What's up Shawty?
Take a good look, you will never see a real boy like me
Summer like a rock star
Rockin' the club every night
They all say I'm nice
I'm international from Malawi to Tokyo
Pretty girls wanna get down on me
And they have my babies everywhere I go
I'm callin' all the rude boys out there
We got these girls throwin' bars in the air
Poppin' bottles every night, hell yeah
Although she's got a boy she'll spendin' our money
We both don't care

Life Of Brian
delivers the life and death of Brian of Nazareth, a typical Galilean with no similarities to Jesus of Nazareth other than, er, being visited by wise men from the east at his birth (before they realize their mistake and move on to the stable next door), being thought to be the Messiah by large crowds of devoted followers, and being crucified by the Romans.
: What's this then? "Romanes Eunt Domus"? People called Romanes, they go to the house?
Brian (defiantly)
: It says "Romans go home."
: No it doesn't. What's Latin for Romans?
(slaps him)
Come on...come on...
: Romanus!
: Goes like?
: Er...annus.
Centurion (tweaking Brian's hair)
: Vocative plural of annus is...?
: Anni.
Centurion (crossing out Es and substituting I)
: Romani...
In my experience, this scene is a good yardstick of the difference between how Americans and English understand
's comedy. Americans seem to understand it as a joke about school and teachers. English understand it as a joke about the class system.
Sorry, but I'm just not getting the class system angle. Is the ability to use proper grammar a stereotype of class in Britain?
is largely restricted to public (i.e. private) schools now
American says Bwah?
I'm British, and i think it's a school joke. But then, i did Latin despite going to a state school ... --
The sketch is multilayered: it is
a school joke and a joke about the class system. The Centurion has an upper-class British accent, while the Jews have working class British accents, reflecting the upper-class minority ruling over the working class masses. In Britain at the time, a classical education was seen as the mark of a gentleman: state-funded schools rarely teach latin while in public (privately funded) schools it is often compulsory to take at least a few years of latin. Finally, the Centurion acts as a complete idiot, making the Jewish partisans paint anti-Roman slogans all over the walls before finally realizing what they have done. The Python team often portrayed the upper classes, and especially the aristocratic officer class, as idiotic twits: c.f. the Upper Class Twit Of the Year sketch, and many other sketches in Python, Sorry I'll Read That Again, That Was the Week That Was, The Frost Report, etc. -- Anonymous?
I think it is a joke about the
itself!!! --
In Pompeii some Latin graffiti were preserved. As you would expect, their spelling and grammar were no better than in modern graffiti (in fact some of the misspellings were instructive for deducing how Latin was pronounced). I think part of the joke is that people forget that Latin was not always learnt perfectly, even in Roman times.
A bit of a different topic here: Notice the accents the (American made) Charlton Heston Ben Hur movie. The Jews and Arabs have American, Israeli, etc. accents, and the Romans speak upper-class British.
My favourite piece of graffiti is some original Latin "B Muir Stupedos est" carved over Egyptian hieroglyphics on the wall of a temple.... (Can't remember which temple. Will find out & edit in) I thought it showed a fantastic glimpse of Roman personality similar to the Python movie. You know some ancient Roman chiseling away defacing text that would have been even ancient to them. -- Penni
"Nobody is to stone anybody, until I blow this whistle. Even - and I want to make this absolutely clear -
if they
say Jeho--OW!!!"
: Look. You've got it all wrong. You don't need to follow me. You don't need to follow anybody! You've got to think for yourselves. You're all individuals!
Crowd (together)
: Yes, we're all individuals!
: You're all different!
Crowd (together)
: Yes, we are all different!
: I'm not.
Always look on the bright side of life...
Gotta love the stoning sequence. Men playing women dressed as men.
My favourite MontyPythonQuote
is from the
: "He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!"
Blessed are the cheesemakers.
I like the Judean People's Front, the People's Front of Judea, and the Popular Party (he's over there).

The eleventh-hour surprise decision by Pennsylvania lawmakers to ban natural-gas exploration across a swath of suburban Philadelphia is another sign that the region isn't ready for drilling rigs. It's possible that it never will be.
In pushing through a drilling ban across a little-known rock formation in Bucks and Montgomery Counties, State Sen. Charles McIlhinney, R-Bucks, said he wanted to assure that communities were protected while experts evaluate a new report that identifies gas reserves under the two counties.
The formation known as the South Newark Basin also reaches across central New Jersey, and a U.S. Geological Survey report in June estimated it may yield 876 billion cubic feet of natural gas.
It's not that drillers are clamoring to move into these suburbs, with vastly richer Marcellus Shale gas fields already being tapped from Pittsburgh to the New York border.
Indeed, McIlhinney's measure may have more to do with assuaging community anger over state-imposed rules that tie local officials' hands in using zoning to limit drilling.
The local ban's most important impact could be that it reinforces a region-wide drilling moratorium put in place by the multistate agency governing the Delaware River basin.
Across a four-state watershed, the drinking water for 15 million people would be imperiled if gas-drilling operations that pump millions of gallons of water, chemicals, and sand deep into the ground should go wrong.
Given such high stakes, the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) wisely imposed its moratorium more than a year ago while it developed rules under which drilling might be permitted.
But fears about the purity of the state's drinking water cannot be regulated away easily.
Those concerns rightly prompted Delaware Gov. Jack Markell, a DRBC delegate, to halt any move toward lifting the moratorium for now. While the agency plans to meet Wednesday, there fortunately appears to be no renewed push to open the watershed yet.
Far from lifting its moratorium, the multistate agency should consider enacting a permanent ban on drilling as the only sure way to address Markell's warning that widespread gas-drilling contamination could leave "freshwater supplies likely requiring generations of effort to clean up."
Industry and state environmental regulators continue to discount any risk of water pollution from the hydraulic-fracturing drilling process, known as fracking. But a new Duke University study concludes that pathways in rock formations could allow chemicals and water contaminated by fracking to reach water supplies.
Against a backdrop of plummeting natural-gas prices, there may be less industry pressure to move into the region's watershed. At the same time, fewer wells will mean that the state's long-overdue impact fee on drillers probably won't produce the predicted revenue - funds that, in part, are needed to assure adequate environmental regulatory oversight by Gov. Corbett's pro-drilling administration.
In that type of climate, the best course for the state's largest region to date that remains free of shale-gas drilling rigs would be to keep it that way.

