Stocks for those who fear heights
If the market's strong first quarter has you worried that investors are too bullish, try switching to defensive plays.
Ever since the 2008 market collapse and financial crisis, many investors have been suffering from a fear of heights.
Whenever the market goes on a nice upward run, they get fearful -- very fearful -- with the still-fresh scars of the '08 crash leading them to think that what goes up will certainly come down. That's what seems to be happening right now. With the market having a very strong first quarter, fears have arisen that things are too good, and sentiment is overly bullish.
I for one don't think it has. Valuations remain reasonable, and the gains in the market have been accompanied by some very real, significant improvements in the economy. New claims for unemployment have continued to fall lower and lower over the past three months, as have continuing claims. The manufacturing and service sectors have both continued to expand during the quarter, retail sales continue to grow, and the S&P 500 still trades for about 14.6 times trailing 12-month operating earnings and 16.2 times trailing 12-month as-reported earnings.
With that in mind, I recently used my Guru Strategies -- each of which is based on the approach of a different investing great -- to look for some fundamentally strong stocks in more defensive sectors of the market. I found a number of intriguing plays; below are some the best of the bunch. These are the sort of stocks that should allow you to stay in the market, without staying up all night worrying about your portfolio.
Xcel Energy Inc. (XEL): Utilities are traditionally a very defensive sector, and my James O'Shaughnessy-inspired growth model is finding a lot to like about this Minnesota electric and natural gas utility, which has operations in eight Western and Midwestern states. The O'Shaughnessy growth approach looks for companies that have upped earnings per share in each year of the past half-decade, which Xcel ($13 billion market cap) has done, and which have a key combination of variables: a high 12-month relative strength, which is a sign that the market is embracing the stock, and a low price-to-sales ratio, which is a sign it hasn't gotten too pricey. Xcel has a very reasonable 1.2 price-to-sales ratio, and a solid relative strength of 74, so it makes the grade.
Molson Coors Brewing Company (TAP): This Denver brewer makes some of the world's most popular beers, including Coors Light, Heineken, Amstel, Molson, and Carling. The $8.1-billion-market-cap firm is a favorite of my Peter Lynch-inspired strategy, which considers it a "stalwart" -- the type of big, steady company Lynch found offered protection in tough times. (And, let's face it, when times get tough, people still find a way to buy beer.)
Lynch famously used the price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio to find growth stocks selling on the cheap, and for stalwarts he added dividend yield to the growth portion of the equation. When we divide Molson's 12.4 price-to-earnings ratio by the sum of its 12.3% long-term growth rate (I use an average of the three-, four-, and five-year earnings per share (EPS) growth rates to determine a long-term rate) and dividend yield (2.8%), we get a yield-adjusted PEG of 0.82. That comes in comfortably below this model's 1.0 upper limit, sign that it's a bargain.
Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (AAP): An auto parts business like Virginia's Advance ($6.4 billion market cap) can help you play defense because when times get tough, people are more likely to fix up their existing cars than buy new ones. And Advance did well during the Great Recession, upping EPS in both 2008 and 2009 -- in fact, it has increased earnings in every year of the past decade. It's a favorite of my Lynch-based model, which likes the firm's 22.6% long-term growth rate and 0.76 PEG ratio. My O'Shaughnessy growth model also likes Advance's history of persistent earnings growth, as well as its combination of a 1.04 price-to-sales ratio and 90 relative strength.
The TJX Companies (TJX): The parent of discount retailers T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, the Massachusetts retailer ($30 billion market cap) fared very well during the Great Recession as consumers flocked toward bargains. It's continued to do well during the recovery, and has upped EPS in each year of the past decade, part of the reason my Warren Buffett-based model is high on it. A couple more reasons: The firm has enough annual earnings that it could, if need be, pay off all its debts in less than a year, and it has averaged a 37.7% return on equity over the past decade.
TJX also gets strong interest from my Lynch-based model, which likes its 21.5% long-term growth rate and 0.94 PEG, and my O'Shaughnessy-based growth approach, which likes the stock's combination of a 1.28 price-to-sales ratio and 94 relative strength.
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ): The diversified healthcare giant had a rough fourth quarter, barely eking out a profit amid the fallout from several product recalls. But it still upped revenues for the period -- and it has a lengthy history of success and still boasts a number of strong brand names. Healthcare firms often provide defensive protection to a portfolio, and my O'Shaughnessy-based value model thinks JNJ is a good bet. It looks for large firms with strong cash flows and solid dividend yields, and JNJ fits the bill. It has a $180 billion market cap and more than $65 billion in trailing 12-month sales; $4.66 in cash flow per share, more than three times the market average; and a solid 3.5% dividend yield.
I'm long TJX and AAP.

