History of Congress and the Capitol
This is the story of one of the world's great experiments in government by the people.
For more than two centuries, a new Congress has convened every two years following elections that determine all the seats in the House and one-third of those in the Senate. While the individuals change, the institution has endured-through civil and world wars, waves of immigration and great migrations, and continuous social and technological change.
Most Americans greeted the 20th century with optimism. The early decades saw economic growth and the expansion of democracy as women gained the vote. But two world wars, the Great Depression, and the nuclear age later tested such confidence.
Stability in an Era of Change
The first half of the 20th century was a time of upheavals and change, with two world wars, the Great Depression, and unprecedented technological transformations. Amid the turmoil and uncertainty that marked the era, the Capitol's unfailing dignity was a reassuring presence, giving Americans a sense of steady resolve in troubled times.
While the Capitol itself remained unaltered, new buildings and additional land helped the campus evolve and expand. Improving the facilities and beautifying the setting were constant concerns, leading to an ever-changing backdrop for the unchanging Capitol.
When it opened in 1908, Union Station quickly became the primary entry to Washington. The terminal was among the first and finest achievements of the Senate Park Commission (also called the "McMillan Commission"), a board of design professionals determined to beautify Washington. The station itself was grand. Outside, however, a motley assortment of residences, hotels, boardinghouses, and taverns greeted visitors.
City planners and congressional leaders considered the area between Union Station and the Capitol undignified. They proposed clearing it to create a park. The project took $10 million and 30 years to complete (1910-1940). It required buying 18 city squares and demolishing hundreds of buildings. The new park was so successful that some wished to see the proposed Lincoln Memorial built there instead of its eventual site on the Mall.
The Constitution created three branches of government. Two branches, Congress and the presidency, had their own homes. For 134 years, the Supreme Court shared the Capitol. It met first in a committee room, later in the library, and, from 1810 to 1860, in a first-floor chamber designed by B. Henry Latrobe. In 1860, the Court moved to the Senate's former second-floor chamber.
In 1926, Chief Justice William Howard Taft asked architect Cass Gilbert to plan a courthouse. The site selected faced the Capitol on First Street, Northeast. Its proximity to Union Station—convenient for out-of-town lawyers—was an important consideration. Congress appropriated just under $10 million and created a commission in 1929 to oversee construction, which began in 1930. The building opened five years later.
Across America, the 1930s was the era of the Great Depression. On Capitol Hill, it was a decade of rapid expansion. While the Capitol itself remained largely unchanged, the surrounding campus was transformed. Six major building projects greatly expanded Capitol Hill's facilities.
The construction reflected the growing role and size of the federal government. Projects included: the Supreme Court Building (1929-1935); Longworth House Office Building (1929-1933); Rare Book Room Addition for the Library of Congress's Thomas Jefferson Building (1929-1933); First Street Addition to the Russell Senate Office Building (1931-1933); New Botanic Garden Conservatory (1932-1933); and the John Adams Building for the Library of Congress (1933-1938).
The Capitol changed little during this period, but not for lack of trying. The most dramatic proposal was for an addition to the east front, intended to provide a better sense of support for the dome and to add more rooms. Thomas Walter floated the idea in 1863; Speaker Joseph Cannon revived it in 1904. The idea surfaced again between 1935 and 1937, winning Senate support. The House defeated it—though an extension finally was built, from 1958 to 1962.
There were other suggestions as well. In 1924, some senators advocated rebuilding their chamber along an outside wall to give the room windows for natural light and fresh air. (Many blamed the lack of fresh air for the failing health of a few senators.) This idea gained support—until 1929, when air-conditioning silenced the complaints.
The Capitol continued its longstanding tradition of commissioning and buying artwork. The most significant addition was The Apotheosis of Democracy, a monumental sculptural group by Paul Wayland Bartlett placed in the House pediment in 1916.
To celebrate the Constitution's 150th anniversary, Congress commissioned Howard Chandler Christy to paint a scene depicting the signing of the document. It was hung in the east grand stair of the House wing. The House of Representatives continued to acquire portraits of former Speakers, and the Senate commissioned vice presidential busts for its chamber. As the collection of state-donated statues in Statuary Hall grew to 65, its weight threatened to collapse the floor. In 1933, Congress authorized the display of some statues elsewhere in the building, distributing the collection—and its weight.

Women's Basketball BLOG: Coach Dub's Dish
October 26, 2011
Hello everyone! My name is Becca Walters, and I am the Assistant Women's Basketball Coach at Pfeiffer. As clever as it may appear to a select few, I am not the brilliant mind that came up with the name Coach "Dub". Who would have known that a two syllable last name of Wal-ters was too much to pronounce? Therefore, Coach Dub was born.
