Through loan consolidation, a borrower can combine some or all outstanding student loans into one consolidated loan. Loan consolidation may extend a repayment period, eliminate the hassle of dealing with multiple lenders, allow students to repay a loan as a share of income and may give students a break on interest costs. Loan consolidations are available from the Department of Education's direct loan program, as well as private lenders participating in the department's government-guaranteed (FFEL) program.
The interest rate for a direct consolidation loan is the weighted average of the interest rates on the loans being consolidated, rounded to the nearest higher one-eighth of one percent.
To learn more about Federal Direct Loan Consolidation and to apply, visit www.loanconsolidation.ed.gov. Once you have reviewed the information, you may contact the Direct Loan Origination Center (800) 557-7392 if you have questions. You can apply and track the status of your application on-line. Or you can download the application by clicking on Forms and Publications. If you have federal loans borrowed through a FFEL lender, your FFEL lender may also offer a consolidation loan at the same low rate.

Thick paper, clear photo print, vibrant color
This thank you card looks great! The pictures printed really clearly and the design is cute. The inner scroll makes it easy to fill up the page with the thank you note, as opposed to just a blank inside. The thickness of the paper and the glossiness is very professional. Well worth the money.

Book Review: The Art of Cupping. Hedwig Manz
by Scott R. Smith
There is something about Hedwig Manz�s The Art of Cupping that is certain to appeal to readers. In his own words, Hedwig says the book is for ��practitioners and students�who want to be trained in cupping therapy, but also as information for readers without medical training.� This is not a TCM textbook per se; there is a heavier emphasis on biomedicine and naturopathy, however this should not dissuade a practitioner of Chinese medicine from investigating what lies within the pages of this book.

A former Gastonia woman is charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of a Kannapolis woman who worked with the suspect's husband.
Marlene Postell Johnson, 61, of 136 Lilac Mist Loop, Mooresville, is being held without bond at the Rowan County Detention Center in connection with the death of Shirley Goodnight Pierce. Pierce, 62, lives at 117 Evandale Road, Kannapolis.
Pierce had been granted a restraining order against the woman now accused of killing her. She was found stabbed to death in her home Tuesday.
Rowan County Sheriff Kevin Auten said it appears Pierce was stabbed, but the official cause of death is pending autopsy results.
Johnson became a suspect after detectives learned Johnson and Pierce had a previous run-in. Johnson was charged Feb. 11, 2011, with assault inflicting serious injury and communicating threats against Pierce. Both are misdemeanors.
Johnson was found guilty in Cabarrus County District Court of simple assault and battery but appealed the case. It is still pending in Cabarrus County Superior Court.
Search warrants, no motive
Auten said detectives obtained multiple search warrants for Johnson, her home and her vehicle.
"Evidence seized during these searches led to the arrest of Mrs. Johnson," Auten said. "She has a lawyer representing her and she made no statements at all."
Auten said Johnson's husband, Ervin Johnson, worked with Pierce at Mount Pleasant-based Tuscarora Yarns Inc., where he is vice president of finance.
The Johnsons previously lived off Kendrick Road near the Gaston Country Club and owned property in Belmont.
Detectives are not sure of any motive in the killing with which Marlene Johnson is charged, Auten said.
"There are things that we need to look for to see why this escalated," he said. "Obviously there is something that has been brewing between the two because of the assault that happened in Cabarrus County hadn't been settled, and as we move forward maybe we can figure out exactly what her motive was."
Prior squabbles
Cabarrus County Superior Court records show Pierce claimed she was having lunch at a Concord restaurant on Feb. 11, 2011, when Johnson interrupted her meal. Pierce said she got up to leave the restaurant and was grabbed by the hair and dragged into the parking lot, where she was knocked to the ground, according to court documents.
Pierce said she was punched and kicked. Court records state she had bruises on her hip, thigh and back and a deep cut to her hand.
Pierce told investigators Johnson said this was not over, there would be more to come and threatened to attack her again.
Court records also show that on Jan. 10, 2012, Johnson sent a Facebook friend request to Pierce.
"We need to do some digging because obviously there is a track record here that we've got to get to the bottom of," Auten said.
The Rowan County Sheriff's Office began its investigation after Pierce's fiancé, Chuck Reeves, went by her home about 9:42 a.m. Tuesday. Auten said authorities know Pierce was still alive at 8 p.m. Monday.
Anyone with any information on this investigation can call 1st Lt. Chad Moose at 704-216-8687.