I know, I know – I just posted Chanel Dror's cover of a Z-Ro classic. But the Houston native is on a roll.
Here, her take on fellow Htown star Kirko Bangz's 2011 hit "Drank in My Cup." (Explicit language warning.) It's wholly different from the original but manages to evoke the same spirit.
Much more ridiculous, but arguably as awesome, is this video of "Full House" character Stephanie Tanner dancing to Dror's "R U Jealous Yet."
You're welcome.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Riverbed Technology, (UNKNOWN: RVBD.DL ) jumped 16% Friday after activist investor Elliot Associates disclosed it has obtained a 9% stake in the wide area network specialist and will push it to find ways to increase shareholder value.
So what: Specifically, Elliot Associates stated it believes Riverbed Technology stock is "significantly undervalued," especially considering Riverbed possesses "extremely loyal customers" and "occupies a mission-critical position in thousands of networks." What's more, Elliot believes Riverbed should implement a strategic review to decide how to best optimize its operations and capital structure in a way that maximize shareholder returns.
Now what: Riverbed Technology, for its part, elaborated further in a subsequent SEC Filing, saying "Elliott believes that these initiatives will prudently, but significantly, provide a meaningful increase to the company's valuation. We have detailed these observations to the Board of Directors of [Riverbed] and look forward to a constructive dialogue."

Pension Funding Reform: It's Time to Get the Rules Right (Part 1)
Kathryn J. Kennedy
John Marshall Law School
Tax Notes, Vol. 108, No. 9, August 22, 2005
In this two-part article, the author explains how and why ERISA's historical pension funding rules - although well-intentioned - nevertheless led employers, such as United Airlines' parent UAL Corp., to have seriously underfunded pension plans, and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. to assume billions of dollars of those unfunded liabilities. Before future pension reform measures should be considered, Kennedy believes that we should learn from the past. Mistakes created through legislative rules should not be repeated, but instead their lessons should help forge effective pension funding reforms.
The second part of the article will discuss various legislative proposals pending before Congress and the policy considerations relevant to those proposals, in light of the historical mistakes that should be avoided in impending legislation.

Two men who were scheduled to meet in court due to a dispute cant seem to put the dispute to rest, according to a recent police report.
One of the men lives here and owns property in another state. He said his tenant on that property has been harassing him, the report said.
There is a restraining order against the tenant, but it didnt stop there. According to a police report, the victim told police that the tenant recently emailed him and said, I will be in your neck of the woods and Ive Mapquested the directions.
The court order states that the tenant is not to see or have contact with the victim until the court date. A police report regarding this incident was requested as documentation should something happen in the future.
The voices
Police were dispatched to a restaurant in reference to a suicidal male.
When they arrived, officers spotted the man in question sitting at a table. As they approached, the subject handed over his ID and stated that voices were telling him to kill himself, a police report said.
He was taken outside and searched to make sure he did not have any weapons that could harm himself or officers. EMS was also called. They recognized the man to be a person who sometimes stops taking his medicine and becomes suicidal, the report said.
The manager was questioned and told police that an employee was asked by the man to call 911. The man was taken to the hospital to be treated but was also placed on trespass notice from the establishment and the notice was presented to the man and explained.
Ill take that
Loss prevention officers at a local store witnessed and had on videotape, two girls leaving the store without paying for some items, according to a police report.
The girls were taken into custody and read their rights. According to the report, they both admitted to seeing some makeup they wanted but did not have any money to pay for it. The report also stated that the girls admitted to walking out of the store without paying for the items valued at $76. The officer observed the incident on the videotape as well, the report said.
They were both charged with shoplifting and the items were returned to the store.
Gassed up
A man who keeps his boat at a dock reported to police that a gas tank and the gas line had been stolen from his boat.
He said two tanks were tied to the boat and the tanks were covered. According to the report, he said he went to the boat and noticed the cover had been moved and one tank was missing and one tank was emptied. He said the facility has a gate that is normally locked, but ongoing construction caused the gate to be left open at times.
The estimated value of the missing property was $20 and there were no leads, according to the police report.
It was me
Police were called to a store where two men allegedly shoplifted items. The loss prevention officer told police that two men scanned and bagged many of the items in their cart, but skipped over several, including beverage cases under the cart.
Officers watched the surveillance video and witnessed the theft, the report said.
According to the report, it appeared one man did the scanning, or lack thereof, and the other did the bagging.
When the two men spoke to officers, one man said, It was me. It was my fault. My brother didnt know about it.
He was subsequently arrested for shoplifting $86.07 worth of merchandise, including three cases of energy drinks, two cases of sodas, ear drops and three pairs of shorts.
Smoked earlier
A county deputy pulled over to check on a car with extensive rear-end damage and called in Mount Pleasant Police as well. According to the report, the officers could smell alcohol. The driver was asked if he had been drinking and he said no, but the passenger piped in and said they smoked a blunt earlier, the report said.
The officer asked her to repeat that statement and according to the report, she changed her story and said she was the only one who had smoked marijuana that evening.
The driver was asked to explain what happened with the car and he said they were heading to North Charleston when the tire blew out and caused them to hit the concrete barrier.
The report said the man was swaying, and at that point, the officer asked him if he would take some field sobriety tests.
He agreed and again said he had not been drinking.
According to the report, he did not do so well on the first few tests, and when asked about glasses or contacts just before the eye nystagnus test, he said he had just gotten contacts the other day.
He must not have been used to them yet because he failed that test too, according to the report.
He also began getting agitated with the tests at this point, the report said, but he wished to proceed. The report said the driver had a hard time focusing and following instructions.
Moving on to the next test, the officer demonstrated the test and told the man not to move until he was told to do so. According to the report, the driver then began verbally assaulting the officer and said he did not want to do anymore tests because the officer was harassing him.
Officers decided to arrest the man for DUI, but when the officer went to handcuff him, he sprinted off across two lanes of highway, the report said. The officer was able to grab him and stop him.
The officer also investigated the accident and could clearly see that the car struck the concrete barrier, which caused the tire to blow and forced the car to hit the barrier a second time.
The man was charged with child endangerment, DUI and resisting arrest.
The Police Blotter is intended to be an informative and/or humorous column written from police reports obtained from the Mount Pleasant Police Department. Many of the stories come from the initial incident reports and, occasionally, supplemental reports. Generally, cases have not been adjudicated at the time of publication.

