|Summary: Games for GNOME
GNOME games is a collection of simple, but addictive, games from the GNOME desktop project. They represent many of the popular games and include card games, puzzle games and arcade games. They are meant to be the sort of game that can be played in five minutes or so. They are also meant to be fun enough that you will play them again and again. Of course we can't be held responsible for the time and productivity lost while playing them.

Hello I am facing a big problem and I hope I can be a help in this forum.
I have Windows 8 installed on my laptop Lenovo U410. It is installed on C on a 750GB SATA hard drive and uses a 25GB SSD hard drive as a cache. D is also a hard drive for data on the 750GB drive.
I Wanted to try BackTrack 5 on a USB stick as a live version.
When choosing I clicked on "Persistent Mode" and confirmed with startx ...
I looked around a bit and then wanted to click Shutdown. Eventually, the image was. Completely beige colors and a short click on the button was off the laptop directly from
The next time it was a rude awakening. Initially, everything seemed normal, but when I arrived at the colorful Windows 8 screen is a button pressed, did not follow the login screen. Nothing happens.
When I click F8 I do come to the repair mechanisms, but they are not working. It answers "The disk is locked and I shoul unlock this first.
The funny thing is that I see in the console input all the files. only drive letter was changed from C to an X.
Also in BackTrack I see the partition and click there and I can inspect the files and folders on C + D.
If I correctly interpret the problem, then throws BackTrack the Windows partition is not.
Have you an idea what can I do now? I'm looking for 16 hours at Google and forums for answers, but I find none.

Comments about : Elevated Cedar Raised Bed, 2' x 2':
I purchased 9 of these planters for our 4 story set of porches on the back of a 3 flat in Chicago. We had architectural grids put on the ends of our porches and put planters in every corner near the grids. I lowered the bottom platforms so we could add more dirt (insulation for winter). We planted honeysuckle vines on the sunny side of the building and silver lace vines on the shade side. The cedar has weathered to a nice gray. The planters aren't too traditional or too modern - just perfect for our Victorian brick building. The vines have enough soil that they have overwintered 2 years now. I see no sign of rot on the boxes. Putting together 9 of these planters was a lot of hard work - especially since I moved the platforms down and insulated them with foam. I do wish there were options for better risers/casters and that the venting hole was lower for adapted uses like mine. However, there are no planters that are priced this well, that are this nice and large on the market. These planters are very high quality and I'm confident they will last a long time.

Comments about : Elevated Cedar Raised Bed, 2' x 2':
We used the raised beds we purchased on a stone retaining wall, that we had to build. When we put railings between the boxes it made the perfect fence to assure no one would step off the wall. So, not only do we have an attractive fence but we have our plentiful garden right outside our back door! We love how easy it is to garden in these beds and how attractive our finished product is. We have gotten LOTS of compliments and inquiries.

Comments about : Elevated Cedar Raised Bed, 2' x 2':
Nice looking, it would be better if it were just a little taller and a little deeper.
You will need a power tool to screw in the many screws...otherwise, prepare to scrape your knuckles and apply a lot of pressure.
On the unit I got, one panel did not slide down all the way and therefore the top edge of that side was higher than the other three. I just put that one toward the back.

Comments about : Elevated Cedar Raised Bed, 2' x 2':
We purchased our raised bed planters last year and this is the second year growing food in them. Thought it was about time I did a review. Yes, we get compliments on how good they look, but the main thing for me is, our veggies grow well in them. My wife and I live in a mobile home community that (thankfully) allows veg. gardening in your yard... so long as you try to keep it tidy and attractive. The elevated grow beds are a great help in that respect.
Also, important to us is that the planters are just the right height to allow "stand up/no stoop" gardening. Very easy on the back.
Growing results: Currently, the 2x2 bed (see picture) is planted with one Patty Pan squash and one Crimson Sweet watermelon. In just 14 days the melon grew from the size of a small green olive to 5 inches in diameter. That growth rate, for something growing in a raised bed planter, is amazing to me.
Mulching: Our July/August temperatures reach the 90's and beyond. Therefore I apply a 2 inch layer of mulch to every bed. This slows down evaporation/water loss in the soil. Without mulching I'd have to water a lot more often than I do now, and the plants would probably suffer undue stress.
We applied a good deck stain to protect the outside of the grow beds. On the inside, I used a non-toxic sealer called "Soy Seal Wood Sealer & Waterproofer". You can find it on the internet. I have been quite satisfied with the product.
We also garden in 3 other Gardener's 2x8 raised beds with good results. That will be a separate review.

