Surprisingly, most scientists do not regularly review the predictability of animal tests as part of their work- there is an assumption that animal tests work based on certain similarities with humans and long history of use. But it is not enough to come up with one or two examples of where animal tests appear to have been helpful. Just because animals were used as part of the drug discovery process also does not mean that they had to be used, nor that they were a key part. To be an effective scientific approach, animal testing needs to be consistently predictive – but this is far from the case.
"The claim that animal experimentation is essential to medical development is not supported by proper, scientific evidence but by opinion and anecdote. Systematic reviews of its effectiveness don't support the claims made on its behalf." (Pound, P. et al. 2004. British Medical Journal 328, 514-7.)
Where reviews of the predictability and utility of animal tests have been done, the results have been damning:
A review of highly cited animal studies of 76 potential new drugs found that, despite the studies indicating that the drug would work, only just over half were followed up in humans and of these, one third were found to produce conflicting results. Only 11% of the drugs were subsequently placed on the market. The authors concluded that "patients and physicians should remain cautious about extrapolating the findings of prominent animal research to the care of human disease". (Translation of research evidence from animals to humans. Journal of the American Medical Association 2006; 296, 1731-2.)
A review of six new drugs found that for two of the treatments human trials were conducted at the same time as the animal studies, while for another three human trials went ahead despite evidence of harm from the animal studies. The authors concluded; "This suggests that the animal data were regarded as irrelevant, calling into question why the studies were done in the first place and seriously undermining the principle that animal experiments are necessary to inform clinical medicine". (Where is the evidence that animal research benefits humans? British Medical Journal 2004; 328:514-7.)
A follow up review of a further six interventions for various human diseases found that the 'animal models' failed to accurately predict the human outcome in four cases. For two of these the animal tests actually suggested the drug would be helpful when it was in fact harmful. (Comparison of treatment effects between animal experiments and clinical trials: systematic review. British Medical Journal 2007; 334; 197-200)
A review of 101 "high impact" basic science discoveries based on pre-clinical (animal) research claiming human relevance found that only 5% successfully translated into approved treatments within 20 years. The authors concluded that, "Even the most promising findings of basic research take a long time to translate into clinical experimentation and adoption into clinical practice is rare". (Translation of highly promising basic research into clinical applications. American Journal of Medicine 2003, 114: 477-484).
In its key report on how to improve the development of drugs for people, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) noted that the chances of a drug being suitable for human patients even after it had passed all the animal tests and other laboratory studies, was only 8%. (Innovation or stagnation: Challenge and opportunity on the critical path to new medicinal products. US Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration; March 2004).
The US drug industry invests $50 billion per year in research and yet the number of new drugs that are approved annually is no greater than it was 50 years ago. Only 6% of the 4,300 companies that are engaged in drug innovation have registered a new drug since 1950. (Lessons from 60 years of pharmaceutical innovation. Drug Discovery 2009, 8: 959-968).
A review of the ability of animal tests to predict acute toxic effects in humans conducted by the drug industry found that out of 150 drugs, tests on rats and mice only predicted 43% of human effects. (Concordance of the toxicity of pharmaceuticals in humans and in animals. Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology 2000; 32: 56-67).
Researchers from Utrecht University found that out of 93 serious adverse reactions prompting action by the regulatory authorities only 19% could have been predicted by the animal tests done before the drugs were released onto the market. (The ability of animal studies to detect serious post marketing adverse effects is limited. Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology 2012, 64: 345-349.
A review of tests to find out whether chemicals affect the development of unborn animals found that the animal tests only predicted damage to human foetuses just over 50% of the time – in other words, virtually no better than tossing a coin. (The future of teratology research is in vitro. Biogenic Amines 2005; 19:97–145.)
Only 5% of the hundreds of compounds that are tested in human trials for use against cancer actually make it to the pharmacist's shelf, a success rate 50% lower than most other types of drug. (Can the pharmaceutical industry reduce attrition rates? Nature Reviews: Drug Discovery 2004, 3: 711-725).
Dr. Homer Pearce, a cancer researcher at drug company Eli Lilly, said "If you look at the millions and millions and millions of mice that have been cured, and you compare that to the relative success, or lack thereof, that we've achieved in the treatment of metastatic disease clinically, you realise that there just has to be something wrong with those models". (Why we are losing the war on cancer. Fortune Magazine, 22 March 2004).
"That said, personally I don't think most mouse model studies translate immediately to human disease. Ninety-nine per cent of them don't" said Lynda Chin, a cancer researcher at the University of Texas. (Recapitulating human cancer in a mouse. Nature Biotechnology 2013, 31: 392-395).
See Cancer briefing for more information and criticisms of animal experiments.
Derek Hill, professor of medical imaging science at UCL, said, "The drug development world is littered with [Alzheimer's] drugs that seemed to work on transgenic mice but don't work in people". (Cancer drug reverses Alzheimer's in mice. New Scientist 2012, 18:17).
A review of 160 potential treatments for brain diseases including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke and spinal cord injury concluded that, "there is a great discrepancy between the intervention effects found in preclinical animal studies and those found in clinical trials of humans with most of these interventions rarely achieving successful translation". (Evaluation of excessive significance bias in animal studies of neurological diseases. PLoS Biology 2013, 11;7).
See Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease briefings for more information and criticisms of animal experiments.
Dr. Phillipe Menasche, a professor of cardiovascular surgery at the University of Paris, speaking about the hype of stem cell therapy for heart disease, said "Once again in medicine, clinical outcomes have not matched the hopes raised by animal data". (Skeletal myoblasts and cardiac repair. Molecular Cell Cardiology 2007, 45: 545-553).
British Heart Foundation researcher Dr. Paul Williams, said "Despite a huge amount of basis science research, promising animal studies, and numerous clinical trials, to date no gene therapy [for heart disease] has demonstrated unequivocal benefit in the clinical setting". (Gene therapy for cardiovascular disease – white knight of white elephant? British Cardiovascular Society Editorial, 8 Feb 2010).
See Heart disease briefing for more information and criticisms of animal experiments.
Of over 1,000 potential neuroprotective stroke treatments that had been successful in animal models, only approximately 10% progressed to human trials but none were successful. Of these approximately 50% were tested in humans before the animal tests were published. (1,026 Experimental Treatments in Acute Stroke. Annals of Neurology 2006; 59, 467-77.)
See Stroke briefing for more information and criticisms of animal experiments.
An analysis of 174 trials of neuropathic pain treatments found that the majority of patients did not report significant pain relief, and, in some trials, a high number of people dropped out early because of the adverse drug reactions. (The evidence for pharmacological treatment of neuropathic pain. Pain 2010, 150: 573-581). "The animal models of neuropathic pain just don't seem to be that efficient," said Dr. Andrew Rice, pain researcher at Imperial College. (Animalgesic effects. Nature Medicine 2010, 16: 1237-1240).
A review of the animal and human trials of HIV vaccines found that: "To date, 85 candidate AIDS vaccines have been tested in 197 clinical trials. Just 12% of these trials have reached Phase II, only seven (3.5%) have reached Phase III, and altogether, 18 trials were prematurely terminated. None has been successful". (An Assessment of the Role of Chimpanzees in AIDS Vaccine Research. Alternatives to Laboratory Animals 2008; 36, 1–48).
Out of 150 clinical trials testing potential drugs to treat sepsis, not one has been successful. When a team of researchers compared gene responses in mouse models with the patterns found in human sepsis patients, they were unable to find a single similarity; in fact the responses in mice were "close to random" in matching the equivalent human gene response. (Genomic responses in mouse models poorly mimic human inflammatory diseases. PNAS 2013, 110:3507-12). "Clearly, current animal models seem to be incapable of predicting human trials of new agents," says Dr. Mitchell Fink, a surgeon at the University of California. (Rodent models of sepsis found shockingly lacking. Nature Medicine 2012, 18:998).
Dr. Mark Davis, an immunologist at Stanford University in California, said that mice make a "lousy model" for the human immune system. Davis says: "Hundreds of clinical trials have been based on curing mice, but almost none led to clinical treatments". "Studies on mice are very elegant and beautiful, but they aren't reflecting the needs of the [human] population," says Dr. Jacques Banchereau, head of the Baylor Institute for Immunological Research in Texas. (Immunology uncaged. Science 2010, 327:1573).
Daniel Sarewitz, co-director of the Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes at Arizona State University, said "The technology to produce unlimited numbers of identical transgenic mice attracts legions of researchers and abundant funding because it allows for controlled, replicable experiments and rigorous hypothesis-testing – the canonical tenents of 'scientific excellence'. But the findings of such research often turn out to be invalid when applied to humans". (Beware of the creeping cracks of bias. Nature 2012, 485: 149).

