B2evolution web hosting shared hosting USAGet Started
Our servers run on CloudLinux which is specifically designed around web hosting services. It allows us to limit the amount of CPU, memory and processes a single web site can use. This means a more stable environment as a single user is unable to utilize all system resources. In a typical web hosting environment one abusive user would be able to slow down all web sites on the server or even worse crash the system. This won't happen for any customer using our web hosting services.
Each of our available web hosting packages are powered by cPanel, the most popular web hosting control panel available today. It makes it possible for you to use many of our great features without the need for much knowledge about servers or anything of that nature. Just a few clicks and you have an email account setup. With another few clicks you'll have your first database setup, allowing you to access and manipulate it through the control panel.
Softaculous is an auto installer growing in popularity as an alternative to other installers and comes pre-installed in all web hosting packages. It provides over 230 scripts allowing one click implementation of the most popular CMS and web applications available like Wordpress and Joomla. With over 230 scripts available Softaculous offers significantly more variety than other installers. It also provides updates at a much more rapid pace than other auto installers available today.
Shared hosting is a type of hosting where numerous sites are hosted on a single server. Each of the sites shares the resources (disk space, bandwidth, CPU, and so on.) accessible through that server. Clients transcendently have control panel (Plesk, cPanel, and so forth.) access to their web hosting account, however don't have root level access to the server their account is working. General administration and upkeep of the server is the responsibility of the web host.
Shared hosting is especially helpful for individuals who have small to moderate size websites that don't require more server resources. Commercial based websites are often benefit from VPS or dedicated hosting.
We are offering shared hosting in Netherlands from European region. For more infomation about plans please have a look at the following link

The API report was surprisingly bullish on all fronts and not in directional sync with the range of expectations. Crude oil showed a surprise draw versus an expectation for a build. In addition both gasoline and distillate stocks showed large declines in inventory versus an expectation for a build in gasoline stocks and a much smaller draw in distillate fuel inventories. The API reported a draw (of about 1.9 million barrels) in crude oil stocks versus an industry expectation for a build as crude oil imports decreased marginally while refinery run rates increased strongly by 2.2%. The API reported a large draw in distillate and gasoline stocks.
The API report is bullish across the board with many participants now looking at this morning's EIA inventory report with much more interest. The oil market is firm heading into the US trading session and ahead of the EIA oil inventory report at 10:30 AM today. The market is always cautious on trading on the API report and prefers to wait for the more widely watched EIA report due out this morning. The API reported a draw of about 1.9 million barrels of crude oil with Cushing, Ok showing a strong build of 1.1 million barrels while PADD 2 stocks also built strongly by 1.5 million barrels. On the week gasoline stocks decreased by about 4.8 million barrels while distillate fuel stocks decreased by about 4.4 million barrels.

Innovation Season
The Innovation Season was a thought-provoking series of exhibitions and events designed to get Britain thinking about the future, stimulate creativity and celebrate ingenuity. The centrepiece was the Growing Knowledge exhibition , which introduced the latest research tools in a fully interactive environment.
- Crowdsourcing sound maps
Two pioneering projects enabled the public to contribute to the Library's collections using their mobile phones. By April 2011, approximately 1,700 people had contributed recordings of their surroundings to the ambitious UK SoundMap project, which won an award for best use of social media by a public sector organisation. Map Your Voice attracted nearly 1,500 contributions from around the world as part of the Evolving English exhibition.
- Inventing the 21st Century
The Business & IP Centre staged an exhibition exploring fifteen ingenious British inventions of the first decade of this century. It featured ground-breaking developments ranging from Dyson's bladeless fan and the Trekinetik K-2 all-terrain wheelchair to a double-headed broom invented by Samuel Houghton when he was three.

Atlantis' astronauts were awakened at 3:11 p.m. CDT this afternoon to make final preparations for their return to Earth following 10 days in space readying the International Space Station for future occupation. Mission Control awakened the astronauts to the march "El Capitan," by John Philip Sousa.
Final deorbit preparation begins at 8:13 p.m. CDT this evening on the crew's timeline. The space shuttle's payload bay doors will be closed at 9:33 p.m. and the spacecraft's radiators will no longer provide cooling once they are closed. Mission Control gives a "go" or "no go" call for transition to the software phase known as "Ops 3" at 9:45 p.m., shifting the onboard computers' attention to deorbit and entry tasks.
The astronauts start getting into their launch/entry suits at 10:49 p.m., climb into their seats at 11:13 p.m., perform a gimbal check of the Orbital Maneuvering System engines at 11:35 p.m. and pre-start the auxiliary power units to generate hydraulic power for the aerodynamic surfaces at 11:39 p.m.
The flight control team in Mission Control will review the condition of the Shuttle Orbiter and make a go/no go decision for the deorbit burn at 11:58 p.m. Atlantis maneuvers to the deorbit burn attitude at midnight and fires the OMS engines at 12:13 a.m. CDT to slow the forward speed and drop the spacecraft from orbit. Touchdown is planned for 1:20 a.m. Central time Monday at the Kennedy Space Center.
A second opportunity for landing occurs one orbit later with a deorbit burn at 1:50 a.m. and a landing at KSC at 2:56 a.m. CDT. The weather forecast for landing indicates acceptable conditions, although forecasters will be monitoring the progress of a front moving toward Florida throughout the day and its potential effect on winds at the Shuttle Landing Facility runway.
Two opportunities for a landing in Florida also are available on Tuesday and again on Wednesday, if needed. Also on Wednesday, Atlantis could land at Edwards Air Force Base, California, if required. Landing support will not be called up for Edwards until Wednesday.
The next mission status report will be issued following landing or wave-off Monday morning.
NASA Johnson Space Center Mission Status Reports and other information are available automatically by sending an Internet electronic mail message to firstname.lastname@example.com.

