As the man leading wrestling's charge to preserve its Olympic status, Nenad Lalovic believes he's done what it takes.
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) ? As the man leading wrestling's charge to preserve its Olympic status, Nenad Lalovic believes he's done what it takes.
Three months after wrestling was surprisingly dropped from the 2020 Games, Lalovic will present a new-look sport and revamped governing body to the IOC on Wednesday in a bid to keep its Olympic place.
"I'm confident," Lalovic, the new president of international federation FILA, said Tuesday. "A lot of people say to me, 'Oh, you won't face any problem here.' But we'll see. We did everything we could. Nothing else was possible.
"We will continue, no matter what we will be decided here. It's a new sport."
Wrestling is competing against seven other sports for a single opening on the 2020 lineup. The others are a combined baseball-softball bid, karate, roller sports, sport climbing, squash, wakeboarding and the Chinese martial art of wushu.
The federations will make closed-door presentations to the IOC executive board, which will decide which sport or sports to recommend to the IOC general assembly for a final vote Sept. 8 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The IOC board will likely select three or four finalists. Wrestling, squash and karate have been cited as strong contenders. Men's baseball and women's softball, which have been off the program since the 2008 Beijing Games, have merged into a single federation to improve their chances.
The addition of wrestling to the mix has not gone over well with all the sports, who feel that it is overshadowing the contest and reducing their own chances. If wrestling is reinstated in September, that will defeat the IOC's original goal of bringing in a new sport.
Lalovic, a Serb who replaced Switzerland's Raphael Martinetti as FILA president, isn't concerned about the plight of the other sports.
"They are a little bit surprised," he said. "They had two years to prepare. We had three months. We are here because we were not good enough. They have to think about their sport. We don't think about their sport. We think about our sport, and we prepare ourselves without watching what's going on around us."
Wrestling, a sport with a tradition dating to the ancient Olympics, has gone through a major upheaval since it was dropped by the IOC in February. Lalovic was elected FILA president, women and athletes were brought into decision-making roles, and the sport adopted a series of rule changes designed to make wrestling more fan-friendly and easier to understand.
Among the changes, matches will consist of two 3-minute sessions instead of three 2-minute periods, and scoring will be cumulative instead of the previous best-of-three system.
"We had the strength to change," Lalovic said of his message to the IOC. "We already did and we will continue. We made mistakes in the past, for sure. Now we are looking forward. We don't look back."
Among the countries in which the decision will be watched closely is the United States, where wrestling has a strong Olympic tradition and 300,000 high school students compete in the sport.
"The Olympic Games is the ultimate stamp of legitimacy on your sport," USA Wrestling executive director Rich Bender said in St. Petersburg on Tuesday. "You talk to young wresters all over the world, and they'll say the same thing. What's their goal? Their goal is to be Olympic champion. I'm not sure that's the same with all the other sports."
The issue is also being followed by the three cities bidding to host the 2020 Games ? Istanbul, Madrid and Tokyo. Bid leaders from the three candidates are in St. Petersburg to make presentations Thursday at the SportAccord Convention. Wrestling is particularly popular in Turkey and Japan.
"It is important for Turkey because of our success and because it is a national sport," Istanbul bid leader Hasan Arat said Tuesday. "But this is an IOC board decision, which we have to respect. I see lots of changes in wrestling, and I hope wrestling will remain in the games."

No. 21 Missouri remains winless on the road after 70-68 loss to Texas A&M
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Missouri has been great at home this season.
The 21st-ranked Tigers have yet to find a way to replicate that success on the road.
Fabyon Harris had 17 points, including the game-winning 3-pointer with 12 seconds left, to help Texas A&M to a 70-68 victory over Missouri on Thursday night.
The loss dropped the Tigers (16-6, 5-4 Southeastern Conference) to 0-5 in true road games. They have won three games at neutral sites this season.
"We just haven't been able to do it," Missouri coach Frank Haith said of his team's road woes. "We've got to get better at that. It's something we've got to get accomplished, but we've got a couple more road games and we've got to finish off some road games."
Laurence Bowers was wide open when he hit a 3-pointer to give Missouri its first lead of the game, 68-67, with 53 seconds left.
Harris turned it over on Texas A&M's next possession, but Phil Pressey gave it right back with a turnover to set up the winning score for A&M (14-8, 4-5).
"I wanted the ball because I know Coach was going to get on me because I turned it over at a crucial time," Harris said. "It means a lot to me because I felt like I was letting the team down when I turned the ball over."
Ray Turner blocked a shot by Keion Bell with 2 seconds left to secure the win.
Bell fell to the court stunned as the final buzzer sounded and remained there motionless for a few seconds before slowly rising to his feet.
"The home team seemed like they were a little bit more of the aggressor at the beginning of the game," Bell said. "We let them get off to an early lead and we had to fight our way back. We did a good job of getting back into the game, we just didn't finish it."
Alex Oriakhi led the Tigers with 15 points.
Haith was disappointed with his team's defense on the game-winning shot by Harris.
"There was a defensive breakdown on that play," he said, "and they got a wide-open shot."
Missouri used an 11-1 run to tie it at 63-all with about 2 minutes left. Missouri's first seven points of that run were on free throws before Pressey capped it with short jumpers on consecutive possessions.
The teams exchanged baskets before Elston Turner made it 67-65 with a long jumper before the shot by Bowers.
Elston Turner added 15 points for A&M and Kourtney Roberson had 14.
Pressey scored 13 points for Missouri and Bell had 12.
Missouri was coming off an 81-59 win over Vanderbilt, and is a perfect 13-0 at home this year. But the Tigers can't find a way to win on the road.
Haith bristled when asked why he believes his team has struggled in road games.
"If you look across the country teams play better at home than they do on the road," he said. "We're no different than any other team in the country. We took a lead there and we've got to be able to finish that game off."
They had 16 turnovers Thursday which led to 22 points by the Aggies.
They were down by 15 points with about 14 minutes left before a 15-6 run got them within 58-52 with less than 8 minutes to play. Texas A&M had three turnovers and didn't score for a more than a 3-minute stretch.
Harris hit a 3-pointer before Oriakhi was called for a foul and then charged with a technical after a scuffle with Harris for a rebound. Elston Turner made one of the free throws to push the lead to 62-52.
The Tigers opened the second half with a turnover by Bowers, which led to a dunk by Ray Turner. They would commit three more before they made their first basket of the second half — a 3 by Earnest Ross with about 15 1-2 minutes remaining.
They had four free throws in that stretch as A&M added 12 points, mostly off Missouri's miscues to extend the lead to 48-34 before the 3 by Ross.
The Aggies used an 11-2 run to push the lead to 32-19 but Missouri used an 11-4 run to cut its halftime deficit to 36-30.
"I'm really proud of the fight that our team had the first 10 minutes of the game," A&M coach Billy Kennedy said. "We came out ready to play. We haven't had good starts the last few games and we did a good job of sharing the ball and making shots."

