Apple releases iOS 6.1.2 for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, fixes Exchange calendar bug
Apple has just released iOS 6.1.2, their second minor point update, and as promised it fixes a bug that's caused network activity problems for Exchange calendar users.
iOS 6.1 was released on January 28 with Siri movie ticket purchases in the U.S., and increased LTE support internationally. iOS 6.1.1 was released on February 11, but was exclusive to the iPhone 4S, and fixed 3G network connectivity problems.
A separate iOS 6.1.1 beta was released to developers on February 6, mostly focused on Maps improvements for Japan. That update is still awaiting release will likely be re-numbered.
No word yet one whether iOS 6.1.2 fixes the other, highly-publicized iOS bug -- a passcode bypass Apple previously said would be addressed in a future update. Stay tuned.
If you've been experiencing the Exchange calendar issue, let me know how the update works for you.

Apple releases iOS 6.1.2 for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, fixes Exchange calendar bug
I assume that since I followed your post:
"How to setup Google Gmail on your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad"
This doesn't affect me.
No word on what, if anything, this does to the evasi0n jailbreak.
And there is still nothing about BIG PROBLEM with wifi and bluetooth for iPhone 4S users!?
Thank you Apple (sarcastic)!!!
Exchange has worked fine and still works fine.
I performed an OTA update from 6.1 on my VZW iPhone 5 and after updating successfully I have yet to have it find any network connectivity in an area that had full bars and LTE an hour before updating. I reset my Network Connection with no luck and am now doing a full restore. I hope this is isolated to me because this is a huge pain.
I had the same problem on my 32G VZW iphone5. First reboot after the update came up with no network connectivity other than wifi and I had previously had full LTE there. I just did a hard reset and it came up fine after that.
Edit: I was coming from 6.1.1, if it makes any difference.
I had the same problem on my 32G VZW iphone5. I just did a hard reset and it came up fine.
I don't really know what the exchange calendar issue is anyway, However I updated my iPad 3 regardless. But for some reason I can't seem to upgrade my iPod touch 5. It seems to download the update in 2 to 3 minutes, But it only gets so far in the preparing for installation when it comes up with an error saying that it could not update. Anybody have any ideas?
Doing it over the air is not working try the old way plug your iPod into iTunes and update from iTunes then when it's done wait untill you see the Apple logo with the loading bar then after that's done. You will have to set it up again but the wifi that you set up with will be on there.
I can't download this over Cellular, it's a 12.8MB file for me. Yet I can go on the App store and download 20MB+ app.
Something is seriously wrong with that picture.
Thanks ATT for your backwards thinking! I say this because a friend with an iPhone 5 on Verizon was able to download it over cellular no problem.
Here is an article http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2013/02/apple-exchange-calendar-bug-patch-h...
If you have an exchange account from work, they will block your account until you get the update. At least that is what my work did.
I updated my iPhone 5 to 6.1.2 software and it is affecting my network signal strength. Initially the update was smooth for a few days until it started having problems deciding to connect to the network. After pushing the 6.1.2 software update on my Sprint iPhone 5 my LTE signal is weak where it was once was very strong. It toggles between 3G and no service repeatedly. Before this update my iPhone 5 was performing exceptionally well! Apple needs to investigate this issue and push out a network fix immediately! Thank You

When Calvin and Beza attempted to enforce sexual morality in Geneva, we see that they frowned upon sex during the engagement period, and also upon secret "marriages" -- as documented in the book Sex, Marriage, and Family in John Calvin's Geneva: Vol. 1: Courtship, Engagement, and Marriage (John Witte, Jr. & Robert M. Kingdon, Wm. B. Eerdmans Pub. Co., Grand Rapids, MI: 2005); available in part online, to peruse.
My main purpose is to illustrate yet another example of Protestant moral laxity, even among its leaders, in order to counter the common myth that these men were of a much higher moral calibre than the "papists" they so decried and despised as moral scoundrels. Along these lines, see my paper, Martin Luther: Protestants' "Manner of Life" No Better Than That of the "Papists".
* * * * *
That he did not escape contamination he has himself confessed, but that he sinned grossly he has as plainly denied. In 1544 he made in the presence of two friends, Laurent de Normandie and Jean Crespin, eminent jurists, an irregular alliance with Claudine Denosse, a burgher's daughter, and at the time declared that when circumstances favored he would publicly marry her. His motive in making a secret marriage was his desire to hold on to his benefices. But he was really attached to the woman, and was faithful to her, as she was to him; and there was nothing in their relationship which would have seriously compromised him with the company in which he lived. The fact that they lived together happily for forty years shows that they followed the leading of sincere affection, and not a passing fancy.
(Philip Schaff [Protestant], History of the Christian Church, Vol. VIII, chapter, 19, § 167. Life of Beza to his Conversion)
Between the higher and the lower motives, the struggle in Beza's soul was severe and protracted. I pass on to the events in which the conflict issued.
Of these the first was his secret marriage.. . .
Claudine Desnoz was the name of the young woman upon whom Beza's choice fell. She was of a reputable family, but, as Beza himself admits, of a family inferior in station to his own. In view of the fact that her husband, who was by no means indifferent to matters of the kind, has nothing to say of her gentle birth, we may well dismiss as pure fictions such statements as that she was the daughter of an advocate of Paris, or the sister of a bishop of Grenoble. Be this, however, as it may, the marriage took place apparently at some time in the year 1544, and the witnesses were two of Beza's most intimate and honorable friends, both of them jurists of distinction, Laurent de Normandy and Jean Crespin. Of the latter I shall have more to say presently. As to the marriage itself, much as the secrecy with which it was entered into must be condemned, the union, duly ratified as it was four years later in a public ceremonial, proved a harmonious and congenial one that lasted until the death of Claudine.

