Man Sleeping with Visible Brain : The sleep-wake cycle is an important circadian rhythm. When it is dark, the suprachiasmatic nucleus directs the pineal gland (located in another part of the brain) to secrete melatonin. This hormone peaks at night and ebbs during the day, and plays a key role in the sleep-wake cycle. Light disrupts melatonin production, and individuals who are exposed to too much light in the evenings, or who work the night shift, may experience problems sleeping as well as disruption in the menstrual cycle and other systems.
Melatonin, chemically N-acetyl-5-methoxy tryptamine, is a substance found in animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria. In animals, it is a hormone that anticipates the daily onset of darkness; however in other organisms, it may have different functions. Likewise, the synthesis of melatonin in animals differs from that in other organisms.
In animals, melatonin is involved in the entrainment (synchronization) of the circadian rhythms of physiological functions including sleep timing, blood pressure regulation, seasonal reproduction, and many others. Many of melatonin's biological effects in animals are produced through activation of melatonin receptors, while others are due to its role as a pervasive and powerful antioxidant, with a particular role in the protection of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA.
The hormone can be used as a sleep aid and in the treatment of some sleep disorders. It can be taken orally in liquid form as well as capsules or tablets in immediate- or prolonged-release form. It is also available in a form to be used sublingually, and as transdermal patches. Melatonin is sold over-the-counter in the U.S. and Canada. In other countries, it may require a prescription or it may be unavailable.

Banco Comunal Corazon De Jesus Group
Update on Banco Comunal Corazon De Jesus GroupThe communal bank "Corazón de Jesús" (Heart of Jesus) is composed of nine members: one man and eight women, all parents with 20 children under their responsibility. They come from Sauce, a place that is located in the northern part of the country. These members are characterized as being hard-working and responsible.
Melida is the coordinator of the bank and is in charge of the responsibility of the payment installments of the members and the time and manner in which they fulfill them. She has as her economic activity a "pulpería" located in the house where she lives. A "pulpería" is a store that sells products of daily consumption and in small quantities like packets of coffee, rice, beans, sugar, milk, bread and detergents. The objective of the loan is to invest in working capital and stock the business.
The communal bank "Corazón de Jesús" is grateful for the help that the Kiva lenders provide to people of limited resources and poor countries such as Nicaragua so that they can have a way to work with dignity.
Previous Loan DetailsThe "Corazón De Jesús" (Heart of Jesus) Communal Bank was born with the intention of improving their business activities. This group set their main objective to be the growth, as much social as economical, of each one of them. All of them are recognized in their area. Dominga is an enterpris...

Additional Information
Fundación Leon 2000This loan is administered by Fundación Leon 2000. Fundación Leon 2000 began operations in 1993 as the first microfinance institution to serve the western part of Nicaragua, a country which continues to be one of the poorest in the western hemisphere. Fundación Leon 2000 works to further the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises through credit services and management, applying the best credit industry practices and technical expertise. Additionally, Fundación Leon manages several business and financial education programs in the community, specifically for young entrepreneurs and at-risk youth. Fundación Leon 2000's group of experienced and dedicated employees works in 7 offices in Leon, Chinandega, Chichigalpa, Somotillo, Jinotepe, El Sauce, and Nagarote and serves several thousand clients (the majority of whom are women).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Actress Dimple Kapadia may not have time for herself but is such an avid fan of "Bigg Boss" and its host, Bollywood star Salman Khan, that she takes out time to watch every episode of the reality show.
The "Bobby" fame actress is hardly seen at the Bollywood bashes and when asked what keeps her busy, she said: "I don't know what I am busy doing, but I am very busy. I don't have time for myself."
Ealborating on her daily routine, the 56-year-old, who was married to late Hindi movie superstar Rajesh Khanna, added: "I am a grandmother, so I enjoy being with them (grandchildren). I love Sanskrit shlokas and I try to learn them - that is my passion."
"I have enough to keep me going and I love watching 'Bigg Boss'. I totally enjoy that. I don't miss any episode."
The seventh season of the "Bigg Boss" is currently aired on Colors channel and interestingly, one of the contestants on the show was Anita Advani, who claimed to be Rajesh Khanna's girlfriend.
Meanwhile, the National Award winning actress, known for her powerful performances in parallel cinema such as "Kaash", "Drishti", "Lekin", "Rudaali" other than commercial hits like "Saagar", has stepped out of her comfort zone to promote her forthcoming release "What The Fish".
From Saif Ali Khan to Kareena Kapoor to her son-in-law Akshay Kumar, many actors came on "Bigg Boss Saath - 7" set to promote their films.
Will she promote "What The Fish" on "Bigg Boss"?
