Merrimack man accused of stabbing teen on Saturday arrested in Manchester
March 02. 2014 10:32PM
MERRIMACK — Manchester police arrested a man Sunday afternoon in connection with a stabbing in Merrimack.
Merrimack police Sgt. Dennis Foley said Dean Janggen, 20, was arrested on a warrant at the Subway restaurant on Elm Street in Manchester around 3:30 p.m. Sunday, in connection with an assault that took place near the London Court area of Merrimack Saturday night.
Janggen allegedly stabbed a male teenager and fled the scene, in the area of Front and Center streets. Foley said the teenager suffered a non-life threatening stab wound to his chest area. He was treated and released from a Nashua-area hospital.
Foley was arrested without incident in Manchester, and transported to Merrimack, where he was charged with first- and second-degree assault. On Sunday night, Foley said bail conditions and an arraignment date on the charges had yet to be determined.

It's court time again, people. "Symantec filed a lawsuit in Seattle today alleging Microsoft committed a host of business misdeeds, including misappropriating trade secrets and violating a contract that covered code used in part of the coming Windows Vista operating system. The suit, filed in US District Court for the Western District of Washington, relates to a contract between Microsoft and Veritas, which merged into Symantec last year, dating to 1996."

Co-Founders Peter Beale and Marion Rosenberg OBE reflect on the early days of BAFTA Los Angeles
It's hard to believe that BAFTA Los Angeles is twenty-five years old.
We were having a cup of coffee after a screening in Hollywood, lamenting the fact we missed the times in London when cast and crew would all repair to a pub and discuss the film, socialize and exchange ideas. Here in Hollywood everyone just went home. Peter said, "It would be great if we had BAFTA here. They have a restaurant and a bar, and after the screening everyone gets together to 'dish' and either pull the film apart or lavish it with praise."
Marion remembered that when Reginald Collin, then director of BAFTA, came to Los Angeles in 1984 for an event honoring Princess Anne, who was President of BAFTA at the time, he had been astonished at how many Brits were resident in Los Angeles. So Peter got in touch with Reg, who thought that starting BAFTA in Los Angeles was a great idea. "You can use the name and logo", he said. "Just make sure it doesn't cost BAFTA London anything." It never did.
Our first task was to create a Mission Statement, which became To celebrate and promote excellence in our craft...
We put together a list of local Brits and "Brit-friendlies" and the first meeting was held at Peter's then-company, Showscan. About sixty people showed up, and they became our Founder Members. Among them was the distinguished attorney Michael Oliver, whom we enlisted to make us official, register us as a charity, and help create the by-laws which form the basis of the Academy as we know it today. Peter became Chairman, Marion became President, and Michael was Secretary. We recruited the following to form the first Board:
Francesca Beale-Rosano, Shirley Craig, Marcelle Garfield, Pamela Godfrey, Sarah Lawson, Delphine Mann, Isabel Maxwell, Sara Romilly, Christopher Toyne.
Their contributions to the early days of the Academy were invaluable.
Our first task was to create a Mission Statement, which became: To celebrate and promote excellence in our craft.
BAFTAWe used our own money to fund the early meetings and events, and also received valuable practical support from Roger Meyer of MGM; Severin Ashkenazy of the Hermitage Hotel Group; Jim Goodwin of the Design Center, and Showscan Corporation, which provided secretarial and office support. The great Ronnie Neame (Pictured) was our first cash sponsor, with funds that allowed us to buy our very own computer; and later, Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli made a timely and very significant contribution.
Not all of our members were British. This was a time when many Americans who had been active in the British film industry through the sixties and mid-seventies had returned to the United States because the British film industry was in the dumps; in addition, a lot of Brits had been invited to Hollywood to contribute their talents. If a potential member had made a significant contribution to the British film industry, they qualified for membership, regardless of nationality.
The initial reaction to BAFTA Los Angeles from the Hollywood community was somewhat luke-warm. Our very first events came from our personal contacts (and mainly from Marion's client list!), and we focused on British films and British talent. To encourage the social aspect, Peter's wife Francesca, together with Delphine Mann, served as our Catering Committee. For the first four years they cooked and often paid for all the refreshments for our events, so much so that our nickname became "The British Academy of Food and Drink"!
BAFTA Los AngelesWe did get considerable support from the British Consulate, and it was Consul-General Donald Ballentyne and his wife Liz who first allowed us to use The Residence for our Garden Party. It was also Don who requested that we assist with the visit to Los Angeles of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, who were on their honeymoon. For this event, Arnold Schwartzman, along with AMPAS, created an amazing display of film posters of Academy Award © winners, and for the first time we realized that, over the years, a significant number of Academy Awards had gone to Brits.
We were told that the star-studded luncheon that we put together, (and which we personally had to financially guarantee), for the Prince and Princess at Le Bel Age Hotel was one of the most exciting and elegant that Hollywood could remember, and it became the forerunner of the Britannia Awards event, now one of the highlights of the Hollywood calendar.
BAFTA Los Angeles/Adrian CarrWe continued to focus on screenings of UK films, some of them undistributed in the US. In fact, it was the BAFTA Los Angeles screening of MY LEFT FOOT that led to it obtaining US distribution. This was a a screening which really put us on the map. Hollywood began to notice. They also began to realize that the BAFTA Awards served as a sort of forecast for the Academy Awards, which led to Pamela Godfrey arranging for our members to receive screening invitations, and later, DVDs, of eligible films, and ultimately to vote in the BAFTA Awards.
From the beginning, BAFTA Los Angeles has been run by a volunteer Board and a series of Committees, who serve with amazing dedication and devotion. We now have a permanent staff of five, led by Executive Director Donald Haber, who support the Board and put on over a hundred screenings and events each year. From the very beginning we required strong fiscal responsibility from the Board, much aided by Don's budgeting process, which has allowed the Academy to maintain a sound financial basis, with cash in the bank.
BAFTA Los AngelesOne of our first initiatives to "give back" was the creation of a scholarship, initially funded by Severin Ashkenazy, to help UK film students continue their studies at UCLA. We also started to record our pioneering Q and A sessions after screenings, leading to what has become an important archive. BAFTA Los Angeles' commitment to the community at large is spearheaded by its much-lauded Community Education and Outreach Program, led by Katy Haber and Paul Heller.
We were very proud when we were told by one of our Consuls General that BAFTA Los Angeles was considered by the British Foreign Office to be one of the most important British cultural institutions outside of the British Isles. This success was also noted by BAFTA in London, and last year we completed the major initiative of merging BAFTA Los Angeles with BAFTA in London, and all its branches, to create "One BAFTA", enjoying the benefits of international sponsorship and joint events.
As co-founders, we are more than happy with the continued success of BAFTA Los Angeles. We are grateful to everyone who has followed us in contributing to this success, including all the Officers and Board members over these twenty-five years. We thank them all for remaining true to our initial vision: To celebrate and promote excellence in our craft.

