According to a new report from PandaLabs, at least 30 million Internet users have fallen for fake antivirus programs that claim to fix bluescreens, cockroaches (yes, you read that right), and other errors on people's computers. These scammers have made millions by selling fake software alone, and may be making more after they get ahold of your credit card number.

Oh gods yes. I work in university tech support, and we've seen many a student with variants of this, and even a handful of staff PCs.
I hope the authors go to prison for several years and pay hefty fines. |
Who determines the difference in dialog boxes? Where is the documentation that describes a for REAL dialog box from a fake one. Why is it that ISPs state that they filter the malware, yet clicking on a link on a Web page delivers the malware just fine, even though your ISP says they filter this junk out.
The problem here is that there is a big lack of information of what malware is, how the end user can avoid it, and roll the ISPs play in delivering the malware content (they say the filter spam, yet I still get lots of that). I can believe that people had good intentions and bought the malware antivirus program, thinking that it would get rid of their problem. But when it didn't, you have zero support from your city, state, or federal people to go after the people that sell that crap. You also how the problem of getting the malware off your computer, and for most users its a trip to the repair shop, and most repair shops don't inform you that the probelm was program XYZ, so don't re-install it. Normally they just wipe the disk, and rebuild for your factory configuration. Since I'm on a college campus, I believe that malware is in most of the campus lab computers. Many users have the attitude of "this is not my computer so why should I worry". The campus does provide a mechanism for cleaning the computers daily (DeepFreeze), but within minutes the computers are re-infected with toolbars, ads, password lockers, and other annoying crap that has basically caused me to do my computing at home. Its costs more to buy they programs need for school, but then again I have the luxury on not being infected. I see this more as a social engineering problem that no one is really addressing. |

"scammers are getting more crafty"
I keep hearing this - how scammers are such smart people, coming up with all these highly intelligent ways of messing up people's computers and networks. I don't think this exploit was really all that "crafty." It's just that people never learn. You're not crafty if you are a ten year old and you trick a five year old into giving you his candybar. Stop giving the scammers more credit than they deserve. |
I just resolved an issue of this at work on an XP SP3 communal box. Someone had clicked through to install "AV 2009" for some reason, even though I have loudly and often admonished everyone within 20 feet of that machine to *never* install "free" AV software from the Internet...
The program was a classic trojan in that once installed it allowed the machine to boot to the "AV 2009 warnings and solutions" screen--and no further. You had to allow your self to be force-navigated to the AV2009 "site" and pay the money for the "solution" or else you were stuck with a completely useless box that couldn't so much as open an explorer window. You couldn't boot to safe mode, etc. Solved by reformatting and reinstalling XP via booting the OS image from CD. There may be other solutions, but this was the most time-effective I could find as I wasn't inclined to pick it apart. My best guess on how it was installed is that somebody who refuses to identify himself (of course) encountered a fake "Windows needs to scan your box because something's wrong!" message and clicked through before engaging brain, and the damage was done. This kind of cyber crime is reprehensible. It seems, however, that it would be a relatively easy thing for law enforcement to ferret out by just Googling "free AV software" or combinations thereof until you encounter one of the beasties and can take action to trace it to the owners and put them out of business. Meanwhile, though, being intelligent, knowledgeable, and prudent is your first line of defense as there's no doubt that in these cases an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure. |
The problem is that this type of crime doesn't affect children - if we could somehow convince law enforcement/politicians that stomping out and eliminating "free AV software" from the Internet was good "for the children" it would be gone in a week. |
You know, it's a simple policy, and it applies not only to software, but just about every product you could ever buy:
If you can't buy it on a shelf in a store, don't buy it! Simple, if someone tells you it's not available in stores, and you have to call a number or go online to get it, then generally the reason is the stores refuse to stock it, or possibly, the seller knows it's a BS product and knows selling it in stores comes with legal obligations, online selling is safer... If a new product that competes with others can't compete enough to be sold side by side on shelves, then clearly it isn't good enough. If a product is free where others charge $50, then something's not right. The ONLY free software on the net is either niche software, illegal software, or a small simple utility. Nothing as complex as security software, nor something that requires continual updates (aka labor) is both free and of high quality. |
Avast Sept. 2008 AV Bulletin Avast and AV Bulletin would beg to differ on that point. The Avast free product (same defs and engine as the pay product) is quite good according to that independent test. And lets not forget the tons and tons of free open source software and operating systems out there, some of which runs and protects massive IT infrastructures, i.e. Google and Linux. -Old_Wolf |
I thought that fake AV was bad but I never guessed that so many people would be affected by it.
got a user infected with AV2008 or 2009 or one of these craptastic progies? Get Superantispyware and it will kill most of them. So will Combofix. Both are free. both are much faster and easier than nuking a box from orbit and starting over.

