A comparative study of attacks against Corporate IIS and Apache Web Servers
It has been suggested that an attacker[1] will specifically target the Windows operating system. This research has shown that rather than this being the case an attacker will in fact not target Microsoft Windows, but rather seeks to avoid attacking Linux.
This study has shown significant support for the assertion that an attacker shies away from Linux and not that they aim to attack windows.
In particular, this study was designed to collect data on attacks against corporate Web servers. Unlike many of the other proceeding studies using honeypot systems, this experiment was designed to collect information on attacks against "secured" corporate systems.
Data analysis, Anova tables etc available on request.
It has been suggested that Microsoft Server Software is more likely to be attacked than Linux (Broersma, 2004) due to perceived insecurities within these systems. Previous research has focused on investigating the trends[2] against the underlying operating system as a whole. The purpose of this research was to investigate a single factor, namely, the Web server software as a vector for attack.
In this experiment, the systems were configured to appear as a financial services organisations client website. There were two systems, one running on Apache the other on IIS.
Unlike previous research, the focus of the experiment was to record the volume of attacks from individual sources. By this process, we were able to answer the following questions:
Which web server software product (IIS or Apache) will have the most "scans"[3]?
Which product will an attacker spend the most time with in an attempt to "break" or "crack" the software security settings?
What is the effect of hiding the host headers[4] on the servers?
By restricting access to the servers through a firewall to only the Web service on port 80 it was possible to demonstrate system attractiveness on a single defined service. The results of this experiment support the research efforts of the HoneyNet Project[5], Symantec[6], and the Internet Storm Centre[7]. In correlation to the prior research on this topic it was initially confirmed that and greater number of attacks were made against the Windows host.
Rather than focus on the survivability of a host, this experiment has been designed to determine the attractiveness of the host to an attacker. Unlike many of the experiments on this topic, which have preceded this one, the experiment has been designed to test the effect of obscuring the servers by hiding the host headers and information thus available to an attacker.
The interesting effect shown in this study was not that IIS on Windows was more attractive than Apache on Linux, but rather that Linux is less attractive to attackers.
Methodology used in the study
Description of experimental study
The research was based on a controlled trial with naturally randomized subjects.
Subjects (i.e. the attackers) discovered the systems based on their own activities. As there is no way to attract Subjects to the systems, it was expected that a random sample of the population of "hackers" on the Internet would find and explore the system at any given time. No details of the source of the attacks were analysed.
The analysis took the nature of the probes into account as well as the relative amount of time spent on each system.
Experimental procedure
The data collected from this experiment is based on two "honeynets" deployed to appear as the primary and DR site for a financial organisation. Each HoneyNet consisted of two servers configured to run VMWare. Each of the VMWare servers was configured to run a Web server using bridged network access.
The first virtual server was configured using Red Hat Linux 9.0 and Apache version 2. The second virtual server consisted of a Windows 2000 server system running IIS 6.0 each of the pages was configured to appear as a client portal in our fictitious financial services organisation.
To simulate a financial services organisation, these systems were installed behind a firewall, which only allowed access to TCP port 80. The HoneyNet was linked to "real"[8] servers from a fictitious organisation. Both Systems were configured to require authenticated access before allowing any access to a backend application.
Using the Snort IDS[9] software, the number of attacks and thus the effort expended by an attacker on each server was measured and recorded. The open source IDS product, SNORT[10], was used to collect the data. SNORT was installed on the underlying system. In this manner, it was not possible to detect the IDS deployment from the web server. All systems where patched fully before being deployed.
There where two phases to the experiment with the first phase involving leaving the web host headers unaltered. The second phase involved hiding the web host headers. By this, the server was stopped from advertising its software version. In the first phase, the systems responded as Apache version 2 and IIS. In the second phase, both systems where configured to respond with "Secure Web Server version 2.3"
Figure 1 - Network Diagram
The results were collected daily for the period of the test[11]. Informational data was excluded from the results. All attacks detected by SNORT were collected together and no effort has been made to correlate the levels of attack against each server.
Steps to physically control variation
In order to minimise variation, the HoneyNet Servers were configured as follows;
- Both systems were installed on matching hardware and domain addresses,
- Both systems were booted from a Knoppix[12] CD