This will be my first season here in the vivacious Village of Misenheimer. I traveled here from the plains of South Dakota where I enjoyed my cool, unsweltering weather, Wall-Drug billboards and covered wagons. (Just kidding people; those stopped being cool years ago.)
I made it out this way through my connections with Coach Thomas. We played college ball together and have remained close ever since. I always knew she would put her passion and knowledge of basketball to great use and share it with others through coaching. I am grateful to able to work for an old friend and teammate while combining our love and fervor for the sport in hopes of developing a successful team of women working towards similar goals.
Besides basketball, another passion of mine is writing. From my middle school yearbook to a WNBA draft blog, I have always found a way to incorporate a way to share my words in the work I am doing. I enjoy storytelling and using it as a way to be connected with people. So as I compose Coach Dub's Dish, I do not have a strategy, timeline or outcome as I would in a playbook; I am merely looking to get a bit of creativity flowing in my noggin and am happy to share my sometimes interesting and enlightening (and perhaps non-interesting and unenlightening) thoughts.
Enjoy if you wish, a bit of Coach Dub's Dish!

COVINGTON — A farm tractor crash on Klinger Road, north of Covington, claimed one life and sent four other to area hospitals on Wednesday afternoon.
The crash occurred around 4:30 p.m. when a tractor, driven by Tammy Burns, 43, of Covington, that was pulling a box trailer, overturned in the 8500 block of Klinger Road. The tractor pinned Burns and two children underneath.
Covington Fire and Rescue, along with sheriff's deputies were able to remove Burns within about 15 minutes. Other victims include Burns' daughter Michelle, 14, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Another daughter, Lisa Warner, 20, along with Warner's son Darrin, 1 1/2, and her daughter Kelly, age 1 month also were seriously injured.
Two CareFlight helicopters were called to remove the victims for treatment, while the remaining victims were taken to Upper Valley Medical Center near Troy. Lisa Warner was later transferred to Miami Valley Hospital.
The conditions of the victims were not available at press time.
A crash reconstruction team was called in to investigate the crash. Lt. Tom Wheeler of the Miami County Sheriff's department said that Burns lost control of the tractor for reasons that are still being determined.
The crash remains under investigation.

I have changed these out in favor of the Cinder front and rear. My main riding trail has changed from technical XC to a more rocky/downhill type trail. This required a wider tire to handle lower pressures and the Cinder fits the bill. I still use the TrailBlaster when I rider the technical XC trails.

Enhanced last week's demo: the mobile robot performs 15 queries to BATMAN regarding the number of received packets and estimates an average, moves forward/backward based on the previous average signal, stops to get new measurements etc.
Demo video: robot starting from distance greater than x in order to achieve distance x with the static node is shown here (I had problems with xvidcap to capture the screen for around 5 min. We will see a video of what the robot displays on its screen ([12]) and another video ([13]) of where it moves side by side)
Conclusion: Using the packet loss rate for bringing 2 robots (1 static, 1 mobile) in max distance while remaining in range is problematic.
Percentage of received packets is big and almost constant up to a radius x around the static robot. Beyond distance x, the percentage of received packets decreases exponentially with distance (also documented here: [14]). In practice, that means that starting from distance greater than x, we can achieve distance x with the static robot. Starting from a distance less than x, we cannot find the shortest way to achieve distance x considering only the number of received packets (but, we can have the robot move always forward till it crosses the x-radius circle around the static node).
Need to work with the wireless signal strength that provides greater granularity in the measurements. That may be also a good idea given that BATMAN is slow ([15]) at updating link qualities for highly mobile nodes
Tried wireless chipset Medialink MWN-USB54G that is detected as a RaLink Technology RT2501USB wireless adapter and it is supposed to work according to [16], but in practice the wireless statistics functionality is not implemented for ad-hoc links.

Jonesville candidates took time from their Labor Day weekend Saturday to participate in a public forum.
Jonesville mayoral candidate Gene Pardue and town commissioner candidates Anita Darnell and Judy Wolfe took turns answering questions during the weekend's flea market and festival in Lila Swaim Memorial Park.
Pardue is currently Mayor Pro-Tem of Jonesville. Darnell is president of the Tourism Development Authority for Jonesville, and Wolfe is the head of the Jonesville Historical Society.
Candidates Jerry Wood, Tommy Casstevens and Andy Green did not attend.
Retired Starmount teacher and coach Danny Macemore moderated the forum and took questions from attendees. The questions were submitted prior to the forum start and then written onto pieces of paper to be read before the crowd.