"downloading questionable content from P2P networks, opening e-mail attachments from unknown addresses, or visiting malicious web pages"
I do that all the time, and I don't have any problems. ..but then, I use Ubuntu. |
Here is a page displaying screenshots of lots of these. Smitfraudfix ftw!
I personally have had to 'fix' three machines now that have been infected with this. It is a particulary bad virus as it has nailed people who believe themselves fairly savy.
Fortunately the virus is not very distructive, just highly highly annoying. |
This is not to beat up on you WaltC in particular, but your post illustrates some things that are wrong with this situation.
Why are you letting everyone log on as Administrator? Lesser privilege levels for everyone except the person who manages the machine (and even for that person when he/she isn't making system-wide changes) is a standard security practice, and in most cases prevents users from screwing up anything more than their own accounts.
This choice of OS may partially answer the above question: because of its design and its culture of programming and use patterns, it tends to not work acceptably for regular-user accounts. I wouldn't assume the choice of this OS is your fault - maybe it's mandated by your organization, or maybe needed software isn't available for other platforms. What I do have to point out is the fallacy of problems like this malware being considered a general computer security problem. In reality, it's a problem specific to Microsoft products. The usual answer to this is that there is more malware for Windows only because of its monopoly-inflated market share, but that is another fallacy. In fact, its swiss-cheese security is mainly due to its poorly designed division between near-root and regular-user roles, its internal sloppiness, and its entrenched culture of software placing convenience over security and requiring excess privileges.
There is no objective definition of malware. Laws are riddled with exemptions for "respectable" malware such as DRM and advertising schemes, and malware purveyors have actually sued to silence people who call it malware. Some cases seem egregious, but we cannot have good laws as long as commercial interests in proprietary software trump public interest in the legislatures.
The whole user-education approach often seems hopeless, and the situation is not likely to improve until the early- and pre-computer generations have been replaced, and maybe not even then. The only way cyber-"dummies" can be protected from themselves, or others from them, is restricting their privileges, or having them use systems that have such intrinsic security, and ergonomics such that the right choices are easier than destructive ones. This isn't likely with Microsoft wares, but is well on the way with Mac and Linux. |

