I wasn't sure where to put this so if its in the wrong spot, sorry, and feel free to move it...
I am going to be moving my mare from a boarding situation to my own property in March or April at the latest so I am stocking up on supplies and making sure everything is ready and set up for when I finally bring her home to live with me. My question is which is better hay bags (with the single whole in the front) or hay nets. To me it seems like it would be user preference but I could also see the hay nets being easy for them to tear apart or get stuck in. I`m a worry wart so I could see the worst even if the chances are 1 in a million.
I have thought about many feeding options and due to my mare I think a slow feeder would be the best situation for her. It is suspected she has foundered in the past so we decided the safest bet is to provide her hay in a slow feeder to avoid possible founder in the future but to keep the constant forage still in front of her. She will have a large paddock where she will have 24/7 turnout w/ shelter but is kept as a dry lot to avoid her getting rich grasses.
Her current feed program is free feed blue grass 24/7 in a 5 acre dry lotted pasture with 8 - 10 other mares (all are rotated to a 20 acre pasture unless a possible founder case like my mare who then stays on the dry lot). She has done fine without having the worry of founder but once she is by herself (or at maximum 2 other horses) I worry that she will be getting too much feed if I continue to free feed the large bales like we do where she is boarded. Part of this reason is she is the bottom of the totem pole right now and the others keep her off the feed so I haven't been concerned with founder. Of course I do make sure she is getting enough feed and we add an extra pile or two so that when she does get run off, she still has hay to go to, plus its winter and often below freezing here, so the extra feed isn't hurting her right now but come spring everything changes and I am going to have to change her feed program. She does not need or get anything else but hay and a free choice mineral/selenium block. She is a healthy younger horse and a very easy keeper.
1) Hay bag vs. hay net?
2) other slow feed solutions?
3) recommended feed programs for foundered horses?
I am also going to call and ask my vet what she thinks but I am curious what others here have to say as well. Can't ever get too much info

Marvellous Marc takes win No.11Comment on this story
Silverstone, Northamptonshire – Normal service was resumed at the British Motorcycle Grand Prix after a slight blip two weeks earlier in the Czech Republic, as Honda's defending world champion took his 11th win of the season from pole position, after a race-long battle with Yamaha factory rider Jorge Lorenzo, while the latter's team mate Valentino Rossi became the most experienced rider in the history of the premier class with a record 246 starts, and celebrated by taking third away from Dani Pesdrosa in the dying stages.
Gauteng teen Brad Binder, however had a rough day at the office, battling home 15th on the Mahindra for a solitary point and hanging on to 11th place in the Moto3 standings.
Lorenzo got a flier off third on the grid to lead the pack into the first corner and put his head down to try for an early break, but couldn't shake off Marquez who followed close behind, the two never more than half a second apart.
Rossi, starting sixth, tucked in behind Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati) and Aleix Espargarò on the Forward Yamaha in fifth. The opening laps saw Rossi and Espargarò going at it hammer and tongs until Rossi dived past into Stow and set off after the Ducati.
With 16 laps left the Doctor snatched third and began reeling in the leaders, only to be blitzed by a hard-charging Pedrosa four laps later. Eight laps from the end, however, Rossi re-took third, but was too far behind to pose a threat to the leaders.
A lap later Marquez made his move at Stow, but ran with five laps left, allowing Lorenzo back in front – but two laps later Marquez put in an aggressive move going into Village.
Lorenzo held on but a near collision in the Loop forced him wide and back into second, coming home just 0.732sec adrift, while Rossi held off Pedrosa by just 0.175s and Dovizioso by 0.544s for the final podium spot.
Pol Espargaro (Monster Yamaha Tech3) came out on top of a battle for sixth as he continued to impression his rookie season, while Stefan Bradl (Honda), Andrea Iannone (Ducati), Aleix Espargaro and top British finisher Scott Redding (Honda Gresini) rounded out the top 10.
Championship leader Tito Rabat put in a brilliant ride from fourth on the grid, staying with the front group all the way and making a move on Mika Kallio in the final stages, to take the win by just 0.063s, with Maverick Viñales only 0.14s adrift in third for an all-Kalex podium.
Pole man Johann Zarco (Caterham Suter) came home fourth, 2.571s down, with Thomas Luthi (Suter) and Franco Morbidelli (Kalex) picked up valuable points for fifth and sixth respectively .
Local hero Sam Lowes (Speed Up) and Kalex riders Hafizh Syahrin, Mattia Pasini and Axel Pons completed the top 10.
Dakota Mamola, teenage son of former GP star Randy Mamola, had a difficult maiden Grand Prix; he was forced into the pits by a technical problem but later rejoined for some invaluable race experience.
Also battling was 50-year-old veteran Jeremy McWilliams, out for the first time on the new Taylor Made machine for Brough Superior Racing - despite a broken nose sustained in a crash during Saturday's practice. He was lapped by the frontrunners with three laps to go but collected crucial data for the team.
Pole man Alex Rins was pushed right to the limit by his Honda team-mate Alex Marquez (Marc's younger brother!) and by KTM rider Ena Bastianini each of whom led at one stage. Rins eventually took a nailbiting win by just 0.011s from Marquez with Bastianini half a tenth further back – and Mahindra's Miguel Oliviera who ran with them all the way, was another 0.51s away from a podium in fourth.
KTM riders Jakub Kornfeil, Jack Miller and Niccolo Antonelli finished in that order in less than .2s after a race-long dice, with Husqvarna team-mates Danny Kent and Niklas Ajo rounding out the top 10.

