compiling 1.0-4180 on AMD64 / RedHat64 beta (Taroon)?
Has anyone had any luck getting the 1.0-4180 driver to compile on the RH64 beta (Taroon) for a AMD64 system.? When compiling the NVIDIA_kernel module I get the following error:
nv.c:1282: warning: passing arg 1 of `remap_page_range_Rsmp_7a2932f2' makes pointer from integer without a cast
nv.c:1282: incompatible type for argument 4 of `remap_page_range_Rsmp_7a2932f2'
nv.c:1282: too few arguments to function `remap_page_range_Rsmp_7a2932f2'
This is because in include/linux/mm.h on the 2.4.21-1.1931.2.349.2.2.entsmp kernel, the remap_page_range function prototype is now 5 arguments instead of 4. So the nv.c isn't written to support this newer kernel.
I know its unlikely this will be fixed anytime soon especially considering that kernel is still in beta, but I was wondering if anyone has figured out a workaround to get the kernel module compiled. The GLX module compiles fine, by the way.
Thanks for the info!
I'd don't think many people have access to amd64's.....must be nice! I'm jealous!!!!!
Error compiling NVKERENL on Hp Itanium2 box
I am having the exact same problem on my itanium 2 system. I am running RedHat's AW-3.0 (taroon) on a dual proc itanium 2 hp-zx6000 (smoking fast system who needs 32 bit support anyway)
I also noticed few errors before the remap_page error related to the highmem.h file, but i have 10gig ram on my box so maybe that was just on my system?
Please let me know if theres a patch i can use to get the drivers to compile.
Feedback from Redhat...
Heres some feedback from redhat on taroon drivers... the best part is that taroon has code that is 'back ported from 2.5.x,' After some checking around, i noticed people having the same problems trying to get nvidia drivers to work on the 2.6 kernel... so i guess when nvidia gets a ia64 build for the 2.6 kernel going it should work with taroon.
lets hope this is real soon or all the redhat advanced workstation workstations will be running ati cards...
Red Hat doesn't support Nvidia's binary drivers at all on any platform.
We do not approach vendors and ask them to speed up their proprietary driver release process for drivers we don't support either.
People who use their drivers however are of course free to ask them for
updated drivers, support, etc. if they wish, however Red Hat is not involved
in that process.
Nvidia uses their own proprietary agpgart, and does not use the agpgart
which we ship, so any fixes to agpgart that we provide won't affect users
using Nvidia proprietary drivers at all.
The problem described in the email you point out above, is because the Red
Hat kernel contains various enhancements over a stock 2.4.x kernel, which
have either been developed at Red Hat directly, or back ported from 2.5.x,
which change many kernel internals. The kernel does not have a
advertised ABI, and so proprietary kernel modules will break and require
their vendors to fix them to work with new kernels. Nvidia will have to
update their drivers to work with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 kernel.
Please contact Nvidia directly for any support issues/requests pertaining
to their drivers.

The opposite of black holes.
I thought he meant "with holes." Never mind then.
That's more like something you would see on the twitter feed of a Mexican cartel member.
Transit of Venus folks! 5th June at around 10:00 GMT
Get your telescopes, watch live feed etc. This only happends every 150 odd years!
I find chemistry boring but astronomy is very interesting and I have always been interested in it since an early age. It was astronomy which made me want to become a scientist but after encountering chemistry in secondary school I gave up on that dream. God how I hate chemistry.
I'm still interested in the universe though and occasionally do bits of research about it and regularly learn new information about it. It's truly a beautiful place and a work of art if I do say so myself.
It's amazing to think about how vast and enormous the universe is. I don't think we can even be compared to ants when we make the universe as the scale. Billions of galaxies and billions of stars are out there and God knows what inhabit the planets in orbit among these stars. I personally think other life is out there although I don't think we'll ever encounter them.
Just think, while you're reading this there could be countless civilizations out there rising and falling.
havent looked much into that, I read about it some but am not much into astrology and physics.
far more insterested in paleo-biology, evolutionary biology and evolutionary pyschology ( all part of my major)
but if you specify exactly what you want to discuss I would happily talk.
mostly cuz im bored & its almost finals week so i have very little to do.
astrology is different to astronomy ;)
I want to be a medical doctor. I am very good at human biology. Maybe even a doctor for NASA that would be cool :D
Astrology is about the star-signs and the positions of the planets. Astrology is used for daily horoscopes and it's not true. I used to enjoy reading the daily horoscopes in the newspaper just to see what The Wizard Drgudrid would say about me this week. Once he said I would meet a very special person and enter a relationship with them...yeah...I'm still waiting for that to happen Wizard Drgudrid...
Also, fireball or GTFO Drgudrid. Everyone knows that it's a fireball spell that makes a wizard and not an empty claim! ;P
Yeah but seriously, I have never believed in astrology and no evidence supports it. The claims that have been made about my birth sign have never come true. I know Deer_Hunter meant astronomy though but I just wanted to give my two cents on astrology which isn't scientific and it certainly doesn't contain any ties to science.
Ah crap, ur right astronomy not astrology- wasn't paying attention when i wrote that, studing for finals and all.

