Asking the right question
IBM WebSphere Application Server Community Edition is a lightweight application server designed to help you accelerate your development and deployment efforts by offering technology that is quick, easy to download, and free to use. Built on Apache Geronimo technology, WebSphere Application Server Community Edition V2.1 (hereafter referred to as Community Edition) combines some of the best open source technologies, such as Apache Tomcat, OpenEJB, Apache ActiveMQ, and Apache Derby.
Since its launch, thousands of users have been quick to adopt Community Edition with great success, and with little difficulty. If you do experience problems getting started with Community Edition, chances are that asking one of the questions listed here will help you resolve the issue so you can continue moving forward with your development objectives. If you haven't started working with Community Edition yet, use this list of questions as a checklist so you can avoid common mistakes and get the most out of Community Edition now:
- Have you met the system requirements?
- Are you using a recommended and supported Java SDK?
- Is the location of the Java Runtime Environment set correctly?
- Do you have sufficient authority to install?
- Are all dependent packages installed (Linux only)?
- Does the installation program have execute permission?
- Are you are using the correct URL to access the administrative console?
- Have you changed the administrative console's default user name and password?
- Did the application server start successfully?
- Do you have network connectivity?
- Can you access the server using the host system's short name?
- Are the resource references defined correctly in the deployment plan?
- Did you use inverse class loading in production?
- Did you verify class dependencies?
- What if I still have a problem?
And here are the answers:
Have you met the system requirements?
Before installing WebSphere Application Server Community Edition, check the detailed system requirements to confirm that your system meets the minimum memory (150 MB (not including JDK), 256 MB RAM), operating system, JVM (IBM SE 5), and other requirements. This information also describes recommended, compatible, and unsupported configurations.
Are you using a recommended and supported Java SDK?
Many installation and run time problems occur when using a Java™ SDK that Community Edition does not support. While Community Edition can run in several different Java Runtime Environments (JRE), only two are recommended: IBM Java 5 (32-bit) and IBM Java 5 (64-bit). To verify that you are using one of the recommended JREs, make sure that the
javacommand is on your PATH and run this command from a shell:
<command shell prompt> java -fullversion
For example, if you are using IBM JRE 1.5, the output will look similar to this:
J2RE 1.5.0 IBM Windows 32 build pwi32devifx-20071025 (SR6b)
See detailed system requirements for more information.
Is the location of the Java Runtime Environment set correctly?
Community Edition sets the location of its JRE using the
setenv.bat(Windows) or
etenv.sh(UNIX®) commands, which are located in the <WAS_CE_HOME>/bin directory. These commands set the location of the JRE in the WASCE_JAVA_HOME environment variable. Confirm that the setenv script sets the WASCE_JAVA_HOME environment variable to the location where your JRE is installed.
Do you have sufficient authority to install?
Log on to the system with a user name that has sufficient authority to install software. On Windows, you must use the administrator ID, or a user that is a member of the Administrator group. On Linux®, use a user name that has permission to read/write/execute the installation media, the JRE directory, the target directory, and /var/log.
Are all dependent packages installed (Linux only)?
Each Linux platform contains different packages on which Community Edition depends. Some Linux distributions install these packages by default, while others do not. Before installing Community Edition on Linux, make sure that all of the dependent packages are installed. You will find lists of dependent packages are available for these Linux platforms:
Does the installation program have execute permission?
The name of the Community Edition installation program is different on Windows and UNIX platforms:
- Windows: wasce_setup-version-win.exe
- UNIX: wasce_setup-version-unix.bin
On UNIX platforms, the installation program, wasce_setup-version-unix.bin, must have permission to execute before you can install Community Edition. Depending on which UNIX platform you are using, you might be able to check and set file permissions from the desktop. If you do not have this ability, follow these steps:
- Open a terminal window.
- Ensure that you have "root" privileges.
- Change to the directory where you downloaded the Community Edition package.
- Set execute permission on the installation program:
<command shell prompt> chmod 755 wasce_setup-version-unix.bin
Are you are using the correct URL to access the administrative console?
The application server's administrative console is available via your Web browser over both secure and unsecure HTTP protocols. To avoid getting errors like "HTTP 404: page not found," you must be sure that you are using the correct URL. The default URLs are:
where <hostname> is the system where the application server is running. You can configure different port numbers by changing the HTTPPort and HTTPSPort properties in the <WAS_CE_HOME>/var/config/config-substitutions.properties file. For example:
When you successfully connect to the administrative console, you will see the panel shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Administrative console
Have you changed the administrative console's default user name and password?
