Railroads May Slash Salaries First of Dual Debates Taken By S.C. Team Redlands Pair Is Downed By Patrick and Bell on Arms Question Judges Vote Two to One Series Will Be Completed By Groman and Feder; Two Win at Utah Rising Costs Believed Will Force Reduction; New Men To Be Hired NEW YORK, March 13.—<U.P>— There were signs tonight that the railroads might strike back at rising costs of operation which have splashed red ink in the balance sheets of most carriers. One sign came from Patrick H. Joyce, vigorous head of the Chicago and Great Western railroad company, who suggested a 25 per cent pay cut for railroad workers— three-fifths to be used in hiring additional employees, and two-fifths to be used in meeting needs of the railroads. He said: "The investors in railroad securities have taken their beating in a thorough and realistic way and they probably will have to take more if something is not done to lessen the expense of operation of railroads. I think it is now up to railway labor to see the light and accept a return within reason and with real benefits to the thousands of railway men now unemployed.'' On April 1. railroads put into effect an additional 5 per cent wage increase—the last increase under the wage agreement. The agreement provides that no change in the wage rate may be sought until May. Several executives reportedly are considering seeking a reduction in wages after that time, some claiming that after April 1 railroad wages will be the highest in history. .W. Will Present Doll Show * * * * * * * * * * * vent Scheduled for April 6 to 8 Japanese dolls, in gay and festive kimonos, Spanish dolls lose tiny heads are covered with lace mantillas, Dutch dolls th long flaxen hair and wooden shoes, and American dolls apped in camel s hair polo coats will all be on exhibit when e campus Y.W.C.A. presents to the university and to the •¥• community its first annual doll show to be held in the Social hall In the first of a two debate series with Redlands university, S. C. camt out the victor last night with Howard Patrick and Homei. Bell of Troy taking a two to one decision over Bernard Hyink and Weston Macintosh from the other school. The event was held in Porter hall and the question of banning the international shipment of arms and munitions was discussed. This debate was one of the closest of the season, being hotly contested by the four men who have appeared together with the same question on two other occasions. Patrick and Bell now have won two of three meetings, taking the affirmative each time. In their recent bay-region trip the Trojan pair also encountered Redlands in the finals for the championship of the Pacific province of Pi Kappa Delta. Annual Affair The University of Redlands by reason of having won the national debating title in previous years has established itself as one of the most formidable opponents which S. C. has in this part of the country. Their coach is Dr. Rav Nichols. The dual debates have come to be an annual affair. Tonight Robert Feder and Arthur Groman will travel to Redlands to complete the series. The former student has been prominent in tournament debating for S. C. and Groman represented Troy against California in January. They will be accompanied by Dr. Alan Nichols, coach. Last night Howard Patrick was | named first speaker of the evening by the judges, consisting of Rob- j ert Clark, debate coach at Pasa- i dena Junior College; W. H. Head, j coach of Venice Union high school; and Frank Clemensen, coach at Franklin high school. News Received Clinton Jones, varsity debate manager, said last night that good news had been received from Mar-tyn Agens and James Kirkwood, S. C. forensic team, which is progressing eastward in a debating tour of the country'. At the University of Utah before a large crowd they won a two to one victory with nondecision contests following at Utah State and the University of Wyoming. Last night they were to have appeared against Creighton and tonight against the University j of Kansas. After the Redlands series no debates are scheduled on the Trojan campus until April. Yesterday a group of freshmen went to Glendale junior college to meet forensic teams there. Was Yesterday's Rally an Example of Trojan Spirit? (An Editorial) When S. C. had a winning football team, nobody paid any attention to the rallies, spirit at the games was ,-eth-argic. Last season, S. C. had a losing, but a fighting grid team—spirit ran rampant. When basketball teams were good, but not quite good enough, the spirit on the campus was again high. When one of the greatest Trojan teams ever to come on the court returns to th' .tmpus after winning the Pacific Coast championshj Jie student body bluntly snubs them. The student body snubbed the basketball team yesterday morning. Knowing how apathetic the students nave been of late, the rally committee deliberately brought the rally to the students by holding it outside. The rest of the campus could not help realizing that something was in progress—in bold type, the Daily Trojan announced the affair—yet they stood on street corners like nothing had happened. Athletics are not conducted solely for the benefit of the participants. The Associated Students do not spend considerable sums on teams each year solely for the benefit of athletes—the student body is supposed to be interested in the teams and support them. If the undergraduate of the University of Southern California cannot at least walk over to the front of the Administration building to congratulate a team that fought as hard as that Trojan team at Corvallis Monday night, then it is time that basketball was made purely an intramural sport. The handful of students who met the team at the Southern Pacific station yesterday morning saw a team that was enthusiastic. True, there were few students at the station, just as there were few students to wish them good luck the night thev left—but they knew that not, many Trojans would tal^f the trouble to drive to the station. But when that basketball squad reached the campus, they must have wondered if the hard battle against Oregon State was worth all the fight, spirit, and heart which they put into it. Less than 300 students gathered in front of the Administration building to give a few yells for the men—several thousand students stood on corners not a block away and went on with their regular daily (Continued on Page Two i Famous Bands Will Be Heard At Open House Fio Rito, Grier, Lombardo, Waring, Noble To Play At Sigma Nu's Shucks!

March 13—(HP)—1Wholesale trials of thousands who participated in the abortive rebellion which swept Greece in the past 10 days will be started in military tribunals tomorrow. A policy of "merciless punishment" for the rebel rabble and their leaders was enunciated by an official spokesman tonight. The revolution was ended, but martial law will be continued in most parts of Greece until the trials are ended and the sentences carried out. Hundreds will be executed and thousands given long terms in prison. Senate to Dissolve The senate then will be dissolved and general elections held. The Communist. Venizelos and other opposition political parties will be dissolved. Former Premier Eleutherioz Venizelos. leader of the rebellion, escaped before the complete collapse of. his lost cause, and reached Cas-sos. in the Dodecanese islands. He landed there frcm the cruiser Av-eroff. and was transferred to the island of Rhodes off the coast of Asia Minor in an Italian steamship. Accompanied by Wife With him went his wife, two senators and three deputies from the Greek parliament.