Several questions were submitted but only nine were agreed on by the candidates to answer.
The candidates answered the questions in a random order. Anita Darnell began each round of questions, followed by Gene Pardue and closed by Judy Wolfe.
Each candidate was limited to two minutes per question.
Question 1: What can be done to make Jonesville a more attractive town?
Darnell said the town needed to clean up around Exit 82, the exit where Jonesville meets Interstate 77. She added that street lights at Exit 82 and on Main Street might "let people know that we're here."
Pardue said that some areas in town were becoming unattractive and needed to be cleaned up. He also suggested doing fall clean-ups to help better the town's appearance.
Wolfe said every street or area in town should have a spokesperson who would report to the town board what they would like to see happen. One such example was if a neighbor or business was not maintaining their yard mowing.
Question 2: If elected, would you do all in your power for Jonesville to have a nice library facility, like those in Boonville, Yadkinville and East Bend?
Darnell said she absolutely would. She said she and the Jonesville Business Association have been working to better the library's appearance already.
Pardue said they would help the library out as the town could. Pardue said the town board was already giving money to the library each year and the library was working to sell items and raise money in addition to that money. He also said the town had given the library the neighboring heating and cooling building for them to move into.
Wolfe said grant writing like that done by Boonville when it upgraded its library was the solution. She also said all areas of the town government needed grant writing to help bring money into Jonesville.
Question 3: If elected, would you work to hire a recreation director, even if it means the elimination of one police officer?
The question was in relation to Lila Swaim Memorial Park and its usage.
Darnell said the question was a tricky one but said yes. She said she would like to see Lila Swaim Memorial Park be more usable and beautified. As far as the police officer goes, Darnell said that would be something they would have to look at to see if they needed to hire another officer or fire one.
Pardue said there was still some money in the park fund, some of which was spent to redo the tennis courts in the park. He said that leftover money was still available for usage at the park.
Wolfe said lots of people use the park but not to the extent needed to eliminate a police officer position. She suggested "creative" uses of personnel and personnel funds, including the recreation funds for the park, that could be used to enhance the park.
Wolfe also suggested partnering with other local parks and communities in their recreation programs, as well as renting a bus to take citizens to tourist activities in other areas.
Question 4: If the Chamber of Commerce should come up with a request for the town to schedule a referendum to let the citizens decide if the town should sponsor a lottery to raise "much needed funds," would you vote for a referendum to be held?
None of the candidates elected to answer this question.
Question 5: If the town should come up short on funds to pay all the municipal expenses, would you vote to raise the tax rate?
Pardue said that once a budget is passed it is good for a year, and that he could not see the town passing a budget it it would fall short of it. He added that it was a loaded question.
Darnell agreed.
Wolfe said if there was a shortfall the town should look at the cause, whether it be the water department or some other area. She said if the town found itself in that situation mid-year it should readjust its budget and cut back on its line items, not raise taxes mid-year.
Question 6: If elected, what will you do to keep the curbsides on Jonesville streets neat, clean, and always free of weeds and trash?
The candidates felt they had already answered the question.
Question 7: What can be to done to persuade "Yankees" traveling south to consider making Jonesville their retirement home?
Darnell said the southern hospitality was a major draw. She said to keep doing what the town is already doing.
Pardue joked that you never hear of Southerners moving north, only the opposite.
Pardue said the town needs to be kept clean and needs to do whatever it can to invite people into it.
Wolfe said people come back all the time to Jonesville because they enjoyed it the first time. She said the effort needs to be on getting people into town the first time: through billboards on the interstate and promoting local features.
Question 8: In your opinion, what does Jonesville need more than anything else?
Darnell said the town needs a marketing program to get other businesses into town and to let people know about Jonesville.
Pardue agreed, saying Jonesville currently gives the Yadkin County Chamber of Commerce $11,500 each year. He said the town should use that money itself because it was not benefiting from giving it to the chamber.
Wolfe said the town should, and could, hire someone to do marketing and grant writing with money the town already has. She said hire someone to be a grant writer and marketing director.
Question 9: Why are you running for office and what do you hope to accomplish?
Darnell said she had worked in Jonesville since she was 14 years old and lived in town for 17 years.
She wants to help the town, not change it, she said. She added that she wanted to be a part of Jonesville.
Pardue said those running were doing it for the good of the town, not for the pay. He hoped to see Jonesville get out from under the debt of the water plant and possibly lower water rates.
He hopes to see Jonesville sell some of its water to Boonville to help pay off the new plant's cost.
