This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 60/606,799 filed on Sep. 1, 2004, which is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
In any given enterprise, there may be several e-business applications that are deployed. In conventional systems, each of these applications will have their own security policies stored in their respective repositories. Allowing these applications to maintain their own policy repositories and embedded policy decision services is inconvenient and unscalable from an administrative perspective. For example, any new application that is installed must maintain and evaluate its own security policies, which is a major administrative inconvenience. Also these policies cannot be shared across applications, therefore, every application must have its own policy enforcement engine to enforce security policies.
Thus, there is a growing need for a centralized enterprise security and provisioning policy framework that can provide capability to define prescriptive policies for various administrative domains, provide capability to define policies for hierarchical administrative domains for a fine-grained delegated administration, provide infrastructure to build policy servers for various security and provisioning policy evaluation decisions, lower application development, deployment and management costs due to the integration with a unified identity and security management, and enable administration and administration delegation of enterprise security policies.
Embodiments of a method and mechanism for a Centralized Enterprise Security Policy Framework which include storing and enforcing enterprise wide security and provisioning policies in a centralized LDAP directory server are disclosed.
Some embodiments solve the aforementioned shortcomings by storing and enforcing enterprise wide security and provisioning policies in a centralized server. In one embodiment, these provisioning policies and application user identities are stored in a hierarchical fashion in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) based Directory Server. Each policy and user identity maps to a unique entry in the directory. Each application no longer requires a separate policy repository or server. Storing policies and user information using a hierarchical information model enables enforcing these policies in a prescriptive manner. That is, the policy entries can be created at specific administrative points in the Directory Information Tree (DIT) instead of having to duplicate these policies as attributes of every user entry in the directory. The administrative points in the tree can be more quickly and easily searched as opposed to searching every user.
For example,
The policies that can be created and enforced by the Directory can be classified into provisioning, authentication, and authorization policies. These policies are described in detail below.
An example use of a enterprise wide security and provisioning policy is shown in
1. Provisioning Policies
In one embodiment, provisioning policies are enforced primarily at the time of user provisioning. A Provisioning Policy grants a person access to many types of managed resources, such as the Information Technology Investment Management (ITIM) server, Windows NT servers, Solaris servers, and so on. Access to a resource defined as a target on a Provisioning Policy is guaranteed for a person as long as the person is a member of the policy. The membership types for a policy are categorized as one of the following: all persons in an organization, a person's organizational role, or other (people not in an organizational role that is directly associated with a Provisioning Policy).
If the Provisioning Policy grants access to all people in an organization, then all people in the Organization have access to the service. If the Provisioning Policy grants access to an Organizational Role, then those people who belong to a particular Organizational Role are granted access to the service. As soon as a person has an account and can access the managed resource, the functions that can be performed within the managed resource are administered by the service.
2. Authentication Policies
Authentication policies are created at specific administrative points in the directory and enforced at the time of user authentication. Some of the authentication policies implemented are Password policies, Kerberos policies, and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) policies. Each of these policies corresponds to a different mode of authentication as explained below, and these policies can be enforced at both an entry specific level and a prescriptive level.
When the directory server receives a user authentication request, the server first looks for any entry level policies that may be specified. If there are entry specific policies, those policies are enforced for that particular user. If there are no entry specific policies, the prescriptive policy specified at the nearest administrative point is enforced. If there are no prescriptive policies in the directory, then the default policy for that mode of authentication will be enforced.
Password Policies
Password policies are enforced for Directory user password-attribute-based authentication. Password policies can be categorized into password value policies and password state policies.
Password values policies are intended to deter a user from choosing easily detectable passwords. Some examples of the common password value policies include, enforcing a minimum and maximum length on the password, enforcing the presence of a minimum number of alphabetic, numeric and special characters, disallowing users from choosing their usernames, telephone numbers and simple words (e.g., welcome) as passwords, enforcing the maximum consecutive character types (alphabetic/numeric/punctuation), and restricting the maximum number instances of any character. In another embodiment, other sophisticated password value policies can be enforced via customized plug-ins.
