The World Panel on Financing Water Infrastructure also called Camdessus Panel, was active over the 2001-2003 period, and presented its final report "Financing Water for All" at the 3rd World Water Forum in Kyoto, 2003.
The Panel's objective was to address ways and means of attracting new financial resources to the water field. Concretely, members of the Panel tried to answer to the question: "How to find appropriate financial resources for the achievement of the two Millennium Development Goals for water access and sanitation?"
Constituted in late 2001, the Panel comprised 20 personalities with top-level experience in government, finance ministries, international development financial agencies, commercial banks, water companies, NGOs active in the water sector and a number of eminent independant professionals.
The Panel held seven meetings over 2002-2003 in Paris, Manila, Washington, The Hague, Johannesburg and London.
The "Financing Water for All" report provides a review of the landmarks in the evolution of a consensus, the status on infrastructure and financing, the roots of the probem, and a full list of recommendations.
Geographically, the focus of the report is on developing and transitional countries of Latin America, the Carribean, Africa, the Middle East, Asia Oceania and Central & Eastern Europe and the former Commonwealth of Independant States.

Order a DM14 and receive a FREE Dye i4 Paintball Goggle! Available while supplies last, so order quickly!
The DM-14 represents over ten years of paintball marker evolution. Our customers and athletes demanded perfection, so that's what we strive for in all our design decisions. Revamped and rebooted, the DM-14 is smaller and more air efficient than previous incarnations of the DM, with a streamlined design, nearly half an inch shorter than the DM-13. Its also easier to clean and maintain than ever before. When you take the field you can be sure DYE has spared no expense in putting pure performance in your hands, as the DM-14 has been born again hard.
Colour Coded O-Rings
Color Coded o-rings make it easy to quickly identify the correct replacement o-ring when performing maintenance of your marker.
Eye Pipe Plateless Enclosure
The Eye Pipe, patent pending, internal design houses multiple critical systems that ensure worry free performance. The polycarbonate pipe shields the self-cleaning anti-chop eye system from dirt and broken paint ensuring the eyes are always monitoring the breech and ball drop. The seamless pipe is wiped clean by the bolt tip o-ring on every cycle. The Eye Pipe system eliminates miss feeds, and double feeding. In addition it eliminates external eye plates and the potential of striped or corroded plate mounting screws.
Fuze Bolt System
DYE's one-piece Fuze bolt system operates at an extremely low 145psi. This low operating pressure produces a smooth bot cycle, minimal recoil, and extreme accuracy.
Reach Trigger
The Reach Trigger is the next evolutionary step in individually customized ergonomic comfort, as well as optimal trigger speed. With the Reach Trigger it is possible to adjust the angle and reach of your trigger externally. The new angle adjustment combined with the Travel and Spring Tension allows you to create a personalized fit to reach your ultimate shooting capabilities.
Sticky Grips
The full wrap around Sticky Grip allows for easy access to the battery and circuit board for programming without tools. The Sticky Grip includes a front rubber contact pad and rear rubber contact grip, for maximum comfort and stability.
GasThru Design
The DM14 is the first Gas-Thru tournament marker from Dye. The macro line has been removed to improve ergonomics and durability. Switching hands in tight situations has never been quicker or easier.
Low Profile Design
The DM14 has the lowest profile of any marker in the DM series. At nearly 1/2 an inch shorter, the DM14 is streamlined for the most competitive profile possible. To accomplish this the LPR has been moved to the front and redesigned into a self contained cartridge for easy maintenance.
Quick Release Magnetic Bolt
The all-new Quick Release Bolt Assembly is the fastest, easiest and most reliable bolt removal system on the market. A simple, one-touch spring loaded button allows the user to remove and re-install the bolt kit in seconds. Standard maintenance has never been easier or more accessible.
Reach Airport
Move your tank forward or backward to get the best fit for any tank and any player. The floating ASA holds the balanced cam lever system on/off toggle. When the knob is in the locked on position, air is delivered to the marker through frame for maximum comfort and a streamlined design. When released, trapped air is vented, allowing easy removal of tanks, reducing wear on regulator threads and o-rings.
Hyper4 Regulator
The Hyper 4, the latest generation of Dye's trusted line of regulators, is the most reliable and consistent regulator Dye has ever made, with the fastest disassembly available. Standard maintenance can be completed in under a minute, ensuring the best performance for your DM, day in and day out.
Ultralite 45 Frame
The UL 45 frame is the culmination of top pro player influence and progressive engineering. The hour-glass UL frame was ergonomically designed to give the player complete control of the marker. It also allows players to quickly and effortlessly pull the trigger. An integrated heads up display LED light alerts you to the status of your marker without taking your eyes off the game.

Their China That Was
October 1 is China National Day, commemorating the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.
Ever since Marco Polo reported on his travels, the West has been fascinated by China in all her remote vastness and inscrutability. For many years, missionaries, in particular, have given our own area a sense of connection to this distant and mysterious place.
Lottie Moon (1840-1912), from Albemarle County, devoted nearly 40 years to China and influenced generations of Baptist girls to become interested in missions in China.
Pearl S. Buck's best-selling novel, The Good Earth, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1932, and led to her award of the Nobel Prize in Literature for "her rich and truly epic descriptions of life in peasant China". Born in Hillsboro, West Virginia, Buck (1892-1973), lived in China with her Presbyterian missionary parents, and remained until 1934.
Craig Houston Patterson (1897-1993) relates in his memoir, My China That Was: from the Boxer Rebellion to Pearl Harbor, that he and his brother went to school with Pearl's sister Grace. Patterson was born in China to Presbyterian missionary parents, Brown Craig Patterson and Anne Rowland Houston, who were from Fishersville (Tinkling Spring) and Roanoke.
Following seminary, Patterson married Frances Glasgow, a native of Lexington and a descendant of Mary Moore of Abbs Valley; they returned to China in 1923. The Pattersons worked closely with William F. Junkin and his wife, Nettie Lambuth DuBose, in Sutsien. Mr. Junkin was a skilled negotiator who defused several tense situations with Chinese bandits and soldiers.
Patterson illuminates the work of missionaries, which revolved around devising practical solutions to daily problems—medical needs, education, training for work, distributing seed, ending the crippling custom of footbinding, providing flood and famine relief, and advocating against opium traffic, banditry, and the downgrading of women. They lived in austere conditions, with no electricity or running water, and constantly battled insects and disease. He recounts many funny incidents as he dealt with people problems.
The Junkins settled in Tazewell after their service in China. Their daughter Nettie, also a missionary, had to leave mainland China with the revolution in 1949 and served in Taiwan until her retirement. When she came to Tazewell, she worked with the Library's literacy program. At the conclusion of a literacy conference in Richmond, we had lunch at a Chinese restaurant. Miss Nettie drew the entire restaurant staff in a big circle around our table when she gave the waiter her order in Chinese.
The Pattersons also came to Tazewell, first in 1938 when they were refugees from the war with Japan. After Pearl Harbor, Dr. Pat pastored churches in Grundy, Williamson, Bluefield, and Bramwell.
Another absorbing account of a mission experience in China is The Small Woman by Alan Burgess. Rejected by the China Inland Mission, a British missionary society founded in 1865, for her lack of education, Gladys Aylward (1902-1970), a domestic worker, used her life savings to make her own way to China via the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1930. The dramatic account of her harrowing journey during the incipient war between Russia and China is only the beginning of a riveting life story.
Gladys apprenticed herself to Jeanne Lawson, a widowed independent missionary, with whom she studied the language and culture. Searching for a way to communicate with a distrusting people who saw them as "foreign devils", they opened the Inn of the Eight Happinesses, and gradually developed a warm rapport. Gladys came to be revered by the peasant people and respected by community leaders, and used her influence to improve living conditions, quell a prison riot, and save many lives. When the Japanese invaded in 1938, she led 94 orphan children on a long journey to safety through treacherous terrain.
Her exploits were made famous by the 1958 film, The Inn of the Sixth Happiness, starring Ingrid Bergman. Although based on her biography by Burgess, the movie took liberties with her story and mortified her.
Joseph Needham (1900-1995), son of a London doctor, was a married Cambridge biochemist who fell in love with a Chinese woman who came to study with him. Through Lu Gwei-djen, he found his life's passion in bringing to light for the Western world the centuries' worth of advanced scientific discoveries and inventions made by the Chinese. Because his knowledge of the language was so strong, the British government sent him to China during World War II to lend support to scientists, whose supply lines were cut off by the Japanese invasion. He used his diplomatic post to travel and make acquaintances far and wide, interview scholars, accumulate crates full of ancient Chinese books, and learn everything he could about China. Eventually, all this knowledge found its way into his magnum opus, the 17-volume encyclopedia, "Science and Civilisation in China", published by Cambridge University Press beginning in 1954.
A political activist, Needham was involved in the establishment of UNESCO and is the reason science is part of the focus of that organization.
Simon Winchester, known for blowing the dust off obscure historical figures and making them famous, has written a fascinating account of an eccentric fellow whose reputation for scholarship is still strong. Read and cheer for The Man Who Loved China: the fantastic story of the eccentric scientist who unlocked the mysteries of the Middle Kingdom.
Buck, Patterson, Aylward, and Needham were contemporaries and knew many of the same people and places in China; they also knew or knew of each other. The connections they share make reading their stories a most interesting experience of their China as it was before the revolution.

