New York — Nearly 10 years ago, my mother was robbed in front of our home after getting off her second-shift job.
The hooded mugger stole my mother's purse by knocking her down and wrestling her purse from her shoulder. She injured her wrist and suffered a few scrapes and bruises. The attack shook her up. I was inside watching television with my father when the incident occurred. We didn't hear or see a thing, but that didn't stop us from driving around the neighborhood looking for anyone suspicious.
A week after the incident, I legally purchased my first gun. It was an impulse buy, but it was a decision I made to keep my family safe.
I was raised around guns. On my grandparents' farm, they kept a loaded rifle on the front porch and another one in the living room behind their black and white television. For them, a rifle was not used solely for protection. Guns were used mainly for hunting and, if necessary, for protection.
Nearly half of today's American gun owners report that their main reason for having a gun is protection. Fewer than one-third own a gun for hunting. This is remarkably different from the late 1990s when nearly half of gun owners kept guns mainly for hunting. In 1999, only one-quarter cited protection as their most important reason, according to the Pew Research Center.
Last week, I attended several round-table discussions at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City called "Under the Gun: Gun Violence, Gun Laws and the Media." Journalists from all over the country heard from leading experts on gun violence from public health and economic standpoints.
When I told the group that I kept a gun for home protection, I felt as though I had to defend myself. I had a lively debate with Eric W. Fleegler, a physician at Boston Children's Hospital and assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School.
He said studies suggested that I would be much safer if I didn't own a gun in a home invasion than if I did own a gun. I didn't believe him, so we went through a series of exercises.
In the first scenario: A burglar breaks in, and an armed homeowner confronts an unarmed intruder. In the second scenario, both the homeowner and the intruder are armed and in the last scenario, an unarmed homeowner confronts an armed burglar.
Assuming that you can get to your weapon in time, confronting an unarmed burglar can end several ways, with the best scenario being that the homeowner scares off the would-be thief. The worst-case scenario — and most likely, according to research — is that the gun is used against the owner.
I told Fleegler that it was unlikely that my gun would be taken away from me.
"Statistics bear out that there is a 50% chance that the gun is taken over," Fleegler said. "And what do you think will happen after the bad guy gets the gun away from you?"
I told him there's a good chance that my gun would be used against me.
In a different scenario, I told him that I would shoot as soon as I saw the intruder.
He surprised me with his answer.
"If your goal is to make sure that the intruder is dead and you're not dead, then you would have to fire at the moment that person is in your vision," he said.
Sounds reasonable, but shooting someone creates another set of variables.
"Here's the issue. You never killed anyone before, and you don't know if that burglar is the kid down the street or a street person who is just hungry. You made a decision to kill, and we have seen how this has played out in different cases across the country," he said.
Arthur Kellerman, founder of Emory University's Department of Emergency Medicine, who spent years as an emergency room doctor, told me that people who keep guns in the home are more likely to be victims of homicide than those who don't.
In a 1993 New England Journal of Medicine study, he pointed out that there is a better chance that the gun meant for protection will be used in domestic violence, suicide or to injure a child.
"Believe me when I tell you this. The victims are not the bad guys. It's usually someone that the owner of the gun cares about," he said. "My research showed that a gun owner was 43 times more likely to shoot and kill a family member than that he'd shoot and kill anybody else."
We know that too many young people accidentally get their hands on guns. Here's a sampling from the past two months:
■ On April, 30, a 5-year-old Kentucky boy killed his 2-year-old sister with a child-sized rifle he got for his birthday.
■ On April, 22, an 11-year-old Delaware boy shot his 7-year-old brother with a 9 mm handgun they found in a home.
■ In March, a 12-year-old Florida boy shot and killed his 16-year-old brother in their home. That shooting came a week after a 4-year-old Orlando boy shot himself in the face in a condominium where he lived.
It would be easy to cite negligence on the gun owner's part for not locking these weapons up. But I still remember what I was told when I purchased my first gun. The seller advised me to keep the gun loaded and in a place I could easily retrieve it if needed.
At the National Rifle Association's annual meeting this month, firearm instructor Rob Pincus argued that a child's bedroom could be the best place to keep a gun. He argued that a parent's natural reaction would be to run to their child's bedroom during a home invasion.
"If I'm going to go to the kid anyway, and I have an extra gun and an extra safe," Pincus said, "why not put it in their closet?"
What a ridiculous idea.
But while I won't be getting rid of my guns, I will take more precautions with storing them. The scenarios presented to me added another layer of complexity to the hot-button issue of gun rights vs. responsible ownership. What would happen if I am placed in a fight-or-flight situation?
The only way to win is if no one gets hurt.