Council Opposes Strike Thirty Students Ask for Provost's Approval of April 1 2 Action WESTWOOD, March 13.—(Exclusive) — The Associated Student council, student body governing organization oL the University of California at Los Angeles, tonight unanimously adopted a resolution against the national student strike against war, sponsored by the N.SL. and L.I.D., and scheduled for April 12. The resolution reads as follows: "The council goes on record as emphatically opposing the strike on April 12 as hindering a real movement toward world peace and as opposing 'vigilante' activities on that date as tending toward violence on the campus." A verbal battle over the strike has been earned on for several days on the U.CL.A. campus between N.S.L. leaders and Remington Olm-stead. leader of the "vigilantes," a pseudo-patriotic organization. Rarely is it possible for college students to enjoy the outstanding dance orchesras, and it's an event when opportunity is provided where they may hear Fiorito, Grier, Lombardo, Ray Noble, Wayne, George Olson, Fred Waring, Paul Whitman and numerous other favorites lal in one evening, at one place, and at no j expense.

Letts Decides Congress May Not Set Price and Amount Against Roosevelt WASHINGTON, March 13 —(U.P) —Public Utility companies surged | forward in a counter-attack against ; President Roosevelt tonight, charg-• ing he was using his high office to disseminate "propaganda." In Congress, members rushed to get on one side or the other of what probably will be the fiercest fight of the year—The struggle over adoption or rejection of the Wheeler-Rayburn bill which would drive all utUity holding companies out of existence within five years unless they can demonstrate that they are operating in the interest of the public. Mr. Roosevelt indorsed the biU yesterday in a message to Congress in which he accused the utility companies of establishing a system orities and fraternities on the SC of "private socialism." He said the campus for no-charge dances, they have been expanded to include card playing, and an informal evening's for students. Similar open houses were held at the Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Chi houses during the past semester. Women Students Invited To Dinner gas and electric companies were conducting a widespread propaganda campaign in an attempt to defeat the Wheeler-Rayburn bill. Rep. Sam Rayburn. D., Tex., coauthor of the measure, picked up that charge today and carried it to the floor of the house. He asked permission to insert in the congressional record letters which he said a utility company had ordered its employes to write to members of (Continued on Page Four) PROVIDENCE. R. I.. March 13— (IIP)—The Agricultural Adjustment act is unconstitutional as applied to intra-state business. Judge Ira Lloyd Lets ruled in Federal District court today. Judge Letts granted an injunction restraining Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace and local Ma^-et Administratior O. A. Jamison from enforcing the Agriculture Adjustment act ?eainst three Rhodt Island retail milk dealers. IllegaUty Claimed The petitioners, Clarence E. Collins of Johnston, Thurston Helger-son of Cranston, and Albert L. Latham of North Smithfield charged that the act was being enforced against them illegally, in that their business was being carried on solely within the confines of Rhode Island. Upholding the petitioners. Judge Letts in an extemporaneous ruling said in pan: "There is no authority for the present or his agents or Congress to interfere with the business of a person who is conducting it solely within his own state. Wipe Out State Rights "If such were a fact, aU state rights with regard to the supervision of business would be wiped out. If the government can dictate the pricc of milk and the amount any particular dealer may seU, it would be justified similarly in dictating to news dealers and the small corner drugstore. "Congress has no more authority over the three plaintiffs than the Canadian Parliment at Ottawa." The plaintiffs at an all-day hearing complained that they had been required to pay assessments to the local market administrator to maintain his office; that the amount of milk they could sell was dictated by him, and that if they exceeded it they had to contribute to an equalization pool; and that they were required to make out innumerable reports which interfered with pursuit of their business. In answer to several inquiries which they have received, members of the international relations com-mitte said veserday that all women students are invited to attend he American-Japanese good will dinner which is being sponsored by the Trojan 'Y'.

March 13.—<U.P) —Investigation of legalized horse racing in California, the results of which will be used as the basis of regulatory legislation, was assured tonight after Assemblyman Charles W. Lyon, Los Angeles, announced a meeting Friday of a special committee named by the legislature last year. All nomination petitions for the coming Women's Self Government association must be returned today by 3 p.m., according to an announcement by Beverlv Cain, election commissioner for the W.S.GA. "As all petitions must be completely filled out and returned to 234 Student Union on Thursday, it is absolutely essential that aU who wish to be nominated should obtain their petition blanks as soon as nossible," Miss Cain said last night.

Juniors and seniors only are eligible to run for president and vice-president. The other two offices are opened to all undergraduate students. AU candidates must have maintained a general scholastic average of not less than 1.3 during the entire period of their college careers. "If the senator attempts any physical demonstration," snapped Glass, "I'll be right here with him.

Young, in charge of trans-Pacific flight tests for the Pan-American Airways, announced last night test flights would be under way "within the next six months." Young arrived yesterday from New York to take charge of operations of the big Sikorsky four-motored "Clipper No. 7," sister ship to the "Brazilian Clipper." which will make test flights along the Pacific coast.

Marvelous has been working on a game called Dragon Marked for Death. Grand Knights History producer Yoshifumi Hashimoto told Siliconera that Dragon Marked for Death will be an online Nintendo 3DS game, after a recent platform change.
"Dragon Marked for Death is still in development. Right now we are working on the network features. It's coming along quite well, it's just that we're not at a point where we can announce anything," Hashimoto said. "The online is going to be amazing, but we can't announce anything else right now, though."
DMFD is being developed by Mega Man 9 developer Inti Creates. Let's hope we hear more about this one soon. More 3DS RPGs!