He may be behind bars, but former state Sen. Vince Fumo is still casting a long shadow over Philly policy debates.
As City Council contemplates how to provide protection for homeowners whose tax bills could soar under Mayor Nutter's proposed property-tax plan, a tax break passed by Fumo in 1988 may prove crucial.
The bill Fumo ushered through the Legislature 24 years ago allows the city to give tax relief to longtime residents of gentrifying neighborhoods. But to use the power, Council had to decide how much relief to grant and which sections of the city would be eligible — and it never could reach agreement.

2 March 2010: Speaking at the eighth Informal Meeting on Further Action against Climate Change, which took place in Tokyo, Japan, from 1-2 March 2010, Yvo de Boer, UNFCCC Executive Secretary, stressed the need for the climate change negotiations to get off to a good start following Copenhagen, and for confidence in the process to be rebuilt.
Recognizing that Copenhagen was "disappointing to some," he outlined the reasons why it was nonetheless a crucial event in the negotiating process. He recalled that, as of 18 February, 40 developed countries had submitted their 2020 targets with various base years, and 30 developing countries had communicated information on their mitigation plans, giving clear signals that "parties want global climate change action under the UNFCCC to move forward."
He underlined that the priority for 2010 will be "to reach consensus on as many of the outstanding issues as possible to allow for the adoption of an agreed outcome in Cancun," the venue for the 16th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC. De Boer classified the issues that remained unresolved in Copenhagen under three categories and underscored the need for parties to agree on "effective, transparent and inclusive working methods to take the work forward in a focused manner in 2010." He said the focus should be on: clarity on the future of the Kyoto Protocol; clear leadership by Annex I Parties; and the establishment of a fully operational architecture that makes it possible for developing countries to act on climate change.
De Boer further listed the points of convergence in the Copenhagen Accord, which he said could be used to conclude negotiations under the Bali Road Map in Mexico. However, he highlighted the need for parties to "know and plan for what they are working towards," in particular, to agree on the definition of "legally binding" and "compliance." Emphasizing the need to focus on substantive issues, he said "the negotiations would benefit from being somewhat depoliticized." [The Speech]

SickKids BELIEVE ornament
3" in diameter. 20% goes to SickKids. Silver plate and comes in a beautiful blue box.
A bright young boy named Ben inspired the suetables line for SickKids.
At four and a half years old, SickKids diagnosed him with the most common form of cancer affecting young children - acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). ALL affects the white blood cells and after months of fighting, Ben received a bone marrow transplant that saved his life.
Ben, now 13, listens to Green Day, loves skateboarding, soccer and shredding the steepest hills on his snowboard. Ben's a bit of a joker at heart, but no one makes him laugh harder than his older brother, Max. He is a loyal friend and competitive player - the best kind of big brother.
Ben likes his pizza with lots of cheese, his pickles sour and his aunties fudge brownies. He vows to never eat yogurt again -- the one food that helped mask the taste of countless spoonfuls of medicine during the year-long treatment at SickKids.
After his Auntie and Grandpa mentioned that cancer was their zodiac sign, Ben chimed in, "Yah I used to have cancer but not anymore."
Believe in Ben. Believe in SickKids. Because every child deserves to be healthy.
To date, Suetables has raised over $80,000 in Ben's name.

While JWU Challenge Part 1 works on a jewelry campaign, another group of students will be working on a program for one of our clients, a Retirement Seminar company that helps people prepare to transition their lives from busy and white-collar driven to an ideal retirement lifestyle.
The company will run their first seminar in February, in Miami.
Before then, the students' challenge is to create a marketing plan involving social media and mobile marketing to generate reservations. Out of state people are part of the target audience; fortunately convincing people up north to visit Miami in February isn't all that hard.
The general idea is that students will begin building relationships with prospects while guiding them to the client's free downloadable book, then through a series of intermediary products, and, finally, to the seminar.
By the end of 10 weeks the students will be judged on their final presentations. They will have to share the results of their efforts and the progress they have made with their programs. This will be fun: college students marketing to geezers.

Nearing Third Trimester: A 25-Week UpdateLauren Jimeson
It's hard to believe this pregnancy is more than halfway over and that I am nearing my third trimester. Finding out I was pregnant seems like it was only yesterday but actually was the beginning of summer. I guess running around the city with two little ones really does make everything feel like it goes by faster than it really does.
I am trying to enjoy as much of this pregnancy as I can knowing that it will likely be my last one. All of the kicks, late-night wake-ups, and even heartburn make it all worth it, and I am trying to embrace all of it.
I visited my doctor last week for a quick checkup and the dreaded glucose test.
Here are 8 thoughts as I near the third trimester:
The Baby: The baby is now the size of cauliflower. He moves around like crazy at all times of the day and will even wake me up at night when he kicks. I love having a very active baby, but wonder if this is an indication that he is going to be active all the time when we meet him!
How I'm Feeling Emotionally: My hormones have definitely started to get the best of me. I will cry at just about anything and everything now. My patience is thin, and I get frustrated easily, but I think it's because I'm upset that my body won't let me do things the way it used to.
How I'm Feeling Physically: Still feeling nauseous and throwing up nearly every morning. Thank goodness for Zofran. I'm still taking it three times a day and find that it really helps at night when I take it so that I'll wake up in the morning feeling much less nauseous. I've started having trouble sleeping, so a maternity pillow to help me sleep has been a must! I just got a new one and absolutely love it. I think I may be sleeping with it far after the pregnancy.
Weight Gain: Still gaining weight, which is a good thing, but also makes me uneasy. Gaining weight has always been hard on me emotionally, so I dread every time I have to go to the doctor and they tell me to step on the scale. So far I've gained around 13 pounds which is far more than I gained at this point with any of the girls. I'm not sure if it's because I am carrying a boy or because this is my third time around.
What I'm Craving: The cravings have kind of subsided for the time being. There isn't one particular thing I just have to have. It's weird because I definitely craved certain things with the girls, but now I am much less picky.
What I'm Wearing: I am wearing more and more maternity clothes. Dresses and tights have been my favorite because they are so loose and comfortable. I have really bad varicose and spider veins in my right leg that are relentless, so I am wearing compression tights and socks so much more now. They aren't very flattering, but they do help with the pain in my leg.
What I miss: I've been missing wine a lot lately. We've gone out to dinner with friends the past couple of weeks and the wine bottle has been on the table. It's hard not joining them for a glass.
What I'm looking forward to: Making it to the third trimester! Just three more weeks to go and then it's countdown time. I've been dreaming about meeting this little guy and it makes me more excited every time I think about it.