- Both systems resided on the same switched network and be active at the same times
- The IDS system was not be available or visible to the external network.
- Results will be randomized as the systems will not be "advertised" and it is expected that they will be found by general network scans and probes.
- The IP[13] addresses of the systems will be sequentially allocated such that a probe would be expected to detect both at the same time.
Steps to statistically control variation
When either system was attacked by a DOS[14] attack, both systems where made unavailable to not continue to record data on one system while the other is not being tested.
The Honeypots were deployed using the methodology detailed in the paper by Greg M. Bednarski and Jake Branson (2004) titled, "Information Warfare: Understanding Network Threats through Honeypot Deployment".
Results and Discussion
We subsequently analysed the data based on the average number of individual source hosts and attacking each system and the number of individual attacks registered per host.
Figure 2
We collected data for several weeks with the Web servers host headers remaining visible. Next, we reconfigured the servers to each display an alternate host header; "Secure Web Server version 2.3". This was designed to obscure the system details from a potential attacker.
Figure 3
Apache is less attractive to attackers
The results of the experiment clearly demonstrate a similarity in the results obtained when the server type either is unknown or is determined to be a Microsoft Windows system. However, there was a markedly lower intensity and volume of attacks against the Apache Web server when its host headers were displayed.
Table 1
In order to determine whether the Microsoft Windows IIS Web server or the Apache Linux Web server would attract a larger number of scans or attacks than its counterpart, a two-sample t test was performed on the "Number of Source Hosts Detected per Day" (Figure 3). When choosing a null hypothesis (Ho) that there is no difference between the apache or IIS Web server, it was found that the results of the initial phase of the experiment were significantly different (t = 29.59, df = 54, p < name="">Attacks against Linux with Apache are less intense
An ANONA analysis of the results of the subsequent tests test demonstrate a significant difference (F=5.4402; df = 3, p < f="0.0007;" df =" 2," p="0.9993)." alpha =" 5">
Attackers treat unknown web servers as IIS
ANOVA Analysis of Attacks by source hosts when the header was not Apache on Linux[16]demonstrated no significant difference (F=0.0007; df = 2; p=0.9993).
ANOVA again supports the assertion that there is no significant variation (F=0.0344; p=0.8538, RSquare = 0.000859) when we compare the results of the phase 1 tests against IIS to the phase 2 tests with the host headers obscured.
Conversely an analysis by ANOVA of the phase 1 tests against Apache to the phase 2 tests with the host headers obscured significantly (F=5.7659; p=0.0211, df =3) supports our claim that attackers are less likely to attack Apache on Linux.
Further, when these results are coupled with the initial analysis (F=14.4513; p=0.0004, df = 3) of attacks against Apache vs. IIS from above it is easy to see that there is support for the assertion that an attacker does not care what the server is as long as it is not Linux.[17]
These results would suggest that the threat against Internet deployed hosts is moving from automated scanning tools to more human intensive processes. By specifically avoiding the Apache Linux system (when not obscured), there is evidence to support the contention that attackers are manually targeting systems and actively stopping attacks they deem to be "too difficult".
Limitations in this study
No effort was made to analyse and the levels of attacks against any server. It may be that more high-level attacks are made against a Linux server for example; this assertion has not been tested. In this study, all levels of attack were treated equally whether they were designated as a low, medium or high-level attack.
Suggestions for further research
Some potential areas of further research have emerged from this study. It is clear that an attacker will avoid Linux servers that are not obscured, though this study can provide no reasons for this behaviour.
It is suggested that researchers consider this study and its conclusions as an initial exploration into the methodology of an attacker. Research into the motivations driving this behaviour in an attacker needs to be determined. Further research is essential in order to develop appropriate strategies and measures to secure systems sufficiently. It is essential to understand the psychology of the attacker if effective controls are to be developed and deployed.
A study where the host headers on a Microsoft Windows IIS host are altered to simulate Apache on Linux could determine some further important results.
This study has shown that attackers are not so much attracted to Windows, but rather shy away from Linux based systems.
One potential reason for this could be the increased W32 market penetration. Another possible reason could stem from a perceived greater level of security with Linux hosts.
The results of this study do not demonstrate that either Linux or Microsoft Windows is more secure. However, the results do support the claim that attackers believe that Linux is more difficult to attack, as it is more secure.
Further research is needed on this topic to determine "WHY" Linux is less attractive than Windows to attackers. In addition, experiments into the effects of using other systems (such as the MAC OS) could be further explored.