What are you smoking? Avast, Antivir, AVG? |
When I was at school, the main computer lab had a program that basically re-ghosted the OS drive of the machine whenever it rebooted (which was required when you switched users). It would take painfully long to switch users (~15 min), but at least it kept unwanted programs out.
Ugh, I just had to clear a bunch of this stuff from my uncle's computer. I have to do the same thing once every month or two because no matter how many times I tell him that banner ad telling him he has a virus is lying to him and he doesn't until he clicks on it, he doesn't listen. At least he pays me to spend an hour deleting a bunch of crap.
That is my father. I shudder with him. I could tell him a thousand times don not click on it and thirty minutes later he will call me with problems. "Well it said it was free and it looked reputable" - argh ... he drives me bat shit insane. He has a masters degree in Economics and is a retired Military Commander. He definitely isn't stupid but seriously! I have come to the conclusion it has nothing to do with intelligence. It has more to do with being naive and your trust level. He is a trusting person. I am not.He also could give a shit about computers. |
Here's the thing: I have no idea how people get these freaking programs. I work for the geek squad (yeah I know) and me and another guy spent about 2 hours one day trying to get one of our crappy best buy supplied computers infected with it...we went to a bunch of the most questionable sites (no porn cause the proxies block that) and I turned off the pop up blocker but I never saw the freaking dialog. I just don't get it.
On a side note at another Best Buy someone actually managed to infect one of their registers with it......how? |
When it comes to the subject of computer knowledge, the average user today has the IQ of a turnip.
I fell victim to this scam. I have friends in IT so I know MOST of the tricks to avoid, but I didn't know this one until after I had downloaded Adaware and one other, and they made my life hell. Took me a long time to get rid of them, and then to clean up the mess that was causing me problems in the first place. (it was too many programs, not downloaded bugs).
Now I have trend micro, I scan and download every day, and the system runs fine. |
The best thing to do is get a Friend who knows about PC (computers) & have him Re-install Windows from the factory Disc or Original with your KEY from the laptop. & then only install the software which you'll be using only. Then have him/her Clone the Parition onto a DVD 8.5 disc or DVD's using ISO cloning software I use Norton Ghost. It's a life safer. When this usually happen's to me, my pc start's acting up & slowing down. But when i notice it. I just restore in less than 5-14 mins using my Cloned Disk u can also make a small Parition on your Drive if you have a Excessive Big Hard drive like over 100s GB .. i ususally make a 8.5 GB parition mostly for the Backup Parition which is Compressed by Norton Ghost. Restore time is way much faster than a DVD give or take about 3-9 minutes. And this is only if the entire was not Effect because there are Virus & etc. files which will write on to the Hard drive & currupt it. By then you have to use the Hard DRive's company software to write 101010 to Completely Wipe it Clean.
all the pc's i fix for freinds n family they all have a Backup parition & 1 or 2 DVD's as a Extra Backup. Saves Time & headaches. This is my Best Solution for now. Other Geek's or PC guru's may argee or dis-argee with my methods. |
Ugh, I actually just recently got this virus too.
It's really hard to avoid when you share a computer in a house full of people who are just about mentally handicapped in the field of technology. |
I had "blue screen / cockroach" virus on a computer once. Its highly annoying due to the fact that everytime it activates, which is very often, it readds the blue screen and cockroach screen saver to your screen. I had to update my windows malware, which deleted it. Then I had to manually remove those corrupted files from my registry. There are some good step-by-step instructions online.
download smitfraudfix to your desktop, boot into safe mode, unistall said "rogue anti-spyware"(that's the technical term, you can find a list of these on bleepingcomputer.com), run smitfraudfix, restart and done
...and the real crime is how much a tech center will charge you to remove this for you, usually around $100 |
Ok, so I am a victim of this just recently...everyone talks about it, but how the heck do I fix it?? My computer is crashing from this crap, and I can't even log on long enough to get the info from the anti spyware I purchased...to report the fraud! Help!!!
What you people don't get is that these viruses often infect computers without user intervention, and virus scanners generally don't block them.
I didn't believe it myself until I saw it happen twice on machines that had Avast! with full protection running. What happens is that the scammers use SEO techniques to make malicious pages come up in valid web searches. If you go to that page, you computer will stall for a minute while it is quickly installing the virus. There are no banners to click and no dialog boxes to confirm. It just happens. The search engines nuke these pages pretty quickly from the search results, so it depends on how much a person searches for off-the-wall topics. That is why the tech-savvy have been infected so much with this one. People that are good at finding obscure information will get hit because nobody has yet alerted the search engine to the malicious pages. The mainstream media always paints a picture of dumb users getting duped on P2P. That's because they are simply trying to give P2P a bad name, as that is their number one competitor. P2P is very safe. |
Ok, so my laptop has been infected with one of these "fake anti-virus" things. I do't know much about computers, but i tried to go into my computer and delete the program, but it said i was not authorized to do so. It has completley disabled my laptop b/c no mater how i try the screen pops up over and over again. How in the worl do i get rid of this??
It makes me very glad to see that this virus or trojan is well known now, by at least 30 million people. this was a very nasty program, and im glad to say i just recently got rid of it last weekend! but instead of just talking about this virus or malware, shouldn't we be letting people know what they can do? i had personal experience with the program that was pictured in the article with bugs and a blue screen. i would use many of the top AV software to try and fix my laptop. Mcafee, Symantec, even the great Norton AV! and none of those could find the malicious program! i was pissed of course, i had found a few of the files myself but i wasn't able to delete them because this program imbeds it's files into your registry! well it's not easy getting educated on registry editing, otherwise i could have done it myself. then sorftware from www.MalwareBytes.org was used and it found malicious software with one click!(I think the AV is called malwarebytes) i was so impressed! also i think it's free wich i believe all Anti-virus software should be.
