10. Speakers for Cyber Security Awareness Month
s the number of electronically completed communications, projects, and
financial transactions increases, so does cyber crime.
Cyber security issues can be merely frustrating as in the case of poorly
worded phishing messages, or they can have serious repercussions with
crimes ranging from electronic stalking and reputation bashing (also
known as cyber abuse) to stolen identity and credit card information.
You can increase your awareness of these risks and steps to protect
yourself and your family during October, National Cyber Security
Awareness Month (NCSAM).
IT is sponsoring a different topic each week, with lunch hour discussions by professional
security officers or panel talks by teens and parents.
1. September 28 - Facebook use and risks for teens
2. October 7 - Security vs. Privacy at home
3. October 13 - Password Management for all your accounts
4. October 22 - Identity Theft: Prevention and Recovery
5. October 30 - Credit Information Theft: Prevention, Monitoring,
and Recovery
Details can be found in the Rice Events Calendar or on the IT

Will there be enough water for all of us in the next 100 years? What is the current quality of our waterways? How can it improve and why? The Shell Center for Sustainability at Rice University considers these and other questions on water in the upcoming conference “Water in the Houston Metabolism – Houston’s Water Needs and Water Quality for this Century”. National and local experts come together to address questions about water, one of our vital resources, and Houston’s sustainable development, growth, natural environment, water, health, and the policies that can make a difference.
The Shell Center for Sustainability in partnership with the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy’s Science and Technology Program and the Health Policy Forum will host this second annual conference on sustainability in Houston series.
The all-day event will take place at Baker Hall on Tuesday, October 13, 2009.

Program, all of whom are looking to meet native English speakers.

required may be as little as an hour a week. We will match you up with one of our
students. Where and when you meet will be decided by you and your partner. No second
language is required, just the desire to meet a new friend and learn about other cultures.
