Former NFL quarterback and political newcomer Heath Shuler, 34, scored the big win over eight-term incumbent Republican Charles Taylor on election night in the most closely watched races in Western North Carolina.
At just after 2 a.m., the state Board of Elections had Shuler leading the race 123,156 to 105,935.
Taylor, 65, conceded the race to his Democratic challenger about three hours after polls had closed and election results showed Shuler with a sizable lead with about half the districtŌĆÖs precincts reporting. For the first time in nearly two decades, the 11th District will have a new face in Washington, and ShulerŌĆÖs win was part of the victory that gave Democrats a majority in the House of Representatives along with wins in key states around the country.
Just minutes after TaylorŌĆÖs announcement at his campaign gathering at the Holiday Inn in Asheville, Shuler came down from his downtown Asheville Renaissance Hotel room with his wife and children. Entering a ballroom to several hundred cheering fans, Shuler, with 2-year-old daughter Island in one arm, gave hugs and handshakes to campaign supporters, family members and staff.
And yes, before he came in, the crowd sang and clapped to ŌĆ£Rocky Top,ŌĆØ the fight song for the University of Tennessee, ShulerŌĆÖs alma mater.
ŌĆ£We did it!ŌĆØ said Hayden Rogers, campaign manager for Shuler, as he pumped both fists. ŌĆ£What a time for a rookie.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£I hear we have a new sheriff in town,ŌĆØ announced Asheville Mayor Terry Bellamy. And she wasnŌĆÖt just talking about the newly elected Buncombe County Sheriff Van Duncan, who defeated incumbent Bobby Medford.
Then it was ShulerŌĆÖs turn to speak.
ŌĆ£As always I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,ŌĆØ Shuler said.
Overwhelmed by the emotion of the night, Shuler began by thanking his family and campaign staff for a long, hard fight.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs an exciting time for the people of Western North Carolina,ŌĆØ Shuler said. ŌĆ£Our country deserves better. WeŌĆÖre going to get there.ŌĆØ
Echoing his mantra of bringing mountain values to Washington, Shuler pledged to work to improve health care, bring jobs to the district and protect the mountains.
ŌĆ£I know all of you have heard the stump speech, so I certainly wonŌĆÖt give it again,ŌĆØ he said.
Avoiding the urge to use a sports analogy, Shuler, a former quarterback and runner up for the Heisman Trophy, stressed teamwork and togetherness, eschewing the partisan politics that traditionally divide Congress. Shuler also congratulated Taylor and his family for a hard-fought campaign.
ShulerŌĆÖs father, Joe Benny, has seen Heath through high school championship games and on to college and NFL games, but nothing proved so nerve-wracking as waiting on the election results. Shuler left the NFL when injuries shortened his career with the Washington Redskins, and now the former quarterback returns again to that same city for a new career.
ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖll do exactly what heŌĆÖs been saying, bringing mountain values to Western North Carolina,ŌĆØ Benny said. ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖll do the right thing when he gets there.ŌĆØ
An hour earlier at TaylorŌĆÖs election night headquarters at the Holiday Inn across town, the mood was much more subdued. Voting returns showed Shuler had an early lead, but supporters hoped for the best, watching election results on a large projector screen. Red, white and blue balloons bobbed as faces frowned, seeing Democrats claim victories in the House, Senate and gubernatorial races around the country. Early returns showed Taylor behind in his own home county, Transylvania. TaylorŌĆÖs campaign spokesman Aaron Latham said it was too early to tell the outcome.
For the past week, Taylor had been meeting with constituents, holding tele-town hall meetings on conference calls, and going door-to-door meeting voters in the district.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a simple strategy,ŌĆØ Latham said. ŌĆ£Talk with voters. Tell them about your record and shoot ŌĆśem straight.ŌĆØ
But like a crowd that exits early from a stadium, knowing the home team will not win, some Taylor supporters were already beginning to carry the look of disappointment.
Harry Maroni, a Fairview resident, was already conceding ShulerŌĆÖs early lead as a victory.
ŌĆ£We really donŌĆÖt know where Shuler stands on these issues because he has no record,ŌĆØ said Maroni. Though an acknowledged Democrat, he supported Taylor but said some Republicans have gotten away from their traditional core values like fiscal responsibility.

Best wishes to everyone who supports and promotes breastfeeding. Whether you have already held your event, you are celebrating this week, or will host an event in the next few weeks, we hope you find joy in the celebration of one of life's most important gifts -- breastfeeding.
Many thanks to the US Western Division of La Leche League. They recently held a drawing at the LLL International Conference in Chicago, Illinois for a $200.00 Borders gift card and commemorative Womanly Art of Breastfeeding and raised over $500.00 for WBW. World Breastfeeding Week proceeds from the USWD last year helped to fund up to two scholarships per Area to LLLI's Global Strategic Planning Summit. WBW funds will also be used for scholarships to TEAM '08.
The Eastern US Division awarded $11,000 in scholarships to attend the LLLI Conference with the understanding that scholarship recipients would become involved in a local WBWC event. There was a lovely reception for the winners at the Conference in Chicago. An elist of the winners has also been created so that ideas for the future can be shared.
Best wishes and happy celebrations!