Vincebus Maximus-"I don't think this exploit was really all that "crafty" as far as falling for the fake boxes and stuff i agree with Vincebus Maximus. i think you would have to be using a computer for the first time in your life to fall for the fake messages. they were clearly fake! the program likes to use the following: .a yellow cation sign with a "!" that acts as a windows pop up to tell you windows is running slowly due to malware, i don't know much about windows but i do know that an OS does not warn you in this way, and then follow it up with a pop up window of internet explorer right after! . another one that symptom that was probably one of the most annoying was that it blocks your ability to "Ctrl+Alt+Del" a window pops up saying you have to be the Administrator to use this function, that's the only window of "box" that seemed legit so i fell for it at first but realized it was just the malicious software. . there will be a added bar to your internet explorer window witch you didn't add, you also cannot "right-click" to close this bar, it may give you directions on removing it but if you follow them it leads you to a dead link and more malicious links, like a loophole. . this is the first malicious software i've seen that actually imbeds itself into your systems registry, i even "google'd" some of the files that i had found and nothing was coming up it seemed no one had known of this virus, untill i saw the article on yahoo about 30 million people falling prey. . the malicious software also detects wether you input a network cable in you RJ-45 jack and immediately starts requesting different web sites from the internet, regardless if the network is connected to the inernet. that was another new nasty feature i had not seen before. . it reduces the speed of your computer. .it uses many other windows xp pop up messages to fool you into following it's instructions. simmilar to the same pop ups you see when you plug in a new device(like your USB drive) and windows try's to set up the device. . the now well known "bugs" on your screen. it's actually a screensaver that comes up on system startup. and the fake "blue screen" i mean wow!...it doesn't even use the same words as a windows blue screen would. . if you manage to find some of the bad files and try to delete them or change something the virus gets worse and try's to adapt to what you've done. . also over time the virus just gets worse. there are a few more symptoms i can't remember that occur, but if you have any of these you've definitely got some malicious software. good luck in getting rid of it, i hope many more read about this malicious software so that we can get rid of it. i had it for two years, untill i used Malware(anti-virus), and today was the first time i had seen that people knew about this. .....actually if you would like i can post the list of files found on my laptop that were deleted so you guys can look for the same thing, i'll try and do that tomorrow... |
These "anti-spyware" viruses are really starting to bug me. I'm actually working on reimaging a loaner laptop that got infected with one as I type this. What I found ironic is that when I informed the user that the laptop was infected with a virus his response was "well don't we have stuff to protect against that?" My response was "well if you thought you were already protected then why did you click the banner to install other anti-spyware software?"
I had this virus and the best thing to get rid of ot was a freeware program 'Smitfraudfix" took 10 min and it was gone. symantec coulnt get it but this did
Someone said that this doesn't effect kids, but it does. I am in the process now of removing this trojan from a machine where a child click a banner, unknowingly, on a "kid" site.
The big problem is when Windows computers are used by children.
I would imagine that the vast majority of these 30 million computers were in homes where a child used the computer, a child inadvertently downloaded the malware, and then later a parent saw the fake anti-virus messages and bought into the scam. Some years ago I read a post where someone insisted that spyware and virus infections were the fault of the user. I used to provide technical support for an elementary school, pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Viruses and spyware infections were a constant problem, because if a pre-literate or barely-literate child is playing a game on a Web site and a dialog box pops up, the child will click on anything to dismiss the box so he or she can go back to playing the game. So how can the users be at fault when the users can't read? Even middle schoolers and high schoolers have poor judgement about these things, and now with drive-by downloads, whether you click "OK" or not doesn't matter. Just by going to a rogue Web page, you get infected. So a large part of the problem in homes and schools with Windows computers is unrestricted Web surfing by children. This is why I recommend that people with children get a Mac for their children to use. A lot of Web site games that require Active X controls won't work on a Mac, but then again, a Mac won't get any viruses or spyware regardless of which web page you visit. |
Its simple enough to go out and buy McAfee or Norton or any of the antivirus programs that are available for sale. Once you have installed the program and its protecting you, you don't have to fall prey to fake links. How do they know your PC is not protected. Don't click on any link that you dont know where it is from. I'm an IT tech where I work.
If a product is free where others charge $50, then something's not right. The ONLY free software on the net is either niche software, illegal software, or a small simple utility. Nothing as complex as security software, nor something that requires continual updates (aka labor) is both free and of high quality. ####### This is a gross overstatement. It's important to be very cautious of free software, but that doesn't mean that useful free security programs don't exist. HijackThis and Spybot are very useful security tools and both entirely free. Free versions of AVG and Lavasoft's Ad-Aware are very useful and get updated regularly. This is more an issue of "push" advertising -- that anything appearing in an unwanted popup or unsolicited email will probably not make you happy. Legitimate vendors *do* sell only online, or offer a free version, but they do not advertise via bombastic popups telling you that your computer is hopelessly infected. I'm into my second week of trying to scrape "Internet Antivirus Pro" off my mother-in-law's computer. But that still wouldn't stop me from recommending the free tools that I have personally vetted. |
Will the author of Smitfraudfix please stop spamming the thread with fake (and poorly spelled) testimonials?
Thanks! |
See this is why people should give up on PCs and get a Mac....*cough*
Then this problem wouldn't exist. That and people need to get lives...... |
This issue seems to be broader than just attacks that proceed from people actively initiating them. My wife's website was the victim of what the service provider called an "iframe" attack. The result was that every search for her keywords on most search engines found her site correctly, gave every indication that it was a legitimate result, including the correct URL on cursor rollover, but when clicked, a popup window came up with a virus warning and an "invitation" to "click here for a free virus check." Simultaneously, the browser window was minimized to the taskbar and was not accessible by the cursor. Clicking on the popup window anywhere, including the close box, or even closing it with Alt-F4 opened a browser window to an AV2009 web page that showed flickering numbers and made it seem as though it were doing a virus check. The web site URL was different on different days and Whois searches showed that some had been shut down. The browser could be shut down to stop everything at that point and the only way the shut down the popup window before it took you to the website was through Task Manager. This occurred on IE6, IE7, Firefox, and Opera and on two different computers running either XP Home or Vista Business. After much research, running of three different malware detectors, and manual searches of the Windows folder and the registry for files various forums said to look for, we found nothing on our computers. In my research, however, I found a lot of entries of the "help, I installed this and it is wrecking my life" variety. However, in my research, I found nothing about something called an iframe attack, or anything that warned of hijacked search engine results (except for on-computer malware that hijacked every search result).
I think that the ARS reader community might benefit from further information about these exploits. I've been using and maintaining small computers since 1982, I do small computer repair for a few household clients, and I try to be moderately informed, but I had never heard of search engine hijacking, much less an iframe attack. Has anyone ever successfully sued one of these exploiters? I would like to send AV2009 a (very large) bill for using the search results for my wife's site to line their own pockets. Thanks, Tom |