Conservation and Conflict: Cross-sectoral Collaboration, Funding Issues and Next Steps
In September 2001, the Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group (ABCG) held a meeting with resource people from the relief, development and donor sectors to discuss lessons learned about how to promote cross-sectoral collaboration and continue conservation funding during and after times of conflict. Participants discussed the need for continued funding during war and conflict through financial planning and management. They also discussed the importance of continuing funding for staff working in conservation areas throughout the conflict. In order to promote collaboration, lessons were shared about the value of increasing understanding, conducting planning, and communicating with other sectors about the importance of conservation so that relationships are already established, if conflict occurs. In addition, it was recommended that conservation staff at all levels be trained so they are prepared to take over leadership, technical skills, and management during periods of conflict.
Healing the Rift: Mitigating Conflict Over Natural Resources in the Albertine Rift
In 2010, ABCG hosted Dr. Andrew Plumptre, Director of the Wildlife Conservation Society's (WCS) Albertine Rift Program, in a brown bag talk on his work to mitigate conflict over natural resources in the region. With funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development, and working with the International Institute for Sustainable Development, WCS has been developing a conflict resolution process and practitioner's manual to help people working in conflict situations to better analyze and find solutions to resolve conflicts

The second day of the Paarl Gym Wildeklawer Festival saw the Western Cape schools dominate their upcountry opponents.
The hosts Paarl Gym caused a major upset by toppling Affies, who were previously unbeaten going into the fixture, by 22-16 in the feature game of the final day.
Paarl Gym outscored their northern counterparts by three tries to one. Fullback Jaque du Plessis scored twice to secure victory for the 'Gimmies'. Paul Roos also maintained their strong start to the season by defeating Waterkloof 16-13 in a tense encounter. Goal kicker Wouter van Niekerk proved to be the Stellenbosch school's hero, contributing 11 points via the boot.
Paarl Boys' also had a convincing win over EG Jansen from Johannesburg, outclassing their opposition by 30-0. Flyhalf Gavin Hauptfleish turned in another stellar performance with the boot. He kicked 15 points via three conversions and three penalties. Hauptfleish looks to be a strong contender for the WP Craven Week side as he has a natural ability to read and dictate a game. 'Boishaai' scored three well worked tries to sink EG Jansen who looked lethargic and deflated after their loss to Paul Roos on Saturday, having squandered a 24-point lead.
Boland Landbou also produced a strong finish to the day when the Agricultural side beat Diamantveld 24-17 in an entertaining six-try affair. However, it was the accuracy of flyhalf Alex de Kock's boot that secured victory for Landbou.
In the day's other results Framesby had a convincing win over HTS Middelburg, in the process winning the award for the most attractive rugby on the day. Outeniqua were humbled by Monument from Krugersdorp 27-20, a shock result for the high flying 'streepies' side from George that have proved to be a well drilled unit so far this year.
Paul Roos, Paarl Boys and Monument ended the tournament as the only unbeaten sides. Philip Taylor, coach of the Paarl Gym side, told keo.co.za that the festival had produced some quality rugby showcasing great schoolboy rugby talent from around the country. The inaugural tournament proved to be a monumental success.
Monday results:
Paul Roos Gimnasium 16 Waterkloof 13
Paarl Boys' High 30 Dr EG Jansen 0
Boland Landbou 24 Diamantveld 17