Stocks Tumble as Fed Outlines Criteria for Reducing Stimulus
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock markets turned sharply lower on Wednesday despite the Federal Reserve saying it will maintain its current stimulus program of buying $85 billion per month to help sustain the country's economic recovery.
The Fed's Federal Open Market Committee voted to maintain its current policy by a vote of 10 in favor and 2 against but outlined criteria which will determine when the bank begins to reduce the size and scope of its bond buying program.
The S&P 500 tumbled 1.39% to 1,628.93 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.34% to 15,112.27. The Nasdaq dropped 1.12% to 3,443.20.
"On a day like today you have so many traders taking positions out there, and one possible explanation is that you had traders who thought they would give more dovish language around keeping the current policy in place," said David Roda, regional chief investment officer for the southeast at Wells Fargo Private Bank.
But while the bank said policy would be unchanged for the present, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said that as economic conditions improve, the bank will look to reduce its stimulus measures.
Bernanke said that the bank would take steps to curb the program when the bank determines that the economy has made "substantial progress,'' a determination that would likely require a drop in the unemployment to 7% or below. The bank has not "fixed" timeline on when it might curb its bond purchases depending on "what happens in the economy," Bernanke said.
Bernanke said the committee sees the economy growing at a "moderate pace," but that unemployment "remains elevated" at 7.6%. Bernanke said the bank "may vary the pace" of its bond purchases depending on how well the economy is improving.
The central bank, in a statement, said "downside risks to the outlook for the economy and the labor market as having diminished since the fall." The bank's committee said it expects inflation over the "medium term" to be at 2% or below while keeping the federal funds rate at 0 to 0.25%.
Bank presidents voting in opposition were Esther George and James Bullard, who the bank said argued that the committee "should signal more strongly its willingness to defend its inflation goal in light of recent low inflation readings."
Bill Gross, founder of Pacific Investment Management, the world's biggest bond fund, said in an interview on CNBC that the Fed "deferred" reducing its bond buying probably until the end of the year. Gross said he expects the government's 10-year bond to be at 2% or lower by year's end.

This is a story about how major data holders are moving to consolidate THEIR control over the collection and use of our personal health information.
Instead of building electronic health systems that enable us to decide who can see and use our health data, we are locked out and have no way to know who is using our data or what it's used for.
-Deborah Peel
From The Health Care Blog article: CommonWell Is a Shame and a Missed Opportunity
"The big news at HIMSS13 was the unveiling of CommonWell (Cerner, McKesson, Allscripts, athenahealth, Greenway and RelayHealth) to "get the ball rolling" on data exchange across disparate technologies. The shame is that another program with opaque governance by the largest incumbents in health IT is being passed off as progress. The missed opportunity is to answer the call for patient engagement and the frustrations of physicians with EHRs and reverse the institutional control over the physician-patient relationship. Physicians take an oath to put their patient's interest above all others while in reality we are manipulated to participate in massive amounts of unwarranted care.
There's a link between healthcare costs and health IT. The past months have seen frustration with this manipulation by industry hit the public media like never before. Early this year, National Coordinator for Health Information Technology Farzad Mostashari, MD, called for "moral and right" action on the part of some EHR vendors, particularly when it comes to data lock-in and pricing transparency. On February 19, a front page article in the New York Times exposed the tactics of some of the founding members of CommonWell in grabbing much of the $19 Billion of health IT incentives while consolidating the industry and locking out startups and innovators. That same week, Time magazine's cover story is a special report on health care costs and analyzes how the US wastes $750 Billion a year and what that means to patients. To round things out, the March issue of Health Affairs, published a survey showing that "the average physician would lose $43,743 over five years" as a result of EHR adoption while the financial benefits go to the vendors and the larger institutions…"

Vladimir Putin Grants Gerard Depardieu Russian Citizenship
French actor Gerard Depardieu has been granted Russian citizenship amid an ongoing dispute with politicians over a tax hike in his homeland.
The Green Card star moved to the Belgian village of Nechin, just minutes from the French border, after the government pushed ahead with plans to introduce a 75 percent tax on millionaires to help boost France's ailing economy.
Depardieu was criticized by French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault over the move, but he has the support of another world leader as Russia's President Vladimir Putin has cleared the star for a Russian passport.
A statement from the Russian government reads, "Vladimir Putin has signed a decree granting Russian citizenship to France's Gerard Depardieu."
It is not known whether the actor has accepted the offer.

In a bid to create a very power efficient DRAM, Elpida adopted 40nm high-k metal gate fabrication process, a technology that is primarily used to make complex chips like central processing units.
Although manufacturing of various semiconductors have a lot of things in common, process technologies used to make high-end chips like microprocessors are completely different from fabrication processes used to make dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and other simplistic chips. Technologies like silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and high-k metal gate (HKMG) are very expensive and many consider then to be inefficient from economical point of view to make products like DRAM.
Elpida has introduced a 2Gb mobile DDR2 memory chip made using 40nm HKMG manufacturing process. In producing the new DDR2 Mobile RAM, HKMG technology is able to reduce the electrical thickness of the gate dielectric in the transistor by around 30% compared with a conventional silicon oxide dielectric. The technology also raises DRAM performance by increasing transistor-on current by as much as 1.7 times compared with a silicon oxide film. Transistor-off current can be lowered to less than 1/100th of existing levels, thereby drastically reducing energy consumed in standby mode of DDR2 Mobile RAM.
Elpida plans to apply HKMG technology to produce faster and more energy efficient Mobile RAM devices, the company's mainstay product area. In addition, Elpida will continue to evaluate and improve HKMG in order to apply the technology at the 30nm and 25nm nodes. Sample shipments of products are planned for FY2011, with volume production to follow.
HKMG is technology that uses insulator film with a high dielectric constant (abbreviated to "high-k," a semiconductor industry measure of how much charge a material can hold) in the transistor gate to reduce current leakage and improve transistor performance. Metal gate electrodes that are required for the high-k dielectrics process are also used. Some makers of logic semiconductors have started to use HKMG, but higher heat treatment temperatures after HKMG formation and complicated DRAM structural characteristics have prevented consistent application in the DRAM fabrication process. Elpida, however, has managed to lower the heat treatment load and overcome certain memory device structural complications.

