Digital steganography is an Internet era version of an information hiding technique that dates back to the days of Ancient Greece. Using digital steganography, a file can be embedded within, or appended to, another file in such a way that it cannot be seen or heard. Unlike cryptography, which translates information into an unintelligible sequence of letters and numbers, steganography conceals the very existence of the information.

The economic downturn has caused many insiders to become acutely aware of the value of the information they work with on a day-to-day basis. Information has become more valuable than money. Once spent, money is gone but information can be resold many times on the burgeoning black market for nearly any type of information.

One result of the economic downturn is that insider theft of sensitive information is increasing at an alarming pace. Insiders can use any of the 1,000+ steganography applications available on the Internet as freeware or shareware to steal personal identification information or intellectual property, for example. The current generation of network security appliances does not detect insider use of steganography.

StegAlyzerRTS detects insiders downloading any of the 768 digital steganography applications currently in the SARC’s archives. Detecting this type of insider activity is an early warning indicator the insider is planning to steal sensitive information.

The system also has the capability to detect insiders using selected steganography applications through a unique signature-based detection model.

StegAlyzerRTS is available for $14,995.00 from Backbone Security and participating business partners worldwide (international reseller pricing may vary).

In this 68 page inspirational book about starting over, in his own conversational approach, Steven shares his thoughts on getting up wherever you may find yourself in life’s journey.

According to the author, the smart thing about the book is that it doesn’t spend as much time talking about what past decisions or experiences placed you where you are today, but focuses through encouragement on now that you are there, what do you need to get up from where you are. It’s an easy to read book that anyone, at any level, can understand. In plain direct talk, the book’s aim is to show the reader that because life is moving, no situation has to be a permanent one.

The book is especially geared toward our loved ones who may feel that they are stuck in a rut with no way out, or our family and friends who may believe that the only choices they have are the ones within the environment in which they live. The book inspires the reader to look outside of their current circumstances and know that the wonderful experiences that others are having, could be just as much theirs, as it is those who are experiencing them.

And most important, the words on the pages reminds us of the law of attraction, and that even now, we all can find so much in and around our lives to be thankful for. That being thankful for what we already have, even if it’s small now, will draw more into our lives to be thankful for. It encourages us to stop focusing only our needs, and start sharing what we have with others. Even if our time is all we have to share, no one has to look far to find someone who really needs it.

In every chapter, the reader is reminded that the way to change their circumstances is to consciously change the way they think. Maybe the book is a simple reminder of the truth we already know, that we just need to hear again.

Newly released, the softcover is available on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and signed books are available on www.tlpub.com .

When asked “How do budget travelers book cheap flights during peak season?” Mr. Miller said, “The day and even the time you book could save you big cash. Always check airline tickets on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday overnight. Airlines will update their fares through what is called a Global Distribution System (GDS) during this time and that could make a big difference on your wallet in the end.” Mr. Miller also added “Another good tactic to add to your quest for low fares is to sign up for email fare alerts. You can provide the market you are interested in flying to, and emails can be sent to you on a regular basis to inform you when fares are increasing or decreasing.”

Regarding leisure travel, Miller explained, “Leisure travel has become affordable now more than ever before. Many luxury hotels and resorts are lowering rates due to the poor economy and airlines, while not as low as 2009 fares, have many more affordable deals right now than in recent history.”

Miller’s quick tips for booking cheap tickets include: “Always be flexible with your search, as it has been proven that people who can leave a day earlier or later wind up saving big bucks in the end. Going to an airline direct will limit what you see to just that airline. Searching across multiple airlines provides you the best opportunity to get the best fare available.”

He also added “If you’re looking to travel this year, but just do not have the time or funds, why not take a vacation closer to home. While the word ’staycation’ might turn some people off, you can actually make the most out of travel without going far away. Two ways to get a break from everyday life without going into major debt are to look for deals under $199 for a weekend getaway to a nearby state or stay at a hotel in your own city.”

People who have installed a dual boot system know it is not a difficult thing if you do know how to create a new partition for Windows 7. The Windows Disk Management utility that comes with the Windows operating systems can graphically display partitions but when it comes to management features, it is pretty limited.

Just as many famous IT editors have recommended, if you need more partitioning operations than the Windows native Disk Management provides, you should take a closer look at EASEUS Partition Master.

This utility offers all the standard and advanced features you’d want to have available in a disk partitioning tool, and it helps create a dual boot Windows 7 system with XP or Vista with a fairly basic procedure while keeping data intact:
1. Resize your current OS drive to free up enough space for a Windows 7 partition.
2. Create a new partition from the newly freed space.
3. Apply your changes.

And you can also learn more here about how to create a Windows XP and 7 dual-boot system staged for an easy migration (blogs.techrepublic.com.com/window-on-windows/?p=1728 ).

Pricing and Availability:

Web Special $159 (originally $199) for Windows Server users is available if you buy it from the EASEUS Web site at www.partition-tool.com/easeus-partition-manager-server/ .