Volunteer crew labors to care for Pacific Crest Trail

A trail crew with the North 350 Blades volunteer group plow through foliage and overgrowth on the Pacific Crest Trail near Stevens Pass. The North 350 Blades volunteer for trail work all the way from the Canadian border to Highway 12 near White Pass.
What they found was a section of trail that was rocky, rooty, brushy and nasty.
They made it as far as Stampede Pass before turning around. In all, the hike was 36 miles, a bit short of their goal, but with the condition of the trail it still took them all day.
"After wallowing around in all that, it really got us motivated to start doing trail work," Teschlog said. "You can either whine about it or do something about it."
So he decided to take on another challenge. In 2009, after learning the Washington Trails Association would be working on that section of PCT, he joined the work crew and spent several days on the trail with the WTA.
A year later, the Pacific Crest Trail Association opened a new office in Seattle. He gave them a call and offered to volunteer. The first work parties were just a handful of people. The group kept it up, and adopted the name the North 350 Blades, North 350 because they maintain the north 350 miles of the trail and Blades because all their work involves a blade of some sort. They've been growing ever since.
Their first year, 2010, they did 400 hours of volunteer work. This year they had already well surpassed that by the end of their first big work party in June.
That first work party was two days of work on the Pacific Crest Trail, just north of where it crosses U.S. 2 at Stevens Pass. Eighteen volunteers worked on the trail each day, plus additional volunteers helping with support and housing. Trail work included clearing brush, improving the trail tread and creating good drainage to keep water from damaging the trail.
Mary Houston, who works in Everett and lives in Ballard, spent the weekend on the crew. It was her first time as trail crew. She's done a tiny bit of hiking on the PCT and has more planned, including a long day hike starting on the same section where she helped work.
"I figured if I'm going to use the trail, I might as well help to maintain it," she said.
Houston said she had always appreciated the work other trail crews had done while hiking on her own.
"It was great to be on the other side," she said. "It was really gratifying to step back and see what we had done."
Houston, who works for Housing Hope and has done a lot of volunteer work over the years, was impressed with how well the group managed its volunteers and made them feel appreciated.
"I felt I got what I needed as a volunteer, they made it a great experience," she said.
She's already signed up for another trip in August.
Before the trip started, Teschlog explained the rules for the weekend.
No. 1. Be safe.
No 2. Have a good time.
"And then, if we can manage those two," Teschlog said, "we can get to No. 3 and get some work done."
And the crew did get plenty of work done. All together, they covered about 1.3 miles, clearing brush and improving tread.
The trail crew that weekend was made up of many people with a strong connection to the PCT. Some had hiked all of it, either all in one go or over many years, and most had spent many hours hiking the trail or others.
Kari Obrist of Bellingham drove down to spend time working. She had hiked the lower 500 miles of the trail earlier this year and found it very hard to leave. So, she asked "How can I stay engaged in this thing that is still very important to me?"
Teschlog hiked the whole trail in 2006 and calls it "the best summer of his life, hiking the trail." He still feels that connection to the trail and spends a lot of time hiking it.
"It's my way of giving back to the trail for everything I've received from it," he said. "I think that's a fairly common motivation."
Get out and help
The North 350 Blades has many more work parties planned for the season, including some overnight backpacking trips. The biggest trips are posted on www.pcta.org/volunteer/project-schedule. For shorter trips, check the group's Facebook page, www.facebook.com/North350Blades, or email email@example.com to get emails about upcoming projects.
Some of the trips:
- Big Crow Basin, Aug. 2-9: Volunteers will backpack to a base camp, where they will spend several days and work on the trail. Meal will be provided by a camp chef.
- Blowout Mountain, Aug. 14-17: Crews will regrade a section of trail. This is a good project for those who have never done trail work before. Volunteers can car camp near by and most meals will be provided.
- Snoqualmie Pass, Aug. 22-24: Crews will do tread work and clear brush. On Saturday, they'll wrap up work in time to set up chairs and cheer on runners of the Cascade Crest 100-mile race.
- Stevens Pass North, Sept. 5-7: A backpack trip to work on the trail. Prior backpacking experience needed.
- Stevens Pass North, Sept. 6-7: A backpack trip to work on the trail. Prior backpacking experience needed.

Pharoh Cooper read the eyes of Concord quarterback B.J. Beecher. The South Carolina commit stepped in front of the pass and dashed 87 yards for a touchdown.
Havelock's senior stepped up at the right time.
The Rams fell behind 13-7 when Cooper took the interception back for a go-ahead score.
Havelock pulled away for a 55-21 win over Concord in the 3A state championship game in Winston-Salem.
Saturday's championship game won't be the only time Cooper and Beecher will see each other on the football field.
They will be teammates at the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas, along with Havelock's A.J. Coplon, on Dec. 15.
"It was a great feeling to play against a future teammate," Cooper said. "It was even better that we all had an impact on the state championship game."
Cooper was the game's Most Valuable Player. He ran for 81 yards and a touchdown, and threw for two others, and had the big interception return.
Beecher, Concord's Outstanding Offensive Player, threw for 267 yards and three scores.
Coplon, the Rams' speedy defensive back, had his game-changing moment. On Concord's opening drive of the second half, Coplon scooped up a fumble and returned the ball 61 yards for a touchdown, giving Havelock a 28-21 lead.
The Rams never relinquished the lead.
"That was a momentum-changer," Cooper said. "It was a big play in the game. The ball was ripped out by a group of players. A.J. picked it up and scored."
Beecher, a 6-foot-7 quarterback for Concord, guided the Spiders to a 21-20 halftime edge.
The upset-minded Beecher completed 13-of-19 passes for 189 yards with three touchdown in the first half.
The Spiders scored on a 30-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-long in the second quarter. Beecher completed a pass to Alex Asbury, who tossed the ball to Zoch Heilig to finish the hook-and-lateral.
Beecher gave Concord a 13-7 lead with a 37-yard scoring pass to running back Rocky Reid.
Following Cooper's interception, Beecher completed a 21-yard touchdown pass to Jerry Burk.
Cooper ran for a score, returned an interception for a touchdown and hit Harry Caldwell for an 11-yard score just seconds before halftime.
With Cooper, Coplon and Beecher on the same team in the Shrine Bowl, North Carolina will have a talented trio.

