1 , pp Data Security Monitoring Platform in Cloud for Enterprise Geng Yushui and Pang Shunpeng School of Information, Qi Lu University of Technology Jinan250353, China Abstract Now most software systems in cloud platform use Multi - Tenancy architecture. A single software system serves for multiple client organization. All customers data will not be stored in only one node. So the system needs higher data security mechanism. This paper wants to build a data security monitoring model in cloud platform for large enterprises. The model can set the authentication, logging, fine-grained access control, dynamic data filtering strategy and data audit to realize the security protection for enterprises data. The model proposed by this paper uses multi-tenancy SaaS(Software as Service) application architecture, RBAC (Role-Based policies Access Control) model and operation in the context of environmental perception to realize the data access control. It using PMI framework to provide accession management services for enterprise users. Keywords: Cloud computing, Data security, RBAC, SaaS, PMI 1. Introduction With the depth and width of information construction progressing, information grow into index explosively in information system. Filtering of unwanted data, protecting enterprise existed data and only showing information concerned with the current scene are great necessity. Data safety monitoring is an effective way to meet the above requirements. Not only does it facilitate quick access to personalized information, but it is an important means to ensure the security of data. The technical requirements in the application of emerging SaaS (Software as Service) are more evident in the application. SaaS is a new model of software application adopting online rental service through the network. Due to its unique single-instance and multi-tenant properties, SaaS put forward higher requirements for date security. 2. Cloud Computing Cloud computing combines a large number of computing resources, storage resources and software resources together. With forms a huge shared virtual IT resource pool and it offers a variety of IT services for remote computer users. In the IT industry, Cloud computing is generally considered to be an important growth point since the Internet economic prosperity which has a huge growing prospect market. Nevertheless, there are still many companies choosing the traditional software architecture largely of the reasons is most likely that enterprise data security issues are unresolved in cloud computing. Some analysis of the survey results show that data security is one of the biggest obstacles to migrate enterprise applications to the cloud computing. At present, cloud computing security issues have been gotten more and more attention. From the bottom to the ISSN: IJSIA Copyright c 2013 SERSC
2 top security issues in the cloud computing environment can be summarized as physical security, network, storage, server security, data security, identity and access security. The paper is only concerned about the security of the application logic, namely the identity and access security, and data security. In a cloud computing environment, software application modes are based on the SaaS model. SaaS model is a single-instance and multi-user architecture. Mature SaaS application should have three characteristics that are extensibility,multi-user efficiency and configurability. Extensibility is referred, allowing for more function can be increased in the original design when necessary, or to obtain better performance on the basis of extending hardware conditions. Multi-user efficiency requires that SaaS architecture is not only able to maximize the sharing of resources between different users, but also can distinguish data belonging to different customers. Configurability means that in a single application instance serves multiple clients case, each user can configure the respective application appearance and behavior using the metadata [1]. In terms of the SaaS application model and application scenarios of the software in the cloud environment, based on basic authentication and authorization functions, the data security in the SaaS must also have highly configurability. According to the different size of the security strategy of resources, it can achieve precise control of data and operation. Based on the above discussion, the paper provides a monitoring model of enterprise data security in the cloud environment, implementing authentication, authorization, fine-grained access control, dynamic data filtering policies, data auditing and other functions, and the mode is applied in the mode of SaaS application. 3. Critical Idea and Technology 3.1. Principles that Need by the Research 1. The principle of openness. Platform system achieved in this project is the second development of software platforms. For enterprise developing SaaS application it requires that the interface must be provided with the outside world, to achieve organic integration with other applications. 2. The principle of structured, hierarchical, modular. Using the object-oriented technology, makes the system highly structured, modular, hierarchical. The whole system is defined by many modules which have good interfaces. Each module has a detailed functional description and design presentation. Each module completes relatively independent function. Interfaces between the modules defined regularly, which makes the changes of module features relative independent, not affecting the features and structure of the whole system and it is easily for the system s upgrade and maintenance. 3. Excellent portability. Selecting of server software system that supports a variety of operating platforms, such as database server, application server, WEB server. Choosing choice of middleware system is that is a development language with good portability developed and applied by B/S. These can improve the platform portability of the application systems Technical Directions 1. Choice of development tools. As Java inherent with cross-platform, safety, strong network function, enterprise s solution based on Java has become a fact of current standard. So the selection of development tools is Java. 68 Copyright c 2013 SERSC