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – New England hit the crossbar twice, but injury-ravaged Colorado held out to to claim a 0-0 draw at Gillette Stadium.
Ryan Cochrane and Benny Feilhaber hit the woodwork either side of halftime, but the Revolution could not find a way through to collect all three points and stop the Rapids from extending their unbeaten streak in the series to seven matches (3-0-4).
New England coach Steve Nicol made five changes to the side that fell 3-0 at Chivas USA last Saturday as injuries forced him to alter his starting XI.
Revolution number one Matt Reis returned from a left shoulder sprain to replace Bobby Shuttleworth between the sticks, while Cochrane and Chris Tierney picked up places in the back four to replace the injured Franco Coria (left knee sprain) and Didier Domi (left quadriceps strain). Ousmane Dabo made his first MLS start in central midfield with Stephen McCarthy also given a place in the engine room. Zak Boggs missed out through illness after initially retaining his place, but his late withdrawal allowed Kenny Mansally to keep his spot in the lineup.
Omar Cummings missed out for Colorado after spraining his ankle in Wednesday's 2-1 victory at Houston. Quincy Amarikwa and Caleb Folan formed the front duo with Cummings out injured and Andre Akpan dropped to the bench. Jamie Smith also earned a rest with Marvell Wynne inserted at right back and Kosuke Kimura forced into a makeshift role on the right flank.
Neither side really found its stride during a ragged first half on a slick field, though each club did manage to carve out a chance before the halftime interval.
Cochrane came closest to breaking the deadlock after 15 minutes, when his header skimmed the top of the crossbar. Tierney provided a tempting cross from a free kick on the left wing to prompt the chance.
Colorado suffered yet another injury setback on the half hour as Folan limped off after straining his right groin. Andre Akpan replaced the Ireland international striker and promptly forced Reis to push away his 25-yard effort to send the two sides into halftime on level terms.
Nicol inserted Sainey Nyassi for McCarthy at halftime and the Revolution perked up at the start of the second half as it went in search of a victory.
Shalrie Joseph should have put the Revolution ahead after 57 minutes from a corner kick. Mansally curled his corner to the back post and Joseph stood there unmarked after Rapids defender Tyrone Marshall stumbled as he backtracked. Joseph, however, headed straight at Colorado goalkeeper Matt Pickens to allow Pickens to push the effort away.
New England hit the crossbar for a second time with just over a quarter of an hour to play. Nyassi collected a quick long ball out of the back and stormed into the penalty area. He played a driven ball to the near post, where Feilhaber did well to connect with the service. However, the midfielder's glancing effort hit off the crossbar before deflecting to safety.
Nyassi created one last chance in second half stoppage time, but Marshall intervened to cut out the attempted cross from Rajko Lekic and Pickens covered the ball along the end line to seal a point for the visitors.
New England's next match will be at home, when they host Vancouver Whitecaps on May 14. Colorado, meanwhile, will go on to finish their three-game Eastern Conference swing with an away match at D.C. United also on May 14.