The Wallabies have lost their last 12 matches against the All Blacks at Eden Park but coach Robbie Deans says it means nothing in the context of the World Cup.
The local media reminded Deans of the Wallabies record at Eden Park, where they last won in 1986, and where they also lost to Ireland in the Pool Stages of this World Cup.
Deans was unfazed: 'It's the first occasion we've played them in a semi final of a World Cup at Eden Park, so there's no history,' said Deans. There were also New Zealand reminders that the All Blacks had never beaten the Wallabies in the World Cup, having lost to them in the 1991 semi-final in Dublin and 2003 semi-final in Sydney.
Deans, a former All Black fullback and assistant All Blacks coach in the 2003 World Cup, won five championships with the Crusaders before being rejected as All Blacks coach in 2008.
He applied for the All Blacks job after Graham Henry's side lost in the World Cup quarter-finals against France in 2007. The New Zealand Rugby Union opted to retain Henry and Deans took up the Australian job. In the four years the two have met 14 times with the All Blacks winning 11 times.
Significantly the first win was in Sydney the first time the two teams met under the respective coaches, after which Henry won 10 in succession. The Wallabies then won in injury time in Hong Kong, lost at Eden Park and won the most recent Test in Brisbane to claim the Tri Nations title.
Both match 22′s will only be named later in the week and the only injury concern among the Australians is fullback Kurtley Beale. He was described as having a 50 percent chance of playing after being injured in the 11-9 quarter-final win against South Africa.

How do you ask the potential employer in the interview if the project you will be working on is Support and Maintenance or new development?
Last time in the interview I asked this question and I was told its a support + new development but it turned out to be support + enhancements. I don't want to make the same mistake again and get into something like this. Most of the time people interviewing will tell its a support + new development but thats not what it turns out to be after accepting the job.
So what kind of questions will get the right answer if the project is really a new development or its just support and patching and hope it works kind of a project.

Building Groovy Eclipse in Eclipse on Ubuntu 10.04
Below is a step-by-step list of instructions that takes you through the process of setting up an Eclipse environment for building the Greclipse plugin.
These instructions where written while going through the process on an Ubuntu 10.04 machine. So in places they are specific to that environment.
If someone tries these instructions in a different environment (say Mac OS X or Windows) it would be nice to provide a copy of this page with appropriate modifications for those environments.
Step 1: Install Eclipse
Install one of
- Eclipse for RCP/Plug-in Developers (183 MB)
- Ubuntu note: Don't install Eclipse from the Ubuntu repositories download it manually from eclipse.org instead.
- Eclipse STS pick and install the package appropriate for your OS.
I prefer to install Eclipse RCP instead of STS. The main reason is that the RCP plugin environment comes with all the source code for JDT plugins, which is quite useful while working on Greclipse, which heavily subclasses from JDT.
Step 2: Install Subversion on your machine
We'll need to checkout the Groovy sources from SVN. There are two options available for installing Eclipse support for subversion.
- Subversive from the Eclipse.org repositories (recommended)
- Subclipse from http://subclipse.tigris.org/
Note: For Subversive, it is possible to skip this step (OS install of subversion) entirely as there is a "Full Java" version of the backend libraries. I recommend this option since it is the easiest, most painless install process. If you choose this path, skip to Step 3.
In Ubuntu (10.04):
Open Synaptic and search for subversion.
I found and installed both of the following:
- subversion 1.6.6
- libsvn-java 1.6.6
Step 3: Install Eclipse support for Subversion
If you have something already installed, you may just want to go with that. Otherwise choose either Subversive or Subclipse and follow instructions below.
Step 3.a: Subversive Install
To install subversive, you go through the Galileo update site (under "Help >> Install New Software"). You don't need to add it, it should already be there (with a standard install of Eclipse or STS). Under the Collaboration category find and install:
- Subversive SVN Team Provider
- Subversive SVN Integration for the Mylin project (optional)
After installing these and restarting Eclipse, you will be prompted to install an SVN connector package. Pick a version that matches your install of subversion (e.g. I installed the JavaHL 1.6 connector to match the version installed in my OS). If you chose to go with the "pure java" option rather than native libraries, pick the most recent "full java" version (1.1.7 at the time of this writing, for Eclipse 3.6).
Step 3.b: Subclipse Install
As an alternative to Subversive you can install Subclipse instead. (Note: It is probably a bad idea to install both of them at the same time)
Before installing Subclipse, check which version you need to install. Essentially it depends on which version of subversion and the JavaHL library you have installed in your OS. It is recommended to get the more recent version of JavaHL and SVN to be able to install the more recent version of subclipse plugin.
With version 1.6.6 of the JavaHL (libsvn-java) we need to install the corresponding Subclipse version: 1.6.x.
This can be installed from the Subclipse 1.6 update site:
Step 3: Eclipse Java Library Path
If you are on Linux, and you did not choose the "pure Java" install, you may still need to tell Eclipse (or STS) about the installed JavaHL libraries. If you chose a pure java SVN install you can skip this step.
Ubuntu 10.04 with Eclipse RCP
Add the library path into the eclipse.ini file in the eclipse installation directory. In my case, I manually installed Eclipse into my home directory so I added
to the end of ~/Applications/eclipse/eclipse.ini
Make sure this line is placed somewhere after the -vmargs line.
Ubuntu (10.04) with STS (2.3.2)
Add the library path into the STS.ini file in the STS installation directory. In my case, I manually installed Eclipse into my home directory so I added
to the end of ~/Applications/springsource/sts-2.3.2.RELEASE/STS.ini
Make sure this line is placed somewhere after the -vmargs line.
You may want to check whether the JavaHL library is properly installed: in Eclipse Preferences >> Team >> SVN >> SVN Connector it should display the version of the library if it is properly installed.
Note: The "win32 only" comment in the version info seems untrue, things work just fine under Linux, so just ignore it.
Step 4: Install GREclipse (Groovy Eclipse)
Some of the projects contain Groovy code, so we need to have Groovy support installed.
Preferably, the latest version of Groovy Eclipse should be installed, which can be obtained
from the update site for the latest snapshot:
Alternately, the following update site can be used, albeit an older version:
In STS it can also be installed via the Dashboard from the Extensions Tab. (I have not tried this method)
Step 5: Checkout Source from SVN
In SVN repository exlorer: Add SVN repository location: https://svn.codehaus.org/groovy/eclipse|\
Under trunk, we find the following structure. (Currently, trunk contains the code for Eclipse 3.6, if you want the Eclipse 3.5 stream, check out the code under branches/E35 instead, you will find similar tree structure under there).
- trunk
- base
- org.codehaus.groovy
- ...
- base-test
- org.eclipse.jdt.groovy.core.tests.builder
- ...
- extras
- ...
- ide
- ...
- base
Each of the directories base, base-test, extras and ide contains a number of eclipse projects. Check out all the projects except those in extras. You must select only the projects (e.g. org.codehaus.groovy), but not the directories base, base-test, ... themselves.
This can be done easily as follows: You can select multiple projects by control-clicking on each project. When all projects are selected do a "check out as project" (subclipse) or "check out" (subversive) to check them out all at once.
Step 6: Run the tests
Do Run As->JUnit plugin test on org.codehause.groovy.alltests.
Note 1: There are two separate sets of tests in alltests plugin:
- AllGroovyTests.java
- GroovyJDTTests.java
At the time when I wrote this, *running both test suites at once resulted in a number of test
failures* in the GroovyJDTTests suite. Running both the suites separately I got no such failures.
Note: If you get an Out of Memory Error like this (I got this in STS)
You can increase the size of PermGen space in "Run As -> Run Configurations"
Add this to VMArguments:

As a freshman Monique Lofton showed up for varsity basketball practice with the intentions of getting it over so she could go home.
Now a senior, Kinston's leading scorer — and its girls basketball program — have come a long ways.
Lofton, a four-year starter who leads the Vikings with 14 points per game, is a direct reflection of the school's girls basketball program as her and it have grown and matured over the last four seasons to reach the state championship for the first time in school history.
The little girl who couldn't wait for practice to end three years ago now can't wait for Saturday to arrive when her and her teammates will face Canton Pisgah at the Dean E. Smith Center at noon.
"It feels great. It is a dream come true," Lofton said. "My freshman year? I never even thought about it.
"It hasn't really hit me yet, though."
When Lofton was a freshman the Vikings didn't do too bad — they were 13-11 and reached the state playoffs. But each season since Kinston (26-4) has gotten better and made it farther than then season before it.
The same can be said for Lofton.
"I've seen her grow from a kid that would cry over a missed jump shot to a kid that's somebody that's joined at the hip with me. She's a joy to coach. She's a leader," Vikings coach Hubert Quinerly said. "She's somebody that I look to to keep everything in line.
"You're really starting to see her evolve. She's really took her game to another level. It's not just her game, but her maturity level has come so far. It's awesome."
Lofton fractured her right ankle during practice as a freshman. As a sophomore she fractured her shooting wrist. But she's overcome those injuries to be one of the quickest on the defensive end and one of the sharpest on the offensive end.
Each year Lofton's production has improved. As a freshman she averaged nearly eight points per game and that mark increased to 10.8 points as a sophomore. As a junior she kept that same average according to team stats at Maxpreps.com but this year she's at 14 points per contest — best on the team.
Meanwhile, her team was knocked out of the state playoffs in the first round Lofton's freshman season. Her sophomore year it reached the regionals and as a junior the Vikings advanced to the regional championship for the first time.
This year, Kinston will join the boys program in Chapel Hill on Saturday — something the girls team has longed for.
"Everybody says 'Oh, yeah, the boys are going to the championship, and everybody expected that. The girls? Nobody expected that," Lofton said. "The boys have (accomplished) everything. We wanted it, and I guess we wanted it bad enough that we're going to go get it."
Not only are Lofton's offensive production and defense factors in Kinston's success, her leadership is also.
The girl who wanted to get in a few shots then go home as a freshman is now a vocal leader who will use any opportunity to coach and motivate her team.
When the Vikings found themselves on the wrong end of a run late in the game at Pittsboro Northwood in the third round, it was Lofton who told her teammates to keep playing during a timeout with 3 minutes to play.
They went on to win 65-57 and advance to the regionals for the third straight season.
The little girl who couldn't wait for practice to end is all grown up.
"We've progressed every year," Lofton said. "I've become a better player. I've come around. It gets easier the longer you play."

