Saqi Books
Saqi Books is an independent publishing house in London. Saqi Books was co-founded in 1984 by author and feminist Mai Ghoussoub[1] to publish academic and general interest books on the Middle East and North Africa. Saqi titles encompass different disciplines from politics, history and gender studies to culture, art and travel.[2] Prominent Saqi titles include Syria Speaks: Art and Culture from the Frontline and A Concise History of the Arabs.[3]
More recently, Saqi Books launched two imprints: the Westbourne Press in 2012 [4] and Telegram in 2005.[5] The Westbourne Press is a non-fiction imprint that has published titles such as Reza Aslan's Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth,[6] Eric Berkowitz's Sex and Punishment: Four Thousand Years of Judging Desire [7] and Superman is an Arab by Joumana Haddad.[8] Maggie Gee's novel Virginia Woolf in Manhattan was published by Telegram in 2014.[9]
On its 21st Anniversary in 2004, The Independent praised Saqi for 'issuing titles that stimulate and challenge - books with "editorial audacity"'[10]
The Saqi Bookshop is located in central London on 26 Westbourne Grove. In 2008 Saqi Books held its 25th anniversary celebration at Kensington Town Hall featuring musician Brian Eno, Turkish author Moris Farhi and British author Maggie Gee.[1]
Saqi Books received the IPG Diversity Award in 2013 [11] and the Arab British Culture and Society award and the British Book Industry Award for Diversity in Literature in 2008 and 2009 respectively.[12]
Saqi Books' sister company Dar al-Saqi is based in Beirut, Lebanon.[13]

Does anyone take this combination and is it safe I suffer from ADHD depression and anxiety for over 10yrs

Yes... I take the same meds. But take klonopin 2@day for panic attacks. And I take 600 mg of seroquel plus 10mg of ambien. For the past 3 years I have been doing great. I feel comfortable. I always get at least half hour of excersize daily... Like yoga and just walking my dogs. I have also lost 10 lbs. I do believe that the adder all might b responsible for some anxiety but helps so much with depression. You are on such low doses, you are lucky to have found a dr that will prescibe a nice combination. I wouldn't worry about the safe compatability. Your dr knows what he/she is doing. Hope this helps :)

Speedy recipes, cooking hints to the rescue
Reader Gerald Stewart of Vista reminded me of a home-economics class basic: "The best tip I have is to cook as much as you can when you do cook, then put single servings into zip-lock sandwich bags, put a bunch of those into gallon zip-lock bags and then freeze. I can usually get 15 to 30 meals with only one batch of dirty dishes." This is an excellent reminder that the freezer is our friend! If you can find the time to cook, it pays to make double or triple batches of dishes your family enjoys, portion the food accordingly and freeze it for later microwaving or oven reheating.
Gerald points out that this works especially well with full-size turkeys (or roasts, if you prefer) when they're on sale. A 12-pound turkey he recently roasted yielded 15 zip-lock bag portions of sliced turkey and gravy. "With canned corn or beets and a quick salad from store-bought prepared lettuce," he writes, "the turkey and gravy becomes a quick meal. … I have my own 'TV dinners,' but I have controlled the fat, salt and cholesterol." Gerald, you are so right. Prepared foods can be very high in salts, fats and sugars, and it's great to be able to control these substances.
Cooking a turkey isn't a speedy undertaking, but it is a project that pays dividends if you can do it over the course of a weekend. Of course, you have to know how to take a turkey apart, but the only way to learn is to get in there and do it. (Trust me, that's how we all learned!)
Gerald adds that the turkey carcass, once you've removed most (not all) of the meat, can make a good soup or casserole base. Put the bones in your slow cooker with a couple of bay leaves and chopped cloves of garlic (or your favorite soup seasoning) and water to cover, and let them simmer. Then strain the broth. (I put mine in the fridge for a day to be able to scoop off the solidified fat that rises to the top after chilling.) Pack the broth into containers, freeze it, and on a busy night, defrost the broth, bring it to a boil, and add your favorite frozen (or fresh, if you have time to prep them) veggies and some noodles or tiny pasta. If you prefer a casserole-like dish, add enough pasta to absorb all the broth. If you'd rather have soup, add just a small amount of pasta.
Now, if you don't have time to cook a turkey, this fast recipe is from Marilyn Holst of Vista. Chicken Piccata is one of my favorite restaurant dishes, but I had no idea it was so easy to make at home. Chicken breasts and cutlets are one of those kitchen staples that should always be kept on hand, because they lend themselves to many recipes and to speedy cooking. Thanks, Marilyn!

Pentagon officials say that further delaying the "sequestration" spending cuts, as President Barack Obama has proposed, would do little to avert the cuts' long-term impact on U.S. military readiness. Republicans on the House and Senate Armed Service committees are launching a new push to pay down the spending cuts through other means, in a move that some analysts believe could make it harder for the GOP to maintain its unified opposition to tax increases.

