Swimming Opens Season at the All-NC Invitational; Eight Records Broken in Two Days of Competition
October 5, 2013
Full Results
GREENSBORO, N.C. The Pfeiffer mens and womens swimming teams are kicking off the 2013-14 season by competing in the All-N.C. Invitational at the Greensboro Aquatic Center. The Invitational is comprised of Division I and II teams and is a two-day event. Three school records were broken on Friday evening, as the mens team currently sits in sixth place, just behind Gardner-Webb, while the women are in ninth.
A trio of freshmen swimmers paced the mens team on the first day of competition.
Dmitry Kozlov took home third place in the 500-yard freestyle, finishing just over a second behind the first-place swimmer, setting a school record in the process with a time of 4:37.04. Teammate Dima Turkin placed fourth in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 21.25, also breaking a school record. In the 200-yard individual medley, Valentin Kaufmann finished just outside of the top-10 with a time of 1:57.32.
The 400-yard medley relay team of Kaufmann, Turkin, Kozlov and sophomore Ethan Garrison, placed fifth with a time of 3:28.26, which is the best time in school history.
On the womens side, the quartet of Ekaterina Galichenko, Jessica Burgess, Jillian Kniffen and Morgan Dionne finished the 200-yard freestyle medley in a time of 1:47.95. Finishing directly behind them was the team of Kimberly Eurillo, Cydney Donnelly, Bailey Holshouser and Brittney Quaranto, who finished two-and-a-half seconds behind their teammates. Galichekno had the best individual performance for the Lady Falcons, as she finished the 200-yard individual medley in a time of 2:16.61.
Day two of the invitational was a busy one for both the men's and women's squads with Pfeiffer shattering five more school records. For the second straight day, the men's team was led by the trio of freshmen consisting of Turkin, Kaufmann, and Kozlov and the women's squad saw competitive performances from Galichenko and Dionne.
The men's team came away with eight total top ten finishes on the day, two of those swimmers finishing in the top five of their individual events. Kozlov put up two fifth place finishes of his own, with a school-record time of 4:02.86 in the men's 400 yard IM, and a time of 2:08.55 in the men's 200 yard breaststroke. The Falcons also got top ten finishes from Turkin who boasted the teams' best performance of the day with a time of 51.22 in the men's 100 yard backstroke, good enough for a school record and a second place finish in the event.. Turkin's other top ten finishes came in the men's 100 yard butterfly (6th), and the men's 100 yard freestyle (7th) where his time was good enough for his third school record of the day. Turkin then broke his own record in the 100 yard freestyle during his leg of the team's relay event.
Rounding out the performance for the men's team was Kaufmann who contributed top ten finishes in the men's 100 yard backstroke (10th) and the men's 200 yard backstroke (7th). The men's 400 yard freestyle relay team consisting of Kaufmann, Turkin, Kozlov, and Garrison also put up a 10th place finish and boasted another school record with a time of 3:10.92.
The women's team received a solid performance from Galichenko in the 100 yard butterfly, finishing with a time of 1:01.39. The women's highest finish of day two came in the 1650 yard freestyle from Dionne who completed the almost mile-long event in an impressive 19:49.58.
With all events now complete, the men's team finished in 7th place amassing 556 team points and the women's team finished in 11th place for the weekend behind 115 points.
Both squads return to action on October 18th when they travel to Gaffney, S.C. for the Carolinas' Meet.

Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine faculty member Richard Chegwidden, Ph.D., F.R.S.C., Director of the Problem-Based Learning Pathway of the College of Osteopathic Medicine and Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, has been invited to lecture at the first International Conference on Drug Design and Discovery from Feb. 4-7, 2008, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Dr. Chegwidden will lecture at the conference, which will feature the participation of 15 Nobel Laureates.
|Richard Chegwidden, Ph.D., F.R.S.C.
Dr. Chegwidden will present a lecture titled "The Carbonic Anhydrases: Potential Therapeutic Targets in Renal Carcinoma." The author of numerous research papers in medical enzymology, gene technology, cancer research and medical education, he edits one of the major research volumes in his field, "The Carbonic Anhydrases: New Horizons."
Renal cancer commonly remains undetected until it has become widespread, and tends to be somewhat unresponsive to current forms of chemotherapy. Consequently the development of a new form of treatment would be particularly valuable. Dr. Chegwidden has shown that highly specific inhibitors of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase also inhibit the growth and invasive properties of human renal cancer cells in culture, and the growth of human renal tumors implanted into animal models. A specific form of this enzyme is present in renal cancer cells, especially in cases with the worst prognosis, but not in normal kidney, nor in benign tumors. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors have been used in the past for treatment of other disorders, and are known to have minimal side effects.
On the International Conference on Drug Design and Discovery's official Web site, Richard Ernst, Nobel Laureate and Chairman of the conference's organizing committee, said the conference "will host leading scientists and Nobel Laureates from academia and industry worldwide, to discuss the latest developments in drug design and discovery. The conference aims to provide many interesting perspectives on how the science and technology of drug discovery is changing and will continue to change in the modern era."
Dr. Chegwidden organized and chaired three international research conferences, acted as session chair at 18 conferences, and has been invited to speak at 35 conferences in 18 countries. He has been on international advisory committees for research conferences in Oxford, England; San Antonio, Texas; Beijing and Shanghai, China; Stockholm, Sweden; and Berlin, Germany. The Dubai conference will be his first visit to the Middle East.