I needed something to go over my electric box by my pool. This raised bed was perfect, as it has the floor about 12 inches down, and then a few feet of clearance under that. I was able to set the bed over the electric box, and not only protect the electric, but beautify my pool area! So far the cedar is holding up well and my plants are happy.

Best Uses
- Patio Planting
Comments about : Elevated Cedar Raised Bed, 2' x 2':
Got 2 of these 18 months ago. Finally set up after my condo spent more than year redoing patio, and with it needed approval for any planters, and they needed to be movable.
I added casters--would be fantastic if these came with a caster option. I bought 12"x12" wooden planter bases with 4 casters each, 3 of these per planter, cut slices with two casters each and screwed them to the corners and middle of the planter. They roll (and rock).
The patio I have is blazing hot, and things dry out very fast. To keep more mass, I lowered the false bottoms in the planter. This is easy to do. Just remove screws in the steel slats holding the sides together where you want the bottom, and then screw the bottom supports in at that point, and use the removed screws in the holes that were originally intended for the bottom support. Everything is lined up so it works perfectly. I went down to the level just above the vents--about as much as you can do given the vents, but adds another 6 inches of soil depth or so.
It takes a lot of potting soil to fill these. Here's a hint, especially if you have lowered the bottoms. Rip up the cardboard box the planters came in, or other cardboard or newspapers you have around the house, and put them in the bottom, then fill with soil. Cardboard will compost over time, and probably settle a bit, and eventually you may need to add more soil, but it fills the space a bit, and better than adding to the landfill.
My condo assoc. was also freaked out about soil getting on the patio and clogging drainage. I got a roll of 36 inch wide landscape fabric-water goes through but soil doesn't, and stapled it across the bottom and up the sides.
Especially with the extra space, and needing to move these I worried about the weight. So I got bags of the usual potting soil, but went on-line and found large bags of vermicullite--I added 2 bags, 4 cubic ft each, to the potting soil. Found them for about $28 per bag.
I worried a bit about the fact that at 8 feet long, the 1 inch side boards might bulge out over time with weight of the soil. I screwed in some eyehooks in the middle of the top board on both sides and used plastic coated wire to tie them together to compensate for the force of the soil--do this ideally before you fill with soil.
I also mixed in a lot of the soil moist water granules that hold water, and organic fertilizer.
I'm ready to plant after 18 months of these sticking out from under my bed.
I'd like these to remain the bright cedar color. I saw the natural wood protector product in the catalog and was about to order it, but I read reviews and all talked about it immediately turning the wood a soft grey. That would be okay I guess, but I would really like a product that kept them with the new-wood look. Guess I will check out some of the oil finish products for wood patio furniture.
Now how many seasons of tomatoes will it take to "pay for" the cost of the planters, soil, ....I will have to be reimbursed with the pleasure of gardening, and these are a great way to do it if like me you are in a condo with only a small patio space.

PHILADELPHIA -- Aramark's new CampusDish mobile application helps college students make informed meal selections by using their smartphones.
The app is available for free download from the iPhone, iPad and Android stores. Students can use it to search for meals meeting specific nutritional criteria. If a student is looking for a meal with less than 500 calories or less than 10g. fat, for instance, he or she can input the information into the app and quickly view which menu items are being served and where they are available.
In addition to posting the nutrition content for the menu items being offered, the new app allows students to submit feedback about the dining program, offer suggestions and ask questions. They can also share information with friends with single clicks.
Aramark's most recent survey of 120,000 students at the more than 600 colleges and universities it serves in North America found that 75% of them consider themselves healthy. Nearly two-thirds review nutrition labels to help select their meals, and more than 50% prefer to go online to locate nutritional information.