When you install Community Edition, a default administrative user name and password are set to authorize access to the administrative console. The default user name is "system" and the default password is "manager." Change the administrative password to help keep your system secure:
- From Console Navigation, under Security click Users and Groups.
- Under Console Realm Users, click Edit for default user system.
- Type in and confirm a new password.
Keep in mind that, by default, Community Edition stores user and group information on the file system. See Modifying the Default Server Security Realmfor more information.
Did the application server start successfully?
The administrative console is dependent on other modules to run successfully. Make sure that those modules are started before launching the console. You can view the complete list of dependent modules from the application EARs portlet (Figure 2). The console EAR file is called org.apache.geronimo.plugins/console-tomcat/<version>/car, and the Parent Components column lists the components that the administrative console is dependent upon.
Figure 2. List of dependent modules
Follow these steps to start the server:
- Open a terminal window.
- Change the directory to <WAS_CE_HOME>/bin.
- Type command
startup.bat(Windows) or
When the server starts successfully, the output should look like Figure 3.
Figure 3. Output for successful server start
Do you have network connectivity?
To confirm your network connectivity:
- Verify that you can resolve host names. For example, ping another host on the network.
- If there is a firewall between the browser and the application server, make sure that it is configured to allow traffic. For example, if you are using SSL, make sure that the HTTPS port is open.
A networking component can fail to start when the connection is refused. The server contains a number of networking components (for example, the GBean JMXService) that access the network during initialization. If one of these components fails to start because the connection is refused, the problem might be caused by firewall software running on the server's host. If this is the situation, configure your firewall software to consider your local host as a trusted host. Depending on the software you use, you might need to specify the trusted host several times, for example:
- As localhost
- As its fully qualified host name
- As its TCP/IP address.
Can you access the server using the host system's short name?
Regardless of how you specify the target server's host name, Apache Geronimo uses the unqualified (short) host name during remote deployment. The client then uses this short name to start the file transfer for sending your application to the server system. If the name cannot be resolved by the network, you will see a java.net.UnknownHostException.
You can avoid this problem by checking that you can access the host system using the short name. For example, verify that you can ping the host name using the short name. If you receive a successful response, then your name resolution service can resolve the short name to an IP address.
Are the resource references defined correctly in the deployment plan?
To deploy or distribute your Java EE asset, you define resource references in the deployment plan; examples of resources are a database or JMS. Community Edition provides several deployment plan templates for common types of Java EE assets, including:
See Using deployment plan templates for templates and samples.
The server will be unable to deploy or distribute your asset if it cannot resolve a reference in a Java EE deployment plan to a resource on the server. Make sure you deploy your asset with a deployment plan that defines the relationship. Some tips:
- If you attempt to deploy your asset without a deployment plan, you will see error messages about being unable to deploy or distribute your asset. To resolve these issues, create a deployment plan so that you can successfully deploy your asset.
- If you are using a deployment plan and you see errors during deployment, check the error message and the logs to determine which resource could not be resolved. Fix the problem by correcting the resource reference in the deployment plan.
- Make sure the configuration identifier of a resource reference matches the configuration identifier of the resource.
- Use a single-byte character set to name the configuration identifier; there is a known problem in Apache Geronimo that causes errors when you use a double-byte character set (such as Chinese) to name the configuration identifier.
Did you use inverse class loading in production?
Inverse class loading is useful for problem determination and testing by letting you override the default Java EE class loader hierarchy so that your module's class library is searched before the parents are searched. You must exercise caution if you plan to use inverse class loading in production because it affects all classes and can cause conflicts when objects constructed in your module are passed to a parent for processing. In production systems, you should use hidden classes instead, and specify only those classes that can be used without conflicts.
See Managing the classpath in the Community Edition V2.1 documentation for more information about classpaths.
Did you verify class dependencies?
If you see either of these exceptions:
- java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
- java.lang.ClassCastException
then packages that your modules depend on are probably not defined and stored in the server's repository. The server keeps common Java libraries in a repository using the same directory structure and naming conventions promoted by the Apache Maven project. If your Java EE asset depends on a library that is not already in the repository, you must update the repository to include the new library and define the dependency in your Java EE asset's deployment plan. See Adding Java libraries to the server's repository for more information.

Be Bold with Bananas, and Other News
April 27, 2016 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Deaccessioning: it's one of the cruel realities of our time. But how do libraries determine which books turn to pulp and which remain to yellow on shelves? According to Mary Kelly and Holly Hibner, who've created a blog called Awful Library Books, it's easier than you think: "Kelly and Hibner created the site in 2009. Each week, they highlight books that seem to them so self-evidently ridiculous that weeding is the only possible recourse. They often feature books with outlandish titles, like Little Corpuscle, a children's book starring a dancing red blood cell; Enlarging Is Thrilling, a how-to about—you guessed it—film photography; and God, the Rod, and Your Child's Bod: The Art of Loving Correction for Christian Parents … 'I pull one or two books a week. Nobody's going to even question that,' Hibner said. She also keeps a bag of her favorite weeded books under her desk—Vans: The Personality Vehicle, Be Bold with Bananas—in case any inquisitive patrons want examples."