Portable disk cleaner plus
FCleaner Portable is a fully portable version of FTweak's FCleaner. We looked at FCleaner a while back and found it to be an above-average freeware disk and Registry-cleaning and -optimizing tool. FCleaner is essentially the same program, but with the added advantage of total portability: it requires no installation, so it can be run from a USB drive or similar device on any compatible Windows PC.
FCleaner Portable quickly proved as capable at cleaning out our system's junk as the installed version, so we decided to take a look at the program's other tools, such as the … Read more

Summary: Winter 1963: two children have disappeared off the streets of Manchester; the murderous careers of Myra Hindley and Ian Brady have begun. On a freezlng day in December, another child goes missing: thirteen-year-old Alison Carter vanishes from her town, an insular community that distrusts the outside world. For the young George Bennett, a newly promoted inspector, it is the beginning of his most difficult and harrowing case: a murder with no body, an investigation with more dead ends and closed faces than he'd have found in the anonymity of the inner city, and an outcome which reverberates through the years. Decades later he finally tells his story to journalist Catherine Heathcote, but just when the book is poised for publication, Bennett unaccountably tries to pull the plug. He has new information which he refuses to divulge, new information that threatens the very foundations of his existence. Catherine is forced to re-investigate the past, with results that turn the world upside down. A Greek tragedy in modern England, A Place of Execution is a taut psychological thriller that explores, exposes and explodes the border between reality and illusion in a multi-layered narrative that turns expectations on their head and reminds us that what we know is what we do not know.

The gun auction: NH's police chiefs keep their cool
Last fall the chiefs planned a raffle for this coming May. The items raffled away would be guns - 31 in total, one for each day of the month. Tickets for the Month of NH Made Firearms raffle sold out immediately. Then Adam Lanza opened fire on kindergarteners, and suddenly the raffle was drawing nationwide attention, much of it negative.
In the weeks since, the chiefs could have cancelled the raffle and refunded the money. To their credit, they did not. Earlier this month, Salem Police Chief Paul Donovan, president of the chiefs association, issued the following statement:
"While this raffle falls on the heels of the recent tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police extends their deepest sympathies to the families and first responders. New Hampshire Chiefs of Police feel the issues with these tragic shootings are ones that are contrary to lawful and responsible gun ownership. We believe in and support the Second Amendment, and encourage education in the area of firearms safety."
The chiefs understand what their critics do not: that there is a huge difference between responsible and irresponsible gun ownership, and that the problems caused by irresponsible gun owners and users do not justify ending the dissemination of firearms among responsible citizens. Would that everyone kept such cool heads during times of great emotional distress.

One of the biggest questions leading up to Monday night's game at FedEx Field is how the Redskins' defense will contend with an Eagles' offense it's never seen in a regular season game.
Over the past four months, we've kept a watchful eye on the teams who appear on the Redskins' 2013 schedule.
Almost two weeks into free agency, the Redskins haven't managed to accomplish much because of the crippling, $18 million NFL-imposed salary cap penalty.

In the city of Boston, there are several options for food and plenty of good restaurants at which to dine. The area surrounding Northeastern can be a little pricey, but it is possible to get a good meal for a cheap price. The most popular off-campus eateries around Northeastern are BHOP (Boston House of Pizza) and Cappy's. At both locations, you can find all kinds of subs, calzones, salads, and, of course, great pizza. Cappy's is known for its enormous slices of pizza that are especially great after a night out. Au Bon Pain is located in the Marino Center, and Qdoba is right across the street.
One of the busiest off-campus eateries is Espresso Royale, which has all your breakfast needs and one-of-a-kind gourmet sandwiches. Panera Bread just recently opened up across the street and has become a very popular place to grab lunch. There are also great restaurants located down by the Prudential Center, on Boylston Street, and even along Huntington Avenue. Whatever your preference, you shouldn't have trouble finding good food around Northeastern. If you want to venture farther away from campus, you could always head to Chinatown for some cheap dim sum or head to the North End for incredible pastries and Italian favorites.

But the number of enrollees, especially those between 18 and 34, continues to lag expectations.
(Story) Mar 11
According to a Gallup survey released Monday, the health law appears to be achieving its central goal -- reducing the number of Americans without insurance. But NBC News reports that Latinos continue to be more likely to be uninsured than white or black Americans.
(Daily Report) Mar 11
Drivers are targeted because few have health coverage.
(Story) Mar 10
News outlets report on implementation issues including the declining rate of uninsured people, confusion created by recent administrative changes and a union's assertion that the law will increase inequality.
(Daily Report) Mar 10
But some signals point to a pattern that may be emerging that suggests more uninsured people have been looking for information about plan options or seeking to buy insurance through the online marketplaces in these final weeks of open enrollment.
(Daily Report) Mar 07
News outlets report on developments regarding health exchanges in Maryland, Delaware and Oregon.
The president appeared at a town-hall-style event Thursday, hosted by Spanish-language media outlets, to urge Latinos to sign up for insurance options made available by the health law before open enrollment ends March 31.
The Government Accountability Office, an investigative arm of Congress, will look at what went wrong with several state exchanges, including Oregon's, which failed to deliver despite large infusions of federal money. Meanwhile, a state lawmaker has sued California for refusing to allow consumers with canceled health policies to keep them, and Florida has a high rate of uninsured Latinos.
(Daily Report) Mar 06
Some consumers will also get more time to keep plans that don't meet all the law's requirements.