This section contains a list of the known issues with Message Queue 4.3. The following product areas are covered:
For a list of current bugs, their status, and workarounds, Java Developer Connection™ members should see the Bug Parade page on the Java Developer Connection web site. Please check that page before you report a new bug. Although all Message Queue bugs are not listed, the page is a good starting place if you want to know whether a problem has been reported.
Java Developer Connection membership is free but requires registration. Details on how to become a Java Developer Connection member are provided on Sun's "For Developers" web page.
To report a new bug or submit a feature request, send mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
This section describes issues related to the installation of Message Queue version 4.3.
Message Queue 4.3, like Message Queue 4.2 and 4.1, is installed by a relatively new installer, which also installs and upgrades the Java Enterprise System (Java ES) shared components required by Message Queue; for example, JDK, NSS, JavaHelp, and so on.
The new Message Queue installer and the older Java ES installer, which was used to install previous Message Queue versions, do not share the same product registry. If a version of Message Queue that was installed with the Java ES installer is removed and then Message Queue 4.3 is subsequently installed by the Message Queue installer, the Java ES product registry might be in an inconsistent state. As a result, if the Java ES uninstaller is run, it may inadvertently remove Message Queue 4.3 and the shared components upon which it depends, even though it did not install them.
The best way to upgrade Message Queue software that was installed by the Java ES installer is as follows.
Use the Java ES uninstaller to remove Message Queue and its shared components.
Use the Message Queue installer to install Message Queue 4.3.
These issues affect installation on all platforms.
The Ready to Install screen displays the product name as "mq" rather than as Sun Java System Message Queue 4.3. (Bug 6650841)
When the Installer is in the process of installing Message Queue 4.3 and the Progress screen is displayed, the Cancel button is active. Selecting the Cancel button at this time results in incomplete or broken installs. (Bug 6595578)
The Installer Summary Screen contains a number of links that when clicked will launch a log or summary page viewer. If you dismiss this viewer window using the window close button "X" instead of the button labelled "Close', you will not be able to bring this viewer window back up. (Bug 6587138)
Workaround: Use the button labeled Close to close the window.
When a computer system has older versions of Message Queue and NSS/NSPR, the installer's Upgrade screen only lists Message Queue as requiring upgrade; it does not mention that NSS and NSPR need to be upgraded as well. All the relevant software will nevertheless be upgraded (as indicated by The ReadyToInstall screen which shows the correct information). (Bug 6580696)
List of JDKs on JDK Selection Screen is active even when "Choose a JDK" option is not selected. (Bug 6650874)
When using the Message Queue uninstaller, clicking Cancel instead of Remove will still remove some installer files, and future uninstalls will fail. (Bug 6760416)
Running the installer in registration-only mode (installer -r) after performing a silent install in which registration was skipped, results in registration failing with "Premature end of file" error. (Bug 6767988)
When running the Message Queue 4.3 installer on a computer in which Open Message Queue has been previously installed, you might see the following warning message: "Error reading previous session data from Config-State." (Bug 6764305)
Workaround: The message is benign and will not recur once the install has been completed. Or you can remove the /var/install/config/mq/InstallDirectory.xcu file to avoid the message.
When running the Message Queue zip-based installer on a computer with no JDK installed, the following error message is displayed: "Invalid root in registry key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion." (Bug 6764358)
Workaround: Install the JDK prior to running the installer.
The mqInstallHome directory is created by the Message Queue installer even before you click the Install button on the Ready To Install screen. (Bug 6595590)
Trying to register Message Queue in text mode (installer -t -r) without having installed Message Queue throws a NullPtr Exception. (Bug 6760991)
Workaround: Install Message Queue before trying to register the installation.
When installing Message Queue on Windows, please note the following limitations.
The installed directory structure of Message Queue 4.3 on the Windows platform is different from that of previous releases. See Installed Directory Structure in Sun Java System Message Queue 4.3 Installation Guide.
The installer does not add entries for Message Queue to the Start>Programs menu. (Bug 6567258)
Workaround: To start the Administration Console use the command line as shown in Starting the Administration Console in Sun Java System Message Queue 4.3 Administration Guide.
The installer does not add the IMQ_HOME\mq\bin directory to the PATH environment variable.(Bug 6567197)
Workaround: Users need either to add this entry to their PATH environment variable or provide a full path name when invoking Message Queue utilities (IMQ_HOME\mq\bin\command).
The installer does not add entries to the Windows registry to indicate that Message Queue is installed. (Bug 6586389)
The installer does not add the Message Queue broker as a Windows service.
Workaround: Manually add the Message Queue broker as a Windows service using the imqsvcadm command.
If there is no JDK installed, the installer will throw the following error: "Invalid root in registry key HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\JavaSoft\\Java Runtime Environment\\CurrentVersion." (Bug 6764358)\par
Workaround: If you see this error, install a JDK and proceed.
When run in silent mode with an answer file, the installer returns right away. The installation does happen; but the user has no way of knowing when the silent installation is actually done. (Bug 6586560)
Attempting to run the installer in text mode (installer –t) on Windows causes an error message that is displayed in English even when the installer is run in non-English. Text mode is not supported on Windows. (Bug 6594142)
The installer installs Message Queue on C:\ even if the operating system is installed on a different drive. (Bug 6673511)
For installation and uninstallation on Windows, there are no .bat files that the user can run, nor can user uninstall by using Add/Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel. (Bug 6673417)
On Windows Vista, you cannot install Message Queue under C:\Program Files unless you install from a Command Prompt as Administrator. (Bug 6701661)
Workaround: To install from a Command Prompt as Administrator:
1. Start->Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt.
2. Right click on Command Prompt.
3. Select Run as Administrator.
4. Change directory to the Message Queue 4.2 install image.
5. Run installer.vbs.
When the uninstaller is run in dry run mode (uninstaller -n), it incorrectly performs an uninstall. (Bug 6719051)
Workaround: Perform a silent install using the following command:
uninstaller -s
The "Install Home" string on the installer Home page is not localized. (Bug 6592491)
Message Queue Zip-based uninstaller hangs on Windows 2003. (Bug 6764370)
Workaround: Manually remove the mqInstallHome directory.
When the installer is run in dry run mode (installer –n), the Summary Screen shows some error messages and also displays an install status of "Incomplete". This is incorrect and misleading; a dry run does not install anything on the system; it only creates the answer file that can be subsequently used to perform a silent install. (Bug 6594351)
The installer does not perform Sun Connection registration when run in silent mode with an answer file (installer -a filename -s). (Bug 6710268)
When running the installer in text mode, when entering a username or password for Sun Connect registration or creating an online account, you cannot correct a user name or password using the backspace key. (Bug 6673460)
Workaround: Use the Control-H keys instead of the backspace key, or use a different terminal emulator like dtterm or xterm.
The Upgrade screen on the installer does not always correctly report the existing installed version of Message Queue or of the installer engine. (Bug 6679765)
When using the installer in text mode and attempting Sun Connection registration with an invalid user and password names, the installer displays an "unable to register" dialog, throws a Null pointer exception, and exits. (Bug 6666365)
The following issues affect installation on the Linux Platform:
On Redhat Linux 5, the compat-libstdc++ library needed to run C client applications is not included in the Message Queue distribution and is therefore is not installed by the Message Queue installer. If you are developing and running C clients, you need to install this library manually.
Thecompat-libstdc++ rpm is usually found on the install medium of the Linux version you are using. It can be installed using the following command:
rpm -ivh compat-libstdc++-x-x.x.x.x..rpm
where x represents the version number.
To check that the library has been successfully installed, use the following command:
rpm -qa | grep compat-libstdc++
On the JDK Selection panel, the scroll list displays only one item. This makes it difficult to select other JDK's in the list. (Bug 6584735)
If the JDK is current and the user selects "Install default JDK" on the JDK Selection Screen, the installer still tries to install it and reports that it cannot install the package. Installation completes successfully despite this issue. (Bug 6581310)
If the currently installed JDK is a later version than JDK 1.5.0_15 (the version normally installed by the Message Queue installer), then the Message Queue uninstaller cannot find the default IMQ_JAVAHOME directory and returns an error. (Bug 6673415)
Workaround: Install JDK 1.5 manually as follows before running the Message Queue uninstaller.
# cd installImage/Product/UNIX/LINUX/X86/2.4/Packages
# rpm -i --force jdk-1.5.0_15–linux-arch.rpm
where arch is either i586 or amd64.
When the installer is run in dry run mode (installer –n), the Summary Screen shows some error messages and also displays an install status of "Incomplete". This is incorrect and misleading; a dry run does not install anything on the system; it only creates the answer file that can be subsequently used to perform a silent install. (Bug 6594351)
Running the Message Queue installer in text mode on 64-bit Linux does not work. (Bug 6771303)
Workaround: If you are trying to install remotely from a terminal window then you will have to use some remote display software to run the installer in GUI mode instead.
The installer displays Message Queue version information in an opaque form. (Bug 6586507)
On the Solaris platform, refer to the following table to determine the Message Queue version displayed by the installer.Table 1–11 Version String Translation
Version as Displayed by the Installer on Solaris OS
Corresponding Message Queue Release
4.1 Patch 2
4.1 Patch 1
3.7 UR2 Patch 1
For Patch releases to 3.6 SP4 (for example, 3.6 SP4 Patch 1), the releases string displayed by the installer stays the same. You need to run the command imqbrokerd -version to determine the exact version.
On the Linux platform, the version number displayed by the installer is in the following form.
For example, 3.7–22. This tells us only that this is one of the 3.7 releases, but not which specific one. To determine the installed Message Queue version, run the command:
imqbrokerd -version.
The following issues relate to localization problems.
When the installer is run in text mode (installer –t), in a non-English locale, multi-byte characters show up as garbage. (Bug 6586923)
On the Installer Progress screen, the progress bar shows strange characters. The tooltip is hard coded in non-English locales. (Bug 6591632)
Text mode (installer –t) is not supported on Windows. Running the installer in text mode on Windows will cause an error message to be displayed. This message is not localized when the installer is run in non-English locales. (Bug 6594142)
The License screen of the installer displays English license text no matter which locale the Installer is run in. (Bug 6592399)
Workaround: To access localized license files, look for at the LICENSE_MULTILANGUAGE.pdf file.
Installer usage help text is not localized. (Bug 6592493)
The string "None" that is seen on the Installer summary HTML page is hard coded in English. (Bug 6593089)
When the installer is run in a German locale, the Welcome screen does not show the complete text that is seen in other locales. (Bug 6592666)
The string "Install Home" seen on the Installer Install Home screen is not localized. It appears in English even when the installer is run in non-English locales. (Bug 6592491)
When the installer is run in text mode (installer –t), the English response choices "Yes" and "No" are used no matter what locale the installer is run in. (Bug 6593230)
The tooltip for the browse button on the Installer JDK Selection screen is hard coded in English. (Bug 6593085)
In previous versions of Message Queue, you could use the —p or —password option to specify a password interactively for the following commands: imqcmd, imqbrokerd, and imdbmgr. Beginning with version 4.0, these options have been deprecated.
Instead, you can create a password file that specifies the relevant passwords and reference the password file using the -passfile command option, or simply enter a password when prompted by the command.
A password file can contain one or more of the passwords listed below.
A keystore password used to open the SSL keystore. Use the imq.keystore.password property to specify this password.
An LDAP repository password used to connect securely with an LDAP directory if the connection is not anonymous. Use the imq.user_repository.ldap.password property to specify this password.
A JDBC database password used to connect to a JDBC-compliant database. Use the imq.persist.jdbc.vendorName.password property to specify this password. The vendorName component of the property name is a variable that specifies the database vendor. Choices include hadb, derby, pointbase, oracle, or mysql.
A password to the imqcmd command (to perform broker administration tasks). Use the imq.imqcmd.password property to specify this password.
In the following example, the password to the JDBC database is set in the password file to abracadabra.
You can use a password file in one of the following ways.
Configure the broker to use the password file by setting the following properties in the broker's config.properties file.
Use the -passfile option of the relevant command, for example:
imqbrokerd -passfile passwordFileName
The following issues pertain to administration and configuration of Message Queue
On Windows platforms, you need to manually add the Message Queue broker as a Windows service using the imqsvcadm command. The installer does not do this for you.
On Windows platforms, the built-in Windows Firewall, which is enabled by default, must be manually configured with a firewall rule that allows the broker to accept incoming connections from clients. (Bug 6675595)
Double-click on Windows Firewall in the Control Panel
You will have to click Continue on the User Account Control dialog for the Windows Firewall Settings dialog to open.
In the Windows Firewall Settings dialog, click the Exceptions tab.
Click Add program.
In the Add a Program dialog, select java.exe and click Browse.
Windows identifies the broker process as a Java Platform SE binary. Therefore, locate the java.exe used by the broker (usually at jdk1.5.0_15\jre\bin\java.exe).
Click Change scope.
In the Change Scope dialog, select "Any computer (including those on the Internet."
Click OK.
In the Add a Program dialog, click OK.
In the Windows Firewall Settings dialog, click OK.
On Windows platforms, the imqadmin and imqobjmgr commands throw an error when the CLASSPATH contains double quotes. (Bug 5060769)
Workaround: Open a command prompt window and unset the CLASSPATH:
set classpath=
Then run the desired command the same command prompt window, for example:
The -javahome option in all Solaris and Windows scripts does not work if the value provided contains a space. (Bug 4683029)
The javahome option is used by Message Queue commands and utilities to specify an alternate Java 2 compatible runtime to use. However, the path name to the alternate Java runtime must not contain spaces. The following are examples of paths that include spaces.
Windows: C:\jdk 1.4
Solaris: /work/java 1.4
Workaround: Install the Java runtime at a location or path that does not contain spaces.
The imqQueueBrowserMaxMessagesPerRetrieve attribute specifies the maximum number of messages that the client runtime retrieves at one time when browsing the contents of a queue. The attribute affects how the queued messages are batched, to be delivered to the client runtime, but it does not affect the total number of messages browsed. The attribute only affects the browsing mechanism, it does not affect queue message delivery. (Bug 6387631)
The following issues affect the Message Queue broker.
Broker becomes inaccessible when persistent data store opens too many destinations. (Bug 4953354)
Workaround: This condition is caused by the broker reaching the system open-file descriptor limit. On Solaris and Linux use the ulimit command to increase the file descriptor limit.
Consumers are orphaned when a destination is destroyed. (Bug 5060787)
Active consumers are orphaned when a destination is destroyed. Once the consumers have been orphaned, they will no longer receive messages (even if the destination is recreated).
When a JMS client using the HTTP connection service terminates abruptly (for example, using Ctrl-C) the broker takes approximately one minute before releasing the client connection and all the associated resources.
If another instance of the client is started within the one minute period and if it tries to use the same ClientID, durable subscription, or queue, it might receive a "Client ID is already in use" exception. This is not a real problem; it is just the side effect of the termination process described above. If the client is started after a delay of approximately one minute, everything should work fine.
When using MySQL database for a data store, storing messages greater than 1 MB throw a "Packet for query is too large..." SQLException. (Bug 6682815)
Workaround: Start the MySQL server with the --max_allowed_packet option set to a value greater than the 1 MB default. For example, use the following value:
When using MySQL database for a highly-available shared data store, a mechanism is needed to configure the MySQL storage engine as NDBCLUSTER. (Bug 6691394)
Workaround: Add the following property value to the broker's config.properties file (see High-Availability Clusters: JDBC Configuration Properties in Sun Java System Message Queue 4.3 Administration Guide)
When using Oracle's 9i (JDBC 9.2.0.x) driver, broker throws "Failed to persist property..." exception. (Bug 6626825)
Workaround: Use Oracle's 10g (JDBC 10.2.0.x) driver, for which the broker is optimized.
imq.persist.jdbc.derby.table.MYCONSTATE41.index.IDX2=CREATE INDEX &(index) ON $(name) (MESSAAGE_ID)
When using Java DB database for a data store, storing a message throws a "lock could not be obtained within the time requested" SQLException. (Bug 6691394)
Workaround: Add the following property value to the broker's config.properties file::
imq.persist.jdbc.derby.table.MYCONSTATE41.index.IDX2=CREATE INDEX &(index) ON $(name) (MESSAAGE_ID)
The following issues affect broker clusters.
Only fully-connected broker clusters are supported in this release. This means that every broker in a cluster must communicate directly with every other broker in the cluster. If you are connecting brokers into a conventional cluster using the imqbrokerd -cluster command line argument, be careful to ensure that all brokers in the cluster are included.
If a client is connected to a broker in an enhanced broker cluster, the client runtime will attempt to reconnect until it succeeds (it ignores the value of the imqAddressListIterations connection factory attribute.)
A client can only browse the contents of queues that are located on its home broker. The client can still send messages to any queue or consume messages from any queue in the cluster; the limitation only affects queue browsing.
In a conventional cluster that includes version 4.3 brokers, all brokers must be version 3.5 or later.
Message Queue 4.3, 4.2, and 4.1 brokers cannot interoperate in a cluster by default with Message Queue 3.7 or 3.6 brokers because the default value of imq.autocreate.queue.maxNumActiveConsumers changed between these versions. (Bug 6716400)
Workaround: Make sure all brokers have the same value of Change the value of imq.autocreate.queue.maxNumActiveConsumers, usually accomplished by changing the Message Queue 4.3, 4.2, and 4.1 configuration to match that used by the 3.7 or 3.6 brokers (by default, from the value of -1 to the previous version's default value of 1).
To add a Message Queue 4.3 (or 4.x) broker to a Message Queue 3.x broker cluster, the a master broker must be running. (Bug 6763796)
When converting from a conventional cluster to an enhanced cluster, you can use the Message QueueDatabase Manager utility (imqdbmgr) to convert an existing standalone JDBC-based data store to a shared JDBC data store as documented in Cluster Conversion: JDBC-Based Data Store in Sun Java System Message Queue 4.3 Administration Guide
A broker using HADB cannot handle messages larger than 10 MB. (Bug 6531734)
The conversion to an HADB store using the command imqdbmgr upgrade hastore can fail with the message "too many locks are set" if the store holds more than 10,000 message. (Bug 6588856)
WorkaroundUse the following command to increase the number of locks.
hadbm set NumberOfLocks=<desiredNumber>
For additional information see "HADB Problems" in Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 Enterprise Edition Troubleshooting Guide.
If more than 500 remote messages are committed in one transaction, the broker might return the error "HADB-E-12815: Table memory space exhausted." (Bug 6550483)
For additional information, see "HADB Problems" in Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 Enterprise Edition Troubleshooting Guide.
In a broker cluster, a broker will queue messages to a remote connection that has not been opened. (Bug 4951010)
Workaround: The messages will be received by the consumer once the connection is opened. The messages will be redelivered to another consumer if the consumer's connection remains closed.
When consuming more than one message from a remote broker in one transaction, it is possible that the following error message will be logged to the broker. The message is benign and can be ignored:
[26/Jul/2007:13:18:27 PDT] WARNING [B2117]: Message acknowledgement failed from mq://126.96.36.199:7677/?instName=a&brokerSessionUID=3209681167602264320: ackStatus = NOT_FOUND(404)\ Reason = Update remote transaction state to COMMITED(6): transaction 3534784765719091968 not found, the transaction may have already been committed.