On my last Emma Watson article I wrote I mentioned Emma Watson is a total doll and the she decides to f*ck it all up by cutting her hair short, I guess sometimes, we as humans want to try something new, that's understandable, although this just screams I want to experiment with a BBB (butch biker bitch). She looks like Tim "The Toolman" Taylor's older son. Not elementary my dear Watson, not elementary at all. Of course that's just seeing only that pic of her on the street, her expression nor her clothes can't help her case but we do have another pic, a Careymulliganesque portrait that shows you she can still look lovely, she wins round two. Round three will be seeing her on video, from all angles, deciding if it really was a bad decision or just an unexpected one that will need a little getting used to.

Lions' Roy Williams leaves game after being hit hard
Updated: October 8, 2006, 4:43 PM ETAssociated Press
MINNEAPOLIS -- Roy Williams, the Detroit Lions' leading receiver, was shaken up on his team's first possession and left Sunday's 26-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Williams caught a first-down pass from Jon Kitna on a slant pattern near midfield, and Minnesota safety Darren Sharper finished the play with a hard hit to the neck and shoulder of Williams. Williams writhed in pain briefly before walking off the field. He had his shoulder pads off on the sideline while a trainer worked on him, ...

adidas Teamgeist II intelligent footbal
December 14, 2007 adidas and Cairos Technologies have unveiled a new Goal Line Technology and the adidas intelligent football at the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan which finishes this weekend. The official match ball of the tournament, adidas Teamgeist II, features a new technology designed to assist the referee's decision in determining when and if the ball has crossed the goal line, making it the most accurate football ever produced. Our money is on the full blown Cairos system eventually being adopted at the elite level, partly because it would further human understanding of human physiology and the tactics of the complex game of soccer, but mainly because the eye candy information graphics that can be generated from the goldmine of data will benefit television in its quest to add uniqueness to sports coverage.

flowguard gold cpvc
Is there a difference in flowguard gold and other cpvc pipe? Also how to tell the difference.Thanks:help:
Couldn't tell you if one is better than the other. . . .
Every piece of pipe manufactured has to have the manufacturer's mark on it. It says FLOWGUARD GOLD in really huge letters all over it.
As far as I know flowguard is a brand. The glue is much better, but the pipe is pipe. The testing codes on the pipe (I believe it's ASTM######) will tell you if its the same stuff