Password state policies are intended to prevent brute force attacks and dictionary attacks on user passwords. Example password state policies include: Password expiration, Password expire warning and grace logins, Account lockout, Password history, and Password minimum age.
In another embodiment, a comprehensive password management service can also include a self-service password reset feature. This enables users to reset their own passwords in the event of account lockout, password expiration, and forgotten passwords. This drastically reduces the volume of help desk calls, the majority of which are requests for password reset. The self-service reset of passwords can be achieved via the Delegated Administration Service which enables users to set up their own password hints.
Kerberos Policies
Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. It is designed to provide strong authentication for client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography. Kerberos policies are enforced for kerberos ticket based authentication. Example Kerberos policies include: Enforce User Logon Restrictions, Maximum Lifetime That a User Ticket Can Be Renewed, Maximum Service Ticket Lifetime, Maximum Tolerance for Synchronization of Computer Clocks, and Maximum User Ticket Lifetime.
Enforce User Logon Restrictions—When this option is enabled, the Key Distribution Center (KDC) validates every request for a session ticket by examining the user rights policy on the target computer to verify that the user has the right either to log on locally or to access the computer from the network. It is also a check to ensure the requesting account is still valid.
Maximum Lifetime That a User Ticket Can Be Renewed—This is the maximum lifetime of a ticket (either a Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) or a session ticket) In one embodiment, the policy specifies this is for a "user ticket." No ticket can be renewed after this time.
Maximum Service Ticket Lifetime—A "service ticket" is a session ticket and the lifetime of a service ticket must be less than the setting for "Maximum user ticket lifetime."
Maximum Tolerance for Synchronization of Computer Clocks—This Kerberos policy sets a tolerance amount of minutes. When the different between the KDC clock and the Kerberos client's clock reaches the tolerance amount, tickets are no longer issued for the client. This is a deterrent against Replay attacks.
Maximum User Ticket Lifetime—A "user ticket" is a ticket granting ticket and must be renewed after this time (i.e., the ticket will not exist after this time unless renewed).
PKI Policies
PKI policies are enforced for certificate based authentication and these policies can be categorized into constraints specific policies and extension based policies. Some of the common constraint specific policies are described in the following paragraphs.
Key Algorithm Constraint—This is to certify only those keys that are generated using a cryptographic algorithm, such as the RSA algorithm are used.
RSA Key Constraint—This policy certifies only RSA keys of specified lengths are used.
Issuance Validity Constraints—This policy checks whether or not a certificate has expired or is about to expire.
Revocation Constraints—This policy allows or rejects requests for revocation of expired certificates.
Unique Certificate Constraints—This policy restricts certificates from being issued to the same name for the same purpose.
3. Authorization Policies
In another embodiment, authorization policies like Role Based Access Control (RBAC) policies can be specified and enforced in the directory server using this framework.
The RBAC authorization model allows a wide range of access control policies to be specified in a relatively simple way. A common authorization model shared by a wide range of applications will simplify authorization administration. The same methods can be used to control access in a large number of applications. In this scenario, the Directory server not only serves as the central repository of roles and their associated permissions but also as an authorization policy enforcement engine.
The RBAC framework can support an enterprise deployment model with tools and interfaces for centralized administration of all applications. The set of operations that require authorization and the permissions required to exercise them can be determined at design time. Optionally, these permissions may be assigned to roles that are also defined at application design time. At deployment time, an administrator can construct new roles based on these predefined roles and permissions and assign them to users.
To support the enforcement of these authorization policies, the Directory server implements an authorization evaluation and enforcement engine that can answer questions concerning the policy. This will allow applications to determine such things as:
(1) The set of roles assigned to a user; or
(2) The permissions derived from a set of roles; or
(3) Whether a user with a given set of roles can perform a specific operation on a specified object.