For "Lone Ranger" star Armie Hammer, the lure of crazy can be strong when it comes to romance. "One chick tried to stab me when we were having sex," the actor said to ELLE Magazine in July 2013. "I should so not be telling this story. She was like, 'True love leaves scars. You don't have any.' And then she tried to stab me with a butcher knife. Of course I promptly broke up with her. . .seven months later."
We've all been there.

For some women, either first child or fifth, the first few weeks with a brand new person are completely overwhelming. And for some moms, it's months before mommy and baby are really fully able to bond.
Our view is that postpartum depression (ppd) is a serious thing. In the cultural norms of our society, women are reluctant to say that they cry every day for the first four weeks of their child's life. But it happens! And more often than you think. We at The Placenta People are no strangers to depression or ppd. So we make it our business to make sure other mothers are prepared and aware.
And we're here to provide tools and services to make sure you and your baby get the best start possible.
At the Placenta People, we are passionate about finding holistic alternatives to battle postpartum depression. Our mission is to help new moms be at their best for their babies from day one. Placenta dehydration & encapsulation is a great place to start.

University of Windsor Judicial Panel Decision No. JPH-12/13-10 issued Nov 8, 2012 (PDF, 63KB)
Question(s) to be Determined: Whether a series of tweets made by a nursing student directed at a fellow student and a faculty member amounted to a form of harassment, and whether these tweets were protected by the Charter as a student's right to freedom of expression.
Findings:While the tweets were found to be uncivil in nature, none of the tweets suggested a course of vexatious comment or conduct, and thus did not rise to a "serious enough" level to constitute harassment. Furthermore, it was found that the fourth tweet was saved under sub-section 2(b) of the Charter as an exercise of the student's freedom of expression
Reasoning: It was concluded that the Charter rights of students should not be infringed upon when the have some grain of commentary or criticism, even if they are in poor taste, unless they interfere with the ordinary function within the university, affect the integrity of the university program or department as a whole, or affect the integrity of the university as a whole.
• Tweets 1-3 were deemed uncivil but not harassment
o Tweet 1: I'd throw my cellphone at her but my cellphone is more valuable #worthlessbitch
o Tweet 2: Not the first time she got an STD
o Tweet 3: Of course she's going to volunteer to spread her legs wide #sluttyhoe
• Tweet 4 constituted Charter-protected speech.
o Tweet 4: our teacher showed up to class dressed like a fool, and is acting like a child #sosick #typicaldayinnursing
The student was charged with "posting uncivil/harassing comments about a fellow student & faculty member on Twitter". This conduct is alleged to be a violation of the Faculty of Nursing's Social Media Policy, the Student Code of Conduct, Senate Bylaw 31, and the various Practice Standards set out by the College of Nurses of Ontario (as incorporated into the Faculty of Nursing's program). The student pled not guilty during her first appearance on August 7th, 2012, and the matter was set down for a one (1) day trial.
There was no dispute that these tweets were made by, and posted from the Twitter account of the student. The student's account was "open" – anyone could view her tweets, even if they were not following her. They were, for all intents and purposes, publicly available. In terms of timing, the tweets were all within a two (2) hour span, and either made during Health Assessment II, course #63-176, or the course preceding it. In our analysis, we will separate the tweets based on their intended audience.
The fourth tweet was directed at the Professor. It was crude, insensitive and failed to adequately capture the context of the Professor's conduct. On the evidence, the Professor had informed the class that she would be role-playing an individual with organic brain disease. She dressed and acted accordingly.
Given this background, the student's comments were particularly distasteful and facile. However, we are guided by the decision in Pridgen v. University of Calgary, 2012 ABCA 139, where the Alberta Court of Appeal held that the "Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms applies to the disciplinary proceedings undertaken by [a] University" (ibid. at para. 128). The fourth tweet, as we have labelled it, is therefore saved under sub-section 2(b) of the Charter as an exercise of the student's freedom of expression. The quality of the expression is not for us to judge, but there does appear to be some 'peppercorn' of expression that is protectable. Even if the 'peppercorn' is debatable, the benefit of the doubt must fall to the student.
The first three (3) tweets were all directed at another student in the student's class. This was also not in dispute. Like the fourth tweet, these tweets were also crude, insensitive and failed to adequately capture the context that gave rise to them.
Taken together, these tweets amount to uncivil conduct. Given the specific context, timing, and a contextual crude equivocations contained within them, they meet the threshold of being "uncivil".
However, we do not find that these three tweets amount to harassment. None of these tweets suggests a course of vexatious comment or conduct. Nor do any of the tweets, taken individually, rise to a "serious enough" level to constitute harassment. Indeed, we generally doubt whether a single tweet could ever rise to this level (given the 140 character length), but given the ability to post pictures or link to other sites, we suspect that a scenario could be imagined or arise.
Cases like this straddle a fine line between free speech and acceptable academic conduct.
Ultimately, the Orwellian threat of disciplinary charges for comments made on social media platforms (whether public or semi-public) that are alleged to be 'uncivil', 'unprofessional' or similarly nebulous grounds, should never take priority over students' right to freedom of expression insofar as those comments contain some 'grain' of commentary or criticism – however crude, childish and distasteful – and unless that expression reasonably
Impinges upon:
a. The ability of another person to carry out their ordinary functions at this University (be it a Professor, administrator, student or otherwise);
b. The integrity of a particular University program or department, as a whole; or
c. The integrity of the University as whole. This last ground would be rare, but it is still imaginable.
There does not need to be direct intent for any of the aforementioned items, as intent can also be reasonably inferred from the surrounding circumstances. Recklessness, indifference or willful blindness might also suffice.

