At the end of a long day we could all use a fresh start—and the same goes for our hair. When product buildup and styling stress leave strands feeling and looking dull, this clarifying shampoo, subtly scented with white freesia, golden amber, and warm musk, gently cleanses without stripping moisture or color. Black currant and soy restore vibrancy, acai berry and vitamin C deliver youth-boosting antioxidants, oolong tea and Irish moss defend against environmental damage, and lemongrass and oatmeal gently cleanse and purify. This shampoo is also vegan-friendly and free from sulfate/sodium chloride and parabens.
Since this product doesn't have all the weird additives that other shampoos have (Parabens etc.) than it will take your hair a bit to get used to if you have been using normal shampoo. My hair got greasier a little faster than it would have, but once I used it a couple times my hair adjusted and felt healthy. Don't give up if it doesn't seem to clean well at first. Your hair just has to adjust to not being leached of its natural oils for so long.4
This is my first time using a clarifying shampoo. I'll switch my shampoos frequently an I don't use a ton of product in my hair daily to where I feel a "build up." It didn't seem to do or make my hair fell anything special. It smelled nice and lathered well. I seemed to need quite a bit for my shoulder length hair. I didn't use any conditioner after (as I do with my regular shampoo) and it didn't seem to dry out my hair, so that was good.3
I really like the Super Comb Prep & Protect from Number 4 Hair, so I was excited to try this product. I did feel it removed build up from my hair, but it also made my hair pretty flat. It also made my scalp itch! As with most sulfate-free products, it was also difficult to work into a lather and I had to use a lot of product to get sufficiently wash my hair.3

Preds lock up WHL scoring co-leader Brendan Leipsic
May 23, 2013, 9:25 PM EDT
The Nashville Predators signed Brendan Leipsic to a three-year entry-level contract on Thursday.
Leipsic, 19, tied for the WHL lead in scoring with 120 points (his Portland Winterhawks teammate Nicolas Petan shared the honors). The Predators made him their third-round pick (89th overall) in the 2012 NHL Draft.
If those numbers don't move you, Predators GM David Poile told the Winnipeg Free Press that his game compares to a Brad Marchand … and that was before his breakout season.
"He's a little bit (Jordin) Tootooish, a little bit Brad Marchand. I'm sure that the best description would be that he's not fun to play against, probably the opposition doesn't like him too much," Poile said. "This is the guy you love but they hate. Not big in stature but plays really tough."
Knowing the Preds system, it will probably take him some time to make a Marchand-type impact.

He's 19? Man, puberty is apparently in no hurry for this poor kid.
Of course, as long as he can play people will forget about his baby face very quickly.
- jernster21 - May 23, 2013 at 11:37 PM
The WHL isn't exactly AAA hockey. 120 points is insane. That's not going to directly transfer over to the pros – the Avs picked up Michael Sgarbossa in a trade with the Sharks who had 102 points, leading the OHL and isn't the biggest guy but I could see him making a pretty big impact in the future when paired with skilled players on the wings.
- JoeAvg - May 23, 2013 at 10:37 PM
Doesn't seem like he has the nose to be like Marchand. Got a profile pic?
- jernster21 - May 23, 2013 at 11:40 PM
Based on the picture he looks like he's wearing football shoulder pads, not hockey shoulder pads. Gotta love the kids that come into this league – I was freakin' clueless at 18 and starting college – can't imagine being 18, playing hockey for a living and making a crap ton of money while doing it.
- JoeAvg - May 23, 2013 at 11:57 PM
Well, they don't really make the big money till they crack the NHL. The minors don't pay much.
Up on housing project hill, it's either fortune or fame.
You must pick one or the other though neither of them are to be what they claim.

Sharapova's Early Aussie Exit Calls Nike Deal Into Question
Published January 19, 2010
|Sharapova Loses Five Days After
Signing Record Deal With Nike
FEELING BLUE: The AP's Tanalee Smith wrote Sharapova's "blue dress with a patterned green mesh overlay was the first of the new Maria Sharapova Collection, a line of Nike tennis dresses and two-piece sets available this year" that Sharapova helped design. Maria Kirilenko, who defeated Sharapova Monday, said of the dress, "It was blue, I think, like Powerade. It was a good dress. She always has nice dresses." Smith noted four other Sony Ericsson WTA Tour players -- Kai-Chen Chang, Julie Goerges, Anastasia Pivovarova and Madison Keys -- "will compete in Sharapova's designs this year" (AP, 1/18). YAHOO SPORTS' Chris Chase noted reviews of the dress "were on par with Sharapova's disappointing performance on the court" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 1/18).