Ariana Grande, "Yours Truly" (Republic Records)
While Miley Cyrus is being a wild child to demonstrate she is growing up, Ariana Grande is letting her music do all the talking.
The 20-year-old singer-actress, one of the stars of Nickelodeon's "Victorious" and the network's spinoff "Sam and Cat," is in near-perfect form on her debut, mainly thanks to her Mariah Carey-esque vocals and songs written by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds.
"Yours Truly" kicks off with the R&B-flavored, near-6 minute "Honeymoon Avenue." It's dreamy, velvety and warm, and backed with shoo-be-doos and violins. It sounds as good as a Justin Timberlake intro.
Grande uses her voice as an instrument throughout the 12-track set: "Baby I," with its finger snaps, features her screaming high notes; "Tattooed Heart" and "Daydreamin" are A-List ballads; and on "The Way," her lead single and Top 10 hit, Grande's voice sounds like a Carey-Toni Braxton mash-up.
Her breakthrough comes at a time when other former Disney-Nickelodeon stars have pop hits – Cyrus and Selena Gomez are following the Rihanna track with "We Can't Stop" and "Come & Get It," while Demi Lovato's latest sound mirrors Kelly Clarkson. But Grande is looking back to a '90s R&B-pop feel on her debut – and her formula works better than the others. "Almost is Never Enough," a duet with The Wanted's best vocalist, Nathan Sykes, sounds classic and the Big Sean-assisted "Right There," which samples Jeff Lorber's "Rain Dance" – also sampled for Lil Kim's "Crush on You" – could easily be a No. 1 hit.
Carey should be proud.

TW Hydrae, a star located about 176 light years away, is one of the closest things in the universe we have to a time machine. That's because it's only about 8 million years old, and its believed to look a lot like what our own Solar System looked like in the first few million years of its existence. By studying TW Hydrae, astronomers can learn more about the history of our own Sun.
Recently, while observing this star, the Hubble Telescope found something pretty amazing – a gap in the star's protoplanetary disk. The disk, which was discovered a few years ago, is an accretion of large amounts of material that are expected to coalesce into a planet over the course of time. The most likely reason why such a gap would exist would be the formation of the planet. As the planet traveled around the star, its gravity would either attract or push the disk material out of its way. Such a planet would be somewhere in between 6 to 28 times more massive than Earth.
If the gap really is where a planet is located, then that planet is 7.5 billion miles from its star. That's about twice as far as Pluto's distance from our own Sun, making this the planet that is furthest from its parent star that we know of.
Here's the real kicker about this planet, though: if it's there, then current astronomical theories about how planets form are at least partially wrong. Planets are expected to form slowly over time, accumulating more and more rock and dust as it travels through the protoplanetary disk. Because planets like this are so far out from their stars, their orbits are slower and there is less material available to form a planet. Given that, it should take about 200 million years for that planet to have formed – way more years than TW Hydrae has been around.
Of course, before astronomers get out the erasers to get rid of the old theory, there's still some work to be done. In the paper, the authors note some possible alternative explanations for the observed gap in the disk, and offer suggestions for further observations that would confirm the existence of a planet.
If it turns out there isn't a planet, it wouldn't be the first time TW Hydrae has gone through this. In 2007, a team of German researchers announced the discovery of a planet circling TW Hydrae. Further observations by a team of Spanish researchers in 2008, however, found that no such planet existed.

hi ya,It's me again. I feel that i cannot live the way Christ wants me to live. As the above scripture says give to all who ask, don't only give when others give to you, expect no praise because your praise will come from God,etc. I am not capable of living like that anymore.
I do have very materialistic thoughts which i feel are wrong but God knows that i have them so what's the use of hiding them.
As Saint Paul said i think 'The Lord loves a CHEERFUL giver'!
QuoteAs Saint Paul said i think 'The Lord loves a CHEERFUL giver'!Yes, but God doesn' YOU because you're a cheerful giver but loves you because you have been established because of Christ.So...."The Lord loves Nancy, because of Jesus."Now....try and mess that up....honestly you can't...isn't it great!!
so without Jesus, God wouldn't love us??
The Lord may be asking you to keep one room clean, that you did not soil, in preparation for Him, through us His body, to clean the world.
There's still a lot of dust on our tabletops.

Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
As long as there is an armed police officer, or a secured defensive firearm accessible to trained staff, then I think schools are much safer. If each school needs to have an officer assigned to it, and if the school districts and cities can budget for that, then so be it. I'd be willing to pay more in taxes to assign an officer to every school.
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Conneticut Elementary School
I have been a school teacher for over twenty years, and I understand and agree entirely with what Mary is saying.
I remember in the early nineties we began to see these types of kids more and more. They are to a least a degree, products of their environments. Often they grow up in "homes" devoid of any kind of emotional, physical, or mental support. They are neglected and abused. Some are able to rise above this, but many don't. For those of us who grew up in relatively normal homes, we have no idea of the private hell their lives can become.
I don't know what else to say. I think the number of times that this has happened since columbine is a symptom of a society that needs to fix itself in so many ways. Its not just an American problem, a student was shot and killed at a school only 45 minutes from where I live and work.
I don't know about arming teachers. My God, how did we get here?

Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Albert Einstein
We cannot make this any better by passing more senseless laws or restrictions.These things happen and we keep on doing the same thing that does not work. Banning guns simply will not work or any anti gun laws would not have prevented this type of thing from happening. it never will. All over the world where guns are present or not when some psyco wants to kill a bunch of people what does he do? go to some unsecured place where people gather together for maximum body count. I seems to me the solution is simple, make places like that more secure. when was the last massacre at a courtroom? Never, they have armed guards and metal detectors and everyone that goes in is checked. Yes we have the technology, manpower and know how we can make public venues more safe and schools especially.
I got this quote from another forum but it is so true.
" Violence is a part of nature. No creature on this earth is exempt from it. Violence has shaped human society since the dawn of man and only people who have accepted this fact and prepared to meet evil with force have ever stopped it."
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
Talk is cheap. Public services are not.
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
If a private party wants security at their event, so be it. Let them pay for it. I do not need more in-effectual government stooges standing around scanning or searching everyone in public spaces. It wouldn't change anything. I/we certainly do not need to pay for it.
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
Sorry, didn't mean to offend, it was a bit of a rant on my part. I guess I am angry because every time this happens its the same. I saw it happen with the shooting in my school district. Nothing really changed as a result of it. Nobody wants to admit the problems are real and they exist and they need to be dealt with. Why? Because it costs money to do it, and the politicians are more concerned with preserving their own cushy positions and expense accounts, rather than risk not getting reelected by making an unpopular decision that would benefit the greater good.
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
[quote=Dr_Watso;1085674]I don't need to see police-state checkpoints everywhere I go just so that I can feel slightly more secure that a rare thing might not happen to me if I give up just a bit more freedom. I don't need to be scattered with useless ionizing radiation or take off my shoes to get on a plane just because someone decided that they want to pretend I'm safer for it. I'm not. If someone wants to do something crazy like this, we aren't going to stop them by pretending we can secure every potential target or place people congregate.

I am willing to take my chances and provide my own security, All I am trying to do is offer an alternative to passing more senseless laws or bans that do not do any good and violate my right and ability to defend myself.
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
Has it stopped it altogether? No, as you've noted there'll always be lunatics on a mission. But the figures don't lie. Isn't it at least discussion worthy as a nation? Isn't it at least worth considering we may have seen a very different outcome if the recent shooter didn't have such easy access to a ready made arsenal in his mothers cupboard? 26 people also had a right to defend themselves too.....but that argument didn't really work out too well for them, did it?. As it stands that Einstein quote is speaking volumes. Especially given no one even wants to have the conversation to begin with.
I'd never be so bold as to try and dictate to American opinion from an armchair in Melbourne, Australia. But the head in the sand approach just seems too silly to not pass comment on too. Ultimately, whether you "should" or "shouldn't" is an issue for the American people. But blind Freddie could tell you that you should at least be willing to have the discussion and lay all the cards on the table.
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
I agree with sitting down and talking. I agree with tightening rules. The only problem is the lawless don't care about laws. People still speed. Kids still make fake ID's. People still rob banks. All against the law and yet still happen every day. then we have the nut bag in Norway a few years ago who just went on the spree of a life time in a country with little or no homicide killing 72 people.

Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
It seems like the more violent the media, the more violent the society. Kids see people shooting people numerous times each day if they watch TV. I know this has to have a major affect on things. I mean even if you cleaned up the airwaves, there's still the internet which is still like the wild west in a lot of ways.
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
If life was only as black and white as statistical data the world would be a much better place.
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
What do previous gun owners think about the bans in your country? Don't they feel naked? I am sure all the criminals turned in they're guns as well. What about rape? I hear that went way up.
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
In the UK, we have a routinely unarmed Police force. Gun crime is also fortunately only a very niche issue and we have specialist units that deal with armed offences. The justification is below:
I've always been of the view that one gun in a potentially violent situation leads to a lower potential for being shot. Both sides having guns merely raises the stakes and in hazardous situations, simply increases the chance of being shot from panicking the criminal. This notion of 'defending oneself' is exactly the reason why knife crime in South London has become a problem. One teenager carries a knife, the others start carrying to 'defend' and then all of a sudden you have a spate of stabbings. The same is true of guns.
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
As this thread has now morphed to consideration of contributing factors, & the inevitable search for answers, perhaps as somewhat of an outsider to this debate, I can chime in with a few thoughts.
In a country where a very rich & influential lobby opposes mandatory safety catches on guns as being "unconstitutional", yet has a firearms related child homicide rate (by percentage of population) greater than the rest of the top 25 industrialized nations combined, you know any attempt to afford change is nigh impossible. The priorities are just too skewed to make headway.
Mandatory safety catch on a cigarette lighter = no problem.
Mandatory safety catch on a lethal device that would go some considerable way to preventing the 5 or so daily firearms related child deaths & injuries in the US = big problem. Go figure--
Clearly, any degree of gun control will never prevent a determined & resourced deranged individual from carrying out their intended crime. Same applies to terrorism. Ring fencing soft targets won't work either. Take all statistics in context & with a pinch of salt, but when the numbers stack up to be so hugely disparate, to deny that firearms proliferation isn't at least a very significant factor, is to ignore the overwhelmingly obvious. Saving lives of those outside of these dreadful high profile events must be the aim of all right thinking Americans. Preventing the multiple horrific, the exceptional, is a difficult one to win, but the daily slaughter that passes underneath the press radar can surely be reduced by a change of emphasis. Society is increasingly obsessed with protecting the rights of the individual. That's fine, but when upholding those individual rights is to the detriment of the greater society, one has to question personal motivation.
Adjusted for population size, & excluding suicide, the firearms related death rate in the US is 92 times greater than the UK. The UK is no model place, I can assure you, but in global terms, it's society demographic is surprisingly similar to that of the US, the only significant difference being it's gun laws. A multiplication of 92 times the death rate guys, that's no statistical "blip".
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
Just catching up on this thread after a couple of days. Interesting comments.
Besides, I look at school safety and security issues as a local and state concern. The taxes received by counties and states can be used much more efficiently and productively when it doesn't get filtered down by corruption and waste to the local schools that need it.
I only wish that I or someone like me could have been there so at the first murderous act, one of us could have shot Lanza dead right on the spot.
As a community we have to try harder to protect our most vulnerable public places. It is nigh impossible to prevent every act of insanity that results in tragedies like Newtown.
I hope this doesn't sound too cavalier, but I agree with Otto. I have had a good life. I would have traded my life to save any of them that day.
Philippe - Eat, Sleep and Drum.. .. it makes for a good weekend.
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
A few more intersting facts.
How does the number of murders committed with firearms compare to the number of suicides committed with firearms?
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, in 2011 there were 19,766 suicides committed with firearms and 11,101 homicides committed with firearms.
What percentage of murders are committed by people using guns?
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Statistics, in 2011 firearms were used in 68 percent of the nations murders, 41 percent of robberies, and 21 percent of aggravated assaults.
32% of the nations murders, and 59% of the nations robberies were conducted without firearms. There are many ways to kill and guns are only one.

Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
This thread is starting to become less about the sad, tragic loss of life and a stupid, and I MEAN STUPID, gun control debate. Not the thread for this everyone, please close this thread mods.
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
I think everyone has been doing a very good job of being compassionate and not over politicizing this issue.
My apologies if this thread was intended as a "only share your grief and compassion" thread.

Dear Newtown:
I must confess that Im glad to be leaving you though youre probably even happier to see me, and other people like me, go. As the week goes on and Christmas gets closer, there will likely be fewer members of my profession driving around your town, down Main St., and through Sandy Hook.
Youve been incredibly kind. And I would guess that not every one of us has deserved that. But I want you to know that I am very grateful for the patience you displayed when answering my questions, and will always admire the grace with which you handled the terrible events that took place in your pretty town.
I arrived here on Friday night hours after a troubled man who carried a scary rifle burst into the elementary school and killed 26 of your neighbours, 20 of them children and went straight to the Catholic church.
Hundreds of you were huddled on the lawn. Originally, I thought the service was over, and people were just waiting for friends or whatever, and were going to head home. Wrong. People were staying. And talking. To each other, to members of the clergy and to reporters. Tons of reporters. We represented media outlets from around the world. Norway. Spain. Korea, too, I later found out. Canadians, obviously. And from all over the U.S.
And you talked to us. To me. About how you felt about your kids, and how you worried for your friends, and how you hoped your town would eventually be OK. No one was angry at the assailant, not at that point. People were just terribly sad. And even as you cried, and hugged, and sang, only one out of the many people I approached said hed rather not talk and he said that with a polite, sad smile. And then he said to me, But thanks for asking.
I think you wanted to tell your stories, and those of your community, and I believe you did that beautifully.
Ive never lived in the United States, but Ive spent a lot of time here. For a couple of years I travelled here almost weekly I was covering professional sports for the Star and then, when I moved overseas, I worked for an American news organization, with many American colleagues.
I love the U.S., and I love Americans, and I always felt like I knew and understood this place. But here, in Newtown, I was reminded of the differences between our two countries.
Its not just your gun laws, though those are one obvious difference. Put it this way: If I had gone to Newmarket, Ont. or New Westminster, B.C., or pretty much any other Canadian community I think things would have been different.
This isnt to say that Canadians arent just as thoughtful, or as welcoming. But I think were more reticent when it comes to talking to the press and nowhere is that difference more obvious than when it comes to public officials.
Just look at the remarkable news briefing held by Dr. H. Wayne Carver, your states chief medical examiner, on Saturday afternoon. True, there is no prosecution in this case so he doesnt have to be careful about what he says, but I dont think theres any way any Canadian official would get up and speak as frankly as he did.
He said how many times the victims he saw had been shot. He described what the bullets did to their flesh. He gave the kind of detail that sometimes we dont even hear spoken in courtrooms. I was astonished.
And then, I have to confess, I was also taken aback Sunday afternoon when I heard a smart, pretty 21-year-old girl who was setting up to take donations for the families in your town make the guns dont kill people, people kill people argument.
Im not naive, but I was surprised when she and her two friends all said, sure, they know people with guns. I dont think I know anyone with a gun (cops notwithstanding). Look around, one of them said to me, waving her arm. Newtown is surrounded by woods. People hunt. Of course they have guns.
Zoe told me her boyfriends mom and her best friends mom were in Sandy Hook Elementary when the shooting took place. So I thought she might now think that people dont need weapons.
Some people are saying this is about gun control, she said. I dont believe that. This is about one sick person.
I dont forgive him, she said. I really dont, at all.
That was about the only anger I heard during the days I spent in your town. Mostly, people talked about love.
I havent cried yet. Ive been close, but when youre working, you just kind of keep on going. Ive tried not to look too closely at the pictures of the little girls they remind me too much of people who are important to me. And I grew up surrounded by amazing women who are teachers.
So I am glad to be leaving you. Because I get to go home and see those people. Ill get to hug them on Christmas Eve, and Ill get to laugh with my girlfriends, and sit at a favourite bar, and leave some of what I heard and saw in Newtown behind.
I wont forget you, though. And when I stop and remember, thats probably when Ill cry.

Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
What a difference a few days can make. Until Friday morning, Discovery Channel's "American Guns" was generally regarded as a popular, not especially complicated show about the travails of a family of gun sellers. In the aftermath of the devastating murders at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the show's become a symbol of our culture's fraught but durable love affair with guns. After hundreds of Facebook users besieged the show's page, calling for its end, they got their wish. The network has cancelled the show.