Badges, scripts, emblems, logos…no matter what you call them, there's plenty of mystique tied up in a vehicle's nameplate.
When the Dodge brothers, Horace and John, built their first automobile back in 1914, their final touch was a small enamel badge on the radiator with their company logo: a circle with two interlocking triangles inside, one white and one black, forming a six-pointed star. Old school machinists, the brothers were fiercely proud of their work and the emblem was their badge of honor.
Through nearly 100 years of Dodge…Read More

- Adolescents and power: understanding of power, and deconstruction of negative peer interactions

- Abstract
- Contemporary researchers typically classify negative peer interactions as bullying or conflict. Theoretically, bullying involves exploiting a power imbalance to demobilize a peer(s), and conflict involves using power tactics to exert influence or resolve a dispute. This study attempted to explore the exercise of power between adolescent peers within psychological, social psychological and feminist psychological frameworks of power, and bullying and conflict constructions. Three hundred and fifty-two Melbourne students from Years 7 to 10 completed a 'Young People's School Relationships' survey Students described their understandings of personal and interpersonal power, and rated their perceived power. The experimenter asked the students to differentiate three recent difficult incidents with peers according to perceived power disadvantage (less power), balance (same power) and advantage (more power). They described the difficulties, their responses and their perceptions of the power balance. Outcomes were rated on affect, relationship quality and overall evaluation. Power construction, gender, and year group differences on perceived personal power were examined. Scenario type (less, same, more power), gender, year group (7/8, 9/10), and relationship closeness (not friends, friends) differences on difficulties, responses and outcomes were evaluated. The power constructions formed three themes ('power-within', power-with', 'power-over'). Difficulties were subgrouped into three forms (two-way, one-way, other-way) and three types (physical, verbal, social). Responses were categorised into adapting, distancing, dominating and engaging. There was no support for Falbo and Peplau's (1980) two-dimensional model for classifying types of interpersonal responses in power-differentiated situations. Power was constructed most frequently as 'power-within'. Perceived power ratings formed a Global Power Score (GPS), with males reporting higher GPSs. Males and year group 7/8 reported more physical difficulties in the 'same' power, and females and year group 7/8 more social difficulties in the 'less' and 'more' power scenarios. Students reported more adapting responses in the difficult interpersonal situations. Adapting and distancing responses were more frequent in the less power scenario, and dominating and engaging more frequent in the more and less power scenarios respectively. Affect and relationship status outcomes were rated more positively in same power scenario. Outcomes were more positive for difficulties with friends. Students rated their responses more positively when they used engaging strategies, but less positively when they used distancing or dominating. Power theories provided partial explanations for the findings and alternative frameworks to bullying and conflict for understanding negative peer interactions. This study extends on knowledge of adolescents' school-based relationships and proposes a power model for schools.