you can use 'nvidia-settings' to change your resolution, or you can specify the resolution within xorg.conf
This is the problem.
From USB worked perfectly, but after I installed it I have a very low resolution.
I have no idea why, especially since it works from USB.
I have a nvidia card, not sure what model exactly.
Any help?
I deleted bt4, and backtrack5 is unusable right now.
Anyone knows how to get a normal screen?
Ctrl+alt+keypad +/- does work, giving me an even smaller resolution (600 I think).
What can I do?
you can use 'nvidia-settings' to change your resolution, or you can specify the resolution within xorg.conf
'see the fnords!'
press CTRL+ALT+F1, to switch session
Xorg -configure
this will generate an xorg.conf file (with the current drivers) on the root folder
Edit xorg.conf file:
if you are having problems with Refresh rate(having an old CRT screen) add into Section "Monitor" this line "VertRefresh 70"(with out quotes and the refresh rate your monitor will support )
To change resolution goto Section "Screen" SubSection "Display" with the default section you chose and put "800x600" first
After you finishediting xorg.conf copy it to /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and use the command startx and you will have your resolution fixed
PHP Code:

David Redon makes vintage popular culture look new by adding celebrities. The art director at Parisian agency Quai Des Orfèvres combines famous people like Kanye, Beyonce, and Pharrell with Mid-Century advertisements in a series he calls Ads Libitum. We see them endorsing soap, make up, toothpaste, and drive-in restaurants, all having been Photoshopped to fit in with the look and feel of the past.
Redon explains to Adweek why he crafts these remixes, stating, "I like the shift between vintage and modern pop culture, because these days the border between art and commercial is very small, and artists work their images like brands do." It's true. Kanye definitely cultivates a specific persona that is polarizing and it's part of how he sells himself. Pharrell, on the hand, markets himself as a happy-go-lucky likable guy, which makes him more family-friendly with wider appeal.
Ads Libitum is primarily American marketing and culture through the eyes of a non-American. Redon makes some interesting choices on celebrity and advertising pairings. Nirvana, for instance, seems a little outdated, as does Michael Jackson, but to someone who's an outsider, these people are an icon of music in the United States. (Via Adweek)

Jones School Leadership
November 5, 2008—The Aspen Institute's Center for Business Education (Aspen CBE) today announced Scott Sonenshein , assistant professor of organizational behavior at Rice University's Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Management, as a finalist of the 2008 Faculty Pioneer Awards. This annual recognition celebrates MBA faculty who have demonstrated leadership and risk-taking in integrating social and environmental issues into academic research, educational programs, and business practice. "I am honored to receive this recognition from the Aspen Institute that inspires faculty across the nation to use their work to address pressing social issues," said Professor Sonenshein, who teaches management and change courses. "The academic business community has an important role in providing research insights and teaching tools that prepare and guide current and future business leaders to engage with social issues," he said. Professor Sonenshein's core research, which has been published in the field's top research journals, focuses on how individuals make a difference in the process of change, especially social change. His research examines how employees have agency to interpret and advocate for social issues in ways that influence organizations' responses to these issues. Professor Sonenshein's research is helping organizational theorists and practitioners re-vision how employees can craft and frame social issues in ways that make them legitimate and motivate action. He is currently involved in a research project examining how to strengthen change agents working on climate change through examining the way that they construct their identities. He earned a B.A. at the University of Virginia, an M.Phil. at the University of Cambridge, and Ph.D. at the University of Michigan. Each spring, award nominees are solicited through several faculty networks and an international outreach campaign. Nominations are open to all faculty members at any institution offering a graduate management degree in any country. Candidates are nominated by their academic peers and evaluated by both Aspen CBE's senior academic consultants and a panel of senior representatives of corporations.

Review Details
M-444 Sheepskin Jacket
- Product Review (submitted on July 28, 2010):
I received my new flight jacket only 10 days after I placed my order, I choose the M-444.At the moment I unpacked my jacket it was immediately evident this level of craftsmanship can only come from some of the highest skilled professionals in their trade, and the materials used are only the best money can buy. I find it safe to say any aviator that ever donned the M-444 knew he was being issued only the very best.
Guys, they just don't make them like they used to.

