I AM able to update the Encina website. I was in Sacramento for the Jazz Jubilee last weekend on Sunday. "Avalon Swing" with Shelley Burns 70 and Tom Phillips 65 played during the Kings game and the emcees gave the score before and after their great set. While waiting for "Bill and Eddie" to start on top of the Holiday Inn, we got the heartbreaking news about Horry's three pointer at the buzzer beating the Kings. At least we got to see a very entertaining performance by Shelley Burns 70, as she performed with her husband Bill of "Bill and Eddie". We watched a tape of the game Sunday night and what an amazing comeback by the Lakers after being down 24 points. Then to see the Kings bounce back and beat the Lakers in game 5. What a gritty comeback in the fourth quarter. Here's hoping the Kings can finish off the Lakers tonight in game 6! YEARBOOKS I received a CD from Stuart Freedman at Encina containing scans of all the pages from the class of 71 yearbook. I haven't had time to process the images and add them to the website yet. For those of you who are new, Encina plans to eventually scan in all the yearbooks for the website. This is the first yearbook to be scanned. ALUMNI CHALLENGE Bob Goosmann '74 reviewed the game tape and gathered the following rebound and assist stats for the alumni team. Rebounds Assists Points ChrisDahlberg (injury) 2 0 3 James Jones 7 0 21 Bob Goosmann 14 4 7 Rafael Enriquez 7 4 21 Ryan Norris 5 7 30 Adam Guzman 4 5 10 Mark LaCoste 5 0 0 Todd Brownell 1 0 5 Someone wrote that they weren't interested in receiving a copy of the alumni challenge tape and to save the money and put it to better use. If you do not want a copy, please write and we'll take you off the distribution list and save Encina a few bucks. Steve Palmer 74 is finishing up the alumni challenge tape this week and Encina should be able to start duplicating the tapes and mailing them out next week.

SHULER MY AUTO SHOP TEACHER (OH MERCY !!) Favorite_memory: GRADUATION DAY CHRISTINE BURGHGRAVE 87 Occupation: Personnel Specialist for Youth Authority Bio: I went to San Jose State for one year...to bowl, not get an education. I then moved to Fresno and attended one year at their Junior College and then came home. I've taken a few classes here and there at American River College, but never finished. I've worked in accounting, as an administrative assistant (more than once), and finally landed with the state about 4 1/2 years ago. I got married in March of '96 to a great guy named Roger. I had my first son Taylor in September of '97 and my second son Skyler in June of '01. We bought a house in North Highlands the same month we got married and are still there. Friends: My friends were Wendy Onstine (and yes I finally got a hold of her), Denise Souza (saw her a few times after graduation, but haven't been in touch since), Cherish Cooley (we ran into each other at Jury Duty and have occasionally e-mailed), Kim Trehern (haven't seen her since graduation, but e-mailed recently). Hobbies: I actually gave up bowling last year when I was pregnant and with 2 kids I just don't have the time anymore. Our family has quads (4-wheel atv's) and we recently purchased a Weekend Warrior (travel trailer that hauls toys!!!) so that we can go as a family to places like Sand Mountain and Pismo Beach. When my husband finds more places with sand dunes, we'll be there too! We also enjoy going to drag races and motorcross races. I'm sure my 4 year old will soon have us involved in some other things such as BMX or go kart racing...he loves to go fast!!! Kids: Taylor is 4 years old (almost 5) and Skyler is 11 mo. old. I never thought I'd end up with 2 boys. They are so much fun! The oldest looks just like his dad and the youngest looks like me. I think we're done !?! Grade_school: K-3 at Thomas Edison and 4-6 at Mission Avenue Grade_school_friends: Wendy Onstine, Tyrone Harding, Sparkie Davis...that's all I can remember...K-3 was a long time ago! Junior_high: Jonas Salk Junior_high_friends: Wendy Onstine, Al Phillips (I had the biggest crush on him and he liked my best friend, Wendy), Tyrone Harding & Sparkie Davis (if my memory is correct). I had other friends, but they went on to Rio. There is one other person that I'd love to find and her name was Tracy Marco. Memorable_teachers: Mr. Dahlin, no explanation needed, he was great! Mrs. Young because she gave me my first job. Mr. Figenshu, only because he locked me out of a final and my dad had to come down to the school. Oh, and what about Mr. Record who tried to fail me because I got the chicken pox. I had to go to night school at AR because of him. Favorite_memory: When I finally made the drill team my senior year, after 4 attempts. I think they felt sorry for me. Oh well, it was fun for me! CAROLYN GIBSON 87 Occupation: Missionary Associate Christian & Missionary Alliance Bio: I worked as a bookkeeper for ten years before moving up to Redding to (finally) attend college. Last year I graduated with my degree in Business Administration Management. Recently I was appointed as a missionary associate and assigned as the assistant to the Balkans Field Director in Macedonia. Trivia: Two mission trips working in humanitarian aid, teaching English, and sharing the love of Jesus through words and actions in Macedonia, Kosovo and Bosnia. Friends: I'm blessed to still have the same best friends as I did at Encina... 