My Rating
This was an excellent tour,led by our English speaking guide, Miguel. His knowledge of the Mayan culture, history and archeology was immense. It did rain for almost the entire time, but somehow that didn't matter much to me. They sold cheap rain ponchos at the entry way to Tikal (20 Q). It is highly likely that I will return someday for a longer tour, and perhaps stay in Flores for several days, rather than try to squeeze it into one day. This was spectacular.

When parents, teachers, lawmakers and communities debate over which part of the American education system should receive the most scrutiny or support, adult education, specifically General Educational Development (GED), is rarely in contention. Conceptually adult education programs serve those who depart school without diplomas and are now seeking a credential to access the workforce or postsecondary opportunities.
Recent Articles
Over the past couple of years the censoring of self-expression has been a hot topic on many campuses. Recently the media washed ashore a new wave of controversy concerning Hampton University's business school policy that restricts MBA students from wearing their hair in locs (or what is more commonly referred to as "Dread-locs"). This comes on the heels of the brouhaha that developed following the implementation of a written dress code policy at Morehouse College.
In recent years the higher education community has focused more on the role institutions' play in student success. For a long time the blame for failure has been laid squarely at the feet of students. If a student dropped out of college it was assumed that they were unmotivated, under-prepared, or lacked the aptitude required to be a college graduate. The fact that dropouts were admitted meant that they somehow fell through an admissions crack undetected.

Help alleviate pain and heal your body naturally.
If you're looking for a way to alleviate pain from sciatica or lower back pain due to an injury or muscle strain, Spafinder Wellness 365 has tons of partners that offer chiropractic services to help relieve your discomfort. Using hands-on manipulation, chiropractors properly align your skeletal structure allowing your body to heal itself without surgery.
Know Before You Go
Before you go for an adjustment, your chiropractor will have a consultation with you to evaluate the best course of action. During a typical adjustment, you will lie face down on a padded table and the chiropractor will then use his or her hands to push your joints beyond their typical range of motion. You will likely here popping or cracking sounds as this happens.

Will the approach to great salt pond be safe, seems like it would be on the lee of the swells/wind...
I gotta tell you, I would not be be planning to make this passage with the current forecast. It does not sound like you have a good grasp of the area or the conditions that the area can produce. If there are 30 knots of onshore wind with a hurricane-induced swell running, you don't want to be out there.
Please read the top part about wave height. This is the offshore forecast but is closer to what will be happening in Block I Sound and vicinity.

This was printed directly from the negative that was recently found. A very rare image, never before offered from Bert Stern.
Bert Stern (American, born 3 October 1929) is a fashion and celebrity portrait photographer who is best known for The Last Sitting, a collection of 2,600 photographs taken of Marilyn Monroe over a three day period, six weeks before her death, shot for Vogue magazine. In his book Marilyn Monroe: The Complete Last Sitting, published in 1992, he recounted being enchanted by her until a near-intimate encounter after the second day of shooting; he then realized that she was deeply troubled. He also directed Jazz on a Summer's Day, a 1959 documentary film set at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival. In 1999 the film was deemed "culturally significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. Stern worked as a photographer on the film Lolita, directed by Stanley Kubrick with a screenplay by Vladimir Nabokov, and shot the publicity photographs of Sue Lyon. He has photographed Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Drew Barrymore and Lindsay Lohan (recreating The Last Sitting), among others, in addition to his work for advertising and travel publications. Stern is divorced from the ballerina Allegra Kent. (wiki)

