A terminally-ill teenager who has raised more than £1.6 million for charity has said he is "still fighting" as donations from the public continue to roll in thanks to his fundraising efforts.
Stephen Sutton, who is battling with cancer, launched a campaign to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust and created a bucket-list of things to do before he died.
He said he thought he was a "goner" just days ago when he suffered a collapsed lung.
But Mr Sutton, who is being backed to raise £2 million by a number of celebrities including Simon Pegg, Steve Coogan and James Nesbitt, wrote on his Facebook page that despite thinking he did not have long to live, he had made steady progress since.
"Hi everyone, it's Stephen here - still here and still fighting!!!," he wrote.
"Throughout the whole journey I've been realistic about my position and at my last post I genuinely thought I was a goner.... But hey, I'm still here!!
"Sunday morning my right lung collapsed: I had a full emergency team surrounding me and in all honesty was probably not too far from nearly leaving you all.
"I survived, but the following day I woke up and felt very weak - the worry was that whatever was left of my health would just continue to deteriorate.
"However, from that point on my recovery has been positive and quite unexpected.
"One doctor while seeing me even said how my medical notes and how I was actually doing didn't quite seem to match up.
"The progress since has continued to be good but steady.
"I am still in a very vulnerable position.
"I am very limited in what I can do and am still permanently hooked up to oxygen.
"But I am in high spirits and blessed to have so much love and support around me.
"To get to see the million pound fundraising target being reached was just phenomenal!"
Mr Sutton, from Burntwood, Staffordshire, added that he planned to take things day by day " but I am happy - and that's the main thing!"
A host of celebrities have taken to Twitter to help the cause, posing for pictures with the hashtag thumbsupforstephen and holding signs urging the public to donate.
The teenager was diagnosed with what was initially bowel cancer, when he was 15.
Despite surgery, the aggressive cancer spread to different parts of his body and, after further treatment and operations, doctors concluded it was incurable.
Fighting the disease, Mr Sutton decided to set up a bucket-list of 46 things to do before he dies along with the fundraising campaign, setting an initial target of £10,000 before it was smashed by the huge number of public donations as publicity around his cause spread.
The campaign is also being backed by comedian Jason Manford, who said he had previously met the teenager at charity gigs.
Appearing on ITV's Daybreak today, Manford said he and others were inspired to get involved by the teenager's positive attitude as he strove to make the best of his situation.
He said: "That's what got their imaginations going really.
"It was that he just had such joy for life.
"He wasn't bitter about leaving the party early, he was just happy that he was ever invited at all.
"He's 19, which is no age at all.
"There's so many things he's not going to be able to do, but there's something he said on his Facebook page and on his website - he said that life shouldn't be measured in time, it should be measured in achievements you've accomplished and I thought 'This guy's 19', and it really got to me."
Mr Sutton set up his charity fundraising website and blog on Facebook in January last year to keep people up to date with his progress.
On Tuesday he wrote that his condition had worsened, adding "unfortunately I haven't got much time left".
Thanking family, friends and fundraisers, he said: "That's it from me. But life has been good. Very good."
Siobhan Dunn, chief executive of the Teenage Cancer Trust, praised the inspiring teenager and ambassador for the charity.
She said: "I've had the privilege of meeting him and his positivity is always remembered by all that meet him or hear him speak.
"Stephen is making the biggest possible difference to Teenage Cancer Trust and the young people who need our help.
"We're a relatively small charity and Stephen has inspired his family, friends and communities up and down the country to raise over £1,300,000 and it's still climbing.
"This is a remarkable amount which will help us support many more young people with cancer."
Speaking previously, Mr Sutton said he disliked the term "dying from my cancer - I am living with my cancer, despite it being there".
His bucket-list included things like hugging an elephant, crowd-surfing in a rubber dinghy, playing the drums at a Wembley cup final, getting a tattoo and appearing on BBC drama Doctors.

Zoos and wildlife parks have a certain magical appeal. They give us the chance to see fascinating animals in the flesh – for which you would otherwise have to travel great distances. Experiencing animals in the wild may be exciting but it is not always easy, because they can be very timid or occasionally extremely dangerous. In a wildlife park or at the zoo, however, you can look at these creatures and get close to them without any fear – you can even stroke and feed some or at least watch them being fed. Thanks to monkey enclosures and petting farms, children are always in their element here. Ever wondered how giraffes sleep? And what about fish? Do komodo dragons breathe fire? Why do penguins have wings and what do bears do all winter? The zoo is the place to go for the answers to these questions. It's the zoos' homegrown stars – the enchanting baby animals – that always attract the most attention: mini elephants, cute snow leopard cubs, cuddly little polar bears, adorable baby monkeys or tiny clownfish. Some do the funniest things, others just look incredibly sweet as they play and frolic in their enclosures. For something a little bit different, try a trip to a terrarium – a haven of spiders, scorpions, snakes and reptiles. And who can resist the mysterious underwater worlds and dolphin displays? With zoos, wildlife parks, bird worlds, aquariums and butterfly houses to explore, the range of animal attractions is as diverse as nature itself. But Germany's animal attractions are more than just a great family day-out. They actively contribute to international breeding programmes and species conservation – and by visiting, you are supporting them in these initiatives.

Among recent enforcement actions by the SEC were charges against 23 firms for short selling prior to stock offerings; against the operator of a Florida hospital for misleading investors about the hospital's finances; against a self-styled money manager for defrauding investors; and against a hedge fund advisor for breach of fiduciary duty.
23 Firms Charged for Short Selling Stocks Prior to Offerings
The SEC has charged 23 firms with short selling stocks prior to a public offering of those stocks in which they subsequently participated. All but one of the 23 firms is settling the enforcement actions; the 22 will pay a total of $14.4 million in fines.