In the late 1700's Japan's only connection with Europe was around trade that took place on Dejima, an artificial island on Japan's doorstep which was essentially a collection of warehouses built by the Dutch mercantile empire in Nagasaki Bay.
No matter how intriguing this historical time period was, despite an adventure in the middle and a few other interesting twists and turns, I found parts of this book a real slog. It was necessary for me to do some research on Dejima (Wikipedia) to even make a start and be able to understand what was going on.
Jacob De Zoet is a Dutchman who finds himself far from his Dutch fiance on the island of Dejima and falls in love with a Japanese woman. The naive accountant is surprisingly clever at dealing with tricky cultural issues and crooked sailors. His honest approach somehow results in career achievements which are brilliant in a place where survival was not easy. Some of the descriptions of early surgical practices are visceral and the 'nunnery' where Orito ends up is horrific. Jacob De Zoet is not a character you will soon forget even though his Dutch cronies and Japanese translators were actually so non-descript after awhile, that I lost track of who was who (but it didn't really matter).
If you are a great lover of historical fiction, this would be an excellent book for you. If you want an engaging captivating read, you might want to take a pass. I would put this book in the "lost opportunity" category. He had a great thing going with the story, the characters, the setting, and the adventure, but it's too bad it got so boggy because it could have been a blockbuster. If you are good at skimming over bogs and finding the solid nuggets, by all means give it a go. There are plenty of really great parts too. Mitchell is a famous author and there is genius in the writing. I am actually glad I read it for when the movie comes out – it would make a great Pirates of the Caribbean type film!

The ABCs about Rome
Tips: All roads conduct to Rome. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Rome wasn't built in one day.
1. Rome's would-be founders, Romulus & Remus, were conceived by Rhea Silvia from god Mars or demi-god Hericules. They were abondoned in the Tiber River by Amulius to die, saved by miracles and suckled by a female-wolf.
2. Pantheon means 'of all gods'. Legend tells, an eagle took the carcass of Romulus (founder of Rome) to heaven from this area.
3. Rome is made up of seven hills east of the Tiber river with in the ancient city. The hills are: Aventine, Caelian, Capitoline, Esquiline, Palatine, Quirinal and Viminal.
4. Augustus established the first Roman Empire in 44 B.C. and Romulus Augustulus was the last emperor.
5. Rome is located on the banks of the Tiber river, which is an important outlet to the sea through Ostia port.
6. Ancient and modern Rome have one important thing in common, large number of gods or modern day saints.
7. Rome is a seat to Roman Catholic church and Vatican city.
8. Vatican city, might mean 'the hill of prophecy'.

10. Rome is full of beautiful architectures, sculptures and paintings.

Tonka Bean Ice Cream with Scotch Caramel Swirl Recipe
This ice cream is something special. The flavor of tonka bean makes the ice cream taste surprisingly like my favorite storebought flavor, Cherry Garcia. And though the caramel contains no butter, the caramel swirl is decidedly buttery and savory from the smoky scotch.
Note: Tonka beans are illegal for use in food in the United States due to their high level of coumarin. If your health is in any way compromised, don't use them. If, however, you are in perfect health and want to try this awesome ice cream, you can find the beans for sale online. If you'd like to make this ice cream without the tonka beans, a half tablespoon each of vanilla and almond extracts can be substituted. I also suggest infusing some slightly over-toasted slivered almonds in addition to as little as half a teaspoon of almond extract, since the custard does have a toasted almond flavor. About a quarter cup of over-toasted almonds infused in the hot liquid for an hour, then pureed and strained should be sufficient.
- Yield:makes 1 1/2 quarts
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:12 hours
- For the Ice Cream
- 1 quart half and half (or 2 cups each milk and heavy cream)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 small or 1 very large tonka bean
- 6 egg yolks
- For the Caramel
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean
- 1/4 cup scotch
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or half and half
For the Ice Cream Base: Combine half and half with sugar in medium saucepan. Grate tonka bean into liquid with microplane. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to be sure sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to steep for 15 minutes. Place yolks in medium mixing bowl. Whisking constantly, pour half-and-half mixture into bowl with yolks, then scrape mixture into saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with spatula and scraping bottom often to prevent curdling. Once thick enough to coat spatula, remove from heat and strain immediately through fine mesh strainer. Chill over ice, then place in a lidded container and allow to rest overnight in the refrigerator.
For the Caramel: Place sugar, water, and salt in medium saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Allow to come to a boil, then watch carefully until sugar begins to caramelize. Gently swirl to promote even caramelization. Once caramel reaches a dark honey color, remove from heat. Allow to darken slightly more off the heat to almost the color of maple syrup. Slowly and away from yourself, drizzle in scotch and cream. It will bubble and sputter and your caramel will seize so be careful. Place over low heat, whisking gently every few minutes, until seized caramel is fully melted. Set aside and allow to cool. Chill thoroughly before churning ice cream.
When you're ready to churn, pour chilled base into ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions. When ice cream is ready, pack a thin layer into the bottom of a heavy duty plastic or metal container, then drizzle with caramel. Repeat until all ice cream and caramel has been layered into container. Freeze at least 1 hour until firm.

The place is often packed with tourists, but if there's waves they tend to stay out of the water. If theres waves, its really consistant.
Swell changes dramatically with the tides. Keep your ear on the Coconut Wireless for surf reports, and hop on it if its breaking.
This spotcan get really good, but the wind can play havoc with it. If the waves ever hit over five feet, head to Lamai's reefs or Secret Beach's perfect bay.
Inconsistant, totally, but one of the best spots on the island for a bit of speed. Good lefts & rights. You can rent boards here. I've seen it machine perfect maybe three times in two years. If its on expect to paddle a lot. It's easy to get swept down the beach.

sweet surprise! - Just came back from New Year holiday and had a unexpected surprise in chawang beach. 3 out of 5 days with 2-3 ft surf. You have to duck and dodge the swimmers and anything over 3ft is a closeout but after no surf in 6 months it was beautiful! You can rent boards of all sizes, there's one place with fins for boogies and if you talk to the right local he can take you out to some isloated breaks. good luck!