Embedding Your Survey on a Website (Classic Version)
|This article describes Classic Website Collectors. Which version am I using?
Website Collectors allow you to collect survey responses from people who visit a page of your website. You can embed a survey into a webpage or have the survey or a survey invitation pop up when people visit a specific page. All you need to do is copy and paste a small script into the HTML of the webpage.
To create a Website Collector:
- Go to the Collect Responses section of your survey.
- Choose Website Collector and click Next. (If you already have a collector for your survey, click + New Collector from the top-right corner of the collector list.)
- Choose a website survey type: Embed, Invitation Popup, or Survey Popup.
- Edit the Display Options and click Save. If you don't click save, your collector status will remain NOT CONFIGURED.
- Click Change Settings and Change Restrictions from the grey menu on the left to customize the collector options.
- Click Website Collector from the grey menu on the left to preview the survey.
- Copy and paste the website code into your web page. Do not edit the code!
Website Survey Types
Click a website survey type below for more information:
The Embed Website Collector allows you to place your survey directly into a page on your website. Anyone who visits the page will see the survey. Important things to note:
- Hide survey once completed or closed: You can select this under Display Options. The survey doesn't close or disappear from the webpage when the response is submitted—respondents see a thank you message. The survey doesn't load again on that browser unless the respondent clears their cookies.
- Survey completion option: When using an Embed Website Collector, there is no survey completion option in the collector settings, so you can't redirect respondents to a webpage or close the survey window upon completion. This is to avoid nesting pages since the survey is embedded in your webpage.
Invitation Popups opens a browser window with an invitation to take your survey when someone visits a specific page on your website. The invitation gives people the option to take the survey Now, Later, or Never.
- Now: The survey opens in the window.
- Later: We place a cookie in the respondent's browser that prevents the invitation from popping up again for one hour.
- Never: The invitation will not pop up again when the webpage is accessed on the same browser.
Pop-ups use cookies to prevent the invitation window from appearing if someone has already answered or declined a survey. If someone visits your site using a browser that blocks cookies or third-party cookies, there is no way to remember whether they have taken the survey or if they clicked Never.
Under the Display Options, you can decide how often you'd like the survey to pop up based on page visits. For example, if you set the frequency to pop up every 1 visitor(s), the survey pops up each time someone visits the page.
Survey Popups open a new browser window with your survey when someone visits a specific page on your website. A new browser window containing the survey opens automatically when a person visits that page.
Under the Display Options, you can decide how often you'd like the survey to pop up based on page visits. For example, if you set the frequency to pop up every 1 visitor(s), the survey pops up each time someone visits the page.
If you select continue to pop up until respondent completes survey, we'll place a cookie on the respondents browser so we know not to pop up the survey after they complete it.
You can add your survey to a wordpress.org (not wordpress.com) page using the Embed website survey type. Under Display Options, select Support WordPress (use an iframe). You must be an administrator (or a super admin if you have a multi-site wordpress.org network) to add the iframe code.

Jay Scott
Jay Scott was the pen name of Jeffrey Scott Beaven (1949 – July 30, 1993), a Canadian film critic.
Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, Scott fled to Canada in 1969 as a draft dodger. He settled in Calgary, and began writing film reviews for the Calgary Albertan a few years later. He won a National Newspaper Award in 1975, and moved to Toronto when he was hired by The Globe and Mail in 1977.
With the Globe and Mail, Scott became Canada's most influential film critic, and is still widely remembered as one of the best and most influential film critics in the history of Canadian journalism.[1]
Openly gay, he died of AIDS-related causes in 1993.[2] He wrote for the Globe and Mail until his death.
A collection of his reviews, Great Scott! The Best of Jay Scott's Movie Reviews, was published posthumously in 1994. Proceeds from the book sales were donated to the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research.

I have a View Model that represents a total bill and list of parties that are splitting the bill. The parties splitting the bill each take a certain percentage of the total (example: Party A takes 50%, Party B takes 20%, Party C takes 30%).
The model looks something like this:
public class BillModel
public int Total { get; set; }
public List<BillPartyModel> Parties { get; set; }
public class BillPartyModel
public string Name { get; set; }
public int SplitPercentage { get; set; }
Basically, I want to validate that the
SplitPercentage for all parties totals to exactly 100. I was initially tempted to add custom validation attribute to
SplitPercentage, but I'm not sure how to sum all the values in the validator. Could I perhaps add a custom validation attribute to
Parties in the main model (and how would that work)? Or does someone know a better way to do this?
EDIT: I did as suggested below and ended up with this (using DataAnnotationsExtensions for the EqualTo tag):
[EqualTo("TotalPercent", ErrorMessage = "Percentages do not add up to 100%.")]
public int SplitPercentage { get { return this.Allocations.Sum(a => a.Allocation); } }
public int TotalPercent { get { return 100; } }
@Html.HiddenFor(m => m.SplitPercentage)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.SplitPercentage)
@Html.EditorFor(m => m.BillPartyModel)
...And then I just use a JavaScript OnChange event to update the AllocationTotal in order to get Client-Side validation.

The popularity of this textbook of medicine is shown by the fact that the present edition is the 11th one that has appeared since the first one 25 years ago. The list of contributors includes distinguished teachers and lecturers. Since the 10th edition, several sections have been largely rewritten and revised. In general the pattern followed in the description of diseases includes etiology, morbid anatomy and pathology, symptoms and signs, prognosis, and treatment. The rapidly changing field of therapeutics makes it difficult to keep sections on treatment in a book of this kind up-to-date. This is particularly true in infectious disease. The illustrations and plates are appropriately selected and well placed. The sections on infectious disease, cardiovascular disease, renal disease, and diseases of the nervous system are outstanding. In addition to the regular text, the book contains three appendixes that deal with (1) examination for life assurance, (2) the sulfonamides