I was just in Las Vegas for the first weekend of March Madness and perused the early betting lines and odds to win the 2011 BCS Championship game (for the 2010 season). In today's day and age, for good (at least for SEC fans) and bad (for everyone else), it was easy to tear the sheet in half the long way and forget about most of the teams on the list. (No, Stanford and Connecticut aren't going to win the whole ball of wax.) And it was just as easy to tear the sheet the other way and eliminate another boatload of teams like Missouri and Wisconsin. Oh sure, I sort of like Nebraska at 14-to-1 considering the improved offense, strong defense, and favorable schedule, but this is about guessing who's going to win the national championship. That means figuring out who's going to win the SEC title.
It really has been an impressive run for the SEC winning the last four national championships and five of the last seven, and Auburn might have made it six in eight years had it gotten a break in 2004, but it hasn't been without a few breaks.
Alabama knocked out Colt McCoy in last year's championship, but that's part of football and has to be let go of by those trying to diminish the accomplishments of a great team. 2007 LSU needed a slew of wacky things to happen so it could play for the title after losing two games; 2006 Florida got its big break when USC gagged away a 13-9 loss to UCLA; and 2003 LSU got on the right side of the debate going from third to second in the BCS rankings thanks to an Oklahoma Big 12 title loss and then catching a bigger break playing the Sooners instead of USC. But the SEC put the ball in the hole once it got the chance in each of the title games, no matter how the teams got there, and after so much success, the big spring question is whether or not the 2010 national championship will be settled in the Georgia Dome on December 4th instead of in Glendale, Arizona, on January 10th.
And that could lead to the big, ugly, elephant-in-the-room theoretical debate that the BCS has avoided so far. What happens when there's a one-loss SEC team and two unbeaten teams from BCS leagues? Considering what the SEC has done in national championships, would anyone pick anyone but the SEC champion in the title game? Remember, of the five recent national champions from the SEC, only Alabama of last year was able to get through clean, and if you hate the BCS and are looking for a big-time brouhaha, this could be your year.
Say, for argument's sake, that Florida loses at Alabama in the regular season, wins every other game, and then beats the Tide in a rematch in the SEC Championship. In this hypothetical situation, Ohio State and Texas finish unbeaten. There would be little question that the Buckeyes and Longhorns would play for the national title, considering how big those two are, but would everyone truly believe that the best two teams were playing for the championship? To take this a step further and to what might have been, say Terrence Cody doesn't block a Tennessee field goal attempt in the final seconds of last year's 12-10 Tide win, Alabama loses, but goes on to stomp Florida in the SEC Championship game. Meanwhile, Texas and Cincinnati both go undefeated. Would the Bearcats have gone to Pasadena? Maybe, and no one would've been thrilled with that.
Now the stakes are higher than ever for the SEC because of all the recent success, and the pressure is even greater for Alabama, Florida, and LSU, the three projected top teams in the league. The SEC has also put pressure on the entire system with a case of champion-until-proven-otherwise issue, and unless something happens from out of left field, like a two-loss SEC champion and two juggernaut seasons from big name programs like Oklahoma, Texas, Ohio State or USC, it's the SEC's BCS world and everyone else is standing in line.

The 5 Biggest SEC Spring Storylines
1. Urban Meyer's health. He has had a month off to try to recharge the batteries, but will that be enough? This is one of the premier coaches in all of sports and one who can take a fantastically talented, but extremely green team to the national title if he's at the top of his game. But if he's struggling to stay healthy and the stress becomes a problem, then his rush to come back will effect more than just this 2010 Gators; it'll effect the entire program (to say nothing of his health and well-being).
2. How fast can Alabama and Florida rebuild and reload? Almost anyone else would be looking at this season as a time to retool with so many personnel losses, but instead, the Gators and Tide will be among the favorites to win the national title. Get them now, because each program is stockpiled with young NFL talent amassed from the recent recruiting classes.
3. Is Georgia ready to rebound and be a player again? The Dawgs missed their turn on the SEC national championship run in 2008, and now the window appears to be slammed shut and nailed down. This doesn't appear to be the year they'll get their groove back with a ton of major concerns on both sides of the ball, but the schedule isn't that bad and there are athletes in place to hope for a surprise.
4. Is LSU ready to rebound and be in the national title chase again? The offense has to be far, far better and the defensive line has to undergo an overhaul, but Les Miles has done a great job of recruiting over the years and he has enough primetime players to challenge Alabama for the West. This isn't a good enough team to go undefeated, but if LSU can win the division, win the SEC, and hope for the right breaks, it would've be a shocker if a third national title in eight years comes to Baton Rouge.
5. Who's ready to take the next step and be back among the top teams between Arkansas, Auburn, Ole Miss, and Tennessee, and where does South Carolina fit in? All these teams are good enough to beat anyone in the conference on the right day, but can one put it all together to become a player? Arkansas, because of the offense, might have the most interesting mix and the best chance to be on the inside of the velvet rope.