Xilinx free development system supports Linux
Keywords:linux? red hat enterprise linux 3? integrated software environment? webpack 7.1i?
Highlighting the growing popularity of the Linux operating system among designers, Xilinx Inc. has for the first time included Linux support on its free, downloadable development system.
According to Jim Cairns, director of corporate solutions marketing for Xilinx, the company's decision to support the 32bit version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 on the Integrated Software Environment (ISE) Webpack 7.1i is a response to customer demand and the growing number of EDA workstations expected to run on Linux.
Cairns cited an August 2004 forecast by Gartner Dataquest that calls for the number of EDA workstations shipped with Linux to grow from roughly 25 percent in 2004 to more than 35 percent in 2007.
"Linux is really coming on strong," Cairns said. "Even some of our large corporate customers have been asking for this for awhile."
While this is the first time Xilinx has included Linux support on a downloadable Webpack release, other Xilinx products have supported Linux over the past few years. Xilinx's ISE 7.1i, released March 1, supports 64bit Linux.
In addition to Linux support, the Webpack 7.1i includes support for Xilinx's Spartan-3 Generation, Virtex-4 and CoolRunner-II families. Webpack 7.1i also includes a technology viewer that provides a schematic view of post-synthesis netlists, a design summary view that updates as new information becomes available and messaging filtering capabilities for report customization.
Webpack 7.1i also includes cable server features that enable remote configuration of devices across a network.

I'm half-way through the book and am impressed not only with the nice, vivid pictures, but also the fine editing that has been done on the book. Some books I've read lately are padded with cluttered sentences and even double-spaced with wide side margins to make the book larger than it needs to be (and thus more expensive). This book is good value for the price.
Good stuff Jeff, Mark and Mark!

Who owns the land? Only the land knows. We mortals are passersby, and our lives are but a brief moment in the great span of time and space. We are born, we live out our lives, and most of us do the best we can with it, but the wind is forever, and the rivers flow forever to the sea, and all the seasons of the weathers will come and go after we are gone. But the Earth endures, the Earth is eternal" - Earl Hamner

Funny Things You Do on Facebook
Facebook, as we all know, is such a massive trend today. Almost everyone is registered with this social networking website.
Once just a noun, Facebook has become a verb these day – with many of us saying "I'm Facebooking".
After being on Facebook for more than 2 years, I've noticed certain things which are amusing when it comes to interacting with people. Here are some things that you do on Facebook, which can also be considered as amusing or weird.
1) What's on your mind?
Seeing this question once you log into Facebook doesn't necessarily mean you should share what's on your mind every single second.
Seriously, that can be annoying!
2) Restaurant City, Farmville and games that takes up your time.
Many Facebook users are addicted to games. You may be proud of your level and amount of coins in the game, but it doesn't make your real life better.
Start a real restaurant or a real farm once you've acknowledged important information about the business. Only if it's applicable lah.
3) +1 Add as Friend.
You have friends in real life, and you want them to be your friends on Facebook too. When a friend doesn't Facebook, you demand them to start one so that you can be friends on Facebook.
What's the significance of needing real friends to be a "Friend" on Facebook? Does it make the friendship even better?
Maybe for some, I guess.
4) +1 Add as I-Don't-Know-You-But-Wanna-Add-You-For-Fun Friend.
This is pretty normal. But why do you add a stranger, who you don't even know, onto your Facebook?
At the time I'm writing this, I have 55 friend requests pending. Mostly strangers, and bloggers as well.
Oh yeah, when a guy's friend request has been approve by a stranger lady, they'll usually type some funny message.
ThANkS fOR rEAdING kEnWoOI.cOM! HaVE A nICe dAy! TAke cARe!!!
5) Pretty girls alert.
One thing some guys (not me okay) do on Facebook is to check out hot, pretty, sexy and whatever-you-name-it chicks.
Oh wait, in fact I do love checking out this particular chick.
Yes, Chicken Little! Not!
Anyway, let's continue. While some guys stayed at "checking out" level, some take it to the next level – by adding those chicks as friends and send some kinky message as well.
These guys are either Mr. Brave Macho or just plain desperate. You judge it.
Oh wait, I get such messages as well. Here's one of them.
Woots! Scarlett Johansson!
6) Please vote for me! "Like" the contest page and "Like" my photos!
I know you really wanna win this virtual model contest on Facebook and you need as many votes as possible to achieve that.
But wouldn't that be a little too annoying when you keep sharing your photo link, mentioning friends' name so that they'll notice and sending them private messages?
7) Like!
Instead of giving comments, you simply "Like" the things shared on Facebook. You see a status, you like it. You see a video and you like it, you like it. You see a nice photo and you like it, you like it as well.
Same goes to pages on Facebook. I realize many users are liking pages that doesn't match them.
Liking "I'm too sexy" page doesn't mean you'll be sexier. If you do, perhaps you're in total denial.
Another funny thing about this "Like" feature is that when you ask questions on your status. You get "Like"s instead of answers.
What you do mean by liking my question? So am I handsome or not? I'll never know. =/
8) Go to Application.
Applications can be fun, but can be pathetic as well. That includes various unnecessary apps and the perfect example is quizzes.
Don't be deceived when you try a "How Hot are you?" quiz and the result is "Damn Hot!". Don't be a fool, just look at the mirror – or on your webcam.
I used to noticed many pathetic quizzes on Facebook back then, but it has toned down. Or was it because I've blocked almost every quizzes that appeared on my wall? Maybe.
9) Log in Facebook get money!
There has been rumours lately that you get paid by logging into Facebook. I'm definitely sure that it's a total fraud.
If it's true I would have been richer day by day because I log in to my Facebook almost everyday!
10) Tag this Photo.
One of the features that amazes me when I first started Facebook is definitely the photo tagging feature. It's cool because you can tag and inform your friends about a particular photo.
But somehow it has been misused. Some users start to upload unrelated photos and tag everyone just because you want them to see the photo. Some even use that to sell products.
And some other weird photos like…
What the… MONKEY!? Got 3 "Like"s somemore???
That's not funny!