Rule 105 of Regulation M, which seeks to prevent anyone with an interest in the outcome of an equity offering from manipulating the price, has become a focus of SEC enforcement actions as the agency has sought to prevent the artificial depression of stock prices prior to an offering—most often a secondary offering.
Numerous hedge funds have run afoul of the rule in recent years, particularly since the SEC need not prove an intent to manipulate the market. Earlier enforcement actions have wrung settlements from such leaders in the hedge fund field as UBS's O'Connor, Bain Capital's Brookside Capital and Appaloosa Management.
The SEC's Division of Enforcement is pursuing a litigated administrative proceeding against G-2 Trading LLC, and seeks full disgorgement of the trading profits, prejudgment interest, penalties, and other relief.
See the SEC statement for the 22 firms that have settled.
Fake Money Manager Charged With Bilking Investors
Frederick Scott, owner of New York-based investment advisory firm ACI Capital Group, was charged by the SEC with defrauding investors and grossly exaggerating the amount of assets he had under management.
Scott registered ACI Capital, apparently for the express purpose of stealing investor money. He then set out to woo small businesses and individual investors with too-good-to-be-true opportunities while boasting about that registration and the nonexistent $3.7 billion he supposedly had under management.
Scott took their money and ran—to pay for personal expenses that included private school tuition for his kids, department store purchases, air travel and hotels and thousands in dental bills. He never paid returns to his investors and never intended to, according to the SEC.
He was creative in how he got the money from investors. In an "advance fee" scheme, he promised investors that ACI would provide multimillion-dollar loans to people seeking bank financing. First, he told them, they'd have to provide an advance percentage of the loan amount to ACI; after they did that, he claimed, they'd get the remaining balance of the amount he'd promised to pay. But again, he never had any intention of making loans or payments of any kind, except on his own behalf and for his own benefit. So the investors got nothing.
He also offered investors the "opportunity" to make a bridge loan to a third-party entity. According to his version of the deal, investors would pay one portion of the loan to the nonexistent borrower and ACI would provide the rest, and then later investors would get a good return on the money they'd "loaned." But Scott stole this money, too.
Scott was also charged in a parallel criminal action by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York, which announced that he had pleaded guilty. Among other things, he was charged with lying to SEC examiners.
Operator of Miami-Dade County's Largest Hospital Charged
The operator of the Public Health Trust, which is the governing authority for Jackson Health System, Miami-Dade County's largest hospital, has been charged with misleading investors about how badly its financial condition had deteriorated prior to an $83 million bond offering.
The SEC found in an investigation that both present and future revenues were misstated in the official statement accompanying the bond offering. While PHT projected a $56 million non-operating loss for its fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2009, that figure was more than four times lower than what PHT finally reported at the end of the 2009 fiscal year.
The problem originated with breakdowns in a new billing system that inaccurately recorded revenue and patient accounts receivable. When it was discovered by outside auditors, it required a large accounting adjustment to the reported net income, and the PHT ultimately reported a non-operating loss of $244 million for fiscal year 2009.
But PHT had been aware of the billing problems, and despite the concerns of trustees and executive management, its budget department used stale cash collection numbers to generate the projection. That resulted in a materially misleading statement, since the PHT lacked a reasonable basis for its loss projection.
PHT also failed to properly account for an adverse arbitration award that required it to pay a third-party receivables company $3.9 million in cash, and transfer to the company $360 million face amount of existing accounts receivable and $250 million face amount of future accounts receivable. PHT misrepresented that its financial statements were prepared according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), when in fact it had failed to perform an analysis to determine the value of the replacement accounts receivable awarded to the third-party company and thus determine how to report the award.
PHT has neither admitted nor denied the SEC's findings, which resulted in a cease-and-desist order but not a financial penalty owing to PHT's current financial condition. The SEC's investigation is ongoing.
Hedge Fund Advisor Charged with Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Shadron Stastney, an advisor to a New York-based hedge fund, was charged by the SEC with breaching his fiduciary duty after he put together an undisclosed principal transaction in which he had a financial conflict of interest.
In late December 2007 and early January 2008, Stasney, a partner at the investment advisory firm Vicis Capital, arranged for a personal friend and outside business partner who had been hired by the firm as a managing director to sell a basket of illiquid securities to a client hedge fund. The friend was required to divest himself of the securities, which overlapped with securities in which the hedge fund, Vicis Capital Master Fund, also was invested.
Stasney never revealed to either the client hedge fund or any other partners and management at the firm that he himself had a personal stake in the sale of those securities. He traded as a principal when he authorized the client hedge fund to pay approximately $7.5 million for the securities, and then personally benefited from the sale, receiving a portion of the proceeds—something that, as principal, he was required not only to disclose but to seek client consent for.
After the hedge fund purchased the securities, Stasney's friend wired Stastney's share of more than $2 million of the sales proceeds to his personal savings account.
Without admitting or denying them, Stastney has agreed to pay more than $2.9 million to settle the SEC's charges. That includes disgorgement of $2,033,710.46, prejudgment interest of $501,385.06, and a penalty of $375,000. He is also barred from association with any investment company, investment advisor, broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, or transfer agent for at least 18 months. He will be permitted to finish winding down the fund under the oversight of an independent monitor payable at his own expense.

Pointer Arithmetic: A Major (Dis)advantage of C and C++
*p++ appear in C and C++ programs all the time, and few other languages support this notion at all.
We continue last week's discussion of C's unification of arrays and pointers — a profound idea that pervades C and C++ programming. As an example of how pervasive this idea is, expressions such as
*p++ appear in C and C++ programs all the time, and few other languages support this notion at all.
I use unification to refer to this treatment because it argues, in effect, that there is a single best way (hence the word unification) to address contiguous memory. This best way is to link the smallest addressable unit of memory to the data structure being addressed, rather than to the computer. Doing so allows a C programmer to assume that if
p points to
a[n], then
p+1 points to
a[n+1], regardless of the type of
a or the architecture of the machine that is running the program.