Aquino tells MNLF gunmen: Surrender now or face the full force of gov't
More News from Allan Nawal
DAVAO CITY, Philippines—President Benigno Aquino III said on Thursday that the government would not hesitate to do full battle with Moro National Liberation Front fighters while taking into consideration the safety of civilians taken hostage by the MNLF in Zamboanga City.
"In this case, the state demonstrated that it has enough force and is ready to use it," Mr. Aquino told reporters at the Zamboanga City Airport during a press briefing, which was also aired on ANC.
He said the determination that government demonstrated in the past 11 days should be enough for the remaining MNLF men to consider yielding.
"It's not too late yet for the remaining enemies (to give up). They should know that life is important. They might want to look at how important life is," the President said.
Mr. Aquino also said the Zamboanga City crisis and its spillover in Basilan was the handiwork of only a few MNLF men.
"The other factions (of the MNLF) condemned this," he said, adding that those not supportive of Nur Misuari have expressed readiness to discuss with the government the general sentiments that MNLF members have had since the signing of the peace agreement in 1996.
Complaints against the government's alleged failure to implement some provisions of the peace agreement – including the formation of a regional security command – were not isolated to Misuari's followers.
Even those belonging to the faction headed by Muslimin Sema of the Council of 15 had the same complaints against the government in so far as implementation of the 1996 peace agreement was concerned.
But the Sema faction said it would continue to negotiate with the government for the implementation of some provisions through the help of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
"We are ready to face those wanting to peacefully negotiate for permanent peace," Mr. Aquino said.
The President said even if the government was open to negotiations, disgruntled groups might continue to use violence in pushing their cause.
"Can I guarantee that there will be no terrorist activities anymore? There is no nation that could make such guarantee," he said.
But then, he said, the government would fight forces that would seek to destabilize the nation.
Mr. Aquino cited the current crisis as an example of government's readiness to confront violence.
"When this crisis started, our security forces were ready. Instead of the enemies occupying more territories, the size of their area shrunk by the day," he said.
But he said the public should not take things for granted even if the government was there for them. Public cooperation, he said, has always been and would continue to be important.
Aquino pledged a tighter intelligence service.
He added that the government understood the sentiments of the evacuees about going home but could not readily allow them to go back to their homes in areas recovered by government troops from MNLF gunmen.
"We understood they (evacuees) want to go back to their homes already. But are we sure they are safe? That there will be no more mortar (shelling)?" he asked.
Mr. Aquino said the evacuees should not worry because the government – which estimated a P3.89-billion relief and rehabilitation budget – had the "necessary funds to take care of them."
Aquino, meanwhile, downplayed criticisms he was micromanaging the Zamboanga City crisis.
"We assign people responsibilities because we knew they were capable of fulfilling them," he said.
But then, the President said as "both commander-in-chief and the President, everything is my responsibility so I'm very involved."