Public transport consists of very dependable trams, buses and trolley buses that service the city quickly and efficiently, but if there is no hurry, it is cheaper and more practical to walk or cycle. From May to October city bicycles can be borrowed from Genev' Roule outside the main train station free of charge. The excellent bus and tram network operates from about 5am to midnight with a night bus service running on weekends. A basic fare costs CHF 2.20 and allows use of the network within Geneva's central zone and unlimited transfers between buses and trams for an hour; or there are cheaper tickets limited to three stops and including a return journey within 30 minutes. Tickets must be pre-purchased and validated on boarding. Taxis are plentiful but generally an expensive means of transport. Driving in the city is not recommended as parking is very difficult, but to tour around Lake Geneva, hiring a car is the most practical way to get around.
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between April and October).
Electrical current in Switzerland is 220 volts AC, 50Hz. Plugs are of the linear, rounded three-pin type, but rounded two-pin plugs will fit the outlet.
The official currency is the Swiss Franc (CHF), divided into 100 rappen (German) or centimes (French). Although not part of the EU, many prices are nonetheless indicated in Euros and some merchants may accept Euros. Credit cards are widely accepted and ATMs are widespread. Banks offer the best exchange rates, but it is also possible to exchange money at major hotels, main train stations and airports. Banks are open Monday to Friday.
The international country dialling code for Switzerland is +41. Mobile phone GSM networks operate throughout the country. Internet cafes are available in the main towns and resorts; some public phone booths also have internet and email access.

Geneva is situated at a high altitude which, together with the lake, tempers the prevailing continental climate. Summers are pleasantly warm to hot, and winters relatively mild with temperatures hovering just above or below freezing. Rain falls all year round, and occasionally the city suffers the ravages of a harsh north wind known as the bise.
Unireso public buses leave for the city centre every few minutes from the departures and arrivals levels. Passengers can pick up a free ticket for public transport from the machine in the baggage collection area on the arrivals level; information is available at the Unireso information counter in the arrivals hall. A free hotel shuttle transports passengers to major hotels. A Unireso train leaves for Cornavin RR Station in the city centre every 10 minutes, from where connections can be made to destinations throughout Europe.
Car rental companies include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz and National. Travellers should ensure they hire their car on the French side of the border if they are going to France, and vice-versa. It is only about three miles (5km) into town.
Taxis can be found outside of the arrival terminal and cost about CHF 35 to the city centre (a bit extra for luggage). The trip is three miles (5km) and commute times vary according to traffic. Taxis are metered and there are around 60 registered taxi ranks in Geneva.
Terminal 2 is only used for charter flights in the winter months and is usually closed.
Luggage lockers can be found in the Train Station Mall and on the arrivals level. A Skycom Airport Business Centre and Business Corner offer a range of business facilities. Other amenities include banks, bureaux de change, ATMs, bars and restaurants, tourist information, a hotel reservation desk, post office and shops, including duty-free. Facilities for disabled passengers are good; those with special needs should contact their airline in advance.
Parking at Geneva Cointrin International Airport ranges from CHF 3 an hour for short-term parking (P2 and P3) to CHF 32 daily and CHF 170 weekly in covered long-term parking (P1, P20, P31, P32 and P33). P51 is the cheapest long-term option, charging CHF 29 per day and CHF 101 per week. Eurocard, American Express or Visa cards can be used to pay for parking in parking lots.
The airport offers free wifi access.

Cox wants to help you protect yourself from scareware and other fake anti-virus software. Read on to find out how.
What is Scareware?
Scareware is an unethical marketing ploy designed to scare customers into buying fake anti-virus software they usually do not need. An example of scareware is software that shows a fake 'blue screen of death' on your computer.The image looks real and convinces some customers to panic. They then click a button that sends them to the sellers' page to buy their software. This software supposedly fixes the fake attack.
How to Remove Fake Anti-virus Software
Option 1: Uninstalling
If you unknowingly install this fake anti-virus software it may be hard to remove. First, try removing it by going to your Windows Control Panel and choosing the Add / Remove Programs icon. Here you should be able to find the fake software and simply uninstall it. However, a piece of the application may still remain on your system. The remaining software could be dangerous spyware, such as a keylogger, which records all of the your computer keystrokes.
Option 2: Removal software
You can also try using anti-virus removal programs. A list of free programs is listed below. If you are not familiar or comfortable using these programs, you should consult a trained professional. However, if you already have anti-virus software installed, make sure you have the latest updates then reboot your system in Safe Mode. Once in Safe Mode, run a full scan.
These free virus removal tools are available on the Internet and can be used even if you already have anti-virus software installed. These tools might be able to discover viruses that your current anti-virus is unable to find.