- It's not always easy to muster one's enthusiasm for railways—even train buffs get the blues. But James Meek has been reading The Railways: Nation, Network and People, and so can offer a vital refresher for a world suffering from rail fatigue: "The shock of the speed of the first trains, three times faster than a stagecoach, wasn't only physical, embodied in the sensations of acceleration and travel, but conceptual: the old measures of distance, how far town X was from town Y, were rendered irrelevant, leading to what commentators as early as 1833 were calling 'the annihilation of space by time', twenty-five years before Karl Marx used the phrase in the Grundrisse. Along with the speed of the trains was the shock of the speed with which the railways spread, gouging cuttings out of hills, flinging embankments across bowls of land, boring and blasting tunnels through solid rock, hurling viaducts over valleys and gorges … Writing in the 1960s, Michael Robbins said: 'The Victorians who created the railway look like a race imbued with some demonic energy.' "
- David Means discusses his new novel, Hystopia, and the way he manipulates time in his fiction: "For me, grace lies in a paradox: the moment you are fully in existence while also fully aware of the vastness of time itself; so you're sitting there in a hospital hallway holding a baby and the baby is looking up at you and you're in the moment but also aware of the hugeness of the moment, the inexplicable forgiveness in the tactile feeling of this newborn life in your hands and the absolute innocent need inside the baby's gaze. The writer's job is to be as true as possible, not only in the drafting but the revision process, to the words and the reality that they are representing and creating. That requires an attempt at humility before the material, somehow. Humor and grace, for me, are entwined."
- It's great that Harriet Tubman will soon grace our twenties, but isn't it time to spice up the ol' government oil-portrait collection, too? "Looking through the House and Senate portrait collections, you'll find a wealth of white legislators in ill-fitting suits posing awkwardly among symbolic objects: dogs, children, clocks, gavels, and flags—lots of flags … But if you're not a white man, gay or straight, good luck getting a portrait painted before you die. The first Asian American in Congress, Dalip Singh Saund (D-CA), served as a representative for four years until a stroke ended his political career in 1962 … Saund died in 1973, but his portrait wasn't commissioned until 2007, over forty years later, and it shows him standing in the Capitol rotunda, bordered by the places and people that influenced his career: India, California, Gandhi, and Lincoln."
- Today in new exhibitions: "Olsen Twins Hiding From the Paparazzi." "Ever wish that visiting a museum was more like watching reality TV and simultaneously browsing TMZ, all while a few wine coolers deep? You're in luck … [the artist Laura Collins] had a series of paintings depicting the Olsen twins hiding from the paparazzi … Collins's artwork lines the hallway, which is operating under a 'jungle' theme, complete with large green-paper leaves. Mary-Kate and Ashley are not identified in each painting, which Collins says is intentional. 'I have no idea who's who. I wanted it to be like, they're kinda interchangeable. We almost don't care who's who.' "
We Guarantee It
April 19, 2016 | by Sadie Stein
"Oh my God," I said, turning to my husband with tears in my eyes.
"What is it?" he asked, understandably alarmed. The train had stopped at a Connecticut station—Rowayton, maybe—and it smelled like sun-warmed Naugahyde and Metro-North and commuter. "What is it?"
Blinded by tears—and the fact that I'd removed my glasses to dash them away—I pointed to an advertisement on the platform. Read More »
The Countries We Think We See
January 8, 2016 | by Tara Isabella Burton
For Lesley Blanch, travel writing offered a chance to explore her preconceptions about a place as much as the place itself.
Every travel writer is a character in her own narrative, no less a part of the story than the "foreigners" that story depicts. In my own travels, I've found that women in countries that discourage mixed-gender interactions often speak to me more openly about culturally illuminating subjects—sex, love, motherhood—than they might to a male writer. My femaleness, it seemed, wasn't simply a question of perspective; it was a question of action.
When I raised this subject in a lecture last year, someone in the audience broke in with a question. Why did I feel the need to "insert" myself into my narratives at all? She brought up the travel writer Colin Thubron, whom she cited as the paradigmatic example of the quiet, objective observer. "He doesn't insert himself into his writing at all!" she exclaimed.