The Commercialization of the Easter Holiday, The Birth of Christianity and the Sacrificial Lamb
Easter Holiday – The Commercialization of One of the Biggest Festivals of the Modern Christian Church.
As we all know, the Easter Holiday is one of the most celebrated holidays worldwide and one of the biggest festivals of the modern Christian church. And in just the last half century, it has become well known as the commercialization of the Easter Holiday by the corporate world to boost their profits. Easter Holiday Weekend is the 3rd largest grossing sales period behind the Christmas holiday and Thanksgiving which has "Black Friday".
The Celebration of Easter Holiday and Corporate Infiltration of the Easter Holiday
The corporate and business world sees the Easter Holiday differently - as a game of monopoly - by trying to see who can make the most profit. You can go into some stores as early as 2 months before Easter and you'll find all sorts of Easter Holiday goodies all packaged in Easter bunny shapes and forms. The shiny colored eggs always come later only because the eggs will become rotten sitting on the shelves too long.
That's right, even the pagans got into the act of celebrating the Easter Holiday event which is somehow the reason that eggs and rabbits intertwined with the sacred holiday of Christianity now called Easter. Eggs and Rabbits are widely-used pagan symbols of fertility.
By coloring the Easter Eggs and putting them in fancy packaging kind of took away the anger of the Christians celebrating Christ. This was a good way of seeing Easter eggs or other candies and treats, as symbols of joy and celebration (as they were forbidden during the fast of Lent) as well as being a "taste" of new life and resurrection that they have in Jesus Christ.
Also the custom was born to hide brightly colored eggs for children to search and find for excitement and amusement because they were too young to understand the meaning of all this religious morality.
How Easter Holiday, the Birth of Christianity & the Sacrificial Lamb Stimulates the Economy
The Easter Holiday does stimulate the economy though, especial the medicinal world of selling products to ease the body ailments from eating all the sugary and chemically process sweets. Afterwards all the dentists are all booked out from filling cavities and the Gyms are full of people who want to take off the pounds they gained during the holidays. Sad but true!
During Easter, it is difficult to go out shopping and not find an array of Easter Holiday goods on display from sweets, gift item baskets and greeting cards. Every business want to take part in the Easter Holiday for the profits of Easter
How Easter Holiday, the Birth of Christianity & the Sacrificial Lamb Came About
Obviously it is about Jesus Christ, whose sacrificial death is celebrated by Christians around the world on the Easter Holiday Weekend. Easter is the oldest Christian holiday and the most important day of their church year.
All the Christian movable feasts and the entire liturgical year of worship are arranged around Easter. Easter is preceded by the season of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting and repentance culminating in Holy Week, and followed by a 50-day Easter Season that stretches from Easter to Pentecost.
The name Easter is derived from the word Eostre. Eostre was the ancient Greek goddess of spring. Thus, ancient Greeks held pagan festivals to welcome Eostre and herald the onset of the Spring season.
Some people even believe that Easter Holiday is related to the Hebrew celebration, the Jewish Passover. Passover is celebrated to mark the freedom of the Israelites from bondage and slavery after 300 years in Egypt.
The Easter Holiday is a festival that denotes life, rejuvenation, renewal, rebirth and restoration of all beings on Earth as well as spiritual awareness of the gift of eternal life given to us by our creator.
Now, for Some Fun Facts About the Easter Holiday, The Birth of Christianity & the Sacrificial Lamb
For instance, did you know that each year over 90 million chocolate Easter bunnies are made for the Easter holidays?
Each day, over five million marshmallow chicks and bunnies are produced in preparation for Easter.
16 billion jelly beans are made for Easter (that's enough to completely fill an 89 feet high and 60 feet wide plastic Easter egg – about the height of a nine-story office building!)
75 percent of kids are willing to do extra chores for extra Easter candy (what? Are we supposed to give them sweets to rot their teeth for doing chores? (lol).
88 percent of adults carry on the Easter tradition of creating Easter baskets for their kids and 90 percent of adults hope for their own treat from the Easter Bunny. Who wouldn't want to enjoy eating chocolate?
When taking a bite into a chocolate bunny, 76% of Americans prefer to bite off the ears first. 5% eat the feet first and 4% eat the tail first.
The first chocolate eggs were made in Germany in the 19th century and remain one of the most popular Easter candies today.
The exchange of eggs for Easter dates back to a springtime custom older than Easter itself in which eggs were given as a symbol of rebirth in many cultures.
There is a lot more to "Easter Holiday" than what is written here. More information of course can be found by googling the search-term keyword "Easter Holiday" which has an average of 260,000 searches per month.

My daughter was glued to the spin art table at a carnival that we went to a few months ago, so when I saw this easy spin art machine from Crayola I couldn't resist purchasing it. My friend Jean at The Artful Parent recently set up a fun spin art project for her five year old using a salad spinner and thin white paper plates. This is the same set-up we had at that carnival, and it's an amazing low-cost, upcycled option with great results. I bet you could find a salad spinner at the dollar store if you didn't want to run yours through the ringer.
Here's what we did:
We added paint…
and gave it a few spins.
Added more paint
And sat back to watch the magic happen.
Like marble painting, once N got going there was no stopping her. She made MANY of these beauties and I'm thinking of turning them into bunting for her birthday. Any ideas?
I wish I could remember how it came up, but we started musing on what would happen if we used ketchup instead of paint. I'm not an advocate of playing with food, but I am an advocate of experimentation, so we brought out the ketchup to see what would happen.
It was a slurry of a mess, that got even more sludgy after we added ranch dressing. Sorry I missed snapping that…it all happened pretty quickly. The next morning, N requested eggs and ketchup…
in the spinner. Of course.
This is a totally reasonable request, right?
So we cut some plates down to size.
Scrambled up some eggs.
Squeezed the ketchup on.
And spun it around until it was good and messy. As you can imagine, the eggs flew around the spinner in every direction. Because of their flatness, I bet pancakes and maple syrup would work beautifully. What do you think?
Aesthetics aside, it still tasted good.
Have you been experimenting in the kitchen? Please share!
This post is happily shared with