November 26, 2015
By BRUCE SCHREINER
Associated Press Writer
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - William E. McAnulty Jr. was remembered as a fun-loving man who "broke down barriers" as family and friends paid tribute Monday to Kentucky's first black Supreme Court justice.
McAnulty, 59, died of cancer last Thursday, two weeks after stepping down from the high court. He was appointed to the Supreme Court last summer by Gov. Ernie Fletcher, then won election to a full term in November.
An overflow crowd that included Gov. Ernie Fletcher, Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson and McAnulty's fellow judges gathered at Highland Presbyterian Church where McAnulty was remembered in prayer, song and eulogy.
The Rev. Fairfax F. Fair, the church's pastor, said McAnulty was known as someone "with a big heart, a willing spirit and a generous nature."
"Bill was a man who triumphed over barriers and who broke down barriers," she said.
The crowd laughed when McAnulty's sister, the Rev. Jean McAnulty Smith, remembered her brother for his eccentric gift-giving and his love of music. She said her brother once was mistaken for the singer Smokey Robinson, adding "that fantasy didn't materialize."
The Rev. Kevin Cosby, a Baptist pastor in Louisville, said McAnulty remained connected to the poor and marginalized even as he gained influence as judge.
"We are a better community because of William McAnulty," Cosby said.
McAnulty became a judge in 1975 on the former Jefferson Juvenile Court, then moved up to become a district judge. He served as Justice Cabinet secretary under former Gov. John Y. Brown Jr., and went on to win election to the Kentucky Court of Appeals in 1998.

Besides getting plenty of bed rest, these steps can help relieve symptoms of mononucleosis:
Take an over-the-counter pain reliever. Use pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) as needed. These medicines have no antiviral properties. Take them only to relieve pain or a fever.
Use caution when giving aspirin to children or teenagers. Though aspirin is approved for use in children older than age 2, children and teenagers recovering from chickenpox or flu-like symptoms should never take aspirin. This is because aspirin has been linked to Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, in such children.
Most signs and symptoms of mononucleosis ease within a few weeks, but it may be two to three months before you feel completely normal. The more rest you get, the sooner you should recover. Returning to your usual schedule too soon can increase the risk of a relapse.
To avoid risk of rupturing your spleen, wait at least one month before returning to vigorous activities, heavy lifting, roughhousing or contact sports. Rupture of the spleen results in severe bleeding and is a medical emergency.
Ask your doctor when it's safe for you to resume your normal level of activity. Your doctor may recommend a gradual exercise program to help you rebuild your strength as you recover.

Tried it, hated it.
X-Men Wolverine was far mroe better (same engine)
Seems pretty crap.
Agreed Wolverine was better but compared to Terminator Salvation this game is superb!
it has its moments but not worth the money at the moment.

Also, Personally, ( no offense to console players ), I hate it when they convert a obvious console game to PC, I remember when a PC game was actually a PC game, not just a console game tweaked so its playable on a PC. Mainly XBOX 360.
They can never get the interface just right cause you have to remember that the controls are completely different keyboard and mouse vs 360 pad controller will never really work.

2. If the wires were reversed and I turned the burner on, could that cause the fan in the vent hood to short out even if the vent hood is on a different circuit breaker than the stove. (The stove is completely on it's own breaker, the vent hood/fan is on a different one.) And, the replacement element is exactly the same as the old one, same part number (7526844, two wire). I think it was unused old stock because it looks brand new or was only used a few times.
The odd thing that happened is that I was heating a little oil in a pan on the new burner, the oil started to smoke so I grabbed the pan, lifted it a few inches and at the same time turned the vent hood fan switch on. Almost immediately, there was a pop and a spark and the fan was dead. The breaker on the electrical panel in the basement had gotten flipped I discovered. And then, I noticed a small black mark on the aluminum mesh vent/fan filter (bowl shaped variety). So I removed the filter and noticed that one of the wires to the fan motor was all gummy feeling. I don't know if this failure had anything to do with the new burner element, was some random failure, or if what actually happened is that some of the vaporized hot oil from the pan got sucked up into the fan or maybe there was enough spatter, that the oil actually went through the the aluminum mesh filter, melted the plastic around the wire and that's what caused the short when I turned the fan on. But, if something about the wiring of the new element caused this then I need to fix that first before repairing the fan. The fan still runs but I probably need to replace it, or maybe just the portion of the wiring that got shorted out and melted the plastic casing around it. (I taped over the switch to prevent anyone from turning the fan on until it's safe.)

CEO, Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers Limited, Dr. Demola Sogunle
Nnamdi Duru
Peding the raising of the limits of pension assets that could be invested in company equities and corporate bonds by the next quarter, company executives who may be warming up to accessing such funds have been warned to get their minds off it.
They have been told that raising this bar may not make any difference for most of them because pension fund operators will only investment in companies that offers them the ideal fundamentals in terms of investment returns and safety of funds.
The Chief Executive Officer of Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers Limited, Dr. Demola Sogunle, stated the obvious in an exclusive interview with THISDAY in Lagos.
According to him, the decision by the regulator to raise the level of pension funds that could be invested in equities, corporate bonds and infrastructure may not make any difference in the market, going by realities on ground.
"Whilst pension fund belong to contributors and the investment horizon is medium to long term, we typically seek to achieve reasonable risk-adjusted returns for them and so we will be chasing investment opportunities that guarantee optimal returns. Where the stock market can satisfy this objective, PFAs will be encouraged to invest.
"Some key considerations for PFAs aside from strong financials are the issues of corporate governance and quality of management of listed companies. Thus, increasing the bar in itself will not automatically translate to increased investments in the equities market," he said.
He also bared his mind on the agitation for the investment of pension assets to improve infrastructure across the country, saying there is still a very long way to go in this regard.
"Pension funds are allowed to invest in infrastructure either through infrastructure funds or infrastructure bonds. However, despite the allocated limit to this asset class, investment by PFAs is presently very low because of lack of eligible instruments. Therefore, raising the bar is not the problem but availability of eligible investment propositions.
"We recognise the significant impact that pension funds can play in infrastructural development, it is important that the appropriate structures to guarantee safe of investments are put in place. Products that meet the investment guidelines also need to be made available for the investment of pension funds. Currently, such structures barely exist and any investments made without it may not positively influence the fund value," Sogunle said.
The National Pension Commission (PenCom) said it would soon release an updated investment regulation to give teeth to its decision to give Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) more options for the investment of the pension assets under their management.
This was in furtherance with the commission's decision to create more investment options for pension assets in response to stakeholders' complaints that fund managers were not given a free hand to invest pension assets using their skills and experience to maximise returns on funds under management.
The commission confirmed this in a statement titled, 'Amendment to the Regulation on Investment of Pension Fund Assets'.
According to the commission its investment regulation has been revised to accommodate more investment options, adding that before the end of this quarter, the commission would release an updated version of its investment regulation to formally give more investment option for pension assets.
The pension regulator stated its expectation that in this quarter, the operators would embark on public education, preparatory for the implementation of the new categories of investment options created recently.
"The regulation on Investment of Pension Fund Assets (Regulation) had been further revised in response to the dynamics of the financial and regulatory environment. The major highlights include the introduction of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) as allowable instruments; and incorporation of Guidelines on Global Depository Receipts/Notes (GDRs/GDNs) and Eurobonds, amongst others. The regulation becomes effective from 17 December, 2012.
"The new Multi-fund Structure for Retirement Savings Account (RSA) Funds would be incorporated into the amended Regulation in the 1st Quarter of 2013. This is to provide ample time for the commencement of a public education/sensitisation campaign on the multi-fund structure by the commission as well as for licensed Pension Fund Operators (PenOp) to be operationally ready to implement same," the commission stated.
In the last quarter of last year, PenCom responded positively to stakeholders' complaints that contributors were not given opportunity to maximise returns on their accumulated savings because fund managers were not free to invest using their skills and experience to maximise returns on funds under management.
The commission introduced four new types of funds, such that pension contributors could determine the instruments in which accumulated retirement savings should be invested.