An Answering God
by Walter Brueggemann | February 2010
Reflections on the Revised Common Lectionary, Cycle C
The readings for February include the final Sundays of Epiphany and the first Sundays of Lent, linked by the pivot of Ash Wednesday.
Take Action on This Issue
- Deuteronomy 26 is a classic affirmation concerning the God who saves, provides, and protects. This God is powerfully and totally committed to God's treasured people.
- Psalm 91 is a poetic affirmation about the protective God for the journey. The psalmist names the many threats on the journey of life, and then points to God's protective angels who keep us safe from snakes, lions, and every threat.
- Paul affirms "salvation" for all who trust in Christ, for this God is "Lord of all" and "generous to all who call on him" (Romans 10:12). There is no qualifying condition. We need only shun other helps and trust completely.
The narrative of Luke offers a challenge to this threefold affirmation. The tempter seeks to talk Jesus out of his security and his vocation by offering other fake modes of well-being. In Luke 4:10 the tempter quotes from our psalm as a way of seduction. But Jesus refuses the offer. (In the reprise of the same story in Matthew 4:11, the angels of Psalm 91 minister to Jesus, just as promised.)

Secrets of My Research Success:
About the Final Quiz
How do I take the quiz for a class?
If you are required to take the quiz for a class, there will be a link in the Course Content area of your online classroom.
What does the quiz look like?
The quiz consists of 10 randomly generated multiple choice questions.
Is there a sample quiz?
You can see sample quiz questions at the Sample Final Quiz (PDF). Note that you will not be able to submit your quiz responses or see the correct answers to the sample questions.
What happens after I take the quiz?
After taking the quiz, click on the Submit My Answers button at the bottom of the page. You will automatically see which answers are correct and which are incorrect, as well as the correct answers for all of the questions.
How can I have my score e-mailed to my instructor and me?
The quiz is set up so that when it is accessed properly from the link in your online classroom, it will automatically capture certain information about you. At the top and bottom of the page with your score is a button that says Email Score to Your Professor . Click on this button to have your score automatically e-mailed to your instructor and cc'd to you at the e-mail address on file in your online classroom.
What if I forget to click on the button to have my score e-mailed?
If you re-access the quiz from your online classroom, you will see a message saying that you have already taken the quiz for the class, and you will also see your quiz score. The button to have your score e-mailed to your instructor and cc'd to you will be available again on this page.
Can I take the quiz more than once?
The quiz is set up so that students can only take it once per class.
Is the Secrets of My Research Success quiz the same thing as the VAIL tutor?
These are two completely different quizzes. The Library originally created and continues to manage the Secrets of My Research Success quiz. The VAIL Tutor was originally created by the Center for Intellectual Property (CIP), a department no longer in existence at UMUC, several years ago and they did not include a database to manage and retain quiz scores when constructing this product. While the Library now oversees the VAIL Tutor, because of the lack of a score management system, the Library is unable to provide you with your current or previous scores if you do not record them upon completion.

Maybe we should have someone actually chairing the meeting? It's hard to "raise your hand" through Mumble, but maybe we could flash the push-to-talk button if we have something to say, and someone keeps a list of speakers and say when it's someone's turn. That's how it is usually done in big meetings.

People can x-up in mumble channel text chat. That would be an easier to notice "hands up"Originally Posted by CROCONOUGHTKEY
Sounds good. Flashing PTT by just keeping it open for a second or two would work as well imo (with overlay).
If I speak, to be fair its because theres something to say that is relevant, or I have been asked a question. I didnt cut anybody off, and I dont believe eclectic did either tbh.. I think I was the first person to actually make a point in asking for more speakers! Most people just didnt speak save a few individuals who then joined in.
I dont mean to make this sound too bad, but I just see that as plain bullshit. I know I did speak out, but so did a lot of others and therefore to pin blame here is a bit pissy... sorry Ride, but it was a little unfair given you are usually one of the first people who speaks out loud and proud :P. No disrespect meant, but you see my point im sure.
I did not during this meeting though, and no, you did speak a lot about pretty much all topics. Regarding cut offs - I probably shouldn't have wrote that as it happened like two times.
The reason why there was so few people speaking up was because it almost never got quiet, and when it did, some of the already vocal people spoke again. I did NOT talk a lot and was also personally whispered on why I was so quiet. I personally felt that there was absolutely no place to get a word in.
Regarding having a fair say, I spoke for about two minutes regarding something was specifically asked to me since it was about my proposed comms system. I also piped up a few other times. Generally I am one of the chattiest, yes, I fully agree, and I probably talk way too much generally, regardless if I lead or not.
I see now that it was a mistake to call out individuals though.