Boron removal and recovery from concentrated wastewater using a microwave hydrothermal method.
Summary of "Boron removal and recovery from concentrated wastewater using a microwave hydrothermal method."
Boron compounds are widely-used raw materials in industries. However, elevated boron concentrations in aqueous systems may be harmful to human and plants. In this study, calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)(2)) alone and Ca(OH)(2) with phosphoric acid (H(3)PO(4)) addition (P-addition) were used to remove and recover boron from wastewater using hydrothermal methods. A microwave (MW) hydrothermal method was used and compared with the conventional heating (CH) method in batch experiments. Physicochemical properties of the precipitates obtained from both methods were analysed by XRD, SEM with EDX and BET. For the case of Ca(OH)(2) alone and the MW method, experimental results showed that boron recovery efficiency reached 90% within 10min, and crystals of Ca(2)B(2)O(5)·H(2)O were found in the precipitates as indicated by the XRD analysis. For the case of P-addition and the MW method, boron recovery efficiency reached 99% within 10min, and calcium phosphate species (CaHPO(4)·H(2)O, CaHPO(4) and Ca(10)(PO(4))(6)(OH)(2)) were formed. The experimental results of this study indicate that the required reaction time of the MW method was much less than that of the CH method, and the MW method is an effective and efficient method for boron removal and recovery from concentrated wastewater.

Hi everybody, thanks for joing me in chat today. Let's get strated!
James (Rochester, NY)
Do you feel excited or nervous about this weekend?
Will Power (4:02 PM)
A little bit of everything. Sometimes when I think about it I get a bit nervous but I try to keep that to a minimum.
Roy (Savannah GA)
Which one circuit in the world do you wish Indycar could add to it's schedule?
Will Power (4:04 PM)
Surfer's Paradise in Australia.
Andrew (Syracuse, NY)
Will winning the championship be the only way for you to say you've had a "successful" season at this point?
Will Power (4:06 PM)
No, not necessarily. It would top off what I would call a fantastic season. I would be disappointed if I didn't win but all in all I had a fantastic year.
Brad (Gadsden,Alabama)
Will, Who is your favorite college football team?
Will Power (4:07 PM)
I like Purdue, the Mrs. went there.
Andrew H. (New York)
How much do you attribute your improved oval performance to improved equipment and team versus more oval experience?
Will Power (4:08 PM)
Actually, I think are about an even amount. I think having the total package, feeling comfortable within a team and have the best equipment add to the success of a team.
David (Milwaukee)
I heard that you and Mark Webber are friends. How do you know him and has he said anything to you about your championship run?
Will Power (4:09 PM)
I know Mark from when I was living in England and racing in Europe. During the season we text back and forth with each other.
Elsa (new mexico)
Will, good luck! How much can your teammates help you this race?
Will Power (4:10 PM)
Thank you. I think depending on my situation, my teammate can have a part in me winning the championship but at the end of the day I have to drive the car by myself.
Andrew H. (New York)
Why are you so much better at road racing than everyone else? Left-foot braking? Braver? Smarter?
Will Power (4:11 PM)
It's a whole combination of things. You have to get all the little details right and in road racing those details add up.
Kaleb (Indianapolis, IN)
Do you think the IndyCar series will ever race on the road course at IMS?
Will Power (4:12 PM)
I don't think so because it's not their tradition at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Chas C. (New York)
Can you quickly go over your training regimen? Or is that proprietary info?
Will Power (4:14 PM)
I swim maybe a 1 1/2 miles, I cycle 45 miles and do weights and conditioning. I try to keep it interesting.
Anton (wisconsin)
After the season, are you going to Australia and race the V8 supercars like Dixon and Dario?
Will Power (4:14 PM)
Yes I am.
Chris (Indianapolis, IN)
What are your plans for 2011? And please beat Dario for the championship!
Will Power (4:15 PM)
I'll do my best! My plans for 2011 are to drive for Verizon Team Pepsi and do the same as this year.
Hayley (oklahoma)
Since there will be more road courses next year, do you enjoy the road or street courses more?
Will Power (4:16 PM)
It depends on what road or street course it is. Both are fun to me.
David (Milwaukee)
What was the biggest adjustment for you going from the Champ car to the Indy Car?