The meaning of
*p++ rests on several characteristics of C:
- The language supports pointer types; values of those types can be used to locate other values in memory.
- A pointer contains all the information necessary to locate the object to which it points.
- It is possible to use the type of a pointer to determine the type of the corresponding object.
- Objects can be adjacent in memory.
- If a pointer
ppoints to an object, then
--pchanges the value of
pso that it refers to one of the objects adjacent to the one to which it pointed originally.
- Adding (subtracting) a nonnegative integer
phas the same effect as executing
++p (--p) ntimes. Adding
–nhas the same effect as subtracting
n, and vice versa.
Defining pointers in this way is a great convenience, but the definition comes with a hazard. If we use
a[n] to refer to element
n of an array
a, it is easy to see that the compiler has an opportunity to check the value of
n against the size of
a at the time that
a[n] is evaluated. If, on the other hand, we make a pointer
p point to an element of
a, and then later we refer to
*p, it is entirely possible that the size of
a might have changed in a way that would invalidate
Pointers in C and C++ are hazardous for the same reason that they are useful: They take part of the notion of an array and move it out of the array data structure itself. In particular, the computation that goes into taking an integer
n and locating the array element
a[n] gets moved from the array to the pointer. Moving the computation in this way gives programmers more control over when and how that computation is performed: If we know where
a[n] is, then we can locate
a[n+1] without having to do another index computation. However, this movement creates an aliasing problem: If
p points to an element of
a, then there is no automatic way of reflecting in
p a change to the location of
a's memory.
Pointer arithmetic is hazardous in another way. If we use integers to locate array elements, there is no trouble talking about integers that are out of bounds for the array. An integer is what it is, and if a particular integer happens not to be the index of any element in an array, there is no particular problem. In contrast, if we use pointers to address array elements, we need to be able to consider the circumstances in which pointers might point to memory that is not part of an array. You might think that it would be possible to prohibit such pointers, but if you think about the mechanics of using (only) pointers to process all of the elements of an
n-element array, you will see that there is trouble if the array has no elements at all.
In short, if we are to translate programs that use indices into corresponding programs that use pointers, we must figure out the circumstances under which we can legitimately deal with "invalid" pointers. We shall have more to say about these circumstances next week.

Amongst the most important things that you can do for your health is to go to regular checkups and get preventive screening tests. These can identify health problems early, when treatment is more successful.
Breast examinations and mammograms:
From the age of 20 onwards, women should perform the self-breast exam at least once a month. Regular self examination will help you understand what is normal. Symptoms such as swelling, mass, dimpling of skin, and discharge from the nipple, should be immediately reported to your health professional. Breast exams by the health professional should be done from the age of 20 at least every three years until the age of 40, and annually after that. Mammograms should be done once every one or two years starting at the age of 40. The mammogram produces images of the inner tissue of the breast to help find out cysts and tumors.
Pelvic exam and the Pap smear test:
From the age of 18, or when sexual activity begins, this examination should be done once a year. The Pap smear is a simple test requiring the health professional to take a small swab to gently scrape the inner cervix and later look for abnormal cells. During a pelvic exam, the health professional looks for any abnormality, internally or externally.
Blood cholesterol and blood pressure tests:
Testing for blood cholesterol should start at the age of 20 and be done every five years or so. This is to see if you have high blood cholesterol, which can lead to heart disease. A fasting lipoprotein test is the most accurate and it measures HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels (bad cholesterol). A quick blood pressure measurement should be done for women at the age of 20 and older. It only takes a few minutes but can catch one of the biggest risk factors for heart disease -- high blood pressure.
Checking blood glucose levels is one of the ways to diagnose diabetes. This should start at the age of 45, and then be repeated every three years. Early diagnosis of diabetes can help your health professional set out your treatment guidelines before complications such as eye diseases, kidney diseases etc associated with diabetes set in.
Eye and ear health:
At 40, women should have a baseline test done and then this can be repeated every two years. This should be yearly after the age of 65. It is important to catch disorders such as glaucoma, retinopathy and cataracts when there are more treatment options available. Hearing tests should start at the age of 18 and be done every 10 years and every two years after the age of 50.
Bone mineral density exam:
These measurements find out low bond density, which can cause fractures and could be a sign of osteoporosis. These tests are best for women over the age of 40 who have had a fracture and all women above the age of 65. Women at risk should be tested earlier.
Sexually transmitted disease (STD) screening:
This is for all women who are sexually active. Many of these are symptomless and so testing for them becomes vital. STDs like gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes, and HIV can be diagnosed by STD screenings. These are often performed during the annual gynecologic exam.
Colon cancer screening:
This should be done once a year after the age of 50. If there is a family history, the testing for this should be done at a younger age. The fecal occult blood test checks for blood stool to see if there is a problem. Every five years, women above 50 should have a flexible sigmoidoscopy, a procedure that uses a thin flexible lighted tube to examine the rectum and lower colon.Early detection is the best defense. The two people most interested in your health usually include yourself and your health professional. Don't be afraid to ask questions, ask for examples, ask for further clarification if you don't understand what is being said and ask for more guidelines.

Your Chance To Participate In A New Football Phenomenon (Sandbox Simulations)
I apologize if the mods think this is soliciting, and I guess it is, but at the same time it's beta testing a new product developed by long-time planeteers, and it's free.
cdcox and I have been developing a new football game for the thoughtful fan, where players build franchises and compete against each other. A description is below.
If you're interested, we're offering the game for free in Year 1 to Chiefsplanet members, with the goal of both giving the system a dry run and also hooking you like Phillip Morris. You can go to www.sandboxsimulations.com to sign up, and use the access code 6Lanier3.
Here's the overview:
Build and manage a full 53-player roster over multiple seasons, as an offseason activity to give you year-round football
Select your personnel to match your offensive and defensive scheme. Every position matters – even your blocking tight end.