When, how Dions died still a mystery, but authorities say they were killed; son still soughtBy PAT GROSSMITH and TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 27. 2014 10:14PM
MANCHESTER — Authorities officially identified Robert and Constance Dion of 210 Mooresville Road as homicide victims Thursday as they continue to search for a "person of interest" — the Dions' son.
Investigators, however, did not say how Robert Dion, 71, and Constance Dion, 67, died. Their bodies were discovered Monday afternoon after a suspicious fire at their 210 Mooresville Road home.
"Right at this point in time we are not releasing the cause of death because we need to protect necessary investigative information," Senior Assistant Attorney General Janice Rundles said of the autopsy results.
She would not say if investigators determined when the couple died.
"We're definitely looking at all information about when the victims were last seen," Rundles said.
Police continue to search for the couple's son, Matthew Dion, 38, who lived with them.
Attorney James A. Normand of Normand & Associates, who represents Roger Mitchell, a nephew of the Dions and the temporary administrator of their estates, issued a statement from the family in which they said they were saddened the Dions' deaths were confirmed and it is now a homicide investigation.
They described the Dions as "being delightful, happy individuals who rejoiced in their friendship with others."
Robert Dion was a member of a Thursday night mixed bowling league at Spare Time Bowling on Valley Street. Lynda Tellier, an officer of the league who said she has been friends with Dion for about 10 years, said the league's members were in shock at losing "an awesome guy."
"Our whole league is devastated over this," she said Thursday evening after holding a league meeting to ask members to sign sympathy cards. "Tonight (the bowling is) not fun. We're just going through the motions."
Tellier said Dion was among the original members of his team.
He was an "average bowler" who put everyone else at ease by being laid back, helping inexperienced players and sharing a good joke, she said.
"Make sure you say all nice things because he was an awesome person," Tellier said.
She said Thursday's confirmation that Dion and his wife had died deepened the shock felt by the 75-member bowling league.
"It made it absolute," she said. "Because in the back of your mind, you're still thinking 'No, it couldn't be.'"
Robert Dion was an avid postage stamp collector, a hobby he enjoyed from his youth; he retired as postmaster of the North Salem Post Office. Constance Dion was an avid quilter and seamstress, often called on by family to help with various hem alterations and clothing mends.
In the prepared statement, the family said it understood police are seeking the Dions' son for questioning, but said they pass no judgement and hope Matthew Dion will speak with investigators in the near future.
They also encouraged friends and acquaintances of the Dions to call Normand or police with any information they may have regarding the Dions' activities in recent weeks, regardless of whether it seems important.
Investigators said Matthew Dion is believed to be using a white 2009 Nissan Altima with New Hampshire registration 341 0587. Anyone with information regarding Dion's whereabouts is asked to call 911, or Manchester police at (603) 668-8711.

The teenage girl charged with the 2010 murder of Ashlee Hyatt was convicted of manslaughter Sunday afternoon.
The 18-year-old was facing a second degree murder conviction, but after more than two days of deliberating, the jury of six men and six women returned with a guilty verdict on the lesser charge.
Sitting in the prisoner's box as the jury read the verdict, the accused shook with silent sobs while her family, who had been gathered behind her, wept.
Simultaneously, cries rang out from the other side of the courtroom as Hyatt's friends and family expressed their relief.
It was a dramatic end to a three-week trial that put the personal lives of teens who were at the Peachland party where Hyatt was killed, under intense scruitiny.
Although Crown counsel assembled a number of witnesses to say that the accused had fatally wounded Hyatt, 16, June 2, 2010, after a night of arguing and drinking, defence lawyer Donna Turko saw a different scenario.
She had argued that her client was a victim of a conspiracy, not involved with Hyatt's death and that the party host and her sister were more viable candidates for the crime.
Sam Waller, a friend of Hyatt and many of the teens involved in the trial, had been in attendance for the court proceedings day-in, day-out and said that it was a difficult to see her friends maligned.
"They're fabulous people. They were rocks being used to break down what the accused did. They're amazing people," she said.
She also said that the manslaughter verdict would provide the first step toward the closure the teens have been looking for since Hyatt was killed.
It was a sentiment echoed by Hyatt's mother, Charrie.
"I can get to sleep tonight," she said. "Ashlee got justice. I'd like to see (the accused) do jail time…and be accountable for what she did."
A sentence for the teenage killer should be delivered in the new year. Crown counsel has requested a psychological assessment, and from there it will be decided whether or not she's sentenced as an adult.

Top U.S. prospects: Besides Fields, Nic Long of Lakeside, Calif., finished second to Fields at the trials and is on the team with David Herman of Denver. Others to watch: World No. 1 Sam Willoughby of Australia and defending gold medalist Maris Strombergs of Latvia should press Fields for gold.

Forces in Afghanistan Find Heroin, Destroy Bomb Near School
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 26, 2009 – Afghan and coalition forces detained several suspected Taliban militants overnight during an operation designed to disrupt Taliban bombing and rocket attacks against Afghan and coalition forces in Afghanistan's Helmand province.
In the province's Nad Ali district, a combined force patrolled near the village of Marjeh, to compounds where intelligence sources reported a known Taliban commander was located.
While clearing the compounds, the force encountered a threat. Officials did not provide details of the threat, but said it was "eliminated" after several escalation-of-force measures.
The force completed the search without further incident, detained a handful of suspected militants, uncovered about 350 pounds of black-tar heroin and confiscated an AK-47 rifle. The heroin was destroyed.
No Afghan or coalition forces or noncombatants were injured in the operation, officials said.
In other news from Afghanistan, Afghan National Police and coalition forces found and eliminated six insurgent bombs near a village school in the Khayr Kot district of Paktika province June 24.
A coalition forces route-clearance patrol and explosive ordnance disposal team conducted a controlled detonation to eliminate the threat.
This was the fifth incident in the last week involving insurgent bombs being placed near schools and educational facilities in eastern Afghanistan, officials said.
National police and coalition forces recently responded to and eliminated the threat from a bomb found near a teachers center and public hospital in the Behsood district of Nangarhar province, and insurgent bombs caused extensive damage to educational facilities in three other locations in the region, officials said.
No one was injured in the school explosions.