Re: Shooting in Newtown, Conneticut Elementary School
Look at Switerland, people walk around freely with rifles, men between the age of 20-30 are required to join the militia and are givin assault rifles to keep in there home, yet they don't have a high gun murder rate. It's not the guns, it's more to do with people with mental health issues getting there hands on guns or bombs.
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
Not banned (yet)
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Conneticut Elementary School
When you join the army (not by choice, mind you) you will be given your gun, however, it is closely monitored, and if the army think there's a possibility that someone could be a danger to themselves or to others, the army either don't give a gun or take it back.
I had an automatic assault rifle in the wardrobe in my bedroom for 15 years, it's for a much longer period normally, but I had to give it back when I left the country to live abroad. I kept it in that wardrobe though, it only got out when I had military duties to do (which I hated anyway)
It's not the guns that are problem, I agree, but guns in the wrong hands are a disaster waiting to happen, you need to find a solution for the hands, not for the guns.Which bring us back to the point raised by Mary...
Keep On Drumming
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Conneticut Elementary School
In addition to gun control reform and or improvement, this tragedy should also invoke the issues of improving awareness, security to vulnerable public places, crisis training, etc..
Larry touched on an interesting aspect to all of this. Our culture and history have a lot to do with this. The USA was born of rebellion and violence. Our country celebrates it in a way with film, TV and literature as entertainment. The media contributes to the incessant exposure to violence. We are becoming more and more desensitized to it even by our increased awareness of it.
In our modern world today, just our incredible access to information and current events offers up more possibilities that we could be putting more ideas into the heads of the truly insane people that would do these things.
Back in 1927, I'll bet that a very small percentage of the population would have heard about the school massacre in Bath, Michigan.
Even in a firearms abolitionists perfect world of zero firearms in anyone's hands (if they just didn't exist) crazy people will find a way to do crazy things. It doesn't mean we shouldn't try to improve our situation but accepting the fact that a "no weapons world" does not exist should prompt us to look more closely at the realistic things we can do.
I am always amazed at how almost all of the people that are so anti-gun don't really concern themselves at all with their personal security.
Except for those that are truly pacifists and would rather die than defend themselves violently, I think many of the no-gun crowd would probably prove to be hypocrites if this issue hit closer to home.
I remember when I used to live in DC, there was a Washington Post columnist that was very anti-gun. Carl Rowan was extremely outspoken about restricting the sale of hand guns.
A Wiki excerpt: Rowan gained public notoriety on June 14, 1988, when he shot an unarmed teenage trespasser, Neil Smith, who was on his property illegally. "The interloper was a near-naked teenager who had been skinny-dipping with friends in Rowan's pool, and the columnist's weapon was an unregistered, and thus very illegal, .22 caliber pistol." ..
.. Rowen was charged for firing a gun that he did not legally own. Rowan was arrested and tried. During the trial, he argued that he had the right to use whatever means necessary to protect himself and his family. He also said the pistol he used was exempt from the District's handgun prohibition law because it belonged to his older son, a former FBI agent. Critics charged hypocrisy, since Rowan was a strict gun control advocate. In a 1981 column, he advocated "a law that says anyone found in possession of a handgun except a legitimate officer of the law goes to jailperiod." In 1985, he called for "A complete and universal federal ban on the sale, manufacture, importation and possession of handguns (except for authorized police and military personnel).[7]]</ref>-->[8] Private gun ownership had been illegal in the District of Columbia since 1976[9] and the facts of the case were the talk of the town for many days.
Rowan was tried but the jury was deadlocked; the judge declared a mistrial and he was never retried. In his autobiography, Rowan said he still favors gun control, but admits being vulnerable to a charge of hypocrisy.
I offer this story in hopes that we might spend the rest of this thread, for however long it lasts, in IMO, on the more important issues of improving school security, training and any other ways we can find to stop this kind of thing from happening in the future.
Ultimately, there is no complete solution to avoiding another tragedy. One day, we're going to read a story about a soccer mom that notices a perp in her kids school parking lot. When she sees him take out a weapon and approach the school, she runs him over with her mini-van averting a disaster.
In an unfortunate way, this will be some of the progress that we are looking for.
Sorry for the long rant. I keep thinking about those poor kids and I get so bothered by it all.

Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
good grief. just a lame attempt at trying to be better than everyone else.
welcome to the ego show
Everything here has been very civil and it's not like this thread is going to bring back the dead children. It's absolutely horrific..THAT is something we can all agree on.
Let's ban guns, then we'll ban knives and then we'll ban spoons and before long we will ban keys. Where are the men in this world? Why have they become a bad crop of little boys who don't know how to be respectful of others and most importantly how to treat women? Women no longer get married to a strong man..they basically marry a child to raise. The family dynamic and morality in this world is suffering the wrath of selfishness. Culture has changed and we're too busy looking at our smartphones to adapt and balance the loss of morality. We just keep breeding more selfishness. No body knows how to love and respect their neighbor anymore.

Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
Unfortunately those hands are connected, however loosely, to some brains that have a disconnect or are medicated to the point that the person has trouble defining reality. This lady in Conn. mentioned to her friends that her son was drifting further away lately and she had a tough time getting through to him. Why in the hell then did she have weapons that he could access. Today in the news a 6th grader brought a handgun to school because he said his parents told him to for protection. He had a gun and ammo. These parents if this is true, need to spend a little time behind bars.
And here is another consequence of the shooting like other shootings, the conversation turns to gun control, and gun sales are up significantly since last weekend. Lack of Education, mental health issues and Psyco-tropic drugs are a big reason for all of this. The last 5 or 6 mass murders all had some issues they either had been or were being treated for. This whole thing is sad and an answer will be found, but only through calm, informed discussion.
On a side note I read yesterday that if the fore fathers indeed wanted us to have weapons, then all of them should be muskets of the type used during the writing of the Constitution.

