Please consider the following scenario:
VNC Client try to connect with a VNC Server which is behind a NAT.
I have written a port forwarder in java which help me achieving above task, and it works fine.
Now I need to, somehow, add a connection brokering functionality within this forwarder so that I can also intercept the communication between VNC Client – Server, and authenticate the VNC Client within the forwarding utility as well.
You may have guessed that actually I am using the password received from VNC Client for some authentication in my app. As the RFB Server can be implemented at application layer, I guess this interception is possible... VNCAuthentication (DES encryption/decryption) is used in all above communication. Upon successful authentication within the forwarding utility I shall just let the forwarding continue for that respective client, else I can close it (stop forwarding).
I have tried some implementation, also tried customizing a java implementation of rfb server... but still not able to get there. It will take some time, I know, but need to confirm if I am thinking straight.
Please let me know if the implementation of above scenario is ambiguous, not possible, or illegitimate and if this is possible, let me have some guild lines...

Review for Extras for Creative Learning Inc, Dorchester, MA, USA
ExCL is an amazing organization! I work for a program with adults with developmental disabilities, and we bring a group of 6 clients once a week to volunteer there. The staff at ExCL is always very friendly, helpful, and patient with our clients. The purpose and goal of this organization is so important, and it is clear that all their staff are invested in the overall success of the organization. They have so much great stuff that would be thrown out and wasted if it wasn't for them.
Role: Volunteer & volunteered with clients.

Filed under: Capitalism, Domestic Policy, Environment, Junk Science, Politics, Regulation | Tags: Green Zealots, Power Grab, Rogue Agency
The EPA has just finalized one of the biggest land grabs in American history.
Just reprimanded by the Supreme Court, the EPA is anxious to try their luck again. Under the Clean Water Act, the EPA was granted the authority to regulate the navigable waters of the United States to see that they remained clean.
Under the Clean Water Rule, all "tributaries" will be regulated by the federal government. Broadly defined, which they intend, this means anything moist that eventually flows into something that can be defined as a "navigable river," including the roadside ditch above, and even smaller trickles.
Under the same rule, the word "adjacent" is stretched from the Supreme Court's definition of actually "abutting" what most Americans regard as a real water of the United States to anything "neighboring," "contiguous," or "bordering" a real water, terms which are again stretched to include whole floodplains and riparian areas. Floodplains are typically based on a 100-year flood, but a separate regulation would stretch that to a 500-year flood.
And, finally, under the rule, the EPA cynically throws in a catch-all "significant nexus" test meant as a shout out to Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy's opinion in Rapanos v. United States when, in fact, the EPA's rule makes a mockery of Kennedy's opinion and of no fewer than three Supreme Court rulings.
Under the three approaches, no land or "water" is beyond the reach of the federal government, never mind the traditional understanding of private property or state and local control of land use.
Farmers, ranchers, dairymen and everyone in rural America are in panic mode. Not only does this rule allow the EPA onto their land, but it throws wide open to environmental group-led citizen lawsuits that promise to go far beyond what the EPA envisioned. Citizen lawsuits are controlled only by the rule. The rule carries with it fines to the tune of $37,500 a day. The EPA has a habit of imposing fines big enough to scare the accused of whatever violation into immediate compliance.
I grew up very rural, and I'm sure city people cannot imagine the havoc this rule could cause. Although here in the Seattle area, a good portion of our lawns could be considered wetlands for a portion of the year. It rains a lot, and there is runoff. Farmers and ranchers spend a significant amount of time ditching, or controlling the flow of water where it is not wanted.
The goal of the Environmental Protection Agency has little to do with the environment, but only to do with how environmental regulation can be used to further their political goals of control, ending private property, and bringing on the utopia where everyone is, at last, truly equal. Well, except for those in charge, of course.
Filed under: Domestic Policy, Economy, Energy, Regulation | Tags: Administration Arrogance, Restraint on EPA, Supreme Court Decision
The White House said today that the Supreme Court's decision today on the EPA overreach claiming that the costs of their regulation don't matter — wouldn't impact the huge pending EPA rule imposing regulations of existing power plants. I assume this is Josh Earnest posing as "the White House." Odd.
"Obviously, we're disappointed with the outcome," he said. "I will say, based on what we have read so far, there is no reason that this court ruling should have an impact on the ability of the administration to develop and implement the clean power plant [ruling]."