"I don't think we are going. No, we are not going there. But I am a big Salman Khan fan," said Dimple and added that she has no plans to enter the television space.
"I don't have the talent to do something of that sort. I can do something for 30 days or 50 days. I can program myself, but I can't give my year for a shooting. No, I will die. I can't handle it," she said.
Gurmeet Singh directed "What The Fish" is a comical mystery and revolves around a 67-year-old, divorced and grumpy woman, Sudha Mishra (played by Dimple), who gives the responsibility of her house to her niece's fianc while she's away.
Made under the banner of Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, "What The Fish" releases on Dec 13.

Date of Stay: July, 2013
We stayed here for 4 nights over the 4th of July holiday. Our intention was to use the campground as a base camp due to the location in the Berkshires. Old campground, lots of old seasonal trailers in disrepair, outdated facilities, no kids' activities and understaffed owners. Pros; sites were large, wooded and level. Electric was good and we ran our AC the entire time. Fire-pit was large but did not get a chance to use it. No sewer connection but there was a grey water dry well at each site. Pool water was clean. Verizon cell reception was good. Cost was reasonable at $32. Cons; main roads were washed out and had 3' deep gullies where you could break an axle if you went into one of these, bathrooms were outdated but useable. Entrance road to campground was a single lane dirt road, very dangerous. No sewer at the site. Rec room was outdated by 20 year, no kids' activities at all. Camp store only had a few items on the shelves. Pool area had weeds that were 4' tall and maintenance of the pool area was poor. Mosquitoes were unbearable. Staff was rude and talked about insurance regulations the entire time but yet they had a 20' bonfire and roads that could swallow up a camper, go figure.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
Great spot (#9), right on the lake so we could fish right from our site. Staff was super friendly, key card access, great country store and beach. Would have liked full sewer hookup at the site, but I understand being on the water gravity is working against you. Lots of activities for our boys, almost like a summer camp. Highly recommend going. Bring your kayak and fishing pole!

Hurricane Aid Pours in ; from Sri Lanka to France, Emergency Relief Is Sent, but Tinged with Criticism of US Handling of the Disaster
Peter Ford writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
Governments around the world rushed aid and relief teams to America's stricken southern states on Monday - some repaying past favors the United States has offered them to recover from natural disasters - while their citizens continued to express amazement and dismay at the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
In a dramatic reversal of usual roles, small nations such as Sri Lanka - badly hit by last December's tsunami - have extended their hands to the most powerful country on earth. And after initial ambivalence, American officials were accepting offers of help from over 50 countries with thanks.
"My country needs a lot of help because it has suffered a catastrophe that has no historical parallel," US ambassador to Spain, Eduardo Aguirre, said in Madrid on Monday, after asking the Spanish government for generators, medical equipment, pumps, and oil. "The most important thing right now is to know that we have friends."
Even America's foreign friends, however, have been free with their criticism of the way the US authorities handled rescue and relief operations in New Orleans last week. Repeated TV images of bodies floating in the floodwaters, crowds of homeless people abandoned to their fate for days, and looters emptying shops have raised harsh questions in Europe about the nature of American society.
"America's dark underbelly has been laid bare," charged London's Daily Mail in a headline Saturday, above a commentary drawing attention to the way in which the large majority of flood victims are poor and black.
As the scale of the disaster that hit Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi became clear, and Washington reversed its earlier decision that it did not need foreign aid, its allies readied thousands of tons of emergency supplies and hundreds of millions of dollars to feed, shelter, and care for displaced Americans forced from their homes.
As part of a NATO plan, the British government has flown 500,000 military ration packs to the afflicted zone, while the German government has sent food and is readying a hospital ship in case it is needed.
The French Red Cross has dispatched 17 logistics experts, trained in food distribution, shelter management, and other emergency skills, along with thousands of "family kits" containing food, medical, and hygiene items that had been stocked in Guadeloupe, ready for a disaster in the Caribbean.
The French and Italian governments put their military transport planes to work Sunday, carrying blankets, cots, tents, and inflatable dinghies, but there were signs that the sudden flood of relief supplies was overwhelming US authorities.
The Swedish Rescue Services Agency said Sunday it had postponed sending two portable water purification stations to New Orleans until the authorities were able to install them at Louis Armstrong International Airport. …

JAS eTeaEdit Company
Popular Teas from JAS eTeaSee All 86 Teas
Recent Tasting Notes
This mushroom suits me just right on a (bitterly) cold & snowy night. I'm impressed with the development and smoothness since my last session with this tea. It's brewing up a clear and dark orange color, with a sweet earthy scent. Nice woody flavors dominate, balanced by sweet leather and maybe a hint of vanilla. A smokey addition and a hint astringency add some complexity to this straight-forward tea. Warming and comfortable is how I'd describe this one. I've been exploring shou recently for something on the deeper side, but this is what I'm looking for. Hopefully later vintages age as well.
