havent seen anything yet
no , still found nothing that answers that !
I don't really care that people own guns even though I disagree with people "needing" them for protection, but at the same time it's completely naive to not think that having stricter laws or adjusting them isn't going to help the problem.
Edit: And suggesting that Teachers should be armed is kind of forcing them to be something that they shouldn't have to or obviously didn't want to be. Give Teachers guns it doesn't mean they'll be able to handle the situation. So now all these Teachers have to be trained to be Police Officers. You're going to be forcing people who don't want guns or someone who doesn't like them to have to handle one.
How is that even fair or even right? When the same people arguing for this would argue that it is wrong for someone to take away their guns. You're against people taking away ANY gun, but you're ok with giving more guns to people that don't want anything to do with them.
And you still apparently are too lazy to read why armed officers in schools don't work.
So I'll repeat it:
So is that clear enough for you sunshine?

Maybe if he'd been allowed to have the gun on premises, lives might have been saved. An
instance of responsible gun ownership working despite irresponsible restrictions at the school.
The incident began on the morning of October 1, 1997 when Luke Woodham fatally stabbed and bludgeoned his mother, Mary Woodham, as she prepared for a morning jog. At his trial, Woodham claimed that he could not remember killing his mother.
Woodham drove his mother's car to Pearl High School. Wearing a trench coat, to hide his rifle when he entered the school, Woodham fatally shot Lydia Kaye Dew and Christina Menefee, his former girlfriend. Pearl High School's assistant band director, Jeff Cannon, was standing five feet away from Dew when she was fatally shot. Woodham went on to wound seven others.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
The school's assistant principal, Joel Myrick, retrieved a .45 pistol from his truck and, spotting him near the parking lot, shouted for Woodham to stop. Woodham instead got into a his mother's car and tried to escape. Myrick, a US Army Reserve commander, detained Woodham until authorities arrived.[8][9]
tell ya what ? when i open a page and have a thought at the original post , i'll answer it , if other people had the same thought before me then good on them ,but i haven't seen any thing of the sort , his comment was about the cost ( among other things and i'm not arguing the point ) and i made an observation on that , must have hit a nerve !
my thoughts are that it is way too late to bother with gun control for the states , you cant come up with a solution for a buy back without bankrupting your country , haven't got the balls to ban them altogether and you've got so many illegal weapons it would hardly make a difference
At the end of the day, no teacher would fire on a gunman if there was another student at risk in the vicinity.
But what this whole scenario demonstrates is what I've pointed out about the paucity of balanced thinking. You and LaPierre and the other fringe right wingers on this just immediately jump to the automatic response of more violence being the solution to violence. My bomb is bigger. My assault weapon is better. I'm the good guy.
This is the culture of violence that makes the portrayal of first person shooter games and violent movies using military assault weapons so palatable and ingrained in North American culture.
You...like Lapierre and Springer...just don't get it. Never will.
The result: no deaths, criminal apprehended.
What do you suppose the result would have been if the attacker had access to a Bushmaster .223 rifle, capable of firing its 30-round magazine in less than half a minute?
as i said in another post , youve got so many guns there i'm wondering how much of a difference it would make for the states?
we dont have the same proportion of mass shootings here and it may be well because the average person ( or lunatic ) doesn't have a gun handy when he looses it ! ( just a pointy stick ) but our typical gangsta shooting each other stuff hasnt changed , the bad guys kept their guns !
Kuli, I have to say I am not satisfied with your source. You said "provable evidence", and I didn't see any. As the one making the claim, it is your duty to provide the proof, as you've been the first to point out in many other topics.

didnt realise you were over here , do agree with the stats?
It already was addressed. You don't fucking get it do you.
At a time when the Republicans are blocking expenditure on everything....do you really thing that they will be throwing another 60 to 100 billion dollars at putting armed guards in schools? Do you really think that the community or state tax base will support the conversion of resources in the school system from educators to armed guards? In a foundering economy where most people are already resisting any more taxation?
It won't happen. And the NRA is off the hook by saying 'Well, we had a solution, but government wouldn't pay for it."
Our schools should not need to be lock-down bunkers. It is only further poisoning the minds of America's children and making them paranoid believers in what would literally become a police state. And do you think it would only be the schools? Nope. It would have to be everywhere there were groups of people. By virtue of the NRA's solution to 'protect' freedom, the US will become the absolute opposite...a society saturated with 'law' enforcement and paramilitary presence on every street corner.
But the NRA's masters would probably love this.
The initial post was to illustrate why the NRA response was an insult to the dead, not only of Sandyhook, but to the dead and the survivors of Columbine.