Critical Review by Bruce King
SOURCE: "A Chekhovian Comedy," in The Sewanee Review, Vol. 93, No. 3, Summer, 1985, pp. lx-lxii.
In the review below, King offers a favorable assessment of In Custody, stating that "Desai delights us by transforming the expected into the surprising."
Anita Desai's latest novel [In Custody] explores R. K. Narayan's comic territory of well-meaning, bumbling incompetent people made more absurd when offered possibilities of change, achievement, and fame. But it is unlike a Narayan novel in that the disruption of a timeless passive India by the modern world does not conclude with humility and the acceptance of karma or fate: In Custody shows the improbability of returning to the womb of ambitionless resignation. Desai's comedy is sharper, tougher, more farcical, and less comforting than Narayan's quiet good-natured tolerance of incongruities and paradox. Instead of the intrusion's destroying itself, leaving life to go on as previously, Desai's characters remain haunted by ambitions while nostalgic for the past. They are easily if reluctantly tempted by hope; unable to act decisively, they become victims of themselves.
Since Desai is interested in the pattern of apparently random lives, her novels are posted with directions; but they are also rich in subtexts suggested by settings, history, deviations from character types, unexpected turns of the story. Although In Custody entails the comic mutual dependence that develops between a provincial college teacher and a famous aging poet, the historical relationship of language and culture to politics and society is an implied theme of the novel. The teacher is one of life's losers. A Hindu by religion, balding in his mid-thirties, lovelessly married, holding only a temporary lectureship, he is resigned to his fate of teaching Hindi instead of the Urdu language he loves. Unexpectedly he is asked to interview the greatest living Urdu poet. Hoping to gain entry into Delhi literary circles and publish his own Urdu poetry, he is soon trapped in the poet's world of extravagance, waste, cunning, and wild emotions, for which he has not the time nor money nor ability. The poet, a grotesque worthy of Gogol or the early Nabokov, no longer writes verse, but lives flamboyantly, self-destructively, irresponsibly. Urdu, the language of the rich Moghul court culture of the former Muslim rulers of North India, whose power rapidly declined after the abortive 1851 mutiny against the British, lost its social basis after Partition, when millions of Muslims fled to Pakistan. In Hindi-speaking, Hindu-ruled India, the former grandeur of late Moghul culture, with its music recitals and dancing prostitutes, has degenerated into squalid bohemianism in the noisy overcrowded slums of Old Delhi. Urdu poets now survive by writing sentimental songs that blare into the streets densely packed with cows, cars, and pedestrians.
In Custody is filled with visual imagery economically presented. The billboard advertisements for refrigerators and cars, representing what the teacher's wife desires, contrast to the dry barrenness of the provincial city where the teacher lives, just as allusions to famous Delhi monuments of Moghul history situate the poet within a society and its past. Timeless India is represented by a Hindu temple, "a bright pink and white concrete structure with a newly-painted clay idol and fluorescent tubes for light," supposedly five hundred years old. In Custody is rich with ironies, absurdities, comic eccentricities, sly social notations, and witty parallels. Although the drama of the poet's rich life contrasts with the spiritual poverty of the teacher, both characters cannot face the modern world, and both are indecisive. The teacher is burdened with an unfulfilling job, an arranged marriage, and a neglected child; the poet's most recent wife (the mother of his neglected child) is a former prostitute who dominates him and views his fame as detracting from her own pretenses of being a poet.
What may appear a nineteenth-century Chekhovian comedy of larger-than-life feelings manifested in diminutive characters is psychologically more sophisticated. Each turn of the story brings further disaster as the teacher accepts the increasingly senile poet's foolish demands for payment of his hospital bills, future funeral expenses, and the upkeep of his wife and child after his death. The teacher, however, sees all this as giving his life meaning: he is now bound to the poet. In contrast to the only Urdu teacher of his college, who sells his family property to a real-estate developer, and the other Urdu speakers who seek jobs in Beirut and Cairo, the teacher has become the custodian of what is left of the Muslim Urdu culture of India. Although seemingly a traditional novelist who works within established conventions, Desai delights us by transforming the expected into the surprising. She revitalizes, explores, uncovers this fictive world.

Fastest Evolving Creature is 'Living Dinosaur'
Scientists have pinned down the fastest-known evolving animal – a "living dinosaur" called a tuatara.
The tuatara, Sphendon punctatus, resembles a lizard and is found only in New Zealand. It is the only surviving member of a reptilian order Sphehodontia that lived alongside early dinosaurs and separated from other reptiles 200 million years ago in the Upper Triassic period.
To make the estimate of evolutionary speed, researchers recovered DNA sequences from the bones of ancient tuatara. The team found that although tuatara have remained largely unchanged physically over very long periods of evolution, they are evolving – at a DNA level – faster than any other animal yet examined.The results will be detailed in the March issue of the journal Trends in Genetics.
"What we found is that the tuatara has the highest molecular evolutionary rate that anyone has measured," said researcher David Lambert from the Allan Wilson Centre for Molecular Ecology and Evolution in New Zealand.
Many scientists have thought that molecular evolution would be fastest in animals whose physical form, or morphology, also evolved swiftly. The tuatara finding suggests otherwise, that there is no relationship between the two rates.
"Of course we would have expected that the tuatara, which does everything slowly – they grow slowly, reproduce slowly and have a very slow metabolism – would have evolved slowly," Lambert said. "In fact, at the DNA level, they evolve extremely quickly."
The rate of evolution for Adelie penguins, which Lambert and his team have studied in the Antarctic for many years, is slightly slower than that of the tuatara. The tuatara rate is significantly faster than for other animals that have been studied, including the lion, ox, horse and the now-extinct cave bear.
Lambert says the finding will be helpful in terms of future study and conservation of the tuatara, and the team now hopes to extend the work to look at the evolution of other animal species.
"We want to go on and measure the rate of molecular evolution for humans, as well as doing more work with moa and Antarctic fish to see if rates of DNA change are uncoupled in these species," Lambert said. "There are human mummies in the Andes and some very good samples in Siberia where we have some collaborators, so we are hopeful we will be able to measure the rate of human evolution in these animals too."