Poker chips are loads of fun, there's no doubt about that. It doesn't even matter if you're a poker player — just ask anyone who has a spare set of poker chips and a toddler or two! The small, smooth with a few embellishments, multicolored discs are just… fun.
There are lots of blogs out there with tons of great ideas on poker-themed parties and uses for poker chips. There are definitely of few of them right on this site, like this one on adult-themed parties, a fun corporate event in this one, or this one about a casino party!
Poker chips don't have to be all fun and games, though (well yes, yes they do end up always being fun!); consider a few other creative ways to use them. For birthdays and special events, poker chips can be used as gift tags. Use a permanent marker to inscribe the recipient's name on the smooth white clay surface. Adhere with double-sided tape and/or some fancy "ribboning" and you have unique and durable gift tags. Unlike the typical cardboard ones, these aren't going to get bent, creased, ripped in half, or otherwise marred beyond recognition.
If you have loads of keys to keep track of (office, safe, shed, storage space, minivan, gym locker, etcetera), key tag poker chips in different colors are a fun and different way to organize. Also: use the poker chip key tags as prom or other school dance "tickets" to give the party-goers the keys to the dance!
Whether you are in education in a school system, if you home school (or know someone who does!), or have a toddler of your own to keep busy, sorting, matching, and color recognition games are important part of development to incorporate in learning and playing. If you already have some poker chips and your little one found out about it, you know how much they enjoy them. Why not get gobs of poker chips in blue, green, gold, purple, green, red, yellow, and black that you can use with your child, children, or preschool or daycare that are specifically for them? An added bonus to this is that you'll never have to fuss with sorting out the jumbled and sticky chips before poker night again. Here are some fun learning activities to get your play-magination going.
Finally, here are some DIY ideas for the crafty readers out there. Glue clothes pins to poker chips personalized with your event (graduation, bat mitzvah, military homecoming…) and use them to do any or all of the following:
- hold tablecloths onto tables
- hold and weight name cards for seating
- display photographs (clip the clothes pins onto ribbon and then clip in the photos)
- whatever your imagination dictates you need to clip!
At the end of the event, you can even let guests take the personalized poker chip clips as favors!
Another DIY craft idea is to create a unique gift for that special person who loves poker. Make wind chimes! Using an assortment of mini bells, sleighbells, poker chips, and florist wire, you can wind together your own unique design and create something that looks and sounds beautiful. You could even host a craft party and have this be the project. Don't worry, if you need to use a spot of hot glue to help the florist wire along, we won't tell.
Remember, don't be afraid to step outside the box and use something that is already fun in a totally unique way — take a gamble!

"Not in my backyard" is a phrase that has acquired a bunch of negative connotations since it came into common usage in the 80s.

At Terrible Minds, Chuck Wendig writes about Mad Max: Fury Road and Game of Thrones. "So, two very popular storyworlds. Two portrayals of a world where women hold dubious power and are seen as 'things.' One of these is roundly criticized for it. One of them is roundly celebrated for it. Game of Thrones catches hell for its portrayal of women and this subject. Mad Max is wreathed in a garland of bike chains and hubcabs for it. What, then, is the difference? Let's try to suss it out."

Speaking of refocused insults: the web has more than a hundred examples of "noisy parker" for "nos(e)y parker."
A nosey parker is someone who pries into the affairs of other in an unwelcome way. The phrase first appeared in the late 19th century. It's .
Presumably a noisy parker is an intrusive person who pries a bit too loudly.
: "I'm sorry that I even tryed talking to you guys, reading back at the comments, you lot made me sound as a *noisy parker*"
: "this is a prime example of why i posted a post asking people to fill out profile or be specific. not being a noisy parker but how can anyone answer this post. without knowing a little bit about the poster ."
: "Just another noisy parker question from me I am afraid!! "
Those noisy parkers should really keep their snouts out of other people's business.

We chose PalMar to spend our day in Cozumel. It was fantastic because there were no crowds at all! We rented some snorkeling gear and had a great time. We're going on another cruise next March and have already decided to come back to PalMar. Your staff was terrific and they DID make the best guacamole we've ever had!! Thank you again for opening up your place.
The Bailey's ~ Melbourne FL
Dear Sherri - I just wanted to tell you how much my friend and I enjoyed spending the day at Palmar when we were on a cruise last week. Your staff are some of the most gracious, polite, and accommodating gentlemen I have ever met. This was my second visit to Palmar and the first for my friend. She was overwhelmed by the hospitality, and we both enjoyed the tour and explanation of the butterflies as well. Thank you again for a wonderful day at Palmar. Sincerely, JG
J Gourley ~ N/A
Sherri, We had the most wonderful time with you in May! You and your staff made our weekend there in Cozumel with your great hospitality. The grounds are beautiful, food was great and the snorkeling ~ well my group just could not get enough and were amazed by the tropical sealife there off your beach. We look so much forward to coming back and seeing you again very soon. Tell the staff thanks again and say hello to the family for us as well. Take care:0) ....Happy Cruise Passenger
J. Wellborn ~ Alabama
Hi Sherri, I'm putting together our scrapbook from our vacation and wanted to thank you again for your hospitality at PalMar Estate Beach Club! We had a great time at your place in Cozumel. It was nice to have such a wonderful place to go while we were in a place that we had never been to before! I have been giving a lot of people at work your info since I know quite a few of them visit that area for vacations. Thanks so much!
The Taylors ~ Portland, OR
Sherri: wanted to let you know what a great time we had at your resort. It was exactly what I was hoping for!
The personal attention was wonderful, as both you and your staff were so friendly and helpful, and we were warmly welcomed as if we were "old" friends. The quaintness of the private home and the nice beach were great, and the fish we saw while snorkeling off your beach were better than the ones we saw during an expensive excursion booked thru the cruise ship in Belize!
I will definitely recommend your website to others, and I've already told many friends about the Palmar Beach Club. Thank you again for a wonderful time in Cozumel and I wish you all the best in your endeavors.