Steampunk III: Steampunk Revolution Coming 12/1/2012
This third volume of the acclaimed Steampunk anthology series features an international cast of authors and a revolutionary take on the wonders of Steam. As steampunk continues to gain in popularity, these new tales and fresh tropes from established steampunk storytellers and new exciting talents reconcile Victorian pleasantries with passionate ideologies, reinvigorating the genre. Mad scientists, lethal assassins, and corseted adventuresses are joined by rebels from Haiti, literary squid, Karl Marx, and Bram Stoker. Rollicking adventures occur in the rugged frontiers of the West, the teeming cities of the Far East, the treacherous mountains of Iceland, and futures both dystopian and wondrous.
Join a daring English Adventuress on her quest to smuggle a stolen alien artifact past the German blockade, evading barbarian cultists and unspoken sexual tension with her rugged airship captain. Uncover the mystery of a dead and silent world as an aging politician finds peaceful retirement interrupted by a well-armed woman looking for answers. Travel with a lethal assassin of the Far East as she hunts an eccentric airship captain who is far more than he appears.
With something for everyone, Steampunk Revolution is the must-read anthology for steampunk enthusiasts as well as those new to the wonders of neo-Victoriana.
Ann VanderMeer is the Hugo Award–winning editor of Weird Tales and the publisher of Buzzcity Press, work from which received the British Fantasy, International Horror Guild, and Rhysling awards. An expert on Victoriana, she is the co-editor of the bestselling World Fantasy Award–nominated anthologies Steampunk and Steampunk II. Her other anthologies include the Best American Fantasyand Leviathan series, The Kosher Guide to Imaginary Animals, The New Weird, and Last Drink, Bird Head. Her most recent new project is the online magazine Weird Fiction Review, and she has been named Consulting Fiction Editor at Tor.com.

Yahoo usage drops big time in UK
Yahoo is losing ground in the UK. And its losing ground fast. Numbers released by Efficient Frontier show a decline in search advertising of no less than 40% in the final Quarter of 2008.
Where Yahoo had a market share of 13,9 percent in 2007 in 2008 the market share dropped to 8,4 percent. Google was the big winner growing from 82,6 percent to 88,2 percent.
The total spend on search advertising in the UK grew with 11 percent compared to the fourth Quarter of 2007. The research also shows that closing down the European Content Network by Yahoo, which was announced earlier this month, is not such a bad idea. There was no market share what so ever for the Yahoo Network, compared to 6% for Google.

Editorial: How to not stop whaling
Relevant offers
So the Sea Shepherd has caught up with the Japanese whaling fleet. Again.
And complained about the fleet illegally hunting whales. Again.
And countries opposed to whaling have endorsed the complaints. Again.
This annual scenario, running since 2006, is becoming tedious.
And counter-productive.
But first, some facts. Which is stumbling block number one. "Facts" vary depending on who you talk to.
The Japanese believe the 500 to 1000 whales they take each year is sustainable. The environmental group Sea Shepherd and Australia don't think it is. A report with the International Whaling Commission even suggests that minke whales are so abundant they could officially be hunted again.
Sea Shepherd says Japan's actions are illegal. But that isn't clear cut. A judgment in an Australian-led intervention before the International Court of Justice is yet to be delivered.
Sea Shepherd also claims Japan is fishing in New Zealand waters, but it isn't. The area concerned is within New Zealand's search and rescue jurisdiction, but nothing more.
New Zealand's opposition is not based on sustainability. Our stand is that whaling is pointless and offensive.
That view, Japan says, is culturally driven and racist. And it could be right.
If whaling really is offensive, why don't we make as much noise over the eating of dogs, cats or horses as practised in other countries?
Why don't we complain when Norway and Iceland also go whaling?
The view that it's pointless has more validity, for no one believes the whale hunt is driven by scientific research, and neither is all the whale meat caught eaten. Japan has stockpiles of it and in recent years has provided the meat to schools.
So why then does Japan continue to do what it does?
Most likely, the reason is cultural. It's called saving face.
So while indeed whaling may be pointless, Japan has to see a way to stop doing it on its own terms.
Chasing Japanese fishing vessels on the high seas and seeking redress in world courts seems exactly the wrong way to do that.