Flavors: Earth, Leather, Smoke, Wood
Another from Stephanie. Wooooow is this fragrant. I cavalierly took a gulp and proceeded to quite literally choke. Disclaimer: pretty sure it was partially the fault of liquid trickling down into my airway, but the unexpected strength of the flavor did not help. After my coughing fit subsided, I did another couple of hummingbird-like swallows, and had to dump the cup. It was way too potent, floral and almost artificial in a way that gave me a headache. Though, again, that could have just been a residual effect of hacking up a lung. I have a hard time believing this is a "natural aroma" as the website advertises, but stranger things have happened. Not to be deterred, I brewed it up a second time to see if the flavor was a little more palatable. I should note that the rating is based on this latter steep. It is definitely better as it fades, but still much too reminiscent of accidentally walking through a cloud of perfume. There's honeyed notes that I would enjoy in a different cup, but they're overwhelmed here. I might try one more steep and see if there's an improvement, but apparently I'm a green oolong girl above all else. Sorry, Dan Cong.
Flavors: Astringent, Flowers, Gardenias, Honey, Perfume
Thanks again for all the DANCONG samples Kieblera5
I'm going to be real honest here. This is my 3rd different dancong sample from Jas-E-Tea so far, and they've all been extremely similar. I can't tell the difference between Almond and Magnolia aroma. Not sure if this is a problem with my palette or a reflection of the tea itself. Having said that they have all been quite drinkable. Not OUTSTANDING but a solid B-
I've also read conflicting things about DANCONG itself. Like how it gets its "aroma"…not sure who or what to believe. "It is very hard to make this natural almond flower aroma since it requires great proficiency on the part of the teamaker to process the tea and impart this delicate aroma." From Jas-E-Tea but yet another source says " The doppelganger of teas, Dancong teas are noted for their ability to naturally imitate the flavors and fragrances of various flowers and fruits, such as orange blossom, orchid, grapefruit, almond, ginger flower, etc."
Anyway, I'll let you guys know if any of the other DANCONGS in this set are unusual or outstanding in any way :)
Thank you for the sample kieblera5!
This is a very nice DANCONG. There are definitely some floral notes but it is not as intensely floral as some others I've tried. Decent level of complexity. I give this one a B- or a C+
I was given several new varieties to sample so I'm definitely going to take notes on each one and figure out which kind is my favorite!
No matter what I did, I couldn't get the bitterness out of the brew.. I steeped it the same parameters as the previous dancong, but it always had a bitter finish even when I lowered the water temperature or had shorter steeps. Not sure what I did wrong – maybe I need a dancong expert :P
Still, woodsy notes with a hint of sweetness until the bitterness hits at the end. Steeped gongfu style.
Haven't done this in awhile. Got this tea from JAS-e Tea little a while ago. To start off I know nothing of yellow teas & little of whites. That said my expectations weren't high. Would not have mattered if they were though because this tea was fabulous! Without an idea of how to prepare it I scanned around for a few until I felt just confident enough to wreck it, grabbed a gaiwan & some 155,or so, degree water, & I jumped right in. Not quite gong fu, but a healthy amount of leaf for a quick infuse. The overall buttery impression was so strong that I think of corn on the cob… the kind from the county fair… lathered in creamy butter. The vegetive was something akin to asparagus or even a fresh green bean-but sweeter. Something reminded me of rice as well. Silky smooth with no astringency (if you've seen me before you know about astringency and me) & a nice after flavor. I steeped it close to ten times & was still happy with what I was drinking. It started to resemble more of what I'm familiar with in a green tea as it got up in steeps with a slight metallic bite, but that initial 3-4 cups blew me away. Thanks to Stephen at JAS-e for your service.
No tune today;
I got a 15g sample and split it into two sessions. The first session I was very impressed. This note is about my second session. First steeping I shared a cup with my mom. She noted some mild bitter aftertaste. She also said "whoo, this tea is making me dizzy, I probably shouldn't have anymore". I didn't want to tell her she was getting tea drunk off one cup. She is really sensitive though but I was feeling it too after the first steeping. This tea is way too strong on an empty stomach! An omelet and a pear later and I delved into the next couple steepings…
Golden color and floral scent, taste of melon and honey with an initial sweetness and mild bitter aftertaste. Very sweet for a young sheng and the melon taste was quite pleasant. The liquor has a little viscosity to it which I liked, went down very smooth and coated the mouth and throat. The cha qi character was much more enjoyable with some food in the belly. A little buzzy and out there, I would describe it. Kinda fun, but it was a little nauseating on an empty stomach.