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina's good stretches often come followed by less-desirable spans and it has coach Roy Williams sometimes going from delighted to gloomy.
In the last 11 games, the Tar Heels have been outscored in the second half in eight of those games.
So the rallying cry for a full 40 minutes of solid play has been mentioned repeatedly by Williams and his players.
"We weren't able to maintain it," guard Marcus Paige said after the sluggish second half in an eventual victory against Maryland on Saturday. "We got a little complacent. … We were a little excited we played such a good half."
Paige called the first half the best half of the season for the Tar Heels, who take on visiting Georgia Tech on Wednesday night.
Williams said some second-half miseries have dampened the mood.
"We feel good, but we don't feel good about the way we played the second half," he said. "I want to show them on tape the second half and learn from it and hope to get better. … I'm about as ticked off about the second half as I can be."
The exceptions to being outscored in the second halves in the last 11 games came in victories against Alabama-Birmingham (Tar Heels were plus-12 after halftime), McNeese State (plus-3) and Florida State (plus-3).
"I'd like to know that answer so we get that changed as soon as possible," Paige said.
Maryland coach Mark Turgeon saw improvement from his team in the second half against North Carolina, but that might not have meant a whole lot.
"Maybe North Carolina wasn't concentrating as much as if the score had been tied," Turgeon said. "I think North Carolina is pretty good. Were they good earlier in the year? No. But they were good on Saturday."
The Tar Heels are striving to be good all of the time — or at least most of the time.
"When you're younger, you see a 22-point lead and you think everything is going to be rosy," Williams said. "But this is the ACC and no one in this league is going to stop."
The latest lesson came in the 62-52 triumph against Maryland, so it wasn't a lost cause.
"I would say we kind of took a break in the second half, kind of took off the gas," North Carolina guard P.J. Hairston said.
"I thought we did kind of get complacent," teammate James Michael McAdoo said. "Great teams can't do that. It's us being young and something we've got to learn and keep coming out and being aggressive."
The concept of completing the task with better second halves doesn't seem all that complex to Williams.
"I've got a saying, 'If you can do it once, you can do it more than once,' " he said.
Who: Georgia Tech (10-6, 0-4) at North Carolina (12-5, 2-2)
When: 9 Wednesday night (ESPN)
Where: Smith Center, Chapel Hill
Series: North Carolina leads 61-24
Notes: This will mark Georgia Tech's third game in the Triangle in a 15-day span after losses at North Carolina State and Duke.

We hear fire department dispatches all the time over the newsroom scanner.
Few compare to the nail-biter that we followed Tuesday morning, when the Havelock Fire Department responded to a house fire at
Though we have
First we heard of it in New
Seven minutes later Drew sent another email: "First reports indicate one person may be inside."
Drew arrived and contacted his editor, Ken Buday, to say that the house was fully engulfed in flames.
People don't often survive fires like that, and I mentally braced myself for more bad news. Instead, there was a joyous surprise:
From Ken: "Firefighters rescued a child from the burning house."
Two-year-old Dylan Burkett was sitting on the corner of a bed in the smoke-filled house as the fire raged in the front of the building.
A firefighter crawled through a window of the doomed structure and followed the child's cries until he found the little boy and took him to safety.
Little Dylan is recovering from smoke inhalation, and
The first involved Todd Asa North, a retired Marine who gave his life keeping a gunman out of the bar that North was hired to protect.
The latest involves Havelock Firefighter Charlie Winter, who climbed into a burning home, felt his way around the smoke-filled rooms and kept searching until he found a child who, we hope, has a long life ahead of him.
Onward …
I write this in advance of a weekend camping trip.
Mark, a Cub Scout, me, his dad, and 500 of Mark's closest friends are dusting off the camping gear and roughing it at a tick-infested campground somewhere near Little Washington.
Mark, 7, is a fun camping companion. He is joyous, open-minded, good company, and is helpful in helpful ways. And he likes to camp.
As summer arrives, now that we have rebuilt our camping gear, I plan to make good use of it with Mark and anyone else who would like to come along.
Our tent sleeps seven, which happens to be the number of people in our blended family, though I'm guessing some of the older boys would rather explore the great indoors.
I've done my share of outdoor living, particularly during my Marine Corps days.
My most interesting Marine outdoor adventure was cold weather training in central
I was actually more comfortable then than I was the last time Mark and I went camping with the Scouts last October, when the temperature dipped to the mid-20s. My sleeping bag is rated for 32 degrees. Amazing what a difference those six or seven degrees can make on a good night's sleep. Mark's bag is rated for 40 degrees, but I bundled him up with blankets and spare clothes, and he slept fine.
Weather forecasts call for nighttime temperatures of around 50 this weekend, so I'm expecting some satisfying shut-eye.
The cooler weather has also delayed onset of the mosquito season. I've found that the best mosquito repellant is standing downwind from a smoky campfire for a minute or so. I'd rather smell like campfire smoke than be coated with chemical repellant. I don't know that my camping companions would agree.
Thanks for letting me take up some of your Sunday morning.

MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Host Pfeiffer University took a pair of victories over Catawba College in non-conference tennis action on Wednesday afternoon. The Falcon men rolled 8-1 while the Lady Falcons secured a 6-3 win at the Knapp Tennis Center. The men improve to 3-2 overall winning their third-straight while the ladies move to 3-3.
Pfeiffer took a 2-1 lead after doubles before sweeping all six singles matches. Ben Hunter and Loic Minery won a tight 8-6 battle at #1 doubles while Sebastian Wernecke and Ethan Lyon cruised 8-2 at #3. In singles, all six Falcons won in straight-sets as Luis Villalta and Lyon needed tiebreakers in the second-set to hold on for victory.
On the ladies side, Pfeiffer swept all three doubles matches led by an 8-2 win by Taylor Lindsay and Valeria Mendoza at number one. Hannah Watson and Chelsi Haefele at #2 and Briana Oliver and Melinda Athay at #3 each needed narrow 8-6 victories to put Pfeiffer up 3-0.
In singles, Lindsay, Watson and Mendoza would all win in straight-sets and Lindsay went 7-5, 7-5; Watson three and two while Mendoza rolled four and three.
The Pfeiffer men will play again on Friday heading to Johnson C. Smith in Charlotte before joining the Lady Falcons in the 2013 Conference Carolinas opener at Erskine on Saturday.

Currently there are two major mathematical challenges in theoretical physics: understanding the origins of elementary particles, and understanding cosmology. The standard model of particle physics as well as the standard model of cosmology are successful theories that correctly describe a vast amount of data. Within the Mathematical Foundations we are interested in various kinds of theoretical models like, dark energy, dark matter, teleparallel gravity, modified gravity, Einstein-Cartan theory, brane-world models, inflation and loop quantum gravity. We are also working in classical general relativity and cosmology.
Dark Energy -- is a way to model the observed accelerated expansion of the universe with scalar fields or other forms of vacuum energy. One of our main interest is how we can learn more about dark energy with observations. We are also a member of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) team.
Modified Gravity -- Dark Energy is not the only possibilty to explain the observed accelerated expansion of the Universe. Modifactions to Einstein's general relativity on large scales could be a valid explanation for the observations. We are investigating how to constrain such theories and how to distinguish them from Dark Energy with observations. We are a member of the COSMOS supercomputing consortium and are using this machine to test comsological models.
Quantum Field Theory -- The Standard Model of particle physics is based on the quantum field theories QCD, describing the strong force, and the electroweak theory which contains QED. We work on application of QCD to the physics at particle colliders, in particular on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) recently turned on at CERN, with special emphasis on the theoretical understanding of quark and gluon distributions and implications for collider experiments.
Links and connections
- Within the UCL Institute for Origins we have close links with the other departments. Last year we have started a String Theory reading group which was organised by Jochen Weller of the Department of Physics & Astronomy and Christian Boehmer of the Department of Mathematics. The reading group attracted many researchers from across the faculty and meets on a weekly basis.
- We have strong links with the Galaxies and Cosmology Group which is part of the Astrophysics Group within the Department of Physics & Astronomy at UCL. We use this opportunity to attend their weekly CosmoLunch to discuss most recent publications within the fields of Cosmology and Theoretical Astrophysics.
- There is active collaboration with our UCL colleagues at the Mullard Space Science Laboratory (MSSL), especially their theory group. With Kinwah Wu and Houri Ziaeepur we meet regularly and are working on joint projects.

Use 1/2 ounce (1 capful) of Quick & Easy Wash in a bucket with two quarts water for an average size car. Use one ounce per gallon for larger vehicles. Quick & Easy Wash safely loosens and lifts dirt eliminating the need to rinse with water. Wash a section at a time then just chamois, towel or squeegee dry. Quick & Easy Wash is economical!Quick & Easy Wash is non-abrasive. Remove oxidation, stains and heavy grime with a strong cleaner or polishing compound before using Quick & Easy Wash for the first time. Protect All FIBERGLASS Oxidation Remover & Color Restorer and heavy-duty Protect All Black Streak Cleaner and Degreaser are perfect for tackling oxidation, stains and heavy grime.
Wash any vehicle wherever it is parked. This is especially important where water use is restricted. Because you don't need to rinse you can wash in your garage, apartment parking stall, campgrounds, parks, marinas and airplane tiedowns. Quick & Easy Wash is great for home and office, too.
Clean Water Act and Ground Water Pollution -- Washing without rinsing greatly reduces the discharge of pollutants into storm drains, sewers and the ground water preventing run-off contamination into rivers, lakes, bays and oceans. Quick & Easy Wash helps both commercial and industrial users comply with the discharge guidelines established by the Clean Water Act and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Helpful Hint
Mix appropriate amount of Quick & Easy Wash with water and put into a spray bottle. Ideal for small jobs such as washing and shining glass, mirrors, tile, windows, etc. Keep a spray bottle handy in the garage for quick touch-ups on your vehicles, windows and patio furniture.