Let's not forget that the mass media is controlled by corporations who are all connected to the Industrial/ Military Complex. The media has been used to lie to the world about many recent events such as 9-11. Never trust the media because they are corrupt. The media is not your friend.

Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
Yes this has morphed into a gun debate and IMO has no place here but that is not for me to decide. I will not read or participate further in this thread and will leave you with this, Just ask yourself what you as an individual could have done to help prevent something like this? I wish you all well and good day.
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
"I totally understand where your disgust and frustration come from. Many people are selfish but it does make me worry if 150 people who feel like you do got together in a legislative capacity, how quickly would you be trying to mandate what people spend their personal money on?"
You bet I would mandate it,and as far as what that personal money is spent on I think I mentioned something previously about the safety and welfare of children.
You can rest easy though, that will never happen. Most of here in good old North America are far more concerned with our own personal level of comfort and staying fat than doing anything that might benefit the greater good.
Re: Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School
I'm a little late to the thread but I have to compliment this site for the diverse group of folks here having such a rational discussion.
There are somewhere close to 300 million firearms in the US if you believe the statistics. (I think they are a little low based on production figures I've read.) Enough for almost every person to have one in this country. Restricting the supply in the future will do nothing. We can use Mexico as an example of how effective sweeping gun control in N. America is.
Removing existing firearms from their current owners would be a sure fire way to start another civil war in this country so no politician will touch that with a ten foot pole. So we are left with gun control being nothing more than a panacea for the emotionally charged constituents.
When terrorists took over airplanes and commited their evil acts we armed pilots, beefed up airport security, and expanded the air marshal program. These actions seem to have prevented further attacks, however the long term effectiveness remains to be seen one we leave the terrorists homeland.
Psychotics will always exist. They will find ways to do their evil deeds with or without firearms. The only realistic way to stop them is to identify and help them before they do their damage. If they aren't identified before they try to do an act of evil we need to make it difficult to find the time to do much damage before they are neutralized. The only way to do that it to have an on site response rather then waiting for the police to respond from across town.

Local businesswomen publish e-magazine for women in salesWritten by Kevin Moore | | email@example.com
The concept of "business is a man's world" is clearly an outdated idea as more and more women make their marks as business professionals, executives and small business owners. However, there are still many remnants of what was once a male-dominated occupation in the methods and practices of the business world. Such was the discovery of Jennifer Alford and Rebecca Booth, co-founders of The Sales Purse, a new e-magazine on sales and lifestyle geared specifically toward women.
"There are many women who work in the sales role. Rebecca and I are both in sales. But when we looked for some kind of publication or journal to help give us advice, we didn't find anything, so we created one," said Alford, editor-in-chief of The Sales Purse and co-owner of Creative Financial Partners, a comprehensive financial planning firm in Perrysburg.
"Cold-calling is the traditional way of selling. It's also a male-driven way of selling. Women don't respond to cold-calling. Women are relationship-driven. I knew marketing, but I had to learn how to sell and there wasn't much out there for women," said Booth, creative director of The Sales Purse and owner of Marketing Works Imagine That!, a graphic design, copywriting and marketing consulting company.
The pair met in 2000 at Women's Entrepreneurial Network, a networking group for female business owners to share their experiences and learn tips on finance, business software, sales, marketing and entrepreneurship.
"We figured out we had a similar business philosophy, that being we want to use our skills to help other people in business. There was a lot we could teach each other. We've been friends ever since," Booth said.
Apple picked up The Sales Purse for the Appstore after the first submission, an early victory that Alford and Booth said surprised them. They had a soft launch of their first issue in February, featuring a theme of love and articles encouraging readers to love themselves and love their work. This debut issue is available for free from the magazine's website. The Sales Purse officially hit the digital presses in March. The March issue, which focused on strength, featured an interview with the internationally renowned Kim Duke of Alberta, Canada, owner of The Sales Diva, a sales consulting company for women.
"We want this to appeal to women anywhere," Alford said.
Every issue of The Sales Purse will feature a lead article about sales, usually featuring an interview with a woman who has been successful in business. In keeping with the magazine's broad scope, featured women will come from all over the country and world, but Alford and Booth also plan look close to home and sometimes feature a businesswoman from Northwest Ohio.
The magazine's format is set up just like the contents of a woman's purse. "The Wallet" covers money; "The Cell Phone" shares communication tips for women in business; and "The Vitamin Box" focuses on health and wellness.
"One of our most interesting segments is "The Shocker." Every woman has one thing in her purse that would surprise people. So we ask the woman we feature in each issue: 'What shocking thing is in your purse right now?'" Alford said.
The vast majority of the content is written by the magazine's founders, with Alford, who is also a contributing writer for Advisor Today, focusing on copy and Booth handling layout and design. Each issue will be around 30 pages, with articles kept short to be consumed in a single 15-20 minute sitting.
"Our goal is to have a woman read the magazine after a long day, maybe when dinner is in the over or the kids have just gone to bed. We want to educate her and get her jazzed up for tomorrow," Booth said.
The Sales Purse does not currently contain any advertising, and that is intentional.
"Our time with readers is precious. We're focused on building a relationship with them. Right now, it doesn't help with our destiny and doesn't help our readers with their issues," Booth said.
That readership, which has grown steadily since the magazine's inaugural issue, is composed of about a 75 percent American audience and about 25 percent around the globe in places as far away as Southeast Asia and Africa.
"It tickles my heart that we can help a woman start a business in a third world country," Booth said.
While the magazine does not have advertising, Alford and Booth do have "sellables" in the form of framed watercolor inspirational sayings for women that say such things as "You amaze me" and "She believed she could so she did." The uplifting messages can be ordered online and sent to someone going through hardship or in need of encouragement.
The Sales Purse is available for download from Apple Appstore or from www.thesalespurse.com as a PDF. Alford and Booth are currently working to create an app for the Amazon Kindle as well. A subscription is $4.99 per month or $47.99 per year. New issues are released in the middle of each month.