Not sure what it is about the Toronto Raptors, but when players go there, they go there to die. Nothing good comes out of that place. They really need to move that squad back to the USA. Check out this weird ejection of power forward Amir Johnson last night. The Raptors were taking on the Portland Trail Blazers and J.J. Hickson was on the free throw line. After his first free throw Amir Johnson decided to wrestle the ball away from the referee David Jones after he already had it in his hands. Crazy right??? Not as crazy as throwing your mouth piece at him before you walk off the court. Must be something in the water down there in Toronto. Check out the video of the ejection below. This is what Johnson had to say after the game. SI "I think it was just real childish," Johnson said. "It was something that didn't need to happen. I lost my cool. I apologize on that part. I've never been kicked out of a game before or been teed up like that." Well, sadly for you David Stern isn't very childish with his fines, expect a Big Boy fine for Mr. Johnson.

Local house cat, Moose, recently revealed that he would "totally vote for Gary Johnson if I were able."
Born free to a barn cat on County Road 102 between LaCucaracha and Sintown, Moose was "rescued" (quotes Moose's) shortly after the farmland's owner passed away and the barn and other structures on the property were abandoned. Separated from his siblings and mother, Moose was sent to live with the Karnazes family under what he terms a "socialist regime."
"Listen," said Moose, "I'm not complaining about the freely provided food and healthcare, but I miss my old life of hunting mice and small birds – sometimes just for the sport of it. These people tell me when and what to eat, where to drop a deuce and when and where I can go outside – all under the guise of 'what's good for me.'"
Unable to articulate exactly what he was trying to say, Moose paraphrased an old Suicidal Tendencies song he once heard on the Karnazes' stereo: "How can they say what's in my best interest?"
Personal liberty is why Moose feels that Gary Johnson is the man for the White House. He feels that Obama will try to have too much sway with his life, but he also thinks Romney only speaks for the "cats that eat Fancy Feast and have hedge fund managers – whatever the hell that is – for owners."
Johnson, on the other hand, offers what appeals most to Moose: freedom. Under Johnson, Moose believes he will be able to go outside whenever he wants, eat what he wants, defecate where he wants and sleep when he wants. "With Johnson," continued Moose, "I don't have to worry about being crated up and sent to some Middle Eastern country to hunt desert rats, where the local cats don't want me around anyway. Plus, he'll end the war on drugs so if I want to get high by slurping discarded NyQuil, no problem."
Moose also gets the sense that Johnson will not be susceptible to special interest groups like the ones his owners are clearly beholden to based on the special treatment his co-habitant, Rex, a rat terrier mix, receives. "The dog," said Moose, "clearly has good lobbyists on his side. I wouldn't be surprised if the dogs weren't behind one of these super PACs."
Moose also pointed out that Rex and his dog "buddies" are "total conformists." "They put a leash on him, he's happy," said Moose. "He's always ecstatic to go for a ride in the car even though it may be a trip to the vet or he might just end up dumped on a country road. He totally buys into whatever our owners say. If they complain about the price of dog food, he blames the sitting President – never mind that the ingredients are a commodity. You ever try explaining the commodities market to a dog?" Moose answered his own question with a face paw.
"I know some will be against me and my ilk having total freedom to hunt and kill like I like to do," stated Moose. "The Audubon Society, for example. To them I say: birds can fly. If a creature that has the advantage of flight gets caught by the likes of me, tough titties. Every time I catch one, I always think, 'stupid bird.'"
Moose acknowledges it's all moot though, as he won't be able to vote due to strict voter ID laws.

St Andrews Old Course
Six Centuries of GolfGolf has been played on the Links at St Andrews since around 1400 AD and the Old Course is renowned throughout the world as the Home of Golf. The game grew in popularity and by the 19th century it was part of the way of life for many local people, whether as players, caddies, ball makers or club makers. Golf still plays a major part in the culture and economy of St Andrews today. As the 600 year history of the Links has unfolded, one simple track hacked through the bushes and heather has developed into six public golf courses, attracting hundreds of thousands of golfing pilgrims from around the globe. St Andrews Links is the largest golfing complex in Europe and all 18 hole courses can be booked in advance. The Castle Course, the seventh course at the Home of Golf, is situated on clifftops overlooking St Andrews to the east of the town.