Thank you Ms. Marsh for the question.
We are hopeful that the final regulations for the Pathways Program will be final Spring 2012.
Ms. Duren,
Thank you for the blog entry.
We encourage you to continue to apply for the positions that you feel you qualify for, and to ensure the record is clear: veteran's preference is the only hiring preference allowed in federal hiring law.
But if you have 15 years as a civil servant (tenure), you are eligible for reinstatement. It is important to note that reinstatement eligibility is not a guarantee for a job.
Please visit this USAJOBS information page for all the details you'll need: http://www.usajobs.gov/resourcecenter/index/interactive/reinstatementeligibility
I hope this is helpful.
Mr. Hasbrouck thank you for the blog question, a good one.
Agencies can merge the highest quality category with the next lower quality category when there are fewer than three eligible candidates assigned to the highest quality category regardless of the number of vacancies to be filled.
In your example, the agency is allowed to merge the highest quality category of 35 eligibles only when there are 2 remaining elgibles available in the highest category and vacancies need to be filled.
I hope this is helpful
Mr. Parrott thank you for your blog entry,
The Presidential Memorandum – "Improving the Federal Recruitment and Hiring Process", does not mandate 80 days as the time to hire, what it does prescribe is; "improve the quality and speed of agency hiring by: (i) reducing substantially the time it takes to hire mission-critical and commonly filled positions…"
Agencies have and continue to reduce the time it takes to hire mission-critical and commonly filled positions, and are making great strides toward the (non-mandated) goal of 80 days.
Also, the Presidential Memorandum instructs Agencies to "notify individuals applying for Federal employment through USAJOBS, an OPM-approved Federal web-based employment search portal, about the status of their application at key stages of the application process".
It would be appropriate for you to contact the Agency you've applied with about their applicant notification policy.
Thank you Ms. Harris for your blog entry,
While I can't speak to the specifics of your various 'debriefs', I can tell you that gaining employment in the federal government is not predicated on the applicant's possession of performance awards, nor do the standards used to qualify federal positions include performance awards as a requirement.
A 91 score is an outstanding score, but if there is an applicant with a score of 92 or higher, that person would of course have a higher ranking.
I hope this information has been helpful.
Thank you Mr. Harmon for the blog entry.
These are great and specific questions.
While we're eager to answer you, the best forum to address the specificity and detail that your questions represent are best done if you email your questions to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Our experts will be glad to provide you an answer to your questions.
Mr Haman thank you for your post,
Information pertaining to grandfathering will be addressed in the forthcoming transition guidance once the Pathways regulations are finalized.
We are hopeful that the regulations will be final Spring 2012.
Ms. Burmester,
Thank you for the blog entry.
Agencies are not authorized to use FCIP as a hiring authority.
Individuals who do not have personal non-competitive eligibility, i.e. Scheduled A, VRA, etc., must be hired using competitive procedures, i.e. DEU.
We expect the Pathway regulations to be released Spring 2012.
I hope this helps.
Hi Ms. Leifert,
The federal government does not allow age preference in hiring.
I'm sorry to hear that you have not met with the success you've hoped for, please do not stop trying. This USAJOBS link can assist you in applying for federal employment: http://www.usajobs.gov/ResourceCenter
I hope this helps

A mes¬ sage of welcome was read from Judge Otto A Rosalsky, who issued the call to the conference. Reviews Developments Mr. Bubhck, who was the chairman, reviewed the developments in American Jewish life in the past 30 years Or¬ thodox Jewry has emerged victorious in thp United States notwithstanding the attacks it had to endure from two sides.

Mothers Of Israel Were Honored At The Temple Last Sunday Their Services to Our People Were Extolled -by- Spiritual Leader of East Broad Street Temple SINGING OF HILLEL CHOIR A FEATURE OF MEETING Over three hundred and fifty persons turned out for the annual Mothers! Day Celebration of Zion l-odgc. No. 62, I., O B B at the Bryden Road Temple last Sunday cvennig They came to¬ gether not onl> to honor the valiant and noble Jlothers in Israel, but to hear a recital of the thing*! for which the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith stands and \vhdt it ha? dtcomphslicd in its eighty four jears of e-^istence The chief speaker of the evening was Rabbi Solomon Rivhn, the newly-elcctcd spir¬ itual leader of the East Broad Street Temple He was introduced by chairman Aaron M Neustadt as "a profound scholar, an eloquent preacher, and an untiring worker m the vme>ard of the Lord" The Rabbi's address in part follows "In this busy world of ours when business and the pursuit of pleasure claims all our tinie and when famdies are scattered all over the world it is \ ery appropriate that we should set aside at least one day in the year to think of our Mothers, the rock from which we have been hewn and the foun¬ tain from which we have drunk the waters of Life. According to the Jewish conception there are three partners in the formation of any man or woman, namely, God, "leather and Mother MotheF" given to us by God, to render to us that service aud attention which He him¬ self should have given each and every one of us Mother is God's represen¬ tative unto us. The Talmud tells us of a certain Rabbt that whenever he heard the footsteos of his iviotner, he said, "I will arise to do honor to the presence of the Scheckinah." Thts sent¬ iment expresses the Jewish conception of the respect we owe to our mothers. Mother is the symbol of the spirit of self-sacrifice and devoted service Who has no recollection of the tender care that Mother bestowed upon us when we were sick in bed? What Mother has been unwilling to spend sleepless nights to nurse back to health her sickly chdd¬ ren? Mother is the symbol of unselfish devotion. She gives herself as ^ sacrifice on the altar of love for her children "The Rabbis say that our forefathers were freed from Egipt because of the virtue and self-sacnficing spirit of the Mothers of that time How many of us owe our economic freedom to self- sacriJice of our mothers who have de¬ prived themselves not only of pleasure but of absolute necccssities m order to give us the opportunity to acquire an ed¬ ucation which should enable us to earn our livelihood with more ease. They de¬ prive themselves of much that they need in the present so that wc, their children, may have a more promising'fu¬ ture We owe our freedom, our social prestige and our influence to our Moth¬ ers "We owe to our parents two births, the physical and the spiritual Physical birth separates the child from its Mother. The physical birth we have ifi common with all animals. Man is different from other animals in this great respect, that when the child is born the attachment between the chdd and the mother be¬ comes ever greater qs the years go by. The result of this attachment brings about a new birth, a spiritual unity be¬ tween the mother and the child, and as the years- go by this niiiiy constantly in¬ creases in strength- The child speaks the language of the inother, thinks the thoughts of the mother, attaches himself to"the loyalties and ideals of the mother. On Mothers* Day tlierefore» we should think particularly of the spiritual bond between ourselves and our mothers. The biblical injunction of "Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother" does not apply merely to the physical comforts that we can ren¬ der our parents; it applies rather to the respect that we ow? to the personality of our parents. It seeks to emphasize the need of spiritual unity between parents and children." President Walter Katz of Zion Lodge delivered > review of the history of the Independent Order of B'nai 'B'rith pointing out the various i>lii]anthropic, cultural and civic activities which it has fostered aud promoted. "I am proud of my membership in the I. O. B. B.,** he said. 'Tt has helped to educate mc and to give me an understanding of my re¬ ligious and cultural heritage. It bas taught me that Judaism is life—a life dedicated to the.ibrotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God," ' Mr. Katz. then spoke briefly of the work being done under the supervislQii {Continued on page 4) >