This message gets logged when notifying the commit to the message home broker for later messages in the transaction when the imq.txn.reapLimit property is low compared to the number of remote messages in one transaction. (Bug 6585449)
Workaround: To avoid this message increase the value of the imq.txn.reapLimit property.
On the Windows platform, the getTransactionInfo method of the Transaction Manager Monitor MBean returns transaction information that has incorrect transaction creation time. (Bug 6393359)
Workaround: Use the getTransactionInfoByID method of the Transaction Manager Monitor MBean instead.
You need to be aware of two issues related to SOAP support
Beginning with the release of version 4.0 of Message Queue, support for SOAP administered objects is discontinued.
SOAP development depends upon several files: SUNWjaf, SUNWjmail, SUNWxsrt, and SUNWjaxp. In version 4.1 of Message Queue, these files are available to you only if you are running Message Queue with JDK version 1.6.0 or later.
Previously the SAAJ 1.2 implementation .jar directly referenced mail.jar. In SAAJ 1.3 this reference was removed; thus, Message Queue clients must explicitly put mail.jar in CLASSPATH.

RadioShack and Target Dissolve Target Mobile Partnership
Jan 14, 2013, 05:15 ET
FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- RadioShack Corp. (NYSE: RSH), today announced the end of its relationship with Target, where it helps operate Target Mobile in 1,500 Target stores, effective April 8, 2013.
The RadioShack and Target partnership provided RadioShack access to manage Target's post-paid mobility business, but RadioShack did not manage the prepaid mobility business or the wider range of accessories offered in Target stores.
Since October 2012, RadioShack had been renegotiating the terms of the relationship with Target to establish an agreement that would be profitable to both companies. At that time, RadioShack executed a termination notice that would allow the company to exit the Target business if an agreement could not be reached.
"In order for RadioShack to have continued this relationship, we needed to establish a new agreement that would be financially appealing to both companies," said Telvin Jeffries, RadioShack executive vice president, chief human resources officer, and general manager of retail services "Ultimately, we amicably agreed to dissolve the relationship."

Financial Aid for Online and Professional Studies Students
OPS students are working adults whose college education was interrupted for one reason
or another and who are returning to earn undergraduate degrees at the main campus,
often after many years away from an academic environment. Students are typically comprised
of highly motivated learners who are pursuing their educations while advancing ongoing
careers, including registered nurses attending CBU in order to complete their undergraduate
nursing education. California Baptist University believes strongly in educating students
and in providing them with the financial aid that many of them so badly need and desire.
Returning to college after a prolonged absence is an inspiring endeavor and certainly no easy task for many of these students. In some ways, OPS students represent the best that the community has to offer: people leading productive lives while striving to further their education, or those who have overcome significant obstacles to return to college. In both instances, the financial aid available is a welcome encouragement for this important step.

Flea Market Finds for Outdoor Entertaining
Hosts planning impromptu outdoor parties for the holiday weekend might understandably be tempted to make a Target or Walmart run for last-minute supplies. But a Saturday or Sunday morning trip to the local flea market could yield a more interesting, equally affordable bounty of supplies for your Labor Day garden party. Here are a few of my favorite flea market staples for outdoor entertaining:
• Let's face it: eating with plastic utensils pretty much stinks, and the new biodegradable versions, while obviously preferable for environmental reasons, are even less sturdy than their eco-unfriendly cousins. If you like to entertain, keeping a stash of mix-and-match flatware is a worthy pursuit. Flea market vendors (not to mention Salvation Army and other thrift stores) frequently offer bins of silver-plate flatware for cheap. And for a relatively casual outdoor party, lots of different patterns look cute mixed together.
• Okay, I know you might be a little tired of hearing from me about the glories of blue mason jars. But the truth is, they're great for garden parties: as candle holders, vases, or even drinking glasses. They've got a lovely rustic vibe without being too "country-kitsch."
• Flea markets often turn up an abundance of old copper bowls, kettles, pitchers and the like. You can polish them up for a cleaner look, or leave them oxidized so they blend in with your casual garden table. I like to use them for flowers (of course) and as serving pieces (cleaned well and lined with leaves or other garnish).
• Flea market linens — in the form of dish towels, handkerchiefs, raw textiles, or any of the above — make perfect napkins at outdoor parties, where lap eating is the norm. Again, a mix-and-match approach is nice, especially if you're going that direction with the flatware and/or the containers for your florals. Inexpensive linens like these can also be cut up to make pretty fabric flag banners to hang around the garden.
• I've had a lot of luck finding candle hurricanes at flea markets, and these are a must for any evening outdoor party when there's even the slightest breeze. (Thrift stores are another good source for these.)
The possibilities are endless… old soda crates can be used for stacking napkins; discarded terracotta pots, filled with sand, make great candle holders; old cake stands are perfect for serving cheese or hors d'oeuvres (or cake!). Got any favorites of your own? Please add them below!

Armchair Travel Collections: Inspiration from Eat, Pray, Love
I've collected postcards for years now and sort of always felt bad that I didn't have a good place to display them but instead just kept them in a beat up vintage clarinet case that I had ripped the lining out of and painted the inside gold.
Then I saw "Eat, Pray, Love" and there is a scene where Julia Roberts is looking through a large vintage suitcase filled with travel articles and National Geographics that she had been collecting. I instantly related and realized that my little clarinet case full of postcards sent from around the world was a perfectly acceptable way of keeping my collection. It was there for me to open and peruse whenever I felt like. Further inspired by the film, I dug out all of the travel articles, clippings, books and maps I have saved and piled them in a vintage suitcase and now I too have a packed suitcase ready to travel wherever my daydreams take me.
Suitcase and similar ones like it can be found at Mackey Blue. I've also always admired the beautiful Indian patchwork file folder from Wisteria and something like this would be great for a more organized collection.

Conservation is a core value for most archaeological societies. It is highlighted in their codes of ethics, statements of mission, and governance. In recognition of this, the World Archaeological Congress, with the Getty Conservation Institute and a consortium of other conservation organizations, brought together scholars working throughout the globe to discuss vital issues that affect archaeological heritage today.
This volume presents the proceedings of the Conservation Theme at the Congress, held in Washington, D.C., June 22-26, 2003. Among the topics discussed are: Innovative Approaches to Policy and Management of Archaeological Sites; Finding Common Ground: The Role of Stakeholders in Decision Making; Archaeology and Tourism: A Viable Partnership?; Preserving the Cultural Heritage of Iraq and Afghanistan; Archaeology and Conservation in China Today; and Managing Archaeological Sites and Rock Art Sites in Southern Africa.
These proceedings should do much to promote and strengthen the relationship between the disciplines of conservation and archaeology.
Neville Agnew is a principal project specialist at the Getty Conservation Institute. Janet Bridgland is president, Preservation Management Institute.