Metallica Sets New Record As Only Band With Five Albums Debuting at No. 1
Death Magnetic, the ninth studio album from multi-platinum hard-rock band Metallica, is the best-selling album in the country this week, debuting atop the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart at No. 1, making Metallica the only band in chart history to have five albums debut at No. 1.
Metallica breaks their tie with the Beatles, U2 and the Dave Matthews Band, all of who have four No. 1 album debuts. Death Magnetic is Metallica's fifth consecutive studio album to debut at No. 1, following 1991′s Metallica (known as The Black Album), 1996′s Load, 1997′s ReLoad, and 2003′s St. Anger. Death Magnetic also scored big around the world with No. 1 debuts in such diverse countries as Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Holland, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, and Turkey (which doesn't have an official chart but the album was No. 1 on every retail chart). More No. 1 rankings are expected this weekend as remaining charts roll in.
Released by Warner Bros. Records in the United States and Canada and by Universal Music for the rest of the world, on Friday, September 12th, Death Magnetic debuted at No. 1 despite being in stores for only three days, rather than the traditional seven. In addition to its heavy sales at large-chain stores and digital retailers, Death Magnetic also did blockbuster business among independent retailers, such as the Boston-based Newbury Comics, the Phoenix-based Zia, and Maine's Bull Moose, selling more copies in its first day than many of this year's top releases did in one week, proving that Metallica is connecting with its fans wherever they may shop.
Months before Death Magnetic hit stores, Metallica and Warner Bros. Records launched a new website, www.missionmetallica.com, which offered users a unique, ground-breaking look-in on the making of the album with producer Rick Rubin via a treasure trove of exclusive content, including the low-down from the band members themselves about their progress in the studio via fly-on-the-wall video footage, audio of riffs and excerpts of new songs, and exclusive new and never-before-seen archival photos from the studio. In total, Metallica posted 350 minutes of exclusive footage that reached nearly 10 million people across 161 countries. They also streamed Death Magnetic for fan club and Mission Metallica members the day before its release, allowing hardcore fans to hear the album before anyone else and creating a frenzy of positive word-of-mouth among Metallica's fan community. The album also streamed on metallica.com and metclub.com. Fan club and Mission Metallica members also got first crack at purchasing tickets for the band's North American tour, fueling even more excitement for the upcoming album.
In addition, Metallica interacted directly with fans who posted clips of themselves performing Metallica songs on YouTube. Drummer Lars Ulrich viewed fan-generated clips and posted a video that personally expressed his appreciation. Ulrich's clip, which was posted on September 4th, has already been viewed 1.2 million times.
Metallica also set a record for having the most radio stations in history sign up for an exclusive FMQB broadcast of "The World Premiere of Death Magnetic." The program, hosted by Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins and featuring all four members of Metallica, was heard on more than 175 stations across the U.S. and Canada. The first single from the album, "The Day That Never Comes," is currently hovering around the top of both Mediabase Mainstream and Active Rock Charts. Seven more tracks from Death Magnetic have charted across three radio formats, Alternative, Active Rock, and Rock — a feat rarely, if ever accomplished by a rock band/artist.
Reviews have praised Death Magnetic for its "compositions that are nasty and complex" (New York Times), while Time magazine says that the "songs fly by with the force of the world's angriest amusement-park ride, and when they set you down, often after seven or eight dizzying but tuneful minutes, giddiness is the only appropriate response." British metal bible Kerrang! wrote that "Metallica once again sound like one of the most exciting bands in the world" and have "managed to harness their talent and instinct into a modern metal album that makes a mockery of the modern competition."
Tickets for Metallica's first proper tour of the United States and Canada in four years are currently on sale. The first leg of the tour begins on October 21st and will cross North America through fall and early winter before concluding on January 21st. Support bands are Down, The Sword, Lamb of God, and Machine Head.
Formed in Los Angeles in 1981 by drummer Lars Ulrich and guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield, Metallica has become one of the most influential and commercially successful rock bands in history, having sold 100 million albums worldwide and playing to millions of fans the world over. They have garnered numerous awards and accolades, including seven Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, and multiple MTV Video Music Awards. www.metallica.com www.metclub.com www.missionmetallica.com

With its themes of a beautiful princess, a dashing prince, and love triumphing over powerful magic, "Sleeping Beauty" remains one of the most beloved of all fairy tales. The story was first published by Charles Perrault in 1697. Perrault's vision of the ageless, enchanted princess slumbering in her vine-encrusted tower has fascinated readers and artists for more 300 years-three times as long as the heroine slept.
This heavily-illustrated book will trace the history of that fascination, which has manifested itself in literature, fine art, poetry, music, and film. The most celebrated cinematic version of Sleeping Beauty is Walt Disney's, the glorious finale of the animated fairy tales he began in 1937 with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Although Briar Rose/Aurora was the most beautiful and beautifully animated of the Disney princesses, the film was dominated by Maleficent: Perrault's shriveled old fairy was transformed into the epitome of the lovely but terrible sorceress of fantasy literature.
The book will conclude with the development and creation of Maleficent, including interviews with Angelina Jolie, Imelda Staunton, Linda Woolverton, Sean Bailey, Joe Roth, Don Hahn, and director Robert Stromberg (Oscar-winning art director of Avatar and Alice in Wonderland); behind-the-scenes details and photography; costumes, props, and makeup; and plenty of movie magic!

Andy and Nancy at Circa Ceramics in Chicago are some of the most genuine people, and of course, they are Etsy sellers. From my experience with Etsy, I've only dealt with wonderful sellers, which further lures me in to search for more fabulous people to shop from. Between Flickr and Etsy, and all those blogs over there on my blogroll, I could pretty much burn an entire day online. Relate?

Hmmm… What's behind our fear of patterned sofas, I wonder? Or do I stand alone on this one, and you love patterned sofas?
The contemporary glass of the talented Caleb Simeon is undeniably gorgeous. After obtaining his BFA in glass blowing, and spending several years in Venice where he apprenticed with master glass sculptor Pino Signoretto, Caleb returned to California to create his own Italian-inspired glass to share with the world.