Government to infuse P5 B into state TV network
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—More than two years after rescuing it from "financial hemorrhage," the government is infusing P5 billion into the state-run People's Television Network 4 to make it "digitally competitive.''
President Aquino has signed into law Republic Act 103901, or the Act Revitalizing PTV Inc., authorizing the infusion of fresh capital into the government TV network.
The government would pump in P3 billion from the national budget beginning 2014, and source the P2 billion from the privatization of Radio Philippines Network (RPN 9) and Intercontinental Broadcasting Corp. (IBC 13).
Apart from authorizing the infusion of fresh capital, the law allows PTV 4 to collect advertising revenues, said Secretary Herminio Coloma of the Presidential Communications Operations Office.
"The objective is really to upgrade our equipment so that we are able to increase the clarity of our signal and the clarity of transmission to all places in the country," he said at a Malacañang news briefing. "We are committed to doing what is needed in order that our technical capability will be of such level that it allows us to make effective transmissions to the farthest corners of the Philippines.''
But Coloma stressed that PTV 4 would focus on news and public information, and would not attempt to compete with the commercial TV networks.
If it airs a telenovela, it would be about the life of a recipient of the Medal of Valor, Gold Cross or Dangal ng Bayan, he said.
Coloma said PTV-4 was "hemorrhaging'' and surviving on doles from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office and the Philippine Gaming and Amusement Corp., and President's discretionary funds when the Aquino administration took office in July 2010.
It was supposed to get some P200 million in a "congressional insertion" in 2010 but then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo vetoed it because there was no funding source, he said.
"There was an initial capitalization of P1 billion and, by the time we took on management of the network in July of 2010, the financial hemorrhage had already taken place and the capitalization of the network had been fully depleted. That means its treasury had no money,'' he said.
The government has "good leads'' on personalities who played a role in the depletion of the network's funds, Coloma said.
The law, which amends Republic Act 7306 or the Charter of the People's Television Network, also allows the TV network to generate funds from advertising and airtime sales.
The network would retain all fees or other revenues it is able to collect for its programs and capital expenditure.
With regard to its powers, the network is authorized to raise, borrow or obtain funds from the government or private sector, whether local or international, and enter into credit deals subject to the approval of the Monetary Board of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
Its original charter allowed it to collect commercial revenues for only up to 10 years to prevent it from competing with commercial networks.
It's also mandated to provide "subsidized airtime" to people's organizations and non-governmental organizations in the promotion of their programs.
"I would like to emphasize this: We would like to assure our friends in the private sector that we will not compete directly with them because our programming will focus on news and public information. If we look at the fare being offered by commercial media, it is primarily entertainment. I think more than 50 percent of their programming is entertainment," he said.
As part of the reforms, RA 103901 creates an advisory council to propose and recommend policies on its operation, programming, broadcasting and production, among others.
"The purpose of this council is to advise the network on relevant programming that will bolster the character of PTV as a public service broadcasting network. What is public service broadcasting? This is the global best practice that replaced the concept of state media or state-controlled television," Coloma said.
"With the enactment of the new PTV law, we hope to broaden the participation of the citizens in having a network that will mirror their aspirations. We want to invite the various sectors to give concrete suggestions on programs that will be beneficial to the community and to society," he added.

Unemploymement Up In State
By KWGS News
Undated – The Unemployment rate in Oklahoma ticks up. The rate for September was released today.
The report indicates that five-point-nine percent of the population is out of work. That compares to August when the rate was five-point-six percent.
The rate has been increasing since May, but it is still well below the national average of just over nine percent.

This was great! Not just great, but "So cool!" great. Fred Van Lente is having fun with this project and it shows. He also dropped a BIG bomb here that will set us up for some future payoff within the rest of the Valiant Universe.
Emanuela Lupacchino is a strong artist. She moved the story along and kept me engaged every step of the way. I don't know who's idea it was for this cover, but it's now one of my favorite covers of all time.
These Valiant books may not be so much fun after 40 plus years of history behind them, but they sure are exciting and fun right now. Every month every one of these is right up on top of my 'To be read' list.
Star Wars #2 by Brian Wood and Carlos D'anda was better than the first issue. It's still a "meaty" book, so there's no doubt anyone would feel like they got their money's worth here. I also felt like the story itself was less clunky than the last issue.
The art still had one or two weak spots but that wasn't enough to detract from the overall enjoyment of the whole project. This has left me really looking forward to the subsequent issues.

Letter: NRA and its ilk
Ed Feldman, Bonita Springs
NRA and its ilk
The recent surge of inflammatory messaging from the National Rifle Association and its supporters has exceeded the limits or credibility.
In particular, I refer to the most recent onslaught of propaganda which attempts to place the blame for gun deaths at the hands of the mentally ill and blames violent images in games and movies as contributory factors.
Over the last several decades this country has dismantled its public, taxpayer-funded, mental health care system as a result of unwillingness to support it through tax dollars. To suggest that we now institute enormous mental health care overhauls is ludicrous and disingenuous, unless of course the NRA would be willing to set up a foundation to support and fund these overhauls. After all, I would assume that the NRA and its ilk would certainly not want it to be a program run by the federal government
And this is to say nothing about identifying who is "mentally ill" and who makes that determination.
One last thought: other countries have access to the same violent games and movies we do, yet the murder-by-gun rate is significantly lower.
Why? Fewer and more difficult access to guns — period.