Charge cards can be in getting the things that you need your closest friend, but it can be your worst enemy when not applied precisely. Misuse, delayed or over none and application payments will be debt's main causes. As a way to escape this circumstance that is horrible, you have to do the correct action. If you should be currently 000, indebt for at least $10, you might find it difficult to do the restoration alone. You'll require specialist's help solve your issues about your credit standing.
debt settlement's main adverse part is what it could do to your credit history . It could influence it horribly as well as for years into the future . About the other had you'll not be unable to disappear from your own debts considerably faster than you'd of with no negotiation . Credit that is potential however will be extremely difficult to come by to get a longtime .
Once you've gotten a notion of where your cash goes, and just how much you're presently shelling out for your obligations, you must assembled a list of WHO you owe and JUST HOW MUCH you owe them. You-can't get out of debt should younot understand where you stand starting.
However, while that looks easy, it is the toughest option you possibly might choose, and there is support for credit card debt. You could be surprised how easily you can take the negative signoff of this number if you prepare right.
Several home owners genuinely believe that they should falsify their income claims and make it appear to be they are not earning money. They think this can obtain bank to reduce their obligations approach down. wrong! This can simply get your loan modification refused. You have to help you to exhibit your bank when they were to lessen them that one may actually manage your payments.
Looking at the profile of the company could be a valuable aspect. Their profiles are posted by many firms on the individual sites so you could move online http://pushbuttonfor.org/debt-settlement/ and look at them. Nevertheless, the majority of the furnished information is unauthentic. How would you check the info? There is a method to check the specific boundaries of a firm. Maybe you have learned about their providers as well as reduction networks? A relief system can be a pool of respectable settlement businesses. Each business features a different group of experience.
Consequently there you own it, you now understand what to look for in a debt negotiation company that is good. As a note, dealing with a good organization is important to finding a good fraction of one's debts eliminated and it's also to getting back your finances in great order, crucial. Good luck!