Realistic and accurate simulations of league games based on head-to-head matchups against other teams in your league.
This is essentially a new concept in fantasy football that attempts to simulate as closely as possible the management of a real NFL franchise over a multi-year period. Unlike regular fantasy football, every position on the offense and defense contributes to your success or failure. On special teams, the punter, kicker, and kick returners matter.
In Sandbox Football you will build a team – an entire 53-man football team – via an initial draft, and will maintain it year after year in annual rookie drafts, trading periods, and free agency. You compete against teams in your league. In the first year of the game, before the start of the NFL season, you will build your roster by drafting veterans and rookies through separate drafts, and through trades with other teams in the league. Your roster is frozen at the beginning of the NFL season. During the real regular NFL season, you can focus on your traditional fantasy games and perhaps keep on eye on your Sandbox roster as our statistical models build the data on player performances. At the end of the regular NFL season, the Sandbox season begins. There will be 16 games in the season. In real time, the season will run about 8 weeks (2 alternate reality games per week).
Game outcomes will be simulated based on the performance of individual players during the just-completed NFL regular season. The simulations, developed by a PhD statistical expert, estimate how individual players will perform in the context of your alternate reality team competing head-to-head against other teams in the league and with the specific team that you have built. The simulations will consider the offensive and defensive schemes that you select. So you can build your roster to support a power running game or a high-flying passing attack. You can run a 3-4 or 4-3 base defense. You can run nickel formations or four-wide receiver sets. You can rotate your DL to keep them fresh.
The game is more about building a team than playing video games. So this isn't Madden, but you will have the ability to tweak your game plan to take the best advantage of your roster and the weaknesses of your opponent. Injuries are a factor in the game. If a player is unavailable during weeks 3 through 6 in the NFL, he is also unavailable during the same weeks in the alternate reality season. So roster depth matters. The game simulations are based on the most advanced statistics and the latest research regarding what matters in winning an NFL game. But, the outcomes of the games have a random component, just like real NFL games.
The calendar for the alternate reality league year will look something like this:
• Jan to Mid March: Alternate Reality regular season and playoffs.
• Mid-March to the beginning of NFL season: Roster building through trades, veteran draft (first year), free agent drafts (2nd year and beyond), and rookie draft.
• Beginning of NFL season to end of regular NFL season: Alternate reality league is dormant, but the NFL players are generating their performance stats for the up-coming AR league.
• Rinse and repeat.
Copyright Sandbox Simulations, all rights reserved.
We're still finalizing the cost structure, but this won't be an expensive game to play at all. It might range from a few bucks a year to $50 per year, depending on a few factors.
Year 1 will require a couple of days of drafting with rather high intensity, but we've got it set up where you can put your draft list together and do customized and automated drafting if you like.
So...go! Now! Time to get ready for the draft!
Note that we are still in beta testing, so things could change if we find problems in the system.
How Free Agency Works:
Free Agency will begin before the 2012 season after the rookie draft.
Our process is as follows for the 2012 season. In 2013 and beyond there will be minor changes as noted later.
1. We will unveil the list of available free agents so you can check out the talent pool.
2. If you look in "Standings", you will see that you have a salary account value of $1,300. You will use this to sign your veterans to contracts, sign your rookies to contracts, and (in a competitive bidding process) sign free agents to contracts.
The cost of a contract is as follows for players already on your roster (both veterans and rookies).
$0 - 1 season contract
$10 - 2 season contract
$22 - 3 season contract
$37 - 4 season contract
$55 - 5 season contract
$76 - 6 season contract
$100 - 7 season contract
You will sign your existing players to contracts using an interface that we will unveil shortly. If your 53-man roster is set you can spend your $1,300 on your current roster. However, it may be worthwhile to hold some money back so you can compete for free agents.
3. The free agency period begins.
Bidding for free agents will be open and competitive. As players come available, teams will be allowed to sign them if they are the high bidder. The contract length is automatically calculated by rounding down the bid to the chart below.
Contract Length (Seasons) Salary Points Bid
1 0 to 9
2 10 to 21
3 22 to 36
4 37 to 54
5 55 to 75
6 76 to 99
7 100 or more
For example, if you submit the winning bid for a player at a price of 25 salary points, that player becomes yours under a 3-year contract. If you submit a bid for 35 points and win, it's also a 3-year contract. If you submit a bid for 38 points, it's a 4-year contract. If you submit a bid for 120 points, it's a 7-year contract.
For the 2012 free agency period, we will enforce the 53-man rule. You will need to cut down to 53 players before the free agency period starts, and if you sign a player to go above 53, you will need to cut a player to stay within the roster limit. NOTE: DON'T CUT YET UNLESS YOU WANT TO. WE'RE STILL FINALIZING THE SYSTEM AND WANT TO BE SURE THAT THIS RULE WORKS IN 2012.
4. Ending Bidding and Ending Free Agency.
Bids on an individual player will begin once the first player places a bid. For the 2012 season that bid must be $1 or more. Bidding ends when the existing high bid had not been raised for 72 hours. At that point, the high-bid team is awarded the player under the contract terms described in Step 3.
The free agency period in 2012 will end once there have been no bids on any players for 72 hours.
5. Unused Salary Points
If you do not use all of your salary points in a given year, they will roll over from year to year. This is experimental and we'll have to see how it works. If it doesn't work, they'll expire each year, or maybe a portion of the points can roll over. Right now, assume they all roll over.
6. Salary Points and Roster Management
In the Sandbox system, salary points and the salary cap are used only for acquiring players. You will never have to track the number of salary points "on your roster" and you will never have to cut a player for salary cap reasons.
Additionally, you are not obligated to keep a player for the full length of his contract. You can cut him or trade him at any time. However, recognize that it's a waste of salary points to cut or trade a player before the end of his contract. But it doesn't hamstring you going forward - it's just past money that you wasted.