Good quality, not the best fit for me
Caps are a personal thing. This one wasn't a super tall trucker, but it was a hair too deep for the way I like them. Quality was great though. If it fit, I'd have kept it.
Nice is the best

As the NBA's trade deadline drew near, the Los Angeles Clippers were said to be interested in acquiring an above-average small forward to immediately plug into the starting lineup. They didn't find that guy, but they did make one of the deadline's most stunning deals. The Clips shipped former franchise cornerstone Baron Davis and a 2011 first-round draft pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers in excha...

Griffin Helps Bring Star Power, Luster Back to Slam Dunk Contest
Posted on 21 Feb 2011 by Taylor Smith.
Hakim Warrick. DeShawn Stevenson. Jamario Moon. Jonathan Bender. Gerald Green. Fred Jones. Yep, those are all names players that have participated in the NBA's Slam Dunk Contest at All-Star Weekend since Vince Carter's memorable show-stopping performance at the 2000 event in Oakland. Not much attention-drawing star power on that list, is there? While we've had a few exceptions (Dwight Howard, ...

Clippers Lose To Cavaliers: Yep, That Just Happened
Posted on 14 Feb 2011 by Taylor Smith.
First thing's first. I knew the Cleveland Cavaliers had to win a game eventually. They came into Friday night's matchup with the Clippers riding an NBA-record 26-game losing streak, and were just getting Mo Williams back from injury. While they'd still lost 10 straight with Williams in the lineup before he went down, he's still the best player on the team. He came off the bench Friday night and...

Despite Overall Improvement, Clippers Can't Find Road Mojo
Posted on 8 Feb 2011 by Taylor Smith.
If the Los Angeles Clippers wore red shoes, maybe Blake Griffin could close his eyes, click his heels, and chant, "There's no place like home. There's no place like home." Maybe then, everything would be dandy. However, the Clippers don't wear red shoes, and the notion that something like that could actually work is inane. What's wrong with you, writer guy? Be that as it may, the C...

Eastern Conference All-Star starter Derrick Rose scored 32 points and dished out 11 assists as the Chicago Bulls halted the Los Angeles Clippers' nine-game home winning streak 106-88 at Staples Center Wednesday night. Blake Griffin scored 32 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and chipped in with seven assists, but was held in check for the most part in the second half. It was his 40th double-double of...

Clippers-Bulls Preview (Feb. 2)
Posted on 2 Feb 2011 by Taylor Smith.
Before they're exiled from Staples Center for just about all of February in favor of the Grammy Awards, the Los Angeles Clippers have some business to take care of. The Chicago Bulls come to L.A. having won five straight games, and will be looking to avenge a one-point loss to the Clippers on December 18 in Chicago. However, beating the Clippers at Staples Center is a tall order these days. Th...

Breaking News: The Los Angeles Clippers Matter
Posted on 1 Feb 2011 by Taylor Smith.
47 games into the 2010-11 NBA season, the Los Angeles Clippers have won 19 and lost 28. Sound unspectacular? Perhaps. However, these Clippers have to be the most exciting 13th place team in the history of the league, don't they? Now, I'm not much of an NBA historian. I'm 24 years old, and have only been heavily NBA-conscious since 1999 or 2000. Really, though, amongst all the 13th place teams ...

The Clippers are hurting. No, not because they blew a 15-point lead last night on their way to a 112-105 loss to the Dallas Mavericks (although that certainly can't help things, either). They're hurting physically.