If the administration is prepared to ignore the Supreme Court ruling, then I assume the rest of us are free to ignore the other decisions that we aren't that convinced were rightly decided.
Filed under: Domestic Policy, Energy, Law, Regulation | Tags: Enviromental Zealots, Michiga v EPA, Supreme Court
In the case of Michigan v. EPA, the Supreme Court addressed a matter that is genuinely outside of voter's control, the way-too-rapid expansion of the regulatory state. The problems all began with the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act. The problem seemed simple to Congress. We want clean air and clean water, and that's what the EPA should be doing.
But the EPA is an agency filled with environmental activists and zealots, fully in line with Obama's unwarranted belief in a dangerous global warming, and sure that the correct answer is to get rid of fossil fuels, carbon dioxide as a pollutant, and carbon in general. The answer is to force Americans to want to rely clean energy sources like solar and wind, with no understanding that solar and wind do not produce enough energy to be a significant source of power.
The EPA wants to force all coal-fired power plants to either shut down or do a lot or retrograding to eliminate any emissions from that nasty fossil fuel. Around 40 percent of our electricity is supplied by coal-fired power plants. The EPA's new regulations would cost $9.6 billion annually, but the EPA claimed that it was appropriate to consider only public health risks. Well, nobody seems to know if there actually are any public health risks. They always put asthma at the top of their list of future childhood death, but the medical profession does not currently know what causes asthma, so that is a complete canard. By some estimates the cost of electricity would go up by as much as $1,200 per year for every American household.
The majority opinion, authored by Justice Antonin Scalia, found that the EPA "unreasonably" interpreted the Clean Air Act to constitute a vehicle by which the environmental regulatory agency could institute new guidelines that were all but overtly aimed at shuttering "dirty" power plants. "EPA strayed well beyond the bounds of reasonable interpretation in concluding that cost is not a factor relevant to the appropriateness of regulating power plants," the opinion read. That's significant; contrary to the wealth of shallow emotionality that suffices for modern political commentary, profits matter. Individual livelihoods and the economic health of the nation are still protected by the Constitution, and they should not be subordinated to environmental sustainability in the zero-sum game that has become America's regulatory culture.
Filed under: Domestic Policy, Health Care, Junk Science, Regulation | Tags: Control v. Liberty, Organizing Doctors, Patient Consultations
Americans generally trust their doctors, so the White House wants these trusted medical professionals to help out in the administration's propaganda campaign to convince the people to support Obama's global warming campaign.
We also need doctors, nurses and citizens, like all of you"President Obama said in a taped speech presented to medical professionals gathered at the White House, "to get to work to raise awareness and organize folks for real change.
The EPA has long tried to cloak their power grab and excessive regulation under risible claims that carbon dioxide is a dangerous pollutant and must be eliminated. As Alan Carlin explained:
The much maligned carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, as EPA and Obama claim, but rather a basic input to plant photosynthesis and growth, which is the basis of life on Earth. Decreasing atmospheric CO2 levels would decrease plant productivity and therefore the food supply for the rest of the ecosystem and humans, and vice versa. Further, attempts to reduce it will prove enormously expensive, futile, harmful to human welfare, and in the longer run, to environmental improvement. It is now increasingly evident that efforts to reduce CO2 emissions by governmental coercion will have important non-environmental adverse effects in terms of loss of freedom of scientific inquiry, economic growth and development, and the rule of law.
Obama's summit included the U.S. Surgeon General, top administration officials, and public health experts from around the country telling doctors nurses and other conference goers how to talk about global warming with their patients.
The central message: doctors should warn their patients that global warming could make their health worse. Uh huh.
As if doctors weren't busy enough. The Surgeon General also wants them to ask their patients if they have any guns in the house. You've probably noticed that the inevitable paperwork you have to fill out is getting increasingly nosy. And with everything computerized, your entire medical record is open to any hacker who is interested.
Filed under: Economy, Global Warming, Junk Science, Military, National Security, Politics | Tags: Measuring Arctic Ice, Military Tasks, Misguided Priorities
You may remember the president's commencement speech at the Coast Guard Academy. He told the graduates "I am here today to say that climate change constitutes a serious threat to global security, an immediate risk to our national security and, make no mistake, it will impact how our military defends our country. And so we need to act — and we need to act now." A lot of people giggled at that one.