7. Free Agency and Contract Length - Retaining Your Current Players
When a player reaches the end of their contract, they go back into the free agency pool and teams will bid for their services. You are eligible to bid on them to get them back, just like you can bid on any free agents.
There is one exception to the rule of free agents going into the free agency pool, as follows:
• At the end of the bidding process, you have the opportunity to re-sign your own players by outbidding the high bidder. Your bid must be the minimum points to increase their contract period by a year over the high bid. (Example: your player goes to free agency, and another team bids 50 points for him, which equates to a 4-year contract. You can keep the player by paying 55 points for him, which is the minimum amount for a 5-year contract.) If the high bidder offered a contract of 100 points or more (7-years), you can keep the player by bidding 10% more points than the high bid.
8. Free Agency and Trades
If you trade for a player, their contract length is a consideration. Trading for a player with 6 years left on his contract will give you his services for that amount of time (unless you cut him or trade him, or he retires). Trading for a player with 1 year left on his contract means that he'll go back into the free agency pool at the end of the season. (Of course, you can still retain him via Step 7.)
9. Future Years
In future years, the process will be identical to that shown above, with the following exceptions.
a. Because you will have a lot of veteran players under contract, you won't need $1,300. You'll get a new annual allotment of signing dollars. We're still working on the exact amount, but it looks like it'll be between $500 and $600.
b. In the 2012 season, we will introduce all free agents at once to catch up. In the 2013 season and beyond, the free agency period will occur during the actual NFL season. We will sprinkle the free agents in one division at a time over the course of the season. (The divisions may be randomly selected or we may release a calendar. It doesn't matter that much.) This system should be interesting because some free agents will come available early in the season when you don't know their performance for the year - greater risk, greater reward - while other free agents will come available later in the season when you know what their performance will be, but so does everyone else.
c. In the 2013 season and beyond, you will be able to retain more than 53 players through the rookie draft and the main free agency period. You will then have a cutdown period to get to 53 and we will have a final free agency period where you can sign any players who have been cut. In that final period you will have to enforce a 53-man roster, so if you sign a player you have to cut one.
10. When you think about the schedule in 2013 and beyond, it will go like this:
a. Sandbox season goes from February through April.
b. Rookie draft in May. No 53-man limit.
c. Free agency from (likely) September through December, with free agents sprinkled in throughout that period.
d. January. Roster cuts to 53.
e. Late January. Final free agency period to flesh out rosters and sign players cut in Step d.
f. New Sandbox season begins.

How much do you win, if you win. 2nd and 3rd as well.
noa is in!
(Shaking hands.)
I haven't read the entire title post yet... but I did click the link and since you picked the best logo... I decree ALL SandboxSimulations posts free from any SPAM rulings.
You are officially endorsed by ChiefsPlanet... btw it sounds cool as hell.
(It's possible at some point to have money prizes, but right now I think we want to avoid that. We want it to be more about enjoying the game at this point, and we also need to prove the system.)
Thank you very much, and in return you can have a free entry in Year 1.
Ok I formally protest that Saint Joseph is not an available city on the list! Any chance I can pick San Antonio now and change to St Joe when it is added later? I'll let ya have a banner ad and SPAM PatriotsPlanet!
You know you wanna!
PS Who picked Austin as a city already?
This sounds cool as hell! Definitely in!
Was all about it until I saw the captcha. Dealbreaker.
I'm in.

As a current student on this bumpy collegiate pathway, I stumbled upon Course Hero, where I can find study resources for nearly all my courses, get online help from tutors 24/7, and even share my old projects, papers, and lecture notes with other students.
Kiran Temple University Fox School of Business '17, Course Hero Intern
I cannot even describe how much Course Hero helped me this summer. It's truly become something I can always rely on and help me. In the end, I was not only able to survive summer classes, but I was able to thrive thanks to Course Hero.
Dana University of Pennsylvania '17, Course Hero Intern
The ability to access any university's resources through Course Hero proved invaluable in my case. I was behind on Tulane coursework and actually used UCLA's materials to help me move forward and get everything together on time.

Brought to you by Aaron and Rob, this week's edition of KC KDE covers everything from the elusive KDE League to Kamera, music applications (Brahms, noteedit, Rosegarden), and details on a new keybindings scheme that exploits the Windows keys.
The new keybindings seem interesting. However I think changes should be very conservative. If 100 million Windows users know a certain keybinding by heart, you better not change it because it makes the transition to KDE much easier. Ctrl-alt-del is the most well known of them all, and most people know it. So why change the meaning of this in KDE? Also, many people including me, use both KDE and Windows, and if the most common keybindings are the same, it would be a big advantage. But of course, not even in the most common windows applications do they have consistent keybindings for such common operations such as search, search again, replace, save etc.
Another thing to consider is that some keys are easy to type only on certain keyboards, like us-keyboards. On my keyboard (swedish) = _ (equals and underscore) requires shift. {}[] @ requires Alt Gr for example. Such keys should not be used as keybindings because they would require an extra modifier. I think the best keys to be used in conjucntion with modifiers are the function keys/esc/insert/delete/home/end/pgup/pgdn/the numerical keyboard/print scrn/scroll lock/break/cursor keys, plus tab, backspace, and the alfanumerical ones.
Finally, what is really the meta key? Is it the ugly one with a flying window on it? Can the "menu" key also get a good meaning in KDE?
Ok, I reply to myself. I would really like the menu-key to work just as in windows: bring up the "actions" of the selected object, the same way as right-click does. We better not dilute this key with something else, because it is very convenient!
Under XFree86, you can bind any key to a mouse click. To bind the menu key to a right-click, run the following command:
xmodmap -e "keysym Menu = Pointer_Button3"
Now, when pressing Shift + NumLock, you will hear a beep, and you can start using the menu key as you right mouse key! The KDE context-menus can be navigated with the Tab and Shift+Tab keys.