18 years and counting. Favorite_memory: Junior Year -- Drill Team -- performing to "Blue Monday" at the Kings vs. Lakers Half-Time. Go Kings! Alumni_in_contact: Robyn & Gina ERIK LOZA 87 Occupation: Operations Manager Bio: After graduating from Encina, I attended American River College for a couple of years but just couldn't stay focused enough to stick with with it and finish up. "You're a bright student, Erik, but you really need to apply yourself", the instructors would say. They were, of course, correct. I ended up moving out and going to work full time to support myself and am still with that same company today. Anyway, school was school and work is work but I always found myself drawn to things I was really intense about. Biology was always an interest and photography, as well. In the early 90's, there was an explosion in popularity of reptiles as pets and several special-interest magazines appeared. An acquaintance who knew I had a background in this field suggested I submit some work to them. To make a long story short, I now specialize in photographing venomous reptiles and arthropods (bugs, more or less), have travelled to Mexico to shoot crocodiles and rattlesnakes twice, have become pretty good friends with many zoo Trivia: I've been stung by scorpions, bitten by a venomous lizard, slept beneath a tree full of vampire bats, and caught more than 1,000 snakes. Friends: Carlo Gomez and Alex Philo were my best friends. I remember Cathy Mitchell and her boyfriend BJ (don't recall his last name), too. Have no idea where any of them are today. Hobbies: The travel and photography, of course. It's difficult for some people to understand how intentionally putting yourself in a position where you might be gravely injured could be enjoyable, yet I find it highly rewarding. I also speak and organize field trips a couple of times each year for our local reptile and amphibian study group, the Northern California Herpetological Society. Grade_school: Hubert H. Bancroft Elementary Grade_school_friends: Family moved after grade school, so only new friends at Encina. Junior_high: Jonas Salk Memorable_teachers: Mr. Figenshu, for his laid-back demeanor, Mrs. Kojima, for her energy, and Mr. Dahlin, just for being a good guy. Favorite_memory: Graduation day. Finally done! MADRIGALS / JACK CAREY I have created a mailing list for former Encina Madrigals, many of whom were students of Jack Carey. You can join the Madrigals mailing list by sending a blank message to: encinamadrigals-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Kathy Cooper 66 wrote: I see Jack Carey, long-time choral music teacher from Encina, every Sunday at our church.

Attack of the Clones Lea Goldman, 06.10.02 A potent and malicious new virus is making its way around the Internet. Brace yourself for a long, hot summer of annoyance and computer meltdowns. With self-help book titles like Manifest Your Destiny, Wayne W. Dyer has cultivated a loyal following of New Age needniks. But in early May the e-mail list hosting company that manages an unofficial Dyer fan club smelled big trouble when, in a single week, 384 unwitting new subscribers e-mailed in to sign up for hokey messages with headers like Seeds for the Garden of Your Mind. A week before there had been only 5. Blame Dyer's overnight celebrity on an eight-month-old virus named Klez, a nasty bit of self-replicating software currently making the rounds on the Internet. (The word "klez" is written in the code, hence the name.) Its modus operandi is to blast e-mails to all the names in Microsoft Outlook's address book, infecting random files on the hard drive and attaching them to outbound messages. The Dyer fan site had to send e-mails to all its new subscribers to confirm their interest. No one knows yet who wrote Klez. Its first outbreak was in Asia last October. But it is the latest--and potentially scariest--of about 200 worms and viruses circulating on the Net. Klez's newest strains, discovered in mid-April, quickly topped the watch lists of anti-virus software firms like Symantec and Sophos, which say Klez caused 85% of all infections in April. It's still too early to estimate the cost of Klez, but it is proliferating quickly, thanks in part to its nearly 30 possible subject lines. Some ("A IE 6.0 Patch" and "Your Password") are hard to resist. Others ("How Are You" and "Congratulations") are ridiculously mundane. The last four big epidemics--Nimda, Code Red, Sircam and the I Love You bug--racked up a combined $13 billion in lost productivity and labor costs for cleanup, according to research firm Computer Economics. While just about anyone can write a virus, teens and college kids on break from school are the most frequent perps. "Kids have more free time on their hands," says April Goostree, virus research manager for McAfee.com. Sharpei, a new virus Web cops have been tracking, was written by a 16-year-old European cyberchick nicknamed Gigabyte and is thought to be the first to exploit a hole in C#, Microsoft's new programming language. Viruses, worms and other so-called malware exploit programming blunders in software. At their most benign, viruses eat up precious storage space, slowing or crashing computers. More severe ones destroy or randomly distribute potentially sensitive files. At their worst, viruses are a useful tool to commandeer computers as part of a distributed denial-of-service attack, which paralyzes a site with a barrage of useless data packets. Yahoo and Ebay were downed by such attacks two years ago. The first Klez strain manipulated a hole in Internet Explorer and tricked the browser into launching infected Outlook