That image is disturbing =.=
I believe that they were actually experiencing time-skip to the future, and Hades is the future Akira. There are some clue regarding Akira and Hades similarity, one of them is Hades seems had experiencing everything Akira cs does, and their shoes look pretty similar to me. Maybe in Hades timeline, Akira lost all of his friends, thus made him mad.
In the latest chapter, Rion confirm my speculation by hinting the anagram in the name of the island : Raika. Hades probably name the island himself with the anagram of his previous name, Akira, as her mother love to play anagram and code. what do you guys think?
It would be so fucked up if Akira was Hades.
Not in the bad way though.
That is the most original theory that I have ever seen for Cage of Eden. It's really out of the world and mindblowing, but then and again nothing is impossible. Time skip is almost confirmed now, but Hades being Akira is out of the question for me. That's because he caused Kouhei Arita to murder everyone, which is not something Akira can do ever, even if he's got mad after losing all his previous friends. Then and again, Arita was following Hades back in the center of the island monument arc...... does Arita know something that we don't?
I actually think that the person watching them is Hades.
Also, another monster seems to be coming soon. And there's some organism that is on Rion's shoes now. Finally back to the creepy Cage of Eden that has disappeared for a few dozen bunch of chapters.
Its the symbiote in the latest chapter
There are only two types of people in this world; sadist and masochists!
It's been a while since an update
Ending in 3 chapters...
I really hope it's a planned ending, because I don't know if I can handle more of my favorite manga being canceled..
Cage of Eden ending is really disappointing but i figured it'd be ending soon considering what they recently found.
Catching up on my Anime.
Ever since they beat the Chimeras & Nishikiori, the series felt like it was coming to a close since they knew how to deal with nearly every creature on the island, and all there was left to do was find out the truth about their situation.
As of chapter 182...
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
..it's been "confirmed" that they're in the future, and that Akira's mom is connected to the island in some way.
3 chapters from the end? aw lol, anyway i'm looking forward to how they are going to end this... i don't how how they could do it in a good way in only 3 chapters
I just started reading this like 3 days ago. Its so Awesome
EDIT: I JUST CAUGHT UP WITH THE MANGA. >.< I think 3 chapters is not enough to explain all the un-answered questions.
Trying to enjoy life
I think that this manga is heading towards a rushed ending. Admittedly, it started off very well and was pretty much one of my favourite manga somewhere in the middle but I think towards the end of the Nishikiori arc I couldn't help but feel that Cage of Eden was letting me down. They started to drag out the chapters, delaying the inevitable time where they were supposed to reveal the answers, especially with the sickness and stuff. I can't see a good ending happening for this manga unless there is something ridiculous thing that brings them back into their time, but of course going into the future was ridiculous in the first place.
What I'm pretty irritated about, however, is the fact that there will be no closure to Arita Kouhei and Hades if it does indeed end in 2 more chapters. Kouhei should have stayed dead, and they shouldn't have prolonged Nishikiori's arc (thank god he is dead) but rather focus on Hades become the ultimate antagonist or something like that. Now, it seems that it is axed and most likely we will never have the answers for that.
185 is out on mangastream, that ending... left quite a few things unanswered, for example, WHY DID they get send into the future in the first place, and what BY?! i'm sure i'm not the only one unsatisfied by this ending..
I am so angry at this ending , so much unanswered question like what about Hades and Kouhei Arita ?
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
WTF the future comeon !?
I was kinda dissapointed with the ending. >_>

Defender of the Crown - локализованная фирмой "1С" версия знаменитой стратегической игры.
Defender of the Crown от компаний Blackstar и Cinemaware - римейк культовой Defender of the Crown, игры, которая впервые появилась в 1986 году на Amiga и по праву может называться одним из родоначальников жанра стратегий. Defender of the Crown была выпущена на различных платформах и разошлась по всему миру тиражом более миллиона экземпляров. Этот хит по праву вошел в "зал славы" компьютерных игр на ряду с "Тетрисом" и Packman и теперь обрел второе рождение в новом, современном облике.
Defender of the Crown перенесет вас в эпоху благородных рыцарей и прекрасных леди. Законный король убит, в Англии начинается гражданская война. Отважные саксы выбирают вас своим предводителем. Вам предстоит участвовать в рыцарских турнирах, осаждать замки и совершать набеги на вражеские поселения, чтобы мир и спокойствие вновь воцарились в истощенной войной Англии. Все ваши навыки и умения подвергнутся тщательной проверке, но наградой за суровые испытания может стать королевский престол и любовь самой красивой англичанки!
На диске с игрой помимо современной версии также будет находиться оригинальная версия образца 1986-88 годов для Amiga, Amstrad, Commodore 64, IIGS и PC.

The Dark Ages marked the beginning of the struggle for dominion of England. Metro 3D gives you the chance to take the throne in Cinemaware's classic strategy game Defender of the Crown.
Long Live the King
The king has passed away without an heir and a new ruler must be chosen to lead England out of a state of turmoil. Players must assume the role as leader of one of five different legions in a bid to rule the kingdom. To prove your worth, you must conquer all of England, one territory at a time.
Micro Medieval Management
Featuring turn-based strategic combat (think Risk), Defender of the Crown allows you to manage nearly every facet of your troops and supplies. Money is allotted based on the number of territories held at the end of each turn. Your funds must be spent wisely on soldiers, weaponry and large-scale assaults.
Be warned, though. The four computer-controlled factions will do anything in their power to assure that you never see the throne.
Jousting, Raiding & Rescuing...Oh, My!
Between turns, armies can engage in jousting tournaments for political and monetary gain. The actual jousting takes place from a first-person perspective with your character at the pommel of a mighty steed. Careful timing and aiming of your jousting lance will mean the difference between sweet victory and agonizing defeat. Even if you fall from your mount, you can still fight in hand-to-hand combat until a winner is decided.
If tournaments aren't for you, try your gauntleted hand at other fun tasks between turns. Nothing passes the time quite like laying siege to a castle or rescuing a fair damsel in distress. Keep in mind that any secondary quests you undertake ultimately affect your leadership abilities and funding.
The Perfect Mix of Brains & Brawn
Defender of the Crown plays like a veritable cornucopia of action sequences and strategic posturing. Both skills are required to prove your worth as ruler of all England. Are you up to the task?

Funny story: My Marauder is sometimes mistaken for an unmarked police car. One time when I went into a Dunkin' Donuts, the guy behind the counter wanted to give me my donuts and coffee free because he thought I was a cop living up to the stereotype of cops loving donuts! I guess it didn't help me any that I was wearing black slacks and a black nylon windbreaker at the time, so I guess I did sort of look like a plainclothes cop.
For 2003, Mercury resurrected the Marauder as a tweaked and massaged version of the Grand Marquis sedan. This isn't the first time that a recipe calling for a big engine, fat wheels and black paint has revived interest in a relatively staid and conservative box-on-wheels. Anyone remember the 1994-96 Chevrolet Impala SS? The new Marauder caters to the same crowd of aging, "buy American," muscle-car aficionados as the Impala, and should easily perform the task of raising Mercury's brand awareness as the marque struggles to remake itself. Body Styles, Trim Levels and Options: The 2003 Marauder comes just one way: fully-loaded and painted jet black. The options list is limited to a moonroof, a trunk organizer and a six-disc CD changer.
Driving Impressions/Opinions: The Marauder is a car with a lot to offer. Enthusiasts with families, who're seeking to have their cake and eat it, too, will no doubt appreciate the king-sized sedan's emphasis on both thrills and utility. Fast, handsome and practical, to boot, the Marauder is a ride that's clearly designed to be more than just a one-trick pony.
Powertrains and Performance: The Marauder is powered by an all-aluminum DOHC 4.6-liter V8 making 300 horsepower 5,750 rpm and 310 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,250 rpm. It breathes through a true dual exhaust system with chrome-plated pipes. A four-speed automatic transmission with a high-stall speed torque converter drives the rear wheels through a 3.55 rear axle with limited-slip differential. Massive 18-inch five-spoke wheels are shod with sticky BFGoodrich g-Force T/A tires (P235/50ZR18 in front and P245/55ZR18 in back).
Safety: With its basis on the Grand Marquis, the 4,165-pound Marauder is large and heavy. Federal crash testing of the Grand Marquis has resulted in a five-star rating for frontal impacts and four-star ratings for side impacts. The 2003 Marauder comes standard with four-wheel disc antilock brakes with electronic brake force distribution and panic assist (which applies the brakes full-force when a panic stop is detected). Also standard is the Personal Safety System (advanced restraint and airbag systems) and seat-mounted side airbags.
Interior Design and Special Features: Inside, enthusiast drivers will appreciate the white-faced displays, which include a 140-mph speedometer, 7,000-rpm tachometer and full instrumentation with temperature, oil and voltage gauges. Bright trim replaces the fake wood found in the Grand Marquis, adding a touch of attitude. A floor shifter juts out of the center console for a sporty feel, while the five seating positions are upholstered in leather with the winged god Mercury's head embossed in the seatbacks. "Marauder" is embroidered into the floor mats to remind the driver this is a special car.
The Marauder is basically "One Size Fits All". I don't think there were really any stand-alone options, but I could be wrong. I got mine used.