Currently checking in around $80 this one is a little spendy, but an excellent candidate for long term storage. It will be a gem in its later years!
Flavors: Honey, Melon
Sample from a very generous Steepster friend – thank you so much.
5g 100ml gaiwan 200F
rinse/pause/flush steeps
This tea is such bright yellow-orange color. Tobacco notes, slightly floral. its quite bitter but then some sweetness comes out later. i was surprised that this bitterness didnt bother me at all. Couple months ago i would just spit it out;)
I did like it and i plan to continue tomorrow. Thank you for the new experience, my tea friend. I'm learning everyday
OMG this was an amazing sheng.
I drank on the leaves all day, towards the end just leaving them in my cup to continue to steep as I drink…
The first few steeps were a bit woody, but not in a bad way at all. There was some gentle smokiness too. No bitterness or astringency that I could find. Usually I enjoy sheng with a more bold fruity or floral taste/scent, which I did not get much of here at all, but wow, as this one began to open up as the steeps progressed and it sweetened, it was magical nonetheless! I guess I can appreciate the "sweet wood" type of sheng after all! I had a rough afternoon and the energy from this really helped me power through. Clarity in a cup! Thanks very much to my special Steepster friend for a sample of this one :)
I was sent a sample of this tea by a fellow Steepsterite and it has sustained me through today. It's a sheng, and it smells like a sheng: hay and horses to my nose. The liquor is a yellowish amber and smells sweet, but not strong. It tastes sweet too with a smokiness that I liked, but the promised cha qi did not appear. Never mind. I'm convinced that cha qi is more about your relationship with the tea than it is about inherent qualities of that tea. Even without that, I enjoyed this tea and it has sustained itself well through the day. I am still getting a smoky sweet liquor after about a dozen cups although I am now up to a 1 minute steep. Still that's pretty good. I'm off for another cup now and then a large glass of port before bed. :)
Having this one actually for the second day. I brought this one out and picked about 10 grams off the cake. I started out with a quick wash on this one . It brews a golden amber color. It has just a touch of smokiness very subdued and a woody pine with a touch of bitter to it. This brews very nice as opposed to the younger versions of this I own. It gives you a bit of the calmness after drinking in and seems to have a little "thickness" when drinking. it is a nice pretty full bodied tea to have in the cup. The taste seems to carry on a bit after drinking it.
Had this one late last night. It has some age on it and the tuocha reflects this in the color of the leaf. It brews an amber golden color. Darker than I thought for its age. It still has that smoky "bite" of the Xiaguan teas and comes across with a woody leather taste. I have only done 2 steeps so far and hopefully this will evolve away from the smokiness.
First infusion has a very strong mineral, grassy taste (think Timothy hay, if you're familiar) with a very grassy scent. The second infusion is still mineral and grassy but it also has a floral scent and taste. Subsequent infusions lose the mineral taste, but continue to have as much of a taste and scent of Timothy hay as well as the floral scent and taste. The finish on this tea is slightly sweet, but I did not note any scent or taste of honey. In all honesty, I've had plain green tea from various large chain tea companies that was just as good at nothing approaching the price of this Spring 2009 Taste of Jinggu Mountain; to say that I'm disappointed with this purchase is an understatement. I would have been much happier spending the extra $20 to buy a 2003 Yiwu Puqing Hao Green Pu-erh Tea Cake from Puerhshop.com but I wanted to try other teas as well. I guess I'll chalk this one up to 'live and learn' and do my best to buy a sample of a tea before I invest in an entire bing/tuo/brick.
A note on the tea cake itself: I know bings are supposed to be tightly packed to allow for storage but this particular bing was so tightly packed one could use it as a discus at a track meet! I was very careful when I tried to pry off a few pieces of this cake and used a pu-erh knife but there was just no separating it without breaking the leaves into tiny flakes in the process. I decided to go ahead and separate this cake and put the tea into a new yixing clay jar to allow it to get some air to age and wound up with as much powder and tiny flakes of leaves as I did small chunks of tea. I was completely unable to separate the center of the cake and will try to use a nail to break it up later; the darn thing could have been used by Wayne Gretzky for hockey practice it was so solid. I just hope a few years in a nice yixing jar will make this tea worth the trouble.
My humans are STILL talking about this tea. You've heard of tea leaves with that downy appearance. This is it! Tea Adventure: 2012 Spring White-bud Pu-erh from JAS-eTea.com http://lyt-tea-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/09/tea-adventure-2012-spring-white-bud-pu.html
This has been stored well it has no sharpness left in it. Very nice and almost sweet on the sides of the tongue. Pale light green brew,very nice to just sit and inhale the aroma. Not an overpowering one by far. Very nice and easy to drink. I think this will just get better and better with age.
