their fourth straight win tonight when they visit the Dallas Stars, the first of three straight road games. Buffalo returns home Mar 9 against the defending Stanley Cup Champions, Chicago Blackhawks. Buffalo Sabres tickets for the Sunday meeting range from $46-$213.
2/26/14 - Sorry Buffalo, but this team is propping up the standings from the bottom with only 15 wins and not even their greatest player ever, Gilbert Perreault could get them into the playoffs now. But the loyal Sabres fans will be hoping for a strong finish and have solace in the fact they have 6 of the top 60 picks in the draft. Another plus is the average price for Buffalo Sabres tickets for their remaining games is only $75 and to see the Chicago Blackhawks when they come to town on March 11 you can get in for under $60. Save some dough for awesome Buffalo wings!
2/21/14 – The Sabres (15-34-8) will return to the ice post-Olympics Feb 25 when Buffalo hosts the Carolina Hurricanes. Buffalo Sabres tickets for the team's first game back are relatively cheap, costing fans anywhere from $26-$90 for a seat inside First Niagara Center. During the break, the Sabres released Linus Omark. The forward was acquired in a trade with Edmonton on Dec 19, giving up a conditional sixth-round draft pick. Omark's stay in Buffalo was quick lived; the 27-year-old Swede had two assists in 13 games with the Sabres.
2/4/14 – Buffalo has dropped nine of their last eleven, including a disappointing 2-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers Monday. After missing four games with an upper body injury, forward Drew Stafford returned to the Sabres lineup, scoring a goal for Buffalo; but Stafford's contribution wasn't enough to take out Edmonton. Hard-hitter Tyler Myers left the game with about four and a half minutes left in the second period with a lower body injury and did not return. As Sabres turn their attention to the trade deadline, the roster looks forward to an Olympic break in which they can regroup. The Sabres are twenty plus points out of the second and final wild card spot and it would take a miracle to come within reach of a playoff berth.
Buffalo Sabres 2013-2014 Season
No major changes were made to the Buffalo Sabres roster this offseason. The only major change this 2013-2014 NHL season will come to their Division. All of the Buffalo Sabres rivals are opponents from the former Northeast Division. Last year every team in the Sabres Division finished at .500 or better and four of the five teams advanced to the NHL Playoffs. In 2013, the Detroit Red Wings, Florida Panthers, and Tampa Bay Lightning join the former Northeast Division to become the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference.

2012-2013 Season
Prior to the
NHL realignment
, the
Boston Bruins
and Buffalo Sabres were the only two American teams in the League. The Bruins and Sabres have had a rivalry running back to the 1970's. Buffalo Sabres vs. Boston Bruins tickets at
First Niagara Center
this season average $208 (2/26), $192 (129), and $156 (10/23). Another rivalry that began back when the Sabres joined the league is Buffalo Sabres vs.
Montreal Canadiens
. Tickets to the matches on Buffalo ice average $210 (3/16) in the fourth most expensive game on the Sabres schedule and $168 (11/17). The Sabres newest rival,
Ottawa Senators
, will play in the home opener averaging $152 (10/4) and in mid-December for an average of $129 (12/10). Due to proximity, the Buffalo Sabres also have a rivalry with the
Toronto Maple Leafs
. Sabres vs. Leafs tickets average $208 (11/9), $204 (11/15), and $74 (9/21 preseason).
Buffalo Sabres tickets are up 14% since last year. Despite the price of Sabres tickets going up an average of $18 a ticket in 2013, they now rank sixteenth in the NHL (last year Buffalo was the 10th most expensive ticket in the league).

It is an overcast morning Friday, and a tiny woman sits on a bale of hay outside a distant barn at Santa Anita. In the stall behind her is a giant race horse.
Her name is Kathy Ritvo, his is Mucho Macho Man.
She weighs barely 100 pounds. He stands more than 17 hands and weighs close to 1,200 pounds. They are the Mutt and Jeff of thoroughbred racing.
She is the trainer, he the breadwinner. Each has a story of survival, but hers is more compelling. Plus, she tells hers better. Mr. Ed, he is not.
They are not from here, but are happy to be visiting.
Santa Anita opens its Autumn Meet on Friday, and it is front and center for the next six weeks. Its grand finale will be Breeders' Cup weekend Nov. 1-2. It was here last year that Mucho Macho Man got to within half a length of Breeders' Cup Classic winner Fort Larned to finish second.