text: 1 Linux kernel release 3.x <http://kernel.org/> 2 3These are the release notes for Linux version 3. Read them carefully, 4as they tell you what this is all about, explain how to install the 5kernel, and what to do if something goes wrong. 6 7WHAT IS LINUX? 8 9 Linux is a clone of the operating system Unix, written from scratch by 10 Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across 11 the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance. 12 13 It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix, 14 including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand 15 loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, 16 and multistack networking including IPv4 and IPv6. 17 18 It is distributed under the GNU General Public License - see the 19 accompanying COPYING file for more details. 20 21ON WHAT HARDWARE DOES IT RUN? 22 23 Although originally developed first for 32-bit x86-based PCs (386 or higher), 24 today Linux also runs on (at least) the Compaq Alpha AXP, Sun SPARC and 25 UltraSPARC, Motorola 68000, PowerPC, PowerPC64, ARM, Hitachi SuperH, Cell, 26 IBM S/390, MIPS, HP PA-RISC, Intel IA-64, DEC VAX, AMD x86-64, AXIS CRIS, 27 Xtensa, Tilera TILE, AVR32 and Renesas M32R architectures. 28 29 Linux is easily portable to most general-purpose 32- or 64-bit architectures 30 as long as they have a paged memory management unit (PMMU) and a port of the 31 GNU C compiler (gcc) (part of The GNU Compiler Collection, GCC). Linux has 32 also been ported to a number of architectures without a PMMU, although 33 functionality is then obviously somewhat limited. 34 Linux has also been ported to itself. You can now run the kernel as a 35 userspace application - this is called UserMode Linux (UML). 36 37DOCUMENTATION: 38 39 - There is a lot of documentation available both in electronic form on 40 the Internet and in books, both Linux-specific and pertaining to 41 general UNIX questions. I'd recommend looking into the documentation 42 subdirectories on any Linux FTP site for the LDP (Linux Documentation 43 Project) books. This README is not meant to be documentation on the 44 system: there are much better sources available. 45 46 - There are various README files in the Documentation/ subdirectory: 47 these typically contain kernel-specific installation notes for some 48 drivers for example. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what 49 is contained in each file. Please read the Changes file, as it 50 contains information about the problems, which may result by upgrading 51 your kernel. 52 53 - The Documentation/DocBook/ subdirectory contains several guides for 54 kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a 55 number of formats: PostScript (.ps), PDF, HTML, & man-pages, among others. 56 After installation, "make psdocs", "make pdfdocs", "make htmldocs", 57 or "make mandocs" will render the documentation in the requested format. 58 59INSTALLING the kernel source: 60 61 - If you install the full sources, put the kernel tarball in a 62 directory where you have permissions (eg. your home directory) and 63 unpack it: 64 65 gzip -cd linux-3.X.tar.gz | tar xvf - 66 67 or 68 69 bzip2 -dc linux-3.X.tar.bz2 | tar xvf - 70 71 Replace "X" with the version number of the latest kernel. 72 73 Do NOT use the /usr/src/linux area! This area has a (usually 74 incomplete) set of kernel headers that are used by the library header 75 files. They should match the library, and not get messed up by 76 whatever the kernel-du-jour happens to be. 77 78 - You can also upgrade between 3.x releases by patching. Patches are 79 distributed in the traditional gzip and the newer bzip2 format. To 80 install by patching, get all the newer patch files, enter the 81 top level directory of the kernel source (linux-3.X) and execute: 82 83 gzip -cd ../patch-3.x.gz | patch -p1 84 85 or 86 87 bzip2 -dc ../patch-3.x.bz2 | patch -p1 88 89 Replace "x" for all versions bigger than the version "X" of your current 90 source tree, _in_order_, and you should be ok. You may want to remove 91 the backup files (some-file-name~ or some-file-name.orig), and make sure 92 that there are no failed patches (some-file-name# or some-file-name.rej). 93 If there are, either you or I have made a mistake. 94 95 Unlike patches for the 3.x kernels, patches for the 3.x.y kernels 96 (also known as the -stable kernels) are not incremental but instead apply 97 directly to the base 3.x kernel. For example, if your base kernel is 3.0 98 and you want to apply the 3.0.3 patch, you must not first apply the 3.0.1 99 and 3.0.2 patches. Similarly, if you are running kernel version 3.0.2 and 100 want to jump to 3.0.3, you must first reverse the 3.0.2 patch (that is, 101 patch -R) _before_ applying the 3.0.3 patch. You can read more on this in 102 Documentation/applying-patches.txt 103 104 Alternatively, the script patch-kernel can be used to automate this 105 process. It determines the current kernel version and applies any 106 patches found. 107 108 linux/scripts/patch-kernel linux 109 110 The first argument in the command above is the location of the 111 kernel source. Patches are applied from the current directory, but 112 an alternative directory can be specified as the second argument. 113 114 - Make sure you have no stale .o files and dependencies lying around: 115 116 cd linux 117 make mrproper 118 119 You should now have the sources correctly installed. 120 121SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS 122 123 Compiling and running the 3.x kernels requires up-to-date 124 versions of various software packages. Consult 125 Documentation/Changes for the minimum version numbers required 126 and how to get updates for these packages. Beware that using 127 excessively old versions of these packages can cause indirect 128 errors that are very difficult to track down, so don't assume that 129 you can just update packages when obvious problems arise during 130 build or operation. 131 132BUILD directory for the kernel: 133 134 When compiling the kernel, all output files will per default be 135 stored together with the kernel source code. 136 Using the option "make O=output/dir" allow you to specify an alternate 137 place for the output files (including .config). 138 Example: 139 140 kernel source code: /usr/src/linux-3.X 141 build directory: /home/name/build/kernel 142 143 To configure and build the kernel, use: 144 145 cd /usr/src/linux-3.X 146 make O=/home/name/build/kernel menuconfig 147 make O=/home/name/build/kernel 148 sudo make O=/home/name/build/kernel modules_install install 149 150 Please note: If the 'O=output/dir' option is used, then it must be 151 used for all invocations of make. 152 153CONFIGURING the kernel: 154 155 Do not skip this step even if you are only upgrading one minor 156 version. New configuration options are added in each release, and 157 odd problems will turn up if the configuration files are not set up 158 as expected. If you want to carry your existing configuration to a 159 new version with minimal work, use "make oldconfig", which will 160 only ask you for the answers to new questions. 161 162 - Alternative configuration commands are: 163 164 "make config" Plain text interface. 165 166 "make menuconfig" Text based color menus, radiolists & dialogs. 167 168 "make nconfig" Enhanced text based color menus. 169 170 "make xconfig" X windows (Qt) based configuration tool. 171 172 "make gconfig" X windows (Gtk) based configuration tool. 173 174 "make oldconfig" Default all questions based on the contents of 175 your existing ./.config file and asking about 176 new config symbols. 177 178 "make silentoldconfig" 179 Like above, but avoids cluttering the screen 180 with questions already answered. 181 Additionally updates the dependencies. 182 183 "make defconfig" Create a ./.config file by using the default 184 symbol values from either arch/$ARCH/defconfig 185 or arch/$ARCH/configs/${PLATFORM}_defconfig, 186 depending on the architecture. 187 188 "make ${PLATFORM}_defconfig" 189 Create a ./.config file by using the default 190 symbol values from 191 arch/$ARCH/configs/${PLATFORM}_defconfig. 192 Use "make help" to get a list of all available 193 platforms of your architecture. 194 195 "make allyesconfig" 196 Create a ./.config file by setting symbol 197 values to 'y' as much as possible. 198 199 "make allmodconfig" 200 Create a ./.config file by setting symbol 201 values to 'm' as much as possible. 202 203 "make allnoconfig" Create a ./.config file by setting symbol 204 values to 'n' as much as possible. 205 206 "make randconfig" Create a ./.config file by setting symbol 207 values to random values. 208 209 You can find more information on using the Linux kernel config tools 210 in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig.txt. 211 212 - NOTES on "make config": 213 214 - Having unnecessary drivers will make the kernel bigger, and can 215 under some circumstances lead to problems: probing for a 216 nonexistent controller card may confuse your other controllers 217 218 - Compiling the kernel with "Processor type" set higher than 386 219 will result in a kernel that does NOT work on a 386. The 220 kernel will detect this on bootup, and give up. 221 222 - A kernel with math-emulation compiled in will still use the 223 coprocessor if one is present: the math emulation will just 224 never get used in that case. The kernel will be slightly larger, 225 but will work on different machines regardless of whether they 226 have a math coprocessor or not. 227 228 - The "kernel hacking" configuration details usually result in a 229 bigger or slower kernel (or both), and can even make the kernel 230 less stable by configuring some routines to actively try to 231 break bad code to find kernel problems (kmalloc()). Thus you 232 should probably answer 'n' to the questions for "development", 233 "experimental", or "debugging" features. 234 235COMPILING the kernel: 236 237 - Make sure you have at least gcc 3.2 available. 238 For more information, refer to Documentation/Changes. 239 240 Please note that you can still run a.out user programs with this kernel. 241 242 - Do a "make" to create a compressed kernel image. It is also 243 possible to do "make install" if you have lilo installed to suit the 244 kernel makefiles, but you may want to check your particular lilo setup first. 245 246 To do the actual install, you have to be root, but none of the normal 247 build should require that. Don't take the name of root in vain. 248 249 - If you configured any of the parts of the kernel as `modules', you 250 will also have to do "make modules_install". 251 252 - Verbose kernel compile/build output: 253 254 Normally, the kernel build system runs in a fairly quiet mode (but not 255 totally silent). However, sometimes you or other kernel developers need 256 to see compile, link, or other commands exactly as they are executed. 257 For this, use "verbose" build mode. This is done by inserting 258 "V=1" in the "make" command. E.g.: 259 260 make V=1 all 261 262 To have the build system also tell the reason for the rebuild of each 263 target, use "V=2". The default is "V=0". 264 265 - Keep a backup kernel handy in case something goes wrong. This is 266 especially true for the development releases, since each new release 267 contains new code which has not been debugged. Make sure you keep a 268 backup of the modules corresponding to that kernel, as well. If you 269 are installing a new kernel with the same version number as your 270 working kernel, make a backup of your modules directory before you 271 do a "make modules_install". 272 273 Alternatively, before compiling, use the kernel config option 274 "LOCALVERSION" to append a unique suffix to the regular kernel version. 275 LOCALVERSION can be set in the "General Setup" menu. 276 277 - In order to boot your new kernel, you'll need to copy the kernel 278 image (e.g. .../linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage after compilation) 279 to the place where your regular bootable kernel is found. 280 281 - Booting a kernel directly from a floppy without the assistance of a 282 bootloader such as LILO, is no longer supported. 283 284 If you boot Linux from the hard drive, chances are you use LILO, which 285 uses the kernel image as specified in the file /etc/lilo.conf. The 286 kernel image file is usually /vmlinuz, /boot/vmlinuz, /bzImage or 287 /boot/bzImage. To use the new kernel, save a copy of the old image 288 and copy the new image over the old one. Then, you MUST RERUN LILO 289 to update the loading map!! If you don't, you won't be able to boot 290 the new kernel image. 291 292 Reinstalling LILO is usually a matter of running /sbin/lilo. 293 You may wish to edit /etc/lilo.conf to specify an entry for your 294 old kernel image (say, /vmlinux.old) in case the new one does not 295 work. See the LILO docs for more information. 296 297 After reinstalling LILO, you should be all set. Shutdown the system, 298 reboot, and enjoy! 299 300 If you ever need to change the default root device, video mode, 301 ramdisk size, etc. in the kernel image, use the 'rdev' program (or 302 alternatively the LILO boot options when appropriate). No need to 303 recompile the kernel to change these parameters. 304 305 - Reboot with the new kernel and enjoy. 306 307IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG: 308 309 - If you have problems that seem to be due to kernel bugs, please check 310 the file MAINTAINERS to see if there is a particular person associated 311 with the part of the kernel that you are having trouble with. If there 312 isn't anyone listed there, then the second best thing is to mail 313 them to me (firstname.lastname@example.com), and possibly to any other 314 relevant mailing-list or to the newsgroup. 315 316 - In all bug-reports, *please* tell what kernel you are talking about, 317 how to duplicate the problem, and what your setup is (use your common 318 sense). If the problem is new, tell me so, and if the problem is 319 old, please try to tell me when you first noticed it. 320 321 - If the bug results in a message like 322 323 unable to handle kernel paging request at address C0000010 324 Oops: 0002 325 EIP: 0010:XXXXXXXX 326 eax: xxxxxxxx ebx: xxxxxxxx ecx: xxxxxxxx edx: xxxxxxxx 327 esi: xxxxxxxx edi: xxxxxxxx ebp: xxxxxxxx 328 ds: xxxx es: xxxx fs: xxxx gs: xxxx 329 Pid: xx, process nr: xx 330 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx 331 332 or similar kernel debugging information on your screen or in your 333 system log, please duplicate it *exactly*. The dump may look 334 incomprehensible to you, but it does contain information that may 335 help debugging the problem. The text above the dump is also 336 important: it tells something about why the kernel dumped code (in 337 the above example, it's due to a bad kernel pointer). More information 338 on making sense of the dump is in Documentation/oops-tracing.txt 339 340 - If you compiled the kernel with CONFIG_KALLSYMS you can send the dump 341 as is, otherwise you will have to use the "ksymoops" program to make 342 sense of the dump (but compiling with CONFIG_KALLSYMS is usually preferred). 343 This utility can be downloaded from 344 ftp://ftp.<country>.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/ksymoops/ . 345 Alternatively, you can do the dump lookup by hand: 346 347 - In debugging dumps like the above, it helps enormously if you can 348 look up what the EIP value means. The hex value as such doesn't help 349 me or anybody else very much: it will depend on your particular 350 kernel setup. What you should do is take the hex value from the EIP 351 line (ignore the "0010:"), and look it up in the kernel namelist to 352 see which kernel function contains the offending address. 353 354 To find out the kernel function name, you'll need to find the system 355 binary associated with the kernel that exhibited the symptom. This is 356 the file 'linux/vmlinux'. To extract the namelist and match it against 357 the EIP from the kernel crash, do: 358 359 nm vmlinux | sort | less 360 361 This will give you a list of kernel addresses sorted in ascending 362 order, from which it is simple to find the function that contains the 363 offending address. Note that the address given by the kernel 364 debugging messages will not necessarily match exactly with the 365 function addresses (in fact, that is very unlikely), so you can't 366 just 'grep' the list: the list will, however, give you the starting 367 point of each kernel function, so by looking for the function that 368 has a starting address lower than the one you are searching for but 369 is followed by a function with a higher address you will find the one 370 you want. In fact, it may be a good idea to include a bit of 371 "context" in your problem report, giving a few lines around the 372 interesting one. 373 374 If you for some reason cannot do the above (you have a pre-compiled 375 kernel image or similar), telling me as much about your setup as 376 possible will help. Please read the REPORTING-BUGS document for details. 377 378 - Alternatively, you can use gdb on a running kernel. (read-only; i.e. you 379 cannot change values or set break points.) To do this, first compile the 380 kernel with -g; edit arch/i386/Makefile appropriately, then do a "make 381 clean". You'll also need to enable CONFIG_PROC_FS (via "make config"). 382 383 After you've rebooted with the new kernel, do "gdb vmlinux /proc/kcore". 384 You can now use all the usual gdb commands. The command to look up the 385 point where your system crashed is "l *0xXXXXXXXX". (Replace the XXXes 386 with the EIP value.) 387 388 gdb'ing a non-running kernel currently fails because gdb (wrongly) 389 disregards the starting offset for which the kernel is compiled. 390 391