7. Try to avoid perfectionism.
Perfectionism can lead to the noblest cause of procrastination. When I have created an image of not only what, but how much needs to be done, I've sometimes become too overwhelmed to actually do the project. Case in point, I had a room that had wallpaper I hated. In peeling off the wallpaper, the backing was left behind. In a 100-year-old house with plaster walls, getting the backing off and the room skim-coated and painted ended up taking nearly three years. In wanting it perfect right away, I just couldn't get started.
8. Let go of the fear.
For those of you who are inclined towards introspection, Tresnack recommends sitting down before you start a project and try to focus on what about the project may be making you afraid. "If you are procrastinating, sit for a moment and look at what your fears are about the situation. You may even want to write about it," he said. Tresnack said that procrastination creates an "emotional cloud, which makes things harder to accomplish."
9. Celebrate your successes.
"Every time we accomplish something it gives our mind a little boost," said Tresnack. It's important to stop and relish what we have accomplished before moving on to the next project. If you feel more satisfaction, the next project may feel more enjoyable.
10. Make projects into social events.
There are always a lot of small projects that need to be done. But for the bigger projects, make it an excuse for a party or a date with your significant other. Having a work a party is not a new idea, but it's a fun one. Not only can you get the project done faster, but you can build on the feeling of making work seem less like work.

Looking for any information on my GGrandfather Pasquale Bonafilia/Bonofilia. In doing a search, I saw this last name in the area of Catanzaro. Not sure if they are related as the search pulled up this town under the BONOFILIA spelling as opposed to the BONAFILIA spelling which my Mother and Grandfather used. Thought maybe the spelling got changed somewhere down the line. I beleive he was born in Italy c. 1967 and he came to North America sometime before records were kept at Ellis Island. If not, he then went directly to Canada but don't know how to search Canada's immigration records to find out. He was single when he came to North America and married a French Canadian woman named Rosanna Tremblay. They then stayed in Canada until maybe the early 1900's when they move to either Upstate New York, Vt., or Mass. If anyone has any information on this family, I would greatly appreciate it.

ZANY Steven Hall is urging people to vote for him after he performs in front of millions of TV viewers on Britain's Got Talent tonight.
The 53-year-old telecommunications engineer will represent Cumbria when he takes to the stage for the live semi-final with a new dance routine.
Having taken the nation by storm with his eclectic two-minute act, which saw him perform a dance to The Birdy Song, The Macarena and The Twist, he has become an overnight success.
He has gained more than 1.5 million views on YouTube and more than a thousand fans on his official Facebook site.
So, what has he got lined up for the biggest performances of his life tonight?
"It was said: 'How am I going to follow that?' Because the element of surprise has gone," he said.
"So I have taken what everybody said they would expect me to do next and not done it."
Life has changed for the Burneside Amateur Theatrical Society member since he gained three 'yes' votes from Amanda Holden, Michael McIntyre and David Hasselhoff, and a standing ovation from the Liverpool crowd.
"It was the second best experience of my life, but I can't tell you the first one," he jokes.
"Since then, it has been so busy I haven't had time to think about it.
"I have been to London several times for interviews and rehearsals."
Having performed in theatres across the Lake District, Steven set up Comedy Showtime two years ago, a five-person act that puts on performances across the region.
From this, a 10-minute dance evolved which came to form the basis of his BGT audition.
If Steven is successful tonight, he will make it through to Saturday's live final.
If victorious in the final, he will perform in front of The Queen at The Royal Variety Performance and win £100,000.
"I am nervous and confident about tonight," he said.
"Nervous because Simon Cowell is back on the show and he is held in such anticipation about what he has thought of the acts that have gone through while he's been away.
"But I am confident of my routine. I'm looking forward to it."
TWO thirds of the red kites released in Grizedale Forest last summer have survived the harsh winter.
Wildlife rangers believe that around 20 of the 30 birds released in the Forestry Commission's three-year re-introduction programme made it through the winter and are still in Cumbria, or nearby counties. Between five and eight of the birds are believed to be living around Grizedale and the Rusland Valley, with another three to five inhabiting the Kirkby Moor area near Ulverston.
Four more Grizedale red kites have been spotted by RSPB experts at feeding stations in Dumfries and Galloway – the furthest known movement is by the bird tagged as number four, which has flown 120km north west into Scotland.
"The birds are doing pretty much exactly as we expected, which is very encouraging," said Iain Yoxall, Forestry Commission wildlife ranger. "We are more confident that these birds will make it to adults now they have made it through a harsh winter. Sadly we lost a few birds but that is natural and why we have to release the numbers that we did."
The 30 red kites released from a secret location in Grizedale Forest in August last year had coloured tags on each wing. An orange tag on their left wing shows they are from Grizedale, and blue tags on their right wings indicate that they were released in 2010. Some birds were also fitted with radio transmitters to help with monitoring.
Mr Yoxall, who has been following the birds' movements around Cumbria, said the help he has received from the public had been invaluable. "I have been radio tracking the birds but sightings from members of the public have been a fantastic help and greatly appreciated. This has been very important because it helps us find the birds and backs up our radio tracking results to give us a more robust picture of their movements. We hope that the public will continue letting us know when and where they make sightings of the red kites."
This year's birds will hatch in May and are likely to be released into Grizedale Forest in August. The red kites being introduced into Grizedale are the product of a reintroduction programme that took place in Northamptonshire in the 1980s.
Red kites were almost eradicated from the UK following changes in farming practices and human persecution between the 16th and 19th centuries. But they managed to cling on in Wales, and their numbers recovered slowly thanks to the actions of local conservationists