Well, today I tried again with a current kubuntu trusty and I cannot get the secondary card working whatever I try. With 13.10 it works fine... If someone would like to help me figure it out here are the relevant logs:
http://pastebin.com/hEuE8SZE working dmesg (13.10)
http://pastebin.com/WeSByULi working Xorg.0.log
http://pastebin.com/wSSH3r91 bad dmesg (14.04)
http://pastebin.com/dTrgDnAd bad Xorg.0.log
As you can see, Xorg doesn't load nouveau on the second card anymore. I'd report a bug, but I don't know exactly against which component...
Hoping more people can look into it.
Users of other adapters (ex. nouveau, intel) should check to see if similar runtime PM logic has been adopted in the respective DRM/kernel driver.

Chop or not sunday sunday sunday
Chop or not sunday sunday sunday
so what the it cant be right
I say watch the magic as it dissapears over the next 24 hours, lol.
right right
if no i got a spot
headhigh chop sounds good to me right now
couple of qs....im trying my best to learn more about swells and such
where is this swell coming from?
how long will it last for
and the forecast for nags head nc is 6-9 ft with 12 foot swell.. what is the difference in swell and wave height mean and also can someone tell me how this will look (ex.. surfable..rough)
- how long will it last for. Well, look at the forecast
- 12 ft seas and 6-9 ft surf. Swellinfo predicts the wave face heights on the beach. The swell heights are open ocean swells that approach the coast. Wave face height is based on swell height, swell period, and swell direction (not to mention many other variables). But open ocean swell heights aren't the same as the breaking wave. So, 12ft @ 10 seconds, may be 6-9. But, 4ft @ 15 seconds may also be 6-9. In general, Swellinfo plays on the conservative side for bigger swells.
Also, when you say the swell all of a sudden disapears, this isn't the case. Look at the wave maps, and you an see that the storm track just stays more south then the previous model cycles. So, where the Southeast is still big, but the Mid Atlantic isn't see the swell by Sunday. Since weather or surf forecasting relies heavily on the model guidance, you have to keep an eye on these updates, and that is why forecasts can changes so much. This is especially true for East Coast surf forecasts, because most of our swells come from storms right off the coast and any small change in the track forecast can make gigantic differences.

Hi: 10° Lo:5°
By Chris Willmott Thursday 29 November 2012 Updated: 06/12 09:49
DEVASTATED residents in Dickens Heath are facing up to Christmas away from home after flood waters ravaged their apartments.
Between 10 and 15 apartments at Waterside and Waters Edge were deluged as the water 'came from out of nowhere' to blast through the communal hallways and into their homes - soaking and ruining anything up to six or seven inches off the ground.
The flooding caught homeowners unawares as it struck just after 5am on Sunday (November 25) - sweeping through their apartments in a matter of minutes while they lay asleep.
Sofas, furniture, carpets, rugs and electrical appliances were all wrecked by the dirty water, which turned the underground car parks into underwater car parks.
Forced to flee their homes, the residents will be homeless until after Christmas.
Those lucky enough to have family close by have turned to their relatives in their hour of need, while others not so lucky have been put up at a nearby hotel.
Duncan and Clare Kellett live with their three children in a ground floor apartment in Waterside, which was one of the worst affected (pictured).
"The water had been high on the Wednesday, but apart from flooding the field opposite - where Taylor Wimpey has just been given permission to build new homes - it didn't cause any trouble, and the maintenance team from the village were fabulous in pumping it away," said the 36-year-old Mercedes salesman.
"So when it came on Saturday night we were caught off-guard.
"We woke up to find our home under six or seven inches of water with so much of our stuff ruined."
Duncan and his family quickly salvaged what they could and packed their bags to go and live with family in nearby Earlswood.
"We are very lucky that we have family close by who we can stay with and the kids think it's a bit of a fun adventure," he added.
"To be honest we are very lucky in many ways as there is a lot worse that can happen to you - but it's still a headache we could do without."
Among other residents affected was one woman who had been on a Christmas present shopping spree in London that weekend whose gifts had all been ruined and another couple who had only just moved in so not sorted out their contents insurance.
With everyone safe and re-homed attentions are now turning to how the flooding was allowed to happen and why the village's flood alleviation measure didn't work.
Read next week's Observer to find out the answers.
Underground car parks became underwater car parks. (s)
The childrens' rooms were submerged in dirty flood water. (s)
The corridors were flooded. (s)
The Kellet family's bedroom under several inches of water - everything on the ground was ruined. (s)