The usage model is conceptually quite simple. The application relies on the DIT to make all authorization decisions for it. The application designer must identify the set of operations it wishes to protect. Each such operation must be mapped to a set of required permissions (i.e., operations paired with object identifiers).
When a user is authenticated, the authorization policy server will be queried to determine what roles are available for the session. Before executing an operation on the session, the application must query the DIT to determine if the session's roles provide the permissions required to execute the operation. If so, the operation is executed. If not, it is rejected. This interaction is shown in
The interaction begins with a request to execute operation foo on object obj1 in process action 501. The application receives the request on an authenticated session. When the session was authenticated, the application queried the Directory Server to determine the roles this user had been granted (r1, r2, r3) 502. Process action 504 fetches the operations that the granted roles are allowed to perform on the specified object (obj1) form the DIT. Process action 508 compares the set of authorized operations against the requested operation (i.e., foo) and determines if the requested operation is authorized. If the operation is authorized, process action 510 allows the request and executes the operation foo. If the operation is not authorized, process action 514 denies the request for execution of the operation. Process action 516 sends the appropriate authorization or rejection notification.
System Architecture Overview
The execution of the sequences of instructions required to practice the embodiments may be performed by a computer system 1400 as shown in
A computer system 1400 according to an embodiment will now be described with reference to
Each computer system 1400 may include a communication interface 1414 coupled to the bus 1406. The communication interface 1414 provides two-way communication between computer systems 1400. The communication interface 1414 of a respective computer system 1400 transmits and receives electrical, electromagnetic or optical signals, that include data streams representing various types of signal information, e.g., instructions, messages and data. A communication link 1415 links one computer system 1400 with another computer system 1400. For example, the communication link 1415 may be a LAN, in which case the communication interface 1414 may be a LAN card, or the communication link 1415 may be a PSTN, in which case the communication interface 1414 may be an integrated services digital network (ISDN) card or a modem, or the communication link 1415 may be the Internet, in which case the communication interface 1414 may be a dial-up, cable or wireless modem.
A computer system 1400 may transmit and receive messages, data, and instructions, including program, i.e., application, code, through its respective communication link 1415 and communication interface 1414. Received program code may be executed by the respective processor(s) 1407 as it is received, and/or stored in the storage device 1410, or other associated non-volatile media, for later execution.
In an embodiment, the computer system 1400 operates in conjunction with a data storage system 1431, e.g., a data storage system 1431 that contains a database 1432 that is readily accessible by the computer system 1400. The computer system 1400 communicates with the data storage system 1431 through a data interface 1433. A data interface 1433, which is coupled to the bus 1406, transmits and receives electrical, electromagnetic or optical signals, that include data streams representing various types of signal information, e.g., instructions, messages and data. In embodiments, the functions of the data interface 1433 may be performed by the communication interface 1414.
Computer system 1400 includes a bus 1406 or other communication mechanism for communicating instructions, messages and data, collectively, information, and one or more processors 1407 coupled with the bus 1406 for processing information. Computer system 1400 also includes a main memory 1408, such as a random access memory (RAM) or other dynamic storage device, coupled to the bus 1406 for storing dynamic data and instructions to be executed by the processor(s) 1407. The main memory 1408 also may be used for storing temporary data, i.e., variables, or other intermediate information during execution of instructions by the processor(s) 1407.
The computer system 1400 may further include a read only memory (ROM) 1409 or other static storage device coupled to the bus 1406 for storing static data and instructions for the processor(s) 1407. A storage device 1410, such as a magnetic disk or optical disk, may also be provided and coupled to the bus 1406 for storing data and instructions for the processor(s) 1407.
A computer system 1400 may be coupled via the bus 1406 to a display device 1411, such as, but not limited to, a cathode ray tube (CRT), for displaying information to a user. An input device 1412, e.g., alphanumeric and other keys, is coupled to the bus 1406 for communicating information and command selections to the processor(s) 1407.