NSCB reports faster rise in annual workers' pay
popular .
The annual growth of workers' average pay in major industries was faster at 4.9 percent year-on-year in the third quarter of 2012 as growth in total compensation and gross revenue outpaced that of employment.
The National Statistical Coordination Board said in a report that the increase in the average pay from July to September was stronger than the 3.5 percent growth observed in the same period of 2011.
However, the third quarter growth in per capita compensation was slower than the 5.9 percent registered in the preceding quarter.
Based on the NSCB's latest Quarterly Economic Indices report, the transportation and communication sector registered the highest growth in terms of average compensation at 8.5 percent year-on-year.
On the other hand, average pay in the finance sector continued its double-digit drop at 10.1 percent.
The NSCB's QEI report is used as basis on deciding how much wages should be, as well as for economic forecasting and growth projections.
Apart from the two sectors mentioned, the QEI also covers real estate, manufacturing, electricity and water, trade, private services, mining and quarrying.
The growth in the total compensation per employee index improved along with the total gross revenue index, which revved up by 8.7 percent in the third quarter from 7.5 percent in the same quarter of 2011.
The real estate sector continued to show faster revenue growth, posting 20.1 percent. Finance and trade also showed double-digit revenue growth at 11.8 percent and 10.2 percent, respectively.
Further, growth of the total employment index was faster at 2 percent from 0.5 percent in the same quarter the previous year.
Mining and quarrying surged by 15.2 percent, turning around from the previous year's decline of 19.9 percent. All other sectors also showed positive numbers.
Moreover, growth of the total compensation index rose to 7.1 percent from the 4.1 percent registered in 2011.
Private services performed best in terms of compensation as it doubled its growth rate to 15.5 percent.
In terms of compensation, only finance and manufacturing showed negative numbers at -8.8 percent and -0.4 percent, respectively.

A vulnerability assessment tool that is operative to analyze web sites by simultaneously operating a crawling process and an audit process. Once the crawling process is invoked, the results are provided to the audit process. The audit process, rather than waiting until the crawl process is completed, simultaneously audits the web site based on the already provided crawl results. The results of the audit are also fed back to the crawl process to further enhance the crawl.
1. A method for performing a vulnerability assessment of a target object, the method comprising the steps of:
identifying a target object to assess;
initiating a crawling process on the identified object;

initiating an audit process while the crawling process is still in operation and additional results of the crawling process are being stored into the memory storage device;
extracting one or more stored results of the crawling process from the memory storage device and providing them to the audit process;
storing the results of the audit process into the memory storage device;
extracting the stored results of the audit process from the memory storage device and providing them to the crawling process, while the crawling process is still in operation, for further crawling; and