This tea is wonderful!!!! It has a very different smell, unlike anything I have ever smelled before. Its almost fruity smelling. Drinking it hot is the way to go, I tried it both hot and over ice and I prefer it hot as the flavors remain bold. Over ice the flavors tend to get muted by the cold.

You have three more chances to see monster trucks at this year's Southern California Fair.
Races will be 1:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. today, Oct. 13, and 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 14. The hour-long shows include trophy kart competitions, and they'll be a meet-and-greet with drivers before tonight's race, which will be freestyle.
Drivers include Rick and Eric Swanson, a father and son from Menifee. Rick drives a truck called WrongWay Rick, which appears to go backwards, and Eric drives a truck called Obsessed.
Friday night at the Lake Perris Fairgrounds, both Swansons made it to qualifying rounds in separate races.
Audience members can take $5 rides in monster trucks before and after the shows, put on by WGAS Motorsport Entertainment.
Two trucks have flatbeds fitted with passenger seats. A hornet yellow one called Hog Wild takes eight passengers. A firetruck called the Extinguisher has 9/11 tributes emblazoned on its sides and takes 14 passengers.
Rider climb up into the flatbeds on steep ladders, and when rides are over staff members pick up little kids and carry them down.
Friday night, these rides filled children with excitement stronger than a sugar rush. They last 3-4 minutes and include a spins and dirt bumps. They're like an intense roller coaster.

Moving toward multi-modal
Recently, I've started to consider expanding my transportation options. No disrespect to the bus, which has served me well for many years and will remain my primary mode of transportation, but there are times when I want more control over when and how quickly I get somewhere. To that end, on Monday, I took a beginning commuter class through Cascade Bicycle Club's Education Foundation. (Well, it wasn't an official class; I spent a couple of hours getting schooled by their extremely knowledgeable commuting specialist, Chris Cameron.)

Great dress. Love the colors and the softness of the fabric. A warning though, I'm a 34B and the top part fits me just about perfect. If you are large chested consider this before you order. Over all I love the colors and think it will be perfect for summer. It's super flattering because it is loose, and the length is just right (I'm 5'9"). I'm really happy with this purchase and can't wait to wear it this summer and fall. It's so cheery and summery I'm happy with my order.

This invention relates to the field of site selection in a network, and more particularly, to a method of selecting a site to fulfill a request based on the address of a requesting system.
One of the problems facing media streaming over the Internet is congestion due to high traffic loads. Packets are often dropped or lost when routers and switches are overloaded with traffic. Dropped or lost packets result in lower performance and lower quality media streams. Since the quality of a media stream has a direct correlation to the number of routers and switches that a media stream must transverse, data streaming architects are faced with the challenge of designing algorithms for finding the nearest streaming server to serve a request from a requesting system.
One technology that has been used to provide the least possible network distance has been to embed a complex set of code in each router in a given network. When a request or data is received at the given network's main server, the server routes the request to the nearest router in accordance with a predetermined set of rules, or metrics. Each nearest router maintains and uses predetermined metrics to route the request to the next nearest router until the nearest streaming server is found. The requesting system can then receive data from the nearest streaming server.
One drawback of this approach, however, is that it is complex, expensive, and can be slow. For each router, complex metrics must be developed and embedded to enable the router to determine where a request is coming from, and where the nearest site for serving the request is located. Based on this information, it routes it to another router until the site nearest to the requesting system is reached. Since each router passes information onto another router, the process of finding a nearest site can be slow. Moreover, since each router must have special hardware for communicating with other routers, the infrastructure for implementing this approach can be very costly.
Another approach has been for a network's main server to utilize a simple round robin metrics and dynamic information (such as which servers are available) to determine which streaming server is to be selected to fulfill a request. One drawback to this approach is that a round robin approach may result in the selection of a streaming server that is not the closest streaming server to serve the request from.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example, and not by way of limitation, in the figures of the accompanying drawings and in which like reference numerals refer to similar elements and in which:
In one aspect of the invention, a site selection method for handling a request for data streams is disclosed. A request for a data stream is made from a requesting system corresponding to an Internet Protocol (IP) address. The request is sent to an operations center for handling. A redirection module in the operations center looks the requesting system's IP address up on a site database that has a list of IP addresses, where each IP address corresponds to an edge server that is the nearest server to the requesting system. If the requesting system's IP address is found on the site database, then the redirection module causes the requested data to be sent from the edge server corresponding to the requesting system's IP address to the requesting system. If the address is not found on the site database, then the redirection module causes the requested data to be sent from a deployment server that employs a non-address based protocol to route the data to a server.