Also when it is downloading the settings icon now animates. Pretty fancy!!!
Did anyone else's iPhone brick when trying to update OTA? After bricking, I tried to restore it through iTunes the old fashioned way by selected the iOS 6 Beta 2 file I downloaded and it won't install.
Help! iPhone 4 GSM here...
I can confirm that the OTA update works for me (iPhone 4S) from iOS 6 Beta 1 installed using the iTunes update 'hacktivation' method.
My battery on beta 1 has been dramatically better than it was on iOS 5. We'll see how beta 2 goes.
Yay! The Guided access work now I like this feature.

Inspiration for the line was drawn from generations of family tradition and knowledge of the healing properties of the sea. As a child, Gabriel had observed his grandmother making homeopathic cosmetics from seaweed, kelp and herbs that he had helped her gather at her home by the ocean in Mexico. As a naturopath and herbalist, his grandmother was knowledgeable of the many healing and revitalizing properties of the ocean plant life. As Gabriel grew older and entered the field of beauty, he became even more aware of how young and unlined her skin remained. His grandmother passed on her wisdom of the healing benefits of the sea to Gabriel. He learned how the right combination of sea-derived botanicals not only revitalize the skin and keep it looking younger, but also reduce stress and help balance and remineralize the body in a natural and pleasant manner. This knowledge spurred his research further leading Gabriel to a European Bio-Chemist with 30 years experience in developing botanical formulations. The Gabriel skincare line has been under extensive development since1991. All formulations have been stringently tested on a panel of over 150 people comprised of all skin types, male and female, all ages, nationalities, and professions. The results of this testing were spectacular, as no contraindicative or adverse skin reactions were observed on any of the subjects. On the contrary, noticeable improvements were noted after only a few days use. What makes Gabriel Cosmetics different from other seemingly similar products on the market? Simply this- Gabriel products are made from 100% natural ingredients. No synthetic chemicals or animal by-products are utilized and no testing is ever done on animals. These environmentally safe products contain a higher percentage of active ingredients than any other similar products. Discover for yourself how Gabriel Cosmetics is the finest and most harmonious union of nature and scientific discovery.

HARRISBURG, PA -- Pennsylvania State Sen. Wayne D. Fontana (D-Brookline) is backing a House measure that would ban sweepstakes videogames as a form of illegal gambling under Pennsylvania state law.
Bill No. 1893 passed the House unanimously last October and is now before the Senate's Community, Economic and Recreational Development Committee, which Fontana chairs.
Fontana wrote that sweepstakes videogames are currently legal in Pennsylvania through "a loophole that allows them to fall outside of the state gaming law" in an opinion piece published by the Dormont-Brookline Patch.
The senator endorsed the measure as a way to strengthen the state's legal casino industry, and to increase tax revenues generated by casinos.

Opening minds, hearts
Vajra Watson
Position: Director of Research and Policy for Equity
Unit: School of Education
Why is UC Davis the one for you? Diversity and opportunity. "UC Davis is a beacon of opportunity for the children, families, and communities throughout the Sacramento Capital Region and state. One of my best experiences is bringing 1,000 low-income, low-achieving middle and high school students to UC Davis for the annual SAYS Summit (says.ucdavis.edu). For most of these youth, it is their first experience visiting a university. As they engage in a university context, they begin to see college as part of their future and UC Davis as the 'cool school' they want to attend."
What do you hope to be your legacy here at UC Davis – what marks have you made or changes that you hope will continue? "I am a critical scholar that seeks to close the gap between research and practice, and to actually heed the call to leave no child behind. My research focuses on the interplay between stratification and agency, with an emphasis on breaking the cycle of social reproduction by examining tools for social resistance. My legacy is to develop applied research models in students, teachers and the community."
Tell us about one person at UC Davis who has enhanced your life or your work? "There is a proverb in Ethiopia which states, 'In unity, a million threads can trap a lion.' There is not one single person that has enhanced my work per se. Rather, it is the collective action, collegial support across campus, and interdisciplinary focus on social justice that has shaped my scholarship and propelled me in both work and life."