This application for a United States Patent is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application entitled SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TESTING WEB APPLICATIONS WITH RECURSIVE DISCOVERY AND ANALYSIS filed on Feb. 11, 2005 and assigned Ser. No. 11/056,928, which claims the benefit of the filing date of United States Provisional Application for Patent that was filed on Feb. 11, 2004 with the title of "SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TESTING WEB APPLICATIONS WITH RECURSIVE DISCOVERY AND ANALYSIS" and assigned Ser. No. 60/543,626.
The present invention relates to the field of web server vulnerability assessments and, more specifically, to an integrated crawl and auditing process for web servers and web applications.
In the world of high-tech, electronics and computer systems, as well as almost every consumer electronics device, the key marketing thrust is "make it smaller". Thus, the electronic products available to use are constantly shrinking in size. However, there are two aspects of the high-tech industry that are not only refusing to shrink, but indeed are actually growing at quite a rapid rate. These two aspects include memory capacities and software program and/or data. Fortunately, the physical sizes of memory devices are shrinking. It would be quite a daunting sight to see a 600 Gigabyte drive 15 years ago.
And what is all this memory being used for? A good portion of it is being consumed by increasingly sophisticated and complex web sights. The typical 1-2 Megabyte, limited page web site is being replace by huge, intricate and detailed web sites full of web applications, data stores, information and the like.
Unfortunately, the free exchange of information, so easily facilitated by personal computers over the Internet, has spawned a variety of risks for the organizations that host that information. This threat is most prevalent in interactive applications hosted on the World Wide Web and accessible by almost any personal computer located anywhere in the world. Web applications can take many forms: an informational Web site, an intranet, an extranet, an e-commerce Web site, an exchange, a search engine, a transaction engine, or an e-business. These applications are typically linked to computer systems that contain weaknesses that can pose risks to a company. Weaknesses can exist in system architecture, system configuration, application design, implementation configuration, and operations. The risks include the possibility of incorrect calculations, damaged hardware and software, data accessed by unauthorized users, data theft or loss, misuse of the system, and disrupted business operations.
As the digital enterprise embraces the benefits of e-business, the use of Web-based technology will continue to grow. Corporations today use the Web as a way to manage their customer relationships, enhance their supply chain operations, expand into new markets, and deploy new products and services to customers and employees. However, successfully implementing the powerful benefits of Web-based technologies can be greatly impeded without a consistent approach to Web application security.
It may surprise industry outsiders to learn that hackers routinely attack almost every commercial Web site, from large consumer e-commerce sites and portals to government agencies such as NASA and the CIA. In the past, the majority of security breaches occurred at the network layer of corporate systems. Today, however, hackers are manipulating Web applications inside the corporate firewall, enabling them to access and sabotage corporate and customer data. Given even a tiny hole in a company's Web-application code, an experienced intruder armed with only a Web browser (and a little determination) can break into most commercial Web sites.
The problem is much greater than industry watchdogs realize. Many U.S. businesses do not even monitor online activities at the Web application level. This lack of security permits even attempted attacks to go unnoticed. It puts the company in a reactive security posture, in which nothing gets fixed until after the situation occurs. Reactive security could mean sacrificing sensitive data as a catalyst for policy change.
A new level of security breach has begun to occur through continuously open Internet ports (port 80 for general Web traffic and port 443 for encrypted traffic). Because these ports are open to all incoming Internet traffic from the outside, they are gateways through which hackers can access secure files and proprietary corporate and customer data. While rogue hackers make the news, there exists a much more likely threat in the form of online theft, terrorism, and espionage.
Today the hackers are one step ahead of the enterprise. While corporations rush to develop their security policies and implement even a basic security foundation, the professional hacker continues to find new ways to attack. Most hackers are using "out-of-the-box" security holes to gain escalated privileges or execute commands on a company's server. Simple misconfigurations of off-the-shelf Web applications leave gaping security vulnerabilities in an unsuspecting company's Web site.
Passwords, SSL and data-encryption, firewalls, and standard scanning programs may not be enough. Passwords can be cracked. Most encryption protects only data transmission; however, the majority of Web application data is stored in a readable form. Firewalls have openings. Scanning programs generally check networks for known vulnerabilities on standard servers and applications, not proprietary applications and custom Web pages and scripts.
Programmers typically don't develop Web applications with security in mind. What's more, most companies continue to outsource the majority of their Web site or Web application development using third-party development resources. Whether these development groups are individuals or consultancies, the fact is that most programmers are focused on the "feature and function" side of the development plan and assume that security is embedded into the coding practices. However, these third-party development resources typically do not have even core security expertise. They also have certain objectives, such as rapid development schedules, that do not lend themselves to the security scrutiny required to implement a "safe solution."
Manipulating a Web application is simple. It is often relatively easy for a hacker to find and change hidden fields that indicate a product price. Using a similar technique, a hacker can also change the parameters of a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) script to search for a password file instead of a product price. If some components of a Web application are not integrated and configured correctly, such as search functionality, the site could be subject to buffer-overflow attacks that could grant a hacker access to administrative pages. Today's Web-application coding practices largely ignore some of the most basic security measures required to keep a company and its data safe from unauthorized access.
Developers and security professionals must be able to detect holes in both standard and proprietary applications. They can then evaluate the severity of the security holes and propose prioritized solutions, enabling an organization to protect existing applications and implement new software quickly. A typical process involves evaluating all applications on Web-connected devices, examining each line of application logic for existing and potential security vulnerabilities.
A Web application attack typically involves five phases: port scans for default pages, information gathering about server type and application logic, systematic testing of application functions, planning the attack, and launching the attack. The results of the attack could be lost data, content manipulation, or even theft and loss of customers.
A hacker can employ numerous techniques to exploit a Web application. Some examples include parameter manipulation, forced parameters, cookie tampering, common file queries, use of known exploits, directory enumeration, Web server testing, link traversal, path truncation, session hijacking, hidden Web paths, Java applet reverse engineering, backup checking, extension checking, parameter passing, cross-site scripting, and SQL injection.
Assessment tools provide a detailed analysis of Web application and site vulnerabilities.
The assessment tool uses software agents 130 to conduct the vulnerability assessment. The software agents 130 are composed of sophisticated sets of heuristics that enable the tool to apply intelligent application-level vulnerability checks and to accurately identify security issues while minimizing false positives. The tool begins the crawl phase of the application using software agents to dynamically catalog all areas. As these agents complete their assessment, findings are reported back to the main security engine through assessment database 140 so that the results can be analyzed. The tool then enters an audit phase by launching other software agents that evaluate the gathered information and apply attack algorithms to determine the presence and severity of vulnerabilities. The tool then correlates the results and presents them in an easy to understand format to the reporting interface 150.
However, Web sites that extend beyond the rudimentary level of complexity that simply includes HTML to be rendered by a browser, can include a variety of sophisticated elements such as JAVA code, applets, Web applications, etc. The traditional approach of crawling through the HTML of a Web site is limited in the amount of information that can be obtained and analyzed. For instance, a Web site may include a PDF file that includes, within the text of the PDF file, additional links. The traditional Web crawler technology may obtain the link to the PDF file during the crawling phase of the attack, but the links embedded within the PDF file would be ignored during the second phase of the attack.
Once the crawling phase is completed, the auditing phase commences. During the auditing phase, the auditor 220 is configured 205 based on data stored in database 230 during the crawling phase. The auditor 220 then makes attack requests 206 against the web server 200. Each attack request results in obtaining a response 207 which is then stored into the database 230. Thus, the auditing phase consists of one or more trips through the process identified as Loop 2 which consists of one or more sessions, where each session includes an attack request 206 followed by a response 207 and further configuration 205 as necessary.
As described in the parent application, the crawling process can be quite intensive and if a recursive crawl is implemented, the amount of data accumulated during the discovery and response sessions can be quite large. In addition, with the complexity of modern-day web sites, the crawling process can take a considerable amount of time. Thus, with a two-phased approach, a user may have to wait on the order of hours, or even days before he can start to see results from the auditing process. In addition, for larger web sites, there is a risk of data overflow as the crawler generates excessive amounts of data.
Thus, there is a need in the art for a solution that can provide a more efficient and expedient mechanism to perform a vulnerability assessment and to obtain auditing results during a vulnerability assessment.
In general, the present invention includes a system and method for conducting a vulnerability assessment of a target object, such as a web site, a web application or the like. More specifically, an embodiment of the present invention performs a vulnerability assessment of a target object by first identifying or receiving the identity of the target object (i.e., a URL). Once the target is identified, a crawling process, either from scratch or pre-loaded, is initialized to start a crawl of the target object. The results from the crawl, as well as any preloaded information, are placed into a memory device that is accessible by an audit process. The audit process is initiated while the crawling process is still in operation. The audit process extracts the stored results of the crawling process from the memory storage device and begins the audit using this information. As audit results are obtained, the results can be stored into the memory device and then provided to a user interface for review. Advantageously, the present invention allows for the audit process to obtain auditing results that can then be provided to a user in an expedient manner (i.e., before the entire crawl is completed). In addition, the audit results may also be fed into the crawling process. Because the audit process can uncover additional structure information about a target object, the simultaneous operation of the crawl and audit processes advantageously enables the crawl to be more thorough.
In another embodiment, the processing power allocated between the crawling process and the auditing process can be regulated to further optimize the provision of results of the vulnerability assessment. For instance, the crawl results can be stored in a queue in the memory device. Once the size of the queue reaches a threshold value, the audit process can begin. If the queue reaches a second threshold value, the processing power allocated to the crawling process can be reduced relative to the auditing process. If the queue drops below a minimum value, the processing power of the audit process can be reduced relative to the crawling process. Advantageously, this aspect of the present invention allows for the optimum performance of the vulnerability assessment.
The present invention is directed towards an integrated crawl and audit vulnerability assessment that advantageously provides vulnerability feedback early in the process even while the crawling process is being executed. In general, the present invention operates by integrating the crawling process and the auditing process in such a manner that they can run simultaneously. Using technology, such as multi-threading, the auditing process can run simultaneous or concurrently with the crawling process and provide vulnerability assessment feedback early during the process. Advantageously, this aspect of the present invention can enable a vulnerability assessment to be terminated early in the process if a severe vulnerability is detected. This allows the vulnerability to be fixed and then reinitiating of the vulnerability assessment without having to spend the vast amount of time to complete the entire crawl, only to discover that a severe vulnerability is present that must be fixed prior to running another vulnerability assessment.
Now turning to the figures in which like labels represent like elements through out the diagrams, various embodiments, aspects and features of the present invention are further described.
The crawler process 310 begins a loop 340 that consists of one or more sessions with each session including a discovery request from which it obtains a response. The results are stored into the database 330 and can also be fed back into the crawler process 310 to further define the future operations of the crawl. The auditor process 320 pulls the data accumulated in the database 330 from the crawler process 310 as soon as it is detected and conducts a loop 350 that consists of one or more sessions with each session including an attack request from which it obtains a response. Thus, the present invention operates to provide audit results while the crawler process 310 is still conducting a crawl on the target. The responses received through the auditor process 320 are stored into the database 330 and as such, can be examined by the crawler process 310. Thus, the present invention enables the auditor process 320 to actually effect and augment the crawler process 3 10. Advantageously, this aspect of the present invention enables the typical crawler process, which is normally a benign or static process, to be a dynamic process. It should be appreciated that loop 340 and loop 350 are simultaneously performed in this embodiment.
Another aspect of the present invention is to implement a bounded queue on the crawler process 410, the auditor process 420 or both. The bounded queue is used to prevent data over-runs and to more efficiently allocate the processing power. For instance, if a bounded queue is implemented for the crawler process 410, once the queue reaches a threshold number of entries, processing power can be allocated from the crawler process 410 to the auditor process 420. Advantageously, this aspect of the present invention can operate to prevent data over-runs in the database as well as to more quickly provide audit results to the user. As another example, if a bounded queue is implemented for the auditor process 420, once the queue decreases to a threshold minimum number of entries, processing power can be allocated from the auditor process 420 to the crawler process 410 to ensure that the auditor process 420 is not sitting around in an idle state, wasting processing power, waiting for additional crawler process 410 additions to the database.