Wind: 9 mph
To The Editor:
Every now and then I think about the letter Jon Jamieson wrote to The Valley Reporter not too long ago (you know, the insurance guy, totally focused....yah that guy ). It was a great thing on so many levels that I told him so when I saw him. I saw an editorial recently in a different form and I also wanted to share my feelings with its author. I thought I would let him/her know how truly thoughtless, careless, destructive and cowardly it is. I am referring to the bumper sticker that is going around stating, "Deputy Laskowski Sucks the joy out of this valley."
Lots of things suck. Gas prices suck. The war in Iraq sucks. (I support the troops, not the war....a fairly easy concept.) Rain in the winter sucks. It sucks when your dog dies. Skunks suck. Flat tires suck. Frozen pipes really suck. The truth is lots of things suck and we all suck once in a while right along with them. Maybe not all the time, but every now and then we all do. Face it. I know I do, just ask someone who knows me.
Speeding tickets also suck. You will get no argument from me on that. I've had a couple. However, so does speeding through town! I've done that too. A lot of us have. I always feel bad when I see one of the local kids riding along the road on their bike. I hit the brakes and check my speedometer. Oops! #@#$! I will tell you what I don't do. I don't blame the kid. He didn't make me late. He didn't push down on the gas pedal. He was just riding his bike.
You can't blame the cop for doing his job either. We're the ones speeding. I mean, isn't the whole point of the signs, the car, the blue lights, the hat, the badge, and the radar gun to remind us to slow down? There is a limit you know, "speed limit," get it? It drives me crazy too when I see that white Intrepid lurking on the side of the road. But, it is effective and you have to admire his diligence.
We all know what this is about, but going through the trouble of printing up a bumper sticker like that is pathetic. It is a public, personal attack on someone that lives here with the rest of us. Deputy Laskowski has a family and a school-age kid. Did you ever think that your bumper sticker might hurt her feelings? There are ways to protest that don't include name calling.
Don't hide behind the "the life out of this valley" portion of your sticker either. It looked like a cowardly way to avoid facing the possible legal consequences of your slur. It's not funny or tricky or witty. It's just lame. Get over yourself. Take some personal responsibility. If you got a ticket, pay it or fight it in court. Try telling the judge the deputy who pulled you over sucks. That should work out well for you.
If the point of the sticker was to get people to protest to the select board then why didn't you just write a letter to the paper and say that?

WILLIAMSON — The Williamson Farmers Market will conduct a workshop series throughout the year, with the first event set for Feb. 2, at the community gardens.
The event is hosted by the Williamson Redevelopment Authority, but the workshops themselves are led by local, state and regional agriculture experts.
Maria Arnot, with the Williamson Redevelopment Authority, said that the workshops, "will aim to increase production at the community gardens and Mingo County orchard, which will ultimately increase local food access, as the produce is sold at the Farmers Market."
Arnot also said the workshops "will help teach Mingo County residents how to grow their own food and reduce their food budget"
February's event will begin at 1 p.m. at the community gardens. According to Arnot, "Landscape Architect Ingrid Curry will help you save money by starting plants from cuttings by learning plant propagation methods. You will also learn how to build your own mini-greenhouse to start your own vegetable and flower plant garden."
Other events scheduled for the community gardens later in the year are as follows:
• March 29-30: Starting on March 29, at the gardens, followed by a session on March 30, at the Mingo County Orchard, North Carolina duo, Crystal Cook and Edward Marshall from the "We Are All Farmers Permaculture Institute" will work with participants on building soil, plant systems, water management, and animal systems at each location.
• April 20: Master Gardener Pauline Sturgill will teach participants the art of planting spring flowers and will share useful tips on how to best grow bountiful plants.
• May 4: Master Gardener Vinnie Kudva will share his expertise on producing unique crops such as Bottle Gourd, Elephant's Ear, Chinese Beans and Japanese Eggplant
Other workshop series are set for the Mingo County orchard and are as follows:
• Feb. 9: John Porter, West Virginia University Extension Agriculture Agent will teach you proper tree trimming techniques at this Pruning Workshop.
• March 1: Learn Integrated Pest Management techniques at this workshop led by Dr. Daniel Frank, WVU Extension Specialty. He will instruct on how to set trap kits and lures for pests, and how to apply organic products.
• March 6: This workshop will help you to identify signs of diseases in fruit trees and how to prevent and manage these diseases. Dr. M. Mahfuzur Rahman, Assistant Profess & Extension Specialist at West Virginia University will lead the workshop.
Other events to be held later in the year include:
• June 2013: A canning workshop led by Kathy Wellman of Kat's Kitchen will be held at a nearby kitchen following the first harvest of peaches and berries.
• August 2013: Wine making methods will be demonstrated at this workshop by local wine-maker Josh Martin.
Each event is free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/williamsonfarmersmarket or call Arnot at 304-235-1510