DOBSON — If the parking situation is any indication, attendance at this year's eighth annual Harvest Festival is one for the record books.
Thousands turned out for the event, which organizers say is designed to celebrate the end of the harvest season, sipping on wine, listening to live music and munching on burgers and dogs prepared by the Harvest Grill.
This year's harvest festival featured vendors offering hand-crafted items, free tours and wine tastings, and fresh local produce. For the young and young-at-heart, there were games, face painting and hayrides.
During the event, held Saturday, couples strolled around the manicured grounds and sat by a babbling brook sipping on award-winning wine and enjoying the mild weather.
"The turnout has been great," said owner Ed Shelton as he negotiated the hundreds crammed into the vineyards' tasting room. "It's looking like this is going to be our best year ever."
Shelton said the event is a chance to open up the vineyard and winery to the public.
"It's a chance to let people taste some of our wines and hopefully get some new customers," he said as he loaded cases of wine for some customers. "And people are spending some money."
According to Shelton, attendees came from as far away as Pennsylvania and Ohio to attend the event.
"We have a lot of out-of-town visitors this year," he said. "And they're spending money, staying locally and eating out. This is great for the local economy."
And visitors had nothing but good things to say about the day.
"We heard about it on the Internet, and we like to travel and try new wines and wineries," said Jeff Callicutt, who traveled with his wife Sheila from Whitsett. "We heard about it in Pilot Mountain when we stopped there earlier today.
"This is a really nice place," he said as he looked over the vineyard. "We're going to spend a little bit of money today."

Component/s: Hudson Support
Number of attachments :
As a developer I want to see a Hudson build test result showing failed scenarios so that I can see what broke my build
As a developer I want scenarios containing pending steps and no failed steps to appear in build test result not as a fail or pass so that I can see what is missing from a story
As a Manager I want to see individual scenarios in the build graph so that I can monitor progress of stories
As a Manager I want to see Hudson build trend graph containing failed, pending and successful scenarios so that I can monitor the stability of my build
The simplest way to create a test plug-in is take advantage of the xUnit plugin (http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/xUnit+Plugin). xUnit is used by several plugins (CppUnit, Gallio, Parasoft C++Test tool, JSUnit, AUnit, etc...) to provide test information to hudson.
It achieves this by using XSLT to transforms native test XML test reports into JUnit test reports and then passes this to Hudsons existing JUnit support.
The JUnit report features can map quite nicely onto the JBehave terms e.g.
- Story -> Test suite
- Scenario -> test case
- Scenarios containing pending steps and no failed steps can marked as a JUnit ignored test case
This would provide all the functionality required, except using JUnit terms in the Hudson UI instead of JBehave terms.
This is quite simple and I already have some code working. I'm quite happy to carry working on the xUnit approach unless anyone think s a full Hudson plugin would be a better option?
Hi Alan,
I think you should decide empirically.
Give it a try with xUnit.
I would gladly test your solution if you would expose it.
Thanks Ryszard, feedback will be most welcome.
I've gone down the xUnit route and it seems to be working well. Attached is my latest version that I have been running on my production server for the last 24 hours.
I think I have covered most of the common testing scenarios and it works well for my projects own stories but there might be the odd edge case I have missed.
First - this is great, thanks for the effort here - I was about to rip out the jbehave-maven plugin in favor of just using surefire but would rather not do that.
I've built the attachment and loaded it to a Hudson 1.377 instance using xUnit 1.12
To test it I'm building and running the tests from https://github.com/jbehave/jbehave-core.git
I am getting the .xml files in target\jbehave but they don't appear to be converting properly. Even the ones that do not error don't seem to have the info Hudson would need to report on the testcase. (I'll try and attach an example)
foot of Hudson console out is below:
[xUnit] [INFO] - Starting to record.
[xUnit] [INFO] - Processing JBehave-3.x
[xUnit] [INFO] - [JBehave-3.x] - 17 test report file(s) were found with the pattern '**\trader\target\jbehave*.xml' relative to 'C:\.hudson\jobs\Test Job\workspace' for the testing framework 'JBehave-3.x'.