Now that the general operation of various aspects of the present invention have been presented, an exemplary embodiment and variations thereof are presented to show a suitable environment for implementing one or more of these various aspects of the present invention. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the embodiment operates as a stand-alone windows user interface application that performs web server vulnerability assessment. This embodiment of the present invention overcomes and/or alleviates problems associated with prior art vulnerability assessment tools that were designed to operate in a monolithic fashion where the database, the user interface and the assessment code were all rolled into a single executable file. Such prior art systems were limited by the fact that only a single instance of the program can be running at a given time.
One aspect of this embodiment of the present invention is that it conforms to a classic three-tier design incorporating a user interface layer, an engine layer and a data provider layer. By completely separating the user interface code from the assessment engine (the component framework that does the crawling/auditing) multiple engines can be running on a single platform.
As an example of one embodiment of the present invention, the exemplary implementations of the various components are briefly described along with further detail of the operation of the embodiment.
The user interface component may include the following various interfaces. For instance, the user interface may include a start page for initiating primary tasks such as starting a new scan, generating a report on a completed scan, scheduling a scan, starting a web discovery (find web servers on the network), and opening a recent scan from a list. The user interface may also include a toolbar to expose common commands and/or a hierarchical menu bar to expose common commands. The user interface may also provide a session tree view that can show all crawled and audited URLs and provide context menu on selected nodes in the tree, show summary information about comments, cookies, scripts, client certificates, broken links, and offsite links. The user interface may also provide a sequence view that shows all crawled and audited URLs in the order the requests were made. In addition, the user interface may provide a session details view that shows the following information that pertains to the selected session in the session tree view: vulnerability information, browser view, HTTP request and response raw data, URL links on the page, and form data on the page. The user interface may include: an alerts view that shows all vulnerabilities found during the scan; an Info view that shows miscellaneous details pertaining to the server being scanned, a scan log view that shows scan engine execution details with time stamps, a 'Best Practices' view, a dashboard view that shows scan engine performance metrics in graphical form, settings editing controls to allow for detailed engine and scan configuration, and a tools menu that allows the user to launch external tools useful during assessment of a web server. The user interface may also allow the user to subscribe to a scan engine(s) and provide F1-activated help for common tasks.
The scan engine in the exemplary embodiment may provide command and control APIs for: starting/stopping/pausing scans, applying settings, retrieving performance data and retrieving scan data. The scan engine may also provide events to subscribers (client components) to inform them about: crawled URLs, vulnerabilities discovered, logins, logouts detected, file not found conditions, and scan completions. Several other capabilities may be found in the exemplary scan engine including, but not limited to, discovering and loading audit engine plugins and data provider plugins, defining external interfaces for use by data provider plugins and defining external signatures for use by subscribers.
The data provider in the exemplary embodiment may implement the data provider interface defined by the scan engine and create/read/update/delete scan data from a specific third party data store.
The exemplary embodiment can support several usage patterns. One such usage pattern is command line invocation. There are two modes of activating a scan via command line. In the first mode, the user types a line at the prompt and the scan runs unattended until completion. This scenario provides no opportunity for interaction and the user must view a report (if it was generated by the scan) or summary text at the prompt. The second mode is enabled by passing a specific command line switch which puts the user in 'command mode'. In this mode, the user can issue individual commands and will be notified in real time when interesting events occur (such as vulnerabilities being discovered). This scenario makes use of a separate executable program (not the user interface executable program) which instantiates the scan engine and configures it with settings specified in an external file.
Another usage pattern is a fully automated scan. Fully automated scans are setup and run in the user interface but left unattended until completion. Any form inputs required by pages being audited are provided by a preconfigured file. The user is free to pause and resume the scan but if left alone, the scan will complete without further user intervention.
Another usage pattern is the user interface fully interactive. Interactive scans run just like automated scans except that when the engine discovers a form that requires inputs it pauses and pops up the necessary user interface to collect the input data. After the data is input, the scan returns to automated mode until further input is required or the scan ends.
Another usage pattern is the user interface manual (step) mode. Step mode means that the user is solely responsible for navigating the site using a browser. The visited URLs are captured and audited automatically, but the complete crawl feature of automated scans is missing.
Another usage pattern is the automated scan with intermittent user interaction. A common scenario is for a user to run an automated scan but to watch the user interface as sessions are added to the site tree. In this case, the user may notice something of particular interest (a specific vulnerability found on a page for example) and choose to crawl and audit the site from that URL (crawl the URL and its children). In this case, the engine is sensitive to the user interface initiated crawl and suspends all automated crawling except that which resulted from the user selecting a URL and choosing crawl. When this operation completes, the scan engine resumes normal automated scanning.
Another usage pattern is scheduled scanning. The windows scheduler can be configured to start scans at pre-selected times. The scheduler simply invokes the command line utility to start the scan. The user interface executable program will provide scheduling screens that result in proper configuration of the windows scheduler service.
Finally, a remote invocation by AMP usage pattern may be included. The scan engine can be instantiated by an AMP sensor and used to control a scan. Alternatively, a 'listener' service that is installed with system can create an instance (in non-interactive mode) and configure it to take commands from AMP.
The exemplary embodiment of the present invention can perform vulnerability assessment on web servers by crawling and auditing in an integrated fashion. The scan engine can be instantiated and controlled by any .NET client code including (but not limited to): the user interface, the command tool line of the user interface, AMP sensors, visual studio add-in packages and QA product add-in modules.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that crawling is the act of making HTTP requests, parsing the responses for additional URL links and recursively crawling those links as well. This process is automated and continues until all links have been requested. The crawler process in the present invention is a reusable .NET assembly that makes use of multi-threading and concurrent IO (multiple outstanding web requests). Crawling speed is an important aspect of any vulnerability assessment tool and the present invention operates to provide a scalable crawling architecture. Scalable crawling involves multiple crawlers (perhaps on multiple machines) conducting a coordinated navigation of an entire site under the control of a single crawl manager. Although the present invention is primarily described as only supporting a single crawler and crawl manager, it is anticipated that the present invention can also be incorporated into a distributed crawling environment or utilize multiple crawling processes.
Parsing links from responses is an important part of crawling. The present invention introduces several novel link parsers to maximize the number of links that crawls can find and supports proper multi-language (character set) decoding.
Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that auditing includes the process of programmatically examining HTTP request/response pairs—called sessions—and then sending additional HTTP requests for the purpose of attacking a web server. Successful attacks can result in vulnerability information that causes further auditing (more refined attacks) and/or further crawling (following new links found by the audits). Audit types are numerous and varied and more methodologies are discovered as time goes by, therefore, embodiments of the present invention include the ability for plugin audit engines. This aspect of the present invention allows incorporation of .Net assemblies that contain code designed to attack a web server in a very specific way (configurable by policies). These assemblies are discovered at runtime and the set of audit types can be extended via smart update. Smart update is an aspect of the present invention that enables the scan engine to understand plugin binaries and the versioning issues associated with them. Auditing is time consuming and large sites can demand distributed audits to efficiently perform the audit process. The various aspects of the present invention can be incorporated into and anticipate the use of distributed audits. In such an embodiment, a single audit manager coordinates the efforts of multiple auditor processes (perhaps on different machines). A single auditor discovers the set of policy-selected audit engines to use for attacking the web server. Although the present invention is primarily described as using a single auditor process and audit manager, multiple and/or distributed auditor processes are also anticipated.
The scanner 505 is the entry point for clients to utilize or access the capabilities of the other engine components and is responsible for controlling all scans initiated by the client. Clients instantiate a scanner object, and interact with the scanner object 505 to manage the runtime behavior of the scan, such as starting, stopping, pausing, and resuming. The scanner object 505 can be created (empty) by a scanner, or hydrated from the database to access the session data in an existing scan.
The scanner object 505 will be initially configured with settings provided by a settings object passed in by the calling routine when the scanner is created. A scanner object 505 being created for a scan being restored (to be resumed by the user) will get its settings object from the scan framework. Clients can use the scanner object 505 to subscribe to events. Clients can also query for scan status.
The scanner object 505 may be able to manage a scan operating with the auditor and crawler components in either sequential or concurrent mode. Sequential operation includes a distinct crawl and audit phase. Concurrent operation starts a crawl using the crawl manager 510 but begins auditing as soon as sessions become available. The scanner 505 dispatches crawled sessions to the audit manager 520 for auditing.
The scanner 505 can be configured to allow the client to start, stop, save, restore and resume scans. The scan data and settings are persisted via the scan framework. In one embodiment the scanner 505 makes no distinction between HTTP requests that are web service method invocations and requests that are for normal web browsing of html (or asp, flash, etc) pages during the crawl but does make such distinctions during the audit process. Requests can happen as part of crawl or audit and vulnerable sessions are treated the same way by the engine.
The crawl manager 510 is responsible for starting and stopping crawls on individual crawler object instances. Embodiments of the present invention may support only a single crawler instance per crawl Manager, which must be local and in-process. Other embodiments may support multiple (possibly remote), crawlers per crawl manager. Advantageously, the distribution of cooperating crawlers spanning multiple machines may speed up crawling of large sites. Crawler events are collected and aggregated by the crawl manager 510 and raised to the scanner object.
The crawler 515 is the module that recursively crawls web sites and web services. As a request is made to the crawler 515 to crawl a URL, the URL is checked for validity and redundancy, and is then sent to a stateful request manager. The response obtained from the stateful request manager is parsed by a parser and any links obtained are then sent as additional crawl requests. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention supports four crawl modes: fully automatic, manual (step mode), page, and interactive. Interactive crawl will behave similarly to automatic crawl until a form is detected. At this point, the crawler will create a list of form values to be filled in, fire a "FormValuesRequired" event, and wait until a listener (normally the UI layer) returns the desired form values. The crawl will then continue in automatic mode.
The Audit Manager 520 relays audit requests to (and audit responses from) an auditor object instance 525. Embodiments of the present invention may support only a single auditor instance per audit manager which must be a local and in-process. Other embodiments may support multiple (possibly remote) auditors per audit manager. This aspect of the present invention advantageously allows an audit manager to manage a distributed set of auditors which are all attacking the same site.
The operation of an exemplary audit manager 520 runs groups of sessions against a single audit engine (i.e. Engine1->Session1, Engine1->Session2, Engine1->Session3, etc) and groups of engines will run against a single session (i.e. Engine1->Session1, Engine2->Session1, Engine3->Session1). Advantageously, this aspect of the present invention allows the distributed audit as described above, as well as allowing audits to run concurrently with the crawl, instead of having to wait for the crawl to finish before the audit phase begins. This methodology will allow a user to re-audit a single session without having to audit the entire scan. Certain audit engines may require all the sessions from the crawl. Such audit engines cannot be started until all crawling at that recursion level is complete.
An auditor 525 relays audit requests to (and audit responses from) audit engines 530. Thus, for an audit engine that is implemented as "plug-in" assembly, the main function of an auditor is to enumerate and instantiate policy-specified plugin assemblies, and then to act as a pass-through between those audit engines 530 and the audit manager 520. More specifically, the audit manager 520 does not make specific requests to audit engines 530 in this embodiment. Rather, the audit manager 520 makes requests to the auditor 525 which then passes the requests to each appropriate audit engine 530 in turn.
Because some audit engines detect attack signatures in responses other than the attack response (i.e. cross site scripting) it is necessary to reissue requests that occurred before such an attack was made. During a verify phase, all previously completed requests, which may have a response containing attack signatures (i.e. crawl requests), are re-requested and the resulting responses are passed to the audit engines.
The audit engines 530 may comprise a variety of engines and attack techniques. For instance, the audit engines 530 may include session audit engines which generate attacks from sessions. Vulnerability is detected in the response to the attack session. The audit engines 530 may also include server audit engines that generate attacks from servers and logic audit engines that generate attacks when a particular check is detected. In addition, the audit engines 530 may include indirect audit engines. Indirect audit engines, similar to session audit engines generate attacks from session; however vulnerabilities can be detected in responses of sessions other than simply the attack session.
It will be appreciated that the above described methods and embodiments may be varied in many ways, including, changing the order of steps, and the exact implementation used. The present invention has been described using detailed descriptions of embodiments thereof that are provided by way of example and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The described embodiments comprise different features and aspects, not all of which are required in all embodiments of the invention. Some embodiments of the present invention utilize only some of the features or aspects or possible combinations of thereof. Variations of embodiments of the present invention that are described and embodiments of the present invention comprising different combinations of features noted in the described embodiments will occur to persons of the art.