Long before the iPad, or the iPod touch, there were the Nokia tablets. Yes, tablets, though they were phone-pocket sized. The N770, N800, and the sunlight-readable N810. SD card slots, touchscreen, (OTG) USB port. Ran flash. I did in 2008 what I do on my similar Android media player in 2013. Microsoft had tablets. Others were available. Remember the Palm and Handspring before they were cellphones?
Steve Jobs defines the platform - allowing economies of scale, there are millions of Apple fanbois who will buy the product, so it is a hit.
Even if there was a better Android tablet for a year before the iPad, it would be ignored or complained about. Because it wouldn't have been Apple. You weren't locked into iTunes and their App store. It would have GPS on non-cell devices and a removable battery, maybe a real HDMI, USB, and SD card port (Toshiba Thrive!). But unless Steve Jobs comes out and says "you need *this*", it doesn't matter.
Apple does innovate, but less than imagined. They are high-priced, high margin. Anyone would love a Ferrari or Lamborghini. The trick is to make one affordable.

Recently Richard Dawkins tweeted about the Mars Rover landing:
Yes, America STILL manages to reach Mars, despite half the country preparing to elect a man who believes he'll get a planet when he dies
For anyone not sure of what he meant by getting a planet when you die, he was referring to the Mormon belief in "exaltation". I was unaware of this myself until fairly recently, when I came across the following YouTube video, that explains it in an entertaining cartoon. I have it on good authority that this is a fair representation of Orthodox Mormon teaching, and is therefore part of what good Mormons are expected to believe.
Now really, I had thought Scientology pioneered way-out beliefs in life on other planets as a religious teaching, but turns out that Mormons preceded them by a good part of a century. Note the very unsubtle justification for racism based on the idea that skin colour is a marker of "spiritual purity". One thing I have to wonder about is Elohim's countless Goddess wives. Elohim was supposed to have been a mortal who became one of countless Gods, so presumably his Goddess wives were once mortal women. What strikes me is the extreme gender imbalance of one male god apparently having billions of wives. Does this mean that there are billions of male gods without wives? Or does it mean that for every billion women who are exalted, only one man will have the same honour? Seems a bit unfair to the male gender to have what seems like a "winner takes all" system. Or is it the case that basic mathematics do not apply in Heaven, and that for every male who becomes exalted into godhood, billions of goddess wives will be supplied for him in some miraculous way? Maybe that's one of the benefits of being a god, mortal conceptions of "common sense" or logic simply do not apply...
Just an addendum, according to an informal poll, 50% of Mormons do not believe that men have ever been to the moon because the Moon is a sacred place not meant for humans...

All the religious nutters are advocating a select few surviving and they all believe THEY will be the ones. This is cannabilism on the highest order.
This government is having a hard time finding soldiers so the military have come up with warbots. We will now be facing a government being defended by the hardware and software we developed with our tax dollars. Instead of stopping war because we think we can always win, we, the people, will be annihilated in the end. Wake up, stupid. The mor(m)on is advocating WW3.
This can all happen in a country tutored, managed and manipulated by government workers. Voters are so busy working to buy stuff, they don't have time to gain any wisdom.
Well, I got a bump on my nose one, started picking at it, and it just never healed properly. :)

OneMinutesJr. Jordan Workshop: Day One
- 10 مشاركة
The first day of the OneMinutesJr. workshop in Amman began with the youth participants introducing themselves to each other. The seventeen youth come from Amman, Baqa'ah and Zarqa. Some youth already know each other, being part of UCAN (UNICEF Change Agent Network), a network for adolescents advocating for their rights. But this way the whole team gets to learn a bit of the kids' as well as their interests and hobbies.
After a brief introduction of the OneMinutesJr., we asked everyone what their expectations were. Many of the youth said they were excited to learn how to express their views through video. The UCAN youth were especially interested in gaining skills to use in their advocacy work. 19-year old Jevara pointed out that in Jordan everyone watches videos: "video (use) is for all classes." But everyone felt that it was doable to make a complete movie in one minute.
We showed a series of videos made by other young people around the world so the youth participants wouldn't feel intimidated. Video artists, Taatske Pieterson and Olivia Glebbeek, spent some time teaching camera shots and angles so the kids would have the visual tools to tell their stories.
After lunch, the talk turned towards the theme of the workshop: "Our Voice." The youth participants were asked to think about what they might want to tell the world about their lives: "What do you think is your place in the world? What is important in your life right now? How can you be involved in shaping your community? What do you see as injustices and how does that affect you?"
One by one, the participants met with the video artists to talk about their movie ideas. They discussed what was important to them and what their inspirations were. The facilitators often asked them to share their ideas in one sentence and to get at the essence of what was significant.
The idea discussions took quite some time, but there were a lot of strong thoughts, especially on the ideas of stereotypes and identity. For over 40 years, the country of Jordan has opened its borders to people seeking refuge from crisis in the surrounding regions. The population has almost doubled in the last 10 years. While Jordanians are welcoming, the increase in people can bring tension and misunderstanding.
Some of the participants represent populations affected by war, such as Syria, Iraq, Kurdistan and Palestine. Their story ideas reflect their struggles, adapting to new communities and finding confidence to "remain themselves."
Yanal, 18-years-old, talked about the multiple walls that exist for refugees and those from other cultures. He felt that the Middle East was a region where countries were often separated by actual walls. But along with physical borders, many immigrants to Jordan face invisible walls as well, which sometimes keep people from working, going to school or living where they want. He will make a film that reflects these issues.
After a full day of talking, many powerful stories have been shared. There is much more to talk about though, in terms of how to share those stories visually, so filming will not start quite yet. We look forward to seeing what developments youth think about on the 2nd day.

Canada has won silver in the women's 3,000-metre relay short-track speedskating event at the Sochi Olympics.
South Korea won gold in four minutes 9.498 seconds.
China came in second but was disqualified because their skaters did not immediately leave the track after passing off to their teammates.
That bumped the Canadian team of Marie-Eve Drolet, Jessica Hewitt, Valerie Maltais and Marianne St-Gelais up from third place. Canada's final time was 4:10.641.
The disqualification was a role reversal from the 2010 Vancouver Games, when South Korea was disqualified for impeding and China was promoted to the gold medal.
Italy finished well back of the top three teams after one of its skaters fell, but earned a bronze medal after China's penalty. The Italians finished in 4:14.014.