Finished: FAILURE
org.jbehave.examples.trader.stories.claims_with_null_calendar.xml = jbehave xml output
TEST--778446379.xml = JBehave-3.x plugin conversion
Thanks Seth
I have recreated the problem and it is caused by the XML report from JBehave being invalid. In this case "failure_followed_by_given_stories.xml" is missing a closing story tag at the end of the file. I have reported this as
I have made an update to the plugin to fix a bug I have found and moved the code to github.
Excellent. Just my luck
I'll get set up with the plugin from github and rerun.
Hi Alan, if you are happy to contribute the plugin the JBehave project we can include it 3.2 release.
I'm happy to contribute the hudson plugin to the JBehave project
Alan, I've been trying to incorporate the hudson plugin in the core build, but I've been running into issues. These stem from the fact that I'm trying to extend the jbehave parent rather than the hudson one.
I'm attaching the version of the your contribution, with only the pom.xml changed. Could perhaps have a look and see if you spot the problem? It needs to be unzipped in the master of the jbehave core build. It's failing on the hpi plugin with error message "Unable to find a plugin class. Did you put @plugin in javadoc?".
jbehave-hudson-plugin incorporated in maven core build.
Mauro, The problem was caused by the version of the maven-hpi-plugin and I have updated it to 1.51 in the attached POM.
I have also changed the Hudson dependency version from the latest release (1.389) to 1.355 as this is the minimum Hudson version for the required xUnit plugin dependency and we don't take advantage any new features. This will also avoid forcing many Hudson users to upgrade their installations (Hudson is released once a week)
I'm happy to help with any other problems
Thanks Alan, that fixed the problems. I've added to hudson plugin to core build.
Any chance the 2 repository definitions can be removed from the hudson plugin POM? According to this article from Sonatype, http://www.sonatype.com/people/2010/03/why-external-repos-are-being-phased-out-of-central/, they are phasing out external repos from artifacts hosted on central, IE won't host them.
I'm also not happy with maven now checking a repository on the internet I know nothing about, when I have a perfectly good local repository that is proxying central, etc.
Yes, I agree. We should provide a settings.xml with the list of repositories required to build. Then folks can build out of the box, while those using repository managers will need to create proxies appropriately.
Actually, wouldn't the hudson plugin be better off as a separate project rather than as a module within jbehave-core? This would allow the hudson plugin to put out a quick release if a newer version of hudson broke it, without impacting jbehave releases at all.
If that happens we can quickly put out a bugfix release. There is always a balance to be struck when creating separate projects, and having one for such a small codebase is not recommended. Also, the hudson plugin is very tied to the core reporting functionality, so it does make sense to keep them in sync.
Is it necessary to have a maven plugin and a hudson plugin? Is it not possible to solve this with a JUnit Runner and just run a story as a junit test? This way you have nice output in your IDE and in Hudson with the surefire plugin. I made a small prototype. If you run the stories in eclipse you can see nicely the results of the stories. In hudson you also get the results from the scenarios as described above.
Unfortunately I don't use JUnit for running my acceptance tests otherwise this would be one way of achieving the required functionality. Having a Hudson plug-in is a universal solution as it consumes the xml reports and doesn't care how the tests were executed.
Alan, I've upgraded the dependency on the xUnit plugin to latest 1.13. Are you aware of any counter-indications to using latest version? It's unsavory that one needs to have the plugin already installed and the is no transitive dependency. If the xUnit plugin is not installed, the JBehave plugin fails without a meaningful error message in the UI (there is more detailed message in the log stacktrace). I've updated the description to make more visible and apparent the dependency requirement, but I want to provide better online documentation.
Do you know how to configure in a Hudson plugin the clickable URL that appears on the plugins list? Currently defaults to http://jbehave.org/jbehave-hudson-plugin, but I'd like to be able to configure to something like http://jbehave.org/reference/stable/hudson-plugin.
Bart, you may choose to run JBehave stories as JUnit test. You have that option, but there are significant use cases for having multiple execution entry points and report integration views with different tools. As always, JBehave likes to support multiple ways of doing the same thing and letting users decide what best suits their needs.
I don't know of any problems with moving to the latest version of xUnit. I have been running the plug-in against xUnit 1.13 on a production instance for the whole of January.
Could you explain how the plug-in failure appears to the user? From my understanding Hudson should disable the JBehave plug-in if the xUnit plug-in is not installed. FYI Hudson plug-in dependencies are calculated using the dependencies specified in the POM
You can specify the URL for the plugin hyperlink in the Hudson update center by adding the "URL" element too the plug-in POM. see https://github.com/aparkinson/jbehave-core/commit/2342d0e4fafc14d5da33043c873c9a5d5d721ca7
Is there anything else on the plug-in development I can assist with?
Hi Alan, thanks for the pointer on the URL, the installation instructions and dependencies are now in on the doc page.
The issue is that if the xUnit dependency is not installed, Hudson does not install the JBehave plugin, without giving any significant reason on the UI.
BTW, given that then name will be soon changed to Jenkins, would it be worth to adopt that from the word go in place of Hudson?
Hi Mauro,
The install failure on a missing dependency looks like the norm
I was going to propose the name change when the new maven group and artifact ids are announced but I seem no harm in changing the name now. It could be a while before we have to change our dependencies to the Jenkins fork as we don't use any bleeding edge features.
I have signed up to the developer mailing list to keep track of Jenkins related changes and I will be following the fork closely.
Yes, not the most user-friendly way to notify of a missing dependency.
On the question of the name, I'm in two minds. But perhaps it's best (and easiest) to follow the trend rather than anticipate it. At the moment, we have a CI server call Hudson (of which, the releases will remain for future use) and for this we'll have the Hudson plugins. When the Jenkins fork will be released, we'll follow suite and release accordingly the renamed plugins. Being a simple rename, the two names will coexist for sometime anyway.
Sounds like a good strategy.
Is there anything outstanding for the first version of the plug-in?
I think it would be good to use the Hudson/Jenkins update center to publish/install the plug-in in the long term. I think this should be under a separate ticket as there are infrastructure changes taking place on both projects.
So, one outstanding thing to verify is how the user accesses the reports. Once the plugin is configured (e.g. to run the JBehave Core examples), I can see in the logs:{log}
[xUnit] [INFO] - Processing JBehave-3.x
[xUnit] [WARNING] - Can't create the path /Users/mauro/.hudson/jobs/jbehave/workspace/generatedJUnitFiles. Maybe the directory already exists.
[xUnit] [INFO] - [JBehave-3.x] - 19 test report file(s) were found with the pattern '*/jbehave/org.jbehave.examples..xml' relative to '/Users/mauro/.hudson/jobs/jbehave/workspace' for the testing framework 'JBehave-3.x'.
[xUnit] [INFO] - Converting '/Users/mauro/.hudson/jobs/jbehave/workspace/examples/trader/target/jbehave/org.jbehave.examples.trader.stories.after_scenario_outcome.xml' .{log}
Other similar lines follow, but I can't see the test reports in the UI Test Results.
Also, it shows
which is blank (showing error 404).
I would just like to clean up these issues.
I agree that publishing it to the Central Plugin repo is a good thing, which we'll do post release after the dust has settled on the infrastructure.
I have managed to recreate the issues you have identified, it only occurs when a "maven job" aggregates test results from surefire/failsafe and jbehave executions. If you were to run the build as a "freestyle job" or don't generate junit reports in the "maven job" the aggregation works perfectly.
I'm note sure if this a bug in the JBehave plugin, xunit and or the Hudson maven plugin but I will continue to investigate.
I'm able to see the problem with the plugin configured yesterday. Its the one from the aparksinson repo, but it is not the problem for us, JBehave is. Or its invalid XML output.
Here's one that I guess loaded just fine into the hudson plugin:
<story path="foo.story" title="">
<property keyword="@" name="channel" value="aaa"/>
<scenario keyword="Scenario:" title="ttt">
<step outcome="failed" keyword="FAILED">Given I am a human with a booked fff<failure>blort</failure></step>
<step outcome="notPerformed" keyword="NOT PERFORMED">When I cancel the fff</step>
<step outcome="notPerformed" keyword="NOT PERFORMED">Then I receive an fff is now canceled</step>
Here is one that failed:
<story path="bar.story" title="">
<property keyword="@" name="channel" value="aaa"/>
<filter>+channel aaa -draft</filter>
Note there was no close of <story>, nor was there a <scenario> open or close.
It is like the stream was closed before it was flushed. Incidentally the second story file (the one that breaks in XML form) has a meta tag that has no value: @draft. This works fine from the command line of course - and should cause the story to be ignored for the Hudson run in question.
The @draft idea is a red herring. I moved that tag up the list of tags for the real (non obfuscated) story in question, an it was still corrupt XML in the way listed above.
https://github.com/jbehave/jbehave-core/commit/4952568886319b53b7314513ecf2eb5022524f2f is my attempt to fix the issue. Note I did not find a pre-existing .close() for the print stream in question.
At this stage though the issue (for me) appears in the hudson-plugin phase, I think it is a core JBehave issue, that nobody has noticed before.
Hi Alan,
I'm suspecting the problem may lie in the presence of the <filter> element which may not agree with the Hudson XSL.
I noticed the unit test cases do not contemplate the presence of filters. Could you try to enhance the test (and probably the XSL) to allow filters?
I think it is filter related too. However, I can see corrupted XML output from a regular command line build (using filters) without Hudson in the mix. Even after my commit above.
I'm also seeing corrupted XML files being read by the Hudson plugin before any processing occurs. When reading a file xUnit will validate the XML file and then print "[xUnit] [ERROR] - The plugin hasn't been performed correctly: Conversion error Error to convert - A file not found" in the hudson build console if the file is not valid XML.
To rule out filters causing problem I will add some unit tests but I don't think this will be a problem because the XSL is only looking for elements that decide a test success, fail or skip.
I can now confirm Hudson "Maven2/3" jobs that generate surefire reports are the cause of missing jbehave reports in the test UI. The other hudson jobs type run ok) and you can run the examples (without XML corruptions) using maven within a "freestyle" hudson job and the tests will appear in the UI correctly.
There are related two causes for this problem:
1) Hudson can only process one test report in the UI. Mauro, you might haven seen two reports in the UI showing the same results and one having the links to failured test giving a 404.
2) xUnit aggregates test results from other tools to avoid duplicating test reports. It doesn't do this with the Maven2/3 job as it overrides Hudsons testing model and adds very Maven specific code. I have been through the xUnit and Hudson code and I haven't found away of injecting or aggregating the test results in a "Maven2/3" job to avoid issue 1.
The only way I can see of supporting the "Maven2/3" job within the Hudson plugin is to write some Hudson Maven specific code which could be complicated. My suggestion is to document the limitation of job type in the Hudson plugin and develop a solution for a future release.
Folks. Refer to
JBEHAVE-420 (nothing to do with Hudson)
I may have fixed the broken XML issue. I am not sure if
JBEHAVE-420 relates to JBEHAVE-394 or not.
Proposed documentation change: https://github.com/aparkinson/jbehave-core/commit/d5bc77a06743ba91ed598efe7bfce19b677ba79b
I can confirm that the fix for
JBEHAVE-420 now allows for the XML to be consumed into Hudson results. At least it does for me in respect of my stories/scenarios.
I've added some extra testing for filters and some small XSL changes