All the best Jonni
This home is in a great location very close to Disney. My family with 3 kids had really a lot of space (each of the kids having their own bedroom). All amenities are as described and promised.
A big plus for us was also the games room in the garage, which my kids really enjoyed.
Each room also had a TV, which was nice too.
Can only highly recommend for a family.
Best regards, Kurt
We stayed here for our Disney vacation and are very glad we choose it over a Disney resort. We had two families so it was great to be able to relax at the house while the kids played in the pool rather than one of us sitting in the the hot sun to watch them play at a resort. For breakfast and dinner we either cooked at the house or ate a one of the many restaurants in the area. We never waited for a table during the week but on the weekends I would recommend cooking or making reservations.
There were 4 adults and two children (under 10) and this house was great. If we make a trip back anytime soon I will be staying here again.
Location: 5-10 minutes from Disney depending on which park you are going to. To avoid traffic at Formosa and 192 we took Livingston to Old Lake Wilson. From Lake Wilson at 192 you can take a right to get to World Drive, or a left to Sherberth Rd.
Cleanliness: Overall the house was very clean. We saw several sugar ants but never really had a problem with them. Having the washer and dryer also came in handy. We used it more than we anticipated.
Pool: The pool and spa were clean, as pictured and got plenty of use. If you pay for spa heat make sure you leave the switch next to the light switch on or you will have to wait several hours for it to heat up again. There were no instructions left on the heater operation but after a call to the management company we learn how it operated and had no further problems.
Amenities: We had plenty of towels, pillows, sheets and cooking utensils. The only complaint we had is that there was only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom. It wasn't a big expense, just inconvenient. Also Plan on buying paper towels, detergent for dishwasher and washing machine, and soap for kitchen sink. We never had a problem with water pressure or hot water.
Beds: I usually do not sleep well when away from home but the king bed was very comfortable. I was doubtful at first because it was very plush on top and I prefer firm beds. However, I slept well and never woke up with a back ache.
Game Room: Between Disney and the pool we did not use the game room much but the pictures accurately portray it. Just know that it is not air conditioned.
Very close to stores, restaurants, theme parks. The inside is very clean and up to date. Kid friendly.
The home was very comfortable, and exceptionally well kept and clean. All amenities needed were there, and it is located very close to the Disney World Parks. Depending on the park, it took between 7 and 14 minutes to go and return each way. One note for out of state guests however. Do not park your car in the driveway with even an inch protruding over the sidewalk. I received a County ticket for $50.00. That evidently is state or county law.
We plan to rent this home again, and the management team is great also.
Other Activities: Boating, Basketball Court, Hot Air Ballooning, Shopping, Miniature Golf