This is the second article in this series about implementing and using WS-Security-based protection in enterprise environments. The first article reviewed existing setups and gaps, and proposed plans for development of a WSSE Toolkit, which is intended to address some of those gaps. This article introduces the framework of the proposed WSSE Toolkit (a subset of current project's source is also available for download), and explains a high-level mapping of WSSE features to the object-oriented realms of the Java language.
As stated in the Toolkit's requirements, one of the intentions for this project was the simplification of dealing with WS-Security in today's programming environments. This burden should be moved to the framework, with the intent of eventually delegating it to the infrastructure layer, where it actually belongs. Therefore, before reviewing the Toolkit's structure and its relationship to the WSSE standards, I would like to take a look from the consumer's side; i.e., view the Toolkit as a black box for now.
The code example below shows how a client would access the Toolkit:
WsseHeaderToken wsseHeader = new WsseHeaderToken();
// Add Timestamp element to the WSSE Header
TsToken ts = wsseHeader.AddTimestamp(60);
// Sign the timestamp element with default certificate
WsToken[] sigTokens = new WsToken[] {ts};
// Encrypt the signature and body elements with default key
WsTokenRef[] encTokens = new WsTokenRef[]
{ new DSigTokenRef(), new SoapBodyRef() };
Element soap = wsseHeader.GetSoapEnvelope();
This simple example creates a new WSSE Header with a child timestamp element, and signs the timestamp using the XML Signature provider implementation, retrieved from the Toolkit's configuration file. The signature and timestamp elements in the security header are then encrypted by the configured XML Encryption provider.
The difficulty of processing WSSE information lies in the procedural nature of XML parsing, leading to stacks of unwieldy spaghetti code. The code, which implements complicated security specifications, tries to map its procedural rules onto object-oriented realms. The Toolkit's objects, representing particular WSSE elements (see the WSSE Mapping section), will isolate this tedious parsing process, creating an object-oriented wrapper on top of XML-handling code.
WsseHeaderToken class, provided by the Toolkit, implements several convenience wrappers to isolate complexities of the framework from its clients. However, if necessary, the Toolkit objects may be created and accessed directly from the code--for instance, when a new type of processing, not covered by the existing helpers, is desired, a corresponding processor object may be created and inserted into the header. This is demonstrated in the example below, which copies elements from one WSSE header to another using a sample processor and token.
// Reference and read WSSE header with null actor
WsseHeaderRef ref = WsseHeaderRef.CreateFromFile(filename, null);
WsseHeaderToken wsseHeader = ref.GetWsseHeader();
// Reference a sample element in the retrieved header
SampleTokenRef sampleRef = new SampleTokenRef(wsseHeader,"sample1");
SampleToken sample = sampleRef.GetSampleToken();
// Create a new WSSE header and add the element
WsseHeaderToken wsseNew = new WsseHeaderToken();
// Add sample element's processing in the new WSSE header
SampleProcessor sampleProcessor = new SampleProcessor();
Element soap = wsseNew.GetSoapEnvelope();