According to one embodiment, an individual computer system 1400 performs specific operations by their respective processor(s) 1407 executing one or more sequences of one or more instructions contained in the main memory 1408. Such instructions may be read into the main memory 1408 from another computer-usable medium, such as the ROM 1409 or the storage device 1410. Execution of the sequences of instructions contained in the main memory 1408 causes the processor(s) 1407 to perform the processes described herein. In alternative embodiments, hard-wired circuitry may be used in place of or in combination with software instructions. Thus, embodiments are not limited to any specific combination of hardware circuitry and/or software. Logic refers to hardware, software or any combination of hardware and software.
The term "computer-usable medium," as used herein, refers to any medium that provides information or is usable by the processor(s) 1407. Such a medium may take many forms, including, but not limited to, non-volatile, volatile and transmission media. Non-volatile media, i.e., media that can retain information in the absence of power, includes the ROM 1409, CD ROM, magnetic tape, and magnetic discs. Volatile media, i.e., media that can not retain information in the absence of power, includes the main memory 1408. Transmission media includes coaxial cables, copper wire and fiber optics, including the wires that comprise the bus 1406. Transmission media can also take the form of carrier waves; i.e., electromagnetic waves that can be modulated, as in frequency, amplitude or phase, to transmit information signals. Additionally, transmission media can take the form of acoustic or light waves, such as those generated during radio wave and infrared data communications.
In the foregoing specification, the embodiments have been described with reference to specific elements 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 embodiments. For example, the reader is to understand that the specific ordering and combination of process actions shown in the process flow diagrams described herein is merely illustrative, and that using different or additional process actions, or a different combination or ordering of process actions can be used to enact the embodiments. The specification and drawings are, accordingly, to be regarded in an illustrative rather than restrictive sense.

Celebrating their latest creation, the cast of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" hit up the 2014 Cannes Film Festival this weekend.
With fans eagerly awaiting the next installment in the "Hunger Games" trilogy, Jennifer Lawrence was hard at work on the set of "Mockingjay" in Paris on Thursday (May 15).
The actress, who plays Katniss Everdeen in the films, was decked out in battle gear as she took a break between takes.
After jetting back to the States for the New York City premiere of "X-Men: Days of Future Past," Jennifer Lawrence got back to work in Paris, France on Monday (May 12).
Getting back to work on their popular film franchise, Jennifer Lawrence joined Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson in Paris, France on Thursday (May 8) to shoot scenes for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay."
He's a confident and successful movie star these days, but that hasn't always been the case for Josh Hutcherson.
During his interview on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" last night (November 26), the "Hunger Games: Catching Fire" hunk came clean about his admiration of Justin Timberlake back in the day.
Celebrating the success of "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," Josh Hutcherson stopped by "Late Night with David Letterman" on Monday night (November 25).
The Box Office reports have been updated, and everyone's expectations for the highly anticipated "Catching Fire" have been met and exceeded. However, the question was not whether the movie would make the big buck, but just how much it would rake in.
Taking his turn on the famous late night staple, Josh Hutcherson hosted the November 23 episode of "Saturday Night Live."
Giving a nod to the success of his current film work, "The Hunger Games" hunk helped cast members recruit for their own version of the games during his opening monologue, with the assistance of Kate McKinnon, who was all dolled up like Effie Trinket.

The information contained within the following news articles have been pre published. The articles were published on the dates indicated and the information contained within these issues include references to taxation, legislation, regulation and other issues or concerns that may no longer apply
Bypass Trusts and their Inheritance Tax Treatment (IHT)
A bypass trust is a trust simply used to receive death benefits from a pension which is paid at the discretion of the pension scheme trustees. This has potentially attractive IHT benefits when compared to them being paid directly to normally the surviving spouse. We normally associate pension death benefits as being free from any IHT for the member.