Improving Awakenings.
So i have spent alot of time playing generations. Although in the beginning i would lose in like 10 seconds (i didnt know anything about chakra air dashing ninja moving or even combo cancelling) so in that i would often resort to my awakening.
The thing is most awakenings are simply a waste of your time in two ways gameplay wise and just awesomeness factor(just made that up) So lets look at the first one gameplay. Your are able to awaken when your health is around 50%. But when you do what do you actually get. In most cases simply more powerfull moves. In other cases near unavoidable jutsu etc things that turn the tide. But lets also take a look at what is taken from you: 1 Supports: I dont mind awakenings not having supports it makes the games more balanced and it weird be weird to see 4 tailed naruto running around with sakura helping him. But what do we get to slightly compensate in terms of options the answer is : Nothing. 2 Combos: In most generic awakenings you keep your moveset so in those cases there isnt any problem. This changes when you look at actually moveset changing awakenings. Go check your movelist when youre not awakened and in most cases you will see 4 ground combos(4 directions) and 1 air combos. Now awaken and look again. Suddenly your moveset is A.l.o.t smaller. You probably see that you are now reduced to 1 ground combo and 1 air combo. Why did they feel this need to restrict your options? What is there wrong with awakenings atleast having more then 1 combo option. Combo-wise you will be just playing as a cool looking shell of your former self. 3 Throws: Why did they feel the need to take these away. They usually replace it with some unblockable attack which is quite easy to avoid because it needs to be charged by holding down the throw buttons. Why do they slow down 'your throws' We are basicly stuck with a slow 1 hit 'combo'. 4 Ninja tools: They are not that important. I understand that the kyuubi would have trouble using ninja tools but why take it from awakenings which could easily use them?(like asuma) 5 Subs: This is only in the case with giant awakening such as 8 tails and susanoo. These awakening are very powerfull on the offense but once your opponent gets you in a combo your basicly doomed. Because for some weird reason you sub infront of your opponent and your awakening has slow attacks you will get combo cancelled to death( i ve done it many times) All these awakenings do is make you it bigger target with a dartboard stuck to your head saying ' Hit me'. 6 Ougis: Slightly understandable although i would prefer i they had ougis that do less damage and return you immediately to your normal state. Another option lost. They also could give them ougis with the damaged halved and that half the damage is redirected to the chakra bar or something. So you gain: Stat boosts, More powerfull jutsu(sometimes just a stat boost to your jutsu) You lose: 3 combos, your throw, 2 supports , Access to ninjatools , Subs (giants only), ougi(ultimate jutsu). As you see in most cases you will lose more then you gain. Making awakenings gameplay wise not viable. When i started playing better i also resorted less to awakening since it only makes you a one trick horse glass canon. Atleast try to compensate a little for this by giving you an extra option when awakened. Awesomeness Factor(yes it is a word ) : Sure you get the awesome awakening animations but what else? Nothing but a mere stat boost. But in the case of generic awakenings there is no eye candy except for the wierd chakra glow and the darkening of the stage (which they should take out of the game because on some stages it hard to see while awakened and this isnt dbz chakra rarely shows on the outside) Awakenings now: Instead of those two things which are totally out of place in a naruto game how about more visually pleasing moves. I understand that with generic awakenings u cant always make a whole new moveset that no problem. But i still want to see and feel like i am awakened. Take for example sakura she has an generic awakening where her moveset stays exactly the same only with some sound effects. They could simply keep the combos the same but only change the combo enders/cutscenes to fit with the awakened status . Combos: I dont know sakuras movelist but lets the she has an up combos which ends into uppercutting(brief cutscene close up whatever you call it) the oppenent to the other side of the stage. In her awakening her up combos would stay the same except instead of uppercutting them she punches them in their gut and throws him to the other side of the arena while saying something cool that would be in character. Or lets naruto ends a combo with a rasengan in awakenings he could finish it with oodama rasengan etc. Jutsu: This already makes the awakenings feel more unique even if they are generic. Lets proceed with sakura jutsu: cherry blossom crash she punches the ground the opponent flies up and debris/rocks appear from the breaking of the ground. They could simply give a different animation like would kick instead of punch. Or they increase the size and amount of rocks that appear so that the jutsu would appear more powerfull which would make you feel like your actually playing an powered up state of a character. Here some example of other jutsu that could use more "impact' in awakening Fire ball jutsu: in awakening could make the screen tremble slightly which would increase the closer it comes to you. Dynamic entry: instead of kicking them immediately away gai could first make a short 2-3 hit combo and then kick them away. Chidori: Increase the size of it a little and making it sounds louder so you hear the chirping birds its so famous for. Shinra Tensei: When he pushes people away you can also see dust and pieces of rock flying. Sand Tsunami: Make it taller/bigger let it have a longer trail (gaara would do sand tsunami but instead and the sand disappearing(moving) as it goes to your oppnent The tsunami would make a trail from gaara to the enemy which would disappear 2-3 seconds after the jutsu. Water dragon jutsu: Simply give it a bigger splash at the end make it rain for a second. Enton kagutu(sasukes thing): Have it simply still burning on the gound for 1-2 seconds. Makes ribcage susonoo appear for 1 second covered in amaterasu. Etc. Just adding little soundeffects and visuals that really make it stand out from the normal one. Amount of combos: On to non generic awakenings again on the combo thing. Why do they usually have only 1 combo. They only have one (often very short string) to impress you with awesome visuals but often its a big disappointment. Because only have 1 combo string matches with awakenings are quite boring because they can only do 1 thing. If they had more(impressive) and longer combos that actually would end in close ups/cutscenes (like their non awakened version) I would be alot more impressed by the awakenings maybe even use them more just to see them in action. Giant/ Large Awakenings: Giant awakenings in terms of visuals they do well but still they feel alot smaller then in the show making me feel like im playing again a shell of the character. They dont have to be as large as gamabunta in storm but give some sense of scale some sense that i am fighting (with) Something that is way larger then me. Make the giant awakenings about susanoos true size (How it is in the show) And change the camera angle like it does when you have 2 giant awakenings. Then you would actually feel giant. Ougi: In the old ultimate ninja series they would be the(my) main reason to awaken. My opponent would have like 5 % health but i would awaken just to hit them with that final overkilling ultimate jutsu. It gives you that wonderfull 'I Effin stomped/disintergrated your ass hahahahahaha' and makes you feel superior and cool and awesome. I really think that the awakenings having no ougi or cutscene attack in general just hurts them. It makes the game have alot less ougis for one. Some moves dont get any use. Awakenings/are often the same as the ougi. The return of the ougi or some similiar 'show-off' attack for awakenings would bring alot more variety to the game. This all helps making the awakenings fun to use, fun to see, and they would see alot more use. What do you guys think? Do you like the current awakenings Are there other games doing it better and how owuld you improve the awakenings?