A hotel that showed me just how used to modern facilities I had become used to. They actively describe their hotel as having no lift but when you have no choice in rooms in a city you pays your money...
The Hotel was clean and the staff warm and friendly, there is an attached spay and gym that you can use if you stay there. I was travelling for work, had a large case disguising I was travelling with half a dozen laptops and had to negotiate the stairs up to the third floor - not ideal. On entering the room there was a wall mounted TV, a desk with drinks making facilities and a mirror behind it but obviously this was meant purely for applying makeup on as there were no power sockets. The room however was absolutely boiling, thank goodness there was aircon - which unfortunately had to be on for an hour before the room was habitable.
The redeeming feature (for me anyway) of the hotel was the food, which was lovely. decent sized portions and good quality rarely go together but they do here. The bar area was quiet and had news on in it. The breakfast the next day was equally as good as the dinner if not better. less
The welcome at reception was friendly with some friendly banter. My room was a deluxe and a good size, clean and tidy. downside was it only had a small basic shower cubicle with a curtain. The pool was pleasant and with a welcoming lady at the leisure area reception with clean and tidy changing facilities . There was also a gym and sauna available.
Restaurant food was adequate, nothing special, however it appeared popular with locals. On reflection yes I would stay again.
This wonderful hotel is a hidden Gem right in the heart of Broughty Ferry. Great place to stay with family and friends, very close to lots of amenities, yet you feel you are in the middle of the country. I will definitely stay there again. less
We stayed here in April as part of our wedding package was Dinner, Bed & Breakfast on our 1st Anniversary. It was nice to just chill out and enjoy the hotel, as we didnt get to do much of that on the wedding day!
Staff at reception and in the restaurant were all lovely and very friendly, our meal was fantastic...generous portions and tasted so good. I had smoked salmon, then haddock and chips, followed by mango cheesecake (would definitly recommend). After we let our tea settle, we went down to the pool and had a few laps and used the jaccuzi, it was nice and quiet as we went later on, so was ideal. Bedroom was fine, bed was comfy and breakfast was just as good as dinner.
Would definitly go back, think we might make it a yearly thing for our anniversary. xx less
Have stayed here a few times now and really enjoy our stay. We treated out 2 grandchildren to an overnight stay and we stayed in "The Wyldes" executive room which was really really nice. The kids loved the indoor pool and their meal at night. The staff are really nice and helpful.
Will be back for sure. less

Freeport Art Museum in search of friendly, enthusiastic art guides
Staff Report
FREEPORT, Ill. — Freeport Art Museum (FAM) is looking for enthusiastic, friendly people ages 18 years and older to help expand its tour program. If you are eager to learn and share knowledge with groups of children, teens and/or adults, sign up to be an art guide at the FAM. No experience necessary; information and training will be provided.
Art guides serve as important members of the museum's team; they are on the front lines, sharing knowledge about the museum's permanent collection to student and adult tour groups.
Art guides are required to attend one training session per month to become familiar with the museum's collection and to learn how to give the three most popular tours: Native American Illinois, Experience Egypt and Continents and Cultures.
Since most tours are taken by students, art guides must be available to give tours during school hours. Last year, the FAM hosted approximately 900 students for a tour and hands-on art making experience.
Art guides receive free membership to the museum and enjoy special privileges such as access to behind-the-scenes art tours and museum programs. To sign up or for more information, contact the Education Department at (815) 235-9755 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
FAM is at 121 N. Harlem Ave., Freeport, and is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Tuesday-Friday, and noon-5 p.m., Saturday. Admission to the museum is free, although donations are accepted.
From the Dec. 28, 2011-Jan. 3, 2012, issue

|Tall fescue seed production alley cropped in a hardwood tree plantation
|Settle, Thomas A. (Thomas Arthur)
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Alley cropping is an agroforestry practice that utilizes the space between rows of trees to produce an alternate crop. Tall fescue demonstrates shade tolerance and may be well suited for the production of certified seed in alley-cropping systems in Missouri. The objective was to evaluate tall fescue seed production in alley cropping. Three management practices associated with grass seed production were also evaluated; row spacing, N fertilization, and post-harvest residue management. In 2004 seed yields in the alley-cropped plots were similar to the open plots; in 2005, all plots had reduced yield and the alley-cropped plots yielded significantly less than the open plots. We attribute the decrease of the second year harvest to poor soil moisture and increased competition from trees. Seed yield was closely related to the number of reproductive culms m-1 of row; however, there were no differences among treatments for seed weight and seeds culm-1. This research shows that tall fescue seed yield in an alley-cropping system can be equal to yields from pasture until competition for resources from trees has a negative influence on the crop. A producer who is interested in establishing an orchard should find that certified turf-type tall fescue is a viable crop for an alley-cropping system.

Paris Hilton For President - T-Shirt
3 Recommendations
lillianb's recommendation
Paris Hilton is a testament to the power of marketing. And for that I'm impressed. Now personally, I think I want a candidate with a little bit more experience than her, but the shirt is pure hilarious gold. Bright pink and black it's oh so Paris! Or maybe it's just hot.
JustEliana's recommendation
Paris made a great response to McCain's ad that compared Obama to her celebrity status. After that, this shirt became very popular.