However as the member will likely have nominated his spouse as the beneficiary the proceeds will just simply accumulate in the estate of the spouse. Besides IHT is only due on passing assets down a generation and not to the surviving spouse. If the death benefits are paid directly to a surviving spouse then on their death there could be a potential liability of 40%.
The bypass trust can be used to mitigate this problem. The bypass trust is setup by the member during their lifetime. This can be done by gifting a nominal sum (£10) into the trust. You would then need to make sure you have nominated the trust as your preferred beneficiary by notifying the trustees. This is usually done with a nomination or expression of wish form. It is important to note that not all schemes will allow a trust to be nominated.
The trust will include a wide range of beneficiaries, giving the trustees the power to use their discretion to make sure all dependants can receive their share.
The bypass trust will usually be a discretionary trust and therefore there are tax implications as follows:
- On creation of the trust
- 10 yearly periodic reviews
- Exit charges
As mentioned earlier if the trust is set up with a nominal sum, say £10, then this will be within the annual allowance and there will be no immediate charge to IHT. If the trust is set up with a larger investment then there is potential IHT implications depending upon whether or not the member has used up their annual exemption and also the total of their chargeable transfers made in the last 7 years. If tax is payable on set up it will be at 20% on the excess over and above the Nil rate Band.
The payment of the death benefits (whenever that may occur) will not trigger an IHT charge as these were held under trust by the pension scheme originally.
Depending on the type of pension scheme and when the trust is set up, there may be one periodic charge date (ten year anniversary of the trust) or two periodic charge dates. The two dates can be ten years from, the date the trust was established and the date member joined the pension scheme or alternatively ten years from the date the trust was established and the date the death benefits were paid into the trust.
Upon paying a distribution from the trust (note it doesn't all have to be distributed at once) there may be an exit charge due. The rate of tax applicable will be a proportion of the rate that was applied on the last periodic charge date, based upon the number of successive quarters that have passed since. Where different dates apply to different parts of the trust, the charge will have to be applied proportionately with different rates applying to each part as the number of quarters elapsed may be different.
To summarise, by using a bypass trust, you can ensure that pension death benefits do not just simply increase the IHT your family may have to pay upon the surviving spouses death. The monies in the trust fund do not form part of the beneficiaries estate until a distribution is made. Although this could be done by way of interest free loans to the beneficiary. There may be some IHT charges whilst the money is in the trust if the value of the trust fund is above the available Nil Rate Band.

As touch screens and e-books demand more and more attention from both casual readers and scholars, many people say the handwriting is on the wall for the printed page.
At UTSA, the handwriting is on the wall for a library that doesn't have any printed books.
Since March 2010, the bookless library in the Applied Engineering and Technology Building has given UTSA students an innovative way to read, research and work with each other to solve problems.
With ultra-modern furniture and a décor featuring desktop computers, scanners and LCD screens, the AET Library is designed to engage students in an online format. But it also offers group study niches and study rooms with whiteboards and glass walls on which students can write. The space encourages teamwork, communications and problem solving for the next generation of scientists and professional engineers.
Did you know? The UTSA AET Library is the nation's first completely bookless library on a college or university campus. It served as a model for Bexar County's first-in-the-nation public bookless library system and one of its branches, the Dr. Ricardo Romo BiblioTech.
The University of Texas at San Antonio is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge through research and discovery, teaching and learning, community engagement and public service. As an institution of access and excellence, UTSA embraces multicultural traditions and serves as a center for intellectual and creative resources as well as a catalyst for socioeconomic development and the commercialization of intellectual property - for Texas, the nation and the world.
To be a premier public research university, providing access to educational excellence and preparing citizen leaders for the global environment.
We encourage an environment of dialogue and discovery, where integrity, excellence, inclusiveness, respect, collaboration and innovation are fostered.