Mutt and Jeff will help get things rolling in next Saturday's Awesome Again Grade I Stakes, a $250,000 race that pays the way for its winner to start in the BC Classic. A good performance will keep the two around for this year's Classic.
During that extended stay, Mucho Macho Man will work at Santa Anita on a surface he seems to love, and, ideally, keep the kind of edge that gave him the fastest five-furlong performance of 58 horses on the track Sept. 13.
Mostly they will wait.
Oh, and she will repeat her story again, as more media arrive for the Breeders' Cup.
She told it Friday morning, sitting on that bale of hay, holding her 4-month-old puppy in her lap, surrounded by dirt and dust and animals and all sorts of things she should avoid.
Ritvo, you see, is a heart transplant recipient. Infection is her enemy. Her daily existence in a barn atmosphere would not rank high on a doctor's list of best environments. Nov. 13 is the fifth anniversary of receiving her new heart and she has yet to experience any signs of rejection.
"I refuse to get it," she says.
The 31 pills a day she takes contribute to that resolve.
She is a billboard for happiness. She says things such as:
— "I don't have bad days."
— "I wouldn't have my life any other way."
— "I'm a better person. I appreciate things more. You stay in the moment."
She lives in the Fort Lauderdale, Fla., suburb of Davie and was 39 when she got the transplant in Miami. She had cardiomyopathy, a weakening of the walls around the heart. It had claimed her father's life and one of her brothers'. She had been failing progressively since 2001, but had done her best to maintain a stable of thoroughbreds, as well as a family with a husband and two teenage children.
Doctors studied her heart after they replaced it and told her she probably wouldn't have made it more than several weeks longer.

'The mystery of enchanted forests and the thrumming chill of icy passes' – The Undercover Soundtrack, Melissa McPhail
Posted by Roz Morris in The writing business, Undercover Soundtrack on January 23, 2013
My guest this week began writing at roughly the same time as she started piano lessons. She says music and writing have always been natural pursuits for her, ways to help her grapple with a fundamental need to express the inexpressible. When she needed an aural companion for her epic fantasy series she found it in Bill Whelan's rousing Riverdance. She is Melissa McPhail and she's on the Red Blog with her Undercover Soundtrack.

term used for a pressmans pre- apprentice. usually takes the blame for journeymans mistakes, yet well protected by the union...usually responsuble for all the shit jobs in the pressroom. Term is usually restricted to web press trade. the flyboy gets his name from pulling bad copies from the fly of the press untill the press operator apprves the copies. If he proves loyal,and effeiciant, he will be approved for an apprenticeship, then 4 years later becomes a journeyman. As unions die off, this proceddure will become history.
Have that freaking flyboy get the starter plate, its at the chute! We need these presses runing!

Evert: Serena calendar Slam 'absolutely possible'; more pre-Aussie thoughts
ESPN analysts Chris Evert and Darren Cahill spoke with reporters on Tuesday about the Australian Open, which begins Sunday. ESPN2 will air more than 100 hours of live coverage of the two-week tournament, starting Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET. Here are some highlights from the conference call:
Can Serena Williams win the calendar Grand Slam?
Evert: "It's absolutely possible. … She's got the motivation, because she's been out of the game so many different times, either for injuries or for other interests in her life, so she's still a fresh older player. … To stay healthy in this day and age is, as we've seen [with Rafael] Nadal and other players, more difficult, especially for someone like Serena who is such a physical player and has a tendency to get injured. When she's on, she's unbeatable. I don't know if anybody can really stop her. But you have to remember that we're talking [all four] Grand Slams in the same sentence, and they're two-week tournaments and have always provided surprises.
"So the big question is for those two-week periods, can she keep the high level of focus and fitness? There are no easy matches anymore, as we saw last year here [at the Australian Open] when she lost [in the fourth round to Ekaterina Makarova] and at the French when she lost [in the first round to Virginie Razzano]. You got to start out 90 percent to 100 percent from the first match.
"Do I think it [a calendar Slam] will happen? I have my doubts only because she is human."
Cahill: "At the moment she's playing a level or two above the opposition. She's a stronger, faster athlete than she was maybe three or four years ago. She's a more intelligent tennis player now. The fact she's been looking to take other people on, other people's advice, has helped her tennis. I feel like she's always learning. It's a great example for everybody, that even once you reach your 30s, there are still ways to improve your tennis.
