    Steve Bellovin, another security expert, noted recently that one of risks of the new White House plan for cyber security is that it places too much emphasis on attribution. As Dr. Bellovin explains: The fundamental premise of the proposed strategy is that our serious Internet security problems are due to lack of sufficient authentication. That is demonstrably false. The biggest problem was and is buggy code. All the authentication in the world won\u27t stop a bad guy who goes around the authentication system, either by finding bugs exploitable before authentication is performed, finding bugs in the authentication system itself, or by hijacking your system and abusing the authenticated connection set up by the legitimate user. While I believe the White House, the Cyber Security Advisor, and the various participants in the drafting process have made an important effort to address privacy and security interests, I share Professor Bellovin’s concern that too much emphasis has been placed on promoting identification. I also believe that online identification, promoted by government, will be used for purposes unrelated to cyber security and could ultimately chill political speech and limit the growth of the Internet. Greater public participation in the development of this policy as well as a formal rulemaking on the White House proposal could help address these concerns

    The Journal of Mother Rose White: The Earliest History of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Joseph\u27s, Emittsburg, Maryland

    Get PDF
    Rosetta Landry White was the assistant to Elizabeth Seton and succeeded her as superioress of the Sisters of Charity for two nonconsecutive terms. Her journal, which covers the period from June 1809 until sometime around 1817, is given here. It records the community’s beginning in Baltimore, the hardships of the sisters’ first winter in Emmitsburg, and their adoption of the rules of the Daughters of Charity (with modifications). It also includes the sisters’ first novitiate and vows, and the first missions outside of Maryland, which were orphanages in Philadelphia and New York. Betty Ann McNeil’s introduction to the journal gives background on White, her career, and the early history of the Sisters of Charity

    Attribution in the Future Internet: The Second Summer of the Sisterhood

    Abstract: Attribution is the binding of data to an entity. An attribution framework is an infrastructure for managing attributes and their values. It consists of four components: a set of entities (actors) having an interest in attribution with respect to a transaction; a set of data to be attributed; the level of assurance with which values of attributes can be determined, and with which they can be associated with an entity; and a policy negotiation engine that actors use to negotiate an acceptable set of attributes and levels of assurance for their values in order to conduct a transaction (the "policy"). The actors include the sender and recipient, the sender's and recipient's organizations, ISPs, backbones, and political entities. This paper assumes that such a general attribution framework has been implemented. It examines the implications of such a framework upon the Internet, and upon transactions (specifically, the sending and receiving of packets) among actors. The embedding of attribution requirements in policies controlling communications between parties raises the question of who can communicate with whom. Specifically, how does the use and enforcement of policies based upon attributes affect users of the Internet? We examine this question in two contexts: that of the societal revolution known as "Arab Spring", and that of elections in the United States. We present requirements and the attributes that must be supplied to meet those requirements. We then examine some of the implications of supplying the attributes from the point of view of servers, clients, and intermediaries (such a ISPs and governments). We conclude with a discussion of when attribution is desirable, and when the inability to attribute actions is desirable

    Examination of Participation and Occupation After Cancer

    Cancer and treatments for cancer can have negative consequences on one’s ability to participate in life. Side effects of treatment, including pain, cognitive changes, and fatigue can last months to years after treatment. Community based support and services are emerging to fill a gap in care, specifically related to the psychosocial needs of the survivor. The purpose of this project was to provide information to Gilda’s Club Twin Cities (GCTC), a community based cancer support center, on the participation levels and quality of life (QOL) of their new members, with the secondary goal of collecting data on fatigue and cognitive issues. The study employed a cross sectional descriptive approach with self-report tools to examine the cancer population receiving services at a community based center. Standard, quantitative measures were used to describe participation in life activities, QOL, fatigue and cognition. Overall activity levels decreased 27% following a cancer diagnosis, with the subscale of high physical demand affected most. Participation in new activities was reported by 56%, with most of those activities falling into the instrumental category (doctor visits, resting). Social activities were identified as most important. QOL and fatigue mean scores were lower than the normative data for the general population and the cancer population in the United States. Opportunity and need exist in community based centers to provide effective programming related to participation levels, including fatigue management, role resumption, and the necessary performance skills to achieve personal participation goals. Occupational therapists should take the lead in supporting survivors in community based settings to achieve improved health, well being, and participation

    Sisters Before the Fall

    Get PDF
    This thesis comprises the first fourteen chapters of a fiction entitled Sisters Before the Fall , which brings to the forefront extreme, yet, real abuses faced by women in the Middle East and the northeastern countries of Africa. Those abuses are the result of social, political, and cultural influences, and include general repression of women and girls, female genital mutilation, marriage of prepubescent girls, and the slave trade. A female American volunteer and a female Hispanic doctor meet these women in a humanitarian compound in western Sudan. As they work together to overcome challenges brought on by war, they realize they are sisters, regardless of their backgrounds, experiences, and previous prejudices. Many female writers have written nonfiction and fictional works regarding these abuses, but no one has placed these abuses together in one narrative and included the elements of an American and Hispanic persons\u27 perspectives

    The Artist’s Loving Hand: The Travel Letters of Emily Eden, Isabella Bird, and MotherCatherine McAuley Written to Their Sisters in 19th Century Britain and Ireland

    The purpose of this study was to observe the qualities of and techniques enlisted by British and Irish women travel writers corresponding with their sisters who remained at home. Some of the most vivid and telling works regarding the travels of extraordinary women are contained in the letters that they wrote to their families. These letters often involved brief factual commentaries; detailed descriptions of friends, other family members, or strangers encountered on a journey; advice and encouragement for life continuing on as normal back at home; and pictures or paintings that could serve as postcards to capture visions of people and places as seen by the traveler. The travel letters of Emily Eden, Isabella Bird, and Mother Catherine McAuley are personal correspondences, and these letters provide insight into the nature of the writers, the lands in which they were visiting and traveling, life as they lived it in the nineteenth century, and the various relationships they fostered with their families, sisters, and individuals around them. Each female traveler I study is an artist in her own right, either through artistic skill at painting, or through her talent for verbal description and documentation, or else through the way she lived her life and encouraged her fellow sisters or other travelers. These women excelled at turning their lives and the lives of others into something different, special, and inspirational, and their letters reveal these exceptional gifts