A look at a company that changed the world
The grandma check is a cherished tradition

The credit rating of
AutoZone, Inc.
's (
) senior unsecured debt has been raised one notch to "Baa1" from
"Baa2" by Moody's Investors Service of
Moody's Corporation
). Additionally, the rating agency affirmed the ratings on the
Prime-2 commercial paper. The outlook for both the ratings is
Moody's started the review of AutoZone's ratings for upgrade
on Dec 16, 2013. The upgrade of the rating is a result of that
review. The "Baa1" rating is three grades above speculative-grade
or junk status.
The credit ratings are based on the strong business prospects
of AutoZone due to rising age of vehicles and increase in miles
driven. The company has the best margins among its peer group and
management maintains the debt-to-EBITDA ratio at the targeted
level. Moreover, Moody's expects AutoZone to supervise store
spending to keep the stores at par with its peers.
The stable outlook was based on Moody's' belief that AutoZone
will be able to maintain its strong credit profile and manage its
share buybacks to maintain the current level of liquidity.
Moody's might upgrade AutoZone's ratings if the company
maintains its EBITA/interest ratio at 8 times and debt/EBITDA
ratio at 2.25 times while ensuring strong liquidity. On the other
hand, if EBITA/Interest ratio sinks below 6 times, debt/EBITDA
ratio falls below 3 times or liquidity position of AutoZone
weakens, then a rating downgrade is possible.

UPDATE: Singapore artist Lee Wen cannot remember details of 'attack'
Published on May 18, 2014 2:22 AM
Hong Kong - Singapore performance artist Lee Wen is in hospital here after blacking out on Saturday evening in a university toilet and waking up with abrasions on his face.
A scan has found no blood clots, and he is being warded overnight for observation.
Speculation has been rife on Facebook that the artist was attacked after he expressed concern at an arts forum here about Tiananmen soldier-turned-artist Chen Guang. Chen was arrested by Beijing this month after he privately staged a work of performance art to commemorate the 1989 Tiananmen incident.
His gallerist Helina Chan of the iPreciation Gallery told The Straits Times early Sunday morning that Mr Lee could not recall if he indeed had been beaten up.