The Defense Department, obedient to their commander in chief, calls global warming a true national security threat and has begun instituting a host of environmental measures which range from building clean energy projects at military installations to the use of expensive green fuels in military planes. Military officers who question the president's strategies seem to face early retirement.
A recent report from the Government Accountability Office, according to the Washington Times, notes another example— the commitment of U.S. Military forces to monitor sea ice levels in the Arctic. The administration argues that decreasing ice could force the Pentagon to "institute a military and homeland security presence in the region."
Critics charge the president is directing the military from its real mission of protecting America, but that is not high on the president's list. Last Monday, the White House tried once again to justify its climate change agenda with a new report claiming tens of thousands of lives will be saved through restrictions on carbon.
Difficulty in developing accurate sea ice models, variability in the Arctic's climate, and the uncertain rate of activity in the region create challenges for DOD to balance the risk of having inadequate capabilities or insufficient capacity when required to operate in the region with the cost of making premature or unnecessary investments. DOD plans to mitigate this risk by monitoring the changing Arctic conditions to determine the appropriate timing for capability investments.
Republicans on Capitol Hill are taking aim at the EPA's budget and restricting the president's ill-advised global warming agenda through funding cuts. The Supreme Court decision coming Monday will have a bearing on all this.
On would think with the rise in ISIS terrorist attacks across the world, measuring the ice in the Arctic, since surveys show it to be unusually extensive, could be put off for another day. There has been no warming at all for over 18 years, and things are getting colder — not warmer.
Filed under: Freedom, Law, The United States | Tags: Justice, Liberty, The Court
From the Archives, May, 2009
Lady Justice is the symbol of the judiciary. She carries three symbols of the rule of law: a sword symbolizing the court's coercive power, scales representing the weighing of competing claims, and a blindfold indicating impartiality. This particular representation says:
Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civilized society. It ever has been, ever will be pursued until it be obtained or until liberty be lost in the pursuit.
The judicial oath required of every federal judge and justice says "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I…will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me… under the Constitution and laws of the United States, so help me God.
President Obama has a record of statements on justice. In September 2005, on the confirmation of Chief Justice John Roberts, Obama said:
What matters on the Supreme Court is those 5 percent of cases that are truly difficult. In those cases, adherence to precedent and rules of construction and interpretation will only get you through the 25th mile of the marathon. That last mile can only be determined on the basis of one's deepest values, one's core concerns, one's broader perspectives on how the world works, and the depth and breadth of one's empathy.
During a July 17, 2007 appearance at a Planned Parenthood conference:
We need somebody who's got the heart to recognize — the empathy to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom. The empathy to understand what it's like to be poor or African-American or gay or disabled or old. And that's the criteria by which I'm going to be selecting my judges.
During a Democratic primary debate on November 25, 2007, Obama was asked whether he would insist that any nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court supported abortion rights for women:
I would not appoint someone who doesn't believe in the right to privacy…I taught constitutional law for 10 years, and when you look at what makes a great Supreme Court justice, it's not just the particular issue and how they ruled. But it's their conception of the court. And part of the role of the court is that it is going to protect people who may be vulnerable in the political process, the outsider, the minority, those who are vulnerable, those who don't have a lot of clout.
During a May 1, 2009 press briefing:
Now the process of selecting someone to replace Justice Souter is among my most serious responsibilities as president, so I will seek somebody with a sharp and independent mind and a record of excellence and integrity. I will seek someone who understands that justice isn't about some abstract legal theory or footnote in a casebook; it is also about how our laws affect the daily realities of people's lives, whether they can make a living and care for their families, whether they feel safe in their homes and welcome in their own nation. I view that quality of empathy, of understanding and identifying with people's hopes and struggles, as an essential ingredient for arriving at just decisions and outcomes. I will seek somebody who is dedicated to the rule of law, who honors our constitutional traditions, who respects the integrity of the judicial process and the appropriate limits of the judicial role. I will seek somebody who shares my respect for constitutional values on which this nation was founded and who brings a thoughtful understanding of how to apply them in our time.