The Jones Senior girls' basketball team threw the first punch against Lejeune, going up 2-0 at the start of the game Friday night.
However, the Devilpups countered with their own arsenal with an 8-0 run, and never looked back in routing the Trojans 65-40 in both team's Coastal Plains 1-A Conference opener.
Lejeune is now 10-0 overall while Jones Senior fell to 2-9 overall.
"We knew that we were going to have to play tough against them (Jones) because even though they are young, they are athletic," Lejeune first-year coach Ken Popadines said. "I'm proud of what we did tonight, especially from the long layover from Christmas break. It is nice to be able to pick up right from where you left off."
Later, the Lejeune boys were not as lucky, losing to Jones Senior 97-81.
For the Lejeune girls, guard Chatori Major led all scorers with 34 points while teammate Chryssandia Tatum added 11.
Jones Senior kept the game close at 16-9 after the first quarter as both teams were jumping in passing lanes and forcing turnovers.
The Devilpups then turned up their intensity. They used a 24-point second quarter to build a 20-point lead going into halftime. Jones Senior confused the Devilpups with a box-and-one defense against Major, but couldn't convert anything on the offensive side.
"I think inexperience showed on our behalf tonight," Jones Senior coach Debbie Philyaw said. "We are reloading as a group and having to play a lot of freshmen. Lejeune has a few key players that have been around and know each other well and it showed on the court tonight."
A freshman that did the most damage tonight for the Trojans was Franlenu Brimmage, who led the team with 20 points. No other Trojan scored in double digits.
After going into halftime with a 40-20 cushion, the Devilpups proceeded to put their foot on the gas and pushed their lead to 30 with an impressive full-court press, patience on offense, and unselfishness throughout the game.
"Everyone is a year older now and has been around the game together for a long time," Popadines added. "Our starters who were freshmen last year have grown up and when teams want to try and shut down Chatori, we have other people that can step up and play big roles in situations like that."
Lejeune led 58-29 after three quarters and moved to a four-corner offense to help run down the clock. Jones Senior eventually would cut its deficit down to 15 but by then it was too late.
Jones Senior 97 Lejeune 81
There aren't many nights where you see a basketball player score fourty or more points and their team still ends up with the loss.
Lejeune fans got to witness that as the Devilpups' Ryan Evans scored 42 points, doing most of his damage in a fourth-quarter comeback attempt.
However, Lejeune came up short and lost its
"It's bittersweet and hard not to celebrate a young man's performance like the one he (Evans) had tonight," Lejeune coach Joey Malott said. "I've told my team that we are way better than what our record shows. At times we are clicking on all cylinders, but we have to play that way for the whole 32 minutes."
Jones Senior outscored Lejeune 25-12 in the third quarter, but other than that quarter, the game was neck and neck.
"I told my team that even though we have only won one game, its conference now and everyone is 0-0," Evans said. "We are going to take this game, learn from it, and continue to work hard every day."
Jones Senior had four players in double digits and three of them scored 20 points or more.
Jones Senior 9 11 9 11 — 40
Lejeune 16 24 18 7 — 65
F. Brimmage 20, Stalen 5, A. Brimmage 6, McKinron 4, Brooks 3, Gathins 2 Totals— 13 13-26 40.