Identity propagation in SOA
For Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to be effective for aligning IT with business, the identity of service requestors must be able to flow through the entirety of a loosely coupled, composite application. Identity propagation in SOA is best considered the responsibility of the SOA infrastructure, not the applications themselves, in order to provide the flexibility required in a dynamic business environment. It is therefore logical that identity be considered as a service which can be invoked from various SOA infrastructure platforms such as application servers and Enterprise Service Buses (ESBs).
The WS-Trust specification (see Resources) provides a standards-based mechanism for SOA infrastructure to access an identity service to validate, transform and issue security tokens representing identities. A service that can respond to WS-Trust requests is called a Security Token Service (STS). Tivoli Federated Identity Manager (TFIM) provides an STS as one of its core components. The interaction between a SOA component and the TFIM STS is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Identity propagation using WS-Trust and the TFIM STS
In the TFIM STS, different identity propagation configurations can be specified. These configurations are called trust module chains. Incoming requests to the STS are matched to trust module chains in TFIM, based on the values of the AppliesTo, Issuer, and TokenType parameters. In this way, the same logical STS instance can support a variety of different identity requirements.
Trust module chains are composed of module instances, as shown in Figure 2. When a module instance is configured in a trust module chain, it operates in one of a few different modes - validate, map, issue, or other. Figure 2 shows a typical trust module chain structure, with trust modules operating in different modes.
Figure 2. Anatomy of a TFIM STS trust module chain
Service authorization in SOA
Identity propagation is certainly important in SOA but might not be the end goal. Identity in SOA is a foundation on which additional business value can be delivered. Common uses of the identity foundation are an enabler for:
- Authorization - Determining the suitability of a service requester to access a service and its operations, based on security policy.
- Audit - Record the flow of identity through a composite application and the results of service authorization decisions.
TFIM provides a mechanism to extend its SOA identity solution to include service authorization. An authorization module is provided with TFIM that is able to make authorization decisions using Tivoli Access Manager (TAM). The interaction between the Authorization STS module and Tivoli Access Manager infrastructure is shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Interaction between the Authorization STS module and TAM
The Authorization STS module uses the TAM Java™ Authorization API to evaluate authorization decisions. Authorization decisions are determined by making a secure call to the TAM Authorization Server (pdacld). A simple TAM authorization decision takes three inputs:
- A principal, representing the identity of the user.
- A protected object, representing the resource being accessed.
- A set of actions, representing the operation being attempted on the protected object.
The Authorization STS module:
- Constructs a PDPrincipal object from the current identity in the STSUUSER document in the module chain.
- Constructs the protected object name from the data in the STSUUSER document available to the trust module chain, according to the structure shown in Figure 4.
- Uses the invoke action "i" from the [WebService] action group in TAM.
Figure 4. TAM protected object space for SOA service authorization
The Authorization STS module is suitable for authorization decisions in trust module chains invoked from the following components:
- TFIM Web Services Security Management (WSSM) token consumer
- TFIM WSSM token generator
- TFIM/DataPower integration point
- TFIM identity mediation module for WebSphere ESB
TFIM provides a utility called wsdl2tam to create the protected objects in TAM. The wsdl2tam utility parses a single WSDL file and generates a set of commands that can be processed by the TAM pdadmin command to create objects. In environments with a large number of services using TFIM for service-based authorization, this can become a cumbersome process. Moreover, in environments which use a database such as WebSphere Service Registry and Repository or a UDDI directory, the WSDL documents for services need to be exported before they can be operated on with the wsdl2tam utility.
The requirement to export WSDL documents from WebSphere Service Registry and Repository (WSRR) manually has a number of shortcomings. The primary concern is the administration overhead required for this process - exporting each WSDL to a file and invoking wsdl2tam is a time-consuming process. Furthermore, the repetition of this manual process is prone to error.
Solution overview
To address the shortcomings inherent in manually exporting WSDL service definitions from WSRR and converting them to pdadmin scripts individually, an automated solution is required. The solution proposed in this article consists of a number of steps, as outlined in Figure 5.
Figure 5. Processing flowchart
The main steps in the solution are:
- Connect to an existing WSRR installation using the standard APIs
- Prompt the user for a pattern to search for in WSDL file names in the registry. This avoids listing a potentially large number of services in a heavily populated service registry.
- Search the registry for WSDL names matching the provided pattern.
- Display the matching WSDL names and prompt to select one or more to be processed.
- For each of the selected WSDL names, extract the full WSDL from the registry.
- Invoke the WSDL2TAM tool to create a pdadmin script that will populate the TAM Object Space for this WSDL.
- If there are more WSDLs to extract and convert, return to Step 5.
- When all the pdadmin scripts have been converted, invoke pdadmin to populate the TAM protected object space.
While there are still manual steps in this solution, there are a number of advantages that this solution provides. First, it is much easier to search and extract the relevant WSDLs from the registry. Second, using an automated tool to create the pdadmin scripts helps to ensure that no exported WSDLs are omitted from processing. The possibility for introducing errors is significantly reduced.
Populating the TAM protected object space from WSRR
This article provides a tool that builds upon wsdl2tam to allow the creation of pdadmin scripts using information extracted from WebSphere Service Registry and Repository (WSRR). This integration reduces the manual steps involved in populating the TAM protected object space required for authorization decisions.
The solution is in the form of a command-line Java application. This application connects to a WSRR installation using the Web services API, and displays a list of the WSDL files currently stored in the registry. The user can also specify a search string in order to filter the WSDLs returned. When the list of WSDL files is displayed, the user can select which file or files they want to extract from the service registry and create pdadmin scripts for. Figure 6 shows the solution architecture.
Figure 6. Solution architecture overview
The full solution with source code is provided in the Download section below, however there are a number of important steps that should be highlighted. These three steps are outlined in the following code snippets:
- Retrieving the list of WSDLs from WSRR
- Extracting a specific WSDL from WSRR
- Converting the WSDL to a pdadmin script using wsdl2tam.
Listing 1 shows how to retrieve a list of WSDLs from WSRR. Because the number of WSDLs stored in the registry can be large, the functionality to search by the WSDLs name is provided. This searching is done via simple substring search. Furthermore, two pieces of information are explicitly extracted from WSRR in this step: the WSDL's name, and its bsrURI. This URI is the unique identifier for a document stored in WSRR, and will be used later to reference the WSDL in order to extract it in full.
Listing 1. Retrieving a list of WSDLs from WSRR
String WSRR_SEARCH_STRING = "/WSRR/WSDLDocument"; String PARAM_NAME = "name"; String PARAM_BSR_URI = "bsrURI"; //First get a connection to WSRR WSRRCoreSDOClient client = new WSRRCoreSDOClient( srrURL ); //Setup our query to find the WSDLs in WSRR PropertyQuery pq = (PropertyQuery)DataFactory.INSTANCE.create( TypeConstants.SR_URI, TypeConstants.TYPE_PROPERTYQUERY ); if ( substring == null || "".equals( substring) ) { pq.setQueryExpression( WSRR_SEARCH_STRING ); } else { pq.setQueryExpression( WSRR_SEARCH_STRING + "[ matches( @name, '.*" + substring + ".*', 'i')]" ); } BSRSDOHelper.INSTANCE.addProperty( pq, "p1", PARAM_NAME ); BSRSDOHelper.INSTANCE.addProperty( pq, "p2", PARAM_BSR_URI ); //Execute our query List propertyQueryResults = client.executeQuery( pq );