3 The overall structural design of the software platform is built on the J2EE platform specification. Many enterprise solutions including the development, deployment and management of the complex issues can be simplified by using the Java 2 technology. It has incomparable advantages compared with the traditional model of Internet applications. 2. Database system selection. The selection of database system is that supports business application systems commonly used in large-scale relational database system MS SQL SERVER and ORACLE. 3. The SaaS overall architecture based on metadata configuration. The SaaS overall architecture based on metadata configuration is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. The SaaS Overall Architecture based on Metadata Configuration Thereinto Process Services give the Smart Client and network interface the supply layer can call and start the synchronization process, or start consuming more of the transaction, to call other Business Services, and throughout the data storage business to interact in order to read and write data. 4. The Basic Structure of the Data Safety Monitoring Model in Cloud Environment We want to build a large enterprise-level application, monitoring platform for data security in general. In the logic layer of the application, we are to legalize the implements software SaaS application modes of authentication, authorization, fine-grained permissions control, dynamic data filtering strategy, data auditing, and other functional requirements, which are applied to SaaS software system security control areas [9] Logical Structure General logical schema of data safety monitoring model is shown in Figure 2. Copyright c 2013 SERSC 69
4 Figure 2. Overall Logic Diagram of Enterprise Data Security Monitoring Platform in Cloud Environment The data safety monitoring platform is divided into four sub-systems which includes RBAC-based rights management system, Context-based policy management system, Data-filtering system and Data-auditing system. Enterprise data safety monitoring platform that based on RBAC model achieved Role-based access control. PMI (Privilege Management Infrastructure) build rights management services for enterprise-level users to achieve the functions as user authentication, authorization main management, authorization object management, and role-based authorization management [2, 7]. Above the RBAC permissions management system, context-based policy management system for data safety monitoring platform provide flexible and dynamic data filtering policy management and fine-grained data control functions. When users access data, the system captures and matches information of operating context in the current scene to realize further filtering and fine-grained control of user data. In order to generate the end-user data collection of operations, user-specified data set is influenced by permission set of rights management system based on RBAC and policy set of context-based policy management system Functional Structure The functional structure of the enterprise data safety monitoring platform in the cloud environment is shown in Figure 3. Main features are described below: 1. User authentication service. The platform uses the identity mapping database to legalize the user identity authentication service, It can correspond the user's local account to the account of the resources of the host, allow one-to-one, and (also) many-to-one, which increases the flexibility of the platform configuration. The administrator can correspond the users with same access requirements to the same account, provided that the minimum required permissions to the account permissions configured for this group of users. 2. Authority and Subject management. Authorized subject of the platform mainly includes user, role, organization, position, etc. It realized the management of the subject as well as the inheritance and transmission of the permission, by establishing a relationship between user and role, organization and position, Led platform to the tree structure of the organization, allows the user demand to add the authorization body as the basis for personnel management. It uses organization tree as a personnel management in a centralized manner, and supplied by post further positioning, which makes it easier to realize access control efficiently. 70 Copyright c 2013 SERSC
5 Figure 3. The Functional Structure of the Enterprise Data Safety Monitoring Platform in Cloud Environment 3. Authority and object management. Authorized object refers to all kinds of accessible resources. Platform provided a unified interface for the management and achieved the hierarchical management of the resources, and set up the concept of the resource type and resources set to support the centralized management and operation of multiple resources. Resource type and resources set to resources are many-to-many relationship. On that basis, the definition of the concept of resource operations is for the mutexes that may arise in the process of access to resources, dependence constraint management. 4. RBAC Authorization Management. The platform provides support for distributed RBAC model and on the basis of the original role, it extend the model. By defining the role of inheritance and inclusion relationship, it reduces duplicate management authorization and Improves performance issue of the RBAC model under mass access control environment. The platform defines inclusive, exclusive, inheritance, dependence, the compatibility constraint types for the role, and configures the corresponding set of constraint types at all levels to ensure independent role permissions to avoid permission conflicts from happening. 5. Context modeling. In the process of system designing modeling system perceives the context properties perceivable by the system are modeled, which are be called in the process of policy making process modeling context properties. Then the scene values for those properties delimit, to create an appropriate context judgment, as a basis for policy implementation, which can be regarded, so that for policy modules, based on user action scenes in the actual context of realization of dynamic data filtering [8]. 6. Policy formulation. In the policy making process, the system provides a policy template file for the user functioned as the policy rules. Filtering policy of the system is based on XACML syntax expansion, and is stored to the XML file. The filtering rules use the dynamic SQL form, in order to filter easily and efficiently filtering in the database side, so as to improve the performance of data filtering [5][7]. 7. Policy match. The process of policy match needs to match context value with the context found in the policy set one by one in order to filter out of the filter rules which can be applied in the current scene, and be placed in a filtered space of the current operation, so that the rules can be invoked in the data filter. 8. Data filtering. The system expresses the filtering rules in the form of dynamic SQL, in Copyright c 2013 SERSC 71
6 phase of filter rules implementation. In the user action scene, it dynamically generates SQL statements with the appropriate filter rules in the user's tacit data set, to filter data control implement dynamic data [3]. 9. Data audit. The goal of data audit system is to deploy audit for data needed to auditing. When the data audited is performed, it automatically records the information of the operator, the operation time, the operation target, and the operating behavior, and then provides query and statistical functions of information. What s more, according to data of different security needs, data audit is divided into two audit degrees: recording operation data and non-recording operation data [4]. 10. Metadata configuration management. Metadata configuration management is the basis of data security platform. It is main responsible for managing application configuration for different users. It is achieved by providing users with a range of configuration options and features switch, and it is stored in the form of metadata. 5. Solutions of Data Security Monitoring Platform for Enterprise based on SaaS Solutions of Data security monitoring platform for enterprise based on SaaS includes four Algorithms: 1. RBAC based on artificial neural network. 2. Context-aware modeling based on ontology. 3. Multi-attribute data filtering based on rough se. 4. Multi-dimensional association rule mining algorithm for audit analysis. 5.1.RBAC based on Artificial Neural Network It uses two layers of cascading algorithm to forward and send them back. It is a supervised learning algorithm on acyclic multistage network. Before system run, through analyzing the relationship between role and its corresponding permission, as well as the relationship between different roles, especially the role permissions inheritance relationship between higher and lower to select appropriate role/permission vector as the training samples of artificial neural network input/output. In training, the role samples as the input vector and the corresponding privilege as the perfect output vector. Input vector and its corresponding output vector form training pairs, and the input and output layers use logistic function as the activation function to train the corresponding artificial neural networks. Step1. First, user login the system by authentication. According to the information of identity, system resolves the information of its corresponding roles to get role code. Step2. When user operates the system, it takes the user code as an input vector for artificial neural network to directly calculate corresponding output vector, which user has permissions. Step3. According to user permissions, allow or deny a user's current system operation. Step4. Algorithm end 72 Copyright c 2013 SERSC
7 5.2. Context-aware Modeling Based on Ontology The main idea is to convert concept and relationship of context domain ontology into a collection (ABox) of description logic. The concept and relationship of context ontology is stored in the axiom set (TBox). This consists of two parts: The concept and relationship of context meta-ontology, inheritance and expansion of domain ontology for meta-ontology. On that basis, so we express the rules set of context ontology by using Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL). 1. The algorithm is proposed to convert the context model Step1. Generate TBox Step1.1. It creates corresponding concepts for kinds of meta-concepts which appear in meta-ontology model in TBox. Step1.2. Correlation R between concept of A and B for context meta-ontology is created in TBox first, and then axiom A R.B is added. Step1.3. About the inheritance between super-concepts and sub-concepts for context meta-ontology, axiom B A should be added in TBox. Step1.4. For the property X (data type is T) of concept A, axiom A X.T should be added in TBox. Step2. Generate ABox. Step2.1. It creates corresponding examples for kinds of domain concepts which appear in context meta-ontology in ABox. Step2.2. For various relationships of context domain ontology, first we map them as exiting in TBox, and then we add them to corresponding relationships in ABox. Step2.3. For various properties of context domain ontology, corresponding property instance is created in ABox. Step3. Algorithm end. 2. The algorithm is proposed to convert the SWRL Input: Rules collection of ontology include Meta-Rules of meta-ontology and specific Dom-Rules of domain. Output: SWRL rules Step1. Convert precondition of rules into antecedent of SWRL. Step1.1. The association R between X and Y is converted to antecedent clause of SMRL in precondition, as the same time relation R is converted to Rxy (, ). x and y can be variable or constant. They are the instance of X and Y. Step1.2. If the antecedent contains multiple clauses, and then join relationship between them. Step1.3. Add a predicate like A( xa, ), where instance x of concept X is variable and value of property is constant, meanwhile A is property predicate. Step2. Convert results of rules into consequent of SWRL.

8 Step3. Algorithm end Multi-attribute Data Filtering based on Rough Set Set a condition attribute c= { a0, a1, L,an} Step1. Given a value of m, m<n; Step2.The condition attribute set is divided into several subsets which they are disjoint. L,, Q0 = { a0, a1,, am 1}, Q1 = { am, am+ 1,, a2m 1},, Qs = { asm, asm+ 1,, an} Step3. For each Q { Q,,, 0 Q1 Q } to the following: S 1. Different value of Q are represented by q, q 0 1,, qk 1. q = 0, q = 1,, q = k 1; Q0, Q1, Q s k 1 3. j = 0 ; 4. v= q j + 1, q = j+ 1 qj,if there is a Yi0 U / IND ( D) such that q j Q and q j+ 1 Q belong to it, then qj+ 2 = qj+ 2 1,, qk 1 = qk 1 1,or q = j+ 1 v 5. j = j+ 1, if j = k,then output q0, q1,, qk 1, or go to 4. Multi-attribute filtering can reduce the merging contingency. Here, we get a training set by an information table. Assuming when condition attribute is a=0, decision attribute is d=0, so ( a=0) ( d=0). When numbers of training examples are given insufficient, this rule has a larger contingency. If we add a condition attribute b, we can get d=0 when a=0, b=1, that is( a=0) ( b=1) ( d=0) Multi-dimensional Association Rule Mining Algorithm for Audit Analysis The whole algorithm is divided into two steps: First, the generation of frequent item sets. (This step need minimum support threshold). Second, to generate strong association rules by the frequent item sets. (This step need minimum confidence threshold). 1. The generation of frequent item sets. Algorithm character based on Apriori: A set of any non-empty subsets of frequent item sets also must be a frequent item sets, that is, if the model whose length is k is frequent, so the length of k+1 could not be frequent. Input: audit trail database D and minimum support threshold. Output: frequent item sets L in D. Step1. L 1 = {find frequent item sets 1-item sets} Step2. for(k=2; L k-1 begin C k = apriori_gen(lk-1, For all candidate c Ck do Φ ; k++) do min_ sup) 74 Copyright c 2013 SERSC
9 k { min_ sup} L = c C c count End k International Journal of Security and Its Applications Step3. return L= U K L K ; The function of Apriori_gen includes two options: self-joins and pruning. Input: Lk 1 and minimum support threshold Output: super group of all frequent k item sets Step1. insert into C k Step2. select p[ 1, ] p[ 2, ], p[ k 1, ] q[ k 1] from L p, L q k 1 k 1 [ 1] = [ 1, ], [ 2] = [ 2, ] [ 1] < [ 1] wherep q pk qk pk qk Step3. candidate set for each C k do f ( s L ) then k 1 Delete c from C k 2. Multi-dimensional association rule generating algorithm for audit analysis. Input: frequent item sets L from algorithm 1. Output: Multi-dimensional association rule. For each frequent item sets L do Find all of non-empty subsets from L. For each non-empty subset subl do if ( support _ count( L)/ support _ count( subl) min_ conf ) then output multi-dimensional association rule. subl ( L subl) 6. Algorithm Implementation The overall structural design of the software platform is built on the J2EE platform specification. The selection of database system is that supports business application systems commonly used in large-scale relational database system MS SQL SERVER and ORACLE. Algorithm 1to 4 of this scheme mainly involve to realize role-based access control, context modeling, data filtering and data audit. As the importance of the role-based access control, as well as the combination with others, here we mainly introduce the implementation process of RBAC. Role relationships are shown in Figure 4: Copyright c 2013 SERSC 75
10 Figure 4. Role Relations Table 1. Code Rule of User and Role Superior role inherits all permissions of subordinate role. Each role privilege is shown in Table 2. Role and others combine as input vector in table, as well as the corresponding permission as output vector. After artificial neural network completes training, we have 6 users with different roles. u u u u u u { I J} { G} { BF} { EH} { EGI} { A} :, ( ) : ( ) :, ( ) :, ( ) :,, ( ) : ( ) Table 2.

11 Six role codes of users as the input vector for neural network to train corresponding output 6 vector, at the same time the training accuracy control in10.the output values we get are consistent with expected output permissions in Table 3, so this algorithm is effective. Although we only verify 6 users, but the algorithm can be extended to any number of users based on specific information system. This complies with the multi-user extensibility of SaaS. Table 3. User Role and Output Permission Input(role) role role code U G BF EH EGI A Output (permission) p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6 p7 p8 p9 p10 p11 p12 p13 p Algorithm uses the pre-trained artificial neural network to compute user's access rights, eliminating a lot of look-up table operation, can effectively improve the efficiency of access control. 7. Summary Dynamic data filtering policies of the present study is based on role-based control mechanism about access. It filters the set of operating data of users in the layer of applied and logical implementation. It provides a flexible and dynamic data security and fine-grained control of data for multi-user shared data in SaaS applications. It provides centralized authentication, authorization and access control for multiple services and users in the cloud environment to ensure the consistency of the data security policy enforcement. The data security monitoring platform uses the SaaS application model to provide users with fast, low-cost security services. By controlling fine-grained role-based authorization privileges and the data security monitoring platform increasing the concept of resource permissions, it manages users in a hierarchical authorization way. By defining the role of the relation of inheritance and inclusion relations, it improves performance of the RBAC model under environment of mass access control used in. The filtering rules in the platform use the dynamic SQL form which is stored in the form XML file so as to filter data easily and efficiently in the database side, and the to improve the performance of data filtering.