I live in a place much like Chicago, the windy city, so it is not the below zero numbers that make me hate every winter jacket, but the negative wind factor that does it. This jacket makes me super happy because it is wind resistant. Ideally this jacket would also be so warm that I could almost sweat standing still (I like to be warm) but it does recommend and I would as well, for those harsh unbearable cold days to put another jacket underneath it. With the idea of wearing another jacket underneath, I would say that the fit surprised me. I am 5'5" & 130 and ordered the medium. It fits me like it is tailored to me. I will need to find a snug down filled jacket to go under. Side note to the women out there that like more of a form fitting jacket, this has the slendering lines in the lower back of jacket so you don't look square in the front. I was most impressed with the high quality sewing on the jacket but the jacket makes swishing noises as the fabric rubs against itself.
SUUUUUPER warm! Feels like wearing a cloud. A cloud of warmth and protection. I'm 5'7" 135lb and fit the Med perfectly with a bit of room for layers (you don't need them) just in case. Hood is insulated, too, with plenty of helmet room and synches down well without. The length of the jacket hits just below my waist line, with a nice little extra length over the bum. I really love the relaxed but still cute fit of it, having despised other women's jackets that hug curves way too much (we don't all want to walk the runway in our technical winter coats). This is my second Arcteryx jacket and I have to say, even though their price tags are crazy high, these things rock! Only complaint is that this version does not have any chest pockets, where I like to keep my monies safe from hands/gloves constantly entering/exiting. Below 0F temps, freezing rain, and crazy wind? No probelm!
I got this jacket in the Feather Frost colour, from the picture, I would totally believe it is white in colour, but it is really grey in colour. Doesn't look good at all, look so dull and old... I'm returning it. Quite disappointed.
I'm a sissy when it comes to the cold, but this jacket is incredible! I wear it all the time-around town, snowshoeing in the woods and at the Sleeping Bear Dunes, and walking around campus. The Gore-Tex is amazing; I never feel the wind, yet it is still breathable, and both dry and sloppy snowflakes just slip off the jacket.Warmth-wise, I'm toasty to the core whether its 15 degrees or 50 degrees. In temperatures in the teens, I do layer with a mid-weight fleece or merino base layer. The jacket's hood cinches down tight when I need to batten down the hatches, and I love that it is insulated like the rest of the jacket, as well as the tall collar that keeps my neck completely protected. The fit is very feminine and is roomy enough for heavier layers and free movement. The jacket is amazingly light and slim cut. I have the feather-frost color, which is more white-ish-gray than snow white, and it has a pretty dark purple lining. I'm 110 lbs, and I bought a size small; it fits perfectly.
Arct'ryx do it again! With all the elements you come to take for granted with Arct'ryx, quality fabrics matched with a simple, but fitted, cut. However, the real stand out feature of this jacket, differentiating it from its competitors, is the coupling of the performance of an outer shell with significant insulation both in the body and the hood.The heather colour is a matt white, and is therefore not too in-your-face and showy. The inner lining is a medium purple colourThe size and fit is true to its advertised sizeDo yourself a favour and treat your wife to one of these. Stylish and practical matched with outstanding performance.

XA support in the driver and the DB look good. Documentation is too light.
Supported version(s)
Tested against 9.1 Express-C.
All default settings are fine.
A single command allows listing in-doubt transactions, forcing their termination and forgetting them:

BTM 1.0 cannot be used with IBM DB2. This is because IBM's JDBC driver does not allow XAResource calls after the java.sql.Connection object acquired from javax.sql.XAConnection has been closed (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-246). This is fixed in BTM 1.1 thanks to the new
keepConnectionOpenUntilAfter2Pc parameter. BTM 1.2 removed that flag so DB2 just works without setting anything special.
Supported version(s)
Tested against versions 10.00.TC3TL and 10.00.TC5I1 both with driver version 3.00.JC3.
All default settings are fine. Local transactions seems to mix well with global transactions thus you can enable
Informix fully supports Transaction Interleaving so you should set
deferConnectionRelease to
false if you properly configured the datasource and the database: all tables must be configured with row-level locking and you have to update the statistics in the system catalogs that the optimizer uses to determine the lowest-cost query plan. This basically means executing these commands:
|Code Block
ALTER TABLE [table 1] LOCK MODE (ROW); ALTER TABLE [table 2] LOCK MODE (ROW); ALTER TABLE [table 3] LOCK MODE (ROW); ... UPDATE STATISTICS HIGH;
This gets the list of prepared transactions: onstat -G.
I could not find to to heuristically terminate the TX however. Documentation speaks about
onmode -Z <address> but I get this error when I try:
|Code Block
onmode: Cannot kill transaction <address>. Only I-STAR subordinates that are PREPARE'd or HEURISTICally ABORT'd may be heuristically completed.
Example ResourceLoader configuration

You have to create your databases with
create database with log or else the XA datasource will refuse to connect to it. If you do not configure driver property
ifxIFX_LOCK_MODE_WAIT to be different than
0, you will get this exception if you run multiple transactions concurrently:
|Code Block
java.sql.SQLException: Could not insert new row into the table. ... Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: ISAM error: key value locked ...
See http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v10/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.jdbc.doc/jdbc55.htm.
Another cause for this problem is that by default XA transactions with the same GTRID don't share locks. Setting
ifxIFX_XASPEC to
Y allows those locks to be shared which not only helps solving locking problems but will also improve overall speed.