BAD BIOFUEL: Clearing rainforest to plant palms for oil, like the one pictured here, is a major emitter of the greenhouse gases that cause climate change.

Converting corn to ethanol in Iowa not only leads to clearing more of the Amazonian rainforest, researchers report in a pair of new studies in Science, but also would do little to slow global warming—and often make it worse.
"Prior analyses made an accounting error," says one study's lead author, Tim Searchinger, an agricultural expert at Princeton University. "There is a huge imbalance between the carbon lost by plowing up a hectare [2.47 acres] of forest or grassland from the benefit you get from biofuels."
Growing plants store carbon in their roots, shoots and leaves. As a result, the world's plants and the soil in which they grow contain nearly three times as much carbon as the entire atmosphere. "I know when I look at a tree that half the dry weight of it is carbon," says ecologist David Tilman of the University of Minnesota, coauthor of the other study which examined the "carbon debt" embedded in any biofuel. "That's going to end up as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere when you cut it down."
By turning crops such as corn, sugarcane and palm oil into biofuels—whether ethanol, biodiesel, or something else—proponents hope to reap the benefits of the carbon soaked up as the plants grow to offset the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted when the resulting fuel is burned. But whether biofuels emit more or less CO2 than gasoline depends on what the land they were grown on was previously used for, both studies show.
Tilman and his colleagues examined the overall CO2 released when land use changes occur. Converting the grasslands of the U.S. to grow corn results in excess greenhouse gas emissions of 134 metric tons of CO2 per hectare—a debt that would take 93 years to repay by replacing gasoline with corn-based ethanol. And converting jungles to palm plantations or tropical rainforest to soy fields would take centuries to pay back their carbon debts. "Any biofuel that causes land clearing is likely to increase global warming," says ecologist Joseph Fargione of The Nature Conservancy, lead author of the second study. "It takes decades to centuries to repay the carbon debt that is created from clearing land."
Diverting food crops into fuel production leads to ever more land clearing as well. Ethanol demand in the U.S., for example, has caused some farmers to plant more corn and less soy. This has driven up soy prices causing farmers in Brazil to clear more Amazon rainforest land to plant valuable soy, Searchinger's study notes. Because a soy field contains far less carbon than a rainforest, the greenhouse gas benefit of the original ethanol is wiped out. "Corn-based ethanol, instead of producing a 20 percent savings [in greenhouse gas emissions], nearly doubles greenhouse emissions over 30 years and increases greenhouse gases for 167 years," the researchers write. "We can't get to a result with corn ethanol where we can generate greenhouse gas benefits," Searchinger adds.
Turning food into fuel also has the unintended consequence of driving up food prices, reducing the access of the neediest populations to grains and meat. "It's equivalent to saying we will try to reduce greenhouse gases by reducing food consumption," Searchinger says. "Unfortunately, a lot of that comes from the world's poorest people."
"We are converting their food into our fuel," Tilman notes. " The typical driver of an SUV spends as much on fuel in a month as the poorer third of the world spend on food."

THE MAROON LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., DECEMBER 15, 1933 Number 11 Volume XII ACTIVITIES HUM AS XMAS HOLIDAYS APPROACH- Gym-Cracks i 1 Music for the two Rah Rah Night Clubs will be furnished by some of the best musicians in the city. "Pinky" and his "Orleanians", Earl Dentin's Orchestra and Al Streeman's Band will definitely be there. A Fashion Show will be held at the Circus Saturday and Sunday. Well known campusites will perform as models and display the latest in styles. Prizes will be given. The Rah Rah Night Club will have every feature of any night club, it is said, with one exception. There will NOT be night club prices. Regular prices will prevail. Entertainment will be provided for children from the ages of 2 to 80 at the gym circus, for those nearer the tender ages can be amused by donkey rides, fish ponds and other special games for the youngsters. "Come and see for yourself" is the slogan of the committee members. So many and so diverse are the features offered that the committee will not attempt to tell us about them. The L. A. S. C. will have a booth at the Circus and when you want candy to them will you go. The huge tent (100 by 50 feet) is being loaned by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Walls. Mrs. Walls will be remembered by #ome as the manager of the Loyola cafeteria in 1926. It is rumored that Frank Tullos will again sing! But rest assured, for the committee has definitely ruled against "My Old River Home" as one of the selections. Perhaps even at that it won't be so bad, for Red Berner and George Joint will assist Frank when he falters on those high C's. Reservations for the Night Clubs are almost filled, "Shorty" reporting some large orders for tables. Three parties have reserved tables for 25. The spirit of the season will not be forgotten in the rush, for there will be a Christmas Tree booth presided over by Miss Viola Rareshide. The Lambda Nu Chi Sorority will be in charge of the Fish Pond and they promise many good fish in the sea. Father Greeley Gives Public Lecture "Scholastic Philosophy is not only alive today, but it is on the upward grade," said Father J. A. Greeley, S. J., dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, in a public lecture in the auditorium of the New Orleans Public Library on the evening of Tuesday, December 12. Before a large audience the dean presented his lecture on Scholastic philosophy under the title of "The Missing Chapter." The leaturer explained that his purpose was to supply the omission in Will Durant'e "Story of philosophy." After explaining the nature of philosophy in general, the lecturer pointed out that Scholastic philosophy continued as it began, as a revolt against chaos and a desire for order and careful appreciation, as well as understanding of fundamentals. Supplying the "Missing Chapter," Father Greeley outlined the history of Scholasticism through the eleventh to the thirteen centuries. He then briefly explained the content of Scholastic philosophy, showing the cohesion of parts, and comparing them to the organisms in a living body. References were made of the modern revival of Scholasticism in the Neo-Scholastlc movement. "The present trend in philosophy',' he said "is away from scepticism and idealism, away from Descarters, Hume and Kant and toward a system of philosophy that rests on sound first principles; a philosophy that defends reason and saves man from himself." In conclusion, Father Greeley Frosh Howl And Sophs Growl On Freshman Day The freshmen took over thfl reins of government in the university yesterday and made the sophomores toe the mark. Up to this time, the sophs had made the freshmen suffer untold indignities, but with the advent of Frosh Day, the shoe was transferred to the other foot. They say that money is scarce at the present time, but sophomores on the campus were even scarcer at noon yesterday. Some were home, hiding under their beds in mortal fear of the enemy, while others, it was reported, boarded freights for parts unknown. Others cut their classes and sought refuge in the safety of the downtown theaters, while still others (poor unfortunates) spent the better part of their lunch period playing target practice with the yearlings— they were the targets. The freshmen had the blood lust in their veins, and scoured every nook and cranny of the buildings in an attempt to unearth some offender. And when they found the desired offenders! Ah, me, there was naught but stinging sensations and burning reminders. What an impression the frosh did make! That was yesterday. The frosh still have today to wreak their re venge on the upperclassmen for the torments endured during the past three months. If th*y miss them today, well . . . But they are determined they will not miss. Sophomores beware! And then comes Monday. And then the world will be righted and even angrier sophs will deal severely with the now mighty rate. The Maroon extends to every member of the faculty and student body best wishes for a joyful Christmas ami a happy New Year. Great Football Schedule Near Completion To-day The greatest football schedule in the history of Loyola, including games with Mercer, Texas Christian XL, Centenary, and Mississippi A. & M., is rapidly nearing completion, Father Doonan, director of atletics, recently announced. The contracts have already been made with, T. C. U., Centenary, and Miss. A. & M., while games with three of the strongest Southeastern Conference teams are more than probable for the 1934 schedule. A game with Rice at Loyola, early in the season, is also likely. Approximately ten games will be on the Wolves schedule for the coming year and all of the teams under consideration would grace the hardest kind of a season for practically any college in the country. Coach "Doc" Erskine and Rev. J. B. Doonan have faitli in next year's Wolfpack and are trying to complete a schedule that will indicate exactly what they think of the prowess of the Wolves. "There is no reason why Loyola ahould not play any team In the country next year and we are confident of an even more than creditable showing regardless of the Circus Program THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1933 Night Club- Music: 8:30 to 10—Blue Parody Orchestra (representing N.