Re: Improving Awakenings.
IMO they should have no awakenings, the ones that have an actual awakening (8 gates, CS2 Sasuke, KCM Naruto) That should be a permanent form, and the giant awakenings like Susano'o should work like they do now.

Re: Improving Awakenings.
I dont mean Improve them Damage Wise. Just Give Them More Options If i want to Smack someone to the side with a kyuubi combo i should be able to. If I want to do a fatality/ Ultra combo style beat down with my awakening i should be able to( I dont care if its only 1% damage) I just want the cool visuals. Awakenings are boring to play (against) because they only have one combo. Making it often look like spamming while they actually cant do much else(Kyuubi)

Re: Improving Awakenings.
Awkenings are good where theyre at right now. They helped us when fighting Susano'o THANKFULLY. Some could still be made more practical for situations when awakening swould be used but as of now its good.
Depending on who you use you could literally be losing like every match but boom awaken Naruto and by the time the awkening is done you got your guy in the orange.....That kinda bothers me |

Service to others is an important part of the Scout Oath: "... to help other people at all times."
That's why one of the requirements for an Eagle Scout is to plan, develop and give leadership to others through a service project that benefits the community.
Dustin Ownbey, a Delta High School senior, had earned the requisite number of merit badges and was ready to pursue Scouting's highest rank. He is also active in Young Life, and realized he could merge two of his interests into a project that would benefit Young Life while fulfilling the service requirement for the Eagle rank.
Young Life meetings are held weekly on Monday nights. They're a great place to interact with friends and start the week off right, Ownbey said. Young Life leaders are eager to share the love and forgiveness found in Jesus Christ, but they don't shove Christianity down anybody's throat.
When he pulled up to the Young Life house on 13th Street, Ownbey couldn't help but notice how haphazardly everyone parked. Students often got goatheads in their shoes walking to and from their cars, and backing out onto 13th Street was unsafe. The back yard of the house was nothing but dirt, and the chainlink fence just petered out. This was clearly a great opportunity to be of service.
The first step was organizing a yard sale and car wash to raise funds for materials. Scoutmaster Andy Grange, Boy Scout Troop 486, and Dustin's parents, Robert and Angela Ownbey, jumped in to help.
Over the next two summers, Dustin, his parents and fellow Scouts installed a sprinkler system, put down landscape fabric, planted grass seed, extended the chainlink fence, laid road base and moved in large boulders to delineate the parking area.
S&E Ward Landscaping provided labor and instuction for the irrigation system, and Scot Buhrdorf and TK Mining donated a tractor to move the gravel, also provided by TK Mining. Southwest Soils donated the boulders, ReclaMetals provided steel edging and England Fence donated fence materials.
Ownbey estimates the cost of the project at about $3,500, half of which was donated. Over 350 hours of labor was dedicated to the project, including 115 from Ownbey himself.
The project continues to evolve, he said. There are plans to improve the parking area by adding more road base. Maintenance is a "group effort."
Dustin joined Cub Scouts when he was a first grader and living in Dillon. After moving to Delta 12 years ago he got involved in Cub Scouts almost immediately. He became a Boy Scout after leaving elementary school and has been picking up merit badges ever since. One of his favorites is a wilderness survival badge earned at Scout Camp, for which he spent the night in an improvised shelter and got a fire going using three different methods other than matches. He also fulfilled several other requirements using the supplies one would normally carry in a backpack when they were setting out for a day hike.
Ownbey is a cross-country runner who hopes to continue running while pursuing a degree in engineering at Colorado School of Mines or Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, Calif.
"Dustin's Eagle Scout project did more than just beautify the Young Life house property, it made it more usable and inviting," said Young Life director Ty Gallenbeck. "In that way it provides us a better environment to reach out to the students of Delta County.
"As an Eagle Scout myself I understand the work and dedication it takes to pull something like this off. Dustin should be proud — he did an incredible job."