The study determined that Stevens Square residents spend about $4 million annually on pets. But with no veterinary clinics in the immediate area — and with a significant proportion of Stevens Square residents not owing cars — neighborhood pet owners typically walk downtown or Uptown to see a vet.
Steve Gallagher, executive director of the Stevens Square Community Organization (SSCO), said he and other neighborhood leaders initially hoped to locate a veterinary clinic in the old Acadia Café building at the northeast corner of Franklin & Nicollet, but that hope was dashed when it became clear that making the corner building handicapped accessible would be prohibitively expensive.
Ultimately, the property adjacent to CVS Pharmacy on the southeast corner of Franklin & Nicollet proved to be the best fit — but unfortunately, that side of Franklin is actually in Whittier, not Stevens Square.
"It's disappointing that we couldn't find a spot within the neighborhood, but we're still going to take credit for recruiting the business and I know they will be a part of our neighborhood too," Gallagher said.
Pet Doctors will be run by Dr. Joyce Tesarek, owner of Minnehaha Veterinary Hospital in the Northrop neighborhood since 1983, with Dr. Jerri Smith serving as lead veterinary.
The clinic will offer basic wellness care, grooming supplies and services, pet food, acupuncture and chiropractic procedures, and hospice care. Surgeries and other major procedures will be done at Minnehaha Veterinary Hospital.
While construction won't be completed until early June, Pet Doctors already does house calls. And for a limited time, Tesarek has elected to waive the $50 travel fee to encourage pet owners to give them a try.
"The goal is for this clinic to be a place people can walk to, with supplies and food at affordable prices. We'll try and figure out what the neighborhood wants as we go," Tesarek said.
Pet Doctors is slated to open on June 13.
New "Co-working" spaces open
The recession and slow economic recovery have forced many people to rethink the way they work. Many former full-time employees have made the switch to freelance work or self-employment, either out of necessity or opportunity. One of the biggest challenges for such individuals is finding a place to work.
They will have two new options soon.
Two separate organizations have announced workspaces that are available to individuals or small groups to use as needed, both of which are pitching their spaces as more than just a place to work. They're being sold as spaces where people can come together to collaborate, share ideas and experience the benefits of an office without the expense.
CoCo Minneapolis will open on July 5 on the historic Trading Floor of the Minneapolis Grain Exchange, 400 S. 4th St. This is the second location for CoCo, which has another location in St. Paul. The Minneapolis location was launched in partnership with Project Skyway, Minnesota's first "tech accelerator" program, which provides resources and capital to early-stage tech companies.
Another co-working location called WorkAround recently opened at 210 N. 2nd St. It offers work space, meeting rooms, high-speed Internet and other amenities in the North Loop neighborhood.
Co-founder Buffie Blesi says that one of the factors that sets WorkAround apart from other co-working spaces is that each membership package includes business coaching from her other company, The KnowledgeSphere of Advicoach business consulting.
Both co-working spaces offer membership packages that range from limited use to permanent spaces. For information on CoCo Minneapolis, visit cocomsp.com. For information on WorkAround, vist facebook.com/workaround.
Two new vintage stores open during Art-A-Whirl
NORTHEAST — With the increased foot traffic in the area during Art-A-Whirl, the weekend of May 20–22 was a great time to open a business in the Arts District. Two new vintage stores opened in Northeast during the weekend, each with a different focus.
In the Arts District, Northeast Vintage opened its doors at 1627 Washington St. NE, and co-owner Martine Lizama is very pleased about the launch.
"The weekend was awesome," says Lizama. "It definitely helped that we are right by the Casket Arts Building."
Northeast Vintage specializes in used and vintage clothing from the 1980s and 1990s, but also features some unique offerings. Jewelry designer Lizama is also selling her Imelda line at the store, which has been available at Cliché in Uptown for the last three years. But the most distinctive portion of Northeast Vintage's inventory has to be the selection of animal bones and skulls, which includes everything from small animals like squirrels up to massive cow skulls.
At Central and 33rd, Hill Valley Boutique opened on the same day in a new space that was once part of Lily's Café. While the main area of the building has been taken over by the ALM Corner Café, the side rooms and patio have been taken over by the boutique, which owner Elizabeth Tanberg hopes will become a center for the community. She plans to use the patio space to hold swap meets, musical performances and other events.
Along with vintage clothing, Hill Valley Boutique offers new and consignment clothing and jewelry and collectibles such as a functional Mario Bros. arcade game.
Maeve's Café opens late June
SHERIDAN — When Mary Colon closed the Audubon Café on Johnson Street last year, she promised to return as quickly as possible with a new venture. That new business, Maeve's Café, 300 13th Ave. NE, took a bit longer to open than planned — Colon hoped to open in March. But after a preview event during Art-A-Whirl, Colon is targeting a June 20 opening.
Colon says that Maeve's will focus on local fare with nods to the various ethnic groups that historically settled in Northeast, and will offer up both alcoholic and coffee drinks. Maeve's will serve coffee from B&W Specialty Coffee Co., sandwiches from Rustica, and plans to offer simple, affordable fare that will help Maeve's grow into a neighborhood gathering spot.
Solera reveals summer events
HENNEPIN — Now that summer has arrived, Solera Restaurant and Event Center, 900 Hennepin Ave. S, has revealed a few special events for the season. The restaurant has kicked off its summer movie program, with a new movie shown each Wednesday at dusk on the restaurant's rooftop. The program runs through the end of September. Check Solera's Facebook page for titles and dates.
On June 12, Solera will also hold a suckling pig event, featuring a special locally sourced menu developed by executive chef Jorge Guzman and guest chef Michael Phillips of Green Ox Foods. The event will also feature live music and beer from Fulton Beer, who will present at the event.
The family-style dining event is limited to 50 guest and costs $65 per person. For reservations, call Solera at 338-0062.
• TE Miller Development is looking to building a six-story, 96-unit market rate apartment complex behind Tower Lofts at 710 N. 2nd St. The developer is actively seeking input on the project from residents of the surrounding buildings, but was not available for comment.
• Outta Place Tattoo has opened at 3305 Central Ave. NE in a space formerly occupied by another tattoo shop, The Scarlet Harlot. Shop owner Jason Solarz focuses on custom tattoo work and is open by appointment only.
• Plans for the proposed Lunds at 12th & Hennepin have been revealed. The plan calls for a 9,000-square foot-grocery store with an outdoor patio and office space on the upper floors. The plan also calls for a 5,639-square-foot liquor store at 1208 Harmon Place. Lunds hopes to begin work on the project in the fall and open spring 2012.
• The newly renovated Caterpillar Lounge is now open inside Tom Pham's Wondrous Azian Kitchen, 533 Hennepin Ave. S. The intimate club space once housed inside the Azia Restaurant and reopened in its current location shortly after that restaurant closed.