It's scary to think how many drives the engineer might have replaced before discovering the true culprit.
Variable-frequency drives (VFDs) and power quality problems seem to go hand in hand. If it isn't causing problems in the building by affecting other equipment, the VFD itself is the victim of a supply problem. You should expect the occasional problem, but what do you do when the customer has already replaced three units and the problem still persists?
After calling his supplier to replace a 7½-hp drive for the fourth time, the electrical engineer at a cosmetics manufacturing plant decided a new course of action might be necessary. He had returned each unit with a note that read "Keeps tripping on overload," believing they were all defective. After listening to his problem, I made an appointment with the engineer to visit the site and investigate what was affecting these drives. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the system and with the installation itself. He had mounted eight drives that controlled the motors serving a production conveyor in a NEMA 12 freestanding cabinet with filtered air-cooling.
The engineer explained that all the units worked well, but he believed he had received a series of defective VFDs, because they all appeared to trip on overload when no overload was present. As proof of the problem, he showed me a chart tape of his current measurements taken over several days. The charts indicated the system had experienced no overloads. At the same time, however, it didn't make sense for this many units to have the same problem — especially when the rest of the drives worked fine.
Before I begin troubleshooting any power quality problem, I always ask myself, "Is this a global problem, or is this a local problem?" In this situation, all the other units powered by the same source were working fine, so it had to be a local problem. We looked at the motors, and they all were of the same design. The loading of the conveyor did not seem to be a problem either.
It wasn't until I asked the engineer to take another set of current readings at the motor that I discovered the reason for the overcurrent trips. As the engineer prepared to connect his meter to the conductors serving the motor in question, I could see the wires ran in a metal wire-way alongside the conveyor. When he pulled the leads out of the tray, I noticed they were wrapped around another larger set of conductors that served an air compressor located near the conveyor.
I asked the engineer to force the air compressor on by readjusting the pressure switch. As soon as the unit kicked on, the VFD tripped out on overcurrent. The compressor motor conductors were inducing a secondary current onto the VFD motor leads, which were inducing a false current to the protective circuits of the VFD. The fast peak current of the starting compressor motor never registered at the chart recorder, but the VFD's solid-state protection had no problem picking it up.
It's scary to think how many drives the engineer might have replaced before discovering the true culprit. While most of us know not to run signal and control wiring with large motor conductors, it's easy to forget small motor conductors. However, the rules change when it comes to solid-state overcurrent protection. Microprocessor-based motor controls have far superior protection capabilities that can and will cause nuisance trips if you're not careful. Good wiring practices and proper routing of conductors inside a control cabinet are a necessity for today's controls. Often, a group of circumstances and occurrences can conspire to give the illusion of a power quality problem.
The preceding scenario qualifies as a noise problem. Electrical noise is nothing more than random signals getting into circuits where they are not wanted. This indirect transmission of signals and power may be hard to comprehend, but one look at a radio tower will demonstrate how easily it can happen.
There are four ways unwanted noise (that is, voltage or current) can enter a circuit. It pays to have a basic understanding of how and where these conditions can exist.
Capacitive coupling occurs when two conductors are insulated from each other. In the case of a lightning discharge, air acts as the insulating material between two potentials. This electrostatic noise can cause headaches when phantom voltages appear on conductors and prevent solid-state control logic from operating correctly. These strange voltages can be very frustrating for electricians.
Inductive coupling is current-based, and it occurs when induced magnetic fields cut across nearby conductors. This is the same principle used in a transformer's primary and secondary windings. It is difficult to believe one single loop can induce substantial current into a secondary conductor. A fast rise in current (as in our story) or a fast rate of change (oscillation) can also affect the increase. The proximity of the conductors and even their size and shape are concerns, so wrapping excess wire in a coil inside the cabinet is not a good idea.
You should even consider the type of signal conductors you use when placing conductors. You should isolate input signals from output signals when they run in the same raceway.
Conducted noise does not require a traditional conductor to carry unwanted noise. Solid-state devices (like transistors and SCRs) never really open up and isolate a circuit from a potential. Instead, they limit the amount of current that passes through them. Even in the off state, there is always a small amount of leakage current that passes through the device.
Another example of this is when we create ground currents by using isolated grounding techniques. A current will flow between grounds using the earth as a conductor.
RFI noise, also known as electromagnetic interference (EMI), has become a greater concern over the past few years with the increase in transmission devices in use. We sometimes overlook the fact that any conductor or device switched at a high frequency (10 KHz and above) will act like a transmitter, with surrounding conductors becoming receivers. Shielding and isolation techniques are often necessary to prevent this unwanted noise from affecting our circuits.
In the end, all circuits can generate noise and all circuits have the potential to be affected by noise. This is the nature of working with electrical devices. Diligent installation, wiring practices, and forethought into the potential problems that may arise are the keys to keeping noise problems from affecting our operations.

Competition in Network Security Industry Increases
Network security is a huge concern for every CIO. Increasingly, the business side is requiring CIOs to come up with Web-based solutions, and malicious hackers, knowing that, are trying to tunnel into corporate networks to steal as much sensitive data as possible. At the same time, third-party security vendors, like Cisco and Juniper, are trying to keep companies secure and ward off the persistent attacks.
A recent study from research firm Infoneticsexamined the state of network security to see how companies were spending their money and determine which vendors were doing the best job of appealing to CIOs' needs at the end of 2012. Not surprisingly, some of the biggest vendors, including McAfee and Cisco, led the pack, but other smaller firms are starting to make some inroads.
"In the network security appliances and software market, vendors are actively jockeying to take advantage of competitor slip-ups," notes Jeff Wilson, principal analyst for security at Infonetics Research. Despite the cutthroat nature of the network security industry, it appears—at least for now—there is enough cash to go around for every vendor.

While identifying risk factors for sexual assault may assist in the development of prevention efforts, it should be noted that in no way do these risk factors imply that an "at-risk" victim is responsible for the assault.
Alcohol use is most commonly associated with sexual assault on campus, according to a number of studies, including NIJ's Campus Sexual Assault (CSA) Study (pdf, 111 pages).
Learn more on how alcohol use increases the risk of sexual assault.
Other risk factors include:
Sorority membership. Almost a quarter of sexual assault victims were sorority members, whereas only 14 percent of nonvictims were sorority members.
Numerous sexual partners. Women who reported having more sexual partners since entering college were more likely to have reported forced sexual assault.
Freshman or sophomore status. The first two years of college are the highest risk years, and the first few months of the school
year are the highest risk time of the year.
Day of the week. More than half of the sexual assaults took place on weekends. More than half occurred between midnight and 6 a.m.
Off-campus parties. More than half of sexual assaults against college women took place in off-campus settings. More than half of the women who reported incapacitated sexual assault said they were at a party when the incident took place.
Physically forced sexual assault (no drugs or alcohol involved). Women on college campuses are more likely to be victims if they:
Incapacitated sexual assault. For the survey, the researchers used a broad definition of "incapacitated" that included being drunk, under the influence
of drugs, passed out, asleep or otherwise incapacitated. Women on campuses are more likely to be victims of incapacitated
sexual assault if they:

Posted November 14,2005: You have to give the Bush administration' s deputy secretary of state Robert B. Zoellick credit: he certainly appears to be doing the best he can to stop the genocidal violence in Sudan' s Darfur region. He has been to the area four times in six months and, as was reported this week, has met with the President of Sudan as well as with the warring rebel factions. He has been ' fact finding' in the refugee camps, he has listened to the African Union' s peacekeeping commanders describe what is happening and he has listened to what the government officials responsible for the region have had to say. Listening and fact finding are crucial elements of diplomatic intervention and Zoellick is by all accounts a skilled and honest negotiator and deal-maker. But the violence continues; men, women and children are being senselessly murdered everyday by the so-called "janjaweed," Sudanese government sponsored militia on horseback, and no amount of political discourse appears likely to bring these rampaging cowboys (janjaweed means ' gun and horse' ) to heel.