The knee is a very important joint of your body as it takes the majority of the body weight when you are standing up, walking or running. However, there may be many things you do daily which have been slowly reducing the capacity of your knees or damaging them. Some of the tips mentioned below reduce the unnecessary stress on your knees and prevent knee pain.
- Get the correct shoes and change them regularly: The shoes that you wear regularly determine your posture and thus how well your weight is distributed. If you have the wrong shoes or they have been worn out or have uneven soles after prolonged use, then the resulting imbalance could hurt your knees and cause problems.
- Wear protection: You could face serious down time or limitations in movement, if you don't protect your knees while playing amateur sports or even during recreational sporting activities. Wear knee protection at all times if you think there is a risk of injury.
- Stretch before exercising: Always ensure your joints, especially your knee is warmed up so that it can take the impact shocks of exercises such as lifting weights or running. This will also help warm up your muscles and ensure an efficient, injury free work out.
- Lose weight: Excess weight over a prolonged period will make your knees weaker. Thus it is important to lose weight, without putting too much stress on the knees first so as to give them time to recover. Once your knees can take your weight without pain, you can go for heavier forms of exercise to enable even further weight loss.
- Swimming or walking: When running or heavy lifting seems to be taking a toll on your knees, then you can try to go for swimming and walking which will still be a good work outs without being too taxing on the knees.
- Try physical therapy or massages: You can take care of your knees with the help of massages and physical therapy. An injured tendon or cartilage tends to get injured regularly that can be corrected through physical therapy, yoga and massages.
In case you have a concern or query you can always consult an expert & get answers to your questions!
Y young people have back pain. Nd also weakness every day nd they have stress please give me a best advice to do hard work.
I working in a private firm had to sit 9-12 hours in the office.I have backache from last 6 months what to do and sometime I feel massive pain in my back just because of that could not even walk a single step.
I have uric acid 0.4 more than required. Due to which some times joint pains. How to control this. Is there any home remedy.
The various movements of the body are enabled by the way the bones work with each other and allow for various movements. You cannot perform a single movement without the coordination of the various joints and bones. It is also for the same reason that joint pains are so common. Accidents, sports injuries, play area injuries, and general ageing are some of the causes that can result in joint pain. There are definitely ways to treat them, but at the same time, preventing them also can be helpful. Read on to know some of the ways to prevent and manage joint pains.
Precautionary measure: For children, ensure they are playing under the supervision of an adult and are wearing sufficient protective gear in the form of helmets, wrist/elbow guards, etc. The same goes for athletes who are prone to injuries. It is always prudent to know your physical limits and not stretch your body constantly. This will go a long way in reducing injuries. Always keep a first-aid kit in your sports bag so that you can manage the pain at the earliest.
If prevention does not work, and injuries do happen, some of the ways to manage them are outlined below.
- Cryotherapy/ice therapy: By reducing the blood flow to the affected joint, ice helps in reducing the pain and swelling, which are usually the prominent symptoms of any joint injury. Using an ice pack for 15 to 20 minutes every hour is greatly useful in reducing the pain. This can be continued for the next few days until the pain stops. Avoid ice burns by not applying ice directly on the skin; instead, wrap it in a towel or a soft cotton cloth.
- Oil massages: Natural oils can be used to massage the affected joints which also greatly reduce pain. Oils which contain menthol or give a topical soothing effect are highly recommended. If you are unable to do it at home, seek professional help for the same.
- Hydrotherapy: Warm baths with salts added for extra benefit can provide soothing relief from joint pains. Try these before going to bed to also get good sleep.
- Herbal mixes: Tea bags and other herbal mixes can also be used to relieve joint pains. These may work for some and may not work for others. As these are external applications, you can give it a try.
- Immobilise the area: The affected joint should be immobilised completely or partially, depending on the extent of damage.
- Physiotherapy: While initially the joint needs to be rested, getting into a physical exercise routine with inputs from a physiotherapist is very essential to avoid long-term immobility.
- Medications: Non-steroidal pain killers are another proven method to manage joint pains. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a General Physician.