Do the Clippers Have What it Takes to Win on the Road?
Posted on 21 Jan 2011 by Taylor Smith.
Remember when the Los Angeles Clippers started the 2010-11 season with a 1-13 record? Me neither. LA's "other team" has gone 15-13 since that point, and, while they're still 10 games under .500 on the season, has started to steal some of the headlines from their Staples Center co-residents, the Lakers. The Clippers have rattled off six consecutive wins at home to get to 13-13 at Sta...

Andrew Keegan Accused of Abusing His Girlfriend
Buzz In: Who Was Your Tween/Teen Crush?
Like us on Facebook
I was disturbed (and let's face it, a little heartbroken) to hear the news that Andrew Keegan has been accused of beating his girlfriend. Like many other Teen Beat-loving girls, I had a major crush on Andrew back in Camp Nowhere — and it may or may not have stretched into the 10 Things I Hate About You era. Even though Keegan had his heyday during my teenage years, I get a bit nostalgic anytime he shows up on my radar.
Who amongst us wasn't guilty of once plastering our bedroom walls with photos of Jonathan Taylor Thomas or Boy Meets World's Ryder Strong? Even if you've moved on to a more mature imaginary relationship with Robert Pattinson or John Krasinski, who was your tween/teen crush?

Hmm for me it mainly was Macaulay Culkin. I loved him in My Girl, Home Alone, Richie Rich and The Good Son. I still get those feelings when I see him now, but he is not that cute anymore. I loved him in Partymonster too, which is a far cry from the other movies he did. But I respect him for it. I also had a crush on AJ from the Backstreet boys, Daniel Johns from Silverchair, Jari Litmanen ( A Finnish soccer player), Barry Watson from seventh heaven and basically every other long-haired boy haha.

Many of the questions centered on a split within House Republican leadership, and Tuesday afternoon, Majority Leader Eric Cantor said he opposed the Senate deal. It's hard not to see that as undermining Boehner, who was trying to get the deal through the House, though Cantor's spokesman had this to say:
— @DougHeye via Twitter for BlackBerry®
Speaker John Boehner (Ohio) voted in favor of the measure. But Majority Leader Eric Cantor (Va.) voted against the legislation, as did Whip Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) and Chief Deputy Whip Peter Roskam (Ill.). House Budget Committee Chairman and 2012 GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan voted in favor of the deal.So "standing with" Boehner apparently doesn't mean voting with him on a vote seen as crucial for the future of Boehner's leadership. Boehner might want to remember that next time Cantor is described as standing with him.
But even Cantor's vote against the deal isn't enough for some House Republicans:
— @robertcostaNRO via web
Republicans are going into the 113th Congress really unhappy with each other, and with John Boehner's leadership looking as weak as it ever has at just the moment Democrats are picking up seats in both houses of Congress. It's definitely a popcorn-worthy scenario. The trouble with all of this, though, is that even while falling into an orgy of finger-pointing, Republicans are still as good at hurting the country as they are at hurting their own party, and they've got another chance coming up.

Coke Zero rethinks European ad strategy
By Matthew Chapman, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 21 August 2012 08:30AM
Coca-Cola is reviewing its marketing strategy for its Coke Zero low-calorie drink across its North West Europe and Nordics (NWEN) region.
It is understood that the brand may move away from its 'Taste the Possibilities' campaign, introduced in February as part of a wider global push created by Ogilvy Brazil.
The soft-drinks company has hired ad agency Crispin Porter & Bogusky to refresh the strategy for Coke Zero. Coca-Cola's latest move to shake up its advertising in the region follows the appointment of BETC London to its Diet Coke ad account earlier this month.
Coca-Cola NWEN is understood to be seeking greater autonomy from the global business to better appeal to tastes of local markets.
News of the shake-up follows confirmation that Coke Zero is to reprise its tie-up with the James Bond franchise for the forthcoming movie Skyfall, to be released on 26 October.
A Coca-Cola spokeswoman said: 'Coke Zero's 2012 campaign is built around inviting consumers to 'Taste The Possibilities' and is an evolution of its campaign from the previous year. We recently announced the brand's Bond SKYFALL partnership, with forthcoming activity amplifying this across a fully integrated marketing campaign. It is too early to comment on any activity beyond 2012.'