I've recently started dealifting with a trapbar and find it a lot better/stronger form wise, however a lot of guys can't see past their Olympic bar and say the trapbar's not as good. (although their arguement seems to be that they don't want to change rather than bomechanical reasons).
Feels great to me. Anybody any experience of/theories about this?

Indians split doubleheader with Padres, fall in Game 2
CLEVELAND -- Robbie Erlin allowed one run in six innings and Chase Headley's single in the sixth drove in the go-ahead run, leading the San Diego Padres to a 2-1 win over the Cleveland Indians and a split of Wednesday's doubleheader.
Cleveland's pitching dominated a 2-0 victory in the first game. Zach McAllister pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings and Jason Kipnis hit a two-run homer in the sixth.
Erlin (1-0) held the Indians to four hits, struck out six and didn't walk a batter. Three relievers blanked the Indians, including Huston Street, who pitched the ninth for his third save.
San Diego scored in the first, thanks in part to a call on the field that was ruled a no-catch by first base umpire Bob Davidson, even though Indians right fielder Elliot Johnson appeared to have made the play on a ball hit by Chris Denorfia. Indians manager Terry Francona used his challenge to have the play reviewed, but replay officials in New York upheld the call on the field.
Trevor Bauer (0-1), added to the roster to start the game, allowed two runs and struck out a career-high eight in six innings.
Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera fielded Everth Cabrera's ground ball to start the game, but his throw to first went into San Diego's dugout for a two-base error.
Johnson made a long run for Denorfia's fly ball and crashed into the fence in front of San Diego's bullpen. Johnson had the ball in his glove momentarily, but dropped it as he transferred it to make a throw. Davidson ruled Johnson didn't have control of the ball long enough and Francona immediately came out to talk with the umpire.
After a brief discussion, Francona challenged the call. After a delay of two minutes, the call was upheld. Cabrera went to third and the play was scored a double. Seth Smith's groundout scored Cabrera as the crowd's boos grew louder.
Erlin was making his first start of the season. The left-hander pitched two-thirds of an inning and didn't allow a run on April 2 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Mike Aviles tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the third.
In the sixth, Everth Cabrera led off with a single and, with one out, Bauer hit Smith with a pitch and walked Yonder Alonso. Headley lined a single into left field to give San Diego the lead.
Street retired Carlos Santana to start the ninth, but Ryan Raburn lined a single off the glove of shortstop Everth Cabrera. After pinch-runner Nyjer Morgan stole second, Michael Brantley walked on a 3-2 pitch. Yan Gomes flied out and Asdrubal Cabrera lined to right.
In the first game, McAllister (1-0) allowed five hits and struck out seven without a walk. He retired the first two batters in the eighth, but was pulled after allowing two singles. Cody Allen recorded the third out.
John Axford survived a shaky ninth for his fourth save, getting two outs with runners on second and third.
Eric Stults (0-2) took a shutout into the sixth, but third baseman Alexi Amarista's throwing error was followed by Kipnis' first home run of the season.

Chely Wright is pregnant with twins!
Listen to Chely Wright on iHeartRadio
(WENN) - Country singer Chely Wright is pregnant with identical twins.
The singer and her wife, Lauren Blitzer, are set to become first-time parents when Wright gives birth in July.
The gay rights activist announced the news on Howard Bragman's YouTube show Gwissues on Wednesday after showing off her small baby bump.
She said, "We're excited to be parents and we hope we don't mess it up too badly! We're anticipating I'll be as big as a... bus or an A-frame house by around June."
And the couple can't wait for motherhood.
Wright, who admitted she's suffering from morning sickness, added, "We feel like God blessed us with twins. We feel our entire relationship has been blessed. We feel lucky and ready to take on the challenges."
The pair married in 2011.

Hi guys gals just a quick question what in your opinion is the key to a better over all game?.
Emphasizes on rolling starting from the guard and 1 technique per lesson
Active drilling i.e you will learn a sequence of techniques and drill until second nature, with rolling coming second to the drilling.
An equal amount of both rolling and drilling? per lesson?