One of the worst-kept secrets in Boston the last few years became official Tuesday when the Bruins announced they have signed a lease to build a new practice facility in Brighton-Allston.
One of the worst-kept secrets in Boston the last few years became official Tuesday when the Bruins announced they have signed a lease to build a new practice facility in Brighton-Allston.
Construction will begin in the spring and the Bruins are scheduled to begin skating there in the fall of 2016. The Brighton-Allston rink, located by the New Balance building on Guest Street, replaces the outdated Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington, which the Bruins have used since 1987.
The Bruins signed a lease with Boston Landing, a mixed-used development in Brighton-Allston.
"I am thrilled that we have found the Bruins a new practice home within the Boston city limits," Bruins principal Charlie Jacobs said. "Our goal is to set the industry standard in everything that we do, and we are confident that our new practice facility will do just that. As we enter the design phase of the project, we look forward to sharing details as they become available."
The rink will include approximately 25,000 square feet of locker room, training and office space.
For years, the Bruins have been trying to leave Ristuccia, which is out of the way for players and staff who live in the Boston area and lacks many of the comforts expected in modern practice facilities. There was also discussion of putting the practice facility adjacent to TD Garden as part of a larger project on the former grounds of Boston Garden, but the Bruins opted for the long-rumored Brighton project.
"Since joining the Bruins in a front office capacity, a goal of mine has been to move the Bruins into a first-class practice facility and this agreement moves us closer to accomplishing that goal," team president Cam Neely said. "The vision that New Balance has for the Boston Landing project is exactly what we were looking for, and we are confident that through this partnership, we will build a facility that our entire organization will be proud of."
There are also plans to put a commuter rail stop at the Boston Landing location on the Framingham-Worcester line that will be completed by fall 2016. There is already a supermarket and plans for additional development include office buildings, retail and restaurant space, a hotel and a sports complex.