Each month, Kym Gordon Moore moderates open mic poetry readings for adults at the Indian Trail Cultural Arts Center. These readings are scheduled for the second Saturday in each month. "This is the first time we are doing a poetry workshop and reading especially for children," says Moore. "In the past, kids of all ages participated in our poetry readings, along with the adults. This time however, the workshop is followed by each young poet reading the poem they created in front of our regular open mic poetry supporters. The object of this project is to challenge the imagination and creativity of our young, aspiring poets. We will discuss and implement the construction of a themed poem and our youngsters will create a collage to use as a backdrop for their poem. Imagery always makes a poem visually stimulating. We are excited, the kids are excited and the parents/grandparents are proud."
Upon completion of the workshop and reading, participants will receive a certificate of completion. For more information about signing up for the My Great Summer Vacation Adventure Poetry Workshop, contact Susan Didier, Indian Trail Community Development Specialist at 704-821-2541 or by email firstname.lastname@example.com for more details. Space is limited, so register interested youngsters as soon as possible.

Some assembly required Jonathan from Bumpass, VA on 10/01/2014 – Verified Buyer
Comes in a heavy flat cardboard box and requires assembly. But everything is prepunched or drilled so it goes together pretty well. HOWEVER: watch that step ten. It doesn't tell you how to position the frame that holds the computer. Look for the holes in the adjoining piece to position it two steps further along. And look at the drawings of the completely assembled desk. This was a good price for a hutchless computer desk.

Sauder Camden County Computer Desk VicD from Waxhaw, NC on 11/20/2011 – Verified Buyer
Needed a computer desk to accomodate a large monitor, printer and tower. From the photos this Sauders desk fit my needs. The desk was everything I expected and more. It is a quite heavy and sturdy unit. It took about 2 hours to assemble by myself, because there were a lot of pieces and hardware, but directions were easy to follow. I did an inventory of everything in the box to make sure everything was present and laid all the pieces out to make sure they were easy to find when assembling. Only help I needed was turning the desk right side up after most of it was assembled since the desk is assembled upside down for all the shelving and drawers. Quite happy with the large size of the keyboardmouse roll out shelf and the storage shelf and drawer.

I have the following code:
public interface IMyInterface
DataGrid ItemsInGrid { get; set; }
partial public class MyClass: Window, IMyInterface
public DataGrid ItemsInGrid
get { return grdItemsInGrid}
set { grdItemsInGrid= value; }
In a Different file:
partial public class MyClass: Window
private System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid grdItemsInGrid;
// Reference to private variable here
// This is the designer portion that actually sets up the
// private variable to be shown on the form.
Now resharper wants me to convert
ItemsInGrid to an autoproperty (
public DataGrid ItemsInGrid{ get; set; })
How can this be an equal transformation? An autoproperty would create a hidden backing variable that would not match up to the private
grdItemsInGrid right?
Is resharper broken? or is there something in C#.NET that I am not aware of?
EDIT: I am sensing a common miss-communication here. grdItemsInGrid is a grid that is displayed on a form (MyClass actually implements Window). The idea is to grant access to grdItemsInGrid to scenarios where MyClass is passed as an IMyInterface to a method.

"Wow what an amazing place. First impressions walking in to the beautiful open concept house was the 14ft. cedar plank table and the wall of windows over looking the ocean. Every morning coming downstairs looking out that wall of windows felt like Christmas morning. This place is awesome. Big, bright, clean really private all the modern appliances you could want in a fully stocked house. Close enough to town for a nice walk. Mostly loved spending time on the back deck watching the ocean, looking for whales spouts out over the water. At night fire pit right on the beach and the first time I ever saw stars that went down to the ocean - horizon. I would love to be here for different seasons of the year. Walked on Long Beach, had lunch at Wickinninish Inn, took in story telling with Roy Vickers - famous Native Artist and purchased a print and had it signed by him. Toured through Tofino and Ucluelet all the little shops there's something for everyone. I am blessed to have spent time with these strong women whom I love dearly and admire tremendously.