Bizzy Bone ft. Pitbull - That's How
Artist: Bizzy Bone
Featuring: Pitbull
Producer: Cricet
Album: Ruthless
Avg Rating: 2.3 ( 27 votes )
Before Bizzy Bone releases his second major-label solo album, A Song For You, on April 22, the former Bone Thug will drop his twentieth (no, that isn't a misprint) independent effort. Known for releasing three or four underground albums a year, the Cleveland native knows what it takes to create a stand out track and has teamed up with Mr. 305 for a fast-paced banger that explains That's How they vibe. Adding style to their testimonies, producer Cricet contributes a 70's-jazz sounding sample that is sure to get any Midwest or Dirty South party started. Ruthless is in stores now, with A Song For You to follow April 22.

St. John's (Antigua), June 28: The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has released the schedule for Pakistan's tour of the Caribbean starting July 14.
The series will include five One Day Internationals and two Twenty20 Internationals.
Guyana will host the first two ODIs, followed by three ODIs at the Beausejour Cricket Grounds in St. Lucia.
The Arnos Vale Cricket Ground in St. Vincent will host the two Twenty20 Internationals July 27 and 28 to conclude the tour.
The series will also mark the return of international cricket to Guyana after a one year absence.
"This has been a bumper year for international cricket in the Caribbean. We have had a full series with West Indies and Zimbabwe and the Celkon Mobile Cup including India and Sri Lanka is about to commence," said WICB corporate communications officer Imran Khan Thursday.
"The seven match series involving Pakistan will give fans, especially cricket starved fans in Guyana, more international cricket action to rally behind the West Indies team."