Angie Hargitt saw something missing from Kinston's restaurant scene — and her new Lou Lou's Oyster Bar is helping to fill the void.
Hargitt, the wife of King's Restaurant owner Joe Hargitt, noted there was nowhere in Kinston to get good oysters. She suggested to her husband it would be a nice addition to his U.S. 70 restaurant — and he concurred.
King's Restaurant customers agree, too, as the bar has been doing outstanding business since it opened three weeks ago.
"We haven't done any advertising other than word of mouth and Facebook, but it's been doing great," she said. "
The name of the bar comes from her nickname — "people call me Angie Lou," she said with a laugh. It offers what Hargitt said is the second-best beer selection in Lenoir County.
King's Restaurant once had an oyster bar until Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005.
"When Katrina hit, the price of oysters almost tripled in only a couple of days," Joe Hargitt said. "It just wasn't profitable for us to do it any longer."
Lou Lou's Oyster Bar is open 6-10 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, but will start to open on Sundays as it gets colder, Hargitt said. She added that on Tuesday nights, the bar is going to offer all-you-can-eat oysters for $29.99.
There is a big-screen HD television at the bar and customers can watch sports or anything they want on it while enjoying their oysters and beer.
"It's still kind of quiet over here, but we're going to get a jukebox soon," she added. "We promise great customer service with great smiles."
A Kinston woman who's an experienced portrait photographer is teaming with one of the city's oldest and most successful businesses to make portraiture easy and convenient.
Tiffany Jones will launch her portrait business inside H. Stadiem, the venerable clothing store, with a grand opening Saturday beginning at 10 a.m. The opening will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony, special photos deal, free East Coast Wings coupons for anyone who schedules an appointment and an appearance by the Chick-fil-A cow.
"I started out doing photography as just a hobby. I love doing photos of my six kids," Jones said. "As I began posting photos on Facebook, more and more people liked them and said I should do more. One thing led to another."
Jones worked as a Walmart portrait photographer for about four years and went out "on my own" for the past year. The partnership between her and H. Stadiem, a suggestion of Allen Stadiem's, was too good an opportunity to pass up, she said.
"I felt it was such a privilege to be asked to join a business that has been in business for 109 years," she said. "I feel that I'm going to be in a great location and will be working with a very successful business."
For the photographer, launching a new business downtown is an expression of confidence in the city where she lives.
"I feel that Kinston needs something like this," she said. "Kinston cannot grow if businesses run to other cities."
H. Stadiem is at 124 N. Queen St. Jones' studio hours will be 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, and Thursday through Saturday.