Listing 2 shows how the user selects a result from the list returned by the code in Listing 1, retrieves the WSDL document from the registry, and writes the WSDL document to a temporary file on disk. The user selection is in the form of an integer index into the list of results from the code in Listing 1.
Listing 2. Extracting a WSDL and writing it to disk
int wsdlNum = getUserSelection(); PropertyQueryResult selectedResult = (PropertyQueryResult) propertyQueryResults.get( wsdlNum ); String name = BSRSDOHelper.INSTANCE.getPropertyQueryResultValue( selectedResult, PARAM_NAME ); String bsrURI = BSRSDOHelper.INSTANCE.getPropertyQueryResultValue( selectedResult, PARAM_BSR_URI ); //Retrieve the WSDL specified based on it's URI WSDLDocument wsdl = (WSDLDocument) client.retrieve( bsrURI ); //Create our temporary output file File wsdlFile = File.createTempFile( name, ".cache" ); wsdlFile.createNewFile(); //Write the WSDL contents to the temporary file. OutputStream wsdlWriter = new FileOutputStream( wsdlFile ); wsdlWriter.write( wsdl.getContent() ); wsdlWriter.close();
Listing 3 shows how to invoke the wsdl2tam tool from TFIM in order to convert this WSDL into a pdadmin script. The wsdl2tam tool takes three arguments:
- The name of the WSDL, which is used to name the sub-tree in the TAM protected object space;
- The location to write the pdadmin script to;
- The location of the WSDL file to convert, which is the temporary file created in Listing 2.
Listing 3. Converting a WSDL file to a pdadmin script
String tamOutput = TAM_DIR + File.separator + name + ".pdadmin"; File tamFile = new File( tamOutput ); tamFile.delete(); //Call WSDL2TAM to do our conversion //The arguments to WSDL2TAM // -n wsdlName... // -tam [tam_script_file] // [wsdl_file] String[] wsdl2tamArgs = new String[] { "-n", name, "-tam", tamFile.getAbsolutePath(), wsdlFile.getAbsolutePath() }; com.tivoli.am.fim.wssm.management.WSDL2TAM.main( wsdl2tamArgs );
When the desired WSDLs have been extracted from WSRR and converted to pdadmin scripts, the pdadmin tool can be used to execute the scripts and populate the TAM protected object space. Because the script for each WSDL has been written to a separate file, a UNIX® or Linux® shell script can be useful to automate the process of executing these scripts. An example of such a shell script, using Bourne shell, is shown in Listing 4. Execute the script from the same directory as the saved files, with the appropriate values substituted for the TAM administrative login credentials.
Listing 4. Automating the execution of the pdadmin scripts
for i in *.pdadmin do pdadmin -a [admin_id] -p [password] $i done
In order to illustrate the functionality of this tool, a simple test service will be used. This test service is called 'EchoService', and simply echoes the input back to the caller of the service. The WSDL for this service is shown in Listing 5.
Listing 5. The EchoService WSDL
<wsdl:definitions xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:tns="http://www.example.org/EchoService/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" name="EchoService" targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/EchoService/"> <wsdl:types> <xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/EchoService/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xsd:element name="EchoOperation"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="in" type="xsd:string"/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> <xsd:element name="EchoOperationResponse"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="out" type="xsd:string"/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> </xsd:schema> </wsdl:types> <wsdl:message name="EchoOperationRequest"> <wsdl:part element="tns:EchoOperation" name="parameters"/> </wsdl:message> <wsdl:message name="EchoOperationResponse"> <wsdl:part element="tns:EchoOperationResponse" name="parameters"/> </wsdl:message> <wsdl:portType name="EchoService"> <wsdl:operation name="EchoOperation"> <wsdl:input message="tns:EchoOperationRequest"/> <wsdl:output message="tns:EchoOperationResponse"/> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:portType> <wsdl:binding name="EchoServiceSOAP" type="tns:EchoService"> <soap:binding style="document" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/> <wsdl:operation name="EchoOperation"> <soap:operation soapAction="http://www.example.org/EchoService/NewOperation"/> <wsdl:input> <soap:body use="literal"/> </wsdl:input> <wsdl:output> <soap:body use="literal"/> </wsdl:output> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:binding> <wsdl:service name="EchoService"> <wsdl:port binding="tns:EchoServiceSOAP" name="EchoServiceSOAP"> <soap:address location="http://service.example.org/test/services/EchoService"/> </wsdl:port> </wsdl:service> </wsdl:definitions>
This service is deployed at the URL 'http://service.example.org/test/services/EchoService' as shown in the address of the port binding above, and for the purposes of this example assume that there is a WebSphere Service Registry and Repository installed at the host 'srr.example.org' that includes an entry for this service.
Listing 6 shows an example of invoking the tool. The listing shows searching for the service based on the string 'Echo', then saving the WSDL in the file 'tam/EchoService.wsdl.pdadmin'. The tool is packaged in wsrr2tam.jar, located in the Download section of this article. The following libraries are required to execute this tool:
- sdo-int.jar from a WSRR install
- ServiceRegistryClient.jar from a WSRR install
- ibm-jaxrpc-client.jar from the WebSphere Application v6.0 runtime/ directory.
- itfim-wssm-common.jar from a TFIM install
- itfim-wssm-mgmt.jar from a TFIM install
When these pre-requisites are available, the tool can be invoked from the command line. User inputs are shown in bold in Listing 6.
Listing 6. Invoking the WSRR2TAM tool
[wsrr2tam]$ java -classpath itfim-wssm-common.jar:itfim-wssm-mgmt.jar:sdo-int.jar:\ ServiceRegistryClient.jar:ibm-jaxrpc-client.jar:wsrr2tam.jar \ com.tivoli.soa.SRR2TAM Enter the SRR location in the form 'host:port' [localhost:9080]: srr.example.org:9080 Enter a sub-string to filter WSDL names by (optional): Echo /WSRR/WSDLDocument[ matches( @name, '.*Echo.*', 'i')] The following WSDLs were found on the server: 1: EchoService.wsdl Select a WSDL number to convert to TAM, or press enter to modify search parameters. Specify multiple WSDLs using the format '1-3,5,6-10': 1 Retrieved WSDL 'EchoService.wsdl' from WSRR. Select a file to write the PDADMIN script to ['tam/EchoService.wsdl.pdadmin']: The pdadmin script was successfully written. Convert more? yes / no [yes]: no
When invocation is complete, a pdadmin script containing the data shown in Listing 7 is produced. This script can be executed using the command shown in Listing 4, which results in the protected objects being created in TAM.
Listing 7. pdadmin Script for the EchoService WSDL.
action group create WebService action create i wssm 0 WebService objectspace create /itfim-wssm wssm 0 object create /itfim-wssm/wssm-default wssm 0 ispolicyattachable yes object create /itfim-wssm/wssm-default/EchoService.wsdl wssm 0 ispolicyattachable yes object create /itfim-wssm/wssm-default/EchoService.wsdl/EchoService wssm 0 \ ispolicyattachable yes object create /itfim-wssm/wssm-default/EchoService.wsdl/EchoService/EchoService wssm 0 \ ispolicyattachable yes object create /itfim-wssm/wssm-default/EchoService.wsdl/EchoService/EchoService/ \ EchoOperation wssm 0 ispolicyattachable yes
After the object space is created in TAM, authorization policy can be configured. The most common authorization policy construct in TAM is an ACL, although POPs and Authorization Rules can also be configured. In an ACL, the invoke permission 'i' from the WebService action group is what is checked by the authorization request originating in the Authorization STS module. Also note that a TAM policy object, such as an ACL, does not need to be attached to every object in TAM, because it has an inheritance model to determine effective policy on any object in the TAM protected object space.
The last step in using the configuration in the TAM protected object space is to configure one or more instances of the Authorization STS module in trust module chains that will be invoked from SOA components such as WebSphere ESB or a DataPower XML Firewall. The TFIM 6.1.1 Information Center contains guidance on configuring the Authorization STS module configuration.
Future work
The utility described in this program can be extended to also work with Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI) solutions such as WebSphere UDDI Registry.
In an SOA environment, propagating identity is a necessary foundation for services such as authorization and auditing. IBM Tivoli Federated Identify Manager (TFIM) provides a way to integrate authorization and access control into a trust chain through an Authorization STS module. This module depends on Tivoli Access Manager (TAM), which requires its object space to be populated using information from service descriptions in WSDL format. This article provides a way to automate the process of extracting service information from IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository (WSRR), create a set of administration scripts to populate the object space, and execute those scripts using a TAM administration tool.