Stockholm, Sweden
My Rating
Well organised efficiently run, excellent and longer coverage of the city than other hop on transport ,purchased in the Boltic from victor
The boat trip was spectacular too.
Tallinn, Estonia
My Rating
There was no need the purchase a tour as the main attraction was the world heritage city of
Tallinn was inaccessible by transport.
St. Petersburg, Russian Federation
My Rating
Thee guide and the driver were exceptional. The tour comprehensive.i would not use this company ag again because of the time keeping and transport.
The mini van coach had windows so low that an average height person could only see to pavement height.disasterous.
The company claims that they will not hold the van for more then 15 minutes. We were made to wait 55 minutes.pretty shabby. This then meant that the tour returned to the boat 55minuites late and the visit to the underground was scrapped from the program. 5 stars for the tour, 0/1 star for organisation and poor timing and transport.
Helsinki, Finland
My Rating
Chaotic ,the tour stared at the ferry terminal not the cruise ship terminal.making the trip unsuitable for cruise passengers .to take this tour with one fixed time meant a last minute dash by Taxi.l The town centre ,very easy to walk.
Copenhagen, Denmark
My Rating
Chaotic overcrowded buses with people having to stand on the central trip. Excellent coverage of the sites.

Everyone on the VC team is getting really excited about the upcoming PDC in Los Angeles. This will be our first chance to show you some of our upcoming features and a great way for us to get feedback direct from you on what we have implemented so far and what we have planned. PDCs are always one of our most exciting events to speak at, given the forward looking nature of the program (and, to be truthful, we learn as much about what other teams are planning as attendees do sometimes!) Just wanted to add a small reminder that VC will be presenting two sessions at the PDC and invite any of you who will be there to drop by and meet us. The two sessions are:
· Microsoft Visual C++: 10 Is the New 6, presented by Boris Jabes.
· Microsoft Visual Studio: Building Applications with MFC, presented by myself.
Also attending from VC will be Arjun Bijanki and Raman Sharma; all four of us will be delighted to meet you during the event, at one of the above sessions or look for us in the lounge too. Once we have our lounge sessions booked we will post the times here, if you would like to arrange to meet.
Hello xieqidong
> Can we read the manuscript of "Microsoft Visual C++: 10 is the new 6" after PDC?
You can see the recordings of all PDC sessions online, here are the links for our two talks:
Hello R.J
> What about C++0x (C++09)? Is there any chance that VC10 support C++09?
Please have a look at this posting for some details on our C++0x support:
>I would like to see a redesign of the .vcproj system to be more 'progammable' like makefiles, and less raw-data-ish.
With the release of Visual Studio 10 we are moving to a MSBuild based build system. MSBuild provides better diagnostics, extensibility.
Because of this move the project file will be more programmable and customers will be able to extend the build system and customize it according to their build requirements.
More on MSBuild:
