|State Pension Credit Bill [Lords]
Mr. McCartney: The Tories started it.
Mr. Boswell: The right hon. Gentleman tries to distance himself from it, but it was created with the assent of all parties. We have ended up with a situation in which it is still difficult to obtain a satisfactory service from that agency. That situation may be compounded by the actions of some of the service users, but that is not the point. People do not feel happy or comfortable with it.
I do not want to speak for too long on that subject, however. What I really want to do—and I hope that Labour Back Benchers will approve of my reference—is quote the Prime Minister's remark that what counts is what works. That is a good and congenial principle. I am not getting at the Minister or the Under-Secretary in saying this, but over the years Ministers of all parties have given too much attention to the big scheme and the press release and not enough to the details of delivery. One can go to the opposite extreme and have micromanagement, constant fiddling with the system and telling managers how to do their jobs. However, it is important for Ministers during the run-in process to keep in touch with what is happening and take a lively interest in the delivery.
We may debate endlessly about who was responsible for what, but if we want to find an example from the Department we need not refer to the Child Support Agency. We could consider the example of NIRS2, which did not work as well as Ministers of either party hoped or intended that it would. [Interruption.] The Under-Secretary is seeking to barrack, but I am trying to be as bipartisan as I can on this matter.
Delivering to pensioners and honouring undertakings or understandings is what is important. Only this week, we heard the disturbing news that service pensions will no longer be available by order or warrant but will have to be paid through bank accounts. That decision was not taken by the Minister's Department, but it will mean that some service veterans may feel that they have been badly treated. My hon. Friend the Member for Canterbury may want to comment on that matter.
Mr. Brazier: It is particularly crass timing for what is already an unwelcome announcement.
The Chairman: You are straying a little.
Mr. Brazier: I understand that, Mr. Griffiths, but it is particularly bad timing for the Government to announce that decision, given that we have just heard about a long-running tax problem associated with pensioners.
Mr. Boswell: You were genteelly implying, Mr. Griffiths, that that matter was on the periphery of our concerns, but the example is relevant.
Column Number: 233
Let me praise the Department, not only to defuse any implied criticism but because it deserves praise for the little leaflet that it published, entitled ''Changes to our service from April 2002.'' That leaflet is clear, in that any member of Committee might understand it and most pensioners would, if they chose to read it. It explains that the Department is being split and that those of working age will deal with Jobcentre Plus and that the Pension Agency will be in contact with those nearing state pension age. It continues:
It advises pensioners not to panic if they do not hear from the service for a considerable time, because the process will take some while and the service will be able to get in touch with them. The leaflet also says that if people want help from the social fund they will have to go through Jobcentre Plus anyway, even if they are pensioners. That is an implicit contradiction, and an example of what happens when services are divided. Are the different functions actually joined up?
The matters to which I refer attracted considerable attention from the Select Committee, whose report most members of this Committee will have studied. Those who participated in writing the report may want to comment on it. The report makes seven recommendations. It emphasises the need to ensure proper delivery and appropriate levels of training and support for the Pension Service and to test the cost and practicability of providing a freefone number for clients. It also refers to the need for a significant number of local staff able to deal with pensioners on a face-to-face basis. It makes a particular point about pensioners from ethnic minorities, which is interesting when one bears in mind the revelation that there will be no call centre in the south-east because of cost. The call centre will be located in Blackpool, which certainly is remote. Finally, the report emphasises the need for an adequate level of expertise and expresses concerns about initial take-up.
That is a legitimate block of concerns from the Select Committee, which has after all a Government majority.
Andrew Selous: In relation to proposed subsection (2)(b), does my hon. Friend agree that ''suitably qualified'' should include the ability to speak the pensioner's first language? Will the Minister enlighten us on the number of Urdu and Bengali speakers that will have to be employed in Blackpool to deal with pensioners from ethnic minority backgrounds in the south-east?
Mr. Boswell: That is a perfectly fair consideration.
There is a wider issue here, and my interests in disability drive me to comment on it. We shall be dealing with those who are frail or vulnerable, do not understand the rules or are diffident about making a claim because they are concerned about means-testing. They may not want to admit to their relative poverty or need for benefit, so it is extremely important that the right kind of training is given to employees, and that they are aware of the sensitivity of the matter. They need to show sensitivity, not just in the cold sense of being able to respond to a query without upsetting
Column Number: 234the client; they must show active sensitivity, in the sense of being able to flag up a particular case if they have concerns about the safety of an individual who seems to be suicidal or disturbed—especially if he or she has been given advice that they did not want to hear—or if they have concerns about the urgency of a case, where a domiciliary visit is necessary and someone needs to get on and handle the case.
10 am
Most of us would probably be able to resolve the problem if, for example, our pension payment was delayed by a week or two, because people may show us understanding, and we may have bank accounts or reserves of capital, but that is not the case for everyone. We must ensure that those who deliver the service at the coal face can respond to those concerns. I am sure that the Minister would wish that to be the case and I do not want to lecture him further. I just wanted to reinforce the sensitivities that the Select Committee set out in its report.
I want to flag up two specific points. The first—it is not a cheap trick, although it requires the continuing attention of Ministers and senior managers in the Department—is that there are always demarcation lines. It is an old military maxim that one attacks where the two commands of the enemy join. Social fund claimants, who are, by definition, those with extreme and immediate problems, must go through Jobcentre Plus, even if they are pensioners. I emphasise that point to the Minister because he mentioned earlier that many pensioners do not like going through a conventional employment office—[Interruption.] They would find Jobcentre Plus better. I am not seeking to dispute that, but some people would find even that unpleasant because it smacks of going down the social.
My second point relates to the interface with the disability and carers service. I received a helpful response from the Minister on that subject the other day, although it was not entirely convincing, because we shall not know how well the services interrelate until we see the legislation working in practice. However, it is intended that the recipient authority should pass on concerns to other parts of the service, and that will be an important part of the training process. Even if the individual does not know the answer to a problem, he or she will need to know someone who does if they are to pass the case on, and ensure that it is managed properly and does not die off. We all understand why work has to be done in silos and people must be trained in a specific benefit, but they also need to have knowledge on the periphery, as Members of Parliament often have to demonstrate in dealing with casework, to enable them to deal with other difficulties that need to be sorted out.
I want to mention two or three other issues, starting with call centres and telephones. In my constituency experience, when people explain about the benefit that they do not receive or the service that they have received—I do not want to overstate the numbers because they are not huge, but they are a cause for concern in some cases—they often say, ''I rang up and someone told me this, so I did this, and then I was told
Column Number: 235that I had over-claimed or shouldn't have received the benefit and there was an overpayment,'' or they say, ''I found out later that I could have claimed, but I haven't got the benefit.''
One of the difficulties with a call centre system is that all the documentary evidence disappears. For years we laughed about people pushing pens, in the Whitehall tradition, and I have some sympathy with that. I have been a Minister, and I know that a private secretary may write lovely notes saying that the Minister has agreed to something when the Minister only put a vague tick on the page, but at least we knew where we were. I remember one interesting exchange with a senior official, when I said, ''I don't think I agreed to that.'' He said, ''Well, here it is, Minister.'' I said, ''Fine—gotcha! I accept it.''
Mr. James Clappison (Hertsmere): Gotcha!
Mr. Boswell: That is what he said—we had a good relationship. The point is that if something is in writing it is incontestable, unless there has been some duress. A telephone conversation is much less definite. We anticipate that officials would give the correct advice in most cases. Sometimes—our constituency work echoes this—we may not understand what the client is trying to communicate to us. It does get confusing. There is also the error—

nursing school
Hi folks
im in senior in high school and there is this college apply day in my school in November so im freaking out what college to apply to i dont want to regret after applying it and feel stupid about it so of course i want to major nursing so can you guys give me any advices or any thoughts what colleges I should apply to or collge that has great nursing schools? please help.
About Irene Wheeler
Joined: Aug '12; Posts: 6Sep 15, '12Hi College Senior,
That is a wonderful question but not easily answered. Here are some Q and A situations to consider: In state vs out of state, commuter student vs living on a campus, total cost, what field of nursing you think you want to end up in (this will probably change many times), how long do you want to invest in school, and do you need to find work immediately to help put yourself in a better financial situation or to get points on your nursing school application? Lastly, what are your grades like in high school? Are you a great student or an average student? Make an excel spreadsheet to compare colleges that you are considering and look them over with parents or advisors.
If you have no financial limitations, are a 4.0 out of 4.0 scale student, and want to graduate with a BSRN then aim high and go for Emory or Georgia Health Scineces University (GA Medical College). If that is not your situation then use what you have or will have when deciding where to apply.
Maybe you would enjoy transferring to another college after you do your core work. A lot of students save as much money as they can during the first two years of college and go to junior college. It's smart but you may want the "entire" college experience and attending a school like UGA or GA Tech with 30,000 +/- students is appealing to you.
Basically, find out who you are and find a school that fits you, or challenges and grows you as a person, or simply prepares you for a wonderful life in healthcare. Know what you can handle in the way of peer pressure, financial obligations, and academic vs work demands. College is demanding but rewarding as well.
One thouhgt for you, some schools are starting to require pre nursing students to obtain a CNA license prior to applying to a nursing program. A smart thing to do might be to take a 30-90 day class at a continuing education facility (costs can widely range from $500-$2200) during one of your summers. You can take continuing education classes in addition to regular college credit classes but many students would become overwhelmed to do so. Summer or December break is best for CEU's.Sep 16, '12Only advice I would like to give is:
Go for the BSN - in the long run and with the way nursing is heading overall you are going to need it - in some facilites you do now even to be considered for hire. If you go for ADN then decide to go back later it will be more difficult most likely because you will have a job etc.
As far as applying..given the competitiveness of nursing schools...I'd apply to several if you can afford the application fees. Choose any school that is accredited obviously. I've not heard of any requiring a CNA license prior to admission to a program or to becoming a nurse. If that is the case, I personally would skip that school.
Good luck!

Zooko's Triangle [Zooko] argues that names cannot be global, secure, and memorable, all at the same time. Domain names are an example: they are global, and memorable, but as the rapid rise of phishing demonstrates, they are not secure.
Though no single name can have all three properties, the petname system does indeed embody all three properties. Informal experiments with petname-like systems suggest that petnames can be both intuitive and effective. Experimental implementations already exist for simple extensions to existing browsers that could alleviate (possibly dramatically) the problems with phishing. As phishers gain sophistication, it seems compelling to experiment with petname systems as part of the solution.
Below, we have Zooko's Triangle overlaid with a petname system:
For the purposes of this document, we actually use an alternate rendering of the key points of Zooko's Triangle. The points of the triangle are:
Each name set consists of three elements: a key that is global and securely unique (but not necessarily memorable); a nickname that is global and memorable (but not at all unique) , and a petname that is securely unique and memorable (but private, not global):
A good example of a nickname management system is Google. Type
in a name, and Google will return a list that includes all the entities
Google knows, to which the name refers. Google
makes a mapping between these nicknames and their keys (if we think
of the url of a page as a trusted-path-style key, which will be
discussed later). Often
enough to be interesting, the first item in the list will be the one
you wanted. But it fails often enough, and endless pages of other
choices appear often enough, to never leave us in doubt that these
are not unique mappings to single keys. As is already true in the
current world, in a world filled with petname
systems, a key goal of marketing would be to get your nickname listed
at the top of the Google rankings for that nickname.
A single key may map to multiple nicknames. The entity that comes up first in a Google search for "Marc Stiegler" is an entity who proposes the nickname "marcs" for himself in many forums. However, to assess the security properties of a petname system, this is irrelevant.
Nicknames are conveniences that may serve as good starting points for petnames. If I send you my key and my nickname, often my nickname (which I normally will have chosen to be reasonably rare in the world) will work great as your petname. But do not confuse the nickname-as-proposal with the petname-as-decided. Never in a true petname system is the nickname presented or employed as if it were a petname.
Alleged names
are similar enough to nicknames to be worth
distinguishing. An alleged name is the name for an entity proposed by a
third party, typically in an introduction. This can also be useful as a
starting place for picking a petname. Alleged names, like nicknames,
are usually memorable, often global, and never securely unique. Alleged
names are often based on nicknames, though this is unreliable enough,
if one really cares about the nickname then one really needs to ask the
entity holding the key, not the introducer.
In action, keys and alleged names tend to be transferred together. We refer henceforth to such key/alleged-name pairs as referrals.
It is crucial not to confuse private petnames with global nicknames that temporarily happen to have a unique mapping to a key. Experience to date suggests that the word "petname" is attractive, leading people to desire to use it. People can thence easily fall into the trap of referring to momentarily unique nicknames as "petnames". This error then leads them inevitably to draw fatally confused conclusions about the possibility of petnames with global meaning. The security properties of a petname come from its privacy. Public nicknames are trivially vulnerable to both forgery and mimicry; they have no security properties.
Petnames are guessable. Most people will accept Paypal's nickname as the petname. This can only impact the security of the system if the user interface distinguishes the petnames from the nicknames so poorly that the user gets confused.
The term "petname" suggests that this name is embodied as text. This
not necessary; petnames can be graphical as well. Indeed, some of the
petname systems listed later use petnames that include both pet
texts and pet
Petnames must be repeatably editable by the human being so that the set of petnames can evolve as the user's set of associations grow. You might use the petname "Mark Miller" for the one and only Mark Miller that you know. But then if you meet another Mark Miller you will have to distinguish, possibly by editing the first one: the single entry "Mark Miller" may now split into "Mark Miller Capability Guru" and "Mark Miller Dentist".
Petnames convey power: since the petname is the user representation
of the key, it is through the petname that the human
uses the key, communicates with the key owner, and conveys authority to
the key owner based on the user's purposeful
relationship with that owner (purposeful
trust is the type of
needed to engage in action: I trust (i.e., I am willing to be
vulnerable to) Entity X to hold N number of
dollars on my behalf, and to engage in transfers of that money based on
orders I give).
Another way of thinking about the relationship between a key and a
petname is this. The key is used to authenticate the entity that owns
the key. The petname is used as a handle upon which to hang the
trust/reliance/vulnerability data used by the human being to make
authorization decisions for that entity. If the entity represented by
the petname My Phone Company asks for my credit card, if the
justification sounds reasonable, I will release it. If the entity
represented by the petname Deadbeat Brother (whom I nonetheless trust
to teach my daughter soccer in the afternoon without supervision -- the
trust relationship with such a brother is neither positive nor
negative, it is complex) asks for my credit card, I will not release it
no matter what the justification.
The security of a petname system depends on the keys to prevent forgery, and on the petnames to prevent mimicry.
Informal experimentation suggests that a petname system is much easier to use than to explain (see examples below). We will create a single example for this introduction, and give some hint as to the wide diversity of variations in the Examples. Suppose I send you Mark Miller's OpenPGP pubkey in email. I say, "here is mark miller's pubkey." I sent you both a key and an alleged name (mark miller). Implicit in the transmission of the alleged name is the proposal that you might want to consider "mark miller" as the petname. What you actually choose as a petname depends entirely on your context. If you know this particular mark miller in other contexts in other applications as "markm", you may choose "markm" as the name referring to this key in your list of pubkeys. If you think this might be the same mark miller, but are not willing to be vulnerable to me as the sole source of such powerful mapping, you might use the petname "Marc Stiegler's Mark Miller" or "Mark Stiegler's markm". If you perform appropriate incantations on the pubkey, you can get the entity's nickname. If this pubkey already exists in your list, your software shouldn't give you the choice of adding it: the software should tell you that you already have this one, and tell you the current petname (and perhaps bring up the petname editor so you can change the petname if the newly-received reference suggests a better name). If you receive a message signed with the private key for the markm petname's pubkey, the software should display the petname markm. If you send a message to mark miller, you should pick the encryption key based on the petname.
The above example has the
security properties of a petname system, but OpenPGP systems often do
not demonstrate the usability properties a petname system
Instant messaging systems with buddy lists demonstrate the usability
properties, but for reasons beyond the understanding of this author,
discard all the security properties. See the examples section for more
details on buddy lists as petname systems.
Two elements of full-fledged petname systems seem to be principle sources of controversy. One is, how do I get the keys transferred around the system? The other is, "how easily can Darth Vader mimic a petname?".
Transferring keys around the universe is easy; for example, plaster the keys on all the web sites in the world that'll let you do so. The hard part is transferring a key with an association to purposeful trust. It is useless to both PayPal and the phisher who wants your Paypal account if you just know Paypal's key; you have to be willing to make yourself vulnerable to the entity who owns the key to hold your credit card, trusting him to engage in only transfers that you specify.
The question, "how do I transfer a purposeful trust association?", is hard to answer because there is no simple single answer. Instead, there are a vast array of answers, each of which works in narrow circumstances. The question is made even more difficult to answer because the mechanisms by which humans determine an appropriate purposeful trust to be associated with an entity is subtle, complex, powerful, and completely subconscious: the question of how you transfer the association can easily slide into a hopeless discussion of how to create purposeful trust in the first place. Here we outline some general ideas for transferring key/purposeful-trust mappings, then in the Examples point out some practical approaches in specific narrow contexts.
Answers often start with direct physical contact. You get a combination of a nickname and a key in a file from your best friend, who says, "this Google thing is a great search engine", or "this Consumer Reports site will not lead you astray". You stick these referrals in your browser, assign petnames, and make yourself vulnerable to them for the purposes stated because your friend said so. Then when the side of the bus says PayPal, you might go and see what Google thinks Paypal means. Since a relationship with PayPal is a serious vulnerability decision, serious enough so that we're not going to jump at the first site just because Google said so, we'll ask a few of our friends to email referrals to the entities they use for online money. If the referrals they send all share the same key as the Google key (which is easy to tell, because trying to add each new key/petname mapping will produce the alert that the key matches something you've already got), the quality of your willingness to be vulnerable to the key you have petnamed PayPal improves. This is pretty similar to how we all started using PayPal even without the petname system: we jumped in when enough of our friends and organizations that we trust for recommendations about financial matters concurred. The only difference in the petname version of the story is that our friends explicitly gave us referrals rather than easily mimicked domain names, and we explicitly set a petname (perhaps by just clicking an Accept key when the alleged name was proposed as the petname).
While a full-fledged, purebred petname system could in principle supplant the entire DNS system, we have DNS now, and we can use it to do some bootstrapping. My ability to type google.com and paypal.com is probably adequate to get started.
Regardless of how you bootstrap, you can get referrals by email, thumbdrive, web page, chat, and even by telephone.
The other part of the system that is impossible to quantify is the mimicability of pet names. Let us assume a poorly built petname system in the clutches of a clueless user. We have a money transfer site on the Web that we have petnamed PayPal. We get an email telling us to update our PayPal account, we click the link, and go to a domain that has given itself the nickname PayPa1 (for those of you with typically broken fonts, that last character, "1", is a one). Our poorly built hypothetical petname system is so poorly built, the nickname is put into the field where the petnames go, with a hint of shading or some other easy-to-miss mod to mark the fact that this is the web site's nickname for itself, not our petname for it. The distinction is missed, and our user is phished.
The solutions to this problem are application and context specific, though there are some good ideas floating around that seem to have wide applicability. In the Waterken Petname Toolbar proposal (see below), the alleged name is always "untrusted". It's hard to fail to recognize that this isn't PayPal, though a sufficiently unobservant user might completely disregard the petname and nickname information and get phished anyway. There is limited informal evidence that users really do notice things like this (see below), and so the most cynical of skeptics are probably mostly wrong though they are probably slightly right: if you send a million phishing emails to each of a million users, some day some one will be tired and unobservant and will get phished. If sending a trillion emails like this is cheap enough, phishing will remain profitable, so part of the solution needs to be making a trillion emails ever so slightly expensive. Regardless, multiple experiments with multiple user interfaces would be a good idea to help develop user interfaces that maximize the probability that a tired unobservant user will notice a warning.
There are a couple of user interface issues. The petnames must be unambiguously distinct from nicknames. This seems easy to do, through colors, fonts, additional text, and separate fields for the nickname as examples of pieces of strategy.
More difficult is the following problem: Petname creation must be both painless (or people will reject the whole idea) and reliably mimicry-free (it would be a disaster to have both PayPal and PayPa1 as petnames!). Is this one of those hopeless tradeoffs that the computer security community enjoys throwing in its own face? To the author, this problem looks solvable; indeed, it seems hard to believe that this cannot be solved with some reasonable satisfaction, given the number of user interface ideas for this problem floating around. But implementations and experiments, will be required to identify minimally intrusive, adequately effective solutions.