Wolfe said she was running because Jonesville was her home and she wanted to see it and its citizens prosper. She said the poverty and unemployment was troubling, and the fluctuation of water rates needed to be examined.
She said everyone, not just officials, need to be involved in the town.
Closing comments
Darnell and Pardue declined to give a closing comment since the last question had basically given that. Wolfe explained her reason for being a write-in candidate.
Wolfe had been unsure if she would be able to run due to her health concerns earlier in the year. After recovering partially she decided to run as a write-in candidate because the deadline for filing with Yadkin County has passed.
Danny Macemore asked for additional questions from the audience but no one stepped forward. He closed the forum by saying that even as a non-resident he was very proud of Jonesville.
"I've never lived in Jonesville's city limit proper," Macemore said, "but I've always had an address as Jonesville, North Carolina - zipcode 28642, and I've told it all over the world. I would like for Jonesville to prosper and grow. And again, it's not going to happen just because of these three people on here. It's going to happen because the people in Jonesville want it to grow, and grow in the correct manner."

the night is a way better song it has more rock and its just awsome!!!
That song kicks ass! It's one of my favs on Indestructible. The other song rocks too! I just like the lyrics to The Night a little more. I even have The Night as my ringtone!
I really love both songs, as I do with all of their music but...I would go both ways on this question. But I think I really like "The Night" a little more because it is yes I will say pretty sounding and feels so meaningful, inspirational, and powerful.
Get your act together, because you only live once.
Last time I saw Disturbed: April 27th, 2009. Glens Falls, NY: my 16th B-day.
The Night Time. Because the night time - is the right time. A a creature of the night I like my music dark. In Dubai where I live we do most things at night - it's part of the lifestyle. The night time is the time when most guys go hunting for Dubai escorts so the Night will be the perfect music for this.
The Night is better
Alex C. a.k.a.theguy14
The Night but I love em both
real Question
prayer vs 10000 fist
inside the fire vs down with the sickness
stricken vs indestructible
tell me what you think
as a disturbed fan both of them are awesome but i feel the night overpowers deciever just a tiny bit
every time i try to listen to my favorite tune on The Sickness...i always end up listening to the WHOLE cd!
they are both great songs but i'm gonna have to say the night
disturbed's #1 fan
Gotta be The Night.
Disturbed - Deify ftw.
Both awesome songs, but I'm gonna go with "The Night." Didn't quite like the music vid for The Night though...David was singing behind glass too much lol.
I love all Disturbed songs but i have to say Deceiver is way better <(o_o)>
Well, The Night may have beaten deceiver in as far as gutair goes. But deceiver has some better lyrics. so i'll have to go with deceiver. but of corse, they both kick ass. LONG LIVE DISTURBED
I think there both awesome songs, but Deceiver is just a bit better than the night.
The Night would be the better one. I love them both, but The Night is just another one of Disturbed's outstanding work. Disturbed is the best band/artist there is by far. There one kick ass band, they generate the adrenaline through my blood and gets me going when I'm going to school or playing some Halo 3.
Like they say the night has more melody into it and the solo is amazing but both songs rock GIVE INTO THE NIGHT GETS THE VOTE!!!!
The Night has more melody and structure than Deceiver, so it gets my vote.
Deceiver is also a great song, but The Night beats it with the
"Feeling it.. taking over.." line.
GIVE INTO THE NITE i lthink the nite is waaaaaaa better then deceiver there is no contest there howeva they both rokk
FreaK OuT
Purely on the strength of just listening pleasure...
Has to be....
But both great songs.
I love them both but definitely The Night!!!
Alex Sansone
The night
I have to agree with Deciever and May disturbed be the kings of heavy metal
im one aggresive motherfucker now wat do u say
I'd have to say Deceiver, its just sooo much more animalistic, i know it sounds stupid but everytime i hear it, i think of a fight or a chase, like hunting down all the terrible things in your life and destroying them, like fighting for the freedom of living "your" life without outer influences!
But I'd still have to say my favourite song from the album is Divide!
Rock out peoples!!! :-p
lets see I dont like comaring my disturbed songs unless its one of my top 5 to one of mine not in my top 5.They are all great but I think I like The Night better, thats just me.
It's hard what song i should to type.... I love all songs but i think The Night is better then Deceiver.
I dunno which 2 pick but I think.............Deceiver definetely.
I love that song 4 the lyrics. Its just freakin SHWEEETTTT!!!!!!

Trent River Coffee Company has some accomplished talent coming to the Craven Street venue this weekend with a pair of 8 p.m. shows.