You can rest assured, Bruins fans, that there are no rebuilding years. Every single year the team's goal is to capture the Stanley Cup.
With that in mind, there's certainly a lot going on in the world of the Bruins. The team just opened contract negotiations with presumed starting goaltender Tuukka Rask, who's job it is to replace the heralded former Conn Smythe winner Tim Thomas. Aside from that, the team took a potential starting goalie of the future in this week's amateur draft, selecting Malcolm Subban, younger brother of Montreal's P.K. Subban. On top of it all, director of amateur scouting Wayne Smith took some time to talk to NESN Daily, outlining the team's yearly goals, in addition to how the club thinks it fared in this year's draft.

CLEMSON Industrial engineers Sandra Garrett of Clemson University and Barrett Caldwell of Purdue University have proposed a new system to warn of an impending pandemic by monitoring signals in human behavior. The system could result in using a simple icon on a television screen to warn of future phases of an outbreak of an illness such as the flu.
Researchers agree it is extremely difficult to identify a pandemic event before it is under way and spreading from person to person, yet the timeliness of this early detection is critical for an effective response and disaster-mitigation strategy. History and computer-generated simulations show that the speed in which a response strategy is initiated, even more than the specific strategy itself, will have the largest influence in reducing the overall impact of a pandemic. Given the importance of rapid response, identifying the specific event phases and the triggers that indicate a need for action is essential.
"We know that delays in identification are critical," Garrett said. "Once any significant number of cases are identified, especially in high-transit areas, the pandemic spread is virtually impossible to control. We have proposed a system that monitors what humans are doing leading up to a pandemic to increase the likelihood of early detection."
Garrett said the system would monitor such activities as an increase in flu-related medicine purchases or a spike in Internet use for certain types of flu-related information. These early indicators are important to notice since the spread of influenza can occur before someone begins to show symptoms of being sick and before they seek medical attention. Since a pandemic does not occur at a single point in time, but rather evolves, it is often difficult to detect an outbreak from physician or local health-department reports of an increase in flu cases.
"Understanding these phases might be a way to overcome a fundamental hurdle in contro

IPOH: Two people, one of them the driver, were badly hurt and eight others were slightly injured after an express bus they were travelling in skidded and landed in a ditch along the North-South Expressway near Taiping on Thursday.
Taiping Fire and Rescue chief Hasna Rashid said the bus was carrying 23 passengers from Lumut to Alor Setar when it knocked into the side railing at Km217.5 on a north-bound lane of the highway at 1.50 pm and landed in the ditch.
"All the injured people were rushed to the Taiping Hospital and the unhurt passengers were transferred to another bus and resumed their journey to Alor Setar, he added.
Twenty firemen from the Taiping and Kuala Kangsar fire and rescue stations helped the passengers out of the bus and cleaned up the oil spill on the body of the vehicle and on the road, said Hasna.
Taiping OCPD ACP Yusof Mohd Diah said the bus was trying to avoid ramming a car when the accident happened. - Bernama

Because of its wonderful climate, Povence is one of the loveliest regions of France. Every year, around 35 million tourists flock there to lap up its Mediterranean landscapes, and to enjoy its fabulous food, bursting with sun-ripened flavours. They also come in search of the friendly, chilled-out Provencal lifestyle, that subtle mixture of gentleness and exuberance which was so well portrayed by film-maker and writer, Marcel Pagnol. Many other authors have helped make Provence famous, such as the writer Jean Giono, and the poet René Char. From the plains of the Rhône and the Durance to the foothills of the Alps, from the steep gorges of Verdon to the multicoloured Massifs of the Esterel, and from the forests of green oak to the Garrigue, Provence has always cast a subtle spell. The first Greek settlers made their home in Marseille around 600 BC and the popes chose the city of Avignon as their place of residence between 1309 and 1423. Songs of courtly love sung by twelfth century Provencal troubadours still echo through the olive groves in this blessed land, made sublime by the painters Cézanne and Van Gogh. Visit the Palais des Papes, one of the wonders of Avignon.