Vietnam model of cultivating it as mono-crop mooted
Auction of black pepper grown in Visakhapatnam and East Godavari by the AP Forest Development Corporation has fetched Rs.2.66 crore.
High in demand all over the world, particularly in Western and European countries, black pepper is known as an important ingredient to enhance the taste quotient of several delicacies — be it vegetarian or non-vegetarian. It is also recognised for its medicinal value in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, diarrhoea, and respiratory ailments.
During the auctions conducted at a function hall in MVP Colony here on Friday in the presence of APFDC Vice-Chairman-cum-Managing Director Rajesh Mittal, the response from the bidders was very good.
"Auction of 36.24 tonne brought us revenue of Rs.2.66 crore this time, the highest ever so far," APFDC General Manager A.N. Gurumurthy told The Hindu on Saturday. During last year, the corporation earned Rs.47.33 lakh by auctioning 15.36 tonne.
Pepper is grown at high altitude in several parts of Visakhapatnam and East Godavari districts as an inter-crop in coffee plantations. Tribal people involved in coffee plantations by the Coffee Board also produce pepper.
Pepper plants are creepers hanging from silver oak and other shade-giving trees in the coffee plantations of Anantagiri, Araku, and other valleys of the Eastern Ghats. They also attract several people interested in ecotourism.
While the APFDC is growing pepper in coffee plantations raised in 10,000 acres, the Coffee Board produces pepper as inter-crop in coffee taken up in 55,000 hectare. The APFDC and the Coffee Board have been getting awards at the highest level for raising fine flavour coffee, bringing international recognition to locally produced coffee.
Experts say that pepper potential in the lush-green jungles of the Eastern Ghats could be explored better by raising coffee in more area and promoting pepper under the shade of coffee plants.
Some moot that pepper production could be raised by following the Vietnam model of cultivating it as a mono-crop in large stretches of high-altitude hilly terrains by planting it on wooden poles or concrete pillars without disturbing the eco-system. Vietnam is one of the leading pepper exporters.

Bruins and Devils scoreless after one
|10.16.10 at 7:40 pm ET
The Bruins and Devils both treaded water in the first period of what one would expect to be a low-shooting and low-scoring game. As such, the shots are 11-8 in favor of the Devils in a scoreless game.
The Devils were comically clumsy in the offensive zone, but that's not to say that they didn't have their chances. Tim Thomas twice had to make sprawling saves reminiscent of his Vezina days to keep it scoreless.
The Bruins took three penalties in the period, with Blake Wheeler (holding) and Brad Marchand (kneeing) penalties overlapping for a period-ending 5-on-3. Marchand was called for a questionable knee-on-knee hit on Dainius Zubrus. The Bruins went 0-for-1 on the power play, with a Tyler Seguin wrister off the glove of Martin Brodeur perhaps the closest they came to getting on the board.
David Krejci and Michael Ryder had two goals apiece in the first period, with Andrew Ference batting at a floating rebound from a Krejci shot and unable to make solid contact.

VIDEO: Protesters interrupt Postmaster General Donahoe's speech
Monday - 11/21/2011, 2:58pm EST
This story has been updated from its original version.
By Jolie Lee
Federal News Radio
Protesters interrupted a speech by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe at the National Press Club on Monday.
Donahoe stood at the podium as protesters entered the room. When the protesters left, Donahoe said, "The good news is they've definitely been paying attention to the situation."
The Postal Service has lost $5.1 billion in the past year, despite cuts of more than 130,000 jobs in recent years and the closing of some smaller local post offices. The USPS is closer to default on a multibillion-dollar payment and to future bankruptcy as the weak economy and increased Internet use drive down mail volume.
In his address to the Press Club, Donahoe said if Congress gives USPS everything it needs, the Postal Service would be out of red by end of 2013.
Donahoe also called for five-day deliveries a week, with the elimination of Saturday delivery.
The postmaster general's speech came a day after the Postal Service and two unions agreed to extend negotiations for collective bargaining agreements until Dec. 7. He told the Press Club crowd that issues with health care and labor flexibility are still unresolved. If there is no union agreement, USPS will "go to arbitration," he said.
Prior to the Press Club event, protesters marched outside of the building, shouting, "Hey ho! Donahoe has got to go!" and carrying signs that said, "Save America's Postal Service."
Federal News Radio's Amy Morris helped organize the National Press Club event. Federal News Radio will have more details of Donahoe's address.