What's Local
Ice cream lovers rejoice! Not only is July National Ice Cream month but today is National Ice Cream Day, so certainly double the fun should be in order! (I am sure my kids will hit me up twice to celebrate)
If you want ice cream at its freshest and its finest then do pay a visit to Morgan's restaurant where we make our very own using local ingredients. (this is where the "What's local" part comes in) We use milk from Ronnybrook Farm Dairy in Ancramdale, NY and fresh eggs from Feather Ridge Farm in Elizaville, NY to give you the ultimate ice cream experience. Today may be the day to step away from traditional vanilla and chocolate (although both are yummy) and try one of our unique flavors such as sour cream. Yes, you read that right: sour cream! Don't turn your nose on this one, it is truly wonderful! We also offer such flavors as balsamic, pretzel, pistachio, and graham cracker. These are all so rich and creamy on their own or paired up with our desserts such as the S'mores Double Chocolate Ganache Torte (as you see below) or Local Apple Fritters. Enjoy a scoop anytime at Morgan's restaurant!
What's new!
You will not need to count sheep when it's time for bed at Interlaken. You can sleep easy with our new bedding ensemble.
We have a new look in our main building Guestrooms, and you can be rest assured that everything you sleep in and on is super fresh and super clean upon your arrival. We triple sheet each and every bed with 300 thread count sheets topped with four fluffy pillows. Each bed has an amazing wonder blanket tucked inside for the perfect amount of comfort. At the end of your stay we remove everything you see here and replace it with a fresh new set, including the blanket. No more questionable duvets or pillows that are tossed on the floor only to be placed back on the bed. Only the freshest and cleanest for our Guests. Please tell us how you like our new look!
What's blooming
It's more like what is NOT blooming here at Interlaken! Wow, with all of the rain and the hot sun the flowers are just so intense right around the wedding cocktail and reception pavilion - as well as all areas around the property. Let the pictures prove it!
"Organic and Homey"
These were the two words that a Guest used to describe the Interlaken property at our Intermingle this week. I like those words alot and have never heard them used together in a sentence regarding Interlaken. I really like this Intermingle hour each week!
It was great meeting this couple this week, and not just because they were complimentary of the Interlaken. They were just super fun, down-to-earth people escaping for an overnight getaway while their kids were away at camp. They particurlarly loved our Woodside pet friendly accommodations for their big "doodle" dogs - one being "golden" and ther other being "labra". Gypsy and Everest are their names and I hope to meet them in the lobby tomorrow so I can give them a little treat - and perhaps they can be my pet of the week! We happened to mentioned that our private lakeside cabin is also pet friendly and they were both extremely interested in that option later this summer. Are you familiar with our lakeside cabin? It is a one bedroom cabin on our "back" lake with complete privacy and your own lake frontage. There are a few dates in August and also some in September that are still available, so if a quiet and restful vacation are in order soon be sure to look into this very unique accommodation.
Talking Tea
As you may know I love to talk about tea, especially Harney and Sons tea, so you can imagine my delight at our "Intermingle" this evening when Mr. John Harney himself walked in. "Master Tea Blender" is what he is and Master Tea Blending" is what his family business does. Harney and Sons tea company was created 30 years right here in Salisbury, CT and is now headquarted in Millerton, NY. I always recommend to our Guests that if they are tea lovers (or likers even) it is a must do!Although I didn't approach Mr. Harney right away I eventually made my way to him and said "Hello Mr. Harney. I love your tea. I start my day with English Breakfast (me too he said) and in the afternoon enjoy Earl Grey (he said he has been choosing Sencha and I said I would make the switch for the summer myself). So if you've always wondered which tea Mr. Harney himself prefers over the hundreds of tea offerings they have, here it is. Be sure to visit his shop in Millerton or SOHO and of course on-line at Harney and Sons Fine Teas.
It was another nice turn-out for our weekly cocktail hour of getting to know Guests and local business people. I also want to say "It was nice meeting you Nancy!"
Come join us next week when we meet in the Executive Lounge at 5pm to 6pm.
The grand entrance
Ahh, the grand entrance. Everyone is waiting at the shores of Lake Wononscopomuc for the bride so the ceremony can begin. Will she arrive in a vintage car? A limo? A horse and carriage? Perhaps a canoe? She can arrive in many ways, but today she will arrive sweetly and simply by foot.
I couldn't resist taking this shot of the bride with her best friends heading to the lakefront ceremony today.
What's Local
Freshly picked this morning and freshly placed on your dinner plate this evening.
How many restaurants can say that?
We can, and we are proud of it. Chef Brandon picked these amazing vegetables from his garden bright and early this morning, and with each pick thinking of how he will prepare them this evening in Morgan's Restaurant.
These aren't just your usual red beets, these are naturally striped red beets. They look like those little peppermint candies, but much prettier, tastier, and healthier for you.
You'll have to come into Morgan's for dinner tonight to see how Chef Brandon prepared them, garnished with the halibut perhaps?
Intermingle with song
This week's cocktail hour was held where it was nice and cool - in Morgan's restaurant. With fresh strawberry sangrias prepared by Wes and scallop appetizers from our Chefs, the crowd was entertained by the cast of Monty Python's Spamalot playing now through July 7th at the TriArts Theater in Sharon, CT. What a talented group of young people!
Here they are featured in the Compass section of this week's Lakeville Journal. Although they did not come dressed like this, their amazing voices filled our restaurant with amusing entertainment and laughs. If you haven't caught a show at TriArts I highly recommend it, you would not believe what talent lies in that summer stock theater! "Doubt: A Parable" comes next followed by "They're Playing Our song" with many other shows planned right through August. Just 10 minutes from Interlaken!
Pet of the Week
This is actually a FUTURE pet of the week!
Remember this handsome and agile guy from last summer? He'll be visiting us again this summer, along with his brother and the newest addition to their family, their little sister who is just 6 weeks old at the moment. I saw photos of her when she was just one hour old and you can only imagine how cute she was. Woofles met Interlaken last summer while he was in the area for the Hudson Valley Dockdogs event in Millerton, NY. He and his brother had super fun in our lake for a few days, and I can't wait to meet the newest addition to their family this summer!
We are pet friendly and love it!