The award-winning film Prince Among Slaves will be shown Tuesday Feb 26, 2013 at 7:00 PM in Belk Library room 114.
The event is presented by ASU Library in conjunction with the ASU Humanities Council with grant funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities. This is the first in a series of programs that compose the 2013 Muslim Journeys Program. It is also shown in celebration of Black History Month. The film will be introduced by ASU Instructor, Ray Christian, who will also lead discussion following the film.
Date: Tuesday, February 26, 2013
Time: 7:00pm
Location: Belk Library, room 114
Admission: Free, open to the public
The film is based on the true story of Abdul Rahman Ibrahima Sori, an African prince and devout Muslim slaved in the American South.
In 1788, the slave ship Africa set sail from West Africa, headed for America with its berth laden with a profitable but highly perishable cargo—hundreds of men, women, and children bound in chains. Six months later the survivors were sold in Natchez, Mississippi. One of them, a twenty-six-year-old man named Abdul-Rahman made the remarkable claim to the farmer who purchased him at the auction that he was an African prince and that his father would pay gold for his ransom. The offer was refused and Abdul-Rahman did not return to Africa for another forty years. During his enslavement he toiled on the Foster plantation, married, and fathered nine children. His story also eventually made him the most famous African in America, attracting the support of powerful men such as President John Quincy Adams.
After forty years of slavery, Abdul-Rahman finally reclaimed his freedom, but he defied the order to return immediately to Africa, and instead traveled throughout the northern states, speaking to huge audiences in a partially successful attempt to raise enough money to buy his children's freedom. Finally at the age of sixty-seven, and after raising funds to free two of his children, Abdul-Rahman returned to Africa, only to fall ill and die just as word of his arrival reached his former home of Futa Jalloo in present-day Guinea. Abdul-Rahman survived the harsh ordeals of slavery through his love of family and his deep faith as a Muslim.

text: Last night was the first night of the finals for this season on Dancing With The Stars. There were perfect scores achieved by Meryl Davis and Maksim and also by Derek Hough and Amy Purdy. Despite the dire warnings about his shoulder and how Mark Ballas might not be able to dance, he didn't seem to be suffering, at least while dancing. He danced twice with Candace Cameron Bure and their scores were about the same as they always are. Good, but not amazing. At the end of the night it was James Maslow who got eliminated. All season I thought he had a great chance to make it to the finals and the real-life couple seemed to have the chemistry but I don't think enough people who actually vote on the show know who he is and he was voted off. I think the fact that Peta is still fairly new to the show also played a part because voters still don't know who she really is either.

Date: December 21 2012
A summary of trading in key commodities markets overseas:
Oil closed above $US90 a barrel for the first time in two months as it tracked an upward move in US stock markets.
Benchmark crude for February delivery ended the day at $US90.13 per barrel, up 15 cents, on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Brent crude, used to price international varieties of oil, dropped 16 cents to finish at $US110.20 per barrel in London.
Meanwhile, gasoline prices continued to drop, while natural gas prices surged more than four per cent.
Hopes faded for a pre-Christmas deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff as budget talks in Washington reached a partisan standoff.
Without a deal, the hundreds of billions of dollars in spending cuts and tax hikes that will take effect could throw the US economy back into recession, economists believe.
Such a prospect would likely mean decreasing energy demand.
Oil was lower for most of the morning then moved higher as US stocks pushed into positive territory in the afternoon.
Base metals slid to a negative close on the London Metal Exchange, as concerns over the US fiscal cliff and the duration of the nation's easy monetary policy gave investors reason to lock in profits.
At the close of open outcry trading, LME three-month copper was down 2.0 per cent at $US7,770 a metric ton. The metal earlier hit a three-week low at $US7,735/ton.
Concerns over the so-called fiscal cliff have been weighing on appetite for risk-related assets, such as base metals, in recent sessions.
The relatively strong run by metals such as copper since mid-November may also be playing a part in the complex's tumble, as investors take the opportunity to cash in on profits.
Gold and silver slumped to their lowest prices in almost four months as investors cashed out in anticipation of higher taxes in 2013 on investment income from the precious metals.
Though tax policy is still a subject of negotiations between the White House and congressional Republicans, a set of new or increased taxes is due to come on line next year, including higher rates on returns from gold exchange-traded funds and physical bullion, and on general investment income for high-net-worth individuals.
Gold has settled lower for three consecutive sessions amid fading hopes for a federal budget deal to avert the automatic tax increases and spending cuts set to take effect in January.
The most actively traded gold contract, for February delivery, fell $US21.80, or 1.3 per cent, to settle at $US1,645.90 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, the lowest since late August.
Silver, which had held larger gains than gold after rallying in September and October, dropped 4.6 per cent.
About half of global silver production is consumed by industry, including in electronics, solar panels and photography, and the chance that the fiscal cliff would hamper growth in the world's largest economy has sent investors to the exits.
Silver for March delivery fell $US1.438 to settle at $US29.678 an ounce on the Comex, the lowest since August 22.