Seasonal rains wash billions of tons of rock and soil from the Andes Mountains each year. But new evidence suggests that it's only about once every eight years, when the equatorial climate phenomenon known as La Niña is in full swing, that water rises rapidly enough to move huge amounts of that sediment to the flood plains.
Rolf Aalto, a University of Washington geologist, uses a lightweight tube-like device to extract core samples of such sediment deposits across the remote, thickly forested and unspoiled flood plains of northern Bolivia. He measures the amount and activity of lead-210, a radioactive isotope produced by the decay of naturally occurring radon. The isotope is deposited on the flood plain by fresh river sediment and by rainfall, and it can be used to date successive layers of sediment, for as long as a century after it is deposited, as the lead-210 decays further.
But when Aalto examined samples from the Beni River, which flows northward from the Andes into a Mississippi-sized Amazon tributary called the Rio Madeira, he was puzzled.
"I wasn't seeing a signal that looked anything like what I expected from previous studies on other river flood plains. I was befuddled," he said. "I would see a lot of lead-210 on the surface, and then the activity would drop down to an unchanging level of activity for a long way down, until the next big decrease."
The multitude of thin layers and gradually declining lead-210 activity that he expected to see simply didn't show up. The reason eventually occurred to him - a few thick sediment layers were filling most of the core samples. Once he came to that conclusion, he devised a new dating method to better reflect a more complex flood plain environment, then analyzed new samples that showed similar large deposits at various intervals going back nearly 100 years. Each of these large layers was deposited at a time that correlated with a La Niña event in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. La Niña is the cold phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation climate phenomenon that now is recognized as having wide affects on weather throughout the Western Hemisphere.
Aalto is lead author of a paper documenting the findings that appears in the Oct. 2 edition of the journal Nature. Other authors are Laurence Maurice-Bourgoin and Jean-Loup Guyot of Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) in France and Brazil, who have conducted extensive field studies in Bolivia and Brazil; Thomas Dunne of the University of California, Santa Barbara; and David Montgomery and Charles Nittrouer, both UW Earth and space sciences professors.
Their research, funded by the National Science Foundation and IRD, has focused on two rivers, the Beni and the Mamoré, that flow from the Bolivian Andes into the Rio Madeira. The researchers used the same techniques to measure mercury concentration in the sediment and determine when it was deposited, a first step in tracking substances of environmental concern.
When the heavy rains of La Niña hit the Andes, great floods wash vast amounts of sediment from the mountains. When the water gushes from the mountains, the streams rise very rapidly and can create a crevasse, a breach in the naturally occurring earthen levees at the river's edge. Once a levee is breached, the river water rushes through the gap carrying huge amounts of sediment, which is splayed across and deposited on the flood plain by the flowing water.
"The whole system is being raised," Aalto said. "The river channel is being raised and the flood plain is being raised too, as these splays shoot out from the channel and deposit lobes of sediment. And in most cases this is happening in precise timing with large La Niña events. Sediment is moved and deposited throughout the river system in episodes orchestrated by the El Niño cycle."
Thousands of years ago, the Beni flowed into the Mamoré near the Andes. But its course has changed many times though the millennia and the main channel now is hundreds of miles away from the Mamoré. Relic channels, previous paths along which the Beni used to distribute water and sediment to its flood plain, are clearly visible on Landsat images from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which also helped finance the work.
Each shift in the Beni's course probably came after it filled in part of a huge sedimentary basin at the foot of the Andes, created by the tremendous weight of the mountains pushing down on the tectonic plate on which they sit. The portion of the plate next to the mountains is depressed to create what is called a foreland basin, essentially a huge repository for sediment carried by rivers. In Bolivia, the foreland basin can be more than three miles deep. By depositing sediment as a river shifts course across its flood plain, the stream fills in the foreland basin.
All of the water and some sediment from the Beni and the Mamoré, along with many other rivers, ends up in the lower main stem of the Amazon, the world's largest river. But the Amazon traps only about 10 percent of the sediment from its tributaries, while more than 50 percent is trapped within upstream tributaries crossing foreland basins near the mountains.
"Essentially all sediment in the Amazon comes from the Andes, and more than half is trapped in foreland basins along the mountains," Aalto said. "The Andes and its foreland basins cover about one-fifth of the area of the Amazon but account for most of the sediment transfer."
Major floods in which a river shifts course don't happen often on human time scales, but these Bolivian rivers still can migrate large distances during a single flood, he said.
"If the Beni River were in the United States, it would definitely be thought of as a problem channel," he said. "If people lived along it they would be appalled to have it migrating rapidly and moving many miles in just a generation. And the prospect of having the entire river channel jump tens of miles would be devastating."
Aalto believes such active channel migration, periodic large sediment deposits on the flood plain and large floods might all be part of the general mechanics of large rivers. However, that theory cannot be fully explored in the United States because few rivers of appreciable size still function naturally, without at least some significant human-caused disturbance. He hopes that studying largely unspoiled rivers such as the Beni and Mamoré will help to build a better understanding of how rivers behave in completely natural conditions, and that understanding can be applied to disturbed river systems in the United States and elsewhere.
"For a geologist interested in the redistribution of mass across continents, it's an exciting place to work," he said. "Rivers are the arteries of continents, and the Beni is about as close to the heart of the Amazon as you can get."

Clarkson University Army ROTC Places Sixth in D.C. Race
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/army10miler2008.jpg]
The Clarkson University Army ROTC running club returned to the nation's capital on October 6 to defend their title as fastest Army ROTC team in the Army's 24th annual 10-mile foot race. Although they weren't able to repeat that feat, they still placed sixth overall, posting a faster time than last year.
This year 21 students and four instructors traveled to Washington, D.C., for the event. ROTC staff said that the trip, which was partially underwritten by the Fort Drum chapter of the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) and the Clarkson Guard, was an all around success.
Stops at the Gettysburg Battlefield, a tour of the barracks under the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, and a day of sightseeing in the Capital were some of the highlights of the trip. Most of the runners spent the night at the home of the parents of Cadet Brian Bierwirth in Clifton, Va. The trip was capped off by joining almost 19,000 runners for the annual race, which started and finished in the parking lot of the Pentagon.
Clarkson's top runner, Jason Burgess, finished with a time of 1:01:18, which placed him 200th overall. The next finisher, Mike Ives, ran in 1:02:57 and finished 272nd overall. The team finished in sixth among Army ROTC programs and 53rd among 511 teams overall.
"The cadets had a great time and we certainly appreciate the support of the Clarkson Guard, AUSA and the parents of our cadets who housed and fed us and cheered us on during the trip," said Major Scott Toth. "This trip demonstrates to the cadets the camaraderie and esprit de corps of the Army. We'll definitely be back for the 25th anniversary next year."
Clarkson University students on the Golden Knight team were senior Jason W. Burgess, civil engineering major, Wolcott, N.Y.; senior Michael J. Ives, interdisciplinary engineering & management, Ogdensburg, N.Y.; junior Brian P. Bierwirth, information systems & business processes, Clifton, Va.; senior Michael G. Frisone, mechanical engineering, Rexford, N.Y.; junior Matthew G. Wagner, mechanical engineering, Lancaster, Pa.; junior Dylan J. Morphet, civil engineering, Staatsburg, N.Y.; senior James I. Onley, communications, Watertown, N.Y.; junior Hilary A. Coker business studies, Watertown, N.Y.; Senior Amanda J. Crosley, Arete, South Colton, N.Y.; sophomore Jason B. Keys, mechanical engineering, Marion, N.Y.; senior Lewis E. Lizotte, chemistry, Sutton, Vt.; sophomore Erin L. McTarnaghan, Biology, Geneseo, N.Y.; Senior Jeremy A. Paro, mechanical engineering, Richmond, Vt.; sophomore Charles G. Rugg, information systems & business processes, Penfield, N.Y.; sophomore Colby C. Sortevik, political science, Pembroke, N.H.; sophomore Geoffrey B. Vantine, political science, Moretown, Vt.; senior Robert E. Walsh, interdisciplinary engineering & management, Rochester, N.Y.; senior Tyler S. Weaver, mechanical engineering, Wolcott, N.Y.
SUNY Potsdam cadets Junior Patrick J. Knight, history, Vestal, N.Y., and sophomore Jon C. Schumacher, criminal justice, Liverpool N.Y., and SUNY Canton junior Gunnar Gramlich, political science, Fort Ann, N.Y., also participated.
The cadre runners were Lt. Col. Jon Hinrichs, Maj. Scott Toth, Capt. David Whitt, and 2nd Lt. Katie Cavan. Master Sgt. Mark Empey also accompanied the team.