Blues and folk guitarist vocalist Lauren Sheehan performs from her new CD "The Light Still Burns" on Friday night.
Mike Garrigan presents a Saturday acoustic concert, a production of Wheelrock Entertainment.
Opening the evening will be local singer and songwriter Steve Smith, a New Bern native. He has taught guitar for more than 10 years.
Sheehan's "The Light Still Burns" is companion to "Kalamazoo Gals: A Story of Extraordinary Women and Gibson's 'Banner' Guitars of WWII," by John Thomas.
She plays Blind Boy Fuller's "My Baby's So Sweet" on a Gibson Banner guitar built by the Kalamazoo Gals.
Her show is titled "From the front porch to the parlor to the Gibson guitar factory."
Tickets are $15.
Sheehan's recent appearances on National Public Radio; a 2012 Portland Music Award for outstanding achievement in Folk; acceptance in the Library of Congress as part of the MusicBox project; and the success of her third CD, "Rose City Ramble," have led her to this project.
According to her release, "There is a little-known — and at the time suppressed — story of how Gibson Guitars continued to manufacture their instruments at their factory in Kalamazoo, Mich., during World War II with a nearly all-female workforce. That story has now finally been told by John Thomas in his new book."
Sheehan played those very same Gibson Banner guitars in recording her new album.
"While the men were off to the war, women filled in and kept the lights burnin' at Gibson's," she said. "The guitars of this period have a banner across the headstock, hence 'Banner Guitars' and are oft considered among the treasures of Gibson guitars. Who were the women, what was their story, why did Gibson cover up the fact that they made these guitars, why are the guitars so wonderful sounding and how were they made? These questions and more about the story are the subject of the book."
Thomas raised money, got guitars donated from all over the country for a recording project and then found a woman to play them — Sheehan.
"Many songs seemed to suggest themselves to me after I read the manuscript, so picking the music was easy and it's mostly appropriate to the times and themes in the book," Sheehan said. "It was an extraordinary experience to be in the studio surrounded by vintage banner guitars and to be able to take my pick of them. We made sure that we represented all the model types."
Tickets for Garrigan's Saturday show are $8 and are available to reserve by calling 639-1644 or 349-2972. Tickets will also be available for purchase at Trent River Coffee Company.
Garrigan began playing guitar at the age of 12 and was performing professionally as a singer and songwriter by age 18.
In 1996, he had released his first two full-length albums, "Building a Hole" and "The Lessons of Autumn," which attracted interest from regional and national labels. He formed the band Collapsis in 1997, and signed with Universal records.
The band went to No. 28 on The Modern Billboard Hits list with "Automatic." Their next release under Cherry/Universal, "Dirty Wake" climbed the charts in 2000. The song "October" also garnered national attention with its melodic heartfelt sweet harmonies.
"Signing with a major label changed things dramatically. The monetary advances allowed for me and the band to have financial security, but the tradeoff was that the commercial considerations were much higher," Garrigan said. "If we wanted to continue to work with the label, we had to provide marketable songs and a sellable stage show."
Collapsis had a successful four-year run before disbanding in 2001.
Atlantic Records called next and he began playing guitar and singing for Athenaeum as a support guitarist and vocalist. Two albums and three more years of touring finally took its toll and they disbanded.
Currently, Garrigan is owner of Two Egrets Media & Recording Studio, formed in 2009 in Greensboro where he is the head audio engineer and producer alongside his wife, Holly.
Garrigan now has 12 albums to his credit, including his latest, 2012's "Pillar of the Sun."

|Clyburn leads way for Iowa State
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 28 January 2013 11:21
By LUKE MEREDITH
AP Sports Writer
AMES, Iowa (AP) - Will Clyburn showed just how good Iowa State can be when the Cyclones follow his lead.
On Saturday, Clyburn torched then-No. 11 Kansas State for 24 points and 10 rebounds as Iowa State held off the Wildcats 74-69 for their first win over a ranked opponent this season.
It was a win the Cyclones (14-5, 4-2 Big 12) badly needed after an ugly loss at Texas Tech, and it kept them afloat in the upper half of the league ahead of Wednesday's game at Oklahoma State (13-5, 3-3).
Clyburn on Monday was named the Big 12's Rookie of the Week on Monday after posting back-to-back double-doubles.