The present invention includes various operations, which will be described below. The operations of the present invention may be performed by hardware components or may be embodied in machine-executable instructions, which may be used to cause a general-purpose or special-purpose processor or logic circuits programmed with the instructions to perform the operations. Alternatively, the operations may be performed by a combination of hardware and software.
The present invention may be provided as a computer program product which may include a machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions which may be used to program a computer (or other electronic devices) to perform a process according to the present invention. The machine-readable medium may include, but is not limited to, floppy diskettes, optical disks, CD-ROMs (Compact Disc-Read Only Memories), and magneto-optical disks, ROMs (Read Only Memories), RAMs (Random Access Memories), EPROMs (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memories), EEPROMs (Electromagnetic Erasable Programmable Read Only Memories), magnetic or optical cards, flash memory, or other type of media/machine-readable medium suitable for storing electronic instructions. Moreover, the present invention may also be downloaded as a computer program product, wherein the program may be transferred from a remote computer (e.g., a server) to a requesting computer (e.g., a client) by way of data signals embodied in a carrier wave or other propagation medium via a communication link (e.g., a modem or network connection). Accordingly, herein, a carrier wave shall be regarded as comprising a machine-readable medium.
One current system for routing a request is illustrated in
In embodiments of the invention, as illustrated in
As used herein, the following terms are used, and have meanings as follows:
An operations center processes requests for data sent from requesting systems 102. Data may comprise on-demand events, live events, and scheduled events. On-demand events comprise pre-recorded, stored events, which are accessible at anytime. Live events comprise events that are available on a real-time basis, and scheduled events comprise live events that have been encoded, and are to be broadcasted at a future designated time. Events may be audio and video events; audio events; or video events. Web objects, Web radio, movie trailers, and seminars are examples of data that can be requested and transmitted.
As illustrated in
An operations center database 416 comprises data to be requested, where the data comprises on-demand events. For example, a customer may wish to make a recorded seminar available to users on the Internet. The customer may upload the on-demand data 418 to the operations center 200 by, for example, initiating an upload via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to the operations center database 416. After the on-demand data 418 has been uploaded to the operations center database 416, a background utility detects the added content, processes the content, makes the appropriate database entries, and marks the content for transfer to streaming servers, so that each streaming server comprises data that has been uploaded to the operations center database 416. As stated previously, streaming servers include edge servers and deployment servers.
An origin server 404 comprises data to be requested, where the data comprises scheduled events, or live events. For example, a customer may wish to make a live seminar (or scheduled event) 412 available to users on the Internet by, for example, transmitting analog A/V (Audio/Video) signals via a satellite reception, which is subsequently encoded; or by transmitting encoded signals over Internet. If the data is encoded, then the data is routed to the origin server 404. If it is not encoded, it is routed to an encoder for encoding (not shown), and then routed to the origin server 404. After the data 412 has been uploaded to the origin server 404, it is ready to be streamed.
When live or scheduled event data is requested, the requesting system 102 is redirected to a selected streaming server (which can be a selected edge server 204 i or a selected deployment server), as is done for on-demand event data. However, in the case of live or scheduled data, the selected streaming server requests a connection to the origin server 404, which is receiving the live event or has already received the scheduled event. The origin server 404 then streams data to the selected streaming server. Once the selected streaming server buffers an adequate amount of data, it starts to stream the data to the requesting system 102. The data can then be displayed to the user using a viewer 408 on the requesting system 102.
When requests for data are made from a requesting system 102, the requesting system 102 must ultimately receive data from a streaming server. Every system on the Internet must have an IP address. Since IP addresses are assigned by ISPs, which each comprises its own network of routers for routing packets (i.e., data or requests), and servers for sending and receiving data, each requesting system 102, therefore, is associated with a given ISP.
In accordance with embodiments of the invention, rather than stream data from any site in a given network or Internet, it is preferable to stream the data from a streaming server that is co-located with the ISP of the requesting system's 102. Also known as an edge server, which is closer to the requesting system 102 than a server from another ISP server, for instance, it provides a better viewing experience from the requesting system 102. In one embodiment, a site database 402 stores a list 414 of IP addresses and edge servers, where each IP address 406 corresponds to an edge server that has been pre-determined to be the nearest streaming server (which in the best case, is co-located with the requesting system's ISP) to a requesting system 102 of the given IP address 406.