The Schizophrenia Bulletin (1983, 9(3):368-376) carries an article by RRJ Lewine, L Fogg and HY Meltzer (University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and Illinois State Psychiatric Institute) entitled "Assessment of negative and positive symptoms in schizophrenia." The authors introduce the concept of sample- and instrument-free additive measurement and apply this concept to the "Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Current" (SADS-C) and the "Nurses' Observation Scale for Inpatient Evaluation" (NOSIE). Their study addresses problems in the theoretical and practical meaning of negative and positive symptoms in schizophrenia; the general conclusion is that a uni-dimensional scale for the measurement of negative symptoms is probably within reach, provided that more research concerning construct validity is completed.
A 1986 comment on this article by B Grau (University of Illinois at Chicago) and KT Mueser (Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute) appears in the same journal (12(1):7-8). These authors point out that the negative symptom scales produced by the SADS-C and the NOSIE do not correlate, possibly for reasons of differing item content or methods of data collection cited by Lewine, Fogg and Meltzer. Grau and Mueser go on to say that the multi-dimensionality of the data requires that "the Rasch model should accordingly be rejected for the domain of negative symptoms as a whole".
Lewine responds to Grau and Mueser in the same issue of Schizophrenia Bulletin (pp. 9-11), pointing out that their rejection of Rasch's approach to measurement ignores the difficulties and opportunities that attend the conceptual and methodological transition from educational data to psychiatric data. In fact substantive differences in content and method between the SADS-C and NOSIE are so great as to lead one to wonder how they could ever have been held to measure the same thing. Lewine points out that, although Grau and Mueser come upon it for the wrong reasons, their question concerning the uni- dimensionality of the negative symptoms construct is important, interesting and legitimate.
This interchange brings out a basic problem. If the definition of objective measurement implemented by Rasch's approach is rejected, how can anyone assess multi-dimensional constructs since they then remain fundamentally and inextricably confounded with one another? By undertaking quantitative research in a careful and thoughtful manner, Lewine has taken basic steps toward the implementation of fundamental measurement in the setting of schizophrenic symptoms.

Corpus has made its name by offering high-quality denim men's clothing that's clean and classic yet edgy and modern. The brainchild of L.A.-based designers Jerrod Cornish and Keith Richardson, the brand embraces minimalism and simplicity — reworking timeless designer and selvedge denim jeans, button-down shirts, and motorcycle jackets. Corpus focuses squarely on the fit and fabric of each cotton hoodie, shirt, and pair of casual pants. The result: a clothing collection that's masculine, forward-thinking, and exactly the sort of thing any stylish guy wants to wear.
Sure, you graduated more than a few years back, but there's nothing wrong with a return to collegiate style—especially when it's this good. Stock up on everything from university stripe shirts and smart chukka boots to preppy pea coats and varsity jackets in this sale, and get ready to make the grade.
It's not always easy for busy dads to kick back and relax, but there's better no way to encourage him to indulge than with a playful pick that's tailored for his lifestyle. The selection of fun finds here will bring a smile to his face and make sure he knows that this Father's Day is all about him.
We're all for patriotism, especially around the Fourth of July, but that "These Colors Don't Run" American-flag shirt that you bought from a street vendor isn't exactly the height of style. Fix up your red, white, and blue game here with a slew of picks that run the gamut from shoelaces to swim trunks to a three-piece luggage set.
We all know the benefits of looking your best at all times. But if there's one instance where it's absolutely crucial, it's on a date. Luckily, we've got everything you need to make sure you clean up nice—from trousers to blazers to trim button-downs. Now all you need to do is find that perfect restaurant…

Many people wonder how hard the DLAB really is. If you ask those who have taken it, they will probably tell you that it was one of the hardest tests they have ever taken. The general response is, no matter how well you actually did on the test, you will walk out of there feeling as though you just bombed it. Don't worry, everyone just about feels this way.
So why is the test so difficult and what makes it leave such an impression?
It's because the test is formatted differently and is like nothing you have ever seen before. It will ask you a different type of question that if you aren't prepared for, may leave you clueless as to what they really want. In some parts it almost feels like a riddle or brain games trying to match pictures and phrases based off grammar structures and third-tier connections.
Unlike a math test, the DLAB does not ask you questions that you can memorize the answers for. It will ask you to apply certain fundamental grammar rules to a fast paced reading and will ask you to restructure the sentence in your mind and write the answer. Then in a set of pictures you will need to quickly establish linking elements so as to draw a conclusion on what the question is asking. Sounds strange right?
Well don't worry. In our previous posts, we have written out the basic layouts of the DLAB tests. For a more specific view of what to expect on the DLAB, we have two posts that should be of special interest to you: Tips for the Listening Portion of the DLAB and Tips for the Visual Portion of the DLAB. These three articles will serve you well in preparing for the exam, but nothing beats the study guides on the markets or the practice tests.