You can also use the numerical keyboard to move your mouse pointer.
Question :
> > I would really like the menu-key to work just as in windows: bring up the "actions" of the selected object, the same way as right-click does.
Bad answer :
> Under XFree86 : xmodmap -e "keysym Menu = Pointer_Button3
A end user ignores Xfree86, he only knows the parameters of KDE.
I too wish to use the "Start menu key" and the "right menu key", and also Alt Gr E for Euro. Inside KDE, by default, of course !
Someone tell me which key is the Menu Key Please. I need it for use of Alteration of my monitor sizing ( black lines down both sides ) anyone help? I new to Computers. Thanks
in case it wasn't clear enough in the summarry, this new keybinding set is _not_ the default set but merely an option, for several reasons including some which you mention above.
for those who do not use windows or simply want to try out a new keybinding set that has some logical reasoning behind it, this is IMO an interesting development.
all of it is completely configurable in the control center, under look 'n feel -> key bindings, where you can adjust things to your heart's content. for instance, i prefer switching virtual desktops with Alt+F# (like vt's on the linux console) rather than Ctrl+F#.
I would like that the windows key - start and properties (right click function) to be enabled on KDE. I am used to use the keyboard to go through menu, and I am pressing the Start key, which works only for WIndows...
To enable the Windows keys on your keyboard, bind the keys to F13-F15. I use a file ~/.Xmodmap (named this way so that RH 6.2 and I presume later RH releases) will read it when I login. (If you're not using RH, then you will need to run 'xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap' yourself to enable these keys). The content of this file is:
keycode 115=F13
keycode 116=F14
keycode 117=F15
Now use the control panel to bind these keys to some useful actions! (Just press one of the windows keys when selecting a key to bind an action to and FX will be shown where X is 13, 14 or 15 depending on the key pressed).
NB To find out the keycode for a key, run the xev program from a terminal and press a key, you should be able to read the keycode from the text in the terminal.

Euro currency is comming and I'm not able to insert the symbol with [AltGr + e] on my German Keyboard. It's a TrueType-only system setup, I have no problems to see the sign on webpages, I can display the kword euro testdoc - no problems - but I can not insert it via keyboard.
Has anybody a tip?

Well, I have to work rather seldom with windows. But sometimes it happens that I use Ctrl-Alt-F1 or something similar and strange things happen than.
Knowing that this is an XFree isuue I whish some kind of configuration for my Win-System to open a conole on that keybinding ;-)
Have fun
Did KC leave out Mac-like themes debate, Mosfet's childlike reaction and the cvs struggle by intention? Why?
Probably not, as far as I know, KC KDE tries to summarize completed threads and not threads in progress. It's possible those threads weren't complete by the time the issue was written; also notice that the issue covers up to 13 Jun.
(notice my dept line, btw :)
As for liquid, I will probably include that in an eyecandy article soon. And the whole Mosfet/cvs thing has really gotten enough of a whole lot of exposure anyway.
It probably feels that way to you, but most users are not really aware of what has been happening and why. The discussion has stayed on mailing lists and has not found its way to most KDE news sites.
Many users are a bit surprised when they hear the news. Some get the feeling that there is a big secret here. Calmly and maturely acknowledge the situation and they will alleviate that. They will see you are just dealing as best you can.
But you do what you wish. I can only imagine at how unpleasant this sutuation must have been for you all. If you feel better simply moving on, simply move on. I'll do my best to reassure users one by one. :-)
Well, probably because of the same reason why you couldn't read too much about a Gnome release coordinator stepping down on Gnotices ;).
About the Mosfet-stuff: I really don't think it's worth too much mentioning. It has already been discussed exhaustively and not too objectively elsewhere, I think it's probably better to let the situation calm down. Especially as it really is only a very minor irritation, which only got more attention because of the Gnome coordinator resigning a few days earlier.
I think it will be mentioned not as an extra article on Gnotices but in the GNOME summary. Navindra is right when pointing out that summaries lag.
Only a very minor irritation? As mentioned on Slashdot it's the biggest irritation within KDE for at least 1 year.
Whatever is mentioned on slashdot is not relevant here.
>> Whatever is mentioned on slashdot is not relevant here.
Yes it is. Just as if NBC Nightly News did a report on KDE, it would be relevant here. Like it or not, Slashdot is a seriously heavyweight news source - Wired, Salon, and even MSNBC, along with several other news sources pull from it, and just about everybody in the industry can hear about a story that appears on it. I would imagine that there is not a *nix oriented company; probably not even a major IT related company that does not have several vocal people who read Slashdot regularly. Certainly IBM, Sun and Microsoft do - they have all dealt at a professional level with the editors regarding stories in the past year.
Once large corporations issue official responses to stories on a website, that website carries weight. And as such, it very much is relevant. Even if you think Slashdot posts inflammatory fluff. Especially if you think Slashdot posts inflammatory fluff. And really - IMHO, their stories tend to be less opinioned and inflammatory than ZDNet or CNet.
Slashdot is not a news site, it's a flaming and trolling site.
>their stories tend to be less opinioned and inflammatory than ZDNet or CNet.
That doesn't take much! After all, CNet are the people who repeatedly called linux an "upstart OS", and ZDNet used to distribute copies of the kernel and some spartan shell tools (and only this), and claim that you could install a working linux OS on your system with only that.
Oh, I forgot the dot is the only page in the universe with proper arguments. All others only contain propaganda against KDE.
Ah, I had a feeling that was why you brought this up. Glad that KDE had a little flamewar, aren't you?
Oh well, it's only about a few *styles*, not about any major decisions regarding KDE's direction.
> Ah, I had a feeling that was why you brought this up. Glad that KDE had a little flamewar, aren't you?
Why? I mentioned it was calm for years. Why do you argue that this is not true because I wrote
it was pointed out on Slashdot? Idiotic logic.