Democrats absolutely hate the idea that a private individual American can own a gun for the purpose of self defense. They really hate the idea that one of the primary reasons our founding fathers included the 2nd Amendment in our Constitution was a recognition of the fact that a free people always should have the means to defend themselves from a despotic government. Democrats are the embodiment of a despotic government. It is perfectly natural or them to fear an armed citizenry.
He also had this to say:
3. This year 446 school age children have been shot in Chicago, and 62 have died. There has been NO push from the left for gun control resulting from the carnage in Chicago. Odd, don't you think? By the way, Chicago has some of the most stringent gun control laws in the country. I'm sure you've seen these statistics on your favorite network television newscast, haven't you? Wait! What?
4. The media will NEVER go to any great lengths to report on the use of privately owned firearms in self-defense. This is not part of the leftist agenda. There was a shooting in a mall in Portland, Oregon a few weeks ago that was reportedly halted by a private citizen with a concealed carry permit and a weapon. When the shooter saw the weapon he promptly shot himself. You didn't hear that on your mainstream newscast, did you?
5. During a spate of school shootings in the late 1990s no less than three of those school shootings were halted by a civilian with a gun.
how much do you think the buy back scheme would cost?
Second Amendment is outdated. The founding fathers weren't talking about assault rifles, semi-automatics, etc.
some one tell me if i'm wrong ! but i heard on the news over here that the assault rifle was found in the car ? is that correct or a crossed wire ?
(1) An anecdotal example does not constitute scientific evidence.
(2) Note that a gun was not discharged in the apprehension of the criminal.
(3) Your example is of a military-trained professional apprehending an untrained civilian. How does this correlate to Kulindahr's recommendation that elementary school teachers take up arms? Are they to undertake mandatory weapons training before their appointment as elementary school teachers ? How often will their weapon competency be tested, and who will fund the training and testing procedures? Will their weapons be provided by the Government? Given your criticism of Government interference in most matters outside a standing army, would you support this expenditure of many billions of dollars per year?

Guarding your money is not more important than guarding your kids, but your money is more prone to a direct armed attack by criminals than the school your kids are in. And The way to guard money is entirely different - and way more direct - than the way we should be guarding our kids.

As any scientist or statistician will tell you, however, one event is not statistically significant in the assessment of trends or patterns. The US averages three mass shootings per year. If you could provide one similar event per year for the past ten years, I would certainly agree to recognising a pattern of successful intervention that was statistically significant.
Also, would you care to address my points 2 and 3 in my original post?

Your ego will not allow u to STFU
As for security
If I had a son or daughter in a school that had a visit from Lanza 2
I'd feel better with an armed guard
They'd have a better chance
Think Die Hard
As for Columbine - very unique situation - school size particular attackers etc.
Not a gun guy - never had one don't want one
But not an ideological slave either
And thanks but keep your "truth" pms to yourself
thanks all for being so tolerant with my spelling , and i didn't actually come here to argue , i just made a comment on the way that every thing is determined on cost now days ( may be it all ways was ) .
we used to hear that certain schools in the states had armed guards to protect the teachers from the students and the students from each other
And yes, I get careless in these forums. Spellcheck doesn't seem to work correctly, and time is important, particularly when you have a deadline approaching.
It is just that it is a logical fallacy to say that because there are armed guards in some banks, that if people loved their kids, they would put armed guards in every classroom.
Who has time for stupid false equivalencies? Particularly when the person goes on to joke about someone going to a semiors' home and killing them with a pointed stick.
Money is a high risk target for crime. Children aren't.
It is the hallmark of a failed state when parents require an armed presence in the classroom to play the odds that their children won't get mowed down by military assault weapons because they are so readily available in a country obsessed with being militiamen.
You don't get that apparently.

Americans need to keep their guns so they can protect themselves from gun violence just like Nancy Lanza did. And like Chris Kyle did. And like Gabby Giffords did. And like Tom Clements did. And like Michael Piemonte. And Joseph Wilcox.
my point was , lunatics are lunatics
apparently children are a high risk target for violent crime in the states , do many bank robbers go to the bank to shoot people ?
in many small business people are told to " give them the money , its insured "
you missed the point that you made , something about a failed state ?
Actually, the guards aren't there for the money. They are actually theoretically there to protect people, as a visible deterrent, not the money. And surprise. Most bank branches don't have armed guards. That is just in the movies, I think you'll find.
Certainly here in Canada, probably less than 1% of banks have armed guards. It is the same deal. Give the bank robber the money. The last thing that any bank needs is an armed shoot-out.
And children should not be made to feel that they are the target of violent crime. Our children are already neurotic enough.