Big, Bent Ears, Chapter 10: Surrender to the Situation, Part 3
September 23, 2015 | by Nicole Rudick
In his prose poem "Rounding Off to the Nearest Zero," Albert Mobilio writes that "Driving, or at least driving alone, is, I've always found, conducive to thinking. The sense of forward motion, the calf's calibrated flexing, the purposeful grip of the wheel combine, it seems, to concentrate the mind." Trains have this effect, too: their linear haste through the landscape makes thoughts unspool. The final three chapters of "Big, Bent Ears"—including the latest, Chapter 10—follow the trajectory of the Carolinian 80 as it wends from Durham to New York, and its motion drew Ivan Weiss into a web of associations between the sounds and processes of Tyondai Braxton and of Oren Ambarchi as well as those with whom they collaborate. This new chapter revels in sensory confusion—rhythms that are seen, memories that are sonic, tables that make music—and in the comfort that can be found in music:
I'd walk into a room and be invisible, and music was always the thing that calmed the noise. It was where I found solace. I would go to sleep with the radio next to me and wake up with the radio next to me. Before my eyes would open, my hands would flick the on switch.
The chapter opens with David and Julia, pictured above—strangers who meet on the Carolinian 80 and whose conversation is loosed by the lull of travel. Their exchange, like the rest of the installment, recalls Joseph Mitchell's lines from our first chapter:
The best talk is artless, the talk of people trying to reassure or comfort themselves, women in the sun, grouped around baby carriages, talking about their weeks in the hospital or the way meat has gone up, or men in saloons, talking to combat the loneliness everyone feels.
Read the latest chapter here, and catch up on the rest of the series:
- Chapter One, There Are No Words
- Chapter Two, Borderline Religious
- Chapter Three, Nazoranai, a Documentary
- Chapter Four, In Search of Lost Time in Knoxville
- Chapter Five, Alien Observers
- Chapter Six, Treatise on the Veil
- Chapter Seven, Anatomy of a Sequence
- Chapter Eight, Surrender to the Situation, Part 1
- Chapter Nine, Surrender to the Situation, Part 2

Fairy-tale Ending
September 15, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
Once upon a time, a newly married couple rode an old train from Myrdal to Flåm. The train passed through mountains and valleys, past waterfalls and vast lakes. Often the climb was dramatically steep, the hairpin turns almost impossibly sharp. The passengers ran from window to window in a frenzy of excitement, exclaiming at the vivid scenery, blinking in wonder when the train emerged from a tunnel.
A voice spoke to the passengers, first in Norwegian, then in German, then English. The voice spoke of gradients and history: of the men who had built tracks from wood and stone and the many people who had ridden on the red seats of the old train. And there were legends, too: this was folklore country. The land through which the train was passing was said to be haunted by trolls and fays. The valleys were home to the Hulder, a forest siren who lured mortals with her unearthly song. The bride squeezed her husband's hand in excitement. Here was magic; here was darkness. Read More »
The "Romance" of Travel
August 25, 2015 | by André Naffis-Sahely
Joseph Roth's hotel years.
"I am a hotel citizen," Joseph Roth declared in one of the newspaper dispatches anthologized in The Hotel Years: Wanderings in Europe Between the Wars, "a hotel patriot." It's easy to see why: Red Joseph was nothing if not a cosmopolitan humanist, and the hotel was his natural habitat. "The guests come from all over the world," he explains:
Continents and seas, islands, peninsulas and ships, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Muslims and even atheists are all represented in this hotel. The cashier adds, subtracts, counts and cheats in many languages, and changes every currency. Freed from the constriction of patriotism, from the blinkers of national feeling, slightly on holiday from the rigidity of love of land, people seem to come together here and at least appear to be what they should always be: children of the world.

Who can beat Anderson Silva?
This topic has been debated over and over again. Fighters that propose a great style match for the pound-for-pound kingpin have stepped up and been dispatched of like first class amateurs.
Like many great fighters, Silva has an aura that mesmerizes even his peers. His opponents tend to sit back and watch what he does instead of implementing their own game plans.
For example, Yushin Okami, a strong grappler, only made one half-hearted attempt at a takedown in his UFC 134 bout against Silva. He basically sat there as Silva danced on the outside and landed the inevitable punch that would end the fight.
After cleaning out all of the notable challengers in the middleweight division, Silva is left at a crossroads of rematches and jumping weight classes.
It's tough to see Silva lose at this point, but as long as he keeps fighting, his time will come to take the inevitable plunge like the other all-time greats before himself.
If given the opportunity, here are five fighters with the best chance to squash "The Spider."