Adam Baker thought he'd be home next week, but will instead serve 30 days in Caldwell County jail.
Baker, the father of slain 10-year-old Zahra and an Australian citizen, was expecting to return home next week, but will now serve jail time after being convicted of misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon in Caldwell County Thursday evening.
Baker's appearance and conviction in Caldwell County court followed a successful plea deal in Catawba County Thursday morning.
Catawba County Schools' spelling bee was finished in near record time, and there was a little controversy involved before the Maiden High School auditorium.
Mill Creek Middle School eighth-grader Savannah Clay correctly spelled "auditorium" and then "controversy," to claim the school system's spelling championship. She'll now advance to the regional competition in Charlotte on Feb. 20.
Clay defeated first runner-up Snow Creek Elementary student Catherine McMahan, who missed the correct spelling for "flouride."
There were 11 murders in Catawba County in 2011. There were five murders countywide in 2010.
Authorities say the increase could be due to several factors, but is not abnormally high or reflect a negative trend.
The Catawba County Sheriff's Office handled seven murders in 2011, compared to three in 2010.
Sheriff Coy Reid said his office deals with three to six murders each year. He said he didn't think the 2011 increase in murders reflect a bad trend or growing crime presence, but rather thinks it was a reflection of the type of crimes that were committed.
A Maiden man and his son helped stop a fire Thursday just before it destroyed his parents' home.
Nathan Painter and his son, Joseph, arrived at his parents' home on the 1800 block of P.L. Propst Road in Maiden about 1 p.m. Thursday to a large fire burning in the house's front yard.
A barn, located behind the home, caught fire just minutes before, and the blaze had now spread to the front yard.

CHARLOTTE — The North Carolina woman sentenced to prison for killing her 10-year-old disabled stepdaughter also pleaded guilty Thursday to a federal drug charge.
Prosecutors agreed to drop six other charges after Elisa Baker entered the plea in U.S. District Court in Charlotte to one count of conspiracy to sell drugs. She faces up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million dollar fine at her sentencing, which hasn't been scheduled yet.
Prosecutors say that between 2006 and 2010, Baker helped distribute more than 50,000 painkillers and anti-anxiety pills in Catawba and Caldwell counties.
The father of 10-year-old Zahra Baker is expected to be deported soon after his Catawba County felony charges were dismissed this morning.
As a result of a plea deal entered today, Adam Baker's felony charges of obtaining property by false pretenses and identity theft were dismissed. He pleaded guilty to taking electricity unlawfully and will be required to pay restitution of almost $350, which he paid this morning.
He also received a sentence that included unsupervised probation for the guilty plea on the misdemeanor charge.
It is time for Catawba County property owners to pay up or pay interest. Property taxes are due today. Pick up Thursday's edition of The O-N-E to find out how to make your tax payment without waiting in line.
Zahra Baker's father, Adam, is expected to enter a plea deal on felony charges today. Visit www.observernewsonline.com for details about the deal as soon as it is announced.
Just a week shy of its conference opener against rival St. Stephens, Fred T. Foard showed Wednesday it's ready for the challenge.
The Tigers (18-1) lost only one of their 28 total matches against East Burke and Lincolnton, topping both squads in dominating fashion.
Coach Mike Carey said his team is preparing for its upcoming conference slate.
"We're tuning up for St. Stephens next week," he said. "That's kind of our mindset right now. We're getting ready for conference."
The Bandys girls basketball team continued its early season roll, knocking off Bunker Hill in Catawba on Wednesday.
The Lady Trojans (13-0, 4-0) quickly jumped out to a 28-2 lead in the first quarter and never looked back, continuing their undefeated streak so far this season.
Three Bandys basketball players reached double-digits in scoring, including sophomore Madi Story, who led the team with 19 points.
Taylor Sigmon and Brittany Moss also scored 11 points each.
Margaret Connor scored 11 points, while Wilbelis Rojas added nine points for the Lady Bears (0-13, 0-4).