Product Description
Testosterone; It is the male's physical life-blood. You don't want to have low levels under any condition. TestoPRO™ will make sure that your levels are never in short supply. You are obviously reading this because you want to be bigger, stronger, and be at the top of your game performance wise. TestoPRO™ can make that happen and then some. TestoPRO™ is an all-natural testosterone booster that uses only the most scientifically proven ingredients to elevate testosterone levels. You can expect more strength leading to heavier lifts, more muscle mass increase, lots of natural energy, and a libido that will go absolutely through the roof. So get your TestoPRO™ today and start dominating your life like you should be. Nuff Said!
TestoPRO™ works by freeing up testosterone the body already has. Circulating testosterone is bound by a glycoprotein called sex hormone binding globulin, or SHBG. TestoPRO™ works by preventing this action from happening, resulting in drastically increased free testosterone (the biologically active form), allowing for increased strength, lean mass, stronger libido and even fat loss.
Testofen® is an extract of fenugreek seed containing the steroidal saponins, sapogenins and furostanol saponins, which are important precursors for the synthesis of a number of sex hormones. This extract has been proven in human studies to raise free testosterone (the biologically active form) by an amazing 98.81 percent. A 100 percent increase compared to that of the placebo group. Just as important, not only does Testofen® boost free testosterone, but it also aids in fat loss. Not only did the participants in the study have significantly raised testosterone, they also didn't gain any weight. I know. You want muscle, right? You will like hearing this. Skin fold thickness was measured at the beginning of the study, as well as the end of the study, at both the triceps and thigh regions. On average, participant's skin fold thickness was reduced 20.18 percent at the triceps and 14.64 percent at the thigh, while maintaining body weight? What does that mean? Only that while losing a substantial amount of fat in the skin fold thickness, participants gained an equal amount of muscle. So they were losing fat and gaining muscle mass, at the same time! Blood Urea nitrogen levels were significantly reduced after consumption of Testofen®. This shows reduction in protein catabolism. This confirms muscle mass build up during the study while skin fold decrease took place. This all sounds well and good, but what about safety of Testofen®? All these parameters were normal for all participants; Heart Rate, Blood Glucose Levels, Body Temperature, Blood Pressure, Respiratory Rates, Alkaline Phosphate, Bilirubin [ Total, Direct and Indirect ], Creatinine, Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, MCV, MCHC, RBC Count, WBC Count, Platelets, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Basophils, Eosinophils, and Neutrophils.
Not only does TestoPRO™ contain one ingredient proven to raise free testosterone, but it contains two. The other one is Divanil™, a compound also proven to raise free testosterone by binding to sex-hormone-binding-globulin, or SHBG. SHBG is a glycoprotein that binds to sex hormones, specifically testosterone and estradiol. By using Divanil™, a potent inhibitor of SHBG, we are able to dramatically increase the levels of free testosterone in the body. Free testosterone is the only form of testosterone able to enter the cell and initiate the positive benefits that testosterone will provide.
Indole-3-Carbinol I know, you have heard that some testosterone boosters can cause issues with libido, and even raising estrogen, but that will not be the case with TestoPRO™. The two ingredients that raise free testosterone will take care of your libido, perhaps even raising it to higher levels than normal, and we have also included an ingredient to modulate your estrogen levels, it is called Indole-3-Carbinol. Indole-3-Carbinol is a compound found in high concentrations in Brassica family vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage (sounds like mom was right when she said eat your broccoli, huh?).
Indole-3-Carbinol has several effects, ranging from anti-cancer, to anti-oxidant, and finally the reason we included it in our formula – estrogen modulation. The metabolism of estradiol results primarily in either 2-hydroxyestrone or 16a-hydroxyestrone, and to a lesser extent 4-hydroxyestrone. It is known that 16a-hydroxyestrone causes proliferation of some breast tumor cell lines, while the alternative metabolite, 2-hydroxyestrone, demonstrates anti-estrogenic and anti-proliferative activity. Indole-3-Carbinol helps the body to modulate estrogen to degrade into the healthier of the alternatives, as opposed to the other. 2-hydroxyestrone, as you read, has anti-estrogenic properties.
Now, none of these ingredients do much good if they aren't active in your system long enough to reap the desired effects, so we have included two ingredients that help with increasing the bio-availability and maybe even increasing the amount of time these substances are active in your body. These two ingredients are what known as quercetin, and Bioperine®.
Quercetin is a potent inhibitor of glucorodination and sulfation. Inhibiting these two pathways results in increased bioavailability of the product you are taking. Quercetin also has other benefits, ranging from being an anti-inflammatory agent, antioxidant, as well as a potential preventative aid for cancer, heart disease, or diabetes.
BioPerine® enhances the body's natural thermogenic activity-hence the term Thermonutrient®. This enhancement may be explained as a means of increasing the thermal energy sufficient to "power up" the mechanism related to thermogenesis. This in turn results in increased metabolic processes that creates a "demand" for "supply" of a broad range of nutrients that contribute to metabolism, i.e. vitamins, minerals, herbals, amino acids, etc. It is as if BioPerine® activates a metabolic paddle wheel, of sorts, that selectively provides a more efficient mode of nutrient transportation into the blood.
Take 1 serving (2 pills) in the AM, and another serving (2 pills) in the PM.
D. Hanson Carson City, NV:
"This is my first test booster so I didn't know what to expect. I did a ton of research. I wanted something that was safe and natural. I saw that many of them are not safe and have things in them which are synthetic so I dismissed those right away. I narrowed it down to the 3 most popular with TestoPRO as one of them. Then I went to the forums to see what was up. One of them seem to have a ton of support but then I saw they had changed the formula and people were saying the new formula wasn't nearly as good as the original and the original is outdated and no longer available now. I didn't want to buy a less powerful version so I axed that idea.
So that left me with TestoPRO and the other one, I don't think I am allowed to say its name here. Well the owner was being nasty to a guy who said it didn't work for him. The owner was blaming the guy for not eating perfectly and working out perfectly, basically not dedicating his life to using his supplement. Then the reps for that company started blaming the guy and flaming him.
That really tuned me off but I still wasn't sold on getting TestoPRO. Then I saw the owner of the company that makes TestoPRO saying they are happy to help anyone who buys or even if you do not buy their sups. When you do buy their products they even offer a satisfaction guarantee 100% with no risk. That was it, that made my decision easy. I thought why buy from a company that blames the consumer if the product doesn't work or from another company that makes a new version which isn't as strong as the original.
So I got the TestoPRO it worked like nothing else I have ever seen or heard of. Now I know why so many people are dedicated to AI and TestoPRO. Just last week I bought another bottle and plan to do an 8 week cycle.
TestoPRO really is that good. I have no doubt now why so many people like AI. They stand behind their products and help you with anything. They seem to be in it for the long run not just trying to make a fast profit and get out. They have earned my respect forever. THANKS AI! !"
S. Kendrick Detroit MI:
"I have tried probably every test booster there is out there and have never really gotten much at all. That is until I tried TestoPRO. Felt increase in confidence, strength and overall wellbeing within 8 – 10 days. I am more than impressed and wish I hadn't wasted my money on all those other ones. If you are in doubt I say just go ahead and take the plunge. I am benching more now than ever before and my girlfriend even noticed how much bigger my arms and chest are!"
Robert Johnson San Diego, CA:
" ********** 10 out of 10. Ok well maybe 9.9 out of 10 because nothing is perfect ☺ But TestoPRO comes very close. Without a doubt a sup I will be using for years because of the quick gains and no side effects. I did some prohormone cycles but you end up spending so much money on the cycle, the liver sups, the after cycle sups etc it is tough to do for a college student. Using TestoPRO solved the money problem and it is a lot safer and still gives me great results. I like the big hard muscle look with abs still showing and that is what I get with TestoPRO"
Travis Collins Dallas, TX:
"A friend of mine told me about TestoPRO and I figured it was a scam so I didn't buy any. Finally he gave me half a bottle of his to try and all I can say is WOW. Feel sort of stupid for not having gotten it sooner. I would say get it and try it yourself you will see why everyone is saying how great it is. After all they offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee so there is no risk"
Michael Opinion, CA:
"Tribulus? NOPE. divanil+testofen? YES. not one but two testosterone boosters. testopro is probably one of the best testosterone boosters i've ever taken, and i've been through quite a few! with i3c helping with estrogen metabolizing, testopro was top notch with giving me dense muscle, great endurance, an obvious libido boost and strength gain."
Q. So what exactly is TestoPRO™?
A. TestoPRO™ is the culmination of several ingredients, proven by science to be beneficial in raising testosterone (Testofen™, and Divanil ™), naturally, as well as other ingredients proven by science to promote positive estrogen modulation towards the beneficial metabolites (Indole-3-Carbinol). And finally, two ingredients that have been shown to aid in the absorption and bioavailabity of the package as a whole (Quercetin, Bioperine®).
Q. What is so good about Testofen™?
A. Testofen is an extract of fenugreek seed containing the steroidal saponins, sapogenins and furostanol saponins , which are important precursors for the synthesis of a number of sex hormones. This extract has been proven in human studies to raise free testosterone (the biologically active form) by an amazing 98.81 percent.
Q. What is so good about Divanil™?
A. Divanil ™ is a compound tried, tested and scientifically proven to enhance free testosterone by binding to sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG). SHBG keeps your testosterone bound, and by adding in Divanil™, much more testosterone is free in your system, and you can reap its positive effects.
Q. TestoPRO™ contains something called Indole-3-Carbinol. What does this do?
A. Indole-3-Carbinol is a compound found in high concentrations in Brassica family vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage (sounds like mom was right when she said eat your broccoli, huh?). Indole-3-Carbinol has several effects, ranging from anti-cancer, to anti-oxidant, and finally the reason we included it in our formula – estrogen modulation. Metabolism of estradiol results primarily in either 2-hydroxyestrone or 16a-hydroxyestrone, and to a lesser extent 4-hydroxyestrone. It is known that 16a-hydroxyestrone causes proliferation of some breast tumor cell lines, while the alternative metabolite, 2-hydroxyestrone, demonstrates anti-estrogenic and anti-proliferative activity. Indole-3-Carbinol helps the body to modulate estrogen to degrade into the healthier of the alternatives, as opposed to the other. 2-hydroxyestrone, as you read, has anti-estrogenic properties.
Q. So what are the dosing recommendations?
A. Two caps per serving, 2 times per day.
Q. How long does a bottle last?
A. One month at recommended dosing.
Q. How long can I use it for?
A. We recommend four to eight week cycles.
Q. Will TestoPRO™ lose effectiveness over time?
A. We have no reason to expect so. However, we still recommend no longer than 8 week cycles to keep maximum product efficacy.
Q. Does TestoPRO™ cause HPTA shutdown?
A. No, it is non-hormonal anabolic. It may even aid in HPTA function.
Q. Does it matter if taken with or without food?
A. No.
Q. Will I gain strength?
A. yes!
Q. Do you think TestoPRO™ would be strong enough to retain muscle while cutting?
A. Yes! Study results show significant reduction in skin fold thickness, indicating fat loss, while not losing weight.
Q. I have noticed some cool vascularity using TestoPRO™. What is causing this?
A. That is most likely the positive effects of Divanil™ on nitric oxide synthesis. Just another positive effect.
Q. I have a medical condition. Will TestoPRO™ cause problems with any medication I am taking?
A. Always consult your doctor before using any new products.