When I was young, there was an entirely different attitude about death and dying than what we see happening today.
Today, when someone dies, the family more and more frequently chooses to not have a funeral, chooses no longer to pray for the deceased as that loved one meets God face to face, and if the family does do something to mark the passing of the deceased, they will have a secular "celebration of life" event, like meeting in a restaurant or a home and telling stories about the person who died.
Cremation is fast becoming the norm, and more frequently, sadly, there is no service or gathering of any kind.
Even the dying process, as difficult as that is, is being short-circuited by more and more family members's leaving the dying person to be taken care of by some institution, drugged into non-awareness, and only visited by a few. As I attended dying people over 40 years I saw an increase of more and more attention to machines and numbers on the machines and less and less attention to the dying person. It has become rare to see someone talk to the dying person, whispering in his or her ear, telling of love and faith. And almost never do people gather around their dying loved one to pray.
As if the dying were not on their way to meet God, to encounter the judgment, and hopefully to be joined to God and the communion of saints.
It's as if all that we believe about death, judgment, and the afterlife are simply no longer relevant.
Is it that we really do not believe what we profess in the Creed every Sunday? Or, is that so many family members no longer believe at all, and never recite the Creed?
Yes, it may be a societal-wide loss of faith. Or, it may be that we have become so accustomed to doing everything we can to avoid suffering, that when it comes, we simply cannot face it. As I have often heard from some family member at a deathbed, "Can't we just get this over with?"
That's a very human reaction, especially for one who is unfamiliar with the suffering, passion, death and resurrection of Jesus and this mystery's implications for us.
Today's Scriptures call us to a very counter-cultural way of responding to suffering and death.
As people who say we believe in the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus, we care called to behave in a way that is different from those who do not believe.
So, when someone is dying, or suffering in any kind of way, we go to be with them, or if we can't, then we do what we can. We certainly cannot raise them from the dead as Jesus raised Lazarus, but we can in one way or another be there with them and pray for them.
And when impatience takes over either the dying person, or the family members, we can remind them that even Lazarus's best friend, Jesus, allowed him to suffer and die, only then to act when it seemed most impossible.
And, then, if we truly love the who has died, and if we truly love the Lord and believe in Him and in all of His promises, then what we do for a funeral will look very different from a secular "celebration of life." It will be a funeral Mass, in the parish church, with intense prayer for the deceased as they meet the Lord, and a joyful celebration that encourages all of us in the promise of eternal life.
Death is the most difficult thing all of us will face. Let us pray that we and our loved ones may have the grace of a happy death, meaning: let us pray that we may die in the state of grace, and if possible, be surrounded by our loved ones, but at least that we and our loved ones may die in peace. Amen.

STATESBORO - Georgia Southern's women never stopped fighting Wednesday night at Hanner Fieldhouse, but their shots stopped falling.
Eagles first-year coach Chris Vozab was proud of the first part despite a 56-42 loss to Furman.
Georgia Southern's hustle made it a close game for 34 minutes. But the Eagles (2-12, 1-4 Southern Conference) went the final 10:49 with just one field goal. They shot 16 of 62 overall (25.8 percent) and only 6 of 34 in the second half (17.6 percent).
Furman (5-8, 1-3) pulled away with a 10-0 run in the last 5:58.
"When we weren't completing the plays, we got a little frantic," said Vozab, who replaced longtime coach Rusty Cram after the Eagles struggled through an 8-22 campaign last season.
GSU's improvement isn't reflected in the team's record this season, said junior guard MiMi DuBose.
"We are so much better than this time last year," said DuBose, who finished with a team-high 11 points. "All of us are taking to this coaching staff."
DuBose likes Vozab's up-tempo attack, which differs from Cram's X's and O's methodical approach.
The team seemed to be responding. The Eagles fought back from a 19-point deficit on the road against the College of Charleston only to lose 58-56 last Saturday.
On Monday, Georgia Southern held on to defeat Western Carolina 58-56 and snapped a nine-game losing streak.
Southern showed flashes of good play Wednesday. A 14-4 run late in the first half built a 26-22 advantage.
DuBose had eight points in the spurt - four after hitting a 3-pointer and converting a free throw for a four-point play.
Furman ended the half on a 6-0 run to take a 28-26 lead. The Eagles stayed close but couldn't make enough plays during the final 11 minutes.
"We haven't been tentative, but today I think we were just pushing too much to make the play," Vozab said.
In a key sequence, Furman's 5-foot-4 point guard Erica Norwood ran down Kiki Rawls, who was ahead of the field, and blocked her layup attempt.
After another GSU missed shot, Norwood came out of the pack with the loose ball and led a fast break that ended with Teisha Griswold's 3-pointer to extend Furman's lead back to six, 44-38.
Despite the offensive struggles, GSU trailed only 46-42 with 3:37 left but Furman ended with a run.
Kaitlin Murphy led the Paladins with 15 points.
GSU freshman Sierra Kirkland from Statesboro had a career-high 10 points.
"It was disappointing to lose a conference game at home, but I think we're showing improvement," DuBose said. "Every conference game is big, but basketball is a tournament game and it matters the most how you play on that one weekend."
DuBose, of course, is talking about the Southern Conference Tournament, where the winner gets an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.
Vozab sees a bigger picture developing.
"We're trying to turn our team into a program," she said.
Ellis returns to area
Former Calvary Day School star Kelsey Ellis returned to the area as a guard with Furman. She was scoreless in four minutes of play.
The freshman has averaged 1.8 points and 1.1 rebounds with a career-high four points against Mercer on Nov. 24.
Her family, friends and former Calvary teammates made up a significant portion of the announced crowd of 379.
"I'm playing (shooting guard) instead of (forward), so the speed of the game and the defense is so different," Ellis said. "I have to get faster."