Only one who got flamed is Slashdot in my eyes.
> Oh well, it's only about a few *styles*, not about any major decisions regarding KDE's direction.
KC covers more than only "major direction decisions".
Slashdot needs flamed.
English you needs learned.
(I assume that English is your native language. If this isn't the case, please ignore this flame.)
But the summary did include a link to the mailing list, where you can read the entire story.
"As mentioned on Slashdot it's the biggest irritation within KDE for at least 1 year"
Perhaps what I wrote has been misinterpreted. What I meant to indicate was how peaceful and rational almost all the discussion on the KDE mailing lists was. So, this Mosfet thing, minor as it is, is the worst it's got for ages :)
I didn't mean to make it sound like Mosfet's petulance was important, but to emphasise how flame-free KDE usually is.
Mosfet's departure is a big blow to KDE as he is a very talented programmer and artist. There are also a number of issues that have been raised by the whole affair that need to be discussed, like whether or not a developer should have the right to remove code that he has already contributed to a project.
Also, if the whole thing has been covered badly elsewhere, shouldn't it be covered accurately and fairly in at least one forum (here)? Otherwise people will end-up with a distorted understanding of the whole thing.
Mosfet is back on now track.
Mosfet is back on track now.
"Well, it looks like I'll be being funded to continue my work independently. This means that things like Pixie and Liquid and all the other stuff will continue to be developed by me outside of KDE CVS (all I wanted to do in the first place). Please note that much of my code such as Liquid, Megagradient, and many of the style engines in the CVS were re-added, but those are no longer my versions, they are forks. My versions will be released under a new name shortly. I think you will be happy with them ;-)
Of course, the licensing will remain the same (this won't be proprietary software).
I can clarify this.
Initially I planned on covering the thread regarding the Liquid announcement. However, the situation ignited pretty much the same time as I wanted to cover it.
I would either have to leave those events out and write a summary already outdated on the moment it would be published. Or I could include them but only include some of the earliest posts, leaving more questions than answers, a lot of room for flamebait and incomplete or partial arguments.
Therefore I decided not to cover it at all for last week, I believe the issue has been covered enough in various places already and my personal opinion isn't much more than "ok, Mosfet and KDE don't get along anymore, that sucks, now let's move on and get back to coding".
I still plan to do a summary on the events for next weeks issue, but I will focus on the new maintainers of the reimported styles.
I've looked over the kde-devel list and that liquid theme sounds really cool...
Unfortunately, all of the pointers to the tarballs & screenshots have disappeared.
Does anyone know where one can go to see what all the fuss was about? (URL)
Liquid should still be available from apps.kde.com or else there is a low bandwidth mirror on http://capsi.com/~cap/mosfet-liquid0.1.tar.gz (please, only if you must)
The very short story is: Mosfet wanted it in kdelibs right now, others thought that the timing was not a good idea (2.2 Beta1 freeze) and the place was not a good idea either (there's kdeartwork now). This wasn't the first time such a situation was present, so Mosfet felt critized and others felt that he should give in a bit because for the benefit of the masses (the KDE users).
I just grabbed the latest from CVS and I have to say it's great, but there's one thing that bugs me. In Konqueror, whenever a link is clicked on, a box appears around it, presumably to let me know that I indeed am using my mouse properly. I can't stand the box and I can't find any way to turn it off; is there a way or am I stuck with it?
KControl -> Peripherals -> Mouse -> Disable "Visual feedback on activation"
.. and you are happy again :-)
Ahh, but this only applies to icons (at least on my copy .. ) In the browser it still has visual feedback on links (I would have reported this as a bug but it does indeed say "Icons" over the frame for visual feedback). Konqueror is so damn cool, though, that I think I can let this pass (as long as we don't also get the 'click' that internet explorer uses!) =)
Thanks guys, KDE rules.
Hmm, what's wrong with a little more user feedback in konq ? You're telling me you know perfectly well when you've clicked a link or not ? I surely don't.
I'm sorry, but that's a pointless question. I don't like the feedback. Period. You know (or should know) that this is a completely subjective issue and thus your views aren't any more "right" than mine. If I dislike the feedback, I dislike it. And, might I add, I do.. :)
I do know when I've clicked on a link, yes, I don't need a box or noise telling me so. The annoyance of the rare times I miss a link is a lot less than the annoyance of a big box popping up around it every time I don't.
Well it's not really a subjective issue in the case of how a lot of users experience browsing with konqueror. Perhaps you always hit the link correctly, but there are a lot of users that don't and would appreciate some sort of feedback that (for example) the host is just being contacted at the time. I think one can easily say that this sort of feedback will give most (novice) users a better feeling about both how they know they clicked a link and whether or not something is being done about it at that very moment (perceived speed). I do agree these things should be made optional though.
Exactly my point, you see... :) Most novice users will appreciate it. Not all not-so-novice users will. Thus it's subjective. I understand the KDE guys' feelings on configuration options, though, it seems that everyone is requesting something to be configurable. It's no big deal, I just hack the source when things I don't like appear (such as the logout/lock screen buttons on the tray).
What I meant was that I don't think it's completely subjective wether or not it's a good idea to have those feedback features in khtml, as I think there are more novice users that could benefit from it (compared to experienced users who can change it themselves anyway).
Whatever. With regard to the configuration options, I had a discussion about this on #kde the other day. We concluded it might not be a bad idea to have an advanced 'tree' (Ms IE->tools->internet options->advanced) which could be used to toggle, select, name etc things. Novice users won't need to get into this tree as the most used options are present in the config dialogs as they are now.
Perhaps an idea ?
I thought it was my web coding that was wrong when I saw this.
Hopefuly we can turn it off in the future.