Here are two example ideas for petname creation user interface that seem generally applicable. First is to compose the default choice for the petname out of a combination of contextual information and nickname information. Suppose we click on a link to "PayPal" in the Consumer Reports site (that is, the site that we have assigned the nickname, "Consumer Reports"). This takes us to a new site that proposes the nickname "PayPal". The system clearly marks that we do not have a petname for this site and proposes "Consumer Reports's PayPal". The user can press a button to accept this name, edit it, or, with algorithmic chicanery left as an exercise for the reader, press a second button that says, "let me use the raw nickname PayPal as the petname." This system still depends on the user remembering the petnames he has already assigned and noticing at the time of creation of the new petname, whether he already has a similar name in his list. This by itself is probably enough to protect the PayPal pet name -- most of us who gave PayPal a petname would have no trouble remembering we had done so, and if we saw something that looked like "PayPal", we'd notice we were at risk of confusing ourselves if we accepted a similar name -- but again, we are dealing with humans, so the process is imperfect. To support the human being, we'd want to use a font that was as ambiguous as possible during petname creation, mixing up 1 and l and I in a hopeless mess, so that we could be confident that our petnames looked unique no matter what ridiculous font got used later.The second idea is to have a weak algorithm for comparing a candidate petname in the act of being accepted to the existing petnames. We explicitly call this a weak algorithm because it can be pretty poor. It is quite acceptable for the algorithm to pop a list of "similar petnames" that is overly extensive, i.e., it is fine to show names that the human easily recognizes as distinct. The serious error is to fail to show names that the human might confuse. Comparing Paypal to Paypa1, a sample algorithm might notice that the names are of similar length and have three letters in common ("p", "a", and "y"), and say, "that's similar enough to worry me, I'm gonna check with the boss." The algorithm for noticing similarity between private petnames is under much less pressure to be perfect than is the algorithm for a Certificate Authority when deciding whether to award the name "pawpal" when the name "paypal" already exists. A CA might like to prevent mimicry, but to do so must tread a difficult line with abolishing huge swaths of namespace to ensure similarities don't arise.
Humans have been using parts of
petname systems since before the
invention of the written word. Human faces
were used as keys. These keys resisted forgery far better than most
things that pass for security today on computers (except in episodes
of Mission Impossible, and the occasional Shakespearian comedy like
12th Night). The referral, "Joe, this is my son Billy,
he's great with a club," transferred both a key/alleged-name pair and a
purposeful trust recommendation. The recipient of this referral
typically accepts the alleged name as a petname, though in some cases
the recipient may instead choose other petnames, such as, "Bob's big
dumb dufus of a son", which is a strictly private petname.
These physical world petname
systems were sufficiently different
from computer-based petname systems that it is dangerous to draw too
many conclusions from them. But the similarities are sufficiently
intriguing that the author feels compelled to mention them. More
comprehensive comparison and contrasting of physical petnaming to
computer-based petnaming is left as an entertainment for the reader.
Trademark law is not a petname system. When civilization started creating entities that did not have unforgeable faces (like Apple Computer), we settled on a legal system that attempted, with fair success, to enforce (that is, secure) purpose-unique memorable global IDs for small numbers of entities. It is hard to map trademarks onto petname systems for comparison, but an attempt seems in order. The trademark-purpose pair is the key, made unforgeable by government coercion. It is important to note that the trademark itself is not the key: Apple Computer and Apple Music both used the trademark Apple for decades, without conflict, until Apple Computer entered the music business.
The trademark by itself is the
nickname: Apple Computer thinks of itself as "Apple". Petnames are
absent. Mimicry is prevented by the same
government action as forgery, and indeed the trademark system makes no
distinction between forgery and mimicry (which helps explain why the
distinction is so blurred in most computer security discussions).
Trademark law depends on the
legal system to disambiguate "similar
purpose". This is expensive, and consequently trademark law can only
apply to "small" numbers of "big" entities. The name Mark Miller is
covered by trademark law, but only in explicitly recognizing that all
people who have that name may use it, i.e., trademark law recognizes
non-uniqueness in this case. On the Web, the number of entities with
whom we
would like to associate trust/vulnerability relationships is extremely
large; indeed,
one of the failures of the Web today is that we cannot construct as
many such associations as we would like. Those relationships span
multiple legal jurisdictions, further complicating the trademark
system. Trademarking simply does not scale well enough for the age of the Web, despite its success in earlier eras.
Buddy lists for instant messengers follow the logic of petname systems quite closely, though all the security properties are discarded in current implementations. Each entity gets a globally unique id, rooted in the domain name of the messaging service, which fills the role of "key". A weak effort is made to make the id both human memorable on the one hand, and unforgeable, on the other. The id is used as a nickname; being sometimes memorable, it works well enough often enough. The same id is used as a key even though it is easy to forge (either through man in the middle attacks or password attacks). The important point is that, once the user puts a petname into the buddy list, all references to the id are represented using the petname: you can connect to the entity using the petname, and when the entity connects to you, the petname displays.
Buddy lists are so intuitive, people easily learn how to use them with neither instruction nor documentation. An instant messenger that used true keys, true nicknames, and enforced good security properties would be virtually indistinguishable in user-interface presentation from existing systems; indeed, if one used an object-capability style of key, the biggest difference would be the absence of passwords, an actual usability improvement. Informal experimentation on a global scale in the instant messaging arena suggests the petname architecture embodied in buddy lists can work well.
Polaris is a derivative of CapDesk that defends the Windows operating system against several interesting classes of attack. Polaris uses pet texts similar to the CapDesk pet texts for marking the windows. Polaris was used in a larger set of pilot programs than CapDesk ever experienced. One result of the pilots that proved a pleasant surprise was that people were aware of and sensitive to the petname markings. This supports the hope that petnames could indeed strongly impact phishing.
The DNS system is perhaps the most widely used naming architecture in
the world. There are a couple of ways of viewing DNS from a petname
perspective. The most clarifying view is perhaps the view of the domain
name as both key and
nickname rolled into one -- a unique nickname that must try to support
properties. One powerful way to describe DNS is to say that DNS strives
to make keys that are memorable. In other words, it is a direct
violation of Zooko's triangle. And that is why mimicry is possible. Mimicry is an emergent
property of the violation of Zooko's
triangle. Mimicry emerges as
the system grows to large scale. DNS is the leading example of the
Several of the other examples
here treat the domain name as a trusted-path key.
Domain names are forgeable, but in practice they seem to be resistant
enough to forgery to be useful. Judging by the
prevalence of mimicry-based phishing over DNS forgery, it seems clear
that forgery is not the weakest link in DNS; mimicry is.
Browser bookmarks combined with DNS have a remarkable similarity to a petname system...with a fatal flaw. Think of the domain name as both a key and a nickname (which is not fatal to a petname system, remember the nickname has no security properties, it can be gibberish or massively oversubscribed or mimicked without violation...though the petname system has a better chance of success if users understand that the nickname has no security properties, which is another problem with DNS). With this characterization, the bookmark can be thought of as a private name that points at the key, suggested by the nickname. It sounds like a petname system.
However, the bookmark is not a
petname. Technically, it is a
lambda name. As noted earlier,
a true petname is a
two-way mapping: any
reference to the key is represented in the user's world as the petname.
However, lambda names like bookmarks only map from the private name to
the key, with no mapping back. When you follow a bookmark to a page, or
take any other path to get to the page, the domain name is used
throughout the user interface as the "name" for presentation to the
user, a fundamental violation of petname logic. Despite this violation,
bookmarks plus DNS demonstrate how even a partial implementation
of petnames will deliver some of the defense against
mimicry that a full petname system can achieve. Any person who uses the
strategy of reading an email allegedly from PayPal, and then clicking
on their existing bookmark to go to PayPal rather than following the
email-embedded link, is getting a security benefit derived from the
partial implementation of petnames afforded by bookmarks.
OpenPGP keys carry nicknames with them, and the user can replace nicknames with a name of the user's choosing, which would be a petname. When an entity's key is observed by the software, the pet name is properly presented, i.e., the petname is properly bidirectional. The Web of Trust supplies an interesting way to associate these keys with purposeful trust, by asking other entities who have vouched for the new entity, what they recommend as a trust relationship.
With all these features,
OpenPGP supplies a true petname system
architecture. OpenPGP has not been tested by phishing attacks yet.