Thanks for the early gifts, Hollywood! November was a magical movie month ("Skyfall," "Lincoln") and December is shaping up much the same way -- some great cinema offerings are out there, if you can take a break from shopping and cookie-baking or family-visiting. Here's a look at our top picks.
Paramount/New Line/ Weinstein
"Jack Reacher," "Monsters Inc." in 3-D, "Django Unchained" and "The Hobbit" are all hitting theaters in December.
'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'
Those furry-footed guys are back again. Bless you, J.R.R. Tolkien, for being so prolific that we can not only get three movies out of the "Lord of the Rings," but three more out of the much shorter "Hobbit." (Will "The Silmarillion" be next?) "Unexpected Journey" begins the saga as Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf head off to the Lonely Mountain on a quest of their own. Plenty of familiar faces from "LOTR" are back for the ride.
'Monsters Inc.' in 3-D
It's been more than a decade since Pixar monsters Mike and Sulley trotted onto the scene in 2001's "Monsters Inc." Now that treasured animated film is getting the 3-D treatment, and even kids who weren't born when the movie came out can now see the "Monsters" on the big screen. If they like what they see, start counting down to June 21, when the prequel, "Monsters University," will come out.
'This Is 40'
They could have called it "Knocked Up 2: Electric Boogaloo." The "Knocked Up" sequel, "This Is 40," reunites us with Paul Rudd (Pete) and Leslie Mann (Debbie) as they fight their way through their 40s. If you like director/writer Judd Apatow's sense of humor and his family (Mann is his wife in real life, and their daughters play Mann and Rudd's daughters onscreen), you'll be knocking on this one's door. ("Bridesmaids" fans, Melissa McCarthy steals her scene in the trailer.)
'Zero Dark Thirty'
We'll never know exactly what went down on May 2, 2011, when Navy SEALs burst into Osama bin Laden's Abbottabad, Pakistan, compound and killed the world's most wanted terrorist. But "Zero Dark Thirty" may give us as good a shot as any. Director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal won Oscars for "The Hurt Locker," so if you appreciated that well-crafted war film, you know to expect a classy production here.
'Jack Reacher'
Whatever you think of his personal life and various tabloid headlines, Tom Cruise has developed from a young "Risky Business" and "Top Gun" heartthrob into a credible action hero. ("Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol" proved that.) He's now taking on the book-favorite character of Jack Reacher, author Lee Child's stoic, drifter hero. (One weird note: Reacher is noted in the books as being 6'5" while Cruise is ... not.) If the film's a hit, Child has more than a dozen more Reacher books that could be mined.
'Django Unchained'
Oh, a Quentin Tarantino movie. It will surely open quietly in a few arthouse theaters and no one will see -- ha, just kidding. The iconic director has lined up big stars (Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz), an intriguing story line, and his trademark over-the-top blood-splattering and smart dialogue. In "Django Unchained," Foxx plays a freed slave who hooks up with a white bounty hunter (the wonderfully creepy Waltz) in hopes of reuniting with his wife, who's been sold. It opens on Christmas Day. Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, peace on earth, now pass a bit of the old ultra-violence.
'Les Miserables'
Hollywood's pulling out all the stops for this one. Legendary novel. Powerhouse Broadway musical. Star-studded cast. Christmas Day release. If you've dreamed a dream while seeing "Les Mis" in a theater, or even if you've just been sucked in by a wasting-away Anne Hathaway in the trailer, or even if you enjoyed George Costanza singing "Master of the House" on "Seinfeld," this is your big present. Russell Crowe even joins Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Amanda Seyfried and the rest in song.

Stockton, CA
Betty K. Drovdal
Nov. 12, 1921-Feb. 5, 2013
Longtime Stockton resident, Betty Drovdal, has died after a long
illness. She was loved and admired, and will be greatly missed. Betty was born in Wadena, MN, the third daughter of Austin and Letha Kennedy. Soon the family moved to Southern California, where
Betty spent a happy childhood. She loved music and sports,
excelled academically, and
entered UCLA at age sixteen.
During WWII, Betty worked for the Vultee Aircraft Company, rising from the typing pool to assistant to the plant manager. It was at a USO dance in Long Beach that Betty met Orville "Joe" Drovdal. They were married in 1948, and settled in Lakewood, CA, where their children, Nancy and Richard, were born. Betty and Joe were
active in their church and community and Betty enjoyed being a stay-home mom, involved in Cub Scouts, Brownies, youth sports, etc. In 1959 the family moved to Stockton, where Betty became the office manager for Drovdal's Business Machines, Inc. Betty and Joe worked side by side to build their business, and again became
actively involved in their community and church. As members of the Stockton Power Squadron, they enjoyed boating along the Delta waterways with family and friends. Extended travels took them on cruises down the Mississippi, to Alaska, and through the Panama Canal. Trips to Hawaii, Branson and South Dakota were also favorites. Not ready to retire with Joe in the early 1980's, Betty became the executive assistant to the general manager of the San Joaquin Regional Transit District. She joined Joe in retirement in 1995, and once again, they
enjoyed travelling and entertaining. Family was always Betty's number one priority. She loved celebrating special occasions, and was always an integral part of
family gatherings. Betty added warmth, humor and love to any setting. Betty was preceded in death by her husband Joe, grandson Izak Palmer and sister Muriel Fisher. She leaves her daughter Nancy Drovdal Palmer; son
Richard Drovdal; daughter-in-law Carla Drovdal; grandchildren Alex Palmer, Chenoa Drovdal and
Dylan Drovdal; sister Marjorie Reyes; niece Kathleen Daugherty; nephew James Daugherty; great-nieces Michele Dignan, Colleen Jepson and Maureen Enoch; great-nephews-in-law, and great-great nieces and nephews. We celebrate Betty's long and happy life, while we sadly say 'good-bye'. A Private memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of
flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer's Association, 530 Bercut Drive Ste. A, Sacramento, CA 95811.