Battle of Destiny
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Battle of Destiny (BoD for short) is a 2D, fantasy-themed, side-scrolling action-MMORPG published by Cubizone. In both graphics and gameplay, BoD is a lot like the old-school side-scrolling fighting games commonly found in arcades.
Publisher: Cubizone
Playerbase: Medium
Graphics: Low Quality
Type: MMORPG
EXP Rate: Medium
PvP: Duels / Open World Dungeons
Filesize: ~1200 MB
Pros: +Fun, fast-paced gameplay. +Equipment enchantment system. +Joypad / controller compatibility. +Many quests.
Cons: -Terrible English translations. -Very limited character customization. -Very linear 'stage' based progression.
Battle of Destiny Overview
Battle of Destiny is a side-scrolling action-MMORPG that both looks and plays a lot like Nexon's incredibly popular Dungeon Fighter Online. One thing worth mentioning right away is that the official Battle of Destiny servers are located in Malaysia, so Western players with slower internet connections may experience some latency issues. Anyone that's a fan of side-scrolling action-MMORPGs should certainly find something to like in Battle of Destiny. If you've already played Dungen Fighter, Battle of Destiny may be worth skipping, as the two games are remarkably similar. The game's classes are:
Swordsman – Swordsman are the generic 'tank' like class in Battle of Destiny. They have the highest hit points and armor in the game, and make formidable opponents in melee range.
Fighter – Fighters are extremely similar to Swordsmen, in that they have high defense and are a melee-oriented class with one exception – they have a greater emphasis on dealing damage. Fighters are proficient with powerful fist weapons.
Archer - Archers are deadly with the bow. They are fast and agile, which allows them to deal damage rather quickly from a distance, but are vulnerable in melee combat. They tend to wear lighter armor than fighters and swordsmen, but heavier than what a Mage can wear.
Mage – Like in most games, the Mage in BoD is an offensive spell-casting class that is capable of dealing enormous amounts of damage from a distance. They have access to both devastating direct damage and area of effect spells.

Battle of Destiny Review
By Jaime Skelton
Arcade fighting games are making a comeback – but it's not on arcades, or even consoles. Instead, the side-scrolling, button-mashing, combo-breaking games are finding popularity in MMO form. Battle of Destiny is one of these arcade-style MMOs. Brought to us by Cubizone, the same company who publishes Soul of the Ultimate Nation and Perfect World in Malaysia, Battle of Destiny bears a great deal of similarity to Dungeon Fighter Online, although it is easier for those new to these kinds of games. Like Dungeon Fighter Online, Battle of Destiny is a 2D Side Scrolling 'beat em' up' style action MMORPG.
Exiting the Clone Machine
If you're hoping for a lot of customization, you might want to turn away now. Character creation is very limited for Battle of Destiny, although it still has more options than Dungeon Fighter Online. There are eight hair colors, and about as many hair styles, to choose from – and even less options for your clothing colors. Once you come up with a combination that makes you happy, and name your character, you then get to choose your main weapon – essentially your "class" in the game. Your choices are the melee oriented sword (Swordsman) or fist weapon (Fighter), the ranged crossbow (Archer), and magic (Magician). These choices will also determine your stat allocation, which is automatic. Unfortunately, the only real control you have over your character's customization is allocating skill points.
The game begins you with a good tutorial, although the hint window was usually unnecessary, and often behind the times. Be prepared for a lot of poor English; some translations are so bad you can only get the general gist of what you're supposed to be doing. Once the tutorial is finished, you'll be set on a boat with Captain Haribo and arrive in the City of Dusk, the main area of the game. From here, the choice to quest or grind is yours, although quests do give bonus experience and money.
Beginning the keyboard workout
All combat takes place in small dungeons, which are instanced to you and your party. These are larger maps separated into several linked "stages," each of which must be cleared to go from one stage to the next. Each stage is a small area in which you control your character and use attacks plus skills to defeat all the enemies present, which often include a mix of melee, ranged, and casters. Special mobs are denoted with a special circle at their feet, as are bosses, which will be found on the last stage of an area (entered through a red, instead of a blue, portal). When the stage is complete, you'll receive experience and a ranking, the latter of which is based on your style, technique, and times you were hit. The better the rank, the better your experience and loot. Come to think of it, the progression in Battle of Destiny is nearly identical to the linear progression in Lunia Online.
Of course, all this fighting is going to require a lot of keyboard use – including hitting your attack button as often as possible (holding it down does not achieve the same effect). Thankfully, the game does allow for you to set up a joystick or other controller, but your fingers are still going to be getting a hefty workout through each dungeon. This is a good sign, though – gameplay is active and fun. What makes the instanced dungeon system so nice, though, is that you can play in short bursts, if you do need to rest your weary fingers.
Gearing up the gear
Like most other MMOs, Battle of Destiny also has an inventory and equipment system to boost your character's abilities and defenses. Unlike most, however, you won't see your character appearance change very often with gear – even through several sets of upgrades, my archer was still wearing the same red martial arts digs she got off the boat with. This doesn't mean you won't ever see your character look cooler (in fact, there are a great number of armor sets that do just that), but it does mean you'll have to be used to looking vanilla. Your only option outside of armor upgrades for looking cool is the fashion system, if you're willing to spend money in the cash shop or get very lucky with a drop.
Items are not static entities; they can be upgraded in two ways. The first is Item Activation. This system is free for items under level 30, but does cost varying amounts afterward based on item quality and level, and requires Activation Powder. By activating equipment, you unlock any special qualities that may have been hidden on the equipment, as well as reveal its true appearance on your character. Even at higher levels, activation can't fail, so it's one upgrade worth doing for any equipment you have.
The second way of upgrading equipment is through Item Enhancement. This process requires money, an Enhancement Stone, and preferably a Strengthen Stabilizer. Enhancement will increase the item's attributes if successful, but will destroy the equipment and the enhancement stone if it fails. It's a gamble no matter what, and while you can reach +30 enhancement to a piece of equipment, it's going to take a lot of bravery to go that far. The only way to prevent the item loss is with the stabilizer, which will prevent the item from being destroyed.
There's also one other system you'll stumble across early in the game: the "Pet Club" lucky draw. By chance of drops, and by turning in certain amounts of items found in dungeons, you can earn Lucky Vouchers. These Vouchers can then be exchanged in town for a chest which opens up to reveal a surprise. This can be anywhere from a simple, common drop, to gold, to something rare – so you can't guarantee what you're getting. Still, you're going to pick up a lot of these items in dungeons anyway, and they don't sell well, so you might as well exchange them and see what luck you might get.
Real fighters PvP
It would be silly for any arcade-style fighting game, even an MMO, to not have a chance for players to duke it out with each other. Thankfully, Battle of Destiny has recognized this, and has offered players two options – duels and world dungeons.
Duels are a fantastic way to pit yourself against a player on friendly terms. By inviting a player to a duel while in town, you and the accepting opponent will be transported to a special map to see who will win. But before you think it's all a matter of one versus one, be forewarned: any team mates with you, or your opponent, will be transported as well. This means battles can leave you with surprising fights of one versus three, since you can't know for sure who, if anyone, is teamed up with your opponent.
Your other option for PvP, and the more exciting one, is the World Dungeon system. World dungeons are special maps that aren't instanced. Not only are these maps shared with other players, but anyone can attack and kill anyone else in the world dungeon maps, team mates being the only exclusion. A death in these maps also means you risk losing a piece of equipment. So why bother going? The monsters are tougher, and that means they have much better loot – even if you're competing for it. This system is a nice touch, adding something that will make players want to PvP.
Final Verdict: Good
Although my first impressions of Battle of Destiny were simply a poorly translated Dungeon Fighter Online clone, I found the combat more enjoyable, and the PvP systems a great addition to the game. Though it could use a lot of fine tuning for an English audience, the game is balanced well and offers a lot of fun options for any player new or experienced to an arcade-style fighter.