Full Moon Dates
Importance of full moon dates
Summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro on a cloudless evening is without a doubt an unforgettable experience. Now imagine seeing the glaciers glitter in the moonlight of a full moon – absolutely stunning.
The majority of a Kilimanjaro climb takes place during the day and it is only the summit attempt that starts before midnight in order to reach the summit at sunrise. A summit attempt done during a full moon could make the evening climb easier, since you might not need to switch on your head lamp in the bright moonlight.
Planning a trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro to coincide with the full moon dates detailed below, could further enhance the whole experience, as the bright moonlight would provide spectacular views of Kibo from most of the overnight camps.

Short Biography
My research can be broadly characterized as the use of statistics to simplify, understand and address complex, cross-disciplinary water resource problems. I have a particular interest in using statistics to arrive at parsimonious characterizations of natural systems. I am currently employing this philosophy to advance understanding related to changes in hydrologic phenomenon, prediction of flow at ungauged basins, similarity in hydrologic response between catchments, and ecohydrology.

As I sit and watch Franklin Gutierrez, one of my favorite players in all the game, blossom into a productive and valuable outfielder in the entire majors, I start to wonder what exactly is going on here.
I'm typically one to not harp on what could have been. I'm a believer of sticking with a transaction through thick and thin, if I believe in it. That and, you can't change the past, so why harp over it?
However the deal with Gutierrez was not one I believed in. I damned it from the start, damned it the day after, actually went on to tell Seattle what a steal they got, but then went back and I've damned it since.
You can go ahead and read it all. I was never a fan of the deal from day one and despite the return the Indians received, I don't think I will ever be.
Joe Smith is going to be a part of this bullpen for the next few years and Luis Valbuena has potential, nothing more, to be a decent second baseman for this team.
But that cannot mask the fact the Indians gave up too soon.
Now I think this is a largely overblown aspect of the Indians. Fans love to get on Shapiro and Wedge for their mistakes, and they are no-doubt laughing once again as they sit there and make jokes about this one.
But the truth is, I was in the minority when this deal went down.
Most fans were just glad to have received something in return for Gutierrez.
Most believed that Gutierrez was a role-player who was replaceable, a spare part that Shapiro masterfully turned into another spare part for the team's weakness and a potential long-term starter at a position that is not very deep.
Hey, I credit them there for that thinking. That's the positive side that I took about the deal.
But it still ate me up inside to know we traded away someone who was going to break out the minute he left Cleveland.
Brandon Phillips did the same thing.
And believe it or not, Shapiro still doesn't hear the end of it with him being dealt to the in-state rival Cincinnati Reds. It's still a sticking point for many Tribe fans, to this day.
Fans also love to bring up Kevin Kouzmanoff and Jeremy Guthrie, quite frequently as well. Truth is, both have sort of fizzled out and are not looking as good as they did at first. The biggest issue with Guthrie was that he was given away, for nothing in return.
You can nit-pick other players like Willy Taveras, Macier Izturis, Luke Scott, but when it comes down to it, not everyone even made it to the major leagues.
The beef should be with players that made the majors, had a chance to break in with the Tribe, and then were dealt or given away for one reason or another.
Shapiro isn't fully to blame as I've said; sometimes it just doesn't work out for a player in one spot. But the entire organization, as is the case with the 2009 season, shares the blame in most of these follies.
Phillips wasn't going to work out here. It was the Indians fault that he wasn't going to work out, but it was still a move that had to be made.
Don't even bring up Milton Bradley, we all know that any deal that trades Milton Bradley away is a good one.
In fact the only reason Gutierrez was an Indian was because the Dodgers traded him to Cleveland for Bradley.
Now neither one of them are in a Tribe uniform.
A 20 home run, 80 RBI, .300 average year is not out of the question for Gutierrez with Seattle. He hit his 11th home run on Friday against his former team and he's got two and a half months to gain 42 more RBI, not impossible the way he's turned it on lately.
The biggest thing for Gutierrez and his turn-around with Seattle is relaxation.
His idol growing up and now teammate, Ken Griffey Jr., said that the veterans have put Gutierrez in a state of relaxation.
Seattle's center fielder feels more comfortable at the plate because he's got some team security, a little bit of confidence instilled in him, and most of all, a spot in the lineup everyday.
Not to say Eric Wedge and the Indians didn't give Gutierrez a spot in the everyday lineup. He was a big reason for their run to the 2007 postseason; he got a legit chance to prove he was the answer.
The problem was that when the going got rough for Gutierrez, Eric Wedge lost confidence and patience for the youngster.
Quite like he has with others, but that is another story for a different time, like when we are talking about why Wedge lost his job.
If that happens of course; I'm getting ahead of myself.