Before this derails into pointless accusations ... let's just aim to be more concise and only speak when we have to contribute relevant stuff.
Yes, you have a point there, I tend to talk a lot. And since this is a second language, it also tends to take a lot of time to talk a lot :P
Will try to keep it short and sweet, although, I have to warn you, there is a point in tomorrow's agenda I want to say a fair bit about.
I'm not going to name anyone, and who it was doesn't really matter. I remember during my only time to speak I was interrupted during my second sentence by someone, and it was annoying.
please, be excellent to each other.
Well, sorry for not being excellent. I fully admit I wasn't. I felt a need to specify who I actually meant since I do think we should that kind of an open atmosphere here where such things can be discussed without much trouble.
I do realize that was probably a bad idea.
Guys, if you're concerned that someone is talking too long, be it in game generally or in a meeting, you have to speak up and make it abundantly clear. Be that retrospectively or to bear in mind for the future. If there are specific people you think need to close their mouths a little bit more, be polite and contact them privately. There is zero need to air these things in public, even if people agree with you. It's not fair on the person being criticised because in all likelihood, what you're criticising them off they likely aren't aware of and are certainly not doing it maliciously and it doesn't look amazing on you either.
As for during the meetings, perhaps a time limit of how long people should speak for. Maybe, at most a minute at a time? 90 seconds? Just throwing out numbers here. There certainly does need to be some priority system for communicating, I'd agree that much.
Yup, fair points made by all. I was also guilty of rambling on about the Public Platoon at one stage. But anyway!! Lets just drop it all here, learn from that, and move forwards with the excellent idea of "X-ing in chat" if you have something to say about the highlighted subject.
I am very happy to chair the meeting tomorrow, and if everyone is fine with that, i propose that we go with the X-chat structure.
I'll introduce the topic, then say "If anyone has anything they would like to mention about this then please put an X in chat now." Give it 10 seconds, then open the floor to the x-ee's one after the other. I would suggest though, that we set an allowance of 3 X's, per subject, per person. (i'll be keeping tally) Simply to avoid the use of "and also, another thing is" when somebody takes the floor. That way, the only points people will being raising will be ones that they deem the most important (hint hint).
I'll take notes on what each of you say, so we have the chance to re-discuss the key points on the forums later on (if we want to). Now, obviously not everyone is going to have something to say straight away, in fact the majority will probably listen to the points raised, then think of something to say. Though to avoid this 'waiting for inulectual stimulation effect' to drag the chat on, i suggest a guideline time limit of 30 minutes. That's long enough for most people to at least think of one thing, let alone 3. (Though time spent on subjects will fluctuate based on how many people respond and how many x's they each use up.)
Once that subject is closed, it's closed. Simply for the good of the 'Outfit Chat'. It's not the end of the world if you don't get to air your personal opinion or response to somebody else's suggestion/opinion. Then wash, rinse, repeat.
Note: The above is not intended to be strict guidelines. It's simply a skeleton set of rules.
Response to peoples points is definitely encouraged, it's an outfit discussion after all. I'll just keep tabbs on who speaks, how many times they do, how relevant it is in the current context and usher on the next subject if things stagnate.
I won't be able to make this one due to business arrangements, unfortunately. I'm looking forward to the recap though.
Do you think it's wise to take notes yourself, though? I'm thinking it can be a lot to keep track of. If you're confident it'll work, then go ahead.
And definitely, yeah. I would much rather somebody else took the notes. It would let me focus 100% on Chairing. I only said i would to try and steer this thread into more constructive winds. Somebody up for that? I will likely take notes anyway, just not particularly thorough ones.
There were no lengthy comments about every topic, because I had no interest in most of the topics. For example, I didnt speak at all during the discussion about inter outfit organisation because its not something I care to participate in. (not because I dont value the idea, just because I have no interest in that level of organisation).
I listed the topics that I spoke about and any other input would have only been to ask for more people speaking up. To be absolutely fair, while I did speak about those issues I had a part in (youtube, public platoon).I just tend to say everything then and there.. I see no real need and have no desire to go out of my way being concise. If I have no place in it, I dont comment.
Ride, thanks for accepting that it was a little offensive/bad naming names. I only make the point about you speaking a lot because I do often hear you being fairly vocal about issues such as comms.
I couldnt comment about anybody else that you guys also felt spoke too much, but I didnt feel that eclectic spoke too much either.
I also couldnt help it that there were topics that directly involved me, otherwise I probably wouldnt have spoken as much at all.... well I could have, but then the issue would have had one perspective missing.
Personally, when ive been in the mumble before, its usually me who feels I cant get a word in unless I make a point to make space for myself to speak, so I have no idea how its gone this way.
Apologies for "not being excellent" if you consider it that, but im just being honest in voicing this. Im sorry for extending this too, but I do consider it a bit of a personal hit and dont think I actually spoke all that much at all..
Back on topic: good luck nick if you do end up taking the notes/whatever. If you are planning on chairing it though, it would really be a good idea if somebody else takes notes. Mind you, im not volunteering for that...

It was no hit. It was my experience, and I was also being - from my perspective - honest in voicing it. I meant no ill will, but I did want to clear the air and get it out before tommorrow. As JG said, it can be hard to know. I have now realized that naming is a no go here and that it seems to be only me preferring that approach as if ended up as a complete mess to say the least. For that, I am sorry. If you feel you experience me similarly, just tell me. I have no problem with being called out and I appreciate all critique.
JG: How would I have been able to speak up without naming? Saying "a few people are talking too much" is just a bit ridiculous. The other option is then tells which I personally feel are just counter productive. It forces the person on the defense (perhaps this did as well I guess). I planned on doing it, but was too afraid to - as I did now as you said - look bad. I also didn't manage to get a good window to speak.
Regardless, ground rules are needed for this. I don't know if they need to be so specific though. It's up to you.
I will be there tomorrow. I hope my presence doesn't cause any harm after this. I assure you that I will mostly listen.

There's no harm coming from raising a concern. That's the entire point of the meeting, after all and this is a very important point; if people feel like they cannot comfortably comment, whatever the reason, that's a big problem.
As for during a meeting, I don't think sending tells is counter-productive. If you really think that someone is speaking too much, just a quick tell going "Hey, I just wanted to say something. Do you think you could maybe give way next time you speak so I may?" In fact, it's not uncommon that the bigger speakers will notice other people wanting to speak (obviously this is easier to catch physically) and will go "Well actually, I think X wants to speak." There's also sending a message to the chair, whomever that may be, raising a concern that someone(s) is speaking too much. No-one messes with the chair, so that can work.
Yes, it can put people on the defensive, but I think only if it's phrased a certain way. Out-right saying "You're speaking too much, shut up!" (which I know no-one will say, just giving an example) will do that, but doing it in a "I'm concerned that I may not be able to speak and I feel what I have to say is very important" or something like that should be better; putting the emphasis on you, rather than them, will work better too. Whatever, there's lots of ways of phrasing it and various people contactable.
This isn't purely directed at you, Ride, merely a response to the points you bring up. This goes for everyone. If you do not feel you're being listened to, or that you have a point to bring up, you need to make that obvious in a way you think best. This whole thing is a learning experience and we'll get it right as we go along, much like organising the outfit itself, so there'll be some bumps along the way, but hopefully it'll be fine after another attempt or so.