so just incase anyone thought i was making jokes , my point was in response to the comment indicating that the " nutter " would go to a less secure place than a school ( if schools had adequate armed guards to deter afore mentioned nutter ) . it was meant as agreement to that and to show that in my opinion he would choose a soft target if he was dead set on killing people , an example of the next most helpless of our communities , not a joke .
we've heard various stories of the connection between this bloke and the school ? anyone fill me in on the latest version ?
asking because i am unsure , the last i heard they were still unsure of the motive ?
so was he dead set on this school or was it just the nearest soft target ?
any one got an answer on the assault rifle question ?
And because spellcheck is unreliable, I opt for just being good at spelling. It's easier for foreigners, admittedly, because we don't learn the language from listening to it, but still... It's a serious forum with serious things being discussed. Sucking at spelling doesn't really do much for someone who wants to be taken seriously.

Girlfriend, Interrupted
She's already blogged about me twice and I'm returning the compliment in this tardy fashion because she needs and deserves an entry, but I wanted to do it right.
How to describe Birdfarm?
Oh goodness.
We had an odd, delectable sort of friendship, which began by accident in our sophomore year when I left a comment on the white board on her door in answer to a query about why cucumbers might be better than men. Considering the way the two of us turned out, the question was almost prophetic.
(N.B. For you young kids, a "white board" was sort of like Yahoo IM, and sort of like text messaging, except not.)
I recall a great deal of affection, mixed with rather a large number of arguments. Not mean, nasty arguments - if she has a nasty bone in her body, I don't know of it. I mean the sort of disagreements that will arise between two people whose high regard for each other often leads them to wish passionately that the other person would change his or her mind about something immediately and completely, for his or her own good.
In fact, if she reads this Birdfarm may well disagree with the above assessment, but this is my blog. So, as Shakespeare wrote in The Merchant of Venice, "Nyah."
I've often thought, since leaving college, about what on earth was happening to me in those four years. I was a mess. Took me ages to figure it out. I touched on it when writing about how I started knitting. Learning to knit was a symptom of my overwhelming desire to cut my ties to a past I hated and become a member of a world I'd spent my life watching through windows from the outside.
And - she may disagree with this again - Birdfarm was to some extent like the other Alice on the other side of the lookingglass, wanting to leave her side and come over to mine.*
Heading in opposed directions like that, we were bound to collide once in a while.
But during the Dark Ages when Mr. Ex was neatly and efficiently cutting off all my friendships at the roots, I didn't think about that much. I just thought about this generous, screamingly witty, dazzlingly intellectual, delightfully unpredictible person who had been part of my life, and then was not. For somebody who spent so much time shaking her head over me, and who so often puzzled me with points of view I couldn't fathom, she nonetheless thoroughly carved out and occupied a place in my affections.
When people ask me if I'm glad I went to Harvard, I say yes. Not so much for the education, which was fine but which I might well have acquired at some other school. More for the chance to meet people like Birdfarm, who frankly are not to be met on every street corner. Not in this neighborhood, certainly.
She blogs, and she blogs very well (even when she's not writing about me), so go read her.
*Although we did have one thing in common - early childhoods spent in Tucson, Arizona. As I recall we were fairly certain our mothers pushed us past each other while shopping at Park Mall, and that we threw cookies at each other.
And another thing we had in common - coming out to our parents at about the same time, and sharing that lovely period of angst about when and how to do it. One day, Birdfarm said she was going to tell her father the news while driving in a speeding car. That way, if he reacted badly, she could immediately steer them off a cliff or into a wall and end it all.
I thought she meant she was going to shout it out as she drove by him.
Which led her to draw a fetching cartoon (a classic in our circle) of our four parents sitting at a table as she and I whizzed past in an open-top roadster screaming "WE'RE GAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!"