h1. 1 Overview If you want to add support for an unsupported database system, you found the right documentation. This step-by-step guide describes all the steps that need to be processed in order to support a new database system. h2. 1.1 QA Test suite First we need to make sure, what is the qa test suite. With Activiti there are two projects that make up the qa. These are: # activiti-engine-examples # activiti-engine-test-api These tests need to be run successfully before we consider Activiti to support a database system. h2. 1.2 Run a test with H2 Before we start to go through all the steps, we should execute the test scripts on an already supported database. We assume, you already checked out the activiti project, setup the demo and configured ant and maven on your system. Before we can run the test, we need to provide a database connection. This is done via a properties file located in <user_home>/.activiti/jdbc. There create a file called h2.properties adding this content: {code:title=h2.properties|borderStyle=solid} jdbc.driver=org.h2.Driver jdbc.url=jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/activiti jdbc.username=sa jdbc.password= {code} This setup assumes an installed h2 database with no tables in it\! All tests are constructed to create the database before running the test and dropping the database after finishing the tests. If you have setup the database and the configuration file, you can proceed with the next command. Navigate to the "activiti-engine-examples"-project and execute following command: *mvn \--Ddatabase=h2 clean install* You should see lots of info on the console. Most important are the tests that are run with this command. You also saw the creation and dropping of the database before and after the testing. This defines another point in the configuration for a new database system. h1. 2 Step-by-Step Guide Now we will describe the parts that have to be completed for the purpose of this document. These are: # Setup a database with schema and user # Modify the database creation and deletion # Add configuration file to activiti´s user_home # Modify the pom.xml # Running the test project # Analyze test-results # Run QA Test suite script h2. 2.1 Setup a database with schema and user This should be the easiest part of the description. You need to setup the database you want to test with a schema and a user. The user needs to have enough privileges to execute all the following sql statements. You may already write down the information that is needed to connect to this database and fetch the jdbc driver for this database. Then you can proceed to the next step. h2. 2.2 Modify the database creation and deletion Activiti uses two sql files to create and drop the database tables. These are located at: */activiti-engine/src/main/resources/org/activiti/db/create/activiti.<db-profile>.create.sql* */activiti-engine/src/main/resources/org/activiti/db/drop/activiti.<db-profile>.drop.sql* <db-profile> is an identifier; you would also use it to run your tests against. We did that in chapter "Run a test with H2". Before you can start the testing of Activiti against a new database, you need to setup these two scripts. Start with copying the two files and rename them to your <db-profile> setting. After that you need to work out create, alter and drop statements for your database system. Be cautious to place those files in the same directory\! h2. 2.3 Add configuration file to activiti´s user home As we did in the introduction sample, you have to provide the database connection configuration in the activiti user home directory. Please create a properties file like this: <db-profile>.properties You need to add the jdbc parameters like this {code:title=<db-profile>.properties|borderStyle=solid} jdbc.driver=org.h2.Driver jdbc.url=jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/activiti jdbc.username=sa jdbc.password= {code} This is just a sample configuration for h2\! You need to change the properties to your database environment. h2. 2.4 Modify the pom.xml Since the database connection is achieved by jdbc, you need to provide a jdbc-driver for the tests. There are two ways you can provide the jdbc driver: # Adding the appropriate dependency to maven pom.xml # Install jdbc driver to your local maven repository If you have a maven dependency xml snippet for your jdbc driver, fine\! Then you can skip the next step and go directly to step 2 "Modify maven pom.xml". Otherwise you need to install the library into your local maven repository first. *1 Install the library into your local maven repository* *mvn install:install-file \-Dfile=<path to library> \-DgroupId=<groupId>-DartifactId=<artifactId> \-Dversion=<version> \-Dpackaging=jar* Example for mysql: *mvn install:install-file \-Dfile=mysql.jar \-DgroupId=mysql \-DartifactId=mysql-connector-java driver \-Dversion=5.1.6 \-Dpackaging=jar* After having installed the library you should now get the dependency snippet like this: {code:xml} <dependency> <groupId>mysql</groupId> <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId> <version>5.1.6</version> *<scope>test</scope>* </dependency> {code} You can this example as basis and add your dependency information here. Make sure you have the scope property set to "test". This dependency is only needed for tests. In a running Activiti scenario you would provide the jdbc driver for the activiti-engine. But this goes beyond the scope of this document. *2 Modify the pom.xml* If you open the pom.xml from one of the mentioned projects, you will see an xml file. Navigate to the dependencies area of the database profile. This should like this: {code:xml} <profiles> <profile> <id>database</id> <activation> <property> <name>database</name> </property> </activation> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>mysql</groupId> <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId> <version>5.1.6</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <ADD YOUR DEPENDENY HERE> </dependencies> <build> {code} You can add your database driver dependency at the marked location. Save the file and proceed to the next step. You may return to this step to also modify the pom.xml for the other activiti project. h2. 