Saturday, February 03, 2001

General Dynamics Awarded $18 Billion by U.S. Navy for 10 Virginia-Class Submarines
GROTON, Conn. –
The U.S. Navy today underscored its commitment to an advanced and adaptable submarine force by awarding General Dynamics Electric Boat a contract valued at $17.6 billion for the construction of 10 additional Virginia-class submarines. Electric Boat is a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD).
The multi-year Block IV contract enables Electric Boat and its industry teammate, Newport News Shipbuilding, to proceed with the construction of two ships per year over a five-year period. Construction of the first Block IV submarine, SSN-792, will begin May 1. The 10th ship to be procured under this contract is scheduled for delivery in 2023.
Virginia-class submarines are designed from the keel up for the full range of 21st century mission requirements, including anti-submarine and surface ship warfare and special operations support. These submarines excel in littoral and open-ocean environments and collect intelligence critical to irregular warfare efforts with advanced intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. Unobtrusive, non-provocative and connected with land, air, sea and space-based assets, these versatile and powerful vessels are a core component of the Navy fleet and support national security interests.
Ships of the Virginia class exemplify the commitment by the Navy and industry to reduce costs without decreasing capabilities through a multi-year procurement strategy, continuous improvements in construction practices and cost-reduction design changes.
"This award has great significance for the U.S. Navy, our company and the entire submarine industrial base," said Jeffrey S. Geiger, president of Electric Boat. "By continuing to produce two ships per year, the Navy and industry team retains the stability required to achieve increased efficiencies, providing the fleet with the submarines it needs to sustain the nation's undersea dominance."
"This is the largest number of boats ordered to date in a single contract block, which is great news – particularly in light of today's challenging economic and political environments," said Newport News Shipbuilding President Matt Mulherin. "The Virginia-class program has already proven itself to be one of the best, if not the best, performing shipbuilding programs in the country and we look forward to continuing our important role in building these submarines."
Electric Boat and Newport News Shipbuilding already have delivered 10 Virginia-class submarines to the Navy: USS Virginia (SSN-774), USS Texas (SSN-775), USS Hawaii (SSN-776), USS North Carolina (SSN-777), USS New Hampshire (SSN-778), USS New Mexico (SSN-779), USS Missouri (SSN-780), USS California (SSN-781), USS Mississippi (SSN-782) and USS Minnesota (SSN-783). Eight additional submarines are under construction.
Virginia-class submarines displace 7,800 tons, with a hull length of 377 feet and a diameter of 34 feet. They are capable of speeds in excess of 25 knots and can dive to a depth greater than 800 feet, while carrying Mark 48 advanced capability torpedoes, Tomahawk land-attack missiles and unmanned underwater vehicles.
General Dynamics Electric Boat has established standards of excellence in the design, construction and lifecycle support of U.S. Navy submarines.In its position as an industry leader, Electric Boat remains committed to advancing its technical strengths, while providing the business expertise to effectively manage the challenges of nuclear-submarine production. The company's two primary locations are in Groton and Quonset Point, R.I. Its current workforce is approximately 12,000 employees.

15 October 2004Dear Friends of Kibera,
It's been an eventful six months in the Kibera slum of Nairobi, Kenya, when the government of Kenya had just completed a vast slum eradication program that resulted in the abrupt displacement of over 50,000 families. International and domestic pressure, to include a coalition of NGOs involving CFK, stopped these disastrous initiatives. However, violence over land disputes renewed this past September when mass rioting resulted in the torching of the area chief's office and two deaths. A number of casualties of this violence were treated at our clinic.
Unfortunately, despite the rhetoric, few government resources have reached Kibera in the past year-and-a-half. Virtually all estimates now place the Kibera's population between 1 and 1.4 million people. No government schools have been built in the slum. The price of water has increased 30% for residents, who on average pay twice as much for dirty water as Nairobi's affluent elite pay for clean water.