Java vs. .NET Security
The framework's hierarchy maps, to a large extent, to the XML blocks described in the WSSE specification (PDF). The Toolkit contains the following types of objects:
WsToken and
WsCompositeToken in the
wsse.Toolkit.Tokens package.
WsTokenRef in the
wsse.Toolkit.Tokens.Refs package.
DSigProcessor and
EncProcessor, which insert additional tokens into the security header and/or alter the existing tokens. However, such a behavior is by no means a requirement, and other, non-altering types of processing are possible. The
ITokenProcessor interface in the
wsse.Toolkit.Processors package reflects this intention by avoiding the introduction of new tokens in signatures of its methods.
wsse.Toolkit.Utils package (configuration, XML, etc.), as well as supporting classes for SAML and user directory operations (the
wsse.Toolkit.Saml and
wsse.Toolkit.Directory packages). These objects are utilized by other Toolkit components and do not represent any part of WSSE Headers.
WsseHeaderToken class, in addition to its normal token interface, also defines some additional convenience methods, which instantiate and insert Toolkit's objects for processing. The clients are certainly free to work directly with the Toolkit's objects, if so desired.
It is worth mentioning here that not all of these objects are going to be available right away--rather, they will be introduced and added to the Toolkit according to the phases, laid out in the Conclusion section of part one. Implementation of those elements of WSSE Headers will be covered in later articles of this series.
Figure 1 below graphically shows the relationships between the different types of the Toolkit framework's objects and its clients.
Figure 1. Toolkit's operation
There are several important points about the Toolkit's operation that can be added for better understanding of Figure 1:
wsse.Toolkit.Tokens.Wss.TsToken class)--instead, a new one is created and inserted whenever needed.
org.w3c.dom.Element XML element representing the token, and perform shallow validity verification of the passed data. In all cases, it is very important to properly and consistently maintain the
org.w3c.dom.Document that is used to create new XML elements--mismatching documents will result in errors during the insertion process. The document-handling functionality lives in the base token classes,
WsToken and
WsCompositeToken, and in the helper class
wsse.Toolkit.Tokens.WsToken class, most of them are not expected to be insertable and serve for addressing existing XML elements. However, some of the references, covered in the WSSE Mapping section below, are expected to be insertable, so the implementation allows adding this capability to references, as well.
DSig element into the security header. The processor's interface contract merely promises that referenced tokens will be processed in some way, and does not deal with new tokens resulting from the processing.
Since the Toolkit provides a rather lightweight object layer, a new set of objects, with its own context, is instantiated for processing each client, and, therefore, concurrency is not an issue. As a result, the Toolkit's classes generally do not provide synchronization locks, with the exception of the
wsse.Toolkit.Utils.Xml.XmlFactory and
wsse.Toolkit.Utils.Config.ConfigHelper classes, which do contain some shared functionality. However, the configured Directory and SAML providers must be thread-safe, as the same provider implementations will be accessed from all executing clients.
Now it is necessary to review the mapping of the Toolkit's elements to the major building blocks of the WSSE specification. A word of caution--according to Section 5 of the specification (PDF), "the
<wsse:Security> header block provides a mechanism for attaching security-related information targeted at a specific recipient in the form of a SOAP actor/role." In other words, this header is extensible by design, and it is not feasible trying to address all of its possible applications. Therefore, the Toolkit's framework only attempts to map the tokens and relationships, existing within the main specification, while allowing for adding new types of tokens and processing later on.
WS-Security machinery is actually defined of a number of related documents, which are depicted in Figure 2.
Figure 2. WS-Security documents hierarchy
First, there is the main WSSE specification (PDF), which lays out the ground rules about the data passed in security headers, and the rules of inserting them into the SOAP messages. This specification defines the essential part, or XML "skeletons" of the contained security tokens, leaving it up to the so-called profile documents (referred to in the appropriate sections below) to fill the details about tokens' content, as well as referencing rules.
A full example of a signed WSSE Header with various types of tokens and a SAML assertion can be viewed here using the latest versions of IE or Mozilla-based browsers (it is also a part of the source download). Figure 3 presents an annotated outline of a WSSE Header with several tokens and a signature in it.
Figure 3. Annotated WSSE Header
Section 6 of the WSSE specification describes various types of security tokens that may be added to a WS-Security Header. These security tokens are generally carried in WSSE Headers to pass certain security information to the request's target (or, in some cases, intermediate) service. The specification, however, does not dictate what kind of information is passed around, leaving it up to the communicating applications to agree on semantics. What is enforced, however, are the insertion and processing rules for the supported types of tokens.
WSSE security tokens are represented by the classes in the
wsse.Toolkit.Tokens.Wss package. Most of the supported token types are creatable from the existing XML; i.e., they can be extracted from one message and used in another one, which was one of the requirements for the Toolkit. All of the tokens, described below (with the exception of the header token itself), are optional. Their presence in the security header is dictated not by the WSSE specification, but by the application's logic.
Token validation against the standards takes place when XML is generated for a particular token, or when a token is created from the existing XML element. XML generation and its validation are delayed until the token is explicitly asked for its XML content. This allows for avoiding excessive XML parsing and for implementing only a single validation point, rather than scattering it over a number of places where XML elements may be constructed and updated. XML generation and insertion depends on the tokens' ordering, and, in certain cases, this ordering is important for proper processing of the generated header.
The Toolkit includes two different types of tokens--simple ones, which represent a single XML element, and composite tokens (represented by the
WsCompositeToken class), which may optionally include other tokens. Rules for processing and handling the composite tokens are different from those of simple ones, since the composite tokens must propagate any operation (such as setting the owner document) down to the children, and to define a number of additional search/replace methods on the contained tokens.
<wsse:Security SOAP-ENV:actor="myService"
A WSSE Header itself, shown in the preceding code example, is represented by the
WsseHeaderToken class. This class handles processing of all of the contained security tokens, enforces the header's conformance to the specification, and generates the header's XML. It supports the SOAP 1.1
actor attribute, as specified in the Section 5 of the WSSE specification. The SOAP
mustUnderstand attribute can be set on the generated header, but enforcement of its processing rules should happen prior to constructing new headers and, therefore, falls outside of the Toolkit's scope.
Additionally, the
WsseHeaderToken class includes a number of helper functions to perform common header operations, such as inserting a timestamp or signing and encrypting its tokens. It also exposes generic methods to insert additional types of token processors for extensibility, as demonstrated in Example 2. All added processors are called in turn, according to their insertion order--this helps to ensure that newly generated XML elements are made available for the processors later in the chain.
<wsse:Security ...>
<wsse:UsernameToken wsu:Id="xdJKdk6hgg68h">
<wsse:Password Type="wsse:PasswordDigest">
wsse.Toolkit.Tokens.Wss.UsernameToken class handles the
UsernameToken element, described in the Section 6.2 of the WSSE specification and in the Section 3 of Username token profile (PDF). The
UsernameToken element is used as a standard means of passing the user's name and (optionally, as a confirmation mechanism) his or her password to the destination service. It also supports addressing by
wsu:Id, which is used to reference it from the processing nodes, such as XML Signature. Auxiliary classes from the package
wsse.Toolkit.Directory are used to retrieve user information from the specified User Store--it is represented in the code via
wsse.Toolkit.Directory.IUserDirectory interface.
<wsse:Security ...>
<wsse:BinarySecurityToken ValueType="wsse:X509v3"
Binary tokens, from Section 6.3 of the WSSE specification and Section 3 of the X.509 token profile (PDF), which are used in WSSE to pass key or certificate data, are supported by the Toolkit's
wsse.Toolkit.Tokens.Wss.BSTToken class. Since XML is a text-based format, the value of this element has to be Base64-encoded prior to inserting it into the security header. Although several profile specifications already exist (or are being developed), representing different types of binary tokens (Kerberos tickets, for instance), the Toolkit will only support X.509 tokens, as they are significantly more widespread.
Due to the extreme flexibility and great variety of possible XML security tokens, details of attaching them to the WSSE Header (see Section 6.4 of the specification) are completely deferred to the specific profile documents--for other supported token types, the main WSSE specification at least defines a general insertion framework. The Toolkit provides the class
wsse.Toolkit.Tokens.Wss.SamlAssertionToken to implement the SAML token profile (PDF), which details the attachment of SAML Assertions to WSSE Headers. Assertion generation is delegated to configured providers, which are accessed via the
wsse.Toolkit.Saml.IAssertionGenerator interface.
In general, providing a good reference framework for WSSE security tokens is a very non-trivial task, especially remembering that most elements may occur more than once in a particular header. Fortunately, the Toolkit does not need to provide a full generic implementation--when tokens are parsed from an existing header, it is reasonable to assume that the application has certain knowledge of the security tokens that it is intending to pass on.
References' implementations rely on certain specific characteristics of various types of tokens to retrieve or construct their instances. Usage of some tokens may be restricted (either by the standards, or by application policy) to only a single token per header (like timestamps, for instance, or by rejecting requests with more than one
Username XML element); others may specify additional search context (such as the signer's public key name), sufficient for unambiguously retrieving the desired token from the processed WSSE header.