Mini-Mes in training!
Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey's two-month-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan, are already taking after mom and dad.
"My son is laid-back like me," Cannon, 30, told Us Weekly Tuesday at the Mercedes-Benz Gala opening in New York. "My daughter's a diva like her mom!"
How can the first-time dad tell already that his baby girl is a diva? "When my daughter wants something, she'll let you know immediately," he laughed. "With [our son], you kind of feed him when you get around to it, and he's OK with that."
The "America's Got Talent" host said he and Carey, 42, split diaper duty pretty evenly. But Carey is much better at the dirty task. "My diapers tend to leak," Cannon admitted.
So, just how is Cannon's Grammy-winning wife adjusting to motherhood? "She's amazing," he gushed. "She's the best mother ever."

|x86-16 (with MMU)
|PGA, CLCC and PLCC 68-pin
|Intel 80186
|Intel 80386
The Intel 80286[1] (also called iAPX 286), introduced on 1 February 1982, was a 16-bit x86 microprocessor with 134,000 transistors. Like its contemporary simpler cousin, the 80186, it could correctly execute most software written for the earlier Intel 8086 and 8088.[2] It was employed for the IBM PC/AT, introduced in 1984, and then widely used in most PC/AT compatible computers until the early 1990s.The 80286 is the first member of the family of advanced microprocessors with memory management and wide protection abilities.
After the 6 and 8 MHz initial releases, it was subsequently scaled up to 12.5 MHz. (AMD and Harris later pushed the architecture to speeds as high as 20 MHz and 25 MHz, respectively.) On average, the 80286 had a speed of about 0.21 instructions per clock.[3] The 6 MHz model operated at 0.9 MIPS, the 10 MHz model at 1.5 MIPS, and the 12 MHz model at 1.8 MIPS.[4]
The 80286's performance per clock cycle was more than twice that of its predecessors, the Intel 8086 and Intel 8088. In fact, the performance increase per clock cycle of the 80286 over its immediate predecessor may be the largest among the generations of x86 processors. Calculation of the more complex addressing modes (such as base+index) had less clock penalty because it was performed by a special circuit in the 286; the 8086, its predecessor, had to perform effective address calculation in the general ALU, taking many cycles. Also, complex mathematical operations (such as MUL/DIV) took fewer clock cycles compared to the 8086.
It is a 68-pin microprocessor.It is available in PLCC(Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier), LCC(Lead Less Chip Carrier) and PGA(Pin Grid Array).[5] Having a 24-bit address bus, the 286 was able to address up to 16 MB of RAM, in contrast to 1 MB that the 8086 could directly access. While DOS could utilize this additional RAM (extended memory) via BIOS call (INT 15h, AH=87h), or as RAM disk, or emulation of expanded memory, cost and initial rarity of software utilizing extended memory meant that 286 computers were rarely equipped with more than a megabyte of RAM. Additionally, there was a performance penalty involved in accessing extended memory from real mode, as noted below.
The 286 was designed to run multitasking applications, including communications (such as automated PBXs), real-time process control, and multi-user systems.
The later E-stepping level of the 80286 was a very clean CPU, free of the several significant errata that caused problems for programmers and operating system writers in the earlier B-step and C-step CPUs (common in the AT and AT clones).
An interesting feature of this processor is that it was the first x86 processor with protected mode. Protected mode enabled up to 16 MB of memory to be addressed by the on-chip linear memory management unit (MMU) with 1 GB logical address space. The MMU also provided protection from (crashed or ill-behaved) applications writing outside their allocated memory zones. The MMU and protection mechanisms are enabled only in case of protected mode keeping them disabled in real mode of operation. The use of additional instructions which are helpful for multitasking operating systems are allowed in protected mode of 80286.Another important feature of 80286 is Prevention of Unauthorised Access. This is achieved by:
The 80286 provided built in memory protection mechanisms which was then almost exclusive to mainframes and minicomputers (CPUs like the NS320xx and M68000 needed additional components in order to implement MMU functions) and the large performance enhancements represented by the 80286 and many of its successors would pave the way for the x86 and the IBM PC architecture to extend from low performance personal computers all the way to high-end workstations and servers and even drive the market for other architectures.
In 80286, arithmetic operations can be performed on following different types of numbers:
By design, the 286 could not revert from protected mode to the basic 8086-compatible "real mode" without a hardware-initiated reset. In the PC/AT introduced in 1984, IBM added external circuitry as well as specialized code in the ROM BIOS to enable special series of program instructions to cause the reset, allowing real-mode reentry (while retaining active memory and control). Though it worked correctly, the method imposed a huge performance penalty.
In theory, real-mode applications could be directly executed in 16-bit protected mode if certain rules were followed; however, as many DOS programs broke those rules, protected mode was not widely used until the appearance of its successor, the 32-bit Intel 80386, which was designed to go back and forth between modes easily. When Intel designed the 286, it was not designed to be able to multitask real-mode applications; real mode was intended to be a simple way for a bootstrap loader to prepare the system and then switch to protected mode.
In January 1985, Digital Research previewed Concurrent DOS 286 in cooperation with Intel. The product would function strictly as an 80286 native mode operating system, allowing users to take full advantage of the protected mode to perform multi-user, multitasking operations while running 8086 emulation.[6] This worked on the B-1 prototype step of the chip, but Digital Research discovered problems with the emulation on the production level C-1 step in May, which would not allow Concurrent DOS 286 to run 8086 software in protected mode. The release of Concurrent DOS 286 was delayed until Intel would develop a new version of the chip.[6] In August, after extensive testing E-1 step samples of the 80286, Digital Research acknowledged that Intel corrected all documented 286 errata, but said there were still undocumented chip performance problems with the prerelease version of Concurrent DOS 286 running on the E-1 step. Intel said the approach Digital Research wished to take in emulating 8086 software in protected mode differed from the original specifications. Nevertheless, they implemented minor changes in the microcode that would allow Digital Research to run emulation mode much faster, incorporated into the E-2 step.[7] Named IBM 4680 OS, IBM originally chose DR Concurrent DOS 286 as the basis of their IBM 4680 computer for IBM Plant System products and Point-of-Sale terminals in 1986.[8] The same limitations affected Digital Research's FlexOS 286 version 1.0, a derivation of Concurrent DOS 286, developed in 1986, introduced in January 1987, and later adopted by IBM for their IBM 4690 OS.
The problems led to Bill Gates famously referring to the 80286 as a "brain dead chip",[9] since it was clear that the new Microsoft Windows environment would not be able to run multiple MS-DOS applications with the 286. It was arguably responsible for the split between Microsoft and IBM, since IBM insisted that OS/2, originally a joint venture between IBM and Microsoft, would run on a 286 (and in text mode).