The Board of Directors of the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) representing national shipowners' associations from the Americas, Asia and Europe met in London last week.
Issues discussed included: the development by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) of a global mechanism for the Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of CO2 emissions; the entry into force of the International Labor Organization (ILO) Maritime Labor Convention (MLC); and ICS's response with respect to important changes to global accounting rules being proposed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
CO2 Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV)
The ICS Board reiterated ICS support for the development of a global system of MRV at IMO, provided that the mechanism is simple to administer, primarily based on fuel consumption and bunker delivery notes, and that the system itself will not be used for the development of a full blown Market Based Measure or a mandatory system of energy indexing for existing ships.
The ICS Board agreed that it will respond constructively to the proposal that has been submitted to IMO by the United States and which needs to be debated by all IMO Member States at the next meeting of the Marine Environment Protection Committee in April.
However, ICS Chairman, Masamichi Morooka, remarked that "ICS is very concerned by the recent proposal by the European Commission, to be put before the European Parliament, for a Regulation mandating a regional system of MRV. While the Commission has stated that it would prefer to see the development of a global system by IMO, we are unclear whether the Commission is sincere in its intentions or how the development of a regional mechanism, which also seems overly complex, can be reconciled with what we hope can be developed and adopted internationally."
Mr Morooka explained "We agreed the immediate priority for ICS is to prepare a global industry position that can be taken by shipowners to IMO. In order to support the maintenance of a global regulatory framework and the development of a mechanism that is acceptable to international shipping we want to help IMO make progress on MRV."
He added "Our members firmly believe that it is possible for IMO to develop a robust system of MRV whilst meeting the concerns of those developing nations that do not wish to compromise their positions at the high level climate change talks" in the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
In co-operation with ICS's Regional Partner, the European Community Shipowners' Associations (ECSA), ICS is also preparing detailed comments on the European Commission's proposals, so that EU Member States will be clear where shipowners stand.
ILO Maritime Labor Convention
The ICS Board expressed satisfaction with the entry into force of the ILO MLC, noting that ICS had co-ordinated the employers' group at the ILO diplomatic conference which adopted the new Convention in 2006.
While the IMO Secretary-General, Mr Koji Sekimizu, was again opening the ICS International Shipping Conference with a keynote speech, it was noted that the presence of the ILO Director General, Mr Guy Ryder, was also a great honour, signifying the importance of the ILO MLC and the model that it provides for other industrial sectors for the promotion of decent employment standards at the international level.
It was agreed that through its member national associations ICS would remain in close contact with Port State Control authorities around the world in order to avoid misunderstandings that might arise during the initial stages of enforcement.
ICS urged governments to take a pragmatic approach towards the enforcement of what were complicated new certification requirements until August 2014, in line with a Resolution adopted by the ILO Conference in 2006.
The ICS Board commended the advice that ICS has prepared for ship operators to help encourage compliance, and emphasised the vital need for ship operators to prepare a Declaration of Maritime Labour Compliance (DMLC) as required by the ILO Convention – see www.ics-shipping.org/ilo-mlc
International Accounting Standards
The ICS Board endorsed the position adopted by the ICS Maritime Law Committee with respect to the latest draft of the new international accounting standards proposed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
It was agreed that ICS would continue to oppose the notion that operational arrangements such as time charters should be treated as financial leases for accounting purposes and that ICS would press for further clarity from the IASB with respect to the new definitions being proposed.
The ICS Board agreed that it was most important that national shipowner associations presented the IASB with consistent messages on this issue in dialogue with their national accounting authorities and with auditing firms.
ICS will be submitting its final comments to the IASB within the next few days.