The WSSE specification defines a
wsse:SecurityTokenReference element as a common way of referencing security tokens, be they X.509 certificates or SAML assertions. In the Toolkit, references to security tokens are handled via derivatives from the
wsse.Toolkit.Tokens.Refs.WsTokenRef class. Generally, reference elements are going to be added to other security tokens (for instance,
DSig) during their processing, so there is no need to explicitly insert instances of reference classes into
WsCompositeToken objects. The only exception to this rule is the
wsse.Toolkit.Tokens.Refs.Xml.SecureTokenRef class, which represents the
wsse:SecurityTokenReference XML element in the Toolkit's framework.
Since the
wsse:SecurityTokenReference element is supposed to handle references to almost any imaginable type of security token, its structure is by necessity very complicated. Section 7.1 of the WSSE specification lists several possible types of reference mechanisms that could be used with this token:
wsu:Id attribute. Note that it may also reference external URLs.
SubjectKeyIdentifier value, as specified in Section 3.2.1 of the X.509 Token Profile.
Several additional reference mechanisms are defined for the STR tokens, including Key Names and Embedded References in the main WSSE specification. However, due to lack of space, they are not going to be covered here in any detail.
Besides simply carrying security tokens, the WSSE specification utilizes XML Signature and XML Encryption recommendations to protect the integrity and confidentiality of SOAP messages. In the Toolkit, this functionality is represented by Token Processors. Their main common feature is that they all work on already-present nodes in the security headers, possibly altering or removing them, and inserting new ones into the WSSE header to reflect the processing results. This behavior is defined by the
wsse.Toolkit.Processors.ITokenProcessor interface, and concrete implementations will provide processor-specific logic. At the moment, implementation of two processors for XML Signing and Encryption is planned and will be covered in future installments.
This article provided a high-level overview of major components of the WSSE Toolkit (tokens, references, and processors) and how they match various parts of the WS-Security standards. In the next installment we will have fun dissecting the verification requirements of a WSSE Header and describing implementation details of Username, Binary, and SAML tokens, as specified in the development plan for the Toolkit in the opening article of this series.
The project's source that accompanies this article is being developed in Java using Borland's JBuilder IDE, and includes its project files. There is also a crude Windows batch file to build the class hierarchy included with the archive, which may be downloaded here. As the project moves forward, the implementation files will be updated or added to the project, and made available with the new installments of this series. Please, direct all comments regarding the project's source code to my email address (see the author's link at the beginning), as I prefer to separate programming and standards discussions.

I am interested in advice on how to find right person (film maker) and fund a small documentary style effort and what might be interesting goals / benefits that makes it a win/win for company and film producer. Budget would likely be shoestring, but could be an interesting experience.
Example situation:
Say you have a big event every year like MacWorld (AppleWorld) or an auto show (but put on by only one company, not a tradeshow)... you show off your latest products, you launch 2 or 3 new things, and you show a vision of where your company is going (concept cars, or other physical immersive manifestations). You have to entice the media and your top customers to attend and you want to broadcast and create discussion around all 3 parts of this event experience...
I am exploring how a highly experiential event with similar attributes could leverage film/documentary storytelling in interesting, meaningful ways – meaningful to the company, its stakeholders, and the film maker...
Some nice to have goals for company might be:
+ capture people's reactions around new product innovation at large/major event in Eastern Europe (new product concepts around several themes, dramatic event experience in major city, new products being launched, other interesting products being demonstrated/show for sales in both business to business and business to consumer arena)
+ capture value design is adding to business
+ possible interviews with CEO/CMOs from top companies
+ many other areas that could be mutually interesting if discussed... but trying to understand if this might be interesting to a qualified independent film maker or high potential starting out
There could be two cuts... both would likely be very people-focused. But, one could capture essence of business value and the other could be all around creative/design side of things.