Since all the basic elements are there, the biggest question would be,
how must the user interfaces for applications using OpenPGP evolve to
face such a threat? This is another reminder that user interface is as
critical for any practical security architecture as is the crypto. A
security system whose user interface is written by cryptographers is no
more likely to succeed than a security system whose encryption
machinery is written by user interface designers.
Authorities create
nickname/key pairs. The certificates
share with pgp keys the cryptographic strength to ensure
unforgeability. The claim is made that, because the nickname is unique
within the CA, interesting security properties may be ascribed to the
nickname. Petnames are not included in the scheme. It looks a fair bit
like DNS, with the CA root playing the role of the DNS root servers.
How do CA-based
systems fair against mimicry? The similarity to DNS is certainly
suspicious. A generous author
might just say, CA defense against mimicry is controversial in theory
and untested in practice. A less generous author would probably say no
more, since such an author would still desire people who
think that CAs are beneficial to read the rest of the paper.
In the presence of the popular
"Just click Ok" mantra for certs, adding a CA
to the system may introduce new vulnerabilities. Two CA-based
attack examples: "We here at Verisign are upgrading our root key.
follow the link and click Ok." Alternatively, "We here at Paypal have
into a legal dispute with Entrust. We are using a new CA that is every
bit as trustworthy. Please follow the link and click Ok." Brief
informal experimentation with the author's 83-year-old mother-in-law
suggests that an email asserting Paypal has changed domain names is
easily recognized as an attack. However, email asserting a cert has
changed is
viewed as a foolish demand impeding progress -- just click OK.
As noted earlier, user
interface design is every bit as important to
security as the strength of the keys. Simply stripping the trustbar
tool of the inevitable plethora of CA-related dialog boxes would
significantly improve usability, increasing the chances that real human
beings would tolerate it; all the security properties of a
petname system without CAs would remain intact. The Trustbar itself
pops dialogs at the user (sometimes several in a row, if the entity
maintaining a web site decides to use different certs for different
pages, as discovered during the author's experiments). Private
with the designers of the trustbar suggest that evolution in a
direction reducing the frequency and annoyance of the dialogs is a
How well will the current implementation of the trustbar work in
practice? Only
experimentation can tell.
PNML is an XML proposal for using petname systems ubiquitously. In a chat system, if Bob made a reference to Alice in the text he wrote to Ted, and if Alice is Bob's petname for a person known to Ted with petname Carol, the sent reference to Alice would be converted via the magic of computers into a received reference to Carol. It would take more effort to build PNML into an existing browser than to integrate the Waterken Petname Toolbar, but the results would be interesting indeed.
Many informal experiments with systems identified here that use parts of petname systems have demonstrated that they can be intuitive and easy to use (Buddy Lists, Browser bookmarks, the petname toolbar, and the CapDesk and Polaris secure desktops). A user who understands his petname system and is alert to the information it conveys can be extremely hard to trick using mimicry, making that user a difficult target for phishing. Experimentation is required to determine how much less vulnerable to phishing the typical user would become given a petname system. Experimentation with petnames for web browsers does not have to be expensive; both the Trustbar and the Waterken Petname Toolbar are ready now, both for usage and for further experimentation by building variations based on the open-source code.
Following are key features of a petname system. If an implementation of a naming system for an application does not include these properties, it is not fully following the logic of petnames:
Petname System: a naming system in which, for each individual entity recognized by another entity, three interlocking names solve Zooko's Triangle. The three elements are the key (global and secure), the nickname (global and memorable), and the petname (secure and memorable).
Petname: This term has three distinct but related usages in the literature on petnames. Sometimes it is used as a shorthand for referring to the petname system as a whole. Sometimes it is used as a direct reference to the naming element that is secure, memorable, and private to the individual who refers to another entity; this is the meaning used throughout this paper. Sometimes "petname" is used to refer to the textual component of a petname (which may have graphical elements as well). In contexts outside this paper, the reader must ascertain the correct interpretation from that context. True petnames are 2-way associative: given a petname in a specific application on a specific machine, you can acquire the key, and given the key, you can acquire the petname. The mapping back from the key to the petname is always performed when presenting data to the user. This makes petnames different from lambda names, which only map from the name to the key.
Pet Text: A petname, or part of a petname, that is textual. The owner of a machine upon which a petname resides can edit the text to modify the petname.
Pet Graphic: A petname, or part of a petname, that is graphical.
Pet Face: A petname, or part of a petname, that is an image of a human face. Pet faces are intended to exploit the special powers of the human mind for associating purposeful trust with another human.
Purposeful Trust: The type of trust that is needed before a person should empower another entity. Examples: "I trust Entity X to hold N dollars for me, and to perform transfers of that money on my behalf." And, "I trust Entity Y to tell me whether or not to buy a car from Entity Z." We speak of purposeful trust to distinguish it from the many other things computer people call "trust" these days. CAs, for example supply "trust". But CAs do not tell you if you can trust a certificate owner to pick up your garbage, or handle your stock portfolio. It's just "trust".
Forgery: An exact duplication of a key, such that neither human nor computer can distinguish the duplicate from the original.
Mimicry: A duplication of a name that is good enough to fool the human being, though not good enough to fool a computer. A famous example is the name paypa1 (with a "one" as the final character), which mimics paypal quite well. The quality of the mimicry of paypal depends on the ambiguity of the font in use, and the alertness of the human reading the message.Lambda Names: Names that are memorable, secure, and private, but which only map from the name to the key: given the lambda name, you can retrieve the key, but given the key there is no mapping back to the name. Objects in programming languages follow this logic: the programmer gives the object a name in the program, but once compiled, neither the object nor much of anything else knows how to get back to the name (though this is an imperfect example, since debuggers can indeed map back). Bookmarks in browsers are another example: the bookmark maps to a url, but once you go to the url, the url is presented directly to the user, not the name embodied in the bookmark. Consequently bookmarks cannot help against phishing.

Killer car apps of the year
Automakers are rolling out cutting-edge high-tech features and migrating last year's hot new items more broadly across their model lines with increasing frequency these days. With the playing field being relatively level among most comparable models with regard to performance, comfort and quality, manufacturers are leveraging the latest technology to help their vehicles stand out in a crowded market and to help give motorists a reason to trade in their existing rides for the latest models.
Backup Collision Intervention
Infiniti takes the now commonplace backup camera to new levels of complexity in its 2013 JX35 luxury crossover SUV. First, an Around-View Monitor with Moving Object Detection shows both a 360-degree image of the area outside the vehicle and delivers visual and audible warnings if the system "sees" moving objects crossing within the front or rear views when pulling out of a parking space or backing up. A new Backup Collision Intervention System adds another layer of safety to the system with the ability to automatically engage the brakes to help avoid a collision with vehicles and objects crossing its path while in reverse gear the driver either can't see or isn't reacting to quickly enough.
Magic Vision Control
The all-new Mercedes-Benz SL has a super-innovative windshield wiper system named Magic Vision Control, which, instead of shooting water from the front hood deck, shoots warm water out of mini-jets built into the windshield-wipers.