Submission Twitter blocks website supporting Phil Robertson Following anti-gay comments->
cultiv8 writes: Social network giant Twitter has reportedly blocked users from tweeting the phrase "iStandWithPhil.com," a hashtag representing the petition drive to have Phil Robertson reinstated to A&E's "Duck Dynasty" reality show. Robertson was indefinitely suspended from the show last week after he described homosexuality as a sin in an interview with GQ Magazine. The organization running the organization does not know why it is being blocked, as a diagnostic page says the site "has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days."

Andrew Dice Clay thinks he's all that, huh? - VIDEO
I have my reasons I must watch. Yes, I wondered if Joan Rivers' face can actually show any signs of movement after all of her plastic surgery (it doesn't). Her mouth smiles, but that's about it. Nonetheless, Joan can be so outrageous and spontaneous that she'll crack me up anyway (and my face actually can move with expressions). Having her, Dennis Rodman, Andrew Dice Clay, Clint Black, and some of the others is enough to get me hooked on the show even before the season started. Oh, that doesn't mean I like them all. But I do like my just desserts and Clay got his cupcakes last night.
I don't know why Andrew Dice Clay has such delusions about his greatness. The "rock star" of stand-up comedians? Sheesh, give me a break. He's a boring misogynistic wannabe tough Brooklyn guy who tends to come across as a sexist Neanderthal every time I see him. I don't see funny. I definitely don't see "rock star." I see someone who should have long ago been washed out to sea. And, I honestly thought he was ... or he went into accounting or some other mundane field.
As for comedians, I'd classify George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and plenty of others as the "rock stars" of stand-up comedy well before he'd even be considered for the honor. He reminds me of the Barbarino character on Welcome Back Kotter -- dumb to the max but thinks he's all that.
Last night he didn't want to get involved in the cupcakes task because he "doesn't believe in baking." Say what? I can tell by his physique that he certainly believes in eating! Does he not realize that many of the baking culinary experts in the world are indeed men? Heck, even if we went back to what he'd consider the good old days -- you know, when women were barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen -- men still baked! Oh, not all of them, of course. But the famous ones back then were men.
Then he wanted to quit until Donald called him a quitter. Just throw him a beer, some raw meat, and send him on his way. Yeah, I was intrigued when I heard he was going to be on the show. I had wondered if he had changed over the years. Nope. Even though Trump fired him, I consider him a loser ... a quitter. So there, Mr. Macho.
Don't even get me going on Donald, Jr.'s mullet. I don't want to go there.