'Dash for Gas' Hits Europe as One Country Finds Itself on the Front Lines of the Fracking Battle
Photo Credit: Tom Grundy/Shutterstock.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
This report forms part of a major collaboration between Link TV's Earth Focus programme and The Ecologist magazine, reporting on the spread of fracking around the world. You can view all the film reports and associated coverage in the series here.
Republished on AlterNet in partnership with GlobalPossibilities.org.
Chris Faulkner is an oil man. From Dallas, Texas. And his company, Breitling Oil and Gas, is a major player in the burgeoning shale gas sector.
Faulkner is in London to give a presentation on whether Europe is the next shale gas hotspot, and to ask whether – if so – it has the necessary infrastructure to cope with a US style 'dash for gas'.
But he's also here to explain how the controversial process for extracting underground shale gas reserves – hydraulic fracturing, or 'fracking' as it has become known – can be green.
Contrary to the myths spread by environmentalists and parts of the media, the oil man contends, injecting – at high pressure – a mixture of water, sand and chemicals deep into the earth to release gas reserves is not in itself bad for the environment.
Instead, Faulkner believes, the oil and gas industry has done a poor job in marketing itself and in managing its public relations. This has, he argues, enabled others to speak for the industry, to capture the media agenda, and to spread alarm.
"The image of lighting your water faucet on fire [a key sequence in the anti-fracking, Oscar nominated film Gasland] has become the viewpoint or the image of fracking around the world. Now the reality is the media loves sensationalism and that has now transcended the entire scientific evidence that says that fracking is safe," he says.
The Breitling CEO does acknowledge that fracking has impacts. But he claims to have developed a programme – Envirofrac – to evaluate environmentally safe fracking procedures, thus helping to combat the problem.
"Fracking can be green. The environmental impacts of fracking can be effectively curtailed through a combination of technology innovation and smart regulation," Faulkner says in the press release sent out ahead of his London visit. "The focus must be on water conservation, earth preservation, and air quality monitoring."
But these are not terms environmentalists normally associate with fracking. In the US, the issue has become a key battleground between green campaigners and the energy industry. One of the biggest – and most bitter – such scraps of recent years in fact.
Advocates say fracking is safe (for people and the environment), secures a domestic gas resource to help boost energy security, provides jobs, and helps bring prosperity to sometimes impoverished communities.
Critics say fracking is dangerous (for people and the environment), unnecessary, and the latest example of corporate America trampling over the rights of ordinary people.
They argue – supported by a growing body of evidence, it seems – that fracking involves an unacceptable level of water usage, contaminates water supplies and spills potentially toxic waste fluids into the environment.
They also say the process uses an unsavoury mix of chemicals – including known carcinogens – and is a cause of air pollution, traffic congestion, noise, and a host of other problems.
Campaigners fear too that the shale gas boom will divert attention away from the search for alternatives to fossil fuels, thus potentially derailing efforts to tackle climate change.
Most recently, media reports have linked fracking to illnesses in livestock in a number of US states, including Pennsylvania, raising fears about food safety.

I have [Seethe] and [Antique Cornerstone Grimoire] for main hand and off hand, I don't always carry around a fishing pole, one when I'm doing the daily
Okay, my stats are:
spell power: 2524
Hit rating: 353
Crit chance: (with molten armor buff) 30.75%
Haste Rating: 748
My armory: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...en&cn=Lottices
I want to know which stats i need more, which I need less of, etc.
Any suggestions that would help me increase my dps are good.
I currectly do about 4k in heroics, I pulled 7.2k in OS, but I'm not sure what my DPS is in ICC since I only did Lord Marrowgar for the weekly.