Pain And Martyrdom In The 'New Middle East': Hidden Meanings Of Impending Jihadist Terrorism
Latest update: January 10th, 2013
Revolutionary fervor still sweeping the Middle East is plainly ongoing and perilously "contagious." Above all, perhaps, these eruptions confirm that the so-called "Palestinian Problem" has never been more than a manipulated contrivance of corrupt Arab monarchies and dictatorships, and that Israel has had absolutely nothing to do with the region's core problems. Indeed, to the contrary, this fervor reveals that if the Arabs had simply embraced rather than demonized Israel from the start – a fully rational and deserved embrace that would have been enthusiastically welcomed by all Israelis – the Arab states would have benefited politically, intellectually, medically, scientifically and materially.
Drawing upon these important hidden meanings of current revolutionary fervor in the "new" Middle East and North Africa, the essence of any capable counter-terrorist policy must soon begin to lie in the following critical awareness: Jihadist violence is never rooted in any conveniently fashionable political or revolutionary ideology, but rather in remorselessly vengeful images of irresistible religious obligation.Jihadist terror, as I have written here previously, is always a distinctly sacred form of religious sacrifice. Once this elusive concept can be understood, we will finally be able to deal intelligently and purposefully with emerging hazards of the region.

The Virunga National Park (French: Parc National des Virunga), formerly named Albert National Park, is a 7,800-square-kilometre (3,000 sq mi) National Park that stretches from the Virunga Mountains in the South, to the Rwenzori Mountains in the North, in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, bordering Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda and Rwenzori Mountains National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda.
The park was established in 1925 as Africa's first national park and is a UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site since 1979. In recent years poaching and the Congo Civil War have seriously damaged its wildlife population. The park is managed by the Congolese National Park Authorities, the Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature (ICCN) and its partner the Africa Conservation Fund (UK).
The park was created in 1925 by King Albert I of Belgium as the first national park on the continent of Africa. It was founded primarily to protect the mountain gorillas[1] living in the forests of the Virunga Mountains controlled by the Belgian Congo, but later expanded north to include the Rwindi Plains, Lake Edward and the Rwenzori Mountains in the far north.
In the first 35 years, the boundary of the park took shape, poaching was kept to a minimum and sustainable tourism thrived due to the work of a large body of hand-picked Congolese rangers and dedicated wardens. Land remuneration and the use of park resources such as fishing and hunting by the local population became an on-going problem and attempts were made to solve these issues.
When the Belgians granted Congo independence in 1960 the new state deteriorated rapidly, and so did the park. It was only in 1969 when President Mobutu began to take a personal interest in conservation, that the park was revived. In the process of Mobutu's Africanization campaign, it was renamed Virunga National Park, and the first Congolese Wildlife Authority was established.
Virunga fared well for the better part of the 1970s. Foreign investment helped to improve the park's infrastructure and training facilities, and the park became a popular destination for tourists, receiving on average 6500 visitors a year. In 1979 UNESCO designated the park as a World Heritage Site.[citation needed]
In the mid-1980s the Mobutu regime began to lose its hold on power and the country began a long slide into chaos. The park suffered terribly. Poaching depleted Virunga's large mammal populations, infrastructure was destroyed, and many rangers were killed. The Congolese Wildlife Authority slowly lost control of Virunga and UNESCO changed the World Heritage Site status to "endangered."[citation needed]
Over the twenty-five years that followed, the park staff endured an almost uninterrupted series of trials that included a refugee crisis from the Rwandan Genocide that contributed to the severe destruction of park forests, and armed militia penetration throughout the park. The Kivu War centered exactly on the park, with rebel forces occupying the park headquarters and evicting the park's staff. By the end of 2008 it seemed as if Virunga was all but destroyed.[citation needed]
The political situation in the DRC has changed exponentially since then. The park is back in the hands of the ICCN and enjoying the greatest resurgence of tourism and development in its history. International donors are investing in the development of the park's infrastructure at unprecedented levels. Virunga's management is efficient and transparent, and morale among the rangers is at an all time high.[citation needed]
Tourism has increased from zero in 2008, to over 3000 in 2011, with numbers growing steadily. New tourist activities are being developed in the park, including the habituation of chimpanzees in the Tongo forest and a high-end lodge conveniently located near the center of the three main tourist attractions in the southern sector, north of Goma.[citation needed]
Africa's first national park has managed to preserve its species diversity and its population of mountain gorillas have more than doubled in numbers since the late 1980s largely because of the dedication of the rangers and staff, despite exceptionally difficult conditions. Over 140 of Virunga's rangers have lost their lives protecting the park since the beginning of the war in 1996.[citation needed]
In 2013 the World Wildlife Fund raised concerns about plans by the UK based Soco International to carry out exploration for oil in the park.[2] Currently more than 80% of Virunga National Park has been allocated as oil concessions.[3] Soco International's own environmental impact assessment reports admit that oil exploration is likely to cause pollution, irreparably damage habitats and bring poaching to the park. The World Wildlife Fund have launched a campaign to petition Soco to refrain exploring the world heritage area for oil, and thereby avoid these outcomes.
Virunga National Park is unrivaled in its diversity of landscapes and ecosystems.
The park is known for its exceptional (bio)diversity, containing more bird, mammal and reptile species than any protected area on the African continent. Although mountain gorillas are now extremely rare and listed as one of the most critically endangered species, successful conservation work has helped to secure the remaining populations. Their populations actually increased during the years of political upheaval in the region (1994–2004), and have continued to do so even throughout the difficult period of 2007-2008. The 2010 Mountain Gorilla census has indicated that the conservation efforts of Virunga have been very successful regarding the Gorilla population. Both savanna and forest elephants as well as chimpanzees and low land gorillas can still be found in Virunga, along with Okapi, giraffes, buffaloes and many endemic birds. The neighboring Mount Hoyo area was managed with the park and is home to a population of Bambuti Pygmy people, caves and waterfalls
Human conflict[edit]
Since the civil wars, the park has suffered somewhat. Land invasions and intense poaching have challenged the park authorities to the limit, but most rangers have remained active. Since 1994, about 140 rangers have been killed in the line of duty protecting the park from illegal poaching and land acquisition.[4] Amongst other military activity, the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) used the park as a safe location when they have come under sustained attack, such as Laurent Nkunda's offensives against them in April–May 2007.[5] The park was occupied by Nkunda's forces on 26 October 2008, during the Battle of Goma.[citation needed]
Current situation[edit]
However over the last three years[when?] the park has seen remarkable regeneration, with heavy investment in tourism development, social infrastructure as well as safety. Currently[when?] over 3000 tourists a year visit the southern sector of Virunga National Park to admire the gorillas as well as the lava lake of the Nyiragongo Volcano.the park has been[when?] closed until 20 July because of political insecurity. The Africa Conservation Fund (UK) signed a 10-year management agreement to manage the park in February 2011. The park currently[when?] receives most of its funding from the European Union.[citation needed] A Mai Mai militia attacked a park facility and killed two park rangers and a Congolese soldier in October 2012. Five of the Mai Mai militiamen died in the attack. Congolese Revolutionary Army (also known as M23) allegedly has a base camp inside the park.Virunga is currently under threat from UK oil company SOCO who want to undergo oil exploration within the park. [6]
The director of the park is Emmanuel de Mérode.