Bonnie Slade: Facebook? Time to take stock of family life
Dear Dr. Slade:
Our 10-year-old daughter is our only child. She is prococious and always wants to be older.
For about six months now, she has been pressuring us to let her do Facebook.
She loves to be on the computer and says all her friends are doing it. I'm really not sure what I think about this. Do you think it would do any harm?
Facebook MOM
Dear Facebook MOM:
It is wonderful to see our children have friends outside of the family, and to see them want to remain connected to their friends.
In America, there have been many recent phenomenal technological achievements that allow people to remain connected with one another, without every actually being able to see them in real life. We have Facebook, e-mail and voicemail for a slower way of staying connected.
We have instant messaging, texting, Skype, Facebook chat and the old fashioned telephone for quicker communication in real time. Messages are exchanged in a flurry, many of them empty of much meaning, but designed to keep the chat alive and thus the connection alive.
With Facebook, things can be different from communicating with a friend face to face, in real life. First, do check the rules of Facebook. An associate of mine mentioned that there might be an age cutoff, perhaps 13 years old. No matter how mature your daughter, she is not 13 years old, and you would not want to encourage her to lie about her age.
Even if she is the correct age, there are several things to consider in making your choice.
First, let's address the technology related issues.
For example, without exceptionally close and constant supervision, your daughter might be able to change the privacy settings on her account. This could allow her to communicate with people that are not healthy for her development.
Furthermore, people with evil intentions could communicate with her and create psychological distressing problems she is too young to deal with, no matter how bright she is. If she violates your privacy settings, it could also result in her meeting predators who patrol the Internet (just like they patrol a city), looking for victims. I have seen situations like this in my practice that have led to serious bodily consequences.
The next issues to address pertain do the developmental and family issues. Some parents allow their children to spend long periods of time on line, and on social networking websites, as a way of avoiding the difficult business of saying "no" and creating conflict.
Sometimes parents also are using these websites like a babysitter. The parents are resting on the couch watching TV, or playing on the computer themselves. By allowing their chidlren to play online, they then have more time for themselves.
The result is a family that is disconnected and alienated from one another.
This type of disconnection raises the risk that the child will find other ways of dealing with their alienation and loneliness. Some children seek this closeness prematurely in sex. Some turn to drugs and alcohol to deaden the feeling of loneliness. When you have young children, if you are doing your parenting job, there is no time to play on the computer or watch your TV shows until after the children are in bed.
Another factor to think about is your child's age. This is an age that you want to be encouraging childhood pursuits, rather than adolescent activities.
Playing outdoors, baking with mom, riding bikes, playing board games (or even videogames with Mom and Dad), having friends over, learning to sew, doing arts and crafts, building with blocks or wood, fishing, going to the beach — these are just a few standard ideas to get you thinking of ways to encourage and join her in childhood pursuits, rather than adolescent hobbies.
So, while saying "no" to Facebook right now is important, it is also a time for you and your husband to take stock of family life and how you might engage more as a family, and also encourage childhood pursuits for your daughter.

Railroad Earth
1332 W Burnside St.
[JAMGRASS] Look, I'm normally not one to advocate for jam bands. But New Year's Eve isn't a normal evening, and I can totally see the appeal of attending a Railroad Earth gig to celebrate the end of 2012. Playing in a panoply of string-based musical styles—bluegrass, Celtic music, traditional American folk—the New Jersey band makes the perfect soundtrack for a night of warm feelings produced by excessive whiskey drinking. And generally speaking, most bands can't reasonably stretch a set past midnight. These boys will probably keep playing well into the first hours of 2013. Plus, their banjo-and-fiddle rendition of "Auld Lang Syne" will be bitching. Don't get me wrong, this isn't where I'm spending my evening. But I won't judge if that's your plan.

Gracie Gold, a former Wilder Elementary School and Pershing Middle School student, is competing in her first Olympics. / AFP/Getty Images
SOCHI, RUSSIA — Denise and Carl Gold had witnessed multitudes of their daughters skating competitions over the years.
As she took her seat in the upper deck at the Iceberg Skating Palace on Wednesday night, Denise Golds first impressions were those of familiarity.
I was watching her warm up and I thought it was just another competition, Denise Gold said of daughter, Gracie. She knows all of these girls, and has competed with all of them at least once.
With noise filling the arena, the crowd reacting to every performance and each score, and those five rings marking the ice surface, it didnt take long for Denise Golds sentiments to evolve.
Its the Olympics, she said. Its different. You have to put it out there for yourself, for the USA.
Gracie Gold, in her first Winter Games, answered the challenge in Wednesdays short program, scoring a 68.63.
She is fourth going into tonights free skate, meaning the former Wilder Elementary School and Pershing Middle School student is within striking distance of a big-time medal.
She was excited and a little bit nervous, but I think everybody is when you compete at this level, said Denise Gold, who talked to Gracie on Wednesday but didnt see her.
She had that sensation at the U.S. Championships. I remember that and I think thats what helps me. And she felt that way before the team event, too. She said Im afraid, but Im going to throw it down.
Both of those turned out well for Gold, who won the U.S. title and skated a strong long program as the U.S. took bronze in the team event here, the first at an Olympics.
Gold, wearing a bright red outfit, continued that trend Wednesday, getting off to a solid start by nailing her triple lutz/triple toe loop combo and gliding through the rest of her program.
She has risen to the occasion and thats the key, because this is the occasion, Carl Gold said. For her to go out and skate a clean program against people who, before the Olympics, she was too shy to get her picture taken with ... Now shes out there competing with them.
She needed to skate well, considering the depth of proven competition here.
It features South Koreas two-time world champion and 2010 Olympic gold medalist Yuna Kim, seeking to be the first repeat winner since Katarina Witt in 1984-88; Japans 2010 silver medalist and two-time world champ Mao Asada; 2013 world and five-time European champ Carolina Kostner of Italy; and Russian 15-year-old prodigy Yulia Lipnitskaya, who is the recent youngest-ever European champ; and two-time U.S. champ Ashley Wagner.
Only Kim (74.92), Russias Adelina Sotnikova (74.64) and Kostner (74.12) were ahead of Gold, with Lipnitskaya (65.23) and Wagner (65.21) closest behind.
That wasnt the best shes skated, but it was really good, said Denise, her collection of Olympic pins tacked to the family credential hanging around her neck. To do that on Olympic ice is hard to do, especially when there were a lot of expectations on her.
Fraternal twin sister Carly, who has also been a competitive skater, was in the stands rooting for Gracie on Wednesday, too.
The 18-year-old Gracie trains in El Segundo, Calif. But she was born in Massachusetts, lived and still trains sometimes in Illinois and has left a trail of friendships along the way, including in the Ozarks.
Her community has been behind her, the support has been really good, since she was named to the team, Carl Gold said. Its been very emotional.
A lot of people in a lot of places claim her because shes made terrific friendships in several locations, really coast-to-coast, and thats a testament to Gracie.