But, if you really want to get a firm grasp of what the DLAB offers, then you need to pickup a DLAB study guide. Inside the study guides, you will find the complete layout, test secrets, and even DLAB Practice Tests.
So, make sure to checkout all of these resources and they will help you get you prepared for a test that you aren't supposed to be prepared for. It will serve you best to feel comfortable with the type of questions and in the end will make the test easier. No longer will you reply "I think I bombed that!" But instead, you'll feel alright.

In March of 1876, John Thomas (Tom) Barker bought land on Kincaid Mountain near Holland, Georgia to build a home for his family. Although the Barker family name has died, their descendants still treasure this land.
Tom and his wife, Linnie L. Blake, came to Chattooga County from neighboring Floyd County. Tom was a Confederate veteran, having served in the 29th Georgia Infantry. He was captured during the Battle of Franklin (Tennessee) and interned at Camp Douglas, Illinois, for the remainder of the war. After his release, he walked back to Georgia.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
if got little in the divorce, then how do I appeal a case when judge ruled unfairly against evidence? ex gets to keep all the assets in divorce and gives me little.even though his income is about $250k a year, I get almost nothing?
Not for divorce cases. Rule 1.5(c)(1) of the Oregon Rules of Professional Conduct prohibits attorneys from working for a contingency fee in a domestic relations case.
Actually, I would be surprised if any attorney would take any appellate case on a purely contingent basis. There are two reasons: first, most appellate cases don't actually result in a money award, even if you win (although they might include an award for reasonable attorney fees). Rather, they're more likely to result in a new trial, with the trial court directed to consider or decide one particular issue differently.
Second, appeals are a huge amount of work, that can occupy a large part of a lawyer's time for months on end. Lawyers need to eat too.
But, as I said, there can be a provision for attorney fees if you do win on an appeal. You can consult with an attorney who specializes in domestic relations appeals to see whether the matter is worth pursuing.

As the prior responder states there are ethical rules against taking a matrimonial case in a contingency. That should be the entire answer rather than the economics of why a lawyer would be reluctant to take an appeal on a contingency.

Your best bet is if your case has an aiisue that could result in an award of attorney fees. However, almost no attorneys will work for the length of time an appeal takes in the hope of eventually getting an order awarding fees.

Jackie Winsall, from Gower Park, College Town, is on income support and has been left to foot a £500 veterinary bill for surgery which saved her cat's life.
The mother of three did not discover her four-year-old cat Scully had been shot in the abdomen until hours after the attack took place.
She said: "I fed her at 8am last Thursday and she was alright but when I came back from dropping the children at school at 8.20pm she was howling in pain.
"It wasn't until much later when I picked her up and she had blood on her that I realised she had been shot.
"It's such a shame because she is a very shy and timid cat and rarely ventures outside.
"Several of my neighbours' cats have been shot as well — I think it is a serious problem and I really fear for the other cats round here."
Mrs Winsall has had to phone round several charities to gather contributions to pay towards the vet bill.
"It has caused me a lot of money problems and I will have to use the money I have been saving for our family holiday."
Scully is the second of Mrs Winsall's cats that has been shot in 17 months.
"It wouldn't be so bad but I am still paying off the bill when Pugsy was shot in November 2001. I don't think whoever shot Scully realised how much damage they would cause.
"I realise cats can be annoying and they even annoy me but I just spray them with the hose — they hate that," she added.
The RSPCA has donated £100 to help pay for Scully's surgery and the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA) are due to contribute a percentage of the total bill.
Denise Tucker, a vet from Pheonix Veterinary Group in Branksome Hill Road, College Town, where Scully was treated, said: "This is a fairly common problem. We often get cats brought in with other problems and when we x-ray them we find they have air gun pellets lodged somewhere."
An RSPCA spokesperson added: "Unfortunately cases like this are all too common. The RSPCA has seen a 13 per cent increase in its investigations into airgun attacks on animals this year.
"Last year there were 900 cases reported of pets being shot and cats are the most common victims.
"We do believe that the majority of events are carried out by youngsters as incident figures show an increase in attacks during school holidays and when evenings grow lighter.
"For this reason we want the government to outlaw unsupervised use of these lethal weapons by children."
The RSPCA has welcomed the month-long National Firearms Amnesty, which began on Monday (March 31).
This Government initiative allows the public to hand
illegally held weapons or ammunition into the police by April 30 without fear of prosecution.
It is also an opportunity to surrender lawfully held guns and ammunition which are no longer wanted, such as air guns and replica guns.
Since the attack last Thursday, Scully has returned home and is recovering well.
Anyone wishing to report an incident of animal cruelty can contact the RSPCA helpline on 08705 555999.