A Comprehensive Plan to Improve
Prepared by President John H. Jacobson
In the fall of 1997, I interviewed many members of the Hope College community to learn their perceptions of the situation and their suggestions for improvement. As a result of those interviews, I recommended to the Board of Trustees that they authorize the formation of a Task Force on Minority Participation at Hope College. They readily agreed to this proposal. In December of 1997 and January of 1998, the Task Force met under the leadership of Trustee Dr. George Zuidema and Provost Dr. Jacob Nyenhuis. The Task Force had 20 members drawn from the faculty, staff, Trustees, students and friends of Hope College. I was also a task force participant.
The Task Force stressed the importance of improving both the recruitment and the retention of members of American minorities to the faculty, student body and staff of Hope College. We observed that the current small number of minority participants was, in itself, a major impediment to recruitment and retention. Our vision was of a Hope College community that would be fully welcoming to all, including members of American minorities. To realize that vision, we proposed a series of goals and recommended a series of strategies to pursue those goals.
One of the task force recommendations was that the president form a Comprehensive Plan for the Improvement of Minority Participation at Hope College and also appoint an officer of the College to work with him to assure that the implementation of the plan would receive the detailed attention and support required for success.
During the summer of 1998, I engaged the Administrative Council, a group of 21 people including the chief officers of the College, in extended discussion of the Task Force's recommendations. Out of those meetings came the Comprehensive Plan that follows. This plan is being reviewed and discussed by administrative and governance committees. It serves as the basis for current and future coordinated efforts to improve minority participation at Hope College.
Members of the Administrative Council are familiar with this plan and would be good persons to contact if anyone has questions or suggestions about the

LONDON, Ky. (WYMT) - The North Laurel Jaguars are off to an impressive 4-2 start to the season, with their losses coming to 5-1 Wayne County and 6-0 Russell County.
Jaguar head coach Chris Larkey says his team is about where they expected to be at this point in the year, and heading into their district game with Pulaski County on Thursday, 1-0 in the district is right where they wanted to be.
"Well, we're kind of where we were, where we thought we were going to be. You know, we knew that probably the best team we were going to play was going to be Russell County, and we played good with them. That's what I was proud of. Our kids have gotten tougher, more physical. They emotionally got better for the games, physically for the games, and mentally for the games. So, you know, I think we're right where we wanted to be. We definitely want to be 1-0 in the district and beat our rival, cross town rival South Laurel, and that's what we did last week," says Larkey.