Microsoft SQL Server
Supported version(s)
Tested against version 2005 Express with Microsoft JDBC driver version 1.2
All default settings are fine. Local transactions seems to mix well with global transactions thus you can enable
XA transactions are controlled by Microsoft DTC. Run
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Component Services. Then choose
Component Services > Computers > My Computer > Distributed Transaction Coordinator > Transaction List.
From there, you have a list of all in-doubt transactions. You can force termination or forget by right clicking on the entries.
Example ResourceLoader configuration
|Code Block
resource.ds.className=com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerXADataSource resource.ds.uniqueName=sqlsrv resource.ds.maxPoolSize=5 resource.ds.driverProperties.user=users1 resource.ds.driverProperties.password=users1 resource.ds.driverProperties.serverName=localhost
XA seems to work fine when everything is setup properly but this is no simple task.
You need to grab the Microsoft JDBC driver from http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/jdbc/. Version 1.1 does not work so grab version 1.2 instead. You then have to copy the
sqljdbc_xa.dll inside SQL Server's
binn folder then execute
xa_install.sql as user
sa as documented.
You must also enable MS DTC's XA support and grant
SqlJDBCXAUser role to your user as explained here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa342335.aspx
Note to Windows XP users:
Windows XP lacks some internal components related to DTC as discussed here: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=262525. Microsoft has fixed this issue and released a Hotfix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922668. Unfortunately you cannot freely download it, you must call Microsoft support to get it. Also, it refuses to install on any non-English version of Windows.
Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 are said to be unaffected by this problem.
Supported version(s)
Tested against 220.127.116.11 and 10 XE both with Oracle driver 10.2.0.1.0.
All default settings are fine. Local transactions seems to mix well with global transactions thus you can enable
I could not heuristically terminate a prepared transaction with
COMMIT FORCE / ROLLBACK FORCE. Could be a bug in my version of XE or me not understanding how to do it. I followed these instructions without success: http://www.akadia.com/services/ora_important_part_1.html#How%20to%20remove%20%ABin-doubt%BB%20transactions. There is no show-stopper except for this problem but I suspect it works fine in other versions.
To view current XA transactions, query system view
Example ResourceLoader configuration
|Code Block
resource.ds.className=oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource resource.ds.uniqueName=oracle resource.ds.maxPoolSize=5 resource.ds.driverProperties.user=users1 resource.ds.driverProperties.password=users1 resource.ds.driverProperties.URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE
The driver and the DB support all the features of XA but sometimes in an exotic and non-standard way. Handling of
XAResource.XA_RDONLY is quite bizarre. Error messages returned by the driver are poor at best and often non-existent. Documentation is low in quality and sparse.
You need these privileges to run XA transactions:
|Code Block
grant select on sys.dba_pending_transactions to user_test; grant select on sys.pending_trans$ to user_test; grant select on sys.dba_2pc_pending to user_test; grant execute on sys.dbms_system to user_test;
I could not find documentation about this anywhere, I had to spy the driver to figure that out.
There are several limitations to Oracle's XA support. One of them is for instance the use of temporary tables which is forbidden, see: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=638791&tstart=0. There is a suggestion of a workaround using two connections.
Some user reported to have tested direct use of the underlying OracleConnection instead of the BTM connection handler but that didn't work. Other workarounds have been tried too without much success either. See http://www.nabble.com/Oracle-exception-to16479456.html for more details.
If someone can suggest a working solution be welcome to contribute it.
Oracle Spatial cannot be used together with XA anymore starting with 10g due to this limitation, see: http://escuelle.blogspot.com/2008/11/ora-14450.html
Supported version(s)
Tested against version 8.3 with driver version 8.3-603.
All default settings are fine.
Not fully supported. You can list in-doubt transactions and force their termination but the database will immediately forget about them.
To get the list of in-doubt transactions, query the
pg_prepared_xacts system view.
You can then forcibly commit or rollback any pending one with
COMMIT TRANSACTION '<content of the GID column>' or
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION '<content of the GID column>'
Example ResourceLoader configuration
|Code Block
resource.ds.className=org.postgresql.xa.PGXADataSource resource.ds.uniqueName=pgsql resource.ds.maxPoolSize=5 resource.ds.driverProperties.user=postgres resource.ds.driverProperties.password=postgres resource.ds.driverProperties.databaseName=postgres resource.ds.driverProperties.serverName=localhost
Started to work really well very recently. Driver version 8.3-603 is the very first one that is fully working with BTM, do not try using any earlier version.
There is a configuration setting called
max_prepared_transactions in
postgresql.conf which defaults to 5. This is the maximum amount of XA transactions that can exist at any single time in the database. The default setting is way too low to be useful. It is recommended to set it at least to twice the maximum amount of connections in your pool.
Sybase ASE
Supported version(s)
Tested against versions 12.5.3 and 15 both with driver jConnect version 5.5.
All default settings are fine. Local transactions seems to mix well with global transactions thus you can enable
sp_transactions stored procedure shows in-doubt transactions.
Terminate an in-doubt transaction with
dbcc complete_xact ('<content of xactname column of sp_transactions>', '<commit/rollback>').
Forget a transaction with
dbcc forget_xact ('<content of xactname column of sp_transactions>').
User must have
sa_role role to call
sp_transactions or
dbcc, see: http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.help.ase_12.5.1.dtm/html/dtm/dtm1.htm.
Example ResourceLoader configuration
|Code Block
resource.ds.className=com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybXADataSource resource.ds.uniqueName=ase resource.ds.maxPoolSize=5 resource.ds.driverProperties.user=users1 resource.ds.driverProperties.password=users1 resource.ds.driverProperties.serverName=localhost resource.ds.driverProperties.portNumber=5000
XA support is handled by Distributed Transaction Manager that is not part of the default install (must be manually selected during the installation) and must be manually enabled in the DB before it can be used: http://manuals.sybase.com/onlinebooks/group-as/asg1250e/xainterf/@Generic__BookTextView/1079.
After too many unfinished transactions (not sure here) the database segments get full because of transaction logs. Symptoms are that connections get stuck and eventually even opening a new connection freezes the client process. You can clean that using these commands as user
|Code Block
dump tran <database name> with truncate_only
See: http://www.isug.com/Sybase_FAQ/ASE/section1.3.html#1.3.1.
There is a bug in the JDBC driver that messes up recovery: calling commit or rollback on a heurstically terminated transaction, an
XAException is thrown with an invalid error code (0) instead of
XA_HEUR<something>. Stack trace looks as follow in that case:
|Code Block
javax.transaction.xa.XAException: Unrecognized return code from server: -259 at com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybXAResource.a(Unknown Source) at com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybXAResource.a(Unknown Source) at com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybXAResource.a(Unknown Source) at com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybXAResource.rollback(Unknown Source) at bitronix.tm.drivers.SybaseTest.testRecover(SybaseTest.java:101) ...
See http://search.sybase.com/kbx/changerequests?bug_id=417417
There is another bug in the driver that makes it add a
SQLWarning to a connection each time it is enlisted.
See http://search.sybase.com/kbx/changerequests?bug_id=531772
Driver and DB seems to be reasonably well implemented and documented otherwise.