"Empathy" is the word that has caused so much concern. For empathy has no place in jurisprudence. Federal judges swear an oath to administer justice without respect to persons. If they are to feel more partial to the "young teenage mom," the "disabled," the "African-American," the "gay," the "old," then they are not and cannot be impartial, and the rule of law counts for nothing. The "depth and breadth of one's empathy" is exactly what the judicial oath insists that judges renounce. That impartiality is what guarantees equal protection under the law.
That is what the blindfold is all about.
Filed under: Domestic Policy, Law, The Constitution, The United States | Tags: Death Row, Power Plants, Redistricting
After finding something or other somewhere in the Constitution that recognized a national right to same-sex marriage and rewriting the Affordable Care Act to fix the actual language that Congress wrote into the law, there are still three more big decisions, which we will hear on Monday.
1. Execution Methods
Glossip v. Gross
At issue is whether the sedative midazolam presents an unconstitutional risk of severe pain in executions of condemned criminals. Three men on Oklahoma's death row claim that midazolam, the anesthetic the state plans to administer before introducing paralytic and heart-stopping drugs to their bloodstreams, is unreliable, exposing them to an unconstitutional risk of severe pain as they are put to death.
2. Power-Plant Emissions
Utility Air Regulatory Group v. EPA et.al.
Issue: Whether the EPA unreasonably disregarded costs when it decided to regulate power plant emissions of mercury and other air toxins. The regulations would cost $9.6 billion annually, according to EPA estimates. But the agency said it was appropriate to consider only public health risks—not industry costs—when it decided to regulate coal- and oil-fired generation plants.
3. Congressional Redistricting
Arizona State Legislature v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission
Issue: Whether a state may transfer redistricting authority from the legislature to a nonpartisan independent commission. Arizona voters in 2000 passed a ballot initiative that shifted responsibility for drawing congressional districts from the state legislature to an independent redistricting commission made up of two Democrats, two Republicans and an independent.

Usher Raymond and Tameka Foster
Despite their charmed lives, these celebrities have experienced unimaginable tragedy.
Usher's stepson and Tameka's son, 11-year-old Kyle Glover, was declared brain dead after a jet ski accident on July 6. Foster said in a statement: "Kyle, You are strong.. You'll be saved I know it." Despite their ongoing divorce, Usher has been by Tameka's side during the ordeal, even chartering her a jet so she could rush to Kyle's bedside. (Photo: Ethan Miller/Getty Images)

Tracy Slater thought she'd stay in Boston forever. A writing teacher with a Ph.D. in literature, Slater worked with diverse students, practiced yoga, published essays and enjoyed her close-knit community of friends. Yet one fateful summer, she agreed to teach English in Japan. "Don't fall in love," said her mother. Naturally, she did.
Ah, alcohol: the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems (to misquote "The Simpsons"). In Blackout: Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget, Sarah Hepola reveals the ugly side of addiction with humor and honesty. She writes gracefully of blackouts, junk food binges and unnerving sexual encounters. Along the way, she touches on loneliness and cats and hangovers and alternative weeklies. Although she claims that alcohol made her fearless, her true bravery emerges in this memoir's witty candor.
Anyone who has completed a grueling round of sun salutations may be glad to learn that such exertions were intended for adolescent boys. Yoga, as it was taught to Americans by Indra Devi in the 1950s, was a slower series of postures, yet it was no more "authentic" than the intense hatha yoga of today. As Michelle Goldberg capably illustrates in The Goddess Pose: The Audacious Life of Indra Devi, the Woman Who Helped Bring Yoga to the West, yoga has always been a bizarre blend of Eastern and Western tradition, particularly in the U.S. Like many other trends, yoga's popularity began in Hollywood.
Bob Morris may have disappointed, infuriated and befuddled his parents along the way, but he loves them enough to keep trying to get it right. In Bobby Wonderful: An Imperfect Son Buries His Parents, a memoir that offers few sentimental excuses while laying bare his big, if often misguided, heart, Morris does an unforgettable job of trying to redeem himself. He even manages to share the humor in it all.
Given the endless parade of biographies of Founding Fathers and Tudor monarchs, one might be forgiven for wondering whether there are any fresh candidates for a lengthy life study left. Canadian writer Rosemary Sullivan (Villa Air-Bel) proves the answer is yes with Stalin's Daughter: The Extraordinary and Tumultuous Life of Svetlana Alliluyeva, the masterfully told and meticulously researched story of a truly remarkable life.