Federal officials have accused a Dutch man of hacking into a New Hampshire-based game company, tampering with sensitive user data, and using the stolen source code to start a competing online game.
Anil Kheda, 24, of the Netherlands, began his hacking spree in November 2007 after one of his accounts was deleted from Outwar (an online role-playing game with 75,000 active players), according to documents filed in US District Court in New Hampshire. Prosecutors allege that two months later, he started a competing game called Outcraft using source code obtained from the hacked servers. The game earned Kheda at least $10,000 in profits. Over the next nine months, he allegedly continued the hacks and agreed to stop only if the hacked company—Portsmouth, New Hampshire-based Rampid Interactive—paid him money and provided other benefits.
According to prosecutors, Kheda claimed to have found vulnerabilities in Rampid's network and the Outwar source code that allowed him to gain administrator access to the underlying functions of the game. His ability to repeatedly delete a user database seemed to indicate his claims were at least partially true. The tampering caused Outwar to go down for a total of about two weeks over the nine-month stretch, causing Rampid to incur more than $100,000 in lost revenue, wages, and other costs, according to prosecutors.
"You guys have the following three options," Kheda wrote in a December 2007 e-mail included in the federal indictment. "1. Let me play again on my master account (with everything that was on it), and I will report everything when I come across a vulnerability. 2. Pay me $1500 and you will never hear from me again. 3. Don't reply to this e-mail and you are gonna wish you picked one of the other options."
Online records indicate Kheda is the registrant of the outcraft.com domain name. He didn't respond to an e-mail Ars sent to the Gmail account listed in the Whois record.
During another exchange with Rampid employees, Kheda allegedly demanded he be given the name and address of a fellow hacker called Pimpster, who is listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the indictment. Kheda ultimately demanded he be given contact details for the UK juvenile after he backed out of the alleged conspiracy to hack Rampid's network, according to prosecutors.
"Pimpster may have pussed out after [an employee at Rampid] called his mom, I'll never talk to that noob snitch again," Kheda wrote, according to the indictment. "However I am still around, you guys probably thought that pimpster has been doing this all by himself, think again noobs."
If convicted on one count of conspiring to commit computer intrusion and one count of making extortionate interstate threats, Kheda faces a maximum of seven years in prison.

Wal-Marts exclusive DC Universe Classics Series 10 assortment sure packs a punch in terms of high-demand characters. Following PART 1 of our exclusive in-depth review, we bring you a look at the remaing three characters: Beast Boy, Power Girl, and Robotman.
SCULPT: The Four Horsemen have done a fantastic job with their version of Power Girl as evident in the exceptional sculpt work her figure portrays. The face sculpt on Kara Zor-L is exceptional and the additional tooling on the body like the short cape, boots and bust area very well fabricated.
Robotman is a great example of how unique and different a figure can look by adding a new head sculpt, metallic paint and minor tooling details to an average heroic buck body. The removable scull cap with exposed brain is a very cool added bonus as well. With Beast Boy, the Horsemen used the same teenage buck mold used for Robin and Kid Flash and added a new head sculpt, boots and sculpted hair on the arms to create this cool animalistic shape shifter.
PAINT: Power Girl has no evident imperfections or flaking on any part of the body. The head is painted almost flawlessly and exceeded my expectations by a landslide. It is very disappointing when you buy a female action figure and the toy is ruined by a sloppy facial paint job but PG passed that test with flying colors! Robotman has a sleek/clean uniform paint job and best of all no color hue differences on any of the individual body parts. Beastboy features several different colors and is painted exceptionally well also.
ARTICULATION: All three of these figures offer a wide range of posing options as is customary with the DC Universe Classics line. In the past, the female figures have always featured less articulated joints to compliment the sculpt but not this time. Even Power Girl has the same exact range of motion as the male DCUC figures which is great and best of all, it does not take away from the curvy feminine sculpt.
ACCESSORIES: Beastboy is the only figure out of the three which includes a packed-in accessory of him in the form of an eagle. This was a very clever move by Mattel which re-used the same mold that was used in the Wonder Twins gift set as well as the upcoming Teela figure which will also include a pack in bird Zoar. Although Robotmans skull cap can be removed, I do not consider that piece an accessory because it is part of the characters body. In regards to Power Girl, she does not include anything else except the Collect and Connect piece.
OVERALL: Whether you are a hardcore DC fan or just a rabid Four Horsemen groupie, this collection has something for everyone. The Power Girl, Robotman and Beastboy figures round off this assortment very nicely and make this particular assortment of DC Universe Classics a must-have for collectors of all ages.