Tampa, Florida -- The request was a simple one.
For 10-year-old Hailey Nales, all she wanted was to share a bedroom with her two sisters. Hailey was moved out of the room she shared with her sisters in the girls dormitory at HOPE Children's Home in Tampa when three new girls moved into the home.
On Thursday, the sisters were reunited in a room of their own brand new house at HOPE Children's Home.
It's been named the Cottage of Hope and is the first of several cottages to be built so orphaned siblings can finally live under the same roof as a family.
"Whenever I came in, I thought my room was the best," beamed Hailey, who sat on her top bunk bed.
The room she shares with her sisters is pink, her little sister Samantha's favorite color and is decorated in a whimsical beach theme with brightly colored beds and bunk beds for four.
They even have their own bathroom and a walk-in closet full of new clothes that any girl would envy.
"It's just... I still think this is just a made up dream, that's what I think," said Hailey.
The Cottage of Hope was made possible with a generous donation from local businesses like K-Force, Inc. But, K-Force gave more than money, they gave time.
"They've been painting, they have been putting in hurricane straps, they have been cleaning. Our people love it. It's a labor of love for them," said David Dunkel, CEO of K-Force Inc.
The cottage is more than a place to stay for the kids who ended up at HOPE Children's Home for reasons beyond their control, it's a home with family.
"It's amazing to see, because it gives them a wonderful experience that's as close to being a family as you can possibly have with the love of their siblings around and the house parent. It's just fantastic," said Dunkel.
While Dunkel is proud of the commitment his company and employees have made to make the Cottage of Hope go from a dream to a dream come true, he credits his long time Vice President of Talent Management, Strategy and Operations with reeling them into this wonderful cause.
That man is Ray Morganti.
"Everybody has something to give... you just have to figure out what it is. It's not always money. It's time, talent, and treasure," said Morganti.
He says he first got involved with HOPE Children's Home 10 years ago when K-Force donated computers to replace computers that had been stolen from the home.
From then on, he's been hooked and reeled in the rest of the company to turn 20 acres of weeds and trees into a real home for children.
"I'm really happy for the kids, but we still have six cottages to build," smiled Morganti.
K-Force is working with HOPE Children's Home to complete a second cottage, but like Morganti said, they still have more to build.
HOPE Children's Home is able to do it because of companies like K-Force and donors like Karen and Bill Sanders, President of the company.
HOPE cares for 70 abused, abandoned and orphaned children with no financial help from the government. It is supported by the community.

And, here's something else pretty cool about the Cottage of HOPE. It's the first privately funded LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified children's cottage in the world.
But, for 10-year-old Hailey, it's a sanctuary, her home.
"I will probably still be awake by 12," smiled Nales, excited about her first night in her new bedroom.

GW exceeds the legal limit with this roundup of the 50 fastest masters of the fretboard.
"For a while, it was pretty uncool to be me," Jake E. Lee admits, speaking to Guitar World from a Las Vegas recording studio late one December evening.
Despite the diversity of George Harrison's many pursuits during his 58 years on earth — racing, gardening, Indian religion and culture, film making and anything remotely associated with ukeleles, Mel Brooks or Monty Python — he'll go down in history as one fourth of the Beatles.
James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo and Lars Ulrich — these are the men of Metallica. For 30 years, they have been the reigning kings of the heavy metal world, and deservedly so.
We've all heard of a guitar with a bone nut, but how about a guitar made by a bone nut? That nut would be New Zealand–based artist Bruce Mahalski, who is known for his incredible animal illustrations as well as his haunting gun replica sculptures made from bones of various creatures.
I don't really separate things. I love music and I love aesthetic art as well. I feel like there's a thread between visual art and music. Sometimes a designer can give me a similar feeling and impact me as strongly as hearing a really cool song or a really great guitar player.