[0001] This invention relates to network technologies and, more particularly, to a system and method for resizing the bandwidth of a physical link based upon the utilization of the link.
[0002] Real-time delivery of media over communication networks, such as the Internet, consistently strains network operators' ability to reliably and efficiently deliver data in a timely manner. The proliferation of data intensive services, such as streaming audio and video media, Internet content delivery, video conferencing and other services, often creates transmission capacity shortages on many types of networks. The proliferation of high bandwidth end-user equipment, such as digital subscriber line technologies and cable modems, demonstrates the consumer demand for broadband services continues to grow and further exacerbates shortage of network capacity related problems such as latency issues and delivery failures. Communication carriers continue to upgrade backbone and switching systems. However, the growth in media demand is often outpacing network operators ability to upgrade network transmission capacity.
[0003] Communication carriers often lease network lines, or portions of the capacity thereof, to corporate subscribers. Various services have been introduced to satisfy different customer needs. Best effort services are deployed for customer transmissions that may be categorized as low priority and not adversely effected by transmission delays. Best effort transmissions across a medium may be preempted by higher priority data and may be delayed until sufficient network capacity exists. High priority transmissions may have dedicated portions of a transmission medium, such as a fiber optic medium, statically allocated and dedicated to particular types of data transmissions such as video conferencing. The bandwidth allocated may be set-aside and unavailable for other data transmission types such as email or Internet content delivery. By dedicating a portion of a transmission medium capacity, the customer knows precisely how much data may be delivered at a given moment and allows the customer to plan and allocate data transmissions accordingly. However, services having a statically allocated bandwidth often result in network under-utilization. For example, a customer leasing a transmission medium and subscribing to a statically reserved service class may frequently not perform transmissions across the portion of the medium dedicated to a particular transmission class. At other times, transmissions across the statically reserved portion of the medium may only consume a fraction of the bandwidth that is reserved. The remaining portion of the reserved bandwidth is then idle and represents an under-utilization of the medium capacity. During the times when the reserved bandwidth is not utilized or is under-utilized, other lower-priority transmissions may be preemptively delayed or dropped although the totality of data being transmitted by the medium is less than the full capacity of the medium.
[0004] It may be seen from the foregoing that a system and method for providing resizing of the bandwidth of a physical link based upon the utilization of the link is desirable. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a network operable to allocate a link on a communication medium and resize the bandwidth of the link based upon utilization thereof is provided. A communication link having a first bandwidth is allocated. Utilization of the link is monitored and the link is resized according to the utilization of the link.
[0005] In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a method of resizing a link in a communication medium is provided. A link having a first reserved bandwidth is allocated. The link is monitored and utilization of the link is determined. The link is resized according to the monitored utilization. A second link is then allocated and includes a portion of the first reserved bandwidth.
[0006] For a more complete understanding of the present invention, the objects and advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following descriptions taken in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
[0007]FIG. 1 is an exemplary network on which the present invention may be implemented;
[0008]FIG. 2 is a communication medium that may support one or more channels between nodes terminating the medium;
[0009]FIGS. 3A and 3B are a communication medium at different stages of channel allocation therein;
[0010]FIG. 4A is a communication medium with reserved channels and utilization thereof as allocated according to the prior art;
[0011]FIG. 4B is the communication medium of FIG. 4A with reserved channels and utilization thereof as allocated according to the teachings of the present invention; and
[0012] FIGS. 5A-5E is a communication medium in various scenarios of channel allocation and deallocation thereon according to the teachings of the present invention.
[0013] The preferred embodiment of the present invention and its advantages are best understood by referring to FIGS. 1 through 5 of the drawings, like numerals being used for like and corresponding parts of the various drawings.
[0014] In FIG. 1, there is illustrated an exemplary network 100 including nodes 10-12 interconnected by communication links 15A-15C. Network 100 may be implemented using any suitable transmission technology. In one embodiment, network 100 is a fiber optic network and, accordingly, nodes 10-12 may be implemented as optical transport network nodes although the particular transmission medium is irrelevant with regard to the scope of the invention. While the present invention contemplates an implementation on an optical network, the invention as described herein is not intended to be limited thereto and, accordingly, network 100 may be any type of network capable of making data transmissions across a communication medium terminated by two nodes, for example node 10 and 11. Thus, implementation of the present invention may be made in any number of network configurations, for example a ring network 100, a mesh network, etc. Furthermore, the communication medium need not be a 'land line,' as the present invention may find application on a radio frequency medium such as a wireless data network, a mobile communication network, etc.
[0015] Network 100 may employ a management node, such as management control system (MCS) node 30, that may be in communication with one or more nodes 10-12. Control of various network 100 functions may be facilitated through MCS 30. Link allocation and deallocation on mediums 15A-15C may be directed by MCS 30 as well as enforcement of network 100 policies. Link utilization monitoring is performed by the present invention by gathering link usage metrics and link resizing is directed by MCS 30 as is described more fully hereinbelow.
[0016] In FIG. 2, there is illustrated a communication medium 200 that may support one or more channels between nodes terminating medium 200. Medium 200 has a maximum available bandwidth capacity that may be defined by the physical limitations of medium 200 and/or by the limitations of the nodes terminating medium 200. The bandwidth of medium 200 is partitionable into one or more channels, or links, each having a respective bandwidth that may be allocated for making data transmissions and/or time division multiplexed traffic on the channel(s) between the nodes terminating medium 200. A channel allocation may be made upon a request for a transmission or, alternatively, a reserved channel may be allocated on medium 200 and the reserved channel bandwidth of the allocated channel may be reserved on medium 200 for any future transmission requests. Channel allocations may be partitioned as well. While the invention described herein provides resizing of allocated channel bandwidth, the invention may be applied to resizing of channel partitions as well.