Event ID: 2216 Message dispenser will suspend processing for 10 minutes due to a recoverable error
Unfortunately, this problem started when the Exchange team moved one of Enterprise Vault (EV) System Mailbox for a specific Exchange Server to another ,and also when moved some of users that mailboxes was enabled for archiving previously from Exchange Server to another
Based on both scenario ,We notice that Archiving option seems to work extremely slow for the users that moved to that Exchange server and these two events are appearing on Event viewer logs
So based on tech note that founded on Symantec website about the problem http://clientui-kb.symantec.com/kb/index?page=content&id=TECH51337&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US&searchid=1362395702193 ,to resolve this problem is moving the EV system mailboxes back to the original Exchange Server ,but after return back to same server and the changes happen ,we still faced up same problem.
Besides, there are another discussion that founded , it advice to delete and re-create archive tasks to resolve the issue, so before doing that I want to ask if there are any impact for that and if anybody can advice or help us to resolve this problem, We appreciate the support.
Comments 4 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Deleting and re-creating the tasks should have no impact, infact it may cause more issues as items pending backup might not be processed correctly.
I assume you've allowed time for changes to propogate through AD and Exchange and that the EV Exchange provisioning task has run since?
If so another solution would be to create a new system mailbox on the server and point the existing task at this. This will be less disruptive than deleting/recreating the task.

Among the department's stakeholders are our alumni whose connection with the Department of Art and Design is, undeniably, as coveted as it is essential. They constitute an important link not only with the department and its history, but also with its future, the profession, and the outside world. They are significant to our existence because of the experiential insights that they embody, the inspirational examples that they provide our students, and the professional avenues that they facilitate.
It is our belief that maintaining contact with our alumni can only have a salutary effect on our program and offer our students the necessary head start that they may need as they embark on their professional careers. Equally important is the financial assistance that our alumni continue to provide, and for which we are deeply grateful. Their generous gifts to the department help in many significant respects, not the least are the numerous scholarships and awards that we are able to offer our students. The largest gift that we have received in our department's history came in 2003 from the estate of an alumna, Marian R. Frutiger of Houston, Texas, in the sum of $60,000.

Case Study | June 6, 2012
31% Energy Savings For Skanderborg Waste Water Treatment Plant With New 55 kW Atlas Copco ZS BlowerSource: Atlas Copco Airpower Compressor Technique
With a savings goal set at 25 % for the Danish waste water industry, optimizing all parts of the operation, so even the aeration, is of the highest importance.
In 2011, The Skanderborg Waste Water Treatment Plant replaced one of its 75 kW lobe blowers with a new 55 kW Atlas Copco ZS screw blower and were able to reduce their energy consumption with 31%.
Up to 70 % of the energy consumed by a WWTP (Waste Water Treatment Plant) consists of low pressure aeration of the waste water, why savings in this part of the process is of paramount importance. – Atlas Copcos' ZS screw blowers are on average 30 % more energy efficient than lobe blowers. This hasbeen proven by independent tests by TÜV and by WWTP's in Scandinavia. Skanderborg WWTP had problems with their aeration using lobe blowers so we suggested that they would try the Atlas Copco ZS blowers, says Flemming Broksø Sales Engineer Oil-free Air at Atlas Copco Compressor Technique Scandinavia.