There's a lot of talk in the industry about advisor succession, but not as much action.
So what's impeding advisor M&A?
Supply-side constraints: Advisors are reluctant sellers, says Roger Verboon, Securities America's director of practice continuity, succession and acquisition planning.
"Everybody wants to acquire a business, but there's absolutely resistance to selling their business," Verboon told ThinkAdvisor in a phone interview.
"It's an easy job. It's not intensive like digging ditches. There's a nice recurring revenue stream and a lot of these guys have created great relationships with their clients. For advisors to think about retiring — it's a very emotional thing. We help them get over the emotional hurdle," he says.
And critically, Securities America helps buyers get over the financial hurdle of acquiring another practice.
The Nebraska-based broker-dealer, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services, announced Tuesday a partnership with an Omaha-based bank that should expand its capacity to finance acquisitions of advisor practices to about double the number of deals the firm shepherded to completion last year.
Formalizing that financial capacity comes at a time of advisor M&A momentum. In 2012, Securities America helped 10 advisors buy the businesses of retiring advisors, a figure that rose to 14 last year. It's only the first half of February, and Verboon already has five deals in the works.
Verboon says practice acquisitions are just one path for advisors to expand their business—marketing and referrals are others—but the oft-discussed aging of advisors puts wind behind the sails of that trend.
While stories of acquisitions gone awry are not unheard of in the industry, Verboon recalls just one botched practice acquisition out of 76 the firm has assisted with in the past five years.
But the story is instructive:
"The successor advisor just didn't get out there and connect with clients quickly enough, so the clients called the retired advisor back in Florida and said 'Hey, come back to me.'"
Needless to say, the developments were highly disconcerting to the retired advisor, who didn't want to see his clients poorly looked after.
Financially, he was protected, Verboon says.
"The deal was part earn-out. It was structured in such a way so that there was a pretty large down payment and fixed promissory note, so there was no fluctuation.
"But he wasn't expecting to have to do the extra work to help continue to guide his clients."
As for the successor advisor, he lost half of the assets of the practice he acquired as a result of his failure to call the clients.
Verboon takes pains, to the extent he is able, to ensure that the deals he works on succeed by negotiating between the parties and structuring a viable acquisition.
"What we really look to see is that there's a good cultural fit between the successor and the retiring advisor. That fit I claim to be the most important piece in making it a success," he says.
"The second piece is the hard work," he continues. "I tell people to block at least three months out of their life—'Don't take this lightly,'" he tells would-be acquirers.
The results have been impressive. Verboon says seven out of 10 acquisitions have been profitable within 24 months and another two out of 10 shortly thereafter.
"We're very careful that advisors remain at least cash-flow neutral unless they have enough of a book themselves that they don't need the revenues from the purchased firm," the Securities America exec says.
But while the firm wants to ease the financial burden, it nevertheless wants the acquiring advisor to put some of his own money into the purchase just as it wants the retiring advisor incented to foster client retention.
"We want everyone to have skin in the game," Verboon says.
So in the case of an average selling price of $500,000, and an average down payment of 30%, or $150,000 — down payments range from 10% to 50%, Verboon says — the firm would typically see to a loan of about $110,000, thus requiring $40,000 on the buying advisor's part. That said, just six advisors on average seek financing assistance, annually.
But because the firm puts so much emphasis on the cultural fit — to avoid potential disaster — Verboon says a higher level of financing is possible in extremis.
"We had an advisor we thought would be a very, very good fit with a retiring advisor. He did not necessarily have the dollars to have skin in the game himself, yet the cultural fit was great. We said the deal was worth looking at more in depth."
In the end, Securities America put up a much larger loan to help the advisor swing the deal.
The firm provides advisors with a practice listing site through its parent firm, which encompasses all retring advisors from Ladenberg Thalmann's broker-dealer network.
But the firm also assists its advisors making acqusitions affiliated with outside firms such as LPL, Commonwealth or Cambridge.
"The asset transfer rate is never as great as in house. In house you just pull a switch and the assets are moved over," Verboon says, boasting a 98% in-house client retention and asset transfer rate, though a still high 85% retention rate with external acquisitions.

The Plugstreet Archaeological Project
Exploring, through forensic archaeology, the human story of the Battle of Messines
The Plugstreet Project is a non profit project lead by No Man's Land Archaeology Group, a multinational team of volunteers specialising in the study of the First World War though archaeological excavations, historical research, map work and aerial photography. Working with academic departments, local and international partners, cutting edge techniques are being employed to gain a greater understanding of life in the trenches and the effect of the war on the local population.
The Great War of 1914-1918 took place barely a century ago, at the start of the Plugstreet Project, men who had taken part in these battles were still alive and the memories of numerous others live on in their letters, memoirs and in some cases oral history recordings. Across the world archives hold thousands upon thousands of documents, maps and photographs. What could we possibly learn from excavating the landscape upon which such well documented events took place? The Plugstreet Project is the first attempt in any period of archaeology to follow a military unit from formation through training, to a baptism of fire, in an attempt to establish whether their training had indeed been successful. In addition it aims to examine the ongoing effect of the conflict, over a lifetime ago, on the residents of the area and also the families of over half a million men who fought in these fields. By combining the findings on site with documentary evidence, academic and scientific investigation, the team set out to discover the story of the Battle of Messines, one of the least know but perhaps one of the most decisive battles of the Great War.
This website tells that story and provides an opportunity for the families of those who lived and died in these fields, to share their own little slice of history, so helping to build the true picture of this landscape and the lives it has touched.

