the ground, the H eppner

away from the visiting Pilot

Friday, Oct. 7, in Columbia
Basin Conference play. The
Mustangs, who improved to
3 and 0 in the CBC and 6 and
0 on the year, get a much
needed break this week with
a bye before getting back to
C BC play at W eston-
McEwen on Friday, Oct. 21.
The Rockets had the
First possession of the game
pinned back at their 10-yard
line after a deep kickoff.
They were unable to move
the ball and the Mustangs
took over at the Rocket 26-
yard line after a short punt.
Matt McCabe ran twice for
four yards before Casey
Maben took it in from the
21-yard line for the first
touchdow n o f the game.
M cCabe’s kick was good
and the Mustangs led 7-0
early in the game.
The Rockets were
able to move the ball inside
Mustang territory, but were
forced to turn the ball over
on downs at the 27-yard line.
After an incomplete pass,
Matt Kenny went for six and
an offside penalty against the
Rockets gave the Mustangs
a First down at the 39-yard
line. Maben ran for three,
and Quinn Peck went for
seven more and another First
down. Kenny picked up 19
yards, and McCabe ran twice
for 14 yards to the 18-yard
line where Peck hit Rory
Kilkenny in the end zone for
a touchdown. Kenny ran in
the two-point conversion for
a 15-0 lead late in the First
quarter.
The
M u sta n g s’
defense held on the Rockets
next possession and they
took over at their own 30-
yard line after forcing a punt.
Kenny ran three times for 35
By
yards and McCabe picked up
seven more. The drive stalled
with the Rockets recovering
a fumble on fourth down at
their own 37-yard line.
The
M u sta n g s’
defense stepped up again as
Kilkenny had a sack and
Caleb Maben picked off a
pass, returning it 17 yards to
the Pilot Rock 21-yard line.
Peck ran for five and Kenny
picked up Five more and a
first down, but a fumble was
recovered by the Rockets at
th e ir 11-yard line. The
defense held, and, after
forcing a punt, the Mustangs
took over at the Rocket 43-
yard line. Kenny ran for
eight, McCabe picked up
five and a first down, then
Kenny ran four times for 29
yards, but another fumble
w as reco v ered by the
Rockets at their five-yard
line.
The Rockets were
forced to punt again, and
Casey Maben returned it to
the eight-yard line to give the
M ustangs excellent field
position. McCabe took it to
the one where Kenny took it
in for the touchdown. The
kick was no good but the
Mustangs led 21 -0 late in the
second quarter.
The Rockets were
trying to get a score late in
the half, but Casey Maben
picked off a pass at the goal
line as the first half came to
an end.
The
M ustangs
wasted no time getting on
the board in the second half
after taking over at their 39-
yard line after the kickoff.
Kenny went for 44 yards,
then Caleb Maben went for
17 yards for the touchdown.
The kick failed, but the
Mustangs led 27-0 early in
the third quarter.
The Rockets took
the kickoff and drove down
the field, but a 40 yard field
goal hit the crossbar and
bounced back in their best
scoring threat of the night.