[0017] Various classes of services may be defined that prioritize transmissions across a particular channel. Service classes facilitate quality of service guarantees and enable a network operator to levy various fees for different priorities and network resources that are provided to a subscriber. For example, a reserved channel class may be defined and include a guaranteed bandwidth that is available on medium 200 at all times. Accordingly, bandwidth of a reserved channel includes a portion of medium 200 capacity that is unavailable to other classes of service and other channel allocations. In general, a reserved channel is a static allocation of a predefined bandwidth and may be used for transmission types that are latency-sensitive, for example audio-video streaming such as teleconferencing. Another exemplary class of service is a best effort channel class. In general, a best effort channel is allocated upon transmission request and is not guaranteed to be immediately available, that is allocation of a best effort channel class may be made any time after a transmission request and when medium 200 capacity is available. A best effort channel may be used for low priority transmissions that are not generally latency-sensitive, for example email transmissions.
[0018] Medium 200 includes a portion 200A having a reservation bandwidth that is reserved and thus unavailable for transmissions external to reserved channel 210. The remaining, unreserved portion 200B may be used for allocating other channels. As additional channels are allocated, the unreserved portion 200B is reduced by a corresponding amount. For example, reserved channel 210 has a reserved bandwidth (RBW) that, when allocated, is removed from availability for transmissions external to transmissions made over reserved channel 210. Thus, allocation of reserved channel 210 reduces the capacity of medium 200 available for other channel allocations by an amount equal to the RBW of channel 210.
[0019] A best effort channel 220 may be allocated upon a request identified as a best effort request. Allocation of best effort channel 220 may be limited to an upper bandwidth limit and may be preempted by other channel allocations. Best effort channel classes may include various sub-classes that allow preemption of other, lower-subclasses of best effort channels.
[0020] The present invention provides a modification to a reserved channel class, and channels allocated according to the teachings herein are referred to as a dynamic reserved channels, and has a resizable reserved bandwidth. The bandwidth of a dynamic reserved channel is resizable based upon the dynamic reserved channel utilization. Statically allocated reserved channels frequently result in under-utilization of medium 200 resources. Often, a reserved channel may have no transmissions made therethrough. At other times, a reserved channel may be carrying transmissions that only consume a fraction of the bandwidth reserved therefore. Lower priority requests are often denied, or alternatively granted at a lower bandwidth, although medium 200 is carrying data at a portion of the overall capacity thereof due to reserved channel allocations that are under-utilized. The dynamic reserved channel class improves capacity utilization of a medium by allowing portions of the bandwidth of a dynamic reserved channel 230 to be "borrowed" by reservation of additional channels based upon an observed utilization of the dynamic reserved channel thereby reducing the size of the bandwidth allocated from a medium's unreserved bandwidth.
[0021] In FIG. 3A, there is illustrated communication medium 200 having reserved channel 210 allocated therein. Medium 200 has a maximum bandwidth capacity of BWC. Reserved channel 210 is statically allocated and has a reservation bandwidth of BWR1. Accordingly, the unreserved bandwidth (Bu) is equal to the bandwidth capacity (BWC) of medium 200 less the reserved bandwidth of channel 210. Bu thus represents the available capacity of channel 210 that may be used for allocating another reserved channel or lower priority best effort channel allocations.
[0022] With reference to FIG. 3B, there is illustrated medium 200 after another reserved channel 211 having a reservation bandwidth of BWR2 has been allocated. Upon allocation of channel 211, the unreserved bandwidth of medium 200 is equal to the bandwidth capacity of medium 200 less the sum of reserved bandwidths of reserved channels 210 and 211, that is Bu=BWC−(BWR1+BWR2). Bu represents the available bandwidth capacity of medium 200 that may be allocated for additional reserved channels or other lower priority best effort channels. Allocation of reserved channels and/or best effort channels may continue until the bandwidth capacity of medium 200 is consumed by the totality of the bandwidth of all channel allocations.
[0023] In FIG. 4A, there is illustrated medium 200 with reserved channels 210 and 211 each having a respective reserved bandwidth BWR1 and BWR2 allocated thereon and including a representation of an exemplary utilization of channels 210 and 211. Prior art techniques for channel allocations include static reservations and best effort channel allocations. When a channel is allocated that has a statically reserved bandwidth, that particular bandwidth is effectively removed from the available capacity of the medium regardless of the usage thereof. For example, allocation of channel 210 removes a bandwidth BWR1 from the available capacity of medium 200. This bandwidth is reserved and unusable by other channels regardless of the usage of channel 210. For example, the actual throughput of channel 210 may at any time range from zero up to the reserved bandwidth BWR1. In the present example, channel 210 has an actual observed usage bandwidth (Bo1) 210A that is less than the reserved bandwidth BWR1. Allocation of another channel 211 then reduces the available medium 200 capacity by an additional amount equivalent to its reserved bandwidth BWR2 regardless of the actual utilization, or observed bandwidth (Bo2), 211A thereof. A result of static allocations of reserved channels is often an under-utilization of medium 200 capacity. For example, the combined observed bandwidths (Bo1 and Bo2) of reserved channels 210 and 211 may be a fraction of the combined reserved bandwidths (BWR1 and BWR2) that is removed from the overall available unreserved bandwidth Bu of medium 200.
[0024] The present invention defines a new class of service referred to as a dynamic reserved channel that may "borrow" allocated capacity from another dynamic reserved channel and "loan" reserved bandwidth to another dynamic reserved channel based upon the utilization of a reserved bandwidth of the dynamic reserved channel. In FIG. 4B, there is illustrated medium 200 having a dynamic reserved channel 250 allocated therein according to the teachings of the invention. Medium 200 has a total bandwidth capacity of BWC. Dynamic reserved channel 250 is allocated and has a reserved bandwidth of BWR1. An observed bandwidth (Bo1) is monitored and provides a measurement of the utilization of dynamic reserved channel 250. Upon request for an allocation of another dynamic reserved channel 251, an evaluation of any unused reserved bandwidth (referred to herein as Bx) of any other dynamic reserved channel is made. In the present example, dynamic reserved channel 250 has a bandwidth of (BWR1−Bo1) that is reserved but unused. This unused reserved bandwidth (Bx) may then be "loaned" to dynamic reserved channel 251 upon request for a bandwidth reservation for allocation of channel 251. In this case, dynamic reserved channel is said to "borrow" the Bx, or a portion thereof, of channel 250. This is figuratively illustrated by the overlap between dynamic reserved channels 250 and 251. If the requested bandwidth for dynamic reserved channel 251 exceeds the Bx of dynamic reserved channel 250, an additional reservation of bandwidth from medium 200 capacity may be made in the amount the requested allocation exceeds the available Bx. In the present example, dynamic reserved channel 251 has a reserved bandwidth of BWR2 and, thus, an amount BWR2−(BWR1−Bo1) is newly reserved from the available unreserved bandwidth capacity of medium 200 (referred to herein as Bu) that, in addition to the Bx of channel 250, fulfills the requested bandwidth BWR2 of channel 251 allocation. If, on the other hand, the requested bandwidth BWR2 for allocation of dynamic reserved channel 251 is less than the Bx of dynamic reserved channel 250, the entirety of channel 251 may be allocated within the Bx of dynamic reserved channel 250.