Instead of signing away her property to one of the many landmen knocking on her door, she decided to attend a Chamber of Commerce luncheon, where Chesapeake CEO McClendon boasted of the economic benefits of fracking. "I went home and looked into it, and discovered that some of these companies had enormous amounts of debt," Rogers says. "It was more likely that they were drilling to meet debt service rather than for profitability."
Rogers describes fracking as a "drilling treadmill" based solely on hype. As soon as a geologist like Engelder reports a massive reserve, the industry immediately hypes what they call "a play," with each advertised as bigger and better than the last, from the Barnett Shale in Texas to the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania.
Gas companies quickly lease land and begin drilling at incredible rates of production. During the first year, everything looks great. But production soon drops as thousands of wells dry up, sometimes within 12 months.
"Only 20 percent of wells drilled will actually make money," Rogers says. "Eighty percent can easily be uneconomic. That is a whole lot of land used up in a search for 20 percent of the wells that will make money. Eighty-five percent of wells are abandoned in the first five years. And seven years is the average life of a well, rather than the 30 promised by industry."
And Bush, Cheney, and Congress made sure that the industry has no responsibility for cleaning up the pollution they leave behind, which will plague residents for years after the money stops. The insurance industry understands the threat. Some of the biggest carriers, like Nationwide, won't even offer fracking coverage to homeowners.
Still, the industry uses its initial figures to sell drilling as a long-term gold rush. Not only do they overestimate earnings to landowners, but they are also able to borrow huge sums of money against these exaggerated estimates.
"After a decade of fracking, we're beginning to be able to show that, without a doubt, this was simply a very well-orchestrated public relations campaign," Rogers says. "There is gas there, but is there as much as they said? No. Are we gonna see the economic stability they promised? The answer is no."
The frenzy has also flooded the natural gas market, where gas prices are at an all-time low thanks to overproduction.
In the end, Rogers says that the money these wells actually make isn't enough to offset the cost of land rendered worthless thanks to contamination. In essence, the industry is creating thousands of miniature Super Fund sites, leaving someone else to deal with the ruin.
"Fracking is exempt under the Energy Act," Rogers says. "Now, people have no recourse if they contaminate your aquifer or if they contaminate your air. They don't have to pay for it and they don't have to use pollution control devices that other industries have to use. They've basically been given a free ride by the federal government."
Rogers isn't the only person arguing that fracking isn't the economic savior promised by the industry. Recent studies by Penn State and Ohio State researchers show that the industry's boasts of prosperity were grossly exaggerated.
Penn State found that half the land being drilled is owned by people from outside Pennsylvania. Moreover, half the employees of fracking companies are also imported from elsewhere. "This would imply that a large portion of the economic benefits immediately leaves the communities being impacted by drilling," says professor Timothy Kelsey.
Worse, Pennsylvania has opted not to tax fracking ventures, buying the industry's claim that the state is the most expensive area to drill and a tax could make fracking economically unfeasible. As a result, the state has lost more than $300 million in potential revenue — while simultaneously slashing funding for everything from education to hospital trauma centers.
Critics note that Gov. Tom Corbett has received over $1.6 million in campaign contributions from the gas industry. Rogers says the same has been true in Texas and every other state where fracking has appeared.
"We've been experiencing the shale gas boom since 2005 and we are in horrible shape economically," she says. "Shale gas was supposed to be this economic powerhouse for the next 40 years, they said. It didn't even work out in the past seven. And it's the same story in every other state. Unfortunately, that's just how the game is played."
If you don't live in Dimock, Pa., or Wise County, Texas, it's easy to ignore the fallout. But few parts of America remain untouched.
They aren't drilling in Wisconsin or Minnesota, yet both states are feeling the industry's effects. Both offer rich supplies of fine sand called silica, used in fracking. In the last four years, sand-mining in both states has doubled — along with the rates of respiratory problems associated with it. At least nine Minnesota cities have enacted moratoria on mining, since treatment plants use toxic chemicals, presenting a threat to water supplies.
The U.S. Geological Survey further believes that an uncharacteristic surge of earthquakes throughout the Midwest is "almost certainly" related to gas companies disposing wastewater into deep-injection wells.
In 2008, there were just 29 earthquakes in the Midwest. Three years later, after fracking became widespread, the figure had more than quadrupled to 134. Most of them were clustered close to wells.

Hallo "kings_Landing" : nice puzzles , in your second puzzle after white played kd6 , what if black plays kb6 instead of Bxb1. Is still a mate in 2 possible??
Yes. 2. Bc2# because it is a discovered check, and 2...Bxb1 is prevented.
nice one!! thought abt the discovered check but dint see Bc2 to prevent the bishop taking the rook....this is perfect!! cheers.
cmscool, someone already refered to that: 1. Rxf6?? Nxg6
jocongamotin, the correct continuation to your diagram (comment #147) is 5... Nxe5 6. f3 Nxc4 7. fxg4 and white is losing.
The second puzzle:
black can check you :)
Yes, but white can respond to either check with discovered check and mate on move two.
What about 1. Rxe5
? - Do you mean 1. Rxf6?
This is not solved. What about Kh8?
The puzzle is solved, but to answer your question, if 7...Kh8 then 8. Qxg7#.
very nice
Instead of winning the Queen, the real opportunity is Mate in 9:
1. Bg7+ Bxg7 2. Qh5+ Kg8 3. Bd5+ e6 4. Bxe6+ Nf7 5.Qxf7+! Kh7 6. Qh5+ Bh6 7. Rf7+ Kh8 8. Qxh6+ Kg8 9.Rf1#
Wouldn't the puzzle solution be better though, because not only does it win the queen, but it mates one move quicker???
I haven't seen if anybody got mate in 6. The puzzle went as normal, but would not let me make (what would be) my last move; as follows:1. Bg7+ Bxg72. Qh5+ Kg83. Bd5+ e64. Bxe6+ Nf75. Rxf7 Qe8(?)6. Rf8 # (with a double check, and no where to go). the rook move checks the king, blocks the black queen, and discovers check by the bishop.
What about the simple black response 6...Kxf8?