The space between DMB markets Hollywood
"Please get rid of DMBeat," goes the impassioned cry. We hear it; we're just not buying it. As far as we can tell, detractors of this occasional column hail from one of two camps: those who claim close friendship with The Dave, and those who claim they don't read it.
Well, we say this: thou protesteth too much. You've already read this far, so wash our ink off your hand, and count on us keep your dirty little secret. —ed.
If you have tired of hearing Dave croon "The Space Between" over the ubiquitous commercials for Black Hawk Down, you're not alone. Relax, the film's a huge hit. It's sure to top $100 million at the box office.
That success has already lessened the ad blitz and put some "space" between the movie and the song. And while this particular marketing blitz may have ended, the practice of hit-song-meets-potential blockbuster is no coincidence.
Black Hawk Down is the first post-September 11 war film to be released, and "The Space Between" is the track from Everyday nominated for a Grammy this year. Get the picture? True Hollywood cross-pollination.
While the song has no imaginable connection with the film, it is the first of the band's songs associated with a movie that doesn't appear in the film— or even the soundtrack album.
DMB management and the band's label, RCA/BMG, must have been delighted to lend the song to the commercial. After all, putting DMB songs in films hasn't exactly worked wonders. No fewer than five films have licensed DMB material for soundtrack or background music. While the chosen songs have been among the band's most recognizable, they couldn't save this string of forgettables:
White Man's Burden (1995)— "Tripping Billies"
Excess Baggage (1997)— "Crash Into Me"
Freeriders (1998)— "Stay"
Fifty (1999)— "Crush"
Joe Dirt (2001)— "Crash Into Me"
This record of abysmal soundtrack sales may change, however, as Matthews has collaborated with the legendary Johnny Cash on a song to be included on the soundtrack for the upcoming Mel Gibson film We Were Soldiers. Entitled "For You," the song is described by Cash's manager as "dark alternative country" in the vein of material from Cash's latest recording, American III: Solitary Man.
Longtime fan Matthews met the Man in Black during an all-star tribute to the elder singer in 1999 and has performed a version of "Long Black Veil," long associated with Cash, in concert.
Films: where the green cash grows?
Music isn't Dave's only contribution to the world of cinema. It's no secret that Dave is also an actor— an avocation that preceded the formation of the band— and many locals recall with both fondness and critical praise his performances with Offstage and Live Arts.
But aside from music videos, Dave has barely dabbled in film since the band's rise to fame. Regrettably, the one film Matthews actually starred in, an adaptation of the beloved children's book Where The Red Fern Grows (and a remake of the 1974 film of the same name) came to a halt when the production company ran out of money in 1999. Since then, would-be matinee idol Matthews most recently considered, then declined, a role in 24 Hours, a thriller starring Kevin Bacon, Courtney Love, and Charlize Theron set for release later this year.
Now comes word that the power of Dave has created a film distribution company. Dubbed According To Our Pictures (ATO Pictures), the new company was recently formed by the founders of Dave's ATO Records, along with veteran filmmakers Jonathan Dorfman and Temple Fennell. Fennell is the Charlottesvillian well known for playing a role in the creation of Boxer Learning, an interactive educational firm, and BoxerJam, the downsized-but-still-kicking online games-maker he started with Jeopardy! creator Julann Griffin.
Fennell says he spends his evenings reading scripts before passing the best ones along to Dave. ATO's first deal is distributing Amandla!, a film about the role of music in overturning apartheid in South Africa.
Amandla! won both the Documentary Audience Award and the Freedom of Expression Award at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. Roger Ebert has called Amandla! both "sorrowful and joyous" and predicts that the music "will inspire a CD to rival Buena Vista Social Club."
So guess who bought rights to the soundtrack? You guessed it: ATO Records. Dave and his buddies aren't dumb.
It was ATO Records that helped Welsh-English unknown David Gray rise to superstardom back in 2000. Can the touch of Dave have the same effect on indie films?
"Having David's name attached," acknowledges Fennell, "brings additional recognition."
Fans wishing to see Dave on the big screen will likely have a long wait, as the band has been busy recording its next album, reportedly self-producing and mixing reworked material from the "Lillywhite Sessions" and a crop of new songs Matthews wrote while on tour last year.
"We'll probably go back to some of those [sessions]," Matthews told an interviewer in December, "but seeing as a lot of that is out [on the Internet], we don't want to be too repetitious."
Nevertheless, DMB reportedly hasn't ruled out releasing another single from Everyday— perhaps "When The World Ends," the single selected for release before September 11 and exchanged for the title track.
Assuming "The Space Between" earns the band its second Grammy later this month, an honor that traditionally refuels aging album sales, fans are likely to hear many of the album's hits when DMB hits the road again in April. (This year's tour is a 33-date jaunt through North America kicking off in Washington, D.C., on April 4.)
Mourning Trax
There was a hiatus in DMBeat during the move from C-ville to The Hook, but the sale of the legendary Trax/Max nightclub to the UVA medical center (which will demolish the property for its own expansion) can't be overlooked. The news stunned both patrons of the padlocked club and those lucky enough to have witnessed the early DMB hone their concert act on its stage.
Before its July 2001 closure, Trax was not only Virginia's longest-running music venue, but also a DMB landmark: the Mecca for Daveheads who make the pilgrimage to their hero's hometown. Along with Richmond's Flood Zone, another defunct DMB landmark, Trax now joins the dustbin of Central Virginia music history. It will be missed.
Chicago tops 2001 live list
DMB's Live in Chicago 12-19-98, the band's fourth live release, became the highest charting live recording of 2001, making its debut at No. 6 late last year on the Billboard charts. Live albums were among the country's bestsellers of 2001.Read more on: dave matthews band

Spurs too much for 76ers, 109-86
Tony Parker had 20 points, Manu Ginobili scored 19 and the San Antonio Spurs routed the Philadelphia 76ers 109-86 on Saturday night.
Tim Duncan added 16 points, Danny Green had 13 and Gary Neal finished with 12 for San Antonio, which has won 10 straight at home. Tiago Splitter had 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Spencer Hawes scored 22 points for Philadelphia, which has lost three straight and five of six. Evan Turner added 12 points and Thaddeus Young, Jason Richardson and Jrue Holiday each added 11.
San Antonio improved to 14-2 at home while rebounding from a blowout loss Thursday against the New York Knicks.
Philadelphia shot 42 percent from the field, including a 3-for-17 night from long range. The Spurs had 24 assists while shooting 48 percent.
Parker was 8 for 16 from the field in 29 minutes, the most of any San Antonio player in an easy victory.
Philadelphia's only lead came via Young's hook shot on the game's opening possession. Splitter tied the game with a layup on the ensuing possession and Duncan's 15-foot jumper gave the Spurs a 4-2 lead they would never relinquish.
Ginobili made his first three attempts, following a pair of 3s with a crossover dribble, drive and one-handed dunk for a 29-16 lead with 3 minutes left in the first.
NOTES: San Antonio's Stephen Jackson (sprained right ankle) missed his 16th game of the season. He injured his ankle against New York, tripping over a waitress working the courtside seats. ... Nando De Colo was recalled from San Antonio's Austin affiliate in the NBA Development League prior to the Saturday's game. ... Former Spurs F Malik Rose is now serving as an analyst for the 76ers' television broadcasts. Rose subbed as an analyst for former teammate Sean Elliott on several San Antonio broadcasts last season prior to joining Philadelphia's crew. Rose is a native of Philadelphia.

LONDON, July 20 (UPI) -- The Sun newspaper set off a media frenzy when it dispatched a pair of royal lookalikes to the London hospital where an heir to the British throne is to be born.
The newspaper recruited lookalikes for Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and his duchess, the former Kate Middleton. They arrived at St. Mary's Hospital in a Range Rover at about 5 p.m. Friday.
Dickie Arbiter, a former press secretary to Queen Elizabeth II, William's grandmother, actually sent a tweet -- "Kate's in through the front door." He quickly realized his mistake and sent a follow-up, "False alarm Sun stunt."
Tom Moore and Nicola Maher later posed outside the hospital revealing matching T-shirts under their now unbuttoned jackets: "The Sun No. 1 For Royal Baby News."
The baby, when it arrives, will be third in line for the throne after Prince Charles and Prince William. The child will keep that status because the rules of succession have been changed to become gender-neutral.
The royal couple have never released a specific due date beyond mid-July.