Yoga for Bronchitis
Yoga for Bronchitis, Yoga and Health
Yoga works greatly on respiratory ailments like bronchitis by increasing the efficiency of the lungs.
Bronchitis is the inflammation of the air passages between the nasal tract and the lungs. It includes the trachea and the windpipe and also the larger air tubes of the lungs that bring in air from the trachea. In bronchitis, the interior linings of the bronchial tubes swell, thereby, reducing their effective diameter. Due to this the amount of air passing through the trachea into the lungs is reduced and so does the quantity of waste gas coming from the lungs. This enhances the production of thicker mucous, which further blocks the air passages.
Bronchitis can be of two types, namely acute and chronic. Acute bronchitis is of short duration and is cured within two weeks while chronic bronchitis persists for much longer duration. Acute bronchitis is usually caused by a bacterial or viral infection while chronic bronchitis is a serious lung disease and is mainly caused due to inhaling respiratory tract irritants. Acute bronchitis mainly occurs during winter and is followed by viral infection like 'cold' or 'flu'. A secondary bacterial infection may also accompany this disease. Chronic bronchitis develops very slowly. Cilia, the hairy outgrowths from the cells that line the respiratory system have slowly become paralyzed and their movement is stopped due to the inhalation of the lung irritants. So, the cilia are no loner able to move the mucus and the airways become clogged.
Yoga can ease most of the breathing problems and bronchitis is one of them. For a person suffering with chronic bronchitis, breathing may become more difficult and the person can feel the tightness in the chest. Due to breathing difficulties less oxygen is inhaled into the body. This may cause the lips and body to turn blue and cause overall tiredness. However, these issues can be solved with regular practice of Yoga. If immediate attention is not given to such breathing troubles, in the advanced stages one will experience chest pains and swollen feet and ankles.
Bronchitis can be treated with medication, but it may reappear if favorable conditions prevail. So the ultimate aim of any bronchial patient is to prevent any sign of infections. The main problem associated with any bronchitis patient is the unavailability of adequate amount of oxygen. A healthy respiratory system is the most crucial step to be obtained in order to curtail the problem of bronchitis.
Yoga is one of the six orthodox systems of Indian philosophy that can be of great help for the sufferers of bronchitis. The continuous practices of asanas bring lightness and an elating feeling in the body and mind and a feeling of oneness of body, mind and soul. A yogi must maintain discipline in diet and lifestyle thus enhancing the effects of the Yoga asanas. There are many asanas that usually prevent the recurrence of bronchitis. Relaxation technique of pranayamas greatly improves the mucociliary clearance. Yoga Asanas like supta virasana, bhujangasana, sirsasana, sarvangasana, viparita dandasana, salabhasana, ustrasana and others can be done to improve lung capacity. Pranayamas can be practiced once the severity of the infection has lessened down. The Yogic exercises for bronchial patients must not be too hard but at the same must ventilate the lungs and increase the oxygen levels in the blood.
Yoga Asanas increases the efficiency of the lungs while retaining its softness. The exchange capacity for gases increases considerably and excess mucus is drained off in a smooth pattern. A pose having forward bends improve blood flow and massage the posterior lobes of the lungs. Poses having backward bend help to remove excess mucus from the bronchial tree. Twisting poses in Yoga squeezes the lateral parts of the lungs thereby improving their function.
Pranayamas, on the other hand, allows more oxygen to enter the lungs through the practice of kumbhaka. The preservation process facilitates deeper infiltration of oxygen, thereby, increasing its chances of being absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood. Ujjayi pranayama is one of the most effective asanas that is practiced in the initial stages of bronchitis as it causes less strain and then one may proceed towards nadi sodhana and surya bhedana pranayamas for the advanced benefits. The breathing exercises of yoga called pranayama are greatly used in bronchitis for the muscles to relax and stay at comfort level. Deep breathing exercise of yoga helps the muscles to obtain fresh air and relax.
Alternate nostril breathing works wonders for the treatment of bronchitis. Yoga helps to decrease the troubles in the circulatory as well as respiratory system, which helps greatly in stress reduction. This improves the health of the individual as well as increases longevity.
Some of the particular Yoga asanas for bronchitis is as follows -
The shoulder lifts poses help to provide pumping effect to the shoulders as well as support the lungs for better activity. Providing exercise to the spine as well as the back, it relieves the muscles of the stiffness and fibrosis condition and also increases its flexibility. This asana provides good tone to the muscles of the body.
The half spine twist is a Yoga pose that strengthens the spine and is highly beneficial for the functioning of the liver and kidneys. The practitioner needs to sit in the lotus position. Then one has to try to turn the head backwards and unfold the legs and take one leg backwards.
Sukhasana helps the body to relax, thus helping to alleviate the problem of bronchitis. One has to sit in a comfortable position by folding both the legs. The hands have to rest on the knees. This yoga posture is also suitable for meditation. This pose also increases concentration and keeps your mind still.
Pawana Muktasana is a great pose to ease in bronchitis. This posture helps to keep the digestive system healthy. Any abnormality in the digestive system can also lead to discomfort in breathing and bronchitis. Hence it is essential that constipation is removed from the body to keep it rejuvenated.
Bronchitis can be controlled if Yoga asanas are practiced from the initial stages. The individual greatly benefits from Yoga not only in the concerned ailment, but in the overall health as well. A fit body and mind alleviates most of the problems of respiratory system. However, these should be done with proper attention and training.
- The Yoga asanas prescribed above should be strictly performed under the supervision of an experienced Yoga teacher.

A Dothan woman reported missing is no longer missing.
Late Tuesday afternoon, Linda Jane Kujawa saw her picture on our 5 o'clock newscast and called the police.
Kujawa told the police she was OK, and they should not consider her missing anymore.
According to her husband, she doesn't want to be contacted nor found, but she is planning to return home soon.
The next question on everyone's mind is -- what's going to happen to her kids?
Dothan Police say that the Department of Human Resources has been contacted, and from there, only time can tell.