Drunkenwerewolf Feature Die! Die! Die!'s NEW Crystal Video
New Zealanders Die! Die! Die! have released a new video for their track "Crystal", taken from their upcoming fifth album 'SWIM'. The trio has spent the last 9 years tailoring their noise-pop/punk clamor, drawing upon the sludge rock of the early 90s and the panache of modernist New York art-punk. Now signed to Smalltown America, 'SWIM' encapsulates everything the band have striven to embody and brings the gritty vehemence of their live show to listeners at home.
Reminiscent of Placebo's heyday, not to mention Black Flag, Pixies and Wire, "Crystal" is three-minutes of unbridled noise. The video is as simplistic as the music, neither ever forcing their hand nor detracting from the other. Die! Die! Die! are simply interested in making a cacophonous din, there's no hiding behind polished veneers or fancy production.
'SWIM' will be released this autumn through Smalltown America on 12" and digital. Pre-orders are available from 15th August and can be found here.
You can also see the band's video for "Crystal" below:

(Jul 13, 2010) On July 6, 2010, the Constitutional Court of Moldova approved the constitutionality of the parliamentary decision to conduct a nation-wide referendum in order to pass amendments to the country's Constitution. The parliamentary action was aimed at overcoming a constitutional crisis that has continued for almost a year and prevented the election of the President of Moldova. The referendum, which is scheduled for September 5, 2010, will ask Moldovan citizens if they would agree to the popular election of the President. After adoption of constitutional changes by a referendum, the amendments can be passed by a simple majority of legislators. This extraordinary measure is needed because passage of constitutional amendments ordinarily requires a three-fifths majority vote of members of parliament, but at present no political party has the required number of votes to secure approval of the amendments.
A system of direct presidential elections existed in Moldova until 2000, when a constitutional reform introduced the requirement of election of the President by at least 61 members of the 101-seat national legislature. After the 2009 parliamentary elections, no party was able to form a majority and create a coalition needed to secure 61 votes for the presidential candidate. After two rounds of elections were unsuccessful, the former President, who continued to stay in office, dissolved the Parliament and called for new elections; however, the new parliament was still not able to elect a new President.
Because the Parliament can be dissolved only once a year and because new elections cannot be called in the near future and the former President, following the parliamentary elections, resigned on September 11, 2009, the Parliament's Speaker has been serving as acting President. According to the Constitution, the President is the head of state in Moldova and represents the country in international relations. The President is elected for four years and cannot serve for more than two terms.
The September 5 ballot may also include a question on introducing Romanian as the only official language of Moldova. (Constitutional Court Approves AEI Bill to Amend Constitution by Referendum, ALL MOLDOVA NEWS AGENCY (July 6, 2010), http://www.allmoldova.com/en/moldova-news/1249047629.html.)

PAWTUCKET — It's always nice to put on a good show when the brass is in town.
With Red Sox General Manager Ben Cherington and Director of Player Development Ben Crockett checking out the action, the Pawtucket Red Sox thumped Syracuse, 7-1, Tuesday night before 2,675 fans. Allen Webster rebounded from a sub-par first start to his season with six shutout innings while Justin Henry and Ryan Lavarnway stoked the offense with back-to-back home runs in the fifth inning.
The difference between the Webster that held the Chiefs in check to the one that lasted just 3.2 innings last Thursday against Lehigh Valley boiled down to one simple issue: command. Featuring a mid 90s fastball along with a strong assortment of breaking pitches, Webster routinely got ahead of the Syracuse batters before inducing weak contact. Case in point, he got Will Rhymes to tap out to second base in the first inning after shattering the DH's bat on a 93-mph offering.
Ten of the 16 outs Webster recorded came on groundballs. He scattered three hits while striking out three. The righty walked two as part of his 83-pitch, 54-strike masterpiece. Those two numbers are nearly the opposite from what Webster compiled against the IronPigs (81 pitches, 46 strikes).
"My fastball command was 10 times better than where it was the last game. I was throwing my off-speed for strikes and they were getting bad contact," said Webster after Pawtucket registered its fourth win in its last five tries. "I was staying more in line and driving the ball to the spot rather than jerking it."
Said PawSox manager Kevin Boles, "Webster was attacking and I thought he had real good mound presence tonight. He got strike one and was able to utilize a mix."
The PawSox staked Webster to a 3-0 lead in the first inning, marking the first time that they had scored in the game's first frame. Bryce Brentz came through with the big hit as the outfielder stroked a two-run double.
A sac fly by No. 9 hitter Peter Hissey made it 4-0 before Pawtucket hung another three-spot on Syracuse in the fifth. Hitting in the No. 3 spot in Boles' lineup, Henry golfed a two-run homer into the visitors' bullpen as part of a 2-for-4 night with three RBI and two runs.
"He works to all fields and drove the ball to his pull field tonight," said Boles about Henry. "He puts together quality at-bats and makes pitchers work."
Henry's blast was followed by a home run by Lavarnway, an opposite field shot that was probably accompanied by a sigh of relief. That ended a 0-for-14 drought to begin the season for the catcher/first baseman.
"The one that Ryan has done the last couple of nights, he's staying in his base and using his legs a little bit more," Boles pointed out. "He's been taking some pretty good passes at the ball."
The first homestand of the 2014 season concludes Wednesday with a noontime start. Anthony Ranaudo (0-0, 2.25) gets the start for the locals while Danny Rosenbaum (0-1, 7.20) draws the nod for Syracuse.