RIVERSIDE - An Arizona man who traveled to the Inland Empire to have sex with a 14-year-old boy in Ontario has been sentenced to 12 years in federal prison.
Michael Killala, 43, of Peoria, Ariz., was sentenced Monday by U.S. District Judge Virginia A. Phillips after he pleaded guilty in August to two counts of possessing child pornography.
Among his photos were two images depicting sexual acts with the teenage victim, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office.
The teen was living in Corona in 2011 when he met Killala on the Internet.
Killala visited him last December and again the following month, when he took the boy to an Ontario hotel, according to the news release.
Killala gave the boy vodka before having sex with him. He was arrested while checking out of the hotel.
His phone had more than 3,000 text messages that he had exchanged with the teen.
The victim's mother spoke at the sentencing Monday, saying that Killala "preyed on our son for his own perverse sexual gratification."
She said her son was traumatized and suffered from "debilitating anxiety, flashbacks, overwhelming shame, anger, loss of sleep and severe depression" and feared Killala would kill him, according to the news release.
The FBI, and Ontario and Corona police investigated the case.

RICHMOND, VA -- Performance Food Group Inc., parent company of vending and OCS distributor Vistar, has entered into an agreement to acquire Fox River Foods Inc., an independently owned broadline foodservice distribution company serving customers in seven states throughout the upper Midwest. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Fox River Foods began operations in 1956 and currently serves more than 7,000 customers in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri and Wisconsin. Its customers range from fine dining establishments to family restaurants, schools, healthcare facilities, childcare centers, hotels and concessionaires.
It's based in Montgomery, IL, where recent warehouse expansions increased its dry, refrigerated and frozen storage capacity to 326,000 square feet.
PFG president and chief executive George Holm said the addition of Fox River Foods will significantly strengthen the company's position in the region and in several key metropolitan areas, particularly Chicago.
The transaction is expected to close before the end of the year.

It delivers to more than 115,000 clients that include vending operations, restaurants, pizzerias, theaters, schools, hotels, healthcare facilities and other institutions through its 64 distribution centers and 12 Merchant's Mart locations across the U.S.