[0025] The present invention may better be understood with reference to FIGS. 5A-5E and TABLE A that summarizes various channel allocations made on a communication medium 300 according to the teachings of the invention. Medium 300 of the present example has a bandwidth capacity (BWC) of 2000 Mb/s. Accordingly, prior to allocating any channels on medium 300, an unreserved bandwidth of 2000 Mb/s exists on medium 300 (cell A2). Preferably, various tracking variables that facilitate resizing of links are maintained within the network that includes medium 300 and, accordingly, an unreserved bandwidth tracking variable Bu indicates 2000 Mb/s of unreserved bandwidth existing on medium 300. The various tracking variable may be maintained by a management node such as MCS 30. An allocation request for dynamic reserved channel 310 of 500 Mb/s is first requested (cell B1) and made (cell B4). The unreserved bandwidth (Bu) available on medium
[0026]300 is reduced by an equivalent amount of the dynamic reserved channel bandwidth and reduces the unreserved bandwidth (Bu) to 1500 Mb/s (cell B2). Cell B6 indicates that the entirety of the allocation for the dynamic reserved channel was made from the unreserved bandwidth (Bu) and is further clarified by cell B7 that indicates the change in Bu, in this case by −500 Mb/s.
[0027] The allocated bandwidth of dynamic reserved channel 310 may be resized according to a monitored utilization of channel 310 as summarized by column C of TABLE A. In the present example, the dynamic reserved channel has an observed bandwidth (Bo) 310A of 200 Mb/s (cell C13), or a utilization of 40% (cell C12) and thus an unused reserved bandwidth (Bx) of 300 Mb/s (cells C3 and C14) across medium 300 exists. The monitored utilization may be obtained by various usage metrics periodically obtained by an MCS in communication with one or more of the nodes terminating medium 300.
[0028] With reference to FIG. 5B, a request for allocation of another dynamic reserved channel 311 having a reserved bandwidth of 100 Mb/s is made (cell D1). An evaluation of the unused reserved bandwidth is made and indicates an unused reserved bandwidth of 200 Mb/s (cell D3) exists in medium 300. Thus, the entirety of the requested 100 Mb/s of bandwidth of the second channel may be borrowed (cell D5) from the unused reserved bandwidth Bx (as illustratively denoted by cross-hatches). An accumulation of the requested reserved bandwidth is calculated (cell D4) and includes the 500 Mb/s of bandwidth requested for channel 310 and the 100 Mb/s of bandwidth requested for channel 311. The accumulation of the requested bandwidth is 600 Mb/s although, due to the bandwidth borrowing mechanism of the invention, only 500 Mb/s of bandwidth has been allocated from medium 300 unreserved capacity (cell D6). An accumulation of the borrowed bandwidth is made and is indicated by cell D8 to be 100 Mb/s. Thus, a bandwidth request for allocation of a channel may be fulfilled by bandwidth that has previously been reserved but that has been determined to be unused. A tracking variable is preferably employed that monitors the accumulated amount of bandwidth that has been determined to be reserved but unused and subsequently included in allocation of an additional channel/s. This tracking variable is designated TB in TABLE A.
[0029] With reference to FIG. 5C, an allocation request for another dynamic reserved channel 312 having a bandwidth of 400 Mb/s is made (cell E1). An analysis of the unused reserved bandwidth Bx indicates that, prior to allocation of channel 312, 200 Mb/s of unused reserved bandwidth remains (cell D3). Accordingly, allocation of the channel 312 includes borrowing the remaining 200 Mb/s (as illustratively denoted by cross-hatches and an increment of 200 Mb/s of tracking variable TB) of unused reserved bandwidth from channel 310 resulting in zero unused reserved bandwidth (cell E3). The remaining 200 Mb/s required to fulfill the bandwidth request for allocation of channel 312 is allocated from the unreserved bandwidth of medium 300 resulting in a 200 Mb/s decrement from the unreserved bandwidth (Bu) (cell E7) and results in 1300 Mb/s of bandwidth remaining that is unreserved (cell E2). The reserved channel bandwidth tracking variable (R) is incremented by 400 Mb/s upon allocation of channel 312 and results in a total bandwidth of 1000 Mb/s cumulatively reserved for the channel class although only 700 Mb/s of medium 300 capacity has been physically allocated (cell E6).
[0030] Continuing with the present example, channel resizing is again performed and includes analyzing channel utilization of allocated channels 310-312. In the present example, an observed bandwidth indicates that 500 Mb/s of bandwidth is being utilized (cell F13), that is a 50% utilization of the 1000 Mb/s of reserved bandwidth (cell F12) of all allocated channels as illustrated in FIG. 5D. A total of 700 Mb/s of allocated bandwidth has thus far been made on medium 300 (cell F11). Of the 700 Mb/s of allocated bandwidth, an observed bandwidth Bo of 500 Mb/s indicates that 200 Mb/s of bandwidth has been physically allocated but is not being utilized (cells F3 and F14). Accordingly, after calculation of the utilization of channels 310-312 as summarized in column F of TABLE A, 200 Mb/s of bandwidth is available for borrowing by additional channel allocations (column F3).
[0031] With reference to FIG. 5E, a request for deallocation of channel 310 is next made that deletes channel 310 from medium 300 and includes a corresponding decrease of 500 Mb/s of reserved bandwidth on medium 300 (cell G1). The resulting unreserved bandwidth of medium 300 is 1500 Mb/s (cell G2). The total reserved bandwidth for the remaining allocated channels 311 and 312 is 500 Mb/s (cell G4) which is fully allocated from medium 300 capacity, that is none of the reserved bandwidth is borrowed after deallocation of channel 310 (cell G5). Notably, the bandwidth that has been borrowed is recovered by the remaining allocated links before any bandwidth of a channel being deallocated is returned to the unused capacity of medium 300. Additionally, it is preferable that the allocation of channels is limited to bandwidth reservations not to exceed the bandwidth capacity of the medium 300 regardless of the amount of bandwidth that is available for borrowing. By limiting the reserved bandwidths of allocated channels to the bandwidth capacity of medium 300, one or more links having an increase in the utilization thereof that have previously been determined to be underutilized and subsequently resized by loaning bandwidth thereof to another channel may be resized by re-appropriating loaned bandwidth from a link borrowing bandwidth to a link that has loaned bandwidth. A tracking variable may be used to maintain a record of the total bandwidth requests (R) of channels as they are allocated. This tracking variable records only the initial bandwidht request made when allocating a particular channel and does not increase or decrease as bandwidht is borrowed or loaned to other channels. Accordingly, the value of the total bandwidth requested tracking variable preferably does not exceed the bandwidth capacity of medium 300.