The town of Lansing recently earned a historic distinction from the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission.
This past February, the Lansing Board of Aldermen sent a proposal to the Wildlife Resources Commission, requesting it be designated a "Mountain Heritage Trout Water City." According to an email from board member Dylan Lightfoot, the town won approval from the Wildlife Resources Commission at the commission's meeting on July 9.
The Mountain Heritage Trout Waters program is a cooperative effort between the Wildlife Resources Commission and local governments to encourage trout fishing as a heritage tourism activity in western North Carolina cities that are designated as "Mountain Heritage Trout Water" cities.
Lansing joins 11 other cities designated as such, including Bakersville, Burnsville, Dillsboro, Maggie Valley, Newland, Old fort, Spring Creek, Spruce Pine, Sylva, Waynesville and Sylva.
"The trout waters program was started by the state legislature in 2008," Doug Besler, Mountain Region Fisheries Supervisor with the Wildlife Resources Commission, said. "It's specifically designed for a community that has a trout stream in it or adjacent to it."
In recent years, the Wildlife Resources Commission has opened up much of Big Horse Creek, which runs alongside downtown Lansing, for hatchery-supported trout fishing.
"The idea is to generate tourism to provide an inexpensive option for anglers who might not otherwise afford or necessarily need an annual license," Besler said.'
The designation will allow tourists or locals to purchase a fishing license that is valid for three days and costs $5. The license permits the licensee to fish in hatchery-supported, delayed harvest waters only, however.
"Once they purchase it, it allows them to fish that section," Besler said. "It's an inexpensive license to fish at that location."
Besler said that from an agency perspective, management of the waters won't change because of the designation, and anyone who possesses any type of valid North Carolina fishing license can still fish those waters.
"We believe that by having this designation, it may improve tourism," Besler said.
For more information on the Mountain Heritage Trout Waters Program, visit www.ncwildlife.org.