I am very new to Backtrack and linux, but having alot of fun learning both. I have a weird glitch when using my agp radeon hd 2400 pro however. When I do startx it tries to start, screen goes black and then most of the time I get a very small warped area of my screen with vertical white lines. Everything else is black. There is no error messages displayed.
Figured out the ctrl-alt-f1 keystroke to get me back into the konsole after experiementing around. ran Xorg -configure, then tried startx again and worked perfect.
Next time I booted into Backtrack 4 beta I did Xorg -configure first then startx but had same black screen again. This time I noticed that the white vertical lines in a very small portion in the center of my screen stopped and a new weird white vertical lines in some symbol shape was up. After some experimenting, I noticed that I would get a small white distorted block as a mouse cursor in the area of the shape when moving my mouse around when it was in that portion of the screen. I right clicked and sure enough a menu system came up. The menu was distorted and fuzzy and unreadable and very small as well. after clicking on some I was dropped back to the konsole. when trying startx again it worked perfect and I figured out I did a log out on the menu.
Next few times are all the same results, but sometimes the area fo the screen keeps diminishing or even sometimes remains completely black. Its like it condenses the screen into a very small square in the middle of my monitor, and makes it completely static. Most of the time now I just ctrl-alt-f1 out and do startx again and works the second time.
I am assuming it is a problem with the settings for the size, depth or something, though not sure why it fixes itself at random. 2 times out of all the attempts it booted up fine the first time. Also, a few times I restart it 10+ times and it never works, and only works again after a hard reboot. Most of the time it works on the 2nd attempt.
One more thing to add, is the back of the agp card only has the lcd type connections, the many small square ones and the plus sign on left all within a rectangle shape conenction. My monitor is still a regular big one, and am using an adapter to connect to one of the slots, this also might contribute to the problem.
If anyone has suggestions on my end if I am doing somethign wrong please inform me. If it is a bug, then wanted it to at least be known.

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Think the NFL Draft isn't a fluid situation?
Personnel people around the league love the physical skills Zach Mettenberger brings to the table, but the former LSU quarterback is carrying more baggage these days than a Kardashian planning a weekend trip.
Some of the problems are obvious like the two sexual battery charges that resulted in Mettenberger's dismissal from the University of Georgia back in 2010 or the torn ACL which ended his college career.
The latest black mark on Mettenberger's already shaky resume, however, was revealed Monday when word leaked that he generated a diluted urine sample at the NFL Scouting Combine back in February.
A diluted sample -- whether positive or negative -- is supposed to be regarded as a failed test under the NFL's collectively bargained drug-testing agreement.
And Mettenberger, a 6-foot-5 kid who looks like he's straight out of central casting for the prototypical NFL pocket-style quarterback, was one of more than 10 prospects with positive tests from the combine, with FOX Sports reporting that Florida State defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan, LSU defensive tackle Anthony Johnson and Miami offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson were among the other players on the wrong end of the testing.
Mettenberger, along with Jernigan, a potential first-round pick before this news broke, were certainly the headliners, though.
Mettenberger's physical therapist, Jason Eliowitz, went into full-spin mode and claimed the test result was a result of Mettenberger's efforts to combat dehydration while rigorously rehabbing his knee.
"Mettenberger was experiencing frequent muscle cramping during the day as well as at night while trying to sleep." Eliowitz wrote in a letter to Dr. Lawrence Brown, the NFL's adviser for drugs of abuse and alcohol, according to ProfootballTalk.com.
"Thus, Mettenberger was advised to drink as much as 1 to 1.5 gallons of water per day, to increase his consumption of foods high in potassium, and to increase his sodium intake."
Jernigan's agent, Sonny Shah, told ESPN that Jernigan's test result was also a result of over-hydration.
Now before you roll your eyes, understand the explanation is at least plausible.
All human urine contains a protein called creatinine, which comes from the normal physiologic breakdown of muscle tissue. Large quantities of water can indeed dilute the creatinine present and one of the biggest problems facing employers who do drug tests are what to do with specimens reported as "Negative, dilute".
Understand, though, the confidentiality of the NFL's drug testing program is a problem here because we don't know whether Mettenberger's sample or Jernigan's came back as "negative, dilute" or "positive, dilute" -- a very important distinction.
If a specimen comes back with a "positive dilute" designation, that means a drug or metabolite was encountered and the dilution is meaningless, the sample is dirty.
On the other hand a "negative, dilute" end game could mean that Mettenberger and Jernigan are indeed just really thirsty guys with some bad luck
Mettenberger's agent, Joe Linta, is still waiting on Brown's response to the dehydration theory and an unfavorable outcome means Mettenberger, along with everyone else who tested positive in Indianapolis, enters the NFL under the cloud of a far more stringent testing regimen than the average player.
Either way, though, drug rumors three days before the draft are never good for any prospect, never mind one that has had character issues in the past and is four months removed from ACL surgery.
Mettenberger will get his chance somewhere, but this latest hiccup probably derails what was some pretty significant momentum and a likely second-round grade.