any help?
OK, you have more Hit than you need. For heroics, you need 6%, and for Raids 17%. You get 6% just from talents., leaving 0% and 11%. If there is a Shadow Priest or Balance Druid, they will provide a 3% debuff, leaving only 8% needed for raids. Currently you are sitting at 13.46%. You can easily afford to drop 2.46%.
Haste, Spell Power, and Crit : More is always better.
Neither of your trinkets are particularly good.
Shard of the Crystal Heart : Roughly 2/3 of the Hit rating is being wasted (all of it is wasted in Heroics and raids that have the Hit debuff available), leaving only the Use to help you.
Talisman of Resurgence : The Int doesn't do a whole lot for you other than the small amount of Crit it provides - the Mana is nearly meaningless at this gear level. So again, the Use is the only real benefit from this item.
At a minimum, replace one with an Abyssal Rune from normal ToC5.
You can, of course, hold onto both to swap in for GS purposes if you are on a server that is obsessed with it.
A few of your gems I personally would have chosen differently, but there is nothing actually wrong with them.
I would advise getting rid of any druid who DOESN'T use FF in their rotation, because that's one of the main reason to bring a boomy to a raid. I'd rather have them tanking or healing than DPSing any day, and if they DPS without FF they are dead to me.
Moving on - lottices, you need to get Rawr and load your character into it, and use it to optimize your gear, gems, and enchants. It's not hard to use and what you're trying to do by focusing on certain stats is going to do nothing to help you or your dps (nice fishing pole btw). Your focus as an arcane mage as far as gear goes is:
4pcT10 - Head, Shoulders, Chest, Hands.
Legs - crafted Leggings of Woven Death. Don't bother with T10 pants until you are geared enough to go fire.
Your necklace is crap, get the Arcane Loops of Anger from HFoS until you get one off lootship 25 or marrowgar 25.
Your cloak is fine, look for an upgrade off saurfang 25 (Greatcloak of the Turned Champion).
Bracers are fine until you can get Ether Soaked Bracers off Rotface 10.
Belt is fine, you can get a minor upgrade from marrowgar 25.
Boots, have someone make you the Sandals of Consecration.
Your rings are both junk, you should start running pugs of at least the first 4 bosses in 10 and 25 man ICC or doing rep runs to get your ashen verdict ring. For the other ring, gunship 25 and a couple other early bosses in ICC drop some decent stuff.
Your shard of the crystal heart needs to go. I'd concentrate on getting Spyglass from Gunship 10, Reign of the Unliving from Anub25, and DFO from Rotface25. Hopefully you'll be able to get one of them...but until then - grind regular 5 man TOC until you get the Abyssal Rune.
Weapon - What you have isn't bad to start, but I'd look for the Frozen Bonespike off marrowgar 25 as my target weapon. 1st boss, easy kill, and hopefully everyone has one already.
Offhand - Grind HHoR until you get the shriveled heart. Same item level, but best for you until you get to princes25 or sindy25.
Wand - fine, but look for one off Rotface 25 or on the AH called Nightmare Ender.
Your ideal setup would be 210 hit for 25 man raids, more for 5 mans and 10 mans - but if you want the best dps you can, go with 210 and call it a day.
Your items should have a priority list of Spellpower>Haste>Crit. MP5 is garbage, hit is garbage (as long as you are at 210 base or more). Spirit on items is fine, but don't make stacking it a priority.
If you are serious about this, you should be able to get 40 frosts a week just from Randoms, VoA, the Weekly raid, and maybe a weekly inside ICC. Heck, you can even get in on 2 halion pugs to get 6 more frosties assuming you don't down the last boss.
Here's how:
Random Daily Dungeon - 14 Frost (2 x 7days)
VoA10 & 25 - 4 Frost (2 each)
ICC10 & 25 Pug, first 4 bosses + frost gauntlet - 18 Frost (2 per boss x 4, plus 1 for trash valk before dreamwalker - x2 for 10 & 25)
Weekly Raid - 5 Frost
Weekly ICC quest - 0, 5, or 10 Frost (assuming you get rotting frost giant and can down it)
Ruby Sanctum fail pugs - 6 Frost (assuming you only down the first 3 trash bosses inside)
That's potentially 57 frosts per week, assuming that you have the time to make that happen.

Just to reply to Goros, or more to add to what he said -
-Sandals of consecration aren't great for arcane.
-The Marrowgar 10 sword is pretty good too.
-The wand from totc10 is really good too.
-In general, as arcane, try to gear for haste when choosing which items to go for, and which parts of your tier gear to use. SP+haste+crit items are best, followed by SP+haste+spirit, followed by SP+haste+hit. SP+crit+spirit or SP+crit+hit generally isn't that great unless taken in moderation or with no alternative within 30 item levels.
Talisman of Resurgence is the second best easily obtainable trinket for an arcane mage.
Unless he's still running Heroic Ulduar 25 he's got Reign, Muradin's, or DFO to hope for. If he's not pugging or running ToC25 weekly he's got Muradin's or DFO to hope for.
I can agree with removing the hit trinket, but removing the Talisman is silly. It also gives spell power, not just the crit. Perhaps you've never played arcane?

CENTRAL NEW YORK -- Two campaigns are launched to celebrate Dunkin Donuts' history in Syracuse and to help save lives.
The store launched a "Celebrate 81" campaign Friday as a way to celebrate its first store in Syracuse in 1981. Customers can expect to find promotions like an 81 cent coffee along with contests this month in the Syracuse area.
In addition, the annual "Give a Pint, Get a Pound" campaign encourages blood donations during the month of January. All blood donors will receive a coupon for a free pound of coffee.
"It's very important to give back to the community and we look forward to doing it every year. And, it's very special for us to be part of this great program," said Lane Rodgers, Dunkin' Brands Operations Director.
"They've donated 435,000 pounds of coffee which has potentially impacted one point three million patients both in Central New York and across the northeast so it's a significant impact that Dunkin' is making," said Maureen Wellman, American Red Cross Communications Manager.
All blood donors in Central New York this month are also eligible to win 81 pounds of coffee.
Dunkin' will soon be opening its 81st restaurant in the Syracuse area.