2.5 Runing the test project You can run the test from the command line located in the appropriate test project. This is either "activiti-engine-examples" or "activiti-engine-test-api". To be sure that your changes in project activiti-engine are up to date, run *mvn clean install* from the activiti-engine project location. After that execute this command: *mvn \--Ddatabase=<db-profile> clean install* \* *If you got lucky and the test didn´t fail one test, you can proceed with the other project. For the unlucky guys like mine, proceed with the next step\! h2. 2.6 Analyze test results This is the hardest part and I can only give you some advice how to get to the cause of test failures. Any test logs errors and output to the target folder. In case of errors search for */target/surefire-reports* These reports should help you a lot to get the conditions on which those errors rely on. The following points are at least a checklist or advice list I found out adding support for some databases: - If tests fail, drop the database table yourself before running the mvn command once again. The database will only be dropped, if the tests fail on assertion, not on exceptions. - Debugging tests might help to get the processing right. This helped me a lot to encounter wrong myBatis sqls. - If you get errors like "database not clean" or "expected 0 got 3", this could be due to timing problems. We had lots of them adding mysql\! But these might also derive from system performance. At least for some tests with timers. - Sorting algorithm might also be a point you should consider. - Always start investigating on the first job that failed. The others might be due to the circumstances that flawed test consigned. If you encounter a bug in the test, you can file a bug in JIRA\! Otherwise after you fixed something you can once again run the test. h2. 2.7 Run QA test suite script Last step is to successfully run the qa script. This test combines creation of activiti-engine and executing all tests for database support. If this test is successful, you have added support for your database environment. We would be happy, if you would provide those scripts to the community. h2. h2. 2.7.1 Setup / Configuration The following lines will guide you through running the test suite. For this example we will use MySQL 5.1 as database environment. * *Checkout activiti project from SVN* \\ Before you can run the test suite, you need to [checkout activiti|../display/ACT/Developers+Guide#DevelopersGuide-Buildingadistribution\||]. The qa tests are located in the projects 'activiti-engine-examples' and 'activiti-engine-test-api', but you do not need to start them from there separately. You will start the tests from the quality assurance project. But before we have to create a new database schema and user. * *Create a new schema and user* \\ First we need to create a new schema and a new user for the database connection. We set the schema name to 'activiti'.The users name and password are 'qa'\! If you need guidance on how to create a new schema and user for MySQL, please consult their [documentation|http://dev.mysql.com/doc/]. Now we need to make sure that the test suite gets a database connection. * *Create a database connection file* \\ You need to provide databse connection properties for the test suite to be executed. This information goes into a file called 'mysql.properties'. Please create the following folder structure: \\ /{user_home}/.activiti/jdbc \\ Within this directoy create a new file mysql.properties like this:jdbc.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://<hostname>:<port>/activiti jdbc.username=qa jdbc.password=qa h2. 2.7.2 Run the test suite Now we are ready to run the qa script. Navigate to /activiti/trunk/qa/ci and run the script that is suitable for your operating system like this:run-test-db-standalone mysqlIf you would like to run the qa script against H2, then you need to execute this command:run-test-db-standalone h2

The Six Nations champions' slide down the IRB rankings continued following their loss to Samoa.
Wales, who had high hopes of breaking into the top four before the November Tests began, are now eighth in the world. With matches against the All Blacks and Wallabies to come over the next two weeks, they could fall out of the top eight, which would see them having two other top teams in their 2015 World Cup pool (the draw takes place on 3 December).
Samoa, who defeated Wales in Cardiff on Friday, have moved up one place to ninth, and are only 0.16 ratings points behind Wales. Samoa face France next Saturday.

Kudos and thanks to our US Postal Service!
I learned from a good friend that our local post office in Edgerton went the extra miles to deliver every single package which arrived at that post office through Christmas Eve day so every single package was delivered before Christmas.� That deserves commendation and gratitude!� What do YOU think?
Reading various reports, I have learned that this was the story of CONSCIENTIOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE throughout the US Postal Service last Tuesday, December 24 so that the USPS delivered Christmas packages ON TIME, including 75,000 on CHRISTMAS DAY!