It's just the way I felt, I was very hurt, or betrayed, when I found out the root of her problems. I haven't been as hurt by the actions of anyone else (Maybe Rin was a bit... well, she was just unpredictably weird), and she did basically come out and say all she wanted was sex, and that she couldn't get close to you.

Hanako was my first, I started playing completely blind (no pun intended) and just played through the game as "me" without walkthrough or prior explanation of the girls. Downloaded and played before any research. I ended up getting Hanako's good ending. It was great.

Don´t you mistake her for Shizune?

Sicchan is just as bossy, but it's more aggressive, opposed to the passive-aggressive treatment you get from Emi. You're half forced to be a cock throughout Emi's story so it was a bit justified when she gets rude and such, but she's still probably my least favorite.

pretty near the end of shizune´s part, next one i try is Hanako´s. Some FJers already told me to get a tissue box before starting hers.

Cytinus hypocistis
Cytinus hypocistis is an ant-pollinated[4] species of parasitic plant in the family Cytinaceae having four subspecies. It is found primarily in locations that surround the Mediterranean Sea,[5] and is the type for the genus Cytinus.[6] The binomial has been conserved.[6]
Cytinus hypocistis is native to Albania; Algeria; Crete; Croatia; Cyprus; Greece; France (including Corsica); Israel; Italy (including Sardinia and Sicily); Lebanon; Libya; Malta; Morocco; Portugal; Spain (including both the Balearic and Canary Islands); Syria; Tunisia; and Turkey.[5]
The subspecies macranthus is native to Portugal and western Spain; orientalis is native to southern Greece and Crete; and pityusensis is endemic to Ibiza of the Balearic Islands.[2]
Cytinus hypocistis has been used in traditional medicine to treat dysentery and tumors of the throat, and has been used for its astringent qualities.[7]

Forget Chuck E. Cheese's. How about a gun range?
At least that's what the owners of a Lewsiville gun range is saying.
WFAA-TV in Dallas recently reported that Eagle Gun Range will be hosting children's birthday parties, and customers as young as 8 can try out their shooting skills, with adult supervision, of course:
"You have to be tall enough to get above the shooting table," (Owner David Prince) said. "They're not gonna be left unattended. Parents are gonna be one-on-one, or if there's not enough parents we'll have range safety officers here to show them how to do it safely."
But the shooting isn't all fun and games, Prince said:
"One of the reasons we're doing this is, when I had my boys, I didn't have a place to take them and educate them about how to handle a gun safely," Prince explained. "I really want families to be able to take their kids here and teach their young shooters how to shoot safely."
Two rooms will be available for parties, the report says. Eagle Gun Range expects to open in the late summer or early fall, WFAA says.

NOW THERE YOU SAID IT! i was listening to a tech show on the radio and they were saying that true lifelike 3d through screenless holographic tv setups are about 7-8 years away and to not waste your money on this interim 3d stuff either. If that looked real, that would be amazing! I wonder how the older games would translate into holographic... imagine seeing the wings greatest games boxset in holographic 3d like theyre in the room with you, damn!
I don't get all the hate about 3D. It's not the '50s "jump out at you" 3D, it's an immersive environment, at least when done right (ala Avatar). That kind of 3D is awesome and I think everything should be broadcast like that before too long, it paves the way for holographic viewing. It just adds so much depth to everything.
That being said, it won't catch on until the glasses-less TVs come out next year and even then until they go down in price and more stuff is offered in 3D.

Behind the Lines With Krugman's Army
A visit to "occupied" Zuccotti Park.
NEW YORK--We didn't think "Occupy Wall Street" worth going to see, but we were in the neighborhood Saturday night, having just left a party a block away, so we decided to drop in and see it. We spent a couple of hours chatting with people in the park and found them to be, with one exception, endearingly earnest.
The exception was a middle-aged man who became agitated when he heard us tell somebody else that we found the scapegoating of a minority, clearly implied by the ubiquitous slogan "I am the 99%," creepy. Not wanting to start a fight, we directed our attention and conversation to someone else nearby, which eventually deflated the angry fellow, who wandered off.
But everyone else we met was very nice. Our experiences were in line with those of The New Republic's Walter Shapiro, who visited last week: "What struck me was the sincere and good-natured smallness of it all." As we wandered through the park, we saw no alcohol but a fair amount of pot, probably a good combination if you want to keep things mellow.
Possibly there was a selection bias at work, in which the disruptive elements were away from the park at the time we visited. The Wall Street Journal reports that "thousands of anti-corporate protesters marched Saturday from New York City's Financial District to Times Square in a show of force that resulted in 74 arrests."
On a taxi uptown after we left, we saw a band of between 12 and 20 young men, at least one wearing a face mask, striding down the street. Some of them were in the middle of the street, interfering with traffic and shouting slogans (this was after midnight). On the sidewalk to the right as our taxi rolled past, it appeared some of the protesters were scuffling with policemen. Perhaps the Zuccotti crowd would have been more menacing if we had waited for their return.
No one we met seemed to care much for Barack Obama. Indeed, at one point, when we started analyzing how it might affect the president's re-election effort, somebody interjected: "This isn't about Obama." Our surmise is that people who sought meaning in "hope and change" three years ago have by now given up and are looking elsewhere.
The name of former Enron adviser Paul Krugman, ostensibly the commander of this army, never even came up. "For these kids who are driving this thing, being in The New York Times doesn't mean sh-- to them," documentarian Danny Schechter tells TNR's Shapiro. "It's not their frame of reference."
The only media figures we heard mentioned during our visit to the park were Fox News president Roger Ailes and, as one guy put it, "your boss, Rupert Murdoch," chairman of News Corp. It's true that the Occupiers regard Fox with suspicion and hostility, but to hear them tell it, it is the only medium that matters. We salute our Fox colleagues for a brilliant marketing job. They have managed to embed their brand in the minds of the young generation, some of whom, when they get older and more sophisticated, we predict will become loyal viewers.
For a protest against business, Occupy Wall Street seems to be generating a lot of it. For one thing, it's a tourist attraction: We talked to a college girl visiting from Salt Lake City and a guy who had come up from Maryland. (He is photographer Ed Fagan, whose work accompanies this column and whose protest slide show can be viewed here. He is available for weddings and other occasions.)