Really wild about Border's new series
Published at 01:00, Tuesday, 27 July 2004
By Kat Ferguson
A BORDER TV presenter got up close and personal to some ferocious friends as she filmed a new wildlife show.
Merewyne Snowden-Youde encountered lions, tigers and monkeys while making her six-part series, Wildlife Park.
The programme features Cumbria's South Lakes Wild Animal Park and Merewyne's two-week conservation trip to the Sumatran jungle with park staff.
She had to contend with mosquitoes and leeches as she slept under canvas and survived on a diet of rice.
And her group was accompanied by the armed guard of the Tiger Protection Unit, to help keep them safe from poachers as well as wild animals.
Poachers have been known to kill anyone who stands in their way.
Merewyne said: "My experience in the jungle and making Wildlife Park hasn't put me off and I'd go through it all again as it was such a fantastic series to make."
But the plucky presenter wondered if she had bitten off more than she could chew when a cheeky monkey got the better of her.
"We were filming a monkey when it suddenly made off into the forest with my bag containing 10 days' worth of film footage," she said.
"We gave chase and caught up with it half an hour later – minus the bag. We eventually tracked the bag down after much frantic searching."
The Wild Animal Park is in Dalton-in-Furness and celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. It is home to some of the world's most endangered species such the Amur and Sumatran tigers.
The first in the series of n Wildlife Park was shown on Friday.

If I get my wish and Gordon is gone, my top target would be Marcus Smart if we keep the pick. Closest thing I have seen to Dwayne Wade since Dwayne Wade. But, again, Wade came out after junior year and had a solid rookie year, nothing transcendent. So if we take another 19 year old, that player likely wont be a big contributor until the end of Anthony Davis's contract. I still prefer the idea of young vet, but if we are gonna build this thing slow, give me Smart.
What really scares me is that OKC could easily have the 4th or 5th pick this year. Imagine that nucleus with one of these stud players. Ugh