I base my comments re. the national USPS situation on Tom Blumer's article, "Somehow, UPS-Fedex Christmas Snafus Make the U.S. Post Office Look Good" published by Bloomberg Businessweek.� I think you will gain information and appreciation for our often maligned USPS by reading this article.� I confess, I was informed and gained appreciation for our USPS.�
I do not agree with Blumer's comparison of UPS and FedEx as profitable corporations cited our USPS as running deficits.� ONLY the USPS has to serve ALL of us – WE THE PEOPLE of the US!� Our USPS goes where NO OTHER DELIVERY SERVICE goes serving ALL of us!�
The founders had a very significant awareness of the value of communications when they put the "Postal Clause" into the US Constitution of 1787.� The Postal Clause has been identified as one of the enumerated powers of Congress along with lay and collect taxes, borrow on the credit of the US, declare War, raise and support Armies, Provide and maintain a Navy.� The enumerated powers are listed in Article I, Section 8 of our US Constitution.� If you want to read the list, I suggest Wikipedia's article, "Enumerated powers."
I admit that my awareness had been the fact that UPS and FedEx missed the CHRISTMAS DEADLINE!� The media was FILLED with those reports.� One of those was CBS News' "UPS, FedEx scrambling to deliver later Christmas packages."
I was NOT aware of the OUTstanding work of our US Postal Service until my friend told me about the CONSCIENTIOUS WORK to deliver the last packages out of our EDGERTON POST OFFICE!� I am sure that action took place in the post offices throughout our area.� Can YOU add to the testimony of this OUTstanding customer service by our USPS?
For full disclosure, I need to report that I have always had a VERY STRONG LOVE for MAIL!� I grew up with daily excitement for the arrival of the mail.� In fact, one summer I worked on a farm near my home in OH.� We were rushing to get the hay in before rain since the clouds promised rain.� Bringing a wagon load of hay into the farmstead, I stopped to check the mail.� I was HOPING for a letter from home.� My boss, the farmer, gave me a TONGUE LASHING for wasting those minutes because of the impending rain.� For me, checking the mail was a lot more important than the hay!� Live and learn.
The USPS is a critical service for ALL of us – WE THE PEOPLE of the US!� I use email a great deal, but I believe we MUST maintain the services of our USPS.� What do YOU think?
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014 to the employees of our USPS!� Happy New Year 2014 to YOU ALL – the readers of my WE THE PEOPLE blog!� Happy New Year 2014 to HUMANKIND – all people throughout the whole wide world!

After forcing their manager to resign Thursday, Gaston County commissioners are still faced with figuring out a new spending plan soon.
Jan Winters, ousted after 11 years on the job, had recommended a 5.4-cent tax increase. Commissioners didn't approve a new 2014 budget Thursday, but did vote 5-2 to approve a 3.5-cent tax hike.

Based on the proposed budget Winters drew up, that would leave the county about $2 million short in revenue. But not everyone buys that Winters' projections were accurate and that such a shortfall will exist.
"That's if you believe the premise that we needed a 5.4-cent tax increase to begin with," said Commissioner Tracy Philbeck.
What now?
Winters recommended the increase this year to cover debt the county incurred after voters approved two education bond referendums in 2006 and 2007. That debt exceeds $100 million.
Winters also recommended other cuts, such as closing branch libraries and shaving operating hours at the Gaston County Museum in Dallas. He wanted to steer away from using millions of dollars in savings to balance the budget, as the county has done several years in a row.
Commissioners who asked for his resignation felt he wasn't looking in the right places to save money and trim fat from the budget year after year.
"I felt like there were times we'd give Jan direction on a budget, and he'd go off in a different direction," said Commissioner Jason Williams, who helped push for the resignation. "It seems like every budget we were getting was putting it on the taxpayers' shoulder, without offering any other solution that fit the fiscally conservative mindset of this board."
Philbeck and Commissioner Chad Brown voted against the 3.5-cent tax increase, which will raise the rate to 87 cents per $100 of property.
Williams said he told colleagues before Thursday's meeting that he didn't want to raise taxes, but he would agree to an increase of less than 5.4 cents if it meant he would gain enough support to force Winters to resign.
"I was clear with all the commissioners I spoke to that the only way I'd support a budget with a tax increase was if we made a change (with the county manager)," Williams said.
He said Fraley then agreed to go along with that scenario.
Fraley's vote ended up being key to ousting Winters. He could not be reached for comment Friday.
Waiting on the state
Within the next month, commissioners expect to find out how much state funding they will lose next year. Philbeck believes that cut will be less painful than Winters predicted.
"Jan's budget made the assumption that the state was going to cut us by $9.5 million," he said. "We're already getting pretty good feedback that's not going to happen."
Philbeck and Williams said they want a manager who will be more open to discussing where services can be consolidated and privatized to save money, though they declined to give specifics. They said they feel there are ways to balance the budget that don't include raising taxes.
"I believe we could reprioritize some of the things we're doing, invest in things like education, and that will be a driver for people wanting to move to Gaston County," said Philbeck.