Bedbugs prove to be persistent pests in Manchester high risesBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 20. 2013 8:37PM
MANCHESTER — Frustrated over complaints he receives from tenants, a Manchester alderman who wrote the state's new bedbug law said he wants to review the strategy Manchester Housing and Redevelopment Authority has for dealing with the pests.
Residents at the O'Malley high rise in downtown Manchester say they have thrown away furniture and bedding, had their apartments treated and done everything expected of them, only to have the bedbugs return.
"I get bitten. My sheets are all bloody. I've got bedbug (feces) all over everything," said Timothy Callis, who lives on the fifth floor and said his apartment has been treated five times since January. "They've got to try something else."
Dick Dunfey, the executive director of the housing authority, said bedbugs have been a problem at the housing authority for years, as they have in other housing authorities as well as apartment complexes and hotels across the country.
Currently, the problem is worse at O'Malley and the Kalivas, the twin downtown high-rises that house the elderly and people with disabilities.
He said 17 room treatments have taken place at the 99-unit O'Malley high rise between January and June; 20 at Kalivas.
"It's impossible to prevent them from coming in, so there's no way to permanently eradicate bedbugs from any site. They don't obey signs prohibiting them," Dunfey said.
Dunfey said the housing authority employs a full-time pest-control technician. And it spent $119,600 in its last fiscal year on salaries and contractors to address bedbugs.
But to several O'Malley residents, something more needs to be done.
Pam Karalekas, who lives on the eighth floor, said her apartment has been treated 13 times in the last 1 1/2 years, when bedbugs started appearing. Every night, she runs her hand under her pillow case to check for the bugs.
She shows pillow cases stained with dots of blood.
"I'm not afraid of them anymore. I'm desensitized to them," she said. She's asked for chemical treatments, but the management has refused, she said. Meanwhile, she has to deal with a social stigma.
"People look at you like you have the plague," she said.
Dunfey said he can't speak about individual cases, but the most times any apartment at O'Malley has been treated is six times.
Manchester Alderman Pat Long said he's heard from six to eight people in the last eight months. Long, whose downtown Ward 3 includes the two high-rises, met with Dunfey last week and asked to review the housing authority's pest management plan.
"I'm not convinced they're doing the right type of (pest) management. Things seem to be getting worse," Long said. Long chaired the New Hampshire Bed Bug Action Committee, and he authored a bedbug law that goes into effect Jan. 1. It lays out responsibilities for landlords and tenants when it comes to eradicating bedbugs.
Long agreed with Dunfey that bedbugs are difficult to eliminate. That is why it is essential that the housing authority has a well thought-out control plan, Long said.
"You just don't go in there, spray and they're all gone," he said.
Residents say the most frequent treatment used is heat. The treatment involves heating an apartment between 120 and 140 degrees for several hours. Residents must prepare their apartments for the treatment, which involves protecting plasma televisions and removing aeresol spray cans. They also have to leave for the day.
Residents said they can wait a month for treatment after they complain about bedbugs. Dunfey said the average wait time is three weeks.
He said the housing authority has gone as far as ripping out walls to reach bedbug hiding places.
He said the housing authority can't afford the strategy used by Langdon Mills three years ago.
The owner, Manchester landlord and developer Dick Anagnost, relocated the 16 tenant families so the building could be treated for two weeks to eradicate bedbugs.
Meanwhile, social service agencies found new furniture for the tenants and educated them on how to prevent bedbugs.
Dunfey said he wouldn't be able to do such a massive relocation. And he can't prohibit tenants from bringing used furniture and clothing — one of the transmitters of bedbugs — into their apartment.
So for the time at least, the bedbugs have a home.
During a visit last week, Callis found a bedbug on the floor of a neighbor, Joe Field.
"It's just a losing battle," Field said. "You get so frustrated, so stressed out."