[Page 2]
Internet Draft draft-minei-diffserv-te-multi-class-02.txt June 2006 1. Definitions For readability a number of definitions from [RFC3564] are repeated here: Traffic Trunk: an aggregation of traffic flows of the same class [i.e. which are to be treated equivalently from the DS-TE perspec- tive] which are placed inside a Label Switched Path. Class-Type (CT): the set of Traffic Trunks crossing a link that is governed by a specific set of Bandwidth constraints. CT is used for the purposes of link bandwidth allocation, constraint based routing and admission control. A given Traffic Trunk belongs to the same CT on all links. TE-Class: A pair of: 1. a Class-Type 2. a preemption priority allowed for that Class-Type. This means that an LSP transporting a Traffic Trunk from that Class-Type can use that preemption priority as the set-up priority, as the holding priority or both. 2. Introduction [RFC4124] defines the protocol extensions for setting up diffserv- aware traffic engineered LSPs. An LSP set up according to [RFC4124] carries traffic from a single diffserv class and is set up along a path that satisfies the bandwidth constraints specified for this class. In this case, a single Class-Type is configured per LSP. In the rest of this document such an LSP is called single-class diff- serv-TE LSP. Note that from a diffserv point of view, a single-class LSP can be either an L-LSP or an E-LSP (as defined in [RFC3270]). In some scenarios it is required to allow traffic with different diffserv behaviors to be mapped to the same LSP and to traffic engi- neer the LSP according to the bandwidth constraints for each one of these classes. In this case, multiple Class-Types are configured per LSP. In the rest of the document such an LSP is called a multi-class diffserv-TE LSP. From a diffserv point of view, a multi-class LSP is always an E-LSP. An example scenario for multi-class LSPs comes in the context of ATM trunk emulation using MPLS LSPs. In this case, it is preferable to have all the traffic classes following the same path and exhibit the same behavior in case of failure. Another application of multi-class diffserv-TE LSPs is for reducing Minei, et al. [Page 3]
Internet Draft draft-minei-diffserv-te-multi-class-02.txt June 2006 the number of LSPs in a network by setting up reservations for sev- eral classes in one LSP rather than one reservation per class. With single class LSPs, the total number of LSPs in the network is equal to the number of classes times the number of LSPs in the mesh. With multi-class LSPs, the total number of LSPs is equal to the size of the LSP mesh. The reduction in the number of LSPs is important from a scaling and manageability point of view. Here are a few observations regarding single-class and multi-class LSPs: o An LSP that is signaled using the extensions defined in this doc- ument is not required to request bandwidth from multiple Class- Types. As a special case, when the request is from a single Class-Type, the LSP behaves as a single-class LSP and from a diffserv point of view can be either an L-LSP or an E-LSP. There- fore, conceptually, multi-class LSPs are a superset of single- class LSPs. o In order to achieve bandwidth reservation from several traffic classes, two approaches can be taken: 1) create one multi-class LSP or 2) create several single-class LSPs. Note however that the two approaches have different properties in terms of: the number of LSPs established, the path that is taken by traffic belonging to different classes and the fate sharing between the different classes. The choice of single-class or multi-class LSP is made based on the requirements of the application and on the network design. o Both single-class and multi-class LSPs must integrate smoothly with non-diffserv-te LSPs. 3. Setup and holding preemption priorities As per existing TE, multi-class LSPs can be configured with a setup and holding priority, each with a value between 0 and 7. The combi- nation of the setup priority and each of the Class-Types for which the multi-class LSP is set up and of the hold priority and each of the Class-Types for which the multi-class LSP is set up, MUST be such that together they form one of the (up to) 8 TE-Classes configured in the TE-Class Mapping. This requirement is similar to the requirement spelled out in [RFC4124] regarding the combination of priority and class-type for single-class LSPs. Minei, et al. [Page 4]
Internet Draft draft-minei-diffserv-te-multi-class-02.txt June 2006 4. Setting up multi-class RSVP-signaled LSPs 4.1. The extended classtype object To request LSP setup along a path with bandwidth constraints from more than one Class-Type, a new object is defined, the extended- classtype-object. This object has a class_num that ensures that a node that doesn't recognize it will reject it and return an "Unknown Object Num" error. According to the guidelines in [RFC3936], the val- ues used are class_num 124 and "class class_type" 1. The contents are a set of subobjects, each encoded as a TLV. 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Subobjects | . ... . . ... . . ... . +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ A TLV has the following format: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type | Length | MBZ | CTi | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | BW requested for CTi (32-bit IEEE floating point number) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Length: 16 bits The length contains the total length of the subobject in bytes, including the type, length, mbz, CTi fields. The length MUST be at least 8, and MUST be a multiple of 4. Type : 8 bits The type of the contents of the subobject. Currently defined value is 1 - bandwidth MBZ: 3 bits This field is reserved. It must be set to zero on transmission and must be ignored on receipt. CT : 3 bits Minei, et al. [Page 5]
