 * I currently have a local install of WordPress 3.1 RC1 and I got this warning 
   when I activated the widget in my side bar.
 * Notice: WP_Query was called with an argument that is deprecated since version
   3.1! “caller_get_posts” is deprecated. Use “ignore_sticky_posts” instead. in …/
   wp-includes/functions.php on line 3376
 * In the plugin file select_featured_posts.php on line 183 and line 185 change 
   the “caller_get_posts=1” to “ignore_sticky_posts=1” and the plugin will work 
   fine.

 * My solution :
 * //Query cats (minus exclude cat)
    $pCats = ‘5,-7,-8’; //Post to exlude $pTabEcludePost
   = array(get_the_ID(),8,9)
 * $params = array (
    ‘cat’=> $pCats, ‘post__not_in’ => $pTabEcludePost, ‘posts_per_page’
   => 5,)
 * query_posts($params);