The Avon Police reported charging a Victor man, Dylan M. Chase, with third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a felony.
The Avon Police reported charging a Victor man, Dylan M. Chase, with third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a felony.
According to Livingston County Chief of Police Gary Benedict Jr., over the past few months law enforcement including Avon Police, Livingston County Sheriff's Office and state police received concerns from citizens about the suspect's position as the Livingston County SPCA officer.
Avon police said they became concerned when, on Aug 10, the Chase appeared at an annual event wearing a uniform and armed with a pistol and night stick. During an interview with police, Chase admitted that he did not have a New York State Pistol Permit and that he had not received any certified firearms/deadly physical force training from the Division of Criminal Justice Service.
According to a News 10 NBC report, the suspect had a 45-caliber semi-automatic pistol that he had displayed on a service belt he was wearing while at the Avon Corn Festival in August. The suspect could not lawfully carry a gun due to a felony forgery conviction from 2002, the report said. Several people at the festival, who are familiar with Chase, contacted police.
Police said an investigation revealed the suspect had filed paperwork to incorporate as an SPCA organization and to become a peace officer in New York. However, further investigation revealed that the suspect had been convicted of a felony in 2002, police said, which would preclude the suspect from possessing a firearm and becoming a peace officer in New York.
The suspect voluntarily surrendered his pistol and night stick to the Avon Police, and was arraigned in Avon Village Court and released on his own recognizance, police said. The suspect is to reappear in court Sept. 9.

TRUXTON, N.Y. -- A minivan carrying two families was hit by a runaway trailer hauling crushed cars in upstate New York, killing four young children and three adults in their early 20s, authorities said today.
TRUXTON, N.Y. -- A minivan carrying two families was hit by a runaway trailer hauling crushed cars in upstate New York, killing four young children and three adults in their early 20s, authorities said today.
Cortland County Coroner Whitney Meeker told The Associated Press that all seven victims, including four children under 10, were local residents. They were killed and a man was injured when their van was hit by a trailer that broke away from a truck on Route 13 around 6 p.m. yesterday in the rural town of Truxton, about 25 miles south of Syracuse.
The children were from two different families, including one from Truxton, Meeker said. The other family lived nearby, he said.
The accident claimed the lives of 26-year-old Teresa Bush and her two daughters, 4-year-old Alexis and Jasmine, 5. Also killed were 21-year-old Lena Beckwith; Carino Vanorden, 24; Alyssa Mead, 7; Tyler Mead, 4.
Shawn Mead, the father of the two Mead children, was transported to Upstate University Hospital where he was in good condition.
The relationships between Beckwith and Vanorden and the rest of the van's occupants were not immediately released.
Officials said the trailer disconnected from the rig and slammed into the van, ripping it apart. Both vehicles came to rest on the shoulder of the roadway.
Ken Stone, first assistant fire chief of Truxton, was one of about 20 firefighters who responded. He said the van's driver saw the trailer coming and drove off the road trying to avoid it.
"They tried to miss it, but he ran out of time," said Stone. "All of a sudden, a trailer is coming at you and there's no truck on it.
"Tore it right apart," he said. "It was humbling, especially young kids. It tears you up."
Stone said a couple of victims were under the trailer, which had to be jacked up to get them out.
"It was all instant, no doubt," he said.
Family members gathered this morning at a farmhouse about a mile from the accident site. Adults were in groups talking while children bounced on a trampoline. A woman who met reporters asked for privacy and said the family would talk when they are ready.
A person who answered the phone at Vanorden's declined to comment.
Sheriff's Capt. Mark Helms said two people in the truck were not injured. The cause of the accident was still being investigated.
Stone said responders were deeply affected by the crash.
"My god! What did we just go through?" he said of the firefighters' reaction. "What did we just see? Did that just really happen?"
"You get all that training and you're not ready for it," he said. "You can't be if you're human."
The crash occurred along a stretch of the two-lane road in rural Truxton, a town of 1,100 located a few miles northeast of the city of Cortland. Route 13 remained closed until 1:20 a.m. Thursday as police investigated the crash and crews removed wreckage from the scene.
"It's the worst thing I've ever seen. It's just a horrible thing. It gives me goosebumps," said Ann Maxson, 74, a lifelong Truxton resident. "It's a close-knit community. Everybody cares for everybody."
A sign along Route 13 near the town line reads: "Please drive safely. We (heart) our children."

BRUSSELS (AP) — Former Norwegian Premier Jens Stoltenberg will take over as NATO chief starting in October, the second Scandinavian in a row to lead the military alliance.
Friday's announcement comes at a critical time as the crisis over Ukraine and Crimean Peninsula has suddenly made the 28-nation alliance a more important security force in Europe.
Stoltenberg called the crisis with Russia over Ukraine "a brutal reminder of how important NATO is."
"I want to express my support that NATO does not accept the changing of borders by force within Europe," he said in Oslo. "NATO has once again proven its relevance."
NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who took up the role in 2009, will step down after a NATO summit in Wales later this year.
"Warm congratulations," the Dane said in a Twitter message Friday to his fellow Scandinavian politician, who was confirmed during a meeting of NATO's council of ambassadors.
The top military job at the alliance, now held by Gen. Philip Breedlove, is traditionally a position for an American.
In Washington, the White House welcomed Stoltenberg's appointment, praising him as a "proven leader with a demonstrated commitment to the trans-Atlantic alliance."
Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg, who replaced Stoltenberg as prime minister last year, said the alliance was getting "a strong and unifying secretary general."
A two-time prime minister, Stoltenberg became a recognizable face on the international scene with his dignified response to the twin terror attacks that killed 77 people in Norway in July 2011.
Despite his and Norway's dovish reputation, Stoltenberg pushed through an increase in military spending throughout his second spell as prime minister between 2005 and 2013.
And he has always been a staunch NATO ally. He endorsed President George W. Bush's war on terror after the Sept. 11, 2011 terror attacks in the U.S., and backed the decision to send troops into Afghanistan where they remained throughout his leadership.
He also backed the alliance's bombing campaign over Libya that helped oust Moammar Gadhafi in 2011.

Horsing around: Manchester students name police horseBy PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 18. 2013 9:11PM
MANCHESTER — Nerves might have gotten the best of The General, the police horse formerly known as Clyde, or maybe it was just nature taking its course, but when a class of fourth-graders came out for his debut at Smyth Road School Tuesday it wasn't the smell of roses in the air.
"Eww!" shrieked the children, some holding their noses.
"It smells like flowers, doesn't it?" asked Officer Scott Tardiff of the Manchester Police Department's Mounted Unit.
"Noooooooo," the children said in unison.
"The kids love that. It's always a crowd pleaser," laughed Lt. Maureen Tessier.
A shovel and a bucket took care of the horse manure and the "ewws" from the fourth-grade students in Mrs. Joleen Stephens' class quickly went to cheers when police Chief David Mara told them they won the contest to rename Clyde, the department's newly acquired 7-year-old gelding.
The horse, a mix of Shire and Clydesdale (hence the name Clyde), will now be known as Gen. John Stark or The General for short, the fourth-graders' winning entry.
The police department held a citywide contest giving children in kindergarten through fifth grade a chance at renaming the horse. Herlicka Financial Group, LLC purchased the naming rights for $2,500 and then turned them over to the city's school children.
Dave Herlicka and Jeff Mayer of Herlicka Financial also attended the event and were presented with a plaque. The $2,500 is used to feed and care for the horse which, along with Valor, a 12-year-old gelding, is boarded at the Sununu Youth Services Center.
Mara told the children it took a little longer than usual to select a winner because the first horse, named Jerry, didn't work out.
He didn't tell them that the young excitable horse threw a rider in Veterans Park, was pink slipped and sold to a family in Ohio where he is now a pulling horse.
Clyde, previously a field horse in Vermont, was leased with an option to buy for $3,800, according to Tessier. He passed a 30-day trial period last week.
Mara shook hands with the children as he presented each with a certificate. They were then allowed to get up close and personal with The General, who stood quietly as the children gathered around and petted him.
Valor, who was tethered to the horse trailer, got his share of attention from the children as well.
Tardiff said The General eats 30 pounds of hay a day and a couple of cups of grain. His favorite food is grass, however, and when he is especially good he is treated with a carrot or apple. And, because he is on pavement a lot, he goes through shoes every six weeks.
Tessier said the horse has a wonderful temperament and the only thing he has disliked so far is having his teeth taken care of and new shoes nailed on.
The fourth-graders came up with the name while studying New Hampshire history.
Peyton Sanuth, who scored an A+ on the history test, said the class agreed on the name after learning about Gen. Stark, a Revolutionary War hero from Manchester.
A statue of Stark riding a horse is featured in a North End park named for him.
After the visit with the school children, The General and Valor were put back into their horse trailer and headed, where else, but to Stark Park where The General was to pose for photographs next to his namesake's statue.