Hello. I'm one of the newest members of TALARC and wanted to first say hello to the group. I'm looking foward to any involvement I can provide to club activities. I am also an ALR member and noticed the earlier discussion about a possible TALARC patch in the works. I'd like to add one to my ALR vest as well.
I thumbed through the earlier messages and I don't believe I found anything on this subject, so pardon me if this has already been discussed. I was thinking that it might be nice to coordinate an annual event, say for example the American Legion Birthday event that took place this past March 15 through 17, and expand that to activating American Legion posts nation- or even world-wide. Hams could set up a station at their local posts and operate as long as they are able to do so (even if for only a few hours or all weekend). It could be promoted/encouraged for all hams to contact these posts on this partictular weekend.
I have seen similar ham radio events such as lighthouse activations or military ship activation weekends. I wasn't necessairly thinking of making it a contest, but rather a fun gathering of as many American Legion posts on the air one weekend a year. I'm certain that the other members of the local posts would find this type of activity to be very interesting, and might even drum up some additional business for these posts on this partictular weekend... which usually equates to a favorable approval from the post command of ham radio activity on that weekend.
Additional ideas would be to offer to send valid contacts on that weekend a 'certificate' if they would be willing to send in a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope). This, of course, would require some additional work, but it would be nice to receive some type of recognition if, say, a partictular ham were to make contacts with 10, or 25, etc.. or so different posts. Or possibly some type of recognition of the use of different modes (CW, SSB, data, etc.) and/or bands.
I suppose this TALARC-wide event could be designed in a variety of ways, which is why I thought i'd bring it up for discussion. I noticed a message in these forums that was posted very early on by K0HB who wondered what other types of events beyond the national club station would be planned, and I thought this idea could fit the bill nicely.
What do you think?
Marty Grove - KJ4LQX
Marty - I think this idea has merit. I especially like the idea of having a Saturday in mid-March and activating the posts. It could be interesting for some of the post members.
(btw - KD4OKR)
Marty, since we are already planning to repeat the Legion Birthday operating schedule in March over three days, we think the idea of promoting a Legion post field day and operating as many stations as possible from American Legion posts is a great way to promote the Legion and TALARC itself. And yes, we do plan to mail special event certificates in return for SASE, as we did in 2012 as well!
Bill, NZ9S, TALARC Secretary
I'm a new member and tried to take the new member survey on-line witout
success. I was able to get info. on the Legion but was not able to you new member info.
John Dupuy
I'm also a new member and like John Dupuy couldn't find the new member survey on line. I'll submit the paper copy instead. Thanks,
Ken MArtinez