Gala Crowd Attends First Night of Rah Rah . Night Club COMPLETE NEW FLOOR SHOWS TONIGHT With a crowd that augurs well for t'ne success of the undertaking, the Loyola Gym Circus and Nife Club began last night when the Blue Parody orchestra and Pinkey's wwl Stair orcheietra filled the air with music far. far into the night. The sight that met the eyes of the capacity crowd was a gala one as ilie two hundred tables in the elaborately decorated gym began to fill with the merry makers. Long before the first floor show of the night, the very rafters hummed to the mumble and the rumble of, a thousand voices. Cigarette girls moved among the tables and black and white figures dotted the large floor as committeemen and head waiters seated the guestß. The lights, dimmed at the entrance end of the room by the long hanging streamers of the darker colors, purple, blue and green, cast brighter shadows on the crowd beneath as the rainbow theme brought the more vivid 'nues into the color scheme. At the far end of the room was the band platform, swinging from one side of the floor to the other in a half moon effect. At 9 p. m. the first floor show of the night was held and Irwin Lewis, popular master of ceremonies at Suburban Gardens introduced the four acts of the Jefferson Parish night club which were followed by three from the Vanity Club. The second show of the evening came from the university's radio station, WWL, and included popular songsters of the ether and broadcast comedians. James Wilson announcer on the station, presided over the show as master of ceremonies. Pinkey and his WWL Staff orchestra played from 10 to 11:30. The Blue Parody orchestra opened and closed the night. Second Nite Club Tonight Tonight at 8:30 there will be a repetition of the night club and reservations indicate that it will be even a greater success than was the first one last night. With an entirely different floor show, different performers, different orchestras, many of last night's attendance intend to put in an appearance and swell the crowd. Tonight Earl Dentin and Leslie George will furnis'h the music ana the first floor show comes direct from the stage of Club Forest with George McQueen as master of ceremonies. Later, the second show, an All- Star performance, will provide the entertainment. Circus Evident Whisperings -of what the circus would be like reached the ears of the night club frolickers last night Miniature of Plant Made By Students A miniature reproduction of a water purification plant as prepared by the senior chemistry students was shown and explained to members of the Chemistry Club, Thursday evening at the regular meeting. The demonstration followed a recent visit by t'ne senior class to the purification plant under the guidance of Frank Haas, assistant mechanical engineer of the plant. Efforts are now being made to have the entire Chemistry Club accompany the senior class on these visits to points of scientific interest, according to William Armshaw, secretary of the club.

The lack of rain hurt much of this years corn crop nationwide.
Some mid-western farmers report ears with no kernels on them, they just didn't pollinate.
Both field and sweet corn is growing well in Michigan.
Sweet corn is edible and makes up a small portion of what the 15,000 corn farmers grow in the state.
Field corn is primarily used for the livestock industry to feed animals and also used to make ethanol.

Does the Foo drummer always use Gretsch drumkit ???