Typically, an ISP is assigned a group of addresses called CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) blocks, which is nothing more than a contiguous block of IP addresses, such that each edge server corresponds to a CIDR block. In another embodiment, therefore, where CIDR block notation is used in the site database 402, and a particular ISP comprises a large CIDR block (i.e., a contiguous block of numerous addresses), such that it is not feasible to have a single server to serve those IP addresses, it is possible to divide the blocks between servers of the same ISP, and to set up the redirection server 400 and site database 402 to direct a particular request to the best server in the ISP in the same CIDR block. For instance, the redirection server 400 may attempt to first match the IP address 406 to a CIDR block in the site database 402. If there is no CIDR block match, then it can attempt a direct match of the IP address 406 in the site database 402. In this embodiment, the site database 402, therefore, maintains a set of two tables: one for CIDR block matches, and another for IP address 408 matches. If IP address notation is used, then the site database 402 comprises a list of IP addresses, where each one can correspond to the closest edge server for a given ISP.
In exemplary embodiments, there is a one-to-many correspondence between an edge server and an address, where each address has a single nearest streaming server. In other embodiments, however, there may be a many-to-many correspondence between an address and an edge server. In these embodiments, an address may correspond to a plurality of edge servers where, for example, an edge server is busy or it is down, and the request is routed to an alternate edge server. (Where no edge server exists, the request is routed to a deployment server in accordance with a non-address based protocol as determined by the redirection server 400 (see below)).
A redirection server 400 selects a streaming server for a given requesting system 102, and then redirects a requesting system 102 to a selected streaming server. If an edge server exists and is available, the redirection server 400 redirects the requesting system 102 to a selected edge server. If no edge server is available, then the redirection server 400 redirects the requesting system 102 to a selected deployment server.
An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described below in which the invention is used in the context of streaming multimedia data over the Internet. When a requesting system 102 sends a request for multimedia data, the request comprises the requesting system's IP address 406. The request comprising the system's IP address 406 is received by the redirection server 400. The redirection server 400 passes the IP address 406 to the site database 402. If the IP address 406 is found on the site database 402, then a corresponding edge server identifier 408 is passed back to the redirection server 400. The redirection server 400 then redirects the requesting system 102 to the selected edge server 204 i (identified by the edge server identifier 408). In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the redirection server 400 returns a streaming metafile 410 to the requesting system 102, where the metafile 410 contains a path to the selected edge server 204 i (identified by the edge server identifier 408). Using the path, the requesting system 102 then initiates a streaming session with the selected edge server 204 i, and a viewer 408 on the requesting system 102 streams data to end users. Streaming formats include WMF (Windows Metafile Format), Real Networks�, and Quicktime�, for example, but are not limited to these formats.
If the IP address 406 is not found on the site database 402, then the redirection server 400 uses a protocol for finding an alternate streaming server, called a deployment server for redirecting the requesting system 102 to. A deployment server is selected based on a protocol which is not based on the requesting system's IP address 408. For instance, a round robin, least load, or load-balancing method may be used to select a deployment server.
It should be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that variations of the exemplary embodiment may exist without departing from the spirit of the invention. For instance, one variation of the exemplary embodiment described above may cause a corresponding edge server identifier 408 to be passed back to the redirection server 400 only if the IP address 406 is found on the site database 402, and if the corresponding edge server is up and running. If either of these fails, then, for instance, an alternate streaming server (i.e., next best edge server, or a deployment server) may be used.
In the foregoing specification, the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments thereof. It will, however, be evident that various modifications and changes may be made thereto without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention. The specification and drawings are, accordingly, to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.
To the extent not otherwise embodied by prior art, it should be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that many of the details of the invention described herein are implementation-specific, and are not meant to be limitations of the invention. For example, it is not essential to the invention that a request from a requesting system be for a stream of data. Furthermore, while embodiments discussed herein refer to IP addresses being associated with servers, it should be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that addresses are not limited to the IP protocol, and that the invention should extend to other protocols appropriate to a given implementation, or other protocols that may be developed in the future to the extent consistent with a given implementation. Those of ordinary skill in the art should also understand that functions performed by modules described herein are not limited to modules associated with a given name, nor is any module limited to the functions described herein. As would be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, functions described as being performed on multiple processors may, in fact, be performed by less than the number of processors described, or may be performed by a single processor. This list of implementation-specific examples is not exclusive.

Lady of the Fae
I nothing am but a mere conduit
For words that whisper and compose to lines,
Their origin doth mongst the faeries sit –
My muse's whispering words by chance form mines.
I wish to speak the words that match her beauty
But she doth not yet have an open ear
For not yet doth she her true beauty see
And hence, my words rejecting, wilt not hear.
The hope remains, that as my poems grow,
So time will change the mind of this fair fae
And she will no longer reject but know
She needn't from her beauty shy away.