He's obviously a professional singer, but The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers still thought it was a good idea to take voice lessons before hitting the studio to record the band's new album.
"It seemed like the right thing to do," he said in a recent interview. "I wanted to be better, get better and it's just helped me. ... (My voice teacher) knows what my ambitions are and he knows there's a certain style and something I've already got going on. We're just trying to fine-tune a few things."
The 31-year-old added that he's "not trying to be an opera singer or anything."
U.S. & World
Dressed in a leather motorcycle jacket, with close-cropped hair, the rock singer embodies the stage presence of an old-time crooner along the lines of Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett. And while Flowers lists both icons as major influences, glam rocker David Bowie sits at the top of the heap.
"In the beginning I was obsessed with Ziggy Stardust and Hunky Dory and you've got some weird interpretations of that from some dude in Las Vegas," Flowers said. "That's not there anymore. I don't feel like that anymore. I still love that music, but it just changes as you get older I guess."
He showed off his voice when honoring the late Andy Williams with a version of "Moon River" on Wednesday night, and it's heard all over "Battle Born," the band's fourth album that debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart last week.
But Flowers insists his maturity as a vocalist hasn't affected the core sound of the band, known for the hits "Mr. Brightside" and "When You Were Young."
"We try to take a little bit of Las Vegas with us everywhere we go," he said of the group, which kicks off a world tour Oct. 26 in Glasgow, Scotland.
Five producers — Stuart Price, Steve Lillywhite, Daniel Lanois, Damian Taylor and Brendan O'Brien — were credited with taming the sounds of the record.
"We didn't seek out that many people. It was more of a logistical thing," said drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr. "We waited till the last minute to ask some people to work with us and just had to grab whoever was available in the time that they had available."
The album's first single, "Runaways," has only peaked at No. 78 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, which is dominated with dance and electronic-flavored songs.
"We've always walked the line, you know? But we're not shy about wanting to have big songs," Flowers said. "Now it's strange, it's tough to be a rock band right now. It is. The rock stations are dying."
"I really shouldn't have anything to complain about because we got our foot in the door at the last second," he added. "I feel sorry for young guys now that love rock 'n roll and are struggling to find a home."

Jones' 2 homers power Orioles past Angels
Adam Jones' pair of 2-run homers lead Orioles over Angels
Orioles Double Up Angels
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Adam Jones hit a pair of two-run homers, including a tiebreaking shot in the sixth inning, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-2 Monday night.
Bud Norris (8-6) won for the fifth time in his last six starts, allowing two runs — one earned — and eight hits over 6 2-3 innings with eight strikeouts and two walks. The Orioles increased their AL East lead to four games over the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays.
Norris was recalled from Double-A Bowie, where he was optioned on July 10 in order to keep him on his regular routine during the All-Star break. The Orioles did the same thing with Tuesday's scheduled starter, Miguel Gonzalez, who was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on July 11.
Zach Britton pitched a perfect ninth for his 17th save.
Rookie right-hander Matt Shoemaker (7-3) gave up four runs and five hits in 5 2-3 innings, striking out 10 and walking none. The loss put the Angels two games behind first-place Oakland in the AL West.
Jones, who didn't make it past the second round in last week's All-Star Home Run Derby, opened the scoring in the first with a drive into the left-field bullpen after a single by Nick Markakis. Shoemaker retired his next 15 batters — striking out eight — before Markakis doubled with one out in the sixth. One out later, Jones hit his 19th homer to left-center for a 4-2 lead. It was his fifth two-homer game in the majors.
Josh Hamilton drove in the Angels' first run in the first with a two-out RBI single that scored Kole Calhoun, who led off with a single and got to second when shortstop J.J. Hardy threw the ball past second baseman Jonathan Schoop on a fielder's choice grounder by Mike Trout.
The Angels tied it in the fourth when Howie Kendrick led off with a ground-rule double and scored on Hank Conger's sharp single to right. The Orioles might have had a shot at Kendrick at the plate had first baseman Chris Davis not cut off the throw from Markakis.
A two-out infield hit by Calhoun then loaded the bases for Trout, who took a called third strike and immediately got into umpire Eric Cooper's face — but didn't get ejected. Trout was called out on strikes his next time up and had more to say to Cooper before manager Mike Scioscia came out to make sure the All-Star MVP stayed in the game.
Game notes
Albert Pujols flied out on a 3-0 pitch in the fifth. The three-time NL MVP is batting .432 in his career on 3-0 counts (32 for 74) with six homers and 22 RBIs. … Orioles RHP Darren O'Day, who began his big league career with the Angels in 2008, pitched a perfect eighth to lower his ERA to 1.04 — the best among AL relievers. … The Orioles got a scare in the second when Norris took a hard-hit grounder by Conger off his right ankle for a base hit. Britton was smacked on the right forearm by pinch-hitter Erick Aybar's comebacker, but also escaped injury. … The Angels, who came in leading the majors in runs, didn't get a hit after Hamilton's one-out single in the fifth. … The Orioles optioned C Steve Clevenger to Triple-A Norfolk to clear a roster spot for Norris. They will have to make another corresponding move after Gonzalez rejoins the 25-man roster. … Hardy's error was his ninth of the season and 46th by the Orioles, who have the second-fewest in the majors behind Cincinnati's 45. … Shoemaker gave up a first-inning run for the first time in 11 big league starts. … Markakis' double was his 20th, the ninth straight season he has reached that total. His 38 multihit games are tied with Robinson Cano for the second-highest total in the majors behind Jose Altuve's 42.

Kate Moss Celebrates Menswear During London Fashion Week With Jamie Hince
Kate Moss appropriately threw on a suit and button-down shirt today to take in the James Small show with Jamie Hince during London Fashion Week. The engaged twosome rose early to see the presentation, though they've had a couple of their beloved late nights out recently at a Topshop dinner and a bash for her ex Jefferson Hack's AnOther magazine. All the style inspiration on display may prove helpful if Kate goes ahead and designs her own wedding dress, although now there are rumors she may ask her pal John Galliano to design her gown. Kate's morning cameo was the latest big front row appearance during England's shows after Kate Bosworth and Rachel Bilson stepped out for Burberry on Monday — who do you think rocked their Christopher Bailey design better? There's just one more day of fashionable fun in the UK before things move on to Milan, so stay tuned to all our coverage during the 2011 Fall presentations worldwide!