"The reason so few people have won the Grand Slam is because it's such a very difficult thing to do — different surfaces, different balls, different challenges along the way. … But a fit and healthy Serena absolutely has a chance. If anybody can do it on either side, Serena can do it."
What would a calendar Grand Slam mean for Serena Williams' legacy?
Evert: "Anybody who wins a [calendar] Grand Slam in this era with the level of tennis as high as it is — because the level of tennis gets higher every single year — would currently have to be the greatest player that ever lived. Point-blank, that's all that needs to be said. She would still be the greatest player that ever lived even if she didn't win four in a row, in my mind."
Cahill: "If she would go through and win the four majors in a row, that would mean she won six in a row [after winning Wimbledon and the U.S. Open last year]. If she won six in a row, there's no question in my mind she would be the greatest female player that's lived."
On 19-year-old American Sloane Stephens …
Evert: "She went into last year with these big eyes. She was a novice. She was finally on the big stage, on stadium courts. It was an awakening for her. It was like a dress
rehearsal for her. Now she's had that experience behind her and it seems to me that she's moving better and she's also more relaxed in the position that she's in, you know, in the top 50 in the
world. … [N]ow she's mature, she's calmed down. She does have the talent to win a Grand Slam title."
Cahill: "We see a couple of kids, male and female, come through every year that have top 10 written all over them. Sloane is one of those players. I feel she's matured in the last 12 months. Her game is great. It's always been good. I feel like she's got that personality that expects to be in the top 10, and that's half the battle, feeling like you belong on the big stage, you belong playing the greatest players in the world.
"You just have to play a little bit of a waiting game with a player like her because she has a lot of weapons. She needs to find the best ways to utilize those weapons. Maybe that might come in three months, maybe that might come in three years, but there's no question she has top 10 written all over her and can certainly win a Slam."
Could you say the same thing about 18-year-old Laura Robson?
Cahill: "Absolutely. She's half a step behind Sloane as far as the development. … Laura has improved her movement around the court, which is going to be a big factor with her to deal with the strength of shots in today's game. There's no question Laura has the talent. I don't think I've seen anybody in the ladies' game that varies the spin the way she can do it. The fact she is a lefty is a slight advantage. She also understands the game extremely well. She certainly has the weapons. But there's the court speed and the ability to play a little defensive tennis at times that is going to be important for her to evolve and improve. But there's no question there can be a rivalry there."
On 20-year-old American Ryan Harrison …
Cahill: "The second year on tour is a real learning year for a lot of these players. It's what happened to Ryan as well [last year]. Exactly the same at Bernard Tomic. … [Harrison] slipped down a little bit after having a breakthrough in 2011. … I feel that this is a kid that takes the right steps to be as good as he can be.
"He's changed coaches a few times. He works incredibly hard off the court. He's taken on a mentorship with Andy Roddick, which is a good thing for him. You'll find in the next few years, with Tomic, [No. 50 David] Goffin, [Milos] Raonic is already up there [at No. 15] — they'll be around the top 10, if not in the top 10."
Evert: "The men's game, as far as American players, was a bit disappointing last year. The American women's game is looking stronger than the men's. Ryan and even Jack Sock, [John] Isner, these players, not to be too critical, but need that hard work ethic where they look and see how a [Rafael] Nadal trains, [Novak] Djokovic and [Roger] Federer and [David] Ferrer. The top players are at a different level when it comes to hard work ethic and the training and even the dedication. It's just brutal now. That's got to be one of the things, intangibles as far as, OK, you got a great game, but how much do you want it and how much are you willing to work for it? There's a lot of talent in those two players I mentioned, Jack Sock and Ryan Harrison. But they've got to maybe go up a little level as far as their fitness and their hard work ethic."
On Caroline Wozniacki …
Evert: "She's playing the tennis of the last generation. I don't mean that in a bad way. She never misses a ball, she's consistent. She's got great feel, great concentration. But the fact of the matter is she's giving her opponent too much time when she [Wozniacki] could be offensive. She has to take a few more risks off the second serve. Anything inside the baseline, she should go for. It's a tough task for her. Her goals have to be to take baby steps. Right now, she's not looking to be No. 1. She should be looking to be in the top five, top six. That would be a reasonable goal for her. … Her thinking is going to have to change and get a little more offensive and a little more aggressive."
