Homework 2- Treasure Hunt

I encountered a very interesting web page, whose URL is http://www.flyonthewall.tv/casestudies.php?site=entertainment. I want to know more about this site, so I need your help to hunt it down.

1. URL trimming is a way of striping URLs. It starts from the right side of the URL, gradually remove parts of URL until you find what you want. For example, our class web page is www.umiacs.umd.edu/~daqingd/Courses/lsbc690/fall03/. If my goal to find who is maintaining the page, and there is no such information in the web page, I can start by firstly removing fall03/, then labsc690/, then Courses/ until I reach www.umiacs.edu/~daqingd/, where I notice that it is Daqing He who is maintaining the page. Now using URL trimming,  please find which organization maintains the page?