Sony Corp. this month nearly secretly admitted that faulty Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) are inside the company's Vaio notebooks and are causing problems to owners. The company said it would repair the systems affected by the problems of Nvidia's chips four years after the date of purchase regardless of the warranty status.
"In July 2008, Nvidia publicly acknowledged a failure associated with some of their graphics processors (GPU) due to a manufacturing defect in the graphics chip packaging. At that time Sony and Nvidia jointly investigated whether Vaio models equipped with this GPU were impacted by the issue. This investigation revealed that the issue had not occurred in such Vaio models. However, after closely monitoring the situation, Sony has now determined that a very small percentage of computers with the Nvidia graphics chips may be affected," a statement by Sony only available to owners of Vaio laptops and republished by SemiAccurate web-site reads.
Sony admitted that numerous Vaio notebooks may exhibit distorted video, random characters or a blank screen due to failure of the Nvidia graphics chips. Similar effects are described by other makers of notebooks with faulty Nvidia GPUs inside.
It is rather surprising that Sony only admitted the issue about thirteen months after Nvidia itself confirmed that some of its graphics chips and core-logic sets for mobile computers are defective because of the improper high-lead packaging technology and high temperatures inside notebooks. So far numerous notebook vendors, including Apple, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and others publicly indicated issues with Nvidia products.
Even though Nvidia itself has always claimed that a very small amount of laptop graphics processors and chipsets were affected by the "bump crack" issue, so far the company spent $315.1 million on repairs of its chips and notebooks on their base.
Nvidia officially admitted that its GeForce 8400M and 8600M were affected by the issues with non-eutectic packaging, however, there is information that certain nForce chipsets as well as GeForce 8800/9800-series solutions were also affected.
"As part of our commitment to quality, for any customer who requires repair of their Vaio due to the Nvidia graphics processor issue, Sony will cover the cost of repair (parts and labour) at no charge during the first four years following the date of purchase of the models in question," said Sony.
The list of potentially affected Sony Vaio systems includes the following families and models:
- VGN-FZ11x, VGN-FZ18x, VGN-FZ21x, VGN-FZ31x, VGN-FZ38x;
- VGN-AR11x, VGN-AR21x, VGN-AR31x;
- VGN-C1Zx, VGN-C2Zx;
- VGC-LM1xx, VGC-LM2xx;
- VGC-LT1xx, VGC-LT2xx.

Online retailer Wayfair.com tops $1 billion in sales
January 10, 2014-- Furniture Today,
BOSTON — After a little more than a decade in business, home furnishings e-commerce giant Wayfair.com topped $1 billion in orders this past year.
Niraj Shah, co-founder and CEO of the Boston-based company confirmed that order volume exceeded $1 billion in 2013, and delivered sales were more than $900 million, for a growth rate of more than 50% year over year. Total sales in 2012 were just under $600 million.
Wayfair doesn't break out its furniture, bedding and accessories sales but Shah said furniture and décor represents "the vast majority of business." It's believed to be fastest growing segment for the e-commerce giant, too.
The online retailer, which started in 2002 as CSN Stores, changed its name to Wayfair.com in September 2011 and now operates under four e-commerce banners - the core Wayfair.com, fast growing flash sale site Joss & Main, AllModern and DwellStudio, which also has a small showroom in New York's SoHo neighborhood.
Wayfair.com previously reported that Cyber Monday sales topped $9 million, for its biggest sales day in history, and that sales for the long holiday weekend - Thanksgiving day through Cyber Monday - reached $25 million, up 56% from a year ago.

The smell of bacon is in the air in Des Moines as thousands converge on Iowa's capital city for an increasingly popular bacon festival.
The annual Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival features more than just a side to eggs and hash browns. Festival-goers will find everything from chocolate-dipped bacon to bacon-flavored cupcakes and gelato.
Urbandale resident Mike Vogel showed up Saturday for a fourth year wearing a head-to-toe bacon costume. He says the event will only grow in popularity because people love bacon.
More than 8,000 people from around the country are expected to attend Saturday's event at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
The festival was preceded Friday with a bacon queen pageant and a pig pardon by Gov. Terry Branstad.

Moretown Landfill's owner sends trash elsewhere
MORETOWN — The parent company of the Moretown Landfill has been diverting a notable amount of waste to other facilities in the Northeast as the local site nears its permitted capacity, according to the landfill's general manager.
General Manager Tom Badowski said that during the last several weeks the landfill's parent company has shifted some material taken in at transfer stations in Williston and St. Johnsbury, which was destined for Moretown, to another landfill the company owns in South Hadley, Mass.
In the last 60 days, several industrial contracts with operations ranging from sewage treatment plants to manufacturers have begun being handled at an incinerator in Connecticut and a facility in New Hampshire, Badowski said.
The overall effect has been a reduction of about 85 to 100 tons of refuse taken in at the Moretown landfill each day, he said. The landfill has typically received 550 tons of refuse daily, he said.
"From a bottom line standpoint, I can tell you it's huge," Badowski said.
Third-party customers, such as independent haulers, have not been affected yet, Badowski said Monday.
The company had sent a letter to the Moretown Select Board Nov. 2 warning that up to 80 percent of normal intake could need to be turned away starting Dec. 1 to extend the life of the landfill. The company had estimated it would reach its permitted limit in February if no adjustments were made.
The Moretown Landfill currently has three areas for dumping waste. The company is seeking permission to create a fourth area, or "cell," which would be about the size of the other three combined.
The town's Development Review Board is reviewing an application for the expansion. The next meeting is Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the Town Hall.
The state recently cited the company for 12 alleged violations, ranging from odor to stormwater issues. Badowski said he believed all the concerns have been addressed and that a formal reply to the allegations could be coming this week.
The state's solid waste program manager, Cathy Jamieson, said some actions require immediate responses but others have longer response times. According to the letter, dated Nov. 20, many items required immediate responses; several needed to be addressed within a week; and other concerns required a company response within two, 14 or 30 days.
Executives at the parent company of the landfill, Advanced Disposal of Jacksonville, Fla., will decide what — and when — further intake reductions may be needed at the Moretown facility, according to Badowski. Messages left with the company's vice president of landfills, Gerald Allen Jr., and its chief marketing officer, Mary O'Brien, were not immediately returned.