This stops excess water from overshooting and missing the windshield and it also stops the driver from being temporarily blind as traditional jets shoot out windshield washer solution. The Magic Vision Control System is programed to behave differently under different situations.For instance in winter summer or depending on whether the cabriolet top is up or down, it will behave differently. The system automagically varies the amount of water output depending upon speed, ambient temperature, and current driving conditions which include ambient temperature.
2013 Mercedes-Benz SL Roadster
Front Center-Mounted AirbagThe redesigned 2013 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia seven-passenger crossover SUVs include the industry's first center-mounted airbag. The tubular-shaped restraint deploys between the front seats and is designed to help protect the driver from injury in collisions on the passenger's side when he or she is the only occupant. It's also expected to provide additional protection to the driver and front passenger in a side-impact crash and help deliver additional safety benefits in rollover situations.
The front center airbag will be introduced on the Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Chevrolet Traverse midsize crossovers in the 2013 model.
Hands-Free Power LiftgateThe latest twist on remote vehicle access uses neither a keyfob control nor a pushbutton. Rather, the 2013 Ford Escape compact crossover SUV allows those burdened with baggage to engage the available power-operated liftgate via a simple kicking motion with one's foot under the rear bumper (provided the car's keyfob is in a pocket or purse). The same process closes the hatch. Mercedes-Benz offers a similar system for hands-free opening and closing the trunk in its 2013 SL-Class hardtop roadster
Ford Escape SUV features a segment-first hands-free power liftgate that opens with a simple kicking gesture under the rear bumper and without the need to fumble for a key.
Inductive ChargingIn addition to added ways to connect with mobile phones and other devices, at least one car is able to keep such electronics charged without having to plug them in. Available on the 2013 Dodge Dart as a Mopar dealer-installed accessory is a new inductive wireless charging system allows driver to simply set electronic devices in a specified charging zone to keep the juice flowing.
Pushbutton Gear SelectorWith many automatic transmissions now being electronically controlled, the old analog shift lever is fast becoming superfluous and is making way to alternative means of putting a car in gear. To that end, the midsize 2013 Lincoln MKX brings back the pushbutton gear selector – a feature the industry hasn't seen since the early 1960's. This new twist on an old concept frees up center console space by providing buttons to engage park, neutral, reverse and forward gears. Similarly, the 2013 Ram 1500 full-size pickup truck is the first vehicle this side of a Jaguar to offer a dial-in gear selector instead of a shift lever
Tactile-Warning Safety SeatThe 2013 Cadillac XTS full-size luxury sedan affords a set-of-the-pants approach to accident avoidance with its new Safety Alert Seat that engages pulse patterns on the left or right side of the cushion when the car is, say, drifting beyond highway markers or when it's in close proximity to other cars or obstacles while parking. Vibrations on both sides of the cushion would alert the driver to threats from the front or rear, such as when the car is coming up too quickly on traffic ahead. The system works in tandem with other visual alerts, and General Motors says its research demonstrates it can quickly and accurately focus the driver's attention to the direction of impending hazards.
The all-new Cadillac XTS will be the industry's first car to feature directional tactile sensation to warn drivers of potential crash threats.
Text Messaging AssistantWith distracted driving now being a major cause of accidents, and cities/states banning use of handheld devices, automakers are looking at ways to help drivers remain connected, but as safely as possible. To that end, Nissan is debuting a Hands-Free Text Messaging Assistant as part of the new NissanConnect smartphone connectivity system in the 2013 Altima. The system will read text messages aloud to users and enable them to respond, either by voice command or via a steering wheel-mounted button that sends preset text like "driving, can't text," "on my way" or "running late."
'Zero Gravity' SeatsAs anyone who drives long distances can attest, sitting in a comfortable driver's seat can make the difference between an enjoyable and intolerable journey.
To help reduce fatigue on road trips and grueling commutes, Nissan is introducing so-called zero-gravity seats on its 2013 midsize Altima sedan. With a design based on posture research from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the new seats utilize a unique articulated seat shape with continuous support from the pelvis to the chest and are said to help reduce muscular and spinal loads, and improve blood flow, thus reducing fatigue.

Creative research laboratory - Lyon
Theater / Dance / Circus / Music
Laboratoire international
de création artistique – Lyon
From 27 to 30 March
Performance / Théâtre
Creating numbers, sequences, independent bits, accepting the disparate, accepting that yes, one thing does not depend on another. . . (and yet. . .). Expressing a kind of time that is not a performance but an evening during which life goes on, stops all of a sudden then continues.
A place where we drink, where we talk, interrupted by an involuntary striptease: a man sings a spoken song, "nothing's holding together, I'm hanging on by a thread, I'm no longer attached to you, in fact I'm leaving . . ." (thanks to carefully attached strings and his moving forward), his hair slowly comes off, his scarf slides off, his fly unzips by itself, he moves forward, his belt unbuckles and slides down his hips to the floor, his pants fall down, the buttons fly off his shirt, his t-shirt uncovers his shoulders then his chest and belly while lasciviously molding to his body. . .
A woman arrives, she catches a man and they start a strange scuffling, blending their bodies, melting into and carrying each other holistically and sensually. Someone else starts a long speech about his speech defects of all kinds, afflicted with palilalia, stuttering, slips of the tongue and other ills, he evacuates them by listing them in a sort of virtuosity.
Le cabaret calamiteux is just a little moth-eaten curtain at the back of a bar that opens and closes and, for as long as they're there, the faces that appear and disappear give a sort of sad party, a song of happy desperation.
And all the lost are there, the limpers, the defective, the inert, the frightened, the sensual, the idiots, the monsters, the dumbfounded, those who don't remember what they wanted to say, those who've washed up here or somewhere else, those who constantly wash up, who wash up in front of everyone, as if by accident.

"Help me!!"
Io (イオ?) is a Persona in the series.
According to Greek mythology, Io was the priestess to Hera, wife of the thunder god Zeus. Zeus took a liking to her, and to avoid detection from his jealous wife, he shrouded the place where he seduced Io with clouds. Naturally, Hera was suspicious of the cloud's formation as well as Zeus' apparent absence from Mount Olympus. When she descended, she found Zeus as a white cloud alongside a beautiful heifer. Hera knew full well that the heifer was Io, turned by Zeus. To trap him, Hera demanded that Zeus give her the heifer as a present. Zeus had no choice but to present heifer Io to Hera, who assigned the multiple-eyed giant Argus Panoptes as her guard. Zeus sent Hermes to lull Argus to sleep, and he set Io free. Io made her home in Egypt.
- Persona 3 / FES / Portable: Lovers Arcana
- Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth: Lovers Arcana
Persona 3Edit
Io is the initial Persona of Yukari Takeba. It awakens not long before the Protagonist's Persona. It evolves into Isis.
Persona 3Edit
Persona Q: Shadow of the LabyrinthEdit
- As Yukari's initial persona Io's history and actions mimic Yukari's own, both were saddled with heavy burdens inadvertently caused by their fathers, were severely punished for their fathers' crimes, were abandoned, found themselves at a crossroads in the middle of their journeys but ultimately found it within themselves to continue marching forward and finally fix the problems left for them. Io also shares loose ties to Yukari's ultimate persona Isis as she found the answers she needed in Egypt, the birthplace of Isis' mythology.
- Io's appearance with her eyes closed and bound to the heifer foreshadows Yukari's own feelings and desire to forget and look away from her past, but like Io, she is still bound to her past and can never truly move on until she finds the answers she seeks. In a literal sense, Io's depiction is a reference to the actual myth she was derived from where the god Zeus transformed her into a cow in other to disguise her from his wife Hera.