New Football Stadium for Houston Cougars
DLR Group and PageSoutherlandPage will team to design new football stadium for Houston Cougars
(HOUSTON – June 12, 2012) – Game Day on the University of Houston campus will be better for fans and student-athletes in 2014. DLR Group and PageSoutherlandPage have been selected to design a new football stadium for the Houston Cougars football program to elevate the fan and student-athlete experience.
The new stadium design will have 40,000 seats, 22 luxury suites, 200 loge box seats, club seating for 650 fans, and enhanced press facilities for the 2014 season. Fan amenities will include signature shaded areas and breezeways, expanded concessions, and upgraded scoreboards and sound system. Succeeding phases will increase seating to 50,000, and ultimately 60,000. The total project budget is $105 million.
The new stadium will be constructed on the site of 71-year-old Robertson Stadium, which will be demolished after the 2012 season.
"The vision is to create a new venue that is captivating on game days and also an iconic, vibrant building on the campus 365 days a year," said DLR Group Principal Don Barnum. "The integrated PageSoutherlandPage | DLR Group design team looks forward to designing a stadium that will raise the profile of Houston football in the city, in Texas, and across the country."
"This project isn't just about replacing a stadium with a more modern facility; it's about creating a venue that showcases the football team's on-field accomplishments while providing a spectacular view of the downtown skyline," said PageSoutherlandPage Principal in Charge Jeffrey Bricker. "As Houstonians, we've seen the University of Houston become a bigger and bigger part what makes the city a great place to live, work and now, receive a Tier One education."
Improving the student-athlete experience is a focus of the master plan for Houston Cougar football. The new football complex will feature state-of-the-art locker facilities, including a locker room suite for Houston football and three visitor locker rooms; brand new playing surface; a 20,000 SF academic services building; a marching band rehearsal facility; and dedicated tailgating areas.
Larry Speck, Design Principal of PageSoutherlandPage, said, "This building will attract more visitors to the University of Houston campus—from loyal alumni and major donors to neighborhood kids with collegiate dreams—than any other. It will create a critical outreach to the community and a conspicuous window for Houstonians into their primary hometown academic institution."

How blazingly hot was the Warriors' shooting touch on Thursday night? Even their relatives were burying outside heaves.
Connecting on 51.7 percent of its field-goal attempts, the Lewis-Clark State women's basketball team got at least three points from all 10 of its players. The result was a slow-developing blowout: LCSC bolted past Rocky Mountain 92-68 at Warrior Gym.
Earlier in the week, the Warriors (19-7, 7-3) dipped out of the NAIA's top 25 rankings for the first time this season. And with Frontier Conference pacesetter Carroll College coming to Lewiston on Saturday, this game had a heightened sense of importance.
"I think we've lost a lot of games we could have competed in," freshman point guard BreAnna Mulvey said. "We were just ready. We need to win all our games up until (the) conference tournament."
Shaking off a recent chilly stretch, Mulvey tallied 18 points and seven assists. But on this night, she wasn't responsible for her family's most memorable moment. In a halftime shootout for fans, John Mulvey, her father, swished a 25-foot flat-footed 3-pointer to win $450 worth of diamonds.
"He gets excited for that," Mulvey said of her father. "He stays until halftime (of the men's game) to shoot the shot, and then he goes home."
Although the Warriors led nearly the entire game, Rocky Mountain stayed tethered to them. On a running fling by Ashley Griffith, the Bears made it 68-61 with 9:28 left.
But L-C pulled away from there, scoring 14 of the next 16 points. That included a 3-pointer by senior Jessica Foot that put her over the 1,500-point barrier for her career.
A fair amount of the Warriors' points came cheaply. They flashed a variety of full-court defenses, which forced 31 RMC turnovers and led to transition buckets.
LCSC went with the press because of the Bears' susceptibility to turnovers. But that wasn't the only reason.
"I've had people asking about Carroll all week," Warriors coach Brian Orr said, "and I wanted to make sure that we stayed focused on this game. And I think one of the best ways to do that is come out and press."
Foot, who has spent the last few weeks leaping milestones, finished with 18 points. She is now four 3-pointers away from passing Rosie Albert for second on LCSC's career list.
Cami Kalbfleisch added 17 points, Elise de Groot came off the bench for nine points and Grangeville native Leah McCauley "had her best game since coming back from knee surgery," Orr said, recording seven points and five rebounds.
With about two minutes remaining, Kalbfleisch was called for a technical foul for elbowing Ashley Griffith after Griffith had fouled her. While he isn't looking for more technicals, Orr said he appreciated his team's passion.
The Bears "are aggressive -- they're an aggressive team. And I think it kind of sends a message: 'Hey, we're not going to take that.' "
Edwards 8-13 2-2 18, Norby 3-7 3-4 9, Bitz 1-3 2-2 4, Graham 0-3 0-0 0, As. Griffith 6-13 1-2 16, Schillinger 2-6 2-4 7, Tempel 0-0 0-0 0, Nevrivy 1-3 0-0 3, Boggs 0-0 1-2 1, Workman 0-1 2-2 2, Matter 0-0 0-0 0, Am. Griffith 3-7 2-4 8, Fame 0-1 0-0 0. Totals 24-57 15-21 68.