McNulty scores four as Titans edge West
Tuesday's game against winless Cranston West shaped up as a good chance for the Toll Gate girls' soccer team to snap a five-game losing streak.
A 1-0 deficit just two minutes into the game was not part of the plan, but the Titans didn't let that or any other hurdle get in the way. Freshman Hannah McNulty scored four goals – including two equalizers plus the game-winner in the 74th minute – as the Titans won 4-3 for their second victory of the season.
"It was a very good thing to see them bounce back from being down," said Toll Gate coach Lonna Razza. "All season, we've been playing from behind and they kind of lose it after a while. Today, they just said, 'We're down, we've got to step it up.' They did and they persevered through the whole game."
The first three goals of the game came in a four-minute span, a sign of things to come for the late back-and-forth. West led 1-0 just 2:30 into the game on a goal by Gabby Caruso, but the Titans responded just a minute later as McNulty turned and blasted a shot from the top right corner of the box. In the sixth minute, the Falcons struck again as Caruso dribbled across the top of the box and slipped a perfect pass to Kate Capuano, who placed a shot into the far corner of the net for the 2-1 lead.
That lead lasted a little longer, but the Titans wouldn't let it last too long. In the 16th minute, McNulty got herself loose in the box and fired a shot into the net to tie the game.
"It's been an issue for us all year – we score a goal and it seems like we relax," Cranston West coach Nick Ruggieri said. "We don't keep the intensity up."
On the other side, intensity was way up as the Titans started to flex their muscles.
"They played unbelievable today, everybody," Razza said. "Players stepped it up today to where I was saying, 'Alright, where was that the first seven games?' Unbelievable performance."
Jordan Inkley led a strong defensive effort for the Titans, while Laura McGuire, Grace McGrath, Kathleen Morlock and Haley Rouleau controlled the midfield and teamed with forward Courtney Crowley to create chances.
McNulty did the rest. After her two early goals, she notched the hat trick when she powered through a pair of defenders for a goal in the 34th minute.
"I knew that she had it in her," Razza said. "I knew she would never play JV. She's done it every game and today it just flowed. To see the girls put it on her foot and know she's going to get the job done is great."
The Falcons generated some chances late in the first half and early in the second half, but it looked like they might run out of time.
Instead, in the 73rd minute, Eleni Grammas got loose on a run and forced the Titans to kick the ball over the end line, setting up a corner kick. Julia White took it and placed the ball into the middle of the box. It bounced around before West's Jenna Palmer got her foot on it and tipped it into the net to tie the game.
But one more time, the Titans had an answer.
Toll Gate pressured immediately on the ensuing possession and Rouleau hit a shot just wide. On the West goal kick, the Titans won the ball and played it ahead to McNulty. Open from 30 yards out, she turned and lofted a shot over the head of West keeper Olivia Idowu for a stunning goal.
"To see them come back at the end – I've never seen that before," Razza said. "They just came right down the field."
It was part of the mindset that carried them all game.
"We have to score," McNulty said of what she was thinking after the West goal. "We weren't going to lose this game."
The Falcons delivered some pressure over the final six minutes but came up empty. Caruso's high-arcing shot in the 78th minute was the best chance, but Toll Gate goalie Amber Francois corralled the bounce and the Titans held on.
"It's exciting," McNulty said. "I just tried to play my hardest. We haven't had many wins, so I tried my best – 110 percent."
And on this day, the Titans' best was good enough for a much-needed victory.
"The girls saw their teammates stepping up and it motivated everybody," Razza said. "It was like the flu but it was a good flu."
The Titans hope it carries into tonight's game against Smithfield. The Sentinels, who are 4-3-1, will host the Titans at 7 p.m.

The Spain international had been considered a £50 million flop until a recent upturn in form, which coincided with the appointment of his former Liverpool mentor.
Torres was Chelsea's first-choice striker for the first half of the campaign regardless of form, although Ba's arrival threatens that role.
The 27 year-old scored twice on his Blues debut against Southampton on Saturday and Benitez believes the former Newcastle striker will be good for Torres.
"Ba coming will be better for Torres, 100 per cent," Benitez said. "Not many players play every game in a top side, as he has had to, and now it will be positive for both of them.
"They will be fitter, maybe they will score more goals because they will have more chances and will be in better positions.
"Fernando is an experienced player and he knows football. We have spoken to both of them and they each know the role of the other, that they'll have a lot of games and will have a big part to play.
"Every session I can see Fernando is training well and trying to improve. Even when he's not scoring, he's working hard and doing things for the team.
"We have tried to fix things to improve his strength, a specific programme. If you do that, normally he can be quicker. It takes time, and I think it's improving.
"He's a bit quicker, but the biggest problem was he was playing too many games. Especially against QPR, some players were a bit tired, had too much fatigue. But having both Torres and Ba means both can do well."
Torres remained on the bench throughout Saturday's 5-1 FA Cup win at Southampton and could return against Swansea today.
Petr Cech, John Terry, John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses are all out for the Capital One Cup semi-final first leg, which kicks off a period of eight games in 25 days for Chelsea.
"When you are a top side you know you have to play twice a week, but because of Japan and the time we had to go there, we have been playing a lot of games," Benitez said.
"It's difficult for us to plan and prepare training sessions. Monday's was another light session and you can't do everything you want to do.
"We have to try to do tactical adjustments in every session, so it's quite complicated, but in a top side it has to be like this."
And Benitez has also warned fans of changes to the squad, refusing to rule out the possibility that popular players could leave the club.
"I think it's always easy to talk about the legends, and you have to have a lot of respect for them because what they've achieved for this club has been fantastic," Benitez added.
"But you have to have new players - it could be English or foreign, it doesn't matter - and carry on winning games.
"That's what the fans are expecting. Everyone knows the legends have been here and what they have achieved, but you have to see new players coming. It's part of life."
Asked about the importance of emotional attachment to players, Benitez said: "That is the good thing about English football. You have good memories and you respect people who achieve something for a club. That's very positive.
"But, at the same time, you have to think about the future. You cannot be waiting.
"You have to move forward, bring in new players and at the same time try and bring the best out of those you have. You have to use their experience, too."

Currency Investors Turn to Unlikely Pair
Investors bracing for slower growth in China are turning to a formerly little-used currency trade: selling Australian dollars and buying Mexican pesos.
The bet is that Australia's economy, and its currency, will suffer as Chinese demand cools for raw materials like iron and coal. Mexico, with closer ties to the resurgent U.S. economy, is seen as more insulated if commodities prices fall.

Demo video of Orange's Jim Root (Slipknot) Signature #4 Terror Amp Head
But we wouldn't blame you if you didn't believe us. After all, surely no mere mortal can re-create riffs like Surfacing or Purity without the backing of six other musicians and a clown beating himself up onstage?
Well actually…YouTube guitar gear reviewer Fluff proves you can achieve a powerful metal sound with a very simple setup thanks to the Jim Root head.
Orange themselves say of the video:
"He absolutely nails the core tone. You start to get the feeling that this might the THE 'lunchbox amp' for hard rock and metal. Considering that was our goal when we created it, this review is a welcomed tribute".
And if that's not enough, Fluff (@Guitarist_Facts on Twitter) also offers a complete playthrough with the amp so you can see how versatile it is and exactly what settings he uses for everything from clean strumming to crushingly overdriven riffage.
If you like what you see, Dolphin offers an all-in-one Slipknot fan package of guitar, head and cab for £1,124. (Jester mask not included, unfortunately).

The key menace is direct poaching of both tiger and its prey. Although extensive habitat is available in some landscapes, fragmentation driven by rapid development - especially road networks - is forcing tigers into scattered, small refuges that isolate the populations and increase accessibility for poachers.