Perhaps though, Wedge is a reason a few of these players didn't get it done in Cleveland went on do it in another place. He was the reason both Phillips and Bradley got traded, as their personalities clashed.
But when personalities don't get twisted up, there has to be a reason and Wedge has shown it a number of times with players other than Gutierrez.
Wedge's failure to trust the young player has been one of his biggest flaws as a manager. What made him such a good minor league manager and the perfect fit for a young Cleveland team when Shapiro took over was his ability to mesh and manage the youngsters.
Things are different now.
While young players may love to play for Wedge, he isn't a big fan of playing young players when he has other options available, especially ones that fit his mold of an ideal baseball player.
Gutierrez wasn't exactly a square peg trying to fit into a round hole, but there was times when Wedge would get critical of him for giving away at-bats.
Now with a little bit of trust, confidence, and playing time, Gutierrez is having a good offensive season for the Mariners. All of this is in addition to the superb defense that he brings to the field.
He really does play Gold Glove-caliber defense and his arm is one of the strongest and most accurate among center fielders.
You mix in the runs he brings in with the runs he saves with defense alone, Gutierrez is more than just an everyday productive outfielder. He's an above average producer, especially if you have him in center field hitting 20 home runs a season.
Grady Sizemore is a 30 to 40 home run a year center fielder, so surely they could have faired pretty well with having someone in right field hit 20 a year.
But like I said earlier, it's pointless to sit here and wonder what could have been. Most Indians fans will do it and a good chunk of them are liars if they told you they believed Gutierrez could do this.
None of that should stop me from continuing to despise the deal that I've despised from day one though. And trust me, it won't.

Portadown fans scrap boycott but call for change
Portadown fans have lifted their boycott of tomorrow's game against Ards, however they have warned the club that their restructuring plans don't go far enough.
Home › Sport › Football › Northern Ireland
Portadown fans have lifted their boycott of tomorrow's game against Ards, however they have warned the club that their restructuring plans don't go far enough.
David Healy has spoken about his desire to remain Linfield manager for many more years. Just past his first anniversary as boss of the Blues, the Northern Ireland legend says he is enjoying life at Windsor Park and is desperate to bring trophies to the club this season and beyond.
PFAI Manager of the Year nominee Kenny Shiels will attempt to end a successful first season in League of Ireland football by leading Derry City to a fourth consecutive win when they visit St Patrick's Athletic tonight.
Crusaders manager Stephen Baxter couldn't resist a little chuckle when it was put to him that there was now daylight between his side and Linfield in the title race.
Neil McCafferty has backed Coleraine to keep being the surprise package of the Danske Bank Premiership. The Bannsiders can leapfrog Linfield into second place in the league table if they conquer Dungannon Swifts at the Showgrounds tonight (8pm).
Institute claimed the North West Senior Cup, defeating neighbours Coleraine in a penalty shoot-out after a 1-1 draw. Young striker Alex Pomeroy was the Drumahoe men's hero, as he fired home their winning spot-kick after Sammy Morrow and Mark Edgar had missed for the...
Crusaders boss Stephen Baxter hailed his young guns after this thrilling County Antrim Shield quarter-final win at the Oval. With a top of the table clash with Linfield pending at the weekend, Baxter took the brave decision to blood a posse of his Under-20 players - and they...
Joe McKinney hit a double as Ards ended Ballymena United's defence of the Toals County Antrim Shield with a 2-1 victory at the Showgrounds. The frontman, who has enjoyed a superb debut season at senior level since stepping up from the Amateur League, scored in each half to send Niall Currie's side into the semi-finals.
It was the match that had people talking even before it kicked off when betting was suspended on Albert Foundry's Co Antrim Shield quarter-final with PSNI at Seaview.
Linfield cruised into the semi-finals of the Co Antrim Shield with a comfortable 3-0 win over Cliftonville last night. The Blues punished some slack defending as they ran out easy winners at Windsor Park.
Linfield cruised into the semi-finals of the Co Antrim Shield on Tuesday night with a comprehensive win over Cliftonville.
Betting was this morning suspended by some bookmakers on the Co Antrim Shield quarter-final tie between the PSNI and Albert Foundry.
Crusaders boss Stephen Baxter says his players will relish another crack at the IRN-BRU Cup — even if it does give him a fixture headache.
David Jeffrey will have indulged in much head-scratching in the hours since his Ballymena United side's 10-match unbeaten run was brought crashing down by Glenavon.
For many managers the task of preparing a squad for a midweek match can often be a bit of a pain - but for Glenavon it is something of a godsend.