- Io and Hathor (the wife of Isis' son Horus) coincidentally share the same cow motif.
- The Zodiac sign Taurus can be seen between the nostrils of the "heifer", indicating Io's association with the constellation.
- Yukari is a Libra, not Taurus. But another party member in the Persona series of the Lovers Arcana, Lisa Silverman, is indeed a Taurus.
- Io appears as a palette swap for Tomoe Gozen when Chie Satonaka is using her Yukari palette.
- In Persona 3 The Movie: Winter of Rebirth, Yukari has a nightmare of Io trying to kill her.

Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by out-of-control cell growth, and pancreatic cancer occurs when this uncontrolled cell growth begins in the pancreas. These abnormal cells continue to divide beyond the normal confines of the pancreas and form lumps or masses of tissue called tumors. Depending on where the tumors are in the pancreas, they can interfere with the normal functions of the pancreas resulting in diabetes or digestion problems.
When a tumor stays in one confined spot and demonstrates limited growth, it is generally considered to be benign.
More dangerous, or malignant, tumors form when the cancer cells move to other parts of the body through the blood or lymph systems. When a tumor successfully spreads to other parts of the body and grows, invading and destroying other healthy tissues, it is said to have metastasized.
Cancer of the pancreas accounts for approximately 2% of all cancers and is the fourth most frequent cause of cancer death. The National Cancer Institute estimates that more than 46,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer per year , and that 39,000 Americans will die from this disease per year.

Guadalupe Tubing Checklist & FAQ
Things you need to know
- What type of shoes should I wear?TENNIS SHOES, AQUA-SHOES, RIVER SANDALS with Straps or other "secure footwear" are needed to protect your feet against sharp objects, cuts, scrapes, bruises and the rocky and often slippery river bottom while walking to and from the entry/exit points for tubing on the Guadalupe River. NOTE: Flip Flops are not recommended for river tubing as they slip and slide easily when wet or muddy and offer very little protection for your feet… they also slip off your feet easily and float away before you can retrieve them… leaving you with bare and unprotected feet!
- Sun Protection SUN BLOCK or SUN SCREEN should be applied both BEFORE and DURING each float trip or any time you are in the sun for extended periods. It's a good idea to bring a white short sleeve T-shirt and put it on if you begin to sunburn (see 3a below). We also sell sun block if you forget yours.A CAP, HAT or VISOR and SUNGLASSES will help shield your face, eyes and head from the rays of the hot Texas sun.
- What type of clothing / swimsuit should I wear?Wear Appropriate Clothing – IMPORTANT: DO NOT wear clothing that will tangle and/or restrict your ability to swim, which could cause you to drown. DO NOT wear long pants, long sleeve shirts, scarves, coats, jackets, long dresses, Burkhas, Sari Dress Salwar Kameez, large, baggy, loose or heavy clothing of any type. Make sure your arms and legs have free movement at all times while you are tubing or when you are in the water.
- What about small children?CHILDREN MUST be at least five (5) years old or older and MUST be accompanied by an adult for tubing on the river. Life jackets / vests are recommended for all children and all non swimmers and are provided "on request" at no charge with your tube rental. There are NO LIFE GUARDS ON DUTY, you will be on your own, use caution, think safety first! Parents & Guardians – you are responsible for your children… please watch your children at ALL times.Whitewater Sports reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. When River Levels are above "Recreational Flows", the River becomes more challenging and dangerous for children, seniors and non-swimmers, in which case we may not rent tubes to anyone who is at a higher risk by our estimations.
IMPORTANT… Guadalupe river tubing, swimming and river activities have both inherent and unknown risks and dangers. These include but are not limited to injury or loss of life.
The Guadalupe river has no life guards and you will be on your own, use caution, think safety first! You will be asked to sign a waiver and release of liability for yourself and anyone else in your group before tubing on the Guadalupe river with Whitewater Sports. Life jackets / vests are available for customers who request one (at no charge), please ask for a life jacket when you get your tube(s). It is highly recommended that you always go tubing with 2 or more people to keep an eye on each other and act as a "buddy system" in case help is needed.
- Check to make sure the river is OPEN for business!CHECK OUR WEBSITE right before you get in the car to head our way to make sure the River is Open. Sometimes a significant amount of rainfall up river (in the Upper Guadalupe River Valley) will cause the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to increase River Levels at Canyon Lake Dam which are no longer safe for Tubing… generally they give the Public at least a 12 hour advance notice before increasing river levels in large increments. Any changes in river conditions that would affect the safety of Guadalupe River Tubing will be posted immediately on our Website. This is very rare when it happens, but it does happen and thus the reason why we suggest checking our Website right before you head our way. Also while you're on our Website, it would be a good idea to quickly check our Local Forecast for any drastic changes in weather conditions.
- Tell Someone Where You Are Going!Tell your friends and family where you are going and your intentions. Make a "Float Plan" and let someone know your plans! Tell them the name of the place you are going and how long you will be gone.VERY IMPORTANT!
- DRINK PLENTY OF WATERDRINK PLENTY OF WATER while tubing on the Guadalupe River to help prevent dehydration. Whitewater Sports has bottled water for sale if you forget yours!
- Alcoholic BeveragesALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ARE OK and legal on the Guadalupe River. Anyone of "legal drinking age" can drink while they are River Tubing, however we ask that you PLAY IT SAFE and use your good judgment. Keep it SAFE and FUN for everyone! Drink Responsibly! If you get too drunk and out of control, you stand a good chance of getting arrested… again, use your good judgment, have a good time and keep it safe for everyone! Play it safe by having a designated sober driver. NOTE: NO Public consumption of ALCOHOL before 12 noon on Sundays, it's Illegal… wait till 12:01 to start drinking in public on Sundays!
- Containers and CoolersGLASS CONTAINERS or STYROFOAM COOLERS are NOT ALLOWED on the Guadalupe River BY LAW and will be confiscated, with possible arrest(s) and fines up to $500. Coolers & Ice chests may be checked for Glass and or Styrofoam at any random time or point on the river by Law Enforcement Officials.
- Parking PARK ONLY in designated areas, cars in undesignated areas may be towed at the owner's expense.
- Do not take your car keys!DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR KEYS, house keys, or any other keys on the River… keys don't float… Locksmiths are expensive! We have a safe keep area for your keys. Always leave your keys with a Whitewater Sports attendant.
- Do not take any valuables on the river!DO NOT TAKE ANY VALUABLES ON THE RIVER as most items sink and are never found! Again, always leave your keys with a Whitewater Sports attendant and place your cell phones, jewelry and other valuables in a safe place! Phones don't float and do not work very well, if at all, after they have been submerged under water. Many people have lost Wedding rings and other types of rings because fingers tend to shrink after being in the water for awhile, allowing ring(s) to slip off fingers into the river, never to be found again. We urge you to side with caution and do not wear any jewelry while tubing!
- Secure your eyewear to your head!ATTACH & SECURE PRESCRIPTION EYE GLASSES, EYEWEAR and SUNGLASSES to your face, head or body while tubing. Anyone wearing glasses should have a headband, neckband or float bobber of some sort, preferably the floating type that attaches to each arm or stem of your glasses to prevent your eyeglasses from falling off your face and sinking into the river should you flip your tube over. Whitewater Sports sells the Float Bobbers that attach to eyeglasses or sunglasses just for this reason. We suggest you bring your own Float Bobber with you for your eyeglasses…however if you forget, we should have some in stock.