Witnesses of this crime can also contact PC Carole Sessions, shoulder number 4916, at Crowthorne Police station on (01344) 751703.

How long owned a computer? Twelve years. "I was the last on my block to get one. My wife was afraid it would be a money pit. She was right, as usual."
Computer model? Dell Inspiron 5100 (laptop).
How long have the websites existed? RPI since 1994, BCS since 1999.
Is this your only job? "I do a little computer consulting on the side, but this is my primary gig."
Five years ago what did you see yourself doing? "Sitting on a beach drinking Mai Tais. Who knew Web publishing didn't pay that well?"
Why create a job where you replicate BCS standings? "Doesn't everyone want to replicate the BCS standings when they grow up?
"It started in 1993 with wanting to know about the RPI and how it was used. The NCAA published the formula but not the results, so I gathered the data and did it myself. I started publishing it on the Internet, and I had a following of fellow geeks big enough to fit in a minivan. Then a writer who covers Penn State found me and started talking to me about it. I guess he liked what I was doing, because he told two friends, they told two friends ... a shampoo commercial broke out, and pretty soon, everyone who covered college basketball knew who I was.
"When the BCS started, it was a relatively easy transition to create a site for that as well. It officially became a business in 2002 when corporate America and I got sick of each other."
So you're OK with being called a geek? "I am what I am."
Jeff Sagarin, who does computer rankings for USA TODAY, lives in Bloomington, Ind. You ever get together to compare formulas? "Bloomington is pretty far away from me, and as a Purdue guy, it's a place I actively avoid. Even if Jeff lived next door, I doubt we'd talk much. I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm an idiot."
Computers or humans? "If we're going to let a formula decide things, I'd get rid of the human polls. The voters don't have the time and/or interest to do it right. I would have one computer formula make the decision. That formula would have to be publicly available so people would know how they were being judged. If humans are going to be involved, I'd prefer a setup like the basketball selection committee, which would have the time and resources to do it right. That kind of thing seems like overkill to just pick two teams, though."
BCS or playoff? "I believe bowls and playoffs are mutually exclusive. The Purdue fan in me likes the bowl system so that my team gets a nice reward for a good year. ... On the other hand, a real playoff (minimum eight teams, 16 would be better, and forget that plus-one nonsense) would give all the contenders a chance at the national championship. If the football pooh-bahs ever do decide to create a playoff, I just hope they do a proper job of it."
Hours a week spent just figuring out BCS ratings? Eight.
How do the BCS officials see you? Nuisance? Another outlet for publicizing their model? "It probably depends on which official you ask and when you ask them. I've never asked them myself. At times, I'm treated like a nuisance. At times, I probably am one."
Rumor has it you invented the Palm Pilot. "Yes. I also invented palm readings, Palm Sunday, palming the ball, and, of course, the Internet."

Cousin Justine, formerly named Justine McManus (AUDIO: Movers), was a member of Faction Paradox who gained prominence during the Sontaran invasion of the Eleven-Day Empire by inheriting the shadow of Grandfather Paradox.
Biography Edit
Early life Edit
Much knowledge of Justine's early life is derived from the writings of Godfather Morlock and flashback hallucinations she had while imprisoned on the prison planet of the Great Houses.
According to these sources, she was born Justine McManus. She first encountered the Faction in 1899, when she was sixteen years old, in the form of Godfathers Morlock and Sabbath. The Godfathers were conducting Sabbath's initiation rite, in which Sabbath was to hunt down and kill his ancestors, alternating genders in reverse chronological order. Justine and her cousin, Emma James, caught Morlock's eye, and he bet Sabbath that if Sabbath failed in his hunt, Morlock would be allowed to induct one of the girls into the Faction. As Morlock was well aware, Sabbath's quarry — Emma's Aunt Fiora Venn — was already pregnant with Sabbath's grandfather (whom Sabbath had already killed), and was therefore off-limits. Sabbath was forced to settle for killing his great-grandmother's closest available relative: Emma. Although Emma had been Morlock's first choice of initiate, he recognised a determination in Justine that made him just as happy to accept her, and (surprisingly enough) she agreed to join Faction Paradox. (AUDIO: Movers, A Labyrinth of Histories)
After her initiation, Cousin Justine chose a sword as a shadow-weapon and broke with Faction tradition by declining to change her name. (AUDIO: The Eleven Day Empire) She was present during the Faction's activities on Dronid fifty years after the first battle in the Second War in Heaven, and she helped perform the ritual that sent the Relic into the Time Vortex. Her first mission as a Cousin was to go with Little Brother Manjuele to buy back the Relic at Mr Qixotl's auction; she failed by no fault of her own when the Eighth Doctor arrived and captured it. (PROSE: Alien Bodies)