Joseph Luzzi's new memoir, In a Dark Wood: What Dante Taught Me About Grief, Healing, and the Mysteries of Love, transforms unthinkable tragedy into literary gold. In November 2007, while Luzzi was teaching at Bard College, his beloved pregnant wife Katherine was in a car accident: She died later that morning at the hospital, shortly after their daughter Isabel was born. In the space of a single morning, Joseph Luzzi became both a father and widower.
Blonde, svelte, former Miss America, musical prodigy, successful news anchor on national network with a hot husband: I was, quite honestly, prepared to hate (or at least strongly resent) Gretchen Carlson. But darn it if she didn't charm me from the first page of Getting Real, her memoir of growing up wholesome in Minnesota.
Many of us think of North Korea as a nation of automatons, blindly following Dear Leader over the cliff. If nothing else, Joseph Kim's memoir of his harrowing childhood during the famine that devastated North Korea in the 1990s will complicate that view.
There's probably no place that's ideal for a teenage boy to realize he's gay, but among the truly suboptimal locations consider San Antonio, Texas. The heat melts all the product out of your hair, and there's a good chance your classmates know your secret before you do and are prepared to start torturing you well in advance of your coming out. So it was for David Crabb.
From a bicycle trip through Chile and Argentina to a South African journey to report on Nelson Mandela's final days, former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw had no intention of slowing down as he celebrated his 73rd birthday in February 2013. What he didn't count on was a cancer diagnosis a few months later that would transform the next 16 months of his life into one in which cancer became "the scrim through which all of life is viewed."

Boyfriend is off with his brother & dad to work on the car. I am trusting him to know his own limits, given the # of broken bones he has experienced in his life, though part of me wants to go hysterical and sit with him anxiously in the hospital to wait for x-rays and prognosis. We'll do that later, but hopefully without the hysteria. I don't know if he put the car first for me, or because it was the plan before his foot was broken.
I feel like an absolute jerk for the way I acted last night. He left for work, foot definitely broken, acting pretty calm, but came home and was being kind of delirious from the pain/endorphins. I freaked out a bit. We talked about it. I think he understands.
His foot is pretty swollen and there's a big bruise on the top. He hit it on the side, vaulting out of bed over me ("instead of climbing over like a normal person").
I realized from this injury that I still blame myself for his shoulder injury. We talked about that too. I feel better about it. I'm glad I was able to think it through.
I'm still wanting to eat crap food. I have some good food here, but nothing seems appealing. This weekend, I've eaten a dumpling (peking ravioli), ice cream (Rocky Road at the movie theater), a few small chocolate chip cookies (made by Boyfriend's mom), and had some beer to sip (probably less than a 1/4 of a bottle total). Even with just one of those things, it was enough to find me bloated the next morning and with a few fresh pimples.
In other positive news
-My dad and I had fun yesterday discussing family history. I'm old enough now to hear more about his parents' experiences in the war (WWII). I really need to get this written down as accurately as possible, with a timeline. I wish I could've filmed my dad talking. I don't think he'd do that, but he insists we do it for my grandmother. It was a great discussion, and an excellent reminder to keep an open mind with anyone's telling/reading of historical events. There are so many stories untold, and stories that will never be told. We are running out of time, for that era. My hypothetical future children will not have an interest like I have had in my grandparents lives, instead it will be on my parents. It is interesting to see how that can/could shape people. One thing that I took from that conversation that is sticking with me today is my grandparents' motto, "There are good people, and there are bad people." In context, it was in regards to Nazis and Germans.
-I saw my abs today. Boyfriend sees them too. I am mystified. WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?!
-The Hobbit was awesome. I know a lot of people didn't like it, but I thought it was amazing. I felt that the weakest point was probably the dialogue. Note: it's been many years since I read the book, but a lot of the scenes seemed familiar and were how I envisioned them. The harmony for "Far Over the Misty Mountains" is really beautiful (the one in the film, not in the credits). Richard Armitage as Torin Oakenshield is really great. He plays Guy of Gisborne in BBC's really terrible "Robin Hood" show. I watched the first two seasons with my ex in college, just started the 3rd now. Robin is balding, it's honestly a little distracting.