GARETH DUNCAN brought you live commentary from the Test in London.
80 mins: Boks win the ball and Hougaard boots the ball into touch. SPRINGBOKS WIN 16-15!
79 mins: From the restart, England replacement lock Mouritz Botha loses the ball into touch. The Boks need to hold on.
78 mins: ENGLAND PENALTY! With just two minutes to go, England win a penalty on the 22m line. They opt to go to posts instead of kicking for posts. Farrell converts. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 16-15!
74 mins: Lambie boots the restart directly out. England then win a penalty at the midfield scrum. Not going well for the Boks.
72 mins: ENGLAND PENALTY! Farrell converts his second penalty to reduce the deficit to four points. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 16-12!
71 mins: Boks are making needless errors in their own red zone. First a kick straight into touch, before an early engagement at the scrum. Louw then concedes a penalty for competing off his feet.
66 mins: Springboks attacking with smart initiative. Lambie finds Pietersen with an accurate chip. But the Boks are dominated at the tackle point by England's physical forwards.
60 mins: ENGLAND PENALTY! England replacement flyhalf Owen Farrell slots his first points of the game after Vermeulen is pinned for an illegal steal. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 16-9!
58 mins: Both teams building some good attacking momentum, but inability to hold onto the ball proves costly.
52 mins: Boks work their way towards the tryline and are 8m out. But Tuilagi intercepts a loose pass and starts a counter-attack that breaks into the Bok 22m area. But the tourists' defence holds up and turnover possession.
48 mins: England break after winning possession from an up and under. Outside centre Manu Tuilagi runs through Lambie, but De Villiers makes a crucial ankle tap on the England hardman. Ben Youngs knocks on the ball from the next breakdown, and Boks escape.
47 mins: Big scuffle off the ball as Ben Youngs and Etzebeth get involved in a tussle. England pack all go for Etzebeth after the whistle before the Boks come to his rescue.
44 mins: SPRINGBOK TRY! Fortunate ricochet for the Boks as flank Willem Alberts scores one of the craziest tries of the year. England defend the rolling maul well. From the next phase, Kruger leaves the ball behind him, England hack the ball through but Pietersen charges down. The ball falls into Alberts' arms, who bashes over. Lambie converts. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 16-6!
42 mins: Boks spread the ball wide and are awarded a penalty near far touchline. Skipper Jean de Villiers turns down the goal attempt and opts for the kick to touch.
41 mins: Lambie restarts, and England make a mess of it. They lose the ball forward, and South Africa have an early scrum.
40 mins: Boks continue to struggle at the scrums, as England force another penalty. The ball is booted into touch and Owens blows for the break.
32 mins: Both teams employ the boot, until England manage to put together an effective counter-attack. Flood, 7m from the tryline, puts in a chip ahead, but the ball goes dead. Boks escape.
29 mins: BIG HIT! Pietersen gets a massive tackle on England inside centre Brad Barritt. The midfielder stays down. Perfect timing from the speedster.
25 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! Easy pickings for Lambie as he slots his third three-pointer. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 9-6!
24 mins: The Springboks enjoy their best period of attacking play. They work their way closer to the England red zone, and the hosts buckle as they concede a penalty. It's right in front of the posts.
20 mins: GREAT DEFENCE! England run 20 phases against the Boks, but struggle to gain ground. No 8 Duane Vermeulen then forces the penalty with a great steal at the tackle point.
18 mins: England's dominance at the scrum continues as the Boks are forced back. However, Flood misses from a kickable position.
17 mins: Owens warns both front rows that he'll reach for his yellow card if the scrum doesn't improve.
14 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! The Springboks force a scrum straight after the restart, as lock Juandre Kruger and flank Francois Louw hold up the ball. England dominate the scrum, but skipper Chris Robshaw releases from an offside position. Lambie converts. SCORES ARE LEVEL AT 6-6!
12 mins: ENGLAND PENALTY! Flood converts from an easy angle. ENGLAND LEAD 6-3!
11 mins: England get the put in to the first scrum down after wing JP Pietersen fails to take in an up and under. Springbok tighthead prop Jannie du Plessis is then penalised by Owens. Another chance for Flood.
9 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! Lambie's first effort is from a difficult angle, but a sweet strike sees the ball sail over the cross bar. SCORE IS LEVEL AT 3-3!
8 mins: Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth steals the ball at an England lineout, and the visitors are on the front foot. They are awarded a penalty several phases later after the hosts infringed illegally at the breakdown.
5 mins: ENGLAND PENALTY! Flood gets it on target on his second attempt. ENGLAND LEAD 3-0!
4 mins: Wing Mike Brown surges into the Springbok red zone after a poor Pienaar box kick. The hosts work their way closer to the chalk, but a poor pass from scrumhalf Ben Youngs sees England lose the ball forward. However, referee Nigel Owens blows for a penalty as he played advantage.
2 mins: Flood gets an early shot at goal, but misses.
KICK-OFF: England flyhalf Toby Flood's kick-off goes deep, and No 8 Duane Vermeulen takes it in cleanly. However, scrumhalf Ruan Pienaar's box kick is charged down and pivot Pat Lambie, who covers up, is put under pressure. England milk the penalty as South Africa are penalised for illegal clearing.

Life saver when growing out bad cut
By Polly Perfect
from Orange County, CA & Las Vegas NV
About Me Beauty Conscious
Comments about Braided Romance Bun by Paula Young®:
I am a perfectionist. ALways leave bedroom in full makeuo and perfect haireven to wash the dog. I'm growing out short haircuts. I have worn chignons(with my own hair) for years and plan to again. This is a life saver but I would like the base to be a little more flexible. The color is a good match. I would like a larger more simple bun similar to a dancers bun.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Minimalist
This bun is so hard that it is impossible to get any hair pins into it to secure it better. So it is constantly loosening and threatening to come off. When I wear it I am constantly worried.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Not quite what I expected
By Deannadoll
from Thomson, GA
The picture of this bun was very deceiving. I thought it was much larger. I had one that I bought from y'all some years ago that was slightly larger in size. My older one still works and is much better in size.

material only good for Halloween costume
By Minsky
from St. Petersburg, FL
I ordered the color white (60). The illustration of that color is pure white. My hair color is pure white. The Braided Romance Bun has a decidedly grey cast. An unnatural grey cast. The filaments do not look at all like real hair. More like Barbie doll hair or halloween costume hair. I have not worn it nor taken the tags off and will return it.
online color not match for bun
By Moi
from Virginia
can't use it, color is so off from online sample
Merchant response: Dear Moi,We are sorry the color you ordered did not meet your satisfaction. Can you let us know which color you ordered so we can review the online presentation?Thank you,Paula Young Customer Support Team
Not So Much...
By Mike's Girl
from Portsmouth, NH
I hadn't ordered in awhile and decided to give this one a try. When it arrived, it looked very much like doll's hair and you could see the glue beads where the smooth and braided areas were joined together. I had high hopes for a polished summer style but I found the quality lacking and returned the purchase.