When is a Situation an Emergency?
Generally, it is an injury or illness that occurs unexpectedly and is life threatening or could cause serious harm to a person. Here are some guidelines to help you determine if an emergency situation exists:
1. An emergency situation is when a person becomes suddenly ill or injured and must have immediate medical attention or else his/her condition may worsen and possibly result in death.
2. If you believe that an emergency situation does exist, do not hesitate to get medical help. Types of emergency situations include the following:
• chest pains
• poisoning
• heart attack
• strokes
• car accidents
• choking
• breathing difficulties
• drownings or near drownings
• burns
• overdoses
• head, brain or spinal cord injuries
3. Any severe stomach or chest pains may be a sign of an impending emergency.
4. Any cut that bleeds profusely or uncontrollably needs medical attention.
5. Any injury that results in broken bones, sprains and bad bruises should be checked by a doctor as soon as possible.
6. If someone regains consciousness after being unconscious for any length of time, the person still needs to get medical assistance.
7. If a person needs medical service late at night, early in the morning or on a holiday and his/her physician is not available, the person should go to an emergency department.
What to Do When Someone Needs Help
If an emergency situation does occur:
1. Do not panic. It is important to stay calm in any emergency.
2. Check to see if the victim is breathing. If the victim is not breathing, call for help.
• If you know mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or CPR and are alone with the victim who is not breathing, perform resuscitation procedures until medical help arrives.
• If someone is with you, whoever is more familiar with resuscitation procedures should help the victim while the other person goes for help.
3. If the victim is unconscious and breathing, call for help.
4. If the victim is conscious, make the victim as comfortable as possible.
• Make the victim stay calm and rest.
• Assure the victim that you will go for help.
• Call for help. Dial 911.
5. If the victim has swallowed poison, follow instructions on the poison container on what to do if poison is ingested. Remove any residual poison from the victim's mouth. Call for help. Bring the container to the emergency room so that the staff can readily identify the substance and treat the patient accordingly.
What to Do When Waiting for Help to Arrive
After calling 911, it takes about 10 minutes for medical help to arrive, depending upon the location of the victim. Here are some tips on how you can help the victim while waiting for professional medical assistance to arrive.
Watch for the Ambulance
If possible, have someone watch for the ambulance to direct it to the victim's location.
Handle with Care
Anyone with suspected broken bones or neck or back injuries should not be moved until an ambulance, rescue person or someone with experience is at the scene. If you must move the person because of dangerous surrounding conditions, immobilize his head, neck and shoulders and move him with minimal movements.
Stop Any Bleeding
Wrap a clean cloth or bandage around a bleeding wound and apply direct pressure on the cut. Elevate the injured area, if possible, above the heart level. Ice maybe used to decrease swelling.
Relieve first and second degree burns (blistered and/or reddened skin) by placing the burned area in cool water. Cover the burn with a clean cloth. Chemical burns caused by solutions such as acids or drain and toilet bowl cleaners should be washed off the skin with lots of cool water.
Look for Shock
If the face is drained of color, skin is cold and moist and the pulse is weak, rapid and faint, the person may be in shock. Wrap the victim in blankets or clothing, make the victim lie down and elevate the feet, unless doing so will make other injuries worse. Keep the victim calm.
Broken Bones
Do not let the victim move around. Broken bones underneath the skin may lacerate an artery or cause more damage if the victim is moved by inexperienced people. However, if surrounding conditions are life-threatening, the victim must be moved with or without a splint which can be made from a broomstick, tightly rolled newspaper or other firm object.
Turn the victim face down, allow only a few seconds for lungs to drain. If the victim is breathing, coughing and sputtering, the victim will be able to eject the remaining water. Stand by to see that recovery continues. If the victim does not breathe after allowing the water to drain, turn the victim over and make sure his airway is clear, then begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or use CPR if there is no pulse.
Kuakini's Emergency Services Department
A trip to the emergency room may be a time of anxiety and panic, especially when it is your first visit. Should an emergency situation arise, please seek the medical expertise that is available at a hospital's emergency room.
Kuakini Medical Center's emergency services department includes observation and specialized treatment rooms for cases involving trauma, cardiac, orthopedic, ear, eye, nose and throat problems. The rooms are equipped with various life-saving machines, medicines, special trauma stretchers and even an incubator.
Whether the emergency is a car accident, household accident, heart attack or an infection, a qualified staff which includes an emergency medical physician is always available to help, 24 hours each day of the year. Specialty physicians are also available on-call.
After treatment, patients who may need home care information receive instructions on follow-up care - what to do after leaving the hospital.
At times the quickest way to get a patient to a hospital or to reach an injured person may be by air. Emergency cases can be transported directly to Kuakini by helicopter; a helipad is located on Kuakini's campus.
Kuakini's emergency room is equipped and ready to provide professional emergency room care when you need it.
When someone needs immediate medical care, you may be the only one around who can assist the victim. Time is crucial. By knowing what to do and what not to do when an emergency occurs, you may be a life saver.
If you don't know how to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or CPR, you should learn these procedures as soon as you can.
Keep a file or small notebook with important medical information about family members in an easily accessible drawer or area in case it is ever needed. Let others in your family know where the information is kept. Bring it with you to the emergency department.
Share this with your family and friends. Prompt emergency care may mean the difference between life and death for someone you know.
(This information should not replace professional medical assistance. It is provided to inform and help you in an emergency situation while awaiting an ambulance or the fire/rescue team).