Food trucks were lined up along the perimeter of the park in what, outside business hours, is normally a quiet residential neighborhood. Which leads us to the worst aspect of Occupy Wall Street: its effect on the local quality of life. The party we went to was in a private residence, and people there who lived nearby were unanimous in wanting the Occupiers gone.
People who live in small towns, suburbs or sprawling cities may not appreciate just how close Manhattanites dwell to city life. In many parts of the city, you step outside your apartment building and are right in the middle of the hustle and bustle. That is part of the charm of living in Manhattan, and people who choose to live here do so with full awareness of the attendant nuisances, from bums to street fairs.
But residents of the financial district couldn't have known they were moving next door to a perpetual hippie festival. Zuccotti Park, although subject to an easement for public use, was never intended as a round-the-clock protest zone. Occupy Wall Street has gone on for a month now. For the people who live nearby, that's about 29 days too long.
Occupy Morningside Heights
Writing at National Review Online earlier this month, Stephanie Gutmann made a fascinating point:
I hope that one of the things we're seeing down at Zuccotti Park is the first rustlings of what will eventually . . . become a full fledged revolution--not against capitalism but against what Rush Limbaugh likes to call Big Education and Michael Medved calls the Educational-Industrial Complex.
This is really what most of these kids are angry about, isn't it? Most of them--except for the usual complement of old lefties and sundry off-their-meds street people--are, as many reporters have noted, college grads. . . . They're mad that they "can't get jobs." . . .
Occupy Wall Street kids, you're right--there are some sleazy characters out there! But I wish you'd turn that laser of your rage on the educrats hiding behind their ivy-covered walls; the ones hawking the notion that without a four-year college degree, you'll end up [in] the gutter; the ones exploiting fear to sell a product that grows more expensive, and more shoddy, every year.
At the Washington "occupation," NPR's Claudio Sanchez finds a young lady who is stumbling toward that realization, Kait or Kate Legers (the transcript spells it both ways) of Ohio:
Sanchez: What did you get a degree in?
Legers: History, from Ohio University.
Sanchez: What do you do with a degree in history?
Legers: With a Bachelor's? Nothing. I can't do anything with this.
Sanchez: Kate is over $22,000 in debt, which is close to the average debt burden nationally for graduates with a four-year degree from a public institution. But are Wall Street, the banks and corporate greed the blame for your not having a job, I ask. Yes, says Kate, and lots more. The way she and [her friend] Greg see it, colleges are nothing more than training and recruiting grounds for the Wall Street banks and hedge funds that caused the financial crisis and are to blame for the growing inequality in the United States. And that, says Kate, is why she's here demonstrating.
Meanwhile back in New York, the Columbia Spectator reports on a visit by an Ivy League professor:
[Jeffrey] Sachs began his . . . speech in the middle of Zuccotti Park with short, sarcastic stories. One began, "Mr. Paulson went to his friends at Goldman Sachs. He said let's make a derivative so we can cheat some banks." Another started with, "I'll read you another story from the Wall Street Journal. These people are more confused than anybody on this planet."
Sachs utilized the "people's microphone" expertly, with protesters echoing each of his lines so that people far from him could still hear his speech. Some giggled at the humorous way the story unfolded, amused by the slights he made about Wall Street bankers.
Most of all, Sachs' speech commended the protesters for their efforts to point fingers at what he called Wall Street's corrupt leadership.
"That's why we're here on Wall Street. It's not because we're envious. It's not because we think wealth is bad. It's because of you! It's because we think you cheat. It's because we think you don't follow the law," he said.
If Sachs's silly performance is representative of the best that American higher education has to offer, people like Miss Legers are right to feel they've been ripped off. The scapegoating of Wall Street is merely part of the scam.
Occupy Pennsylvania Avenue
"President Obama and his team have decided to turn public anger at Wall Street into a central tenet of their reelection strategy," the Washington Post reports:
Obama aides point to recent surveys that show anger at Wall Street spanning ideologies, including a new Washington Post-ABC News poll in which 68 percent of independents and 60 percent of Republicans say they have unfavorable impressions of the big financial institutions.
Well, good luck with that. As logorrheic leftist Glenn Greenwald notes, Obama raised more money from donors in the financial industry than any other federal candidate in the period 1989-2010, which surely makes him, at least in nominal terms, the biggest recipient of Wall Street bucks in history.
"Would it not be a bit odd for a protest movement to 'Occupy Wall Street' while simultaneously devoting itself to keeping Wall Street's most lavishly funded politician in power?" Greenwald asks. For once he has a point.
Meanwhile, the Hill reports that "in the minds of likely voters, Washington, not Wall Street, is primarily to blame for the financial crisis and the subsequent recession":
The Hill poll found that only one in three likely voters blames Wall Street for the country's financial troubles, whereas more than half--56 percent--blame Washington.
So Obama's putative strategy sounds like a loser even in the unlikely event that he is able to carry it off credibly.
Occupy Sri Lanka
Hey, a Wall Street guy is going to prison. Are you happy now, Karen Tumulty? Here's the report from the New York Times website:
Raj Rajaratnam, the Galleon Group chief at the center of the United States' massive insider trading investigation, was sentenced to eleven years in prison. His sentence is the longest ever for insider-trading in the United States.
But wait. The Times published this in its blog called India Ink, slogan "Notes on the World's Largest Democracy." The story doesn't mention anything about India, so we guess the Times must've assumed from his name that Rajaratnam is from there. In fact, as The Wall Street Journal reports, he is a naturalized American citizen originally from Sri Lanka.
It reminds us of the scene from "King of the Hill" in which one of the natives from Arlen, Texas, asks the new Asian neighbor: "Are you Chinese or Japanese?" The neighbor says he's Laotian and gives a long explanation of Laos's place in the world. There's a long pause, then: "Are you Chinese or Japanese?"

Australia's Channel 9 brings us a grisly story from the South Pacific:
Forensic experts fear a missing German yachtsman was "hacked to pieces and burned" by cannibals while visiting a remote island in French Polynesia on the trip of a lifetime.
Ash remains, believed to be those of 40-year-old Hamburg man Stefan Ramin, have been found in a valley in Nuku Hiva, the largest of the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia.
News you can use: If you ever dine at a French Polynesian restaurant, don't order the Hamburger.