But yet she self-aware doth not agree
She holds the beauty that in her I see.

Hey it's Laxus from Fairy Tail.
Randal-6/4 with stop opp ability(ability) and +2 power(bonus)
-Damage of 4 nothing to sneeze about.
-SOA his always annoys their opponent and is one of the two useable SOA in Bangers.(the other useable SOA is Graff)
-Potential power of 8 ain't bad!
-He looks more cooler with a headband than a hat in in my opinion
-Competition. Loocio has potential power of 10, Garrik has potential for greatness but is quite shaky,Dud Z decent card by itself and gets a nice ability against SOA but weak to SOB even Juicy Lord is a damage reducer.
Overall: 8.5/10 Some could argue 6 power is low for a banger and is vulnerable to nightmares and Piranhas. But a SOA ability removes Oshitsune's and Edwin's abilities and Scubb's and Ector's etc ability, making them much less threatening, using Randal is preference. So when you need a 3* or SOA consider Randal

Oklahoma football: These are uneasy times in Sooner football
NORMAN – Eight Big 12 losses the last three seasons. Multiple suspensions and dismissals. Even the loss of Owen Field invincibility. A shaky performance in the only real game of 2012 thus far.
These are uneasy times in Sooner football.
Not necessarily nationally, considering the Sooners are ranked fifth or sixth in the major polls.
Not necessarily regionally, considering the Sooners were picked to win the Big 12 and Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, who Saturday night brings his Wildcats to town for a showdown special, says he can't think of a negative thing to say about Bobby Stoops' squad.
But in Soonerville, in every hill and holler and homestead where they hold Oklahoma football dear, there's a general restlessness. Not the hunger to end the national championship drought. A fear. A fear that the program has slipped.
Even Stoops' strongest supporters privately wonder if their coach needs to make even bigger changes than last off-season, when he took the bold and novel steps of firing an assistant (Willie Martinez) and demoting another (Brent Venables).
All of which makes OU-Kansas State a huge game for Sooner psyches. Beat the 15th-ranked Wildcats, and all seems better. Lose, and suddenly it's fair to say that Sooner football is in a multi-year slump.
This much we know for sure. The Sooner talent base isn't what it was a few years ago.
"It's Oklahoma, so you're going to have great players, regardless," said fifth-year defensive end R.J. Washington. But then Washington recited some of his teammates from 2008 and 2009.
Sam Bradford. Jermaine Gresham. Trent Williams. G.K. McCoy. Jeremy Beal. Auston English.
"Guy after guy after guy," Washington said. "Their generation might have been a little more doggish, if that makes sense. They were like, I don't care … this is how I'm going to play. Let's go get it. We still have that mentality, but it's tweaked different."
Clearly, OU is not as strong in the lines as it was in recent yesteryear. The smaller guys, I guess we can keep it open for discussion.
Of course, Stoops won the 2000 national championship with a team that wasn't talent-rich. So blue-chip stock and star ratings aren't the only variable.
"Lot of different forms of talent," said OU offensive coordinator Josh Heupel, who quarterbacked that 2000 team. "Lot of intangible characteristics and traits ultimately determine who and what you can be as a team."
Josh Almighty said the 2000 team came to work every day focused and accountable to each other. "That's why that team went on and did some of the things it did. The special teams around here have handled themselves in that way."
So how have the present Sooners acquitted themselves?
"We're trying to get these young guys to buy in and do a lot of those things," Heupel said. "It's a daily process. That's what happens when you get the opportunity to deal with 18- to 22-year-olds."
Maybe these Sooners have straightened out, maybe not. But the comings and goings of players OU was counting on – Stacy McGee, Jaz Reynolds, Casey Walker – shows that it's a work in progress.
Diminish the talent pool, even if only slightly, and diminish the culture of commitment, even if only slightly, and you've got a diminished football program, even if only slightly.
Sometimes the difference between winning and losing is slight.

Son's honor doesn't rub off on Taylor
Published: Wednesday, November 1, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 1, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: I noted in reviewing Charles Taylor's Web site, we are both of about the same age.
One difference is that during my early Air Force career serving in Vietnam, Taylor was evading the draft. That's fine; just another future Republican chicken-hawk (I'm a reformed Republican of 30-some years).
What I do find reprehensible is Taylor's attempt to capitalize on his son's honorable military service (wherever that may be) through TV ads. But then, that is his son's service. As for Taylor, he proves evaders (aka: draft-dodgers) have no honor!
What else could one expect from our ethically and morally challenged and -- as reported in the very conservative Wall Street Journal -- totally corrupt U.S. representative.
Hey Taylor, how's your KGB buddy doing?