Plans are moving forward for the North section of the Robert Moses Parkway in Niagara Falls. YNN's Antoinette DelBel has more on what the public and local leaders think of some of the parkway's alternatives.
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. - Project plans for the northern portion of the Robert Moses Parkway began more than a decade ago, and Wednesday, the public had a chance to view and provide input on draft plans for the parkway's North section along the Niagara Gorge. It's part of what's called a draft scoping report.
"It was a lot of work that went into this, and then all the partners had to come to a consensus that we wanted to move forward," said Mark Thomas, the Western District director of NYS Parks.
Residents looked at three alternatives for the project that would allow access to all gorge parks.
Although all are slightly different, they share one common element - removing part of the parkway from Main Street to Findlay Drive.
"There seems to be a consensus that emerged on this part that that could lead to a fundable, buildable project sooner rather than later," said Niagara Falls Mayor (D) Paul Dyster.
"All three plans today that we're looking at opens up the waterfront in downtown Niagara Falls," said Assemblyman (R) John Ceretto. "I see growth to our businesses coming from our waterfront areas toward inland toward the city to Main Street."
One plan involves removing all four lanes of the existing parkway between Main and Findlay and redesigning park road to Lewiston.
"I think the businesses along Main Street need the parkway reconfiguration to even exist and to grow, so I'm definitely in favor of any of the traffic being forced up onto Whirlpool Street," said Matt Green of Niagara Falls.
Another plan would also remove all four lanes and redesign the road to Devil's Hole.
A third plan would have the most amount of green space with no parkway at all from Findlay Drive north to Lewiston.
"It does the most to beautify the area along the gorge. There's no reason to have an old, dilapidated road along the gorge," said Lisa Vitello, a member of the Niagara Falls Tourism Advisory Board.
The public will be able to weigh in on the three alternatives over the next 30 days.
Thomas says he hopes to have a final scoping report by spring, and says it'll be about another two years before shovels are in the ground.

assumes the appearance of an old settled country. Then, when I passed through, there were only four houses at Payson and but an old shabby fort at Provo. [The 'Word of Wisdom,' as Joseph Smith had announced it, had not been a biding commandment in early Mormonism. It seemed to be condoned in connection with the 'grow your own or do without' program.] On the afternoon of April 2, 1853, the Lunts stopped in Holidaysburg, a little settlement about two hours from Salt Lake City, and visited with Brother Milo Andrus who had traveled across the ocean on the same ship as Henry. Brother Andrus had a good comfortable adobe house where he lived with his three wives. They invited the Lunts to spend the night but, after eating a very good dinner, Henry and Ellen decided to continue on to Salt Lake City. Andrus agreed to care for their animals during their stay, so the next day, after the Lunts reached Salt Lake, Henry paid two boys a half dollar to take his horse and mule back to the Andruses in Holidaysburg. Henry wrote: The Great Salt Lake City has the appearance of a city which is different to what it had been when I left a little over two years since. Houses are quite numerous. Some hundred homes have been erected in that time and some very good ones too. The Tabernacle is a very fine building, also the Council House and Store House. They couId grace the city of London.

Want to upgrade Samsung Galaxy Players from Gingerbread. Please advise.
I own and love my Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 and Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2. (I have two because I first lost the 4.0. Then purchased the 4.2 as a replacement. Then found the 4.0).
These great Players were my introduction to Android, since I owned a flip phone up until my first Smartphone, the Nexus 4, arrived last week. Jellybean is wonderful. I realize that I might not be able to upgrade my SGPs to JB but I would like to go up a step or two from Gingerbread.
I was snapped at when I asked this in another forum on the WWW, so thought I would try here. I have learned a lot here at these AC Forums.
If it can or can't be done and it has been explained before please direct me to the link that I must have missed in my search.
I hope that I can upgrade them. The last time I tried to connect the SGP 4.0 to my PC and Kies, I got the error message that the Player wasn't compatible?! So I really will need the "Dummies" version of what to do -- if in fact an upgrade is even doable.
Thanks for reading.Proud Member of #TeamAndroid!

The collection called PERTHES, represents the designer's illness that she suffered during her childhood.
Perthes is a disease that affects children from 4-10 years old, causing a lack of blood flow to the femoral head bone, and a partial necrosis as a result. The treatment consists of wearing a leg brace for many many years.
This season the black and gray garments contrast with the electric blue and earth tones, giving to the collection a touch of colour and light.
Designer's radiographs are printed on shirts, dresses and tights. The leg brace is transformed to silkscreen prints, it tells a sad story with a happy ending.
Chains and necklaces adorn the cotton, viscose and mohair garments. Garments are comfortable, timeless and beyond stereotypes, which is expected from this brand.