BLACKSBURG, Va. (Feb. 6, 2005) - The East Tennessee State women's tennis team defeated Virginia Tech 4-3 on Sunday morning. The Bucs pick up their second win of the weekend and the season to improve to 2-2 overall with the win, while the Hokies fall to 2-2 with the loss.
"It's always feels good to beat an ACC team," commented head coach Steve Brooks. "Virginia Tech has improved since last year and I feel fortunate to have won today."
Virgina Tech opened up doubles action with a win at the No. 3 slot by Kate Harrington and Bethan James in a 9-7 over ETSU pair Olya Batsula (Minsk, Belarus) and Gemma Halim (Jakarta, Indonesia). ETSU would then get a 9-7 win at the No. 1 from Masha Ilina (Kyiv, Ukraine) and Sylwia Ziolkowska (Warsaw, Poland). In the deciding match for the doubles point at No. 2, Sandie Knight (Adamstown, Australia) and Elena Volobueva (Barcelona, Spain) would win 7-5 over J.J. Larson and Jessica Long to give ETSU a 1-0 lead heading into singles competition.
The Hokies would even the score 1-1 with a win at the No. 6 by Harrington over Halim, 6-0, 6-3, but the Bucs would add two more wins to bring the score 3-1 with wins at the No. 5 and No. 2 positions from freshman Batsula and Volobueva respectively. Batsula would take her match against B. James 6-2, 6-1, and Volobueva would win her match against Larson by the same score.
The battle at the No. 3 slot would then come to an end to narrow the score 3-2 with a win by A. James over the Bucs' Ziolkowska in a hard fought 6-4, 7-6 (3) finish.
Knight would then secure the clinching point putting the Bucs up 4-2 in a thrilling 6-4, 6-4 victory at No. 4 over Long.
Although the match was decided, action was still tense as Ilina battled against Elazari, who is ranked 83rd nationally in singles, on court No. 1. The match would end in Elazari's favor 3-6, 7-6 (3), 6-3 for the 4-3 final match score.
"We've been working hard and this win will be an inspiration as we continue to practice this season," stated Brooks. "I hope we can build on this."

Father, son follow different paths to reach same goalBy APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
June 15. 2013 3:17AM
LONDONDERRY - Although their lives followed different paths, Richard Bernard and his son, Greg Porter, have long shared the common passion of helping their students build strength and endurance, both mentally and physically.
Bernard, the longtime owner of the House of the Samurai karate studio in Londonderry, never knew of Porter's existence until Porter was 30.
"By that time, he was already a black belt," Bernard said with a laugh. "It's funny how life happens sometimes."Life has a way of coming full circle, and now Porter, 43, is working next door to his father's Buttrick Road karate studio, having recently opened a business of his own.
Crossfit Stone Warriors opened its doors in January, offering participants a unique style of workout Porter describes as one of "functional movement" that incorporates squats, pushups, gymnastics and Olympic-style lifting.
"In many ways, Greg's art is the same as mine," said Bernard, who owns the building that houses both businesses. "Cross fitness is huge, but no one really knows what it's all about. The same goes for the traditional discipline of karate."
Bernard, who started House of Samurai in the basement of his Raymond home in the early 1970s, knows a few things about starting a business from the bottom up.
"I attended a lot of courses in the school of hard knocks," he said.
Over the years, word spread of Bernard's successful teaching methods, and he ultimately moved his business to a church basement, then to a town hall.
About 25 years ago Bernard, a four-time black belt, opened his Londonderry studio, or dojo, at 28 Buttrick Road.
"It's really a lifestyle," Bernard said. "My teachers passed it down to me."
Then in his early 60s, Bernard sold the business to two longtime students several years ago and began giving lessons at the National Karate Institute in Salem.
"I knew I wasn't going to be around forever and wanted someone to keep the school going as I had," he said. "But like a lot of business transactions, this one went sour fast. It just broke my heart."
Bernard ultimately bought back House of Samurai, with another pair of his longtime students, Jose and Rebecca Dimacali, stepping in as his master instructors.
The Dimacalis, who had been living in Alaska for several years, agreed to relocate to the area to lend their talents to the Londonderry studio.
"It was the only way I would have reconsidered reopening," Bernard said. "At first, I didn't expect them to say yes. That's loyalty, right there."
This past September, House of Samurai reopened its doors. At first, there were only a handful of students; many had moved to other studios.
But soon word spread, and Bernard said his Londonderry classes are quickly filling up once again. He continues to teach at the Salem school one night a week.
When he's not teaching classes, Bernard is the leader of Shidokan USA, a martial arts organization that maintains standards and issues ranks. The organization overseas karate programs throughout New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
The House of Samurai currently teaches both Goju-Ryu and Shorin-Ryu styles of karate, both popular in their native Japan, though there are hundreds of styles of the ancient martial art.
"Here, we're a hard-core traditional school of karate," Bernard said. "It's very structured, and everyone wears the same uniform, exactly like the standards established by the Japanese Ministry of Education."
Next door at Crossfit Stone Warriors, fitness programs are less conforming although equally rigorous.
"When you see Greg's studio, it looks a lot like a jungle gym," Bernard said of his son's fitness studio, which is often favored by mixed martial artist fighters.
For some reason, the Cross Fit program tends to appeal to women more than men, according to Porter, though classes are certainly open to everyone.
"We call it the 'Cross Fit Curves,'" he said.
Bernard smiled as he ran his fingers over the frayed ends of the tattered belt tied around his waist. Over the years, the color of his black belt has scratched off to reveal the color white, one of karate's lowest ranks, underneath. "Yes, everything comes full circle," he said.