Crysis Summary
Crysis Review
Crysis is one of those types of games that sets out to redefine quality in its field, while the FPS community have their latest and greatest champion – so too does the gaming industry as a whole.
Latest news
Crysis and Crysis 2 multiplayer "will no longer be playable" from May 31st
With the GameSpy Technologies shutdown this May 31st there are going to be a lot of games with any multiplayer, unless studios get patching. Crytek has confirmed Crysis 1 & 2 will be losing their online portions.
May 31st will be the "conclusion of online multiplayer support" as the GameSpy service shuts off. Both games' single-player campaigns are "unaffected by this transition,".
Reddit compiles list of games for GameSpy's May 31st shutdown
By the end of next month the matchmaking services of GameSpy will be switched off, and that means a number of PC titles won't function properly or at all online. Exactly how far-reaching is the GameSpy service?
Reddit has put together a doomsday list that includes the likes of Halo, Star Wars: Battlefront, Stronghold, the Battlefield series, Crysis, Tom Clancy titles and Quake.
EA bundle "entire collection of Crysis" into Trilogy release
Crytek's Crysis series is now packaged together in a single bundle edition called Crysis Trilogy. From the very humble island beginnings, to the twisted and fractured New York City jungle crammed full of aliens.
So that means Crysis, Crysis: Warhead, Crysis 2 Maximum Edition, Crysis 3 Digital Deluxe Edition and Crysis 3: Lost Island Expansion are now available as a single purchase for £34.99.
Xbox "Ultimate Sale" Day 1 features Assassin's Creed 3, Borderlands 2
The first day of the Xbox 360 "Ultimate Game Sale" has some pretty good deals on Xbox Live Marketplace, with Assassin's Creed 3 being sold for $14.99 USD, Far Cry 3 for $19.99, Max Payne 3 for $9.99 and Borderlands 2 for only $9.99.
Rumour: EA Partners label to discontinue, Respawn's project unaffected
Publisher EA is shaking things up and among the casualties list is apparently the EA Partners label which saw third-party developers have their work signed up for distribution through EA's retail channels.
The likes of Crysis, Left 4 Dead, Portal 2, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Bulletstorm and Rock Band all passed through the program, but now it faces the chop in the pursuit of streamlining.

GREENVILLE — At first glance, Justin Hardy doesn't necessarily look like an elite receiver.
The scrappy East Carolina sophomore has just figured out a way to play like one.
Hardy, a 6-foot, 185-pound former walk-on out of West Craven High School, has demonstrated an innate knack for pulling in passes regardless of the size or skill of his defenders or what opposing coordinators do to try to stop him.
He'll try to continue what has been a strong season by any measure when the Pirates (3-3, 2-1 Conference USA) play host to league foe Memphis today at 4:30 p.m.
In six starts, Hardy has caught 39 passes for 480 yards and five touchdowns, all of which lead the team by a wide margin. And he's done it using a combination of average height and extraordinary craftsmanship carefully honed on the practice field during the off-season.
Hardy's winter, spring and summer work on cuts, breaks, route-running and catching has led to a simple mantra he applies in the fall.
"I know that if the ball is in the air, it's mine," he said. "I've got to go get it."
Hardy has caught touchdown passes in five of six games this season and in nine of his past 11, including a career-long 76-yarder in last week's 40-20 loss at Central Florida.
Primarily a slot receiver last season, he has emerged recently as a weapon on the outside, showing a constant desire to get better.
"That's the best thing about him, is he's confident, but he's also humble enough to work and to keep improving," offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley said. "When you've got the ability he does, that's a pretty good combination."
Hardy is one of several receivers sophomore quarterback Shane Carden believes will continue to make names for themselves as the season plays out.
Seven players, from Hardy to 6-foot-8 Justin Jones to 5-foot-7 Derrick Harris, have caught at least 10 passes for ECU this season.
"We've got some great receivers, and I think right now he's just got the hot hands," Carden said, referring to Hardy. "I think we're going to really start seeing some other receivers explode here in the second half of the season."
This would be a good week to start. Memphis (1-4, 1-0) sits ahead of the Pirates in C-USA's East Division, tied with UCF for first place in the early going. The game is arguably a must-win for a second-place team looking to keep its league title hopes alive.
But third-year ECU head coach Ruffin McNeill said today's contest, which serves as homecoming, is no bigger than the rest.
"We only get one game a week. That's all we get," he said. "And we want to try to win that one game a week. That's all we ask."
Pirates defensive coordinator Brian Mitchell said he is wary of the Tigers' multiple-look offense. Mitchell got to know first-year Memphis coach Justin Fuente when Fuente was an assistant at TCU and Mitchell was on the staff at BYU.
At the midway point of the season, the lack of progress made by his youthful secondary remains Mitchell's top concern. The Pirates are surrendering 278.5 passing yards per game, good for 10th in the 12-team league.
"Overall position mastery back there is probably where we need to show the biggest growth the rest of this year," Mitchell said.
"We've improved in every category except passing yards, and that shows inconsistency in what we're doing back there."
Hardy, meanwhile, hopes to continue to frustrate opposing defensive backs. Riley said Hardy "plays big," attacks the ball and shows a natural ability to catch it.
Last season as a slot receiver, Hardy was often pressed or covered by a bigger body in an attempt to neutralize him. His off-season work has helped turn that strategy into a mistake.
"This year, he's making people pay when they do that," Riley said. "He's really just making himself a dynamic guy, and he still can get so much better. That's what's exciting about him."
Asked about his season at the halfway point, Hardy was only mildly complimentary of himself. But he did agree with Riley.
"I'm pleased," Hardy said, "but I know I can do better."
NOTES: The Pirates lead the series 14-6, including a current six-game winning streak. ... ECU running back Reggie Bullock, who sustained a concussion two weeks ago against Texas-El Paso, will not play today.

Keys to the game: ECU, a 17 1/2-point favorite, must adapt to the Tigers' ever-changing offense, make tackles and play a sound game in the secondary. The Pirates need to seize momentum early and, unlike last week, hang on to it.