Halftime score -- LCSC 45, RMC 37. Three-point goals -- RMC 5-19 (Edwards 0-1, Bitz 0-1, Graham 0-2, As. Griffith 3-6, Schillinger 1-2, Nevrivy 1-3, Workman 0-1, Am. Griffith 0-3); LCSC 11-18 (Kalbfleisch 3-3, Mulvey 3-4, Foot 4-7, West 1-2, Wittmer 0-1, Valle 0-1). Rebounds -- RMC 34 (Am. Griffith 8); LCSC 32 (Baker 7).

General Engineering ... Exploring the Engineering Profession
Many people are interested in engineering as a career, but are confused by the many different fields of engineering. To help these students the Allen School of Engineering and Technology admits engineering students who are undecided about a major into the category General Engineering.
The General Engineering program allows students to make progress towards an engineering degree while they are exploring the opportunities afforded by the various engineering disciplines. General Engineering is not a major, and students at Trine University cannot earn a degree in General Engineering.
All engineering programs require the same basic courses in mathematics, science, and communication. Thus, the first year of study is common for all engineers. Any specialized courses in a specific major (such as Engineering Graphics), that are normally taken during the freshman year, can be easily interchanged with social science and humanities courses taken in the sophomore year.
General Engineering students are not required to select an engineering major until they register for their fourth semester. This allows more than two semesters to explore the vast field of engineering and find the field that's right for you.
What are the Engineering options available at Trine University?
Bachelor of Science degrees are offered in the fields of chemical, civil, computer, electrical, mechanical engineering and design engineering technology. The Master of Engineering degree provides an additional year of design based, practice oriented education, with majors in civil and mechanical engineering. Both mechanical engineering and civil engineering offer five year programs, in which both the BS and the Master of Engineering degrees are awarded after five academic years and one summer of study.
In addition to these majors, minors are available in aeronautical, architectural, bioprocess, environmental, and metallurgical engineering, and in entrepreneurship and mathematics. These minors allow you to concentrate your electives into a specific specialized area. This additional specialization is denoted on the transcript.

Indian Tribes:
EPA Should Reduce the Review Time for Tribal Requests to Manage Environmental Programs
GAO-06-95, Oct 31, 2005
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6225
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Clean Water, Safe Drinking Water, and Clean Air Acts authorize the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to treat eligible Indian tribes in the same manner as a state (referred to as TAS) for implementing and managing environmental programs on Indian lands. Some states are concerned that tribes receiving authority to manage these programs may set standards that exceed the state standards and hinder states' economic development. GAO was asked to report on the (1) extent to which EPA has followed its processes for reviewing and approving tribal applications for TAS and program authorization under the three acts, (2) programs EPA uses to fund tribal environmental activities and the amount of funds provided to tribes between fiscal years 2002 and 2004, and (3) types of disagreements between parties over EPA's approval of TAS status and program authorization and methods used to address these disagreements.
EPA generally followed its established processes for reviewing and approving tribal requests for TAS and program authority under the three acts, according to GAO's analysis of approved requests. However, the review time for approving these requests generally took from about 1 year to more than 4 years. In addition, nearly all of the requests currently under review were submitted more than 1 year ago. Key factors contributing to the lengthy reviews include the multiple reviews required by the agency's regional and headquarters offices, a lack of emphasis within the agency to complete the reviews in a timely manner, and turnover of tribal and EPA staff. Moreover, EPA has not developed a written strategy that establishes overall time frames for reviewing requests. EPA officials agreed that more could be done to improve the timeliness of the review process but said that complex issues--including evolving Indian case law and jurisdictional issues--may have contributed to the lengthy reviews. Furthermore, EPA's review process is not always transparent on the status of tribes' TAS requests. Lack of transparency limits tribes' understanding of what issues may be delaying EPA's approval and what actions, if any, may be needed to address the issues. EPA provided Indian tribes about $360 million in grants to fund a broad range of tribal environmental activities from fiscal years 2002 through 2004. About half of these funds were distributed through two acts: the Indian Environmental General Assistance Program Act (about $114 million)--to help build capacity to administer environmental programs--and the Clean Water Act (about $66 million)--to help prevent and reduce water pollution. Since 1986, when Congress began amending the three environmental acts to allow TAS for tribes, disagreements over land boundaries and environmental standards have arisen between tribes, states, and others. Disagreements have been addressed through litigation, collaboration, and federal laws.
Status Legend:
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendation for Executive Action
Recommendation: To better facilitate the timely review of tribal requests for TAS status for program authorization and to increase the transparency of the process to tribes, the Administrator of EPA should develop a written strategy, including estimated time frames, for its tribal request review process and for providing periodic updates to the tribes on the status of their requests.
Agency Affected: Environmental Protection Agency
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The EPA Deputy Administrator issued the "Strategy for Reviewing Tribal Eligibility Applications to Administer EPA Regulatory Programs" on January 23, 2008. In implementing the strategy, EPA has completely cleared the backlog of TAS applications for Water Quality Standards that were awaiting EPA action, reduced the maximum TAS processing time by 50%, and reduced the average time by 17%.