KDE severly lacks some collaboration tools,and
autodiscovery services.
have the KDE developers considered e.g. slp
(service location protocol) , see www.openslp.org.
at a superficial glance, this seems to be the same purpose the lisa stuff in kdenetwork serves (the lan: ioslave).
OpenSLP looks good too though... a bit more through, perhaps (from a very brief glance at their page)
I think that a big bonus to SLP is that it is an RFC standard and is used more widly than LISA (which seems completely KDE specific). SLP is used for autodiscovery in Novell networks, MS Win2K networks and by Caldera Volution networks plus others that I can't remember off the top of my head. Playing nice with others is always a good thing, NIH is not.
Which mailing lists are you covering in Kernel Cousin KDE?
Aaron covers kde-core-devel, kde-devel, koffice-devel, kfm-devel and some others.. kdevelop-devel and kde-artists I believe..
And I cover kde-promo, konq-e, kde-games-devel although I might summarize threads from kde-devel and kde-core-devel if I see something I'd like to cover.
Are we missing important lists? Want to join? :-)
Just drop us a note or subscribe to kc-kde (http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kc-kde) and introduce yourself!
The internet keywords of konqueror are great but the ':' you must type after them is a bit long to type.
It would be great if you changed it to work like Opera, where you can just type 'g whatever' and it searches for whatever!
Do you have a really weird keyboard or something? ':' takes just about NO effort to type on my standard US keyboard - just hit shift with left hand and push down with my right pinky. : : : : : :)
But not everyone is using a US keyboard.
And to type ':', you have to use shift. To type 'g', you don't have to use shift. That makes a difference.
And pressing shift is so hard because.... ? Do most people lack the ability to move their hands independent of each other? ;)

|Organic Standards
|The organic standards describe the specific requirements that must be verified by a USDA-accredited certifying agent before products can be labeled USDA organic. Overall, organic operations must demonstrate that they are protecting natural resources, conserving biodiversity, and using only approved substances. A brief summary is provided below.
Organic crops. The USDA organic seal verifies that irradiation, sewage sludge, synthetic fertilizers, prohibited pesticides, and genetically modified organisms were not used.Organic livestock. The USDA organic seal verifies that producers met animal health and welfare standards, did not use antibiotics or growth hormones, used 100% organic feed, and provided animals with access to the outdoors.Organic multi-ingredient foods. The USDA organic seal verifies that the product has 95% or more certified organic content. If the label claims that it was made with specified organic ingredients, you can be sure that those specific ingredients are certified organic.Regulatory Process
The NOP develops the laws that regulate the creation, production, handling, labeling, trade, and enforcement of all USDA organic products. This process, commonly referred to as rulemaking, involves input from the National Organic Standards Board (a Federal Advisory Committee made up of fifteen members of the public) and the public. Learn more.
Regulatory References
USDA organic regulations. 7 CFR Section 205 includes all USDA organic standards, including prohibited practices, requirements, and the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Materials.
Program Handbook. This compilation of guidance documents, policy memos, and instructions is intended to clarify policies and assist those who own, manage, or certify organic operations with complying with NOP regulations.
Draft Guidance. To increase their quality and transparency, the NOP first publishes guidance documents in draft form with request for public comments.
Practice Standards. Specific guidelines and requirements that organic producers and handlers must address in their organic system plan. This page provides information on practice standards that have been recently published or are currently in development.
Periodic Residue Testing. Beginning January 1, 2013 organic certifying agents must test samples from at least 5 percent of the operations they certify on an annual basis. The following resources help certifying agents comply with these additional residue testing requirements:

DNA methylation

I have a question conserning DNA methylation
In my book there is a question concerning that there is 2 different uses of methylation
in eukaryotes and prokaryotes and that these different task should be explained how they differ
I know that in eukaryotic cells there is a function of methylation that changes the chromatin structure
which makes the gene "silent" by compresse it harder.
In prokaryotic cells the methylation act as a DNA controll machanism so that foreign DNA will get degraded
by the restriction enzyme in the cell by methylate the native DNA.
But i still dont understand how these two different type of processes should be
compared to eachother
ty for answering!
September 12, 2011 at 9:25 pm #106311antonyviridaeParticipant
In regards to the prokaryotic methylation, it also work in reverse. When DNA is methylated, some restriction enzymes are unable to cut the DNA. What do you mean by how to compare them? Their both secondary modifications to DNA, for one.
October 2, 2011 at 2:55 pm #106545mervParticipant
DNA methylation has different hallmarks in eukaryotes compared to prokaryotes. For example, eukaroytes favour the methylation of C when it appears in combination preceding G, referred to as CpG (where the p refers to the phosphate link of course). Bacteria will easily methylate cytosine as well but also adenine, and the pattern for cytosines is not restricted to CpG nor is the pattern remotely similar for adenine (e.g. GATC is a frequently modified motif in bacterial DNA). The reason of course is they produce different enzymes with the necessary capabilities.
One of the similarities between eukaryotes and prokaryotes is that when DNA is copied, the new strand is temporarily unmethylated; this allows the repair mechanisms to identify which of the copies is the new one, and so mutations introduced at this stage are repaired with a high level of accuracy (fidelilty).
The most commonly cited reasons (aside from DNA repair which is good enough reason for most people!) for methylation deployment are different when one looks at the two kingdoms of life: in bacteria, bacterial viruses (bacteriophages, or phages) have unmethylated DNA, and so they are targeted for deletion by unmethylated-DNA-destroying enzymes (DNAses). Eukaryotes usually require the promoter regions to have methylated DNA to identify them to promoter binding enzymes as active. This patterning in promoter methylation transfers to the next generation when a cell divides, but is reset to nil in the zygote, thus allowing pluripotent capability which would obviously be damaging to a developed organism in most cases but prevents possibly useful development e.g. amputated limb regrowth.
However this is a simplification: Bacteria use methylation for other reasons (e.g. origin of replication is heavily methylated), and so do Eukaryotes.