Internet Security Part 3
Nothing fails like success
By Pat Struthers of Pat Struthers Consulting
In my previous article, I talked about some simple
ways to secure your computer from direct security threats
from the Internet. Both strategies relied on the same basic
idea: if they c a n ’t find you, they c a n ’t get you.
Disconnecting from your service provider when you are
not using the Internet, and running some kind of Firewall
when you are online, will do that. Or at least they ought to.
One of the biggest headaches computer users have
come to tolerate in recent years is the system crash. The
screen freezes, the keyboard and mouse lock up, you stifle
a strong urge to break the keyboard in half and cram it in
the... Anyway, we’ve all been there. You turn the computer
off, restart it, watch the scrolling gibberish while praying
fervently to whatever computer deities exist that your work
has not disappeared forever.
Why does this happen? Why do we put up with it?
The blame lies in at least two places: with all of us (the
huddling computer masses) and with the Evil Empire of
Bill (i.e. Microsoft).
M icro so ft o p eratin g system s have been
temperamental and buggy since Bill Gates and Paul Allen
first sold IBM the first version of MS-DOS back in the
early 80’s. The original DOS was extremely primitive; its
main rival, CP/M, had more features and was certainly more
stable. But by making their first big sale to the largest seller
of personal computers in the universe (at that time, anyway),
Gates and Allen gained instant market share. And to keep
it, they adopted a cynical but successful design strategy.
This strategy was both clever and diabolical: instead
of Fixing the existing bugs in their software, they would
simply introduce a new version of the software, with ‘new’
features (‘new’ to DOS, anyway). With any luck, the rewrite
of their software and the gullibility of their customers would
take care o f any com plaints. A fter all, if n o o n e’s
complaining, there’s nothing wrong, right? Pay us more
money and we might fix it, eh?
The advent of the Windows operating system in
the earlier 90’s only made the bait-and-switch marketing
tactics of Microsoft more obnoxious than ever. As the
W indows system softw are becam e larger and more
complex, with more ‘features’, it also found more ways to
crash. A reliable backup system became a necessity rather
than a luxury. Only when Microsoft began to compete in
the business network market did it finally introduce a
reasonably ‘crash-proof operating system: Windows NT.
The release of NT finally convinced Microsoft that it must
at least attempt to fix some of the most glaring flaws if it
was to convince businesses that Windows was reliable
enough to be used as a server platform.
The release of Windows 95 coincided with the
Internet ‘boom ’ of the mid-90’s; ’95 was particularly
designed to take advantage of this by including all the basic
tools needed to connect to and use the Internet. Outlook
Express (an e-mail client) and Internet Explorer (a web
browser) were the most successful of these programs, and
they worked better than most third-party programs because
they enjoyed privileged access to deep parts of Windows,
as well as close ties to Microsoft’s best selling Office
software (i.e. Word, Excel, Access, Powerpoint, etc.).
So what? Deep integration of a software package
into the operating system is wonderful for performance,
but it also opens up a huge potential security hole: if that
software can be crashed or subverted, it can compromise
the entire operating system; a rogue program can do
anything and see anything it wants to. This is exactly the
situation with Internet Explorer. Since the newer versions
of Windows are not perfect either, and since there is still
no way to permanently remove IE from the equation, we’re
stuck with the same old buggy garbage that w e’ve been
putting up with for years. Right?
Not exactly. Windows XP and 2003, the most recent
Micosoft operating systems, are actually based on NT, not
the old bug riddled 95/98 system. They actually ARE more
crashproof than previous products, even though you may
have to buy a new computer to run them. But there is still
a problem; Internet Explorer, Outlook and other products
still have deep access to the system. What are we to do?
First you need to make sure that the few problems
Microsoft DOES acknowledge are fixed. Run Windows
Update, regardless of the version of Windows. It first
upgrades Internet Explorer to the latest version (required,
not optional!) and then downloads and installs the available
security fixes. This at least puts your computer in the best
shape that Microsoft can get it, security-wise.
Next, dump Internet Explorer. Mozilla Firefox
(www.mozilla.org) and Opera (www.opera.com) are both
free, easily downloaded from the Internet, and come with
a ton of security features. Neither o f these runs in a
‘privileged’ mode in Windows, nor do they rely on the
dangerous ActiveX-based extensions that most spyware
and malicious ads use to subvert Internet Explorer.
Then get rid of Outlook. Mozilla Thunderbird (see above)
and Eudora Light (www.eudora.com) are excellent free e-
mail programs, with the same basic features as Outlook.
An even safer option, if you are willing to do without off
line access to your mail, is to use your ISP’s web-based e-
mail system. This puts a lot of the burden for virus/spyware
scanning and spam blocking in the hands of your ISP’s
system rather than yours. If you are also using a secure
web browser, you are pretty safe from most e-mail based
attacks.
Lastly, make sure you check for updates on all these
programs at least monthly, particularly Windows; new
threats are always coming down the pipe. My next article
will cover the various free and commercial virus, spyware,
and adware deterrents that are available.