Volunteers at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church are continuing a 450-year-old tradition as they serve those in need of a hot meal at their new soup kitchen.
The Saint Francis Caracciolo Café and Soup Kitchen is named after the Italian patron saint of chefs. Oct. 13 was his 450th birthday, according to Immaculate Conception Father Jason Caganap.
After eight weeks of preparation, Steve Gehrhardt organized 52 volunteers and oversaw the grand opening of the new soup kitchen on Oct. 8. It will be open the second Tuesday of each month from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
"We're here to serve the homeless, the needy and the lonely," Gehrhardt said, adding that in addition to a hot meal they also offer companionship. "We're here to serve the community on another day."
The United Methodist Church on Redbank Road has a soup kitchen that is open on Wednesday and Friday. Gehrhardt said the Korean United Methodist Church near University Boulevard has a soup kitchen open every first and third Tuesday.
"Some are bakers, some are cooks, some are here for fellowship just to talk to other people," Gehrhardt said of the volunteers. "I think it's going to be a good addition to the city for the homeless and the needy. There are needy people, hungry people and homeless people in Goose Creek.
"To help just one person makes you feel good."
A red and white poster from the Philippines depicting Caracciolo hangs in the community center where meals are served. During the grand opening he looks over the rows of tables, which are all filled.
"His life was to serve the poor," Caganap said, adding that Caracciolo is also the founder of the Adorno Fathers of the church, which is Immaculate Conception's branch.
Caracciolo was born in Villa Santa Maria, Italy, home to the oldest culinary institute.
"When I was a young priest I was at Eva's Kitchen, a soup kitchen in New Jersey," Caganap said. "I would like to bring that here to help those in need. That gave me a foundation. I went incognito at the soup kitchen. That's where I got the idea of having a soup kitchen in the parish."
At the time Caganap was at the St. Joseph Parrish in Lodi, N.J. Eva's Kitchen, which is open daily and serves hundreds, is in St. Paterson, N.J.
"Thank the Lord and be grateful for all the blessings we have because we're here as a family, as a community," Caganap said as he addressed the crowd before blessing the food.
As of 11:40 a.m. they had served 49 guests. Gerhhardt said some guests were parishioners, but a lot of those sharing in the meal were new faces.
The church is located at 510 St. James Avenue.

About a year ago, employees of Aiken Rescue Inc. volunteered to help clean up Pine Lawn Cemetery off Hampton Street.
Now they have every intention of continuing to do so, said the organization's director, Janet Murphy, as about two dozen staffers and family members worked for more than five hours on Saturday.
"We've been coming every time for a cleanup," she said. "But now we've decided to come back and adopt a section of the road. We'll maintain it and keep it up and still come out with the rest of the community at other times."
For more than 100 years, into the 1950s, Pine Lawn was the only cemetery in Aiken where black people could be buried. Now it is invaluable for its history, and in 2007 was listed in the National Register.
Coleen Reed, active in many community endeavors, has taken part in recording the names of many of those at Pine Lawn.
"We're delighted with the commitment from Aiken Rescue," Reed said. "They're cutting the grass, weed-whacking and cleaning up the plots and gravestones. This group is just amazing, and they've got young people out there who are cadets with Aiken Rescue."
Anthony Dennis, joined on the project by his daughter Ambica, said it was a chance to imagine the lives of some of those buried at Pine Lawn.
"It's fun to be here spending time with my dad," said Ambica. "I recognized some names here from my history class."
Deborah Greer, a Pine Lawn board member, said she was moved to get that role. She came out Saturday and was pleased to see the efforts of the Aiken Rescue volunteers.
"They are awesome," Greer said. "It shows that the community does pull together."

Google Checkout Launched
"By integrating the checkout process with search and advertising, we're helping our users complete the cycle of searching, finding and buying," said Salar Kamangar, Vice President of Product Management at Google, about Google Checkout, the online payment system launched today.
Easier for buyers
How to find products you can buy with Google Checkout?
Google a product you want to buy and look for ads similar to this one:
Or visit your favorite store and look for this sign (or a similar one):
Why should you use Google Checkout?
You don't have to remember the username and password for each account you create to buy products. You just enter your Google Accounts credentials.
What credit cards does Checkout accept?
Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
Do you have to be in the US to use it?
The TOS says you must be:
* 18 years old or older;
* capable of entering into a legally binding agreement; and
* a resident of the United States
What stores accept Google Checkout for now?
You can find a list of stores here (link available only in the US): Timberland, Levi's, Starbucks Store, Buy.com and more.
More cost-effective for sellers
How much merchants have to pay to Google?
If they are AdWords advertisers, for every $1 spent, they can process $10 in sales for free through Google Checkout. If advertisers exceed their free transaction processing for the month, they'll only be charged 2% plus $.20 per transaction.
If they don't advertise with AdWords, they'll pay 2% plus $.20 per transaction.
How difficult is to integrate Google Checkout into a site?
You can use a simple "Buy Now" button if you don't need a shopping cart or you can try Google Checkout API to integrate Google Checkout into your shopping cart.
Does Google Checkout allows customers' feedback?
After receiving a product, buyers can rate it from one star to five stars and make comments to describe the transaction, purchasing and delivery process.
I don't have a site. Can I sell products using Google Checkout?
You can sell your products on Google Base. It's really easy to use and your products can come up on top of the search results (in Google OneBox results).
Google Checkout is not a PayPal competitor, it's just the perfect complement for AdWords. Advertisers can now outsource transaction processing, pay for sells instead of clicks and give more information about shopping preferences to Google.
Google Checkout Screenshots
More answered questions.
Can anyone from the US confirm the system actually works?