Colorado: where the bison roamed
They may be called "buffalo," but they're really bison. Bison bison if you want to get technical and use the scientific genus and species names.
And prior to 1840, some 60 million of these shaggy beasts with their sharply curved horns and characteristic shoulder hump roamed the Great Plains of the United States.
Then the white man arrived. Hordes of explorers, prospectors, hunters, trappers, settlers and traders swarmed westward, slaughtering the herds for meat, bones (used as fertilizer), and the thick, woolly, dark-brown hides that fetched a fine price in the fur trade.
Millions of these imposing animals — bulls can stand 6 feet tall at the shoulder and weigh up to 2,200 pounds — were also massacred in a deliberate campaign to decimate the Plains Indians, who depended upon the bison as a major source of food, clothing and shelter.

|Mountaineers Sweep Spartans in Three Sets
|Written by Kelsey Campbell
|Sunday, 03 November 2013 09:02
Appalachian State University volleyball won their fourth straight match on Saturday night, sweeping UNCG in three sets with scores of 25-19, 25-19 and 31-29. The first set would have only one lead change as the Mountaineers (16-10, 7-5 SoCon) took an early 12-6 lead over the Spartans (14-11, 7-5). UNCG would not catch up,
letting the Apps take the set 25-19.
The Mountaineers would take charge again in the second set, pulling ahead 9-6. The scores would be close througout the set, but the Spartans would not gain the lead once as Appalachian took the second set 25-19 again.
The next set would consist of 12 tied scores as the two teams would battle for the third. The Mountaineers would score seven straight points and look as though they would easily win the set with a score of 20-13 before the Spartans would come charging back to tie the match at 24. Points would be scored back-and-forth between UNCG and App before Appalachian would eventually take the third 31-29.
Emily Corrigan led the team in kills for the third straight match, recording 13 on the night. Lauren Gray followed, tallying 12 kills and only one error for an impressive .579 hitting percentage.
Paige Brown assisted 42 kills on the match, while Meghan Mahoney notched a match high 22 kills. The Mountaineers hit .287 on the night, while limiting UNCG to a .132 hitting percentage. The Apps had nine total blocks on the night to the Spartans' four.
Appalachian will return to action in Boone when they take on Samford on Nov. 8 at 7 p.m. and Chattanooga on Nov. 9 at 7 p.m.

Oak Hill getting PGA-ready
Updated: Tuesday, July 23 2013, 07:41 PM EDT
Workers are busy building a media center, a golf shop and putting up tents and grandstands.
It is a work in progress that has been in the planning stages for years.
PGA Tournament Director Ryan Cannon said it's no longer a matter of talking about what to do but time to get it done.
He said the grounds are in good shape, despite heavy rain and flooding last week.
He credits grounds crews for working around the clock to keep the greens in good shape.
The PGA is a huge event for the community.
The numbers alone are staggering. 35,000 to 40,000 people are expected to attend every day.
3,800 volunteers have been recruited.
The event will be covered by 1,000 journalists from all over the world and broadcast in 200 countries.
Limited tickets are available at PGAChampionship.com
This year, junior fans who are 17 and younger will have free access to the PGA, if accompanied by a ticketed adult.
Bill Hughes picked up his tickets Tuesday.
He's not a golfer or a golf fan.
But, Hughes is excited.
He said this is a huge event for our community.
Hughes said he will spend the week taking pictures at Oak Hill.
Sue Stahl has been a member at Oak Hill Country Club for 50 years.
She said this is exciting for everyone.
Stahl said it will bring in people from all over the world and boost the local economy.
Stahl will volunteer during the event and said she's excited to watch the pros play and be part of the action at Oak Hill.