- Concerning Medical ConditionsPeople with Medical Conditions should consult their Doctor before going tubing and subjecting themselves to lengthy exposures in the hot Texas Sun. River Tubing is an Outdoor Activity that can be strenuous on certain individuals with Medical Conditions. Stay hydrated – drink plenty of water and follow your Doctor's orders! If you need to take your medications with you, be sure and pack them in a water proof or water tight container or a zip lock bag and then secure them in a safe place so you can take them at the proper intervals as prescribed by your Doctor. Before getting on the River, please inform your family members and/or friends about your medical condition so if something should happen to you, they will be ready to take charge and act quickly in case of an emergency!
- Concerning Private Property on the RiverRope Swings, Bridges, Trees and Cliffs line the banks of the Guadalupe River on "PRIVATE PROPERTY" and cross the Guadalupe River at various points. Many people see these interesting points and immediately want to jump, dive or swing into the River… and in their excitement, they fail to check below for shallow water, large underlying rocks or other hazards. Serious injuries and death have occurred because these individuals failed to exercise caution and check things out first. Please check all areas BELOW before diving or jumping into unfamiliar waters. Even after checking below, it is very difficult for the average individual to determine "for certain", that the water below is deep enough to safely dive or jump into, or that objects are far enough away from the point of impact to clear them safely…. and it is nearly impossible for anyone who has been drinking alcohol to judge things in this situation. We recommend to our customers to bypass or avoid any of these high risk ventures for their own safety. We urge everyone to use their common sense in this matter and again, please do not Trespass on Private Properties, violators can be fined up to $500.
- DO NOT LITTER!Dispose of all trash in litter bags. Dump all trash in designated receptacles. Help keep our rivers, parks and the state of Texas beautiful. Whitewater Sports supplies a W.O.R.D. (Water Oriented Recreation District) mesh trash bag for your empty cans and trash with each "cooler tube" rental or upon request if you do not rent a cooler tube. Again, please DO NOT LITTER! Violators can be fined up to $500. "DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!"
- Dogs on the RiverDogs are welcome to go tubing on the Guadalupe River and ride on our shuttles with you via Whitewater Sports, however, you are 100% completely responsible for the safety and well being of your dog at all times, including its behavior towards other people, other dogs and/or animals…Whitewater Sports is not responsible for your dog(s) in any regard or manner. Not all dogs are suited for river tubing (and for some humans as well, as mentioned above)… there are both inherent and unknown risks and dangers on the Guadalupe River…these include but are not limited to injury or loss of life to you or your dog. Know your dog's abilities and make your decisions accordingly… PLEASE NOTE: Whitewater Sports has a "NO REFUND POLICY", so if your dog does not like River Tubing, there are NO REFUNDS! Some people would like their dog(s) to wear a life jacket while tubing and/or swimming…We DO NOT have, nor do we offer life jackets for DOGS, please bring your own Doggy life jacket IF your dog needs or requires one. Dogs have sharp claws and occasionally puncture their tube, because of this, there will be a $25 cash charge for your dog's tube should your dog puncture or lose its tube or if it gets stolen. Most Dogs don't carry cash with them, so you "the owner" will have to cover the charges or expenses for your canine companion. Please note, there is a county ordinance for Comal County, that requires all dogs to be on a leash and a fine of up to $500 for dogs running loose.
To ensure a safe & fun visit to the river, please print this page and give a copy to everyone in your party to review BEFORE you head to the river!

George S. Patton Quotes About GivingQuotes about: Giving
When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can't run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn't fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag. As for the types of comments I make, sometimes I just, By God, get carried away with my own eloquence.
Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired. When you were younger the mind could make you dance all night, and the body was never tired... You've always got to make the mind take over and keep going.
From time to time there will be some complaints that we are pushing our people too hard. I don't give a good Goddamn about such complaints. I believe in the old and sound rule that an ounce of sweat will save a gallon of blood. The harder we push, the more Germans we will kill. The more Germans we kill, the fewer of our men will be killed. Pushing means fewer casualties. I want you all to remember that.

Recent new arrival from Nyon and Geneva, from Tabac La Couronne in Nyon and from the flagship Davidoff store in Geneva.
First, from the Davidoff store, my dear wife selected upon certain special requests from me and appropriate suggestions from the courteous and knowledgeable personnel, the all new Davidoff Nicaragua Diademas, shown here in on the left side of the above picture in it's elegant 4 units box, two Flor de Selva El Galan (upper left side), four Bolivar Bellicoso Finos (down centre), one Hoyo de Monterrey Grand Epicure Edicion Limitada 2013 (right centre) and four Davidoff Puro d'Oro Magnificos (centre far right). Can't wait to try those Diademas!
Then she kindly paid a visit to Tabac La Couronne à Nyon (a very nice and quiet little town located 30 km from Geneva on the north side of Lake Léman) where again were selected and suggested a few interesting cigars like this La Couronne Gran Reserva Robusto (upper right, brown and black leafy band), one Muchacha Pittbull Nicaragua (upper right, blue ribbon), one La Flor Dominicana Factory Press Limitado (centre left) and one Bolivar Presidente Edicion Limitada Suissa 2013 (down centre).
And finally this book:, « CIGARE ». Edited in 2012 by Éditions Fertilys, www.leseditionsfertilys.com. Authors: Alexis Aazam Zanganeh, Patrice Engelberts, Davolo Steiner, Philippe Jeanne & davidh. ISBN 978-2-8399-0947-1
A huge book measuring 30,5 x 30,5cm by 3cm thick and weighing 1,762 gr.. More than 150 pages of pure litterary pleasure, illustrated with beautiful images and photo-montages, comments by authors, philosophers, chroniquers all presented here on the highest quality paper. The world of cigars viewed from « Addiction to Zino » in a total and complete different way, light years away from the usual cigar Glossary. Artistic, meditative, sometimes as volatile as cigar smoke swirling in the air or as caustic as a vitola butt just extinguished, this book written in french deserves to be called a « Work of Art ». Here, Bob Dylan is cited within one or a few pages away from Aristote, Victor Hugo, Sacha Guitry, Shakespeare, Serge Gainsbourg, Alexandre Dumas, George Sand, Voltaire and a myriad of other diverse and brilliant authors, musicians, philosophers, writers etc. Each letter of the alphabet has it's theme word or more: from Addiction to Power to Death, Love. Cigar, Sex, Trinity, Civilisation, Aestetic, Unattendency, Intimacy, Passion, Rock, Cuba etc from which all texts, citations, photo-montages, images are melted together to form a single « painting » or collage for each one of these words. Simply gorgeous and magnificent. A must have for all beautiful and artistic book collector. Congratulations to it's authors! The absolute pairing? Reading this book while smoking your best vitola!
Thanks to my wife who shares with patience and altruism my passion for the Cigar.
Happy Smoke!

Whether you are a school district, a public or private university, a chain of early learning centers, or another type of educational enterprise, having a robust network infrastructure to support your communications and operational requirements is vital, and one that can scale to handle future traffic and growth.