CONVERSATIONAL REVIEW: The Serpent Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt
The Serpent Prince is the final volume in the fairy tale trilogy offered by Elizabeth Hoyt. Jayne and I have both enjoyed Hoyt's work despite the accusations of anachronisms. We both would rate the book a B, with me giving the extra plus on the end. The story is about Simon Iddesleigh who is seeking to avenge the honor of his brother, his brother's wife, and his brother's daughter. One of his attempts at vengeance brings him to Lucy Craddock-Hayes, a country bred girl, near death. Lucy nurses him back to health and the two disparate individuals fall in love, but Simon cannot give up his quest and Lucy can't understand it.
The transcript below is a chat that Jayne and I had regarding the book. Some of it is spoilerish and I've tried to denote that but if you don't want to be spoiled at all, please don't read this before you read the book.
***[14:23] Jane: let me bring up the topic that I think might be of concern to readers and that is the violence. Did you think it was more violent than you had read before
[14:24] Jayne: Yes, and I wanted to bring that up too. I liked the fact that Hoyt showed duels as slug 'em out affairs instead of Hollywood Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone prancing about though I there were too many of the standardized movie "close-ups" where duelists could glare at each other over their touching sword hilts.
[14:25] Jane: Yes, they were quite gritty, bloody and generally quite gruesome
[14:25] Jayne: indeed
[14:25] Jane: I thought that her imagery was strong. Did you think it was too violent, i.e., gratuitously so?
[14:26] Jayne: weeeeel, maybe a little bit after the third duel we actually see and Simon's recollection of the first one.
[14:27] Jane: I didn't feel like there was too much violence. In fact, I thought it was important to show how ugly these duels really were in order to convey the emotional growth of Simon. [14:29] Jane: He, on the one hand hated the dueling, the killing. On the other, he felt compelled to finish the task, felt like his honor demanded it
[14:30] Jayne: His honor and Rosalind's
[14:30] Jane: He wasn't. Even after the first one, he appeared resigned. As if this was abhorrent to him but that he couldn't live with himself if he didn't follow through. [14:33] Jayne: Next question: [14:34] Jane: How about Lucy? What did you think of her?
[14:34] Jayne: Why did Lucy turn into such a religious nut at the end? If Hoyt had made her a Quaker or a Methodist then fine, I could understand it but this seemed to come from nowhere. I could understand Lucy being more worried over the state of Simon's soul before I'd go for her blathering on about murder. In the eyes of mid 18C Europe aristocracy, it wasn't murder — it was justice.
[14:34] Jane: I didn't understand the religious underpinning either.
[14:34] Jayne: It came from nowhere and Lucy had to know from the way she found Simon that he has some "issues"
[14:34] Jane: I thought it was the best thing Hoyt could come up with to convey the disstaste Lucy had toward murder. I appreciated the sentiment but not the execution.
[14:35] Jayne: indeed
[14:35] Jane: I.e., I appreciated that the act of murder appalled Lucy because I think too often death is treated blithely in books
[14:35] Jane: I don't think Lucy needed to have a reason to hate the idea of murder, of killing.
[14:36] Jayne: well, there was Simon's soul to worry about. Maybe that's what brought on her violent objections and felt too modern and PC. [14:37] Jane: I never quite get the integration of the fairy tale and maybe that was the genesis of the "soul" thing. It was unnecessary. I think its natural for a person to be disturbed by killing and the way in which Simon was going out of his way to call these men out would be chillingly to anyone.
[14:38] Jayne: maybe the original ending of Simon's tale was meant to convey how he thought his soul would end. He would do what he felt was right but it would kill him in the end.
[14:38] Jane: yes, I agree with that concept. [14:39] Jayne: I did also wonder why would Simon have not used de Raaf as his second for all the duels? I could see why he wouldn't use Pye as Henry wasn't a nobleman but why not use de Raaf? Yeah, okay for the plot but it still doesn't make sense to use someone Simon has just gotten to know over an older friend.
[14:39] Jane: I thought it was the "sequelitis" coming into play. It should have been de Raaf [14:41] Jayne: I did think that for once, the reason behind Simon's need to fight these men makes sense. Most Romance plotlines end with something silly behind it all. Not this one.
[14:41] Jane: yes
[14:42] Jane: It used the historical conventions to provide the external conflict as well as the internal conflict
[14:42] Jayne: well done [14:45] Jane: We've been kind of critical but I loved the story. I really felt emotionally engaged and was moved by the plight of the characters
[14:45] Jayne: Yes, very moved. and Wow, Simon's maids must have had to do a lot of laundry.
[14:45] Jane: lol
[14:45] Jane: the imagery was excellent.
[14:45] Jane: the bloody hand on the white dress
[14:46] Jane: the fingers in his dreams
[14:46] Jane: the scene where Lucy, in her barefeet, vomits at the scene of the duel
[14:46] Jayne: how dark were the colors that Simon's bedroom was decorated in
[14:46] Jane: yes, good call.
[14:46] Jayne: and those red heeled shoes!
[14:46] Jane: yep
[14:47] Jane: that was the best imagery there – the false image of Simon as the lazy dilletante
[14:47] Jane: Is that how you spell it?
[14:47] Jane: he was a dangerous, dangerous man
[14:47] Jayne: the imagery felt very period to me; all dressed up in satin and lace which is one reason I adore 18th C books [14:52] Jayne: anyway back to TSP
[14:52] Jayne: Love how Patricia got Eustace to propose to her — kind of like Scarlet luring Mr. Kennedy after the war by warming her hands in his pockets. Here Eustace, my fichu has come loose. Stick it back down my bodice please. [15:03] Jane: so which was your favorite Hoyt book?
[15:03] Jayne: hmmm, it's a toss up. I liked the emotional connection of the first but the second was more believable. I do wish that Lucy hadn't left Simon. At first, she didn't and I breathed a sigh of relief that the standard Romance cliche got avoided then, bummer, she did leave. Lucy and Simon fell in love awfully quickly but at least they were married before the whoopee started.
[15:04] Jane: Ah, I thought that was very consistent with her characterizations
[15:06] Jayne: I wonder if we'll see Pocket again? I loved her soldiers and warplay. Can't wait for her to get her Naval ship, sailors and Royal Marines. I also loved the images of Simon teaching her to play soldier and comforting her at her father's funeral.
[15:06] Jane: Yes, the relationship that Simon had with Pocket and with Rosalind was very endearing.
[15:07] Jane: Pocket was very endearig.
[15:07] Jayne: Which book did you like the best? Least?
[15:07] Jane: I liked the LP the least. I think RP was my favorite because it was the first Hoyt I had read and there is something special about the first book of a new author that you love. Second would be the Serpent Prince. It had an emotional intensity and a gritty feel to it that isn't often seen in romances
[15:08] Jayne: I noticed that some of the love scenes (not sex) in LP seemed a little derivative of those in RP.
[15:08] Jane: I thought Lucy's characterizations were very believable and that Hoyt didn't diminish the violence; didn't condone it. I thought that the villians were well nuanced. I was disappointed in the ending. But ultimately I felt that Hoyt took me places where few romances recenlty have taken me and I give her high marks for that [15:10] Jayne: yes, I've enjoyed all three books [15:13] Jane: what is your final grade for it?
[15:13] Jayne: B
[15:13] Jane: I would give it a B+