First chapter of UQ Holder is out now and it is indeed a sequel to Negima.
While it doesn't answer the ultimate question of who Negi married, he clearly did indeed get married and have kids, who then married to produce our new main character.
Kid has one heck of a magical linage I'll give him that.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Grandfather on side A = Negi Springfield
Grandmother on Side B = Konoka Konoe
and best of all Adoptive mom/teacher = Evangeline A.K Macdowell
Looks like the new series will be going full on Action route instead of love comedy harem.
I'm liking it so far.
Eva looks gorgeous as always and I'm curious to see if any of the other characters that will be showing up are connected to the Negima cast.
As fun as the Harem stuff in Negima was, I always liked the action parts better, looking forward to seeing what happens when "battle fantasy" becomes the focus of Akamatsu's work
avoiding doing any work today
First chapter!

*link removed.. you should know the site rules don't allow this* ~edited by Csgod0
Now that's a familiar face!
Interesting so far. The MC is pretty hotheaded although determined. I feel sorry for his parents though since they passed away.
Yukihime is pretty OP though based on the results of that fight lol. Quite an interesting chapter we get to see the revelation of Yukihime's character after that fight. I like the mood, style, and artwork of this series so definitely following to see what direction it's heading towards to.
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
I smiled & cried while reading the chapter. Man, It's good to see one of my favorite characters of Negima in this new series. I look forward to seeing more from this series.
I love you Miichan, Takamina, Sasshi & Nako! (^_^)/
Now I can't die yet!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have nothing to say!!!
I have to say that for a sequel to a very popular manga, this managed to be a good first chapter. I actually want more...so hopefully the scan group can keep it going
O.O I was about to re-read Negima, but I saw this new manga. It caught my attention, THEN Eva introduced herself and I was like NO FREAKING WAY !
Bought This Love It !
here is an interesting thought
how many Greats were there separating Chao Lingshen from Negi?
Will Touta be encountering any cute Chinese girls around his age?
avoiding doing any work today
Created an account just to say this... What I'm really interested is in how she got that grown-up body, and how much time has passed since the beginning of the Terra forming on Mars. I'm guessing that it is her real body cause she doesn't look anything like the illusion she used to wear/show in front of Negi. Really happy for the new series. Just finished rereading Negima 2 weeks ago and now this.
I think the raws are out for chapter 2 so I can't wait until It's translated.
well well well...I guess if you are moving your time line forward there is no harm in mixing more than one series worth of descendants into the pot

also Eva loli mode confirmed

2nd chapter was good. I like this so far!
Touta is definitely a little atypical compared to most Shonen heroes.
"I don't care about getting stronger. My dream is a bit bigger than that."
ok that attitude will probably only last until a bad guy shows up who needs a good ass kicking but it's refreshing to see as a starting point in his personality.
Thinking the kid takes after the Thousand Master more than he does Negi
avoiding doing any work today
I kinda like that new girl tbh. I wonder what sort of important role she will play later on.
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
i like the new manga, but i think Negi still alive because he was turn into a vampire in the last manga.
no game no life
I didn't read the first manga or how many other there were, but this manga so far is awesome. Looks very promising.

Blood pressure
I have had high blood pressure for 2 years. I`m 46 now and am taking medication for it. I got this sudden massive headache around my one eye. My eye was watering prior to the headache. I took my blood pressure and it`s 102/53 which is very low for me. Also I forgot to take my medication today. Should I treat these signs as a possible stroke?
If you are ever in doubt about the possibility of stroke, it is important to get medically evaluated. By this, I mean that you should probably call 911 and be urgently evaluated if you have any suspicion.
It is likely that you have not had a stroke, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Your symptoms sound very much like a cluster headache. I hope that they have passed by the time you read this. I would advise that you call your doctor immediately, and consider being seen by a neurologist.

Featured News - Current News - Archived News - News Categories
(readMedia) Gov. Andrew Cuomo has proclaimed September "Assisted Living Month" in recognition of the more than two million New Yorkers who will need some form of long-term care by 2015.
The National Census Bureau estimates by 2050 the number of Americans aged 65 and older will be 88.5 million - more than double the current population. In New York, the most rapid population growth in the last decade has occurred among the oldest and frailest population groups.
"Assisted Living Month presents a unique opportunity for all aging New Yorkers and their families to discuss their future long-term care needs and consider assisted living as a desirable option," said Lisa Newcomb, Empire State Association of Assisted Living executive director. "For those no longer able to live alone, licensed assisted living is a viable alternative, offering them not only assistance with daily living, but many occasions for socialization and activity. Furthermore, at less than one-half of the cost of a nursing home, assisted living is a safe, cost-effective community-based option."
New York has three types of licensed residences: adult homes, enriched housing programs and assisted living residences. While accommodations vary among residences, each offers a home-like atmosphere and is dedicated to preserving the dignity and independence of residents. Some residences are licensed to provide "age in place" programs, allowing seniors to remain in their current assisted living setting even as they begin to require more specialized care. One of these programs, the assisted living program, enables seniors to utilize Medicaid for assisted living expenses.
"Today, access to quality, affordable long-term care is a necessity," Newcomb said. "I urge seniors and their families who are unfamiliar with assisted living to contact and visit a local licensed residence during Assisted Living Month."

Key Facts
Common Name
Scientific name
Genus: Odobenus
Population size
Atlantic ~18,000, Pacific ~200,000 & Laptev ~5,000
Data deficient; CITES appendix III
There are 3 sub-species of walrus: the Pacific walrus (Odobenus rosmarus divergens), the Atlantic walrus (Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus) and the Laptev walrus (Odobensus rosmarus laptevi), although the taxonomic status of the latter is uncertain.
Physical Description
The walrus is a pinniped, or fin-footed mammal, and is related to seals and sea lions. Their skin is a dark brown and is covered by a thin layer of small coarse hairs.
Their most remarkable features are the long tusks which are surrounded by a mat of stiff bristles. The tusks are used for keeping breathing holes in the ice open, for fighting and for helping the walruses haul themselves out of the water on to an ice floe.
The largest sub-species is the Pacific walrus, which can weigh up to 2,000kg.
Habitat and Ecology
Walrus migrate with the moving ice floes, but never venture far from the coast as they feed in shallow waters. They can swim to a depth of around 100m to feed on molluscs and other invertebrates, but on average do not go much deeper than 20-30m.
Geographic Location
The Pacific walrus is found around Alaska and north-east Russia. The Atlantic walrus is found in the Canadian Arctic, in the waters of Greenland, Svalbard and the western portion of the Russian Arctic. The Laptev walrus is restricted to the Laptev sea.
Range states
Canada; Greenland; Norway; Russian Federation; Svalbard and Jan Mayen; United States
What are the main threats?
The retreat of sea ice caused by climate change forces walruses ashore, with deadly consequences As arctic sea ice recedes far from the Russian and Alaskan coasts due to warmer temperatures caused by climate change, walruses – including females and their babies – are forced to take refuge on land.
The animals congregate in large groups, known as "haul outs". These mass congregations are dangerous and can lead to violent stampedes that are often deadly, especially to young walruses.
The video shows some of the 131 carcasses, mostly calves and yearlings, found dead in the end of September 2009.
What is WWF doing?
- WWF works with partners around the circumpolar north to preserve the Arctic's rich biodiversity and combat threats from climate change, toxics and illegal fishing.
- WWF's work on climate change aims to cut global greenhouse gas emissions to prevent dangerous climate change, and aims to help species such as the walrus adapt to changes which are already occurring.
- Specific projects include:
Arctic - Toxics
A New Approach to Protecting Arctic Ecological Values.