Police converge at Peirce Island in connection with missing UNH student
Saturday, October 13, 2012
PORTSMOUTH — Portsmouth and state police were converging on Peirce Island Friday night in connection with the investigation into the disappearance of University of New Hampshire student Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott.
Marriott was residing with her aunt and uncle in Chester and commuting to UNH before her disappearance.
Police have informed Marriott's family that the recipient of the text message was one of Marriott's female friends in Westborough, according to uncle Anthony Hanna.
Marriott told her friend she was leaving UNH at 9 p.m. and heading to the home of another female friend in Dover, but never arrived, Hanna said.
On Friday evening, a Dover Police Department crime scene investigation van and two police cruisers were seen parked outside an apartment on Mill Street. Residents said police had been there for most of the day, and had spent time looking around a nearby dumpster.
Police at the scene declined to comment on what they were searching for in the area.
Hanna said Marriott's phone sent two more transmissions on Tuesday evening: one at about 9:30 p.m., and another at about 10:10 p.m. The last reached a cell phone tower in Dover.
Marriott failed to show up for work at the Target in Greenland, N.H., on Wednesday, and has not attended UNH classes since Tuesday. The last update on her Facebook page was sent via mobile device on Monday, Oct. 8.
Hanna said there has been no activity in Marriott's bank accounts since Tuesday, and her car has not been located. Marriott was driving a 2001 tan colored Mazda Tribute with a New Hampshire license plate 3045397. The car was not found at UNH, Hanna said.
Family members have called around to local hospitals, but none have reported any contact with Marriott, Hanna said.
"At this point we're actively trying to find the car, find her, and hoping that everything comes out positive," he said.
Marriott is 5 feet 5 inches tall, and weighs about 130 pounds. She has blond hair and blue eyes.
Marriott was studying marine biology, according to her uncle. She attended Manchester Community College her freshman year before transferring to UNH this year. She was living with Hanna this year and commuting to save money, he said.
Marriott had volunteered as a guide at the New England Aquarium in Boston for the last four years, according to aquarium spokesman Tony LaCasse. She started working there in January 2009 as part of the aquarium's "World of Water" training program for teenagers. LaCasse said she became knowledgeable about the aquarium and worked her way up to guiding tour groups faster than most people her age.
As a high school student, Marriott spent Saturdays volunteering at the aquarium, and continued to work there through August of this year, donating an estimated 400 hours of volunteer work to the organization, LaCasse said.
"Everybody described her as very consistent, very reliable," he said. "Just, you know, very steady."
Hanna described his niece as an "all-around nice kid," who was quiet and loved to read.
"She's a very nice person," he said. "She's a very pretty girl, which is — she's also, I would say, a little bit young and naive. When you're at that age, life is great and everyone's your friend. She's a very trusting person. But (she has) a good outlook on life."
Young asked anyone with information that could help in the case call state police at 603-271-3636.
Democrat Staff Writers Oliver Jenkins and Samantha Allen and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Phoronix: X/Wayland Is Coming Along Nicely, But Work Is Left
Keith Packard spoke on Wednesday of the 2012 Linux Foundation Collaboration concerning Wayland and its backwards compatibility support for X applications...
It will provide a more direct path to the rendering hardware instead of having to go through X. it just opens a display and puts up a GL context and pushes frames (i think)
actually most problems with video in linux are not inherently because of x.org. they are because the driver's suck. but yeah, I want to go into time and see when linux desktop has a mature audio/video stack.
Will wayland be FULLY backward-compatibile with X11, a drop-in replacement, or should we rather expect some degree of compatibility with well-behaved applications unless they rely on API x or depend on some behaviour of API y?
I'm not a big fan of the throwing out of babies with the bath water that sometimes happens in the open source world.
I'm a bit disappointed that Michael - a self proclaimed open source advocate - has an Iphone
Wait just a second. Did you say iPhone?
Damn. If there was something to make sure even less people want Wayland it's making it depend on systemd.
Open Source advocates generally prefer whatever software does the best job, believing that Open development processes produce better software. The iOS hardware and OS still beat the Android OS (which is also not fully Free) and other OSes hands-down (a bit subjective, yes, I admit), so even if Open Source is better in general, in the specific case of phone OSes the proprietary iOS may (again, somewhat subjectively) still be the better choice for real-world products.

|A Note on Conjectures of F. Galvin and R. Rado
In 1968, Galvin conjectured that an uncountable poset $P$ is the union of countably many chains if and only if this is true for every subposet $Q \subseteq P$ with size $\aleph_1$. In 1981, Rado formulated a similar conjecture that an uncountable interval graph $G$ is countably chromatic if and only if this is true for every induced subgraph $H \subseteq G$ with size $\aleph_1$. TodorÄeviÄ has shown that Rado's Conjecture is consistent relative to the existence of a supercompact cardinal, while the consistency of Galvin's Conjecture remains open. In this paper, we survey and collect a variety of results related to these two conjectures. We also show that the extension of Rado's conjecture to the class of all chordal graphs is relatively consistent with the existence of a supercompact cardinal.

Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954. Internationally acclaimed for her poetry and fiction, she has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Lannan Literary Award and the American Book Award, and of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the MacArthur Foundation. Cisneros is the author of two novels The House on Mango Street and Caramelo; a collection of short stories, Woman Hollering Creek; two books of poetry, My Wicked Ways and Loose Woman; and a children's book, Hairs/Pelitos. She is the founder of the Macondo Foundation, an association of writers united to serve underserved communities (www.macondofoundation.org), and is Writer in Residence at Our Lady of the Lake University, San Antonio. She lives in San Antonio, Texas. Find her online at www.sandracisneros.com.
1. The epigraph is from a poem by Elena Poniatowska: "It's then I ask you, mama, my mother, my heart, my mother,/my heart, my mother, mama, the sadness I feel. Where do I put it?/Where, mama?" What does this tell us about the story to come?
2. "Every day I woke up and felt like a glove left behind at the bus station," the narrator says at the beginning of the book. What emotion is she expressing? Have you ever felt that way?
3. Ester Hernández, the illustrator, lost her own mother just before Cisneros approached her to collaborate on the book. Do you think it helped her in her grieving to create this art?
4. How do the illustrations reflect the emotions of the narrator and her friend and show us what they are feeling?
5. In addition to the narrator's loss of her mother and her friend's loss of Marie, several other characters in the book have experienced loss. Does it help them to know that others have suffered, too?
6. On page 42, the women encounter a neighbor who is sitting on her porch, knitting. It reminds the narrator of her mother, who "used to knit ugly scarves no one wanted to wear." Have you ever had a memory triggered by something like that? Why do you think our memories work that way?
7. Throughout the book, people promise to help in some way, but usually forget or become distracted. Why do people make promises they don't keep? What do you do when someone disappoints you like that?
8. The narrator says she feels like an orphan, though normally we think of orphans as children. In what ways is she an orphan? How would you try to help her feel better?
9. How does searching for Marie help her cope with her loss?
10. Towards the end of the story, the river, the wind, the trees, and the moon all speak to the narrator. How does this help her?
11. The Afterword opens: "In Mexico they say that when someone you love dies, a part of you dies with them. But they forget to mention that a part of them is born in you—not immediately, I've learned, but eventually, and gradually." Does this idea help you to feel better in thinking about people you've lost?
12. Later in the Afterword, Cisneros writes, "I wish somebody had told me that love does not die, that we can continue to receive and give love after death." Do you agree with her? Who has given you love, and to whom have you given it?
13. Cisneros also explains in the Afterword that "There is no getting over death, only learning to travel alongside it." What does this say about why she wrote this book and how we remember loved ones we have lost?