The wide-receiver dominos are beginning to fall -- Santonio Holmes agreed to terms on a five-year deal with the Jets, according to multiple reports.
Holmes was considered one of the priority for this offseason for the Jets, especially given that the Washington Redskins were rumored to be pursuing him as well.
[Related: 2011 NFL Free Agency Tracker]
However the Redskins made their own noise over the past two days in terms of wideouts, re-signing incumbent No. 1 Santana Moss and then inking Donte Stallworth on Wednesday.
Holmes was a critical addition to the Jets in 2010 and despite missing several games because of suspension, still posted big numbers.
The Jets decision to re-up on Holmes contract means it's unlikely that they'll re-sign Braylon Edwards. It also means that we could see a big run on free-agent wideouts in the near future as other free agents now see what the market Bears out and beginning heavier negotiations with other teams.

Yoga assumes classical pose
WASHINGTON — Yoga is moving from the studio mat to the museum gallery.
The Smithsonian Institution has organized what curators believe is the first exhibition about the visual history and art of yoga, its origins and evolution over time.
The Smithsonian's Sackler Gallery will showcase the exhibit, "Yoga: The Art of Transformation," through January. Later, it will travel to the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco and to the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Curators brought together Indian sculptures, manuscripts and paintings, as well as posters, illustrations, photographs and films to showcase yoga's history over 2,000 years.
Museum Director Julian Raby said years of research behind the exhibit shed light on yoga's meanings and histories.
"It examines for the first time a spectacular, but until now largely ignored, archive," he said. "That archive is India's visual culture of extraordinary yoga-related artworks created, as you will see, over some two millennia."
Guest teachers will lead yoga classes in the museum's galleries on Wednesdays and Sundays. The museum will host a symposium for scholars and enthusiasts on yoga's visual culture.
Curator Debra Diamond said the Smithsonian borrowed some of the greatest masterpieces in Indian art as well as pieces that have never been shown before.
The exhibit examines the concepts and practices of yoga traditions, including meditation and postures found in Indian art dating back hundreds of years. The first piece is an 11th century sculpture representing a yoga teacher, seated in the lotus posture with legs crossed to signify enlightenment.
Such sculptures were displayed in Hindu temples so people could see the teacher and "understand yoga's transformative potential," Diamond said.
Three life-size sculptures of yogini goddesses from Hindu temples illustrate the belief that female powers could be used to allow practitioners to achieve divine powers and enlightenment.
Other galleries examine how the idea of yoga was circulated worldwide, Diamond said. Early American posters depict yogis as magicians, along with a 1902 film by Thomas Edison.
The exhibit is funded in part by the Smithsonian's first major crowd-funding campaign, which raised $174,000 in six weeks.

November 30, 2015
Just one day after President Barack Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney held their third and final debate, four third-party candidates debated their prescriptions for the U.S.
The debate was sponsored by the non-partisan Free and Equal Elections foundations and moderated by former CNN host Larry King. The four candidates focused on the economy, U.S. foreign policy and education.
They also discussed U.S. drug policy and other issues that have not received much attention between the two major party candidates. The debate was streamed live online, but the TV networks didn't air it.

Could 'Gangnam style' be a game-changer for the international music scene?
I have tried to ignore it, but Gangnam Style by pop sensation Psy, seems to be playing everywhere. I first became aware of it when I saw the Seoul rapper introduce Britney Spears and Ellen DeGeneres to the dance moves on The Ellen Show a couple of months back. Britney did okay, Ellen did better. The lesson? It's probably better to wear flats rather than very high heels while performing dance moves which mimic a horse.
Then, last week, the website of L'express, one of the main dailies in the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius, featured a YouTube clip of Gangnam Style performed by a group of young Mauritians of diverse ethnicities at Le Caudan waterfront in the capital Port Louis. A young Sino-Mauritian man equipped with the requisite suit, bowtie and dark glasses takes the place of Psy. It has had over 66,000 hits, which is a huge number by Mauritian standards.
There's no doubt that Gangnam Style is a catchy pop tune, with even catchier dance moves. The official YouTube version, with over 716 million visits, is the second most popular in history. Now record executives from Universal Music Group, Psy's record company, are talking up the prospects of other South Korean artists like the nine-strong girl group Girls' Generation, who are popular not only in their home country but in other parts of the Far East. The calculation is that K-pop artists could be an international rather than just a regional success story.
It seems that new mobile technologies, especially smart phones, have created new markets in parts of the world which previously lacked a strong international pop music culture. Furthermore, the belief amongst many leading lights in the recording industry is that for the first time in history, the flow of popular music won't just be from North America and Europe to other parts of the globe, but will move the other way as well. It's no surprise then that the big music companies are scouring the world to find the next big thing According to an article in The Independent today, record executives are convinced that the "British charts will increasingly be filled with foreign-language hits from Asia and South America".
If true, this will be good news for new artists in emerging economies, who are by definition not part of the traditional North Atlantic pop music conveyor belt system. Nevertheless, having listened to Gangnam Style, as well as a number of other K-Pop artists like Girls' Generation there is something that has been overlooked – that is, some of the lyrics as well as the hook line of the globally successful songs are nearly always in English. Even Psy's song is punctuated by "Eh, Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh" which seems to have set a trend. Therefore, it would seem that the necessary ingredient for international pop music stardom (at least of now) is to include something familiar for English speakers.