Teradata does the grand refresh
No plans to operationalize HP
It's time to get operationalizing*.
So went the call from Teradata as it revealed Version 12 of the Teradata Database and Version 6 of Relationship Manager. Both products, along with some new software tools and services, push Teradata closer to complementing its strength in "strategic intelligence" with fresh work on "operational excellence." Confused? We're here to help.
As Teradata sees it, so-called knowledge workers have been the main people tapping into its data warehouse systems. These flashy execs have pulled up information on shipments, marketing plans and profits and losses. Now, Teradata wants to give schlubs like call center workers, customers and partners access to crucial bits of data in the hopes that they'll use it to effect some manner of quick, operational change.
And so white collar data meets white collar (slightly tinged with blue) collar data.
One of our closest flirtations with understanding the operational excellence concept came in the Teradata Database 12 news statement. "Using a combination of historical data, analytics, and up-to-the-minute data, front-line employees can switch from making decisions based on assumptions and guesswork to decisions based on facts and corporate strategy."
Apparently this magic happens through some rather technical tweaks to Teradata Database 12.
For example, Teradata has revamped its data partitioning technology to give customers more choices when they're trying to divvy up information for quicker searching. Teradata first put out this technology – Partition Primary Index – three years ago and limited table partitioning to a few parameters such as date. With so-called Multi-Level Partitioning, customers can now sort data via things such as "state" or "product" and run queries up to 30 per cent faster in some instances.
Also on the speed front, Teradata popped out a next generation optimizer, an improved query rewriting function and revamped indexing. The query rewriting technology seems particularly useful as it will automatically rewrite less than adequate queries for the user in the hopes of returning better data faster.
A few other bits and pieces in Teradata 12 include support for Java stored procedures, a SQL bulk load tool and a hardened encryption algorithm. All told, Teradata chucked 37 new tools into the software with customers requesting 21 of the additions.
With Relationship Manager Version 6, customers will find a new web browser-based interface, which again is meant to give more people access to the detailed information stored in a data warehouse. You'll find a list of the additional tools in the new software package here.
Away from Teradata's flagship products, the company talked up some complementary code and services.
For example, Teradata pushed hard with its ServiceLink package that is sort of a marriage between software and services. With ServiceLink, a Teradata technician can dial into a customer's site via a VPN and perform the expected maintenance checks. This action can take place in a preemptive fashion with Teradata staff constantly monitoring hardware and software looking for potential failures such as a downed DIMM before they actually occur.
The remote management notion has been hit hard by the large hardware vendors in recent years as they try and grab hold of customer accounts with a bit more muscle.
The ServiceLink package fits into a broad set of similar technology captured under Teradata's new Availability Management Services (AMS) heading.
During a question and answer session, we pushed Teradata CEO Michael Koehler to elaborate on how the company can use its new independent status to perhaps throw R&D funds at some other fresh areas. Koehler, however, declined to take up our challenge, saying instead that he "just does not have a specific example" of any dazzling product plans.
Come on, Mike? No Netezza-like appliance up your sleeve?
Over a beer, Koehler might have responded, "Hell no!" but during the press conference he passed our query over to Chief Marketing Officer Darryl McDonald who extolled the virtues of Teradata's industry-standard hardware approach – the Xeon-based Teradata 5500 server.
As it happens, Koehler has not considered suing HP either – even though its CEO Mark Hurd used to run Teradata's former parent NCR and its CIO Randy Mott used to be one of Teradata's biggest customers when he held the CIO post at both Wal-Mart and Dell.
"We view HP and its Neoview (platform) just like we view all other competitors," Koehler said.
What's the point of having a large cash stockpile if you're not willing to burn some funds on blockbuster lawsuits?
From what we hear, Mott is using his rather immense contact network and some very sweet deals to try and undercut Teradata's base. So far, according to Teradata, Mott has failed with these actions.
Teradata must continue to contend with a variety of start-ups trying to attack the lower-end of its business such as Netezza and Dataupia. And then there are the big fellas like IBM, Oracle and HP going after the higher-end gear.
Teradata, however, strikes us as having its act together rather well and enjoying a singular focus on the data warehousing market. The big vendors cannot claim such attention to data warehousing and smaller vendors have yet to match Teradata from a technology standpoint. ®
* Yes, that's an actual word used in a Teradata presentation.

It may not be the kind of burning issue that keeps you awake at night, but the findings of a recent survey carried out by dating website Match.com may raise a smile nevertheless.
The survey looked at the dating habits of Canadians and how they corresponded with the type of smartphone they own.
The results showed that Android owners were more likely to have sex on a first date compared to owners of Apple's iPhone or those with BlackBerry devices. A one-night stand was also more likely to happen among owners of Android devices, the survey found.
As for office romances, such shenanigans were most likely among iPhone owners, with almost 25 percent of iPhone users having had such a romance in the last five years.
Owners of Apple's smartphone were also found to be quicker off the mark with getting in touch following a dalliance, with iPhone users more likely to call or text the following day, while BlackBerry and Android users would most likely play it cool and wait a few days.
Speaking to Canada.com about the findings, Toronto-based psychotherapist and Match.com spokesperson Kimberley Moffit said it could be that iPhone users get in touch more quickly because they're often younger and more familiar with tech. "If they are in the younger demographic they might be more comfortable with technology and more likely to put themselves out there via text message," she suggested.
Moffit described owners of Android devices as being "a little more racey" when compared to owners of other types of phone. Match.com's research discovered that 62 percent of Android users have ended up in bed on the very first date, while 55 percent have had a one-night stand.
So what of BlackBerry users? Funnily enough, the results appear to suggest they're more likely to be found boozing than engaging in a bit of hanky-panky. According to the survey, BlackBerry owners are most likely to drink alcohol on a first date (72 percent). Moffit puts this down to the idea that many owners of BlackBerry devices work in stressful, business-related jobs.
The results of the survey could mean that the age-old chat-up line "do you come here often?" will finally be laid to rest and replaced with "so, what kind of smartphone device do you own?"

A forum titled Protect Our Pets will provide an opportunity for residents to learn about the legislative landscape as it relates to this issue and hear how they can get more involved.
UTICA — A forum titled Protect Our Pets will provide an opportunity for residents to learn about the legislative landscape as it relates to this issue and hear how they can get more involved.
It will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday in the Mohawk Valley Community College Alumni College Center Building, according to a news release from Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi, D-Utica.
"Our pets are important members of our families, and it's our moral obligation to protect them," Brindisi said. "We must update our archaic animal cruelty laws by giving weak laws real teeth so abusers think before they act."
Joining Brindisi will be Brian Shapiro, New York state director of the Humane Society of the United States; Oneida County District Attorney Scott McNamara; and Oneida County Sheriff Robert Maciol.
"This public forum will provide an excellent opportunity to discuss the issues that presently face us when we prosecute animal abuse cases," McNamara said in the news release. "I look forward to attending, and to working with those who are concerned about finding ways we can work together to combat the abuse of companion animals."
Brindisi said current criminal penalties for violating animal cruelty laws are outdated and do not do enough to punish those who commit reprehensible acts against innocent animals. New legislation that increases the penalties would hold abusers accountable and work to deter future acts of cruelty, he said.
"Animal cruelty is a serious crime, and it's necessary to raise awareness with our elected officials and within the criminal justice system," Shapiro said. "This forum … will strengthen our resolve to combat cruelty, and provide animal advocates with the tools needed to lobby for stronger laws in New York."
Those interested in attending can preregister by visiting tinyurl.com/ProtectOurPets, calling 732-1055, or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

Even if we did find out that the universe has a creator, it would be an entity on its own right, with its own properties, not a mythical creature with human-invented properties.
I missed this earlier.Are you saying that if the universe had a creator, and therefore a designer, that this creator would be what you, the designed and created person, say it would be? Really?
VERY, VERY GOOD POINT!!! Please don't dodge this question. I can't wait to hear the answer. WOW!!! GREAT QUESTION!!!
