weight around on the job,shes got to throw out some attitude tomen who were hard to convince.The city employs 76 men in the job.“A lot of men said mean things to me and didnt want to help train me.But I would like to thankthe guys who were against me because they gave me even more inspiration to do it.she said.Not all the men were against her.Many of the male colleagues yelled out support as she did hertraining runs.One of her biggest tests was drizzly December morning.She first went down theHyde Street Hill,considered the most dangerous incline on the cable car routes,4I had to have thewill and I had to believe I could do it,“she said.“It was scary,but as I started going down full gripand felt that 1 was in control,I knew I was on my way,“Barnes already is a pioneer of sorts.Shestarted

conferenceon Tuesday.uChina,like many other countries,is very concerned about cyber security,said Liu Zhengrong,deputy director general of the Internet Affairs Bureau of the State Council Information Office.“China faces severe cyber security threats/5 Liu told participants here at the Worldwide CyberSecurity Summit,a gathering of government and business leaders from 40 countries hosted by theEastWest Institute think tank.International cooperation is much needed to safeguard international cyberspace,Liu said.But“Internet sovereignty of each country needs to be respected,“the Chinese

that any hackers will be held responsible for their actions,M he said.Liu said China itself is a“a major victim of cyber attacks and network viruses and has laws inplace to deal with hackers.Internet-related crimes(in China)are showing a steady upward trend,“Liu said.We suffer bigeconomic losses from hacking networks and viruses-around$1 billion dollars(6.8 billion yuan)ayear.”In 2009,Chinese law enforcement authorities investigated about 48,000 cases,a 37 percentincrease over 2008,he said.While China has a dynamic Internet population of more than 400 million users and millions ofbloggers,there is no 4absolute freedom on the Web,Liu said.I dont think there is absolute freedom in this world,“he said.When you are speaking via theInternet you must obey laws and respect

said.Last week,China tightened its State Secrets law,holding Internet and mobile phone operatorsresponsible for customers who try to leak State secrets.Some 400 government officials,business leaders