Cahill: "You have to evolve as a tennis player; you have to get better. She needs to pump up her serve. She needs to find spaces in the court, not being three meters behind the baseline and wait for the game to come to her.
"I think the other factor, she fell into a little bit of a trap that a lot of players do when they have success. She made a change [in] equipment. She was the No. 1 player in the world. All of a sudden you get these major contracts being offered to you. The two things, unless it's going to do your game a lot of good, that you should never mess with … [are] the shoes you're wearing and the rackets that you're using. They are the two most important pieces of equipment that are going to determine how many you're going to win and how many you're going to lose. Any change you make to that, it takes time. You can never turn a career around because of that particular change. I would have loved to see her stay with what she had and keep evolving her game from there.
"Look, I can point to a hundred examples where a change of equipment has been a negative for a player. I can maybe point to a handful where it was a good one. A good one last year was Sara Errani. She handed back a big check for her racquet sponsor because she found a piece of equipment that was better for her game. Look what happened to her. Unless you find a piece of equipment that you know is going to be better for your tennis game, stay with what you have."
On Rafael Nadal …
Cahill: "He won't put himself back on a tennis court unless he's ready to win. The guy will do everything he can to get back to where he was. If he does come back, he's not coming back to be top 10 in the world, he's not coming back for the money, he's not coming back for anything but to win majors. When he does come back, and hopefully he will, he will be 100 percent. He will put himself into a position that he feels like physically he can compete with these best players in the world again."

Court Opinions
CRIMINAL PRACTICE: Murder, Firearms Offense
Alert: The defendant admitted firing gunshots into a crowd of partygoers, resulting in two deaths.
Subject Matter Index: Convictions, affirmed, as evidence supported them; two partygoers were shot and died of their injuries when someone fired into crowd after fight broke out at high school graduation party; eyewitnesses described shooter as black male with dreadlocks and bleeding from open wound on his right hand; defendant admitted to shooting into crowd to frighten group of men, who had sliced his hand with knife or razor blade, and defendant's blood was found on both handle of murder weapon and on ground at point where evidence indicated that shooter had been standing.
Headnote: The Supreme Court affirmed Labaron Curry's convictions for felony murder and two firearms offenses, holding that the evidence supported them. Two partygoers were shot and died of their injuries when someone fired into a crowd after a fight broke out at a high school graduation party. Eyewitnesses described the shooter as a black male with dreadlocks and bleeding from an open wound on his right hand. Curry admitted to shooting into the crowd to frighten a group of men, who had sliced his hand with a knife or a razor blade and Curry's blood was found on both the handle of the murder weapon and on the ground at the point where evidence indicated that the shooter had been standing.
Text: Melton, Harold D., JusticeFollowing a bench trial, Labaron Curry appeals his convictions for two counts of felony murder and two counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, contending that the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict.1 For the reasons set forth below, we affirm.
In the light most favorable to the verdict, the record shows that, on June 2, 2007, a high school graduation party was held for Javier McIntosh at a rented clubhouse. Over the course of the evening, the crowd of partygoers swelled to approximately one hundred people. Near the end of the evening, a group of uninvited people arrived, and a fight started inside the clubhouse during which a number of people were cut with knives or razor blades. In reaction, the crowd began pushing out of the clubhouse into the parking lot. With his hair in dread locks and wearing a black shirt, Curry, whose right arm had been badly sliced, ran outside, took a position in front of the clubhouse, and began firing a .357 magnum revolver into the crowd. Yahshika Frye was shot in the neck and died at the scene. Molly Cohran was shot in the chest and later perished at the hospital. Several witnesses saw a black male with dreadlocks shooting, and some of them noticed that the shooter was bleeding from an open wound on his right hand. Curry later admitted to shooting into the crowd to frighten the group of men who had injured him. The murder weapon was recovered by police in a ditch with four spent shell casings inside its chamber.2 Projectiles recovered from Frye's body and from an area behind Cohran's body were determined to have been fired from the .357 revolver. In addition, Curry's blood was found on both the handle of the revolver and on the ground at a point where evidence indicated that the shooter had been standing.
