PALO ALTO, CA, May 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) The recent data breaches faced by Sony, Epsilon and TJX once again highlight the risks that lapses in governance pose to enterprise data security. To protect valuable company and customer data, enterprises need to implement IT security governance as a mechanism for managing authorization and access via pre-defined rules and policies. Industry-standard technologies, such as the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XAMCL), are helping to facilitate this governance by enabling more efficient and nuanced security policy enforcement.
IT architects and developers can learn about security governance best practices and enabling technologies by attending the interactive online class, "Security Policy Enforcement for the Enterprise." The two-hour session is being offered at no cost as a part of the WSO2 SOA Summer School program (http://wso2.org/training?052411s). It will be held on Wednesday, June 1, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific. To participate, register at: http://tinyurl.com/SOASecuritySchool.
The Security Policy Enforcement class will begin by reviewing core concepts around governance, security policy, how security policy is enforced, and the challenges presented by business-to-business transactions. The session will then examine how XACML acts as a medium to enforce role-based access control, how it can be used for defining fine-grained authorization policies, and how XACML can applied to both SOAP-based Web services and RESTful services. Additionally, attendees will learn how to use XACML based on Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) assertions, as well as how to restrict service calls by enforcing role access.
Leading the class are Dimuthu Leelarathne, WSO2 technical lead and product manager of WSO2 Stratos (http://wso2.com/about/team/dimuthu-leelarathne?052411s), and Amila Jayasekara, WSO2 technical lead (http://wso2.com/about/team/amila-jayasekara?052411s). In addition to their track record in product innovation, Dimuthu and Amila both bring proven expertise in helping WSO2 enterprise customers to successfully implement security policies within their SOAs.
SOA Summer School
Since 2009, the popular WSO2 SOA Summer School program has helped more than 2,000 enterprise IT architects and developers become more familiar with service-oriented architecture (SOA) technologies and best practices. The all-new classes for 2011 are open to all individuals who want to learn proven techniques for addressing enterprises' top IT challenges. Taught by some of the industry's leading technical experts, the classes offer an opportunity to obtain thousands of dollars worth of professional training at zero cost.

2 Greenland glaciers lose enough ice to fill Lake Erie
2011-05-24
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A new study aimed at refining the way scientists measure ice loss in Greenland is providing a "high-definition picture" of climate-caused changes on the island.
And the picture isn't pretty.
In the last decade, two of the largest three glaciers draining that frozen landscape have lost enough ice that, if melted, could have filled Lake Erie.
The three glaciers – Helheim, Kangerdlugssuaq and Jakobshavn Isbrae – are responsible for as much as one-fifth of the ice flowing out from Greenland into the ocean.
"Jakobshavn alone drains somewhere between ...
Nearby supernova factory ramps up
2011-05-24
A local supernova factory has recently started production, according to a wealth of new data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory on the Carina Nebula. This discovery may help astronomers better understand how some of the Galaxy's heaviest and youngest stars race through their lives and release newly-forged elements into their surroundings.
Located in the Sagittarius-Carina arm of the Milky Way a mere 7,500 light years from Earth, the Carina Nebula has long been a favorite target for astronomers using telescopes tuned to a wide range of wavelengths. Chandra's extraordinarily ...
U-M study: Kids dependent on long-term ventilation require longer, more expensive hospital care
2011-05-24
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Despite significant technological improvements, children reliant on long-term mechanical ventilation often require extensive additional care, including costly hospital stays and emergency visits.
A new study led by University of Michigan researchers found that children with complex chronic conditions who require long-term mechanical ventilation have significantly higher mortality, longer length of hospitalizations, higher mean charges, and more emergency department admissions.
The results of this study, led by Brian D. Benneyworth, M.D., M.S., Pediatric ...

Medicare improved Canadian doctors' salaries: Queen's University study
2011-05-24
U.S. doctors might find that their incomes start to rise – not decline – when Barack Obama's healthcare reforms are put in place says a Queen's University School of Medicine professor.
"The medical-income argument in the United States against moving toward a Canadian-style system is feeble," says Jacalyn Duffin, a medical doctor who specializes in the history of medicine. "Physicians' incomes grew more quickly than those of other Canadian professions following Medicare. The universal, single-payer system has been good not only for Canadians but also for Canada's doctors."
Dr. ...
Bipolar disorder: Mind-body connection suggests new directions for treatment, research
2011-05-24
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- A new study by motor control and psychology researchers at Indiana University suggests that postural control problems may be a core feature of bipolar disorder, not just a random symptom, and can provide insights both into areas of the brain affected by the psychiatric disorder and new potential targets for treatment.
Problems with balance, postural control and other motor control issues are frequently experienced by people with mood and psychiatric disorders such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and neurological disorders such as Huntington's ...
Feuding helium dwarfs exposed by eclipse
2011-05-24
Researchers at the University of Warwick have found a unique feuding double white dwarf star system where each star appears to have been stripped down to just its helium.
We know of just over 50 close double white dwarfs but this was only the second ever eclipsing close white dwarf pair to be found. The University of Warwick astronomers Steven Parsons and Professor Tom Marsh were able to use the fact that the stars eclipse each other when seen from Earth to make particularly detailed observations of the system.
Those observations revealed that uniquely both the white ...
Beyond the barn: Keeping dairy cows outside is good for the outdoors
2011-05-24
This release is available in Spanish.
Computer simulation studies by scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) suggests that a dairy cow living year-round in the great outdoors may leave a markedly smaller ecological hoofprint than its more sheltered sisters.
Agricultural Research Service (ARS) agricultural engineer Al Rotz led a team that evaluated how different management systems on a typical 250-acre Pennsylvania dairy farm would affect the environment. ARS is USDA's chief intramural scientific research agency, and this work supports the USDA commitment ...
Earth: Waves of disaster: Lessons from Japan and New Zealand
2011-05-24
Alexandria, VA – On Feb. 22, a magnitude-6.1 earthquake struck Christchurch, New Zealand, killing nearly 200 people and causing $12 billion in damage. About three weeks later, a massive magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck northern Honshu, Japan. The quake and tsunami killed about 30,000 people and caused an estimated $310 billion in damage. Both events are stark reminders of human vulnerability to natural disasters and provide a harsh reality check: Even technologically advanced countries with modern building codes are not immune from earthquake disasters.
Both events also ...