Crusaders' IRN-BRU Cup dream has been resurrected but boss Stephen Baxter fears a hectic fixture schedule could damage his side's hopes of securing silverware.
Gerard Lyttle will send his Cliftonville players onto the Windsor Park pitch with the importance of producing a 90-minute display ringing in their ears.

Nacho Novo finally announced himself on the Irish League stage by breaking his Danske Bank Premiership scoring duck — and he insists there are more to come.
Ards boss Niall Currie thought his side had shot themselves in the foot when Dungannon Swifts' Cormac Burke scored what looked to be a winning goal three minutes from the end on Saturday.
Eoin Bradley believes that Glenavon's five-goal thumping of Ballymena United can kick-start the Lurgan side's season and help them push for the Gibson Cup.
Linfield's record 51 title triumphs doesn't give them the right to expect the Gibson Cup to be handed to them on a plate.
Interim Portadown manager Vinny Arkins is hoping that Saturday's win over Ballinamallard United at Ferney Park is the turning point for their season.
Derry City claimed third spot in the SSE Airtricity League last night with a deserved victory over Sligo Rovers as boss Kenny Shiels extended his Brandywell contract until the end of the 2018 season.
Gerard Lyttle says repetition is the secret to Cliftonville's recent upturn in fortunes. Following an inconsistent start to the season, the Reds' 2-1 victory over Linfield on Tuesday night was their seventh win in eight outings - the only aberration being a derby defeat to Crusaders when...
Aaron Harmon believes Glentoran can still salvage their season, but admits they must become more streetwise.
Mark Haughey says Linfield's first league loss won't lead to a Windsor Park wobble. The Blues suffered their first Danske Bank Premiership defeat of the season in midweek when Cliftonville triumphed 2-1 at Solitude, denying David Healy's side the chance to secure top spot in the table.
Ballymena United defender Kyle Owens says the Sky Blues have nothing to fear when they take on Glenavon at Mourneview Park today.
October 21 marks the day George Best had arguably his finest game in a Northern Ireland shirt in a 1-0 win at Windsor Park.
Vinny Arkins says he's determined to steady the Portadown ship and he could be remaining in the Shamrock Park hotseat for a long time.
Coleraine boss Oran Kearney believes Linfield will resemble a wounded tiger when they visit the Ballycastle Road Showgrounds tomorrow.
Carrick Rangers manager Aaron Callaghan believes his old team Crusaders have become the standard bearers in Irish League football.
Derry City will secure third place for the first time in five seasons if they defeat Sligo Rovers at the Brandywell this evening.
Glenavon are likely to appeal the four-match ban dished out to their player-boss Gary Hamilton for violent conduct.
By no means is David Healy advocating video replays in the Danske Bank Premiership - but he used one to validate his gut feeling on Tuesday night.
David Healy claimed a disputed refereeing decision cost Linfield their unbeaten record in the Danske Bank Premiership last night. The Blues suffered their first league loss of the season as goals from James Knowles and Jay Donnelly helped Cliftonville to a 2-1 win in an end-...
The first indication comes as the two teenage boys watching eagerly at the front of the stand suddenly reach for their mobile phones.
Cliftonville smashed Linfield's unbeaten record to reignite their own title aspirations in a heart-stopping showdown at Solitude on Tuesday night.
They've beaten Linfield and Crusaders in the past week but Kyle Owens says there is even more to come from high-flying Ballymena United.
On the day that new Carrick Rangers manager Aaron Callaghan guided his men to their first point in eight games, it was more of the same for Glenavon boss Gary Hamilton.
Striker Andy Waterworth believes he is ready to start climbing the goal charts.
Curtis Allen has praised the impact that Gary Haveron is making at Glentoran.
Vinny Arkins has revealed that he tried to talk Pat McGibbon out of quitting as manager of troubled Portadown.
Gerard Lyttle admits he should be content with three points, two goals and a clean sheet - but insists he'll always strive for perfection.
Portadown Football Club was last night plunged into more turmoil when manager Par McGibbon sensationally quit after only five months in the job.
Linfield manager David Healy has demanded a response following the midweek League Cup demise against Ballymena United.
Linfield officials are hoping to hold talks with Northern Ireland First Minister Arlene Foster today to discuss the club's plans to put their own distinctive mark on the new-look Windsor Park.
Jim Ervin says he's not surprised that David Jeffrey has got Ballymena United flying as his professional approach to management and hunger for success have never changed.
Declan Caddell has sent a 'get well soon' message to his Crusaders team-mate Ross Holden after the youngster suffered a horrific head injury on Wednesday night.
Portadown legends Philip Major and Richard Clarke say the club's fans have a massive part to play in digging Pat McGibbon's men out of their deepening crisis.