e-mail attachments by fiddling with the message's header or instructions for encoding and decoding messages. Klez is so nefarious that you don't have to click on anything to launch it. Simply viewing an Outlook message in the preview window will set it off. No need to worry about getting blamed, though, since Klez steals names from the address book and sends e-mails under those names and even the anti-virus vendors' names, a trick called spoofing. Microsoft promptly issued a patch, and the virus-scanning firms followed suit with their own updates. But some Klez strains are so shrewd they can disable virus-scanning features. Open an infected attachment, and you're screwed. Klez also plants another file-damaging virus that targets file-sharing networks. Because of its multiple methods of infection, Klez is considered a "blended threat," one of the most lethal types of viruses. Klez is the first virus since the Nimda worm to reach level four out of a possible five on Symantec's severity scale. Broadband has increased the speed of infection. Hackers target broadband connections because their IP addresses don't change, making them easier to pin down. High-speed links can send and receive large data files, ideal for sophisticated virus programs. And because broadband is "always on," it often automatically previews e-mails, launching the virus. In the first weekend of May, Symantec received 10,000 Klez alerts from its customers, twice as many as on a typical weekend. Viruses have come a long way in the last few years. In 1999 the Melissa virus was the first to replicate itself globally via e-mail. (Its 33-year-old creator, David Smith, scored a 20-month prison sentence in early May.) A year later the I Love You virus became the most expensive one to date--$8.7 billion in estimated damage--partly because it quickly organized massive denial-of-service attacks. Last year's Nimda, a blended threat like Klez, boasted four different ways to invade computers. The greatest fear among virus-busters is what's called a metamorphic virus. These could have the ability to change their code after each time they infect yet another computer, mutating around obstacles much like HIV. Such shape-shifters would evade many virus scanners, which look only for signature chunks of code within an already discovered virus. Like Klez, future viruses will exploit known security flaws. And there are plenty of those. Last year CERT Coordination Center, the security watch group in Pittsburgh, reported 2,437 security vulnerabilities in software products, up from 171 in 1995. "There's too much pressure on software vendors to get to market quicker," says David Evans, a computer science professor at the University of Virginia. "And there's not enough pressure from the government or legal system for them to get it right." Some 95% of corporate networks have anti-virus tools in place, but consumers are easy prey. The majority of the 69 million Americans surfing the Net from home do not regularly update their anti-virus scanners (if they even own one) with the latest security patches, despite getting alerts from their anti-virus vendors. Security is only as good as its last update. Research firm Gartner predicts that through 2005, 90% of cyberattacks will exploit security holes for which patches have already been issued. "If you are in a big company, you have a full-time professional who is actively pushing the patches on users. At home there's nobody pushing you. You don't even know you need it," says William Orvis, a security specialist with the Computer Incident Advisory Capability team, a unit of the Department of Energy. It is frighteningly easy for aspiring hackers ("script kiddies") to compose viruses from available code, thanks to the estimated 30,000 Web sites offering how-to guides. "You can practically go to Barnes & Noble and buy a book on virus writing," says David Perry, director of education at Trend Micro, an anti-virus software vendor. Used copies of the virus bible, The Giant Black Book of Computer Viruses, are still available online. "Fun for hackers," says one review. Companies are reluctant to admit they've been victims of cyberattacks, forcing cybercops to play catch-up. One deterrent to companies giving access to investigators is that they don't want them sniffing around corporate documents and hard drives. "The scope of the problem is huge, and law enforcement can only do as much as it gets access to," says Gregory Schaffer, a former Justice Department prosecutor of cybercrime, now head of the computer crime division of PricewaterhouseCoopers. It gets worse. Viruses have a whole new breeding ground in cell phones and handheld computers. Two years ago Spain's wireless carrier Telefónica suffered the first cellular virus when a worm hit random phones with mean-spirited short messages. Later that year a Trojan horse, a seemingly innocuous program with a built-in backdoor for attackers, caused several of NTT Docomo's cell phones to flood Japan's emergency phone line with calls. Four known Palm-plaguing threats roam the wild today, spreading by way of synch and beaming features. Some just hide or delete applications, while a Trojan horse called Palm.MTXII will replace notes with gobbledygook. Wi-Fi local area networks are also vulnerable. "In a doomsday scenario, we could see a threat to tens of millions of PCs that carries over to hundreds of millions of wireless devices," says Stephen Trilling, director of research at Symantec. That scenario isn't far off.