Google maps marks Artsakh as Nagorno Karabakh Republic, irks Baku
June 19, 2014 - 15:41 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan is in the throes of another fit: Artsakh was indicated on Google maps as the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.
The fact outraged Baku which hurried to call the move as Google's "another provocation against Azerbaijan."
The Republic Seismological Service Center under Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) "raised the alarm" on the fact.
"We are concerned about such provocations against Azerbaijan and its territories by the international search system and the RSSC strongly condemns such provocative changes against our country on the map," the Center said, according to APA.
APA further noted that this is not the first "provocation" committed by Google: "Such cases took place earlier as well."
The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan
The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan broke out as result of the ethnic cleansing launched by the Azeri authorities in the final years of the Soviet Union. The Karabakh War was fought from 1991 (when the Nagorno Karabakh Republic was proclaimed) to 1994 (when a ceasefire was sealed by Armenia, NKR and Azerbaijan). Most of Nagorno Karabakh and a security zone consisting of 7 regions are now under control of NKR defense army. Armenia and Azerbaijan are holding peace talks mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group up till now.

The resolution urges Turkey and Armenia to "use the centenary of the Armenian Genocide to renew diplomatic relations."
The fish and the caviar will hit the markets in three and five years respectively, Golden Fish representatives said.
The OSCE Mission conducted planned monitoring of the line of contact between the NKR and Azerbaijani armed forces.