In assessing this evidence, it must be remembered that
felony murder does not require proof of a criminal intent to murder. Flores v. State, 277 Ga. 780, 783 (3) (596 SE2d 114) (2004). As to the aggravated assault, [Curry] was charged with assaulting [Frye and Cohran] with a deadly weapon, and the intent to injure is not an element of the charged offense[s]. Easley v. State, 266 Ga. App. 902, 905 (4) (598 SE2d 554) (2004). The crime of aggravated assault, as alleged, is established by the reasonable apprehension of harm by the victim of an assault by a firearm rather than the assailant's intent to injure. Id. All that is required is that the assailant intend to commit the act which in fact places another in reasonable apprehension of injury, not a specific intent to cause such apprehension. Id.
Smith v. State, 280 Ga. 490, 491-492 (1) (629 SE2d 816) (2006). The evidence in this case, including Curry's admission, was sufficient to enable a jury to determine that Curry was guilty of the crimes for which he was convicted beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979).3
Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.
1On September 13, 2007, Curry was indicted for two counts of malice murder, two counts of felony murder predicated on aggravated assault, and two counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. One count of each crime related to the murder of Yashika Frye, and the remaining counts related to the murder of Molly Cohran. Following a bench trial ending on December 11, 2009, the trial court found Curry guilty of two counts of felony murder and two counts of possession of a firearm. Curry was acquitted of the two counts of malice murder. The trial court sentenced Curry to life imprisonment for each count of felony murder and five consecutive years for possession of a firearm. Curry's trial counsel filed a motion for new trial on January 5, 2010, and new appellate counsel filed an amended motion on September 28, 2011. The trial court denied the amended motion on May 15, 2012. Thereafter, Curry filed a timely notice of appeal, and his case was docketed to the September 2012 Term of this Court and submitted for decision on the briefs.
2Officers also recovered a .9mm pistol, with a loaded clip, stashed behind the clubhouse's air conditioning unit. Two .9mm shell casings were also discovered away from the clubhouse.
3As an alternative, Curry contends that, at worst, the evidence could have supported only a conviction for voluntary manslaughter, citing Coker v. State, 209 Ga. App. 142 (433 SE2d 637) (1993). The determination as to whether Curry acted with a sudden, violent, and irresistible passion was a matter for the trier of fact. Here, the evidence was sufficient to support the determination that Curry was guilty of felony murder after he intentionally decided to "shoot the place up" when the victims were killed.
Trial Judge: Arch W. McGarity, Henry Superior Court.,
Attorneys: Angela B. Dillon (Brown & Gill LLC), Norcross, for appellant. Tommy K. Floyd, District Attorney, Blair D. Mahaffey, James L. Wright, Assistant District Attorneys, McDonough, Samuel S.

Just when it looked as if there would be peace, that the conferences were done realigning, the Big Ten struck another blow that will send shock waves across the country.
Financially strapped Maryland grabbed the Big Ten's lifeline on Monday, agreeing to become the conference's new southern base along the East Coast.

Barry Bonds' mistress Kimberly Bell testifies
One of the star witnesses in the Barry Bonds perjury trial took the stand Monday morning and gave very graphic and very intimate testimony about what she claims were physical changes in the former Giants slugger during their nine year relationship.
Kimberly Bell dated Bonds from 1994 to 2003, which is before and during the time Bonds allegedly used steroids.
Among the things Bell said on the stand:
Bonds lawyers tried to prove that Bell's accusations were motivated by money during their cross examination. They said she was offered $100,000 for a tell-all article and photo layout in Playboy. Bell was also asked about an email she sent to Bonds' website in April 2004 where she listed all the women he was sleeping with. "This is the guy who you described as having penile dysfunction,'' Bonds attorney Cristina Arguedas asked. Adding, "That's a lot of action." The Associated Press noted that Bonds covered his mouth during that exchange as if to suppress a grin.
"If the jury believes her, which is always a big if in this type of case, the prosecution will be taking a major step towards proving their case,'' University of San Francisco law school professor Bob Talbot told AP.
Bonds is accused of four counts of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice for telling a federal grand jury that he never knowingly took performance-enhancing drugs.
Longtime Giants clubhouse manager Mike Murphy also testified Monday morning. Murph was asked about Bonds' hat size, which Murph confirmed increased over time. Murph said it happened to other players too, but normally after they retired.