In this challenging climate, CFK programs have continued to thrive thanks in no small part to our wide base of committed supporters in the U.S., Europe, and Africa. Our work brings light to thousands of Kibera residents and is a positive influence in difficult times. Some highlights are below. Thanks again for your interest in CFK.

Neoseeker : Games : Nintendo Wii : Classic & Puzzle : Puzzle Games : Wordsnake
cheats | faqs | screens | forums | friendcodes
BackgroundIn Wordsnake, the aim of the game is to build words of 3-8 letters from the random selection on the tile rack, and reach a target score before the time runs out.
Each new word is placed on the board from an existing letter tile, forming snake like structures, which means the words must begin or end with the existing letter. Subsequent tiles will disappear after a set time, which means the player must form new words to keep the snake alive and invalid words will reduce the players score.
- New features include the ability to randomly shuffle letters and move letters to a second tile rack to help with word construction. Special tiles let the player gain extra lives, decrease/increase remaining level time.

A conservative Irish philosopher is all the rage in China's academic circles. The unlikely favor shines of philosopher Edmund Burke as the once revolutionary government of China becomes the establishment.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Asia Pacific
Keywords: China, Mao, Burke, one-child policy
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The revolution of Mao is routinely lauded in the Chinese society. Traditionally conservative, Mao and the Communists brought a new way of living and thinking to the Chinese state. While society became more equal and innovative, it also became more oppressive and restrictive under communism.
That restrictiveness was beneficial as the government consolidated and exercised power over the past half-century manifested in policies such as rural serfdom and the infamous one-child policy. However, in due time, those policies have become unpopular with the increasingly savvy Chinese people.
Now, in a move that sounds almost heretical, Mao is being replaced by Edmund Burke.
China has enjoyed a decade of economic prosperity with a middle class larger than any other in the world. The Chinese economy continues to grow and culture is changing as social networking and smartphones become ubiquitous. Once, the officials state-run media was the only news people received. Now, news travels in real-time, making it harder to control people and their attitudes.
With the communist regime firmly entrenched, it no longer serves the state to talk so loudly of revolution.
Enter Edmund Burke. Burke was the 18th century Irish-born philosopher who became the father of modern conservatism. Burke was a supporter of the American revolutions, saying that circumstances were such that when combined with the lack of reforms on behalf of Parliament, revolution became a worthy act. Conversely, he viewed the French Revolution less favorably.
Burke made the analogy of an old father and his son to explain his point. "...we are taught to look with horror on those children of their country who are prompt rashly to hack that aged parent in pieces and put him into the kettle of magicians, in hopes that by their poisonous weeds and wild incantations they may regenerate the paternal constitutions and renovate their father's life."
In other words, revolution was akin to murdering one's own father.
In Chinese culture such a thought is well beyond criminal. This is precisely why the Chinese government is permitting a Western conservative into their universities.
Burke's writings would have been burned decades ago, but today he is the voice that when properly filtered through the Chinese intelligentsia, tells people they should seek gentle reform of their government from within rather than dramatic revolution from without.
It's a natural move, given that the Chinese government is now firmly entrenched in power and The Revolution is now a distant memory.
For its part, the Chinese government has already pledged to reform things like the one-child policy and rural serfdom. These would be gentle reforms undertaken from within. Of course, they are necessary. China has a financially empowered middle-class that is worried about troubled times ahead. Like any economy, prosperity can't last forever.
China also has a huge population of males, a consequence of the one-child policy and sex-selective abortions and infanticide.
These pressures --or as Burke would call them, circumstances, color the present situation dramatically. Combined with social media, and a desire to be recognized as a superpower, Burke serves the Chinese state by telling the masses, especially college students, to remain calm and mind their place as the government implements reform.
So this is why the Chinese government is embracing British conservatism. It isn't that Maoist Communism has failed so much that Western conservatism is useful to the state.
Ironically, as Mao is replaced by Burke, one has to muse, the very practical Chairman Mao himself would probably be pleased by the change.