Fall of the Empire Edit
Fifty-two years after the War started, a troop of Sontarans (secretly working for the Great Houses) invaded the Eleven-Day Empire. They planted a fusion bomb and (unbeknownst to the Faction) stole the Faction's biodata samples. Justine stopped the bomb by dropping her shadow-weapon and (at Godfather Morlock's behest) using her shadow to pick it up. When it detonated, it destroyed her shadow, but left no physical damage. Because of her lack of shadow, Morlock could graft on a replacement: specifically, the shadow of Grandfather Paradox, still attached to the blood on the knife with which he famously performed the Act of Severance. (AUDIO: The Eleven Day Empire)
Lolita and representatives of House Tracolix signed a treaty with the Faction which purported to again recognise Paradox as a House, but included a clause on the extradition of Faction members who had broken Homeworld law. Using an obscure, archaic Faction rule — which stated that the bearer of another person's shadow should be treated as that person — Lolita was able to declare Justine the Grandfather, declare the Faction in breach of the treaty, and have the Sontarans enforce martial law. Using the stolen biodata, Lolita used the stolen biodata to commune with the Empire's spirits, and then consumed the Empire into her interior dimensions. Morlock bundled Cousin Justin and Cousin Eliza into a timeship. He told them to go to the Homeworld, saying that Paradox was now officially a House, and that the laws Lolita used didn't apply outside of Faction territory. (AUDIO: The Shadow Play)
However, instead of going to the Homeworld, Justine piloted the timeship to 1762, hoping that because of the Gregorian Compact they would be accepted as diplomats. She and Eliza initially took sanctuary with the Order of Saint Francis in Medmenham, but after the Order was attacked by the Secret Service, she decided that as a foreign dignitary it would be for her to introduce herself to the Royal Court. His Majesty The King George III gave her the dubious honour of a duel with one of his Peking Homunculi, which she won. Once she had returned to Medmenham, the Earl of Sandwich introduced her to the real head of the Order: Compassion, in the body of Mary Culver. Compassion explained that Lolita was trying to conquer 1762 by way of Britain, and Justine and Compassion formed a tenuous alliance to stop her. (AUDIO: Sabbath Dei)
The Great Houses finally caught up with Justine in St James's Square. The Serviceman Sabbath (no relation), acting as their agent, transformed it into a courtroom cut off from Earth, in which she was put on trial for the Grandfather's crimes. Aware that she had no chance of winning her case, Justine made only a token effort to defend herself — instead summoning Lolita as a witness and questioning her about her intentions on Earth. Justine-as-Grandfather Paradox was found guilty, and sent off to the Houses' prison planet. (AUDIO: In the Year of the Cat)
Imprisoned by the Great Houses Edit
Frozen in the Houses' prison, Justine dreamt of her childhood. She remembered when she first encountered the Faction, and seeing a beautiful face in the sky — except that the latter was happening in her present, as Cousin Shuncucker looked in on her in her casket. It was enough to trigger some self-awareness, and she used the Grandfather's shadow to obtain the type of weapon which would let her out of the casket's time frame. Immediately she found herself confronted by someone else who claimed to be the last scion of Faction Paradox, and bearer of the shadow of Grandfather Paradox himself: Kresta Ve Coglana Shuncucker. (AUDIO: Movers)
Each insisting that they were the last true saviour of the Faction, the two Cousins were initially at odds. Demetra Kine, a posthuman from Siloportem, had a feud with the Faction and had had herself imprisoned so she could kill Shuncucker when the prison inevitably failed. However, the Cousins soon reached an accord and killed Kine and her agents. Justine discovered that Compassion had orchestrated the entire breakout over the past six months just to rescue her. Compassion sent Justine her timeship, and Justine returned to Earth in 1763. (AUDIO: A Labyrinth of Histories)
Justine eventually led an attack on Lolita, who became War Queen of the Homeworld, managing to break her control of the planet. (AUDIO: The Judgment of Sutekh)
Appearance Edit
Justine was white, with red hair, green eyes, and far less harsh of a face than you'd expect from someone who went around wearing a skull mask. (PROSE: Alien Bodies) When she was imprisoned on the prison planet of the Great Houses, she was given the customary tattoo. (PROSE: A Labyrinth of Histories)
Behind the scenes Edit
Character notes by Lawrence Miles Edit
Faction Paradox recruit. Young, probably early twenties. Recruited from nineteenth-century England, and it shows. Polite. Demure. Tends to be overly formal, and therefore an unusual candidate for a time-travelling voodoo cult. Probably quite uncertain about her new role in life. Nineteenth-century upbringing means that she's ashamed and embarrassed by the fact that she comes from a family of witches, even though it's the reason the Faction's interested in her. Actually capable of being quite aggressive, but only when she's sure of what she's doing. At the moment, she isn't.