There is no escaping a Reaper. I am an elite assassin, part of a brotherhood that only answers to Death. And when Death says your time is up, I am coming for you...
My secret is an ancient one. I exist to exact vengeance on the Fae for their wrongs per Death's orders. When I'm sent as a spy to one of the most treacherous, deceitful places in any realm – the court of the Light Queen – things go awry. Neve captured my soul with just a look from her seductive gaze. She is who I want, who I crave…who I hunger for. But someone has set out to kill her – and expose me. I'll destroy any man – human or Fae – who brings harm to her, for she is the light my soul can't risk losing.
Get a sneak peek at Donna Grant's Dark Alpha's Demand (available May 17, 2016) with an exclusive excerpt of a selected scene.
Chapter One
Light Fae Court
Western Ireland
Talin pushed open the thirty—foot double doors and entered . . . Hell. The court of Queen Usaeil was a gorgeous one. All around him, Light Fae with their midnight hair and silver eyes—their beauty a trait of being a Fae—danced, laughed, and plotted.
He paused steps into the massive room and surveyed the huge chamber. Everything glittered—per Usaeil's demand. The decorations were white and gold, with splashes of vivid, breathtaking flowers in various colors everywhere.
There wasn't an inch of the Queen's castle that didn't bespeak wealth and beauty. Add in the Light Fae, and the brilliance made it difficult to gaze upon.

Discover Sued Over 'Deceptive' Marketing
Minnesota's attorney general filed a lawsuit against Discover Financial Services Inc., DFS -0.38 % accusing the credit-card company of making "aggressive, misleading and deceptive" telemarketing calls that led customers to sign up for financial products without knowing they would be charged for them.
The lawsuit, filed in state district court in Hennepin County, is the latest effort by authorities to rein in credit-card companies that are pumping up their profits by selling fraud-protection and other credit-related products to customers. The plans have long come under fire from consumer groups, which say that customers often don't need or understand such services.
Although credit-card companies have sold these products for years, they are under even more pressure now to generate revenue from such services due to new laws that restrict certain practices that generated substantial profits in the past.
The Minnesota lawsuit takes aim at four Discover products, including a "payment protection plan" that suspends a customer's obligation to make monthly credit-card payments under certain circumstances, such as unemployment or disability. The service costs 89 cents a month for every $100 of a credit-card balance. Another product, identity-theft protection, costs $12.99 a month, while a credit-score tracker costs $7.99 a month.
Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson said her office has received an increasing amount of complaints from consumers who say they were duped into the products. Discover represented the bulk of the complaints, but she said that she is also investigating complaints about other companies.
"People expect their credit-card company to stop and prevent these fraudulent charges, not to be the ones making them," she said in an interview. The lawsuit says the company enrolled "tens of thousands of Minnesotans and charged them millions of dollars for enrollment in the plans."
Discover declined to comment specifically on the lawsuit, but defended its practice of selling such services. The company earned more than $295 million from enrolling customers in optional fee-based products last year, according to the lawsuit.
"It's not in Discover's interest to sell a product that doesn't enhance our relationship with our card members. Many card members find Discover's protection products valuable as they provide peace of mind," the company said in a statement.
The lawsuit asks the court to order Discover to stop such practices and reimburse customers who bought services they don't want. It also seeks an unspecified amount of civil penalties.
Based in Riverwoods, Ill., Discover both issues credit cards and provides an electronic network to process payments. The company had about $50 billion in loans outstanding at the end of August, making it less than half the size of industry giants Bank of America Corp. and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.
The lawsuit contends that Discover customers received phone calls from the company that at first appeared to be "courtesy calls" to talk about its cash-back rewards program. The Discover representative then changed the subject, describing the fee-based product as if it is a regular card feature, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit also contends that Discover representatives sometimes read scripts quickly or mumble so that the customer doesn't understand what is being sold, or distorts disclosures associated with the product.
"Discover's telemarketers employ an array of deceptive tactics to elicit an affirmative response from the cardholder without the cardholder actually understanding that they are supposedly agreeing to purchase an optional product for a monthly fee," according to the lawsuit.
Such programs have come under attack in the past. In 2005, credit-reporting agency Experian settled charges with the Federal Trade Commission that it tricked customers into signing up for a credit-monitoring service. And in 2000, Providian Financial Corp. agreed to pay $105 million to settle a series of consumer class-action lawsuits related to the marketing and sale of credit-protection and other products.
"The biggest credit-card companies make huge amounts of money by getting their customers to sign up for add-ons that are useless," said Edmund Mierzwinski, consumer program director at U.S. Public Interest Research Group.