Internet Draft draft-minei-diffserv-te-multi-class-02.txt June 2006 Indicates the Class-Type. Values currently allowed are 0, 1, 2, ... , 7. Note that this is different from the definition given in [RFC4124] where the value 0 is not allowed. BW requested : 32 bits Indicates the number of bytes (not bits) per second that need to be reserved for the CT indicated. 4.2. RSVP signaling The extended-classtype object is signaled in the PATH message, and saved in the PSB at every hop. The extended-classtype object MUST NOT be included in a RESV message. The format of the Path message is as follows: <Path Message> ::= <Common Header> [ <INTEGRITY> ] <SESSION> <RSVP_HOP> <TIME_VALUES> [ <EXPLICIT_ROUTE> ] <LABEL_REQUEST> [ <SESSION_ATTRIBUTE> ] [ <DIFFSERV> ] [ <EXTENDED_CLASSTYPE> ] [ <POLICY_DATA> ... ] [ <sender descriptor> ] <sender descriptor> ::= <SENDER_TEMPLATE> [ <SENDER_TSPEC> ] [ <ADSPEC> ] [ <RECORD_ROUTE> ] When the classtype object is present, the values in the tspec are ignored for admission control purposes and SHOULD be 0. Admission control is performed for the requirements specified in each of the (CT, BW) pairs in the extended-classtype object. Admission control succeeds only if the requirements for all the (CT, BW) pairs are satisfied. Merging MUST NOT be performed among reservations that belong to LSPs for which the extended-classtype object was signaled. If the extended-classtype object is not present in the PATH message, the LSR associates the LSP with CT0 and performs admission control from the bandwidth/priority values for CT0. In the case where the LSP is from a single class, and the class is CT0, the extended-classtype Minei, et al. [Page 6]
Internet Draft draft-minei-diffserv-te-multi-class-02.txt June 2006 object MAY be included in the PATH message. 4.3. RSVP error processing If the extended-classtype object is not understood, an "Unknown Object Num' error is returned. An LSR that recognizes the extended-classtype object and that receives a path message which contains the extended-classtype object but which does not contain a LABEL_REQUEST object or which does not have a session type of LSP_Tunnel_IPv4, MUST send a PathErr towards the sender with the error code 'extended-classtype Error' and an error value of 'Unexpected extended-classtype object'. These are defined below. An LSR receiving a Path message with the extended-classtype object, which recognizes the object but does not support the particular Class-Type, MUST send a PathErr towards the sender with the error code 'extended-classtype Error' and an error value of 'Unsupported Class-Type'. An LSR receiving a Path message with the extended-classtype object, which: - recognizes the object, - supports the particular Class-Type, but - determines that the tuple formed by (i)this Class-Type and (ii) the holding priority signaled in the same Path message, is not one of the eight TE-classes configured in the TE-class mapping, MUST send a PathErr towards the sender with an error value of 'CT and holding priority do not form a configured TE-Class'. For setup prior- ity, return 'CT and setup priority do not form a configured TE-class' The error checking ensures that multi-class LSPs get established only through LSRs that support multi-class diffserv-te LSPs and have con- sistent TE-mappings with the ingress. Errors related to the processing of the extended-classtype-object are reported using the vendor-specific Error-Code "extended-classtype- error" 252. The first four octets following the Error Value are 2636 - the vendor's SMI enterprise code in network octet order (as required by [RFC3936]) The error values are the same as defined in [RFC4124] for the classtype object. The values 3, 6, 7 are not used with multi-class- LSPs. Minei, et al. [Page 7]
Internet Draft draft-minei-diffserv-te-multi-class-02.txt June 2006 5. The extended-MAM bandwidth constraints model A new BC model-id is defined, the extended-mam bandwidth model, with value 254. The extended-mam model has the same behavior as the MAM model [RFC4125]. 6. IGP extensions [RFC4124] defines the bandwidth-constraint (BC) sub-tlv. The BC sub- tlv includes the bandwidth model and a list of bandwidth-constraints. In [RFC4124], the semantic of the "Unreserved Bandwidth" sub-TLV is changed such that the eight bandwidth values advertised correspond to the unreserved bandwidth for each of the TE-Class (instead of for each preemption priority as per existing TE). This approach has two drawbacks: o It creates a flag day in the network with regards to the existing TE LSPs set up without any diffserv properties, as explained in [RFC4124]. o It requires that LSPs from CT0 be set up at priorities such that the combination of (CT0, priority) is one of the configured TE- classes. Thus, the priorities asssigned to pre-existing CT0 LSPs use up some of the TE-classes. In the method documented here, when the bandwidth-model is extended- mam, the semantic of the "Unreserved Bandwidth" sub-TLV is the same as in existing TE and the bandwidth available per TE-class is adver- tised in the BC sub-tlv. This approach achieves the following: o There is no interference between the diffserv-aware LSPs and the plain TE LSPs o There are no migration issues when deploying this feature in a network where TE LSPs are deployed. o A total of 16 TE-classes are effectively created. 7. Migration issues Since the semantics of the "Unreserved Bandwidth" sub-TLV are main- tained unchanged, there are no migration issues when deploying multi- class LSPs in a network where traffic engineering is already in use. Single-class and multi-class LSPs cannot co-exist in the same net- work. When both the multi-class and the single-class functionality is required, the semantics of single-class LSPs can be provided by the multi-class LSPs. Minei, et al. [Page 8]
Internet Draft draft-minei-diffserv-te-multi-class-02.txt June 2006 8. Security considerations The same security considerations apply as for single-class diffserv- TE LSPs [RFC4124]. 9.