British Doctors Favor Withholding Medical Treatment For Smokers and the Obese
eugenedw, posted on May 02, 2012
I don't know much about Britain, but I am going to assume that just as here in South Africa, cigarettes are heavily taxed, ostensibly to help pay for the costs of treating patients with smoking-related diseases. Can we assume that if such patients will no longer receive treatment, that the state will also cease the taxation of tobacco?
Yes, it's a rhetorical question... :-)

My folks in southern Kentucky thought it was fall-on-the-floor hilarious when I was targeted in 1996 by U.S. Customs officials on my return from an academic trip in Europe.
I was wearing an awesome pair of black, leather Spice Girl boots I had scored in London and a long, black coat to match. While waiting for my bags, about half a dozen Customs staff surrounded me and began rapid-fire trivia questions about my alleged home state.
Once I opened my mouth, they seemed to relax. I thought I looked...

Literary gossip has been flying most of August about the arrest of Georgia author Joshilyn Jackson, award-winning author of Gods in Alabama and her current release Between, Georgia.
On August 10th, two police officers from Austell, Georgia, pulled Joshilyn Jackson from a van full of Sunday School teaching materials, handcuffed her, impounded her car, and took her to jail. Seems her maiden name was on her Social Security card and her driver's license had her married name. She had updated her SS...

I am working on a private project. Have you ever reported a crime to the police, but they refused to take a report? If so, has this happened within the past one year?
Would you be willing to tell your story? Would you be surprised to learn there are many others just like you out there? Let's open up this can of worms.
Thank you.

Jeremy Piven won an Emmy Sunday night for his role as superagent Ari Gold on the HBO show Entourage, his second Emmy nod for the role.
But the role that turned him from character actor into Emmy winner was put in jeopardy when he was fired by Vincent Chase on the season finale.
The worst part of it all was that Ari turned into the same corporate jerk that Vince wanted to avoid. When the boy's second meeting of the day was a mirror-image of the first, it was worth a laugh. But when Ari's...

August rushes by like desert rainfall,
A flood of frenzied upheaval,
But still catching me unprepared.
Like a matchflame
Bursting on the scene,
Heat and haze of crimson sunsets.
Like a dream
Of moon and dark barely recalled,
A moment,
Shadows caught in a blink.
Like a quick kiss;
One wishes for more
But it suddenly turns to leave,
Dragging summer away.

My mom IM's me on AOL and tells me to check out the news and look at what's happening. I'm already there and strapping on the last black combat boot in my barracks room. BDUs on and ready step out of of the door when I see the speck in the background. A circle with a line in it was all it was until it grew into focus...

Dear ,
City officials
I personally feel that when you all take something away from the young people in Savannah that its only right to replace it with something constructive for them to do. Most of our crimes are done by most of the young people in savannah thats not a secret. The young people of savannah need activities they can relate to like basketball teams formed in the areas of town for those children that otherwise don't have anything to look forward to after school. The main attractions...

RATINGS: 75 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.57 SEASONAL: Autumn IBU: 41 EST. CALORIES: 321 ABV: 10.7%
Apis IV pours dark brown with hues of orange and red, a thick creamy off-white head, and traditional Belgian lacing. The beer has notes of bread, dark plums, figs, molasses, and honey, balanced by light earthy and floral hop aromas. The beer starts out on the pallet with caramel, honey, dark fruits and a rounded floral bitterness, with spice notes from the Belgian yeast strain we use in this beer brewed in the Trappist Belgian Dark Strong Ale tradition. Look for a medium to heavy mouthfeel with high carbonation and slight alcohol warming. This beer is perfect for cellaring and its complex flavors will mellow out and blend overtime.

Camell-Ebony Sibling character descriptionsDavey, the one who cried: In terms of age, Davey is the oldest. He had the looks and intelligence as if born with these traits. Though, having blessed with these traits never struck him. He took on all the weight on his shoulders because he thought that was his role. No, he knew that was his role. He would be the toughest and retort against anyone whenever they'd try to get close to Kuomu or Zy. Davey protected his siblings even if it meant his own life… even if his heart may have been the weakest. Either way, he did not want to risk losing any other family member again. Not ever.Camell-Ebony Sibling character descriptions by LiquidyLiquids
Zy, the one who stood his ground: Zy is the middle child and didn't necessarily serve a purpose to the 3, although, he does have a beautiful creative side. Regardless, he had a disposition with Davey for he had everything he did not have and somewhat distanced him from the 2. It made his relationship somewhat vague and foggy with Davey but especially with Kuomu, as she really loved both Dave
TodayLet me tell you a story.Today by LiquidyLiquids
Today, I finally got into contact with a person quite dear to me after about a year's cut off.
No communication, no physical appearance.
We haven't spoken for 1 year.
Today, I finally got to speak to her.
And it made me realize something so important,
Something such as a person's presence can mean so much to someone.
What is the meaning of having someone be there for you?
It's unbelievably strong,
I can assure you that.
Within the 1 year we haven't spoken,
Within that single year,
I didn't notice how much one person could go through.
How one person can change,
Can grow.
I didn't know how much one can experience in 1 year.
I didn't think about it until today.
And today, I feel that I should've been there.
I feel that,
In that 1 year I could've,
Changed her.
I could've been by her side,
I could've lent my ear,
My shoulder.
I could've been there.
But I wasn't.
I didn't know how much a person's presence could mean to someone
Until today.