There is a new soccer tradition at Epiphany.
For the second year in a row, the Lady Falcons defeated perennial conference powerhouse,

Heading into the second conference match of their season, the youthful Falcons' squad was confident, but weary of their rival's strong reputation as the defending conference champions.
"We came into the game ready to fight, and ready to play our game, not theirs," reflected Epiphany coach Greg Coverdale. "We have been working hard with this game in mind, and we were ready to compete from the first whistle until the last."

With the score tied at 0-0, Boone took a long shot attempt from the far right outside the 18-yard box. It soared over the Knight's goalkeeper and into the upper left corner of the goal, breaking the tie game and prompting the Falcons into joyous celebration.
"I am so proud of our performance, but this is only a start," said Coverdale, "We have to focus on the rest of the season and continue to play as a team in order to keep winning."

The Giro Savant Helmet blends authentic style and performance, with unmatched value. The Savant is an amazing fit for riders who enjoy great routes as much as a swift pace.
The Slim shape combines impressive ventilation thanks to 25 Wind Tunnel vents, and the comfortable convenience of the adjustable Roc Loc 5 fit and stability system. And with the light weight and durability of in-mold construction, it won't weigh you down.
Key Features:
In-Mold Construction: In-mold construction fuses a tough polycarbonate outer shell with the helmet's impact-absorbing foam liner. The fusion process allows us to sculpt better ventilation systems, so in-mold helmets can be lighter and cooler than traditional helmets.
Super Fit Engineering for Bike Helmet: A great helmet is so comfortable that once it's on, it virtually disappears.

Wind Tunnel Ventilation: Giro helmets are developed utilizing our proprietary Wind Tunnel ventilation system, which combines active vents with internal exhaust channels that thrust cool, fresh air over and around the riders head-while forcing heat and stale air out. This significant increase in air channelling makes a difference that riders will immediately feel and appreciate.
Helmets that are sold on Probikekit.com are certified with a European CE EN1078 standard. This is a European standard and although the helmet is perfectly safe to use, specific countries may have their own certification which is legally required if you intend to wear the helmet recreationally or in a competitive racing environment.

Help us restore Belize's stunning coral reef system
We're working to save the Mesoamerican Reef, the world's second largest
Tessa Dowell, ReefNews Inc.
The stunning Mesoamerican Reef is the largest barrier reef in the Atlantic Ocean, stretching for nearly 600 miles off Belize, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico.
Coastal communities depend on the reef and its fisheries for food and income, but today both are in significant decline due to overfishing, coastal development and climate change.
To solve the problem, EDF is using a groundbreaking approach that could serve as a key model for putting coastal fisheries throughout the developing world on a sustainable path.
Read about our work below, and then help us solve the problem by donating today.
What's gone wrong with the reef?
Belize's fisheries are in serious decline and have been for decades. Fisheries there have traditionally been "open access"—meaning nearly anyone could get a fishing license and catch unlimited amounts.
As more people have turned to fishing to support themselves, it has put unsustainable pressure on economically important fisheries.
Many fishermen say they now work an entire season to catch the same amount of lobster they once landed in a week. Belizean conch are also threatened by overfishing. This, in turn, has put enomous pressure on the entire reef system.
How we're restoring the reef
EDF has been working in Belize since 2009 to restore fisheries to health and abundance. Building on the strong partnerships we forged with Belizean fishermen, the government and local NGOs, in 2011 we launched an innovative fisheries management system that combines marine reserves with catch shares (called managed access in Belize).
This approach is already showing great promise as a way to help rebuild lobster and conch populations, increase fishermen's profits, and curb illegal fishing.
We still have a last chance in Belize. Catch shares is that option.Sonny GarbuttBelizean fisherman
We are beginning with pilot projects in two heavily fished locations, and at the Belize government's request, have already begun planning a national expansion to all lobster and conch fisheries.
Rewarding fishermen for being good stewards
The centerpiece of the new management system is called catch shares, a system of rights, responsibilities, and rewards that gives fishermen a financial incentive to fish more carefully and protect marine habitat—an incentive absent until recently.
Sustainable, science-based catch limits are set for commercially important species, and fishermen receive access rights to specific areas.
The majority of fishermen at pilot sites are complying with size limits and seasonal fishery closures and submitting all their catch data. This valuable information will help managers monitor fishery health and set ideal catch limits.
Launching the new model with our partners
The transformation in Belize has grown from collaborations that EDF worked for years to achieve.
With the Belize Fisheries Department, Toledo Institute for Development and Environment, and Wildlife Conservation Society, EDF is now launching the nation's first combined catch shares-marine reserves system in two vital fishing grounds—Glover's Reef Marine Reserve and Port Honduras Marine Reserve—using a design that all stakeholders helped create.
Several important components of the system are already in place; it will be fully operational by the end of 2013.
Under the new system, Belizean fishermen are for the first time actively participating in fisheries management—monitoring their catch to improve information on fishery health, assisting in enforcement, and verifying licenses.
As EDF helps build their capacity, fishermen are emerging as strong marine stewards. Their leadership is essential to successful small-scale fishery management because governments in developing nations often lack adequate resources.
Next steps: Beyond Belize
With your help, EDF will use our success to spread catch shares to the entire Mesoamerican Reef, and to other developing countries where limited governance and fisheries data are common problems.
This program will help fish rebound without marginalizing those who have fished for generations.Beverly WadeBelize Fisheries Administrator
Achieving success in Belize
- +70% 70% of fishermen report they are catching more fish.
- +80% 80% of fishermen also report an increase in compliance and enforcement.
How we're saving sea life
Our work in Belize is just one example of how we are restoring our oceans to abundance. See our plan to save the oceans.
