Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (CHADEMA) has strongly condemned the ruling party CCM for seeking to hijack the new constitutional review process.
Publicity Secretary John Mnyika told reporters in Dar es Salaam yesterday that Chadema seeks the recently explained CCM position as a way of denying the people their rights, while they currently are in need of political change.
In view of this, the party will unveil an awareness campaign starting with Dar es Salaam next Saturday so as to address the issue, and then take the campaign to the southern regions of Lindi and Mtwara from May 28 to June 11.
Mnyika declared that the CCM directives, being the ruling party do not augur well for allowing free opinion from the people, denying them the freedom to contribute views on the constitution making process.
According to Mnyika, public views must be gathered and given priority in the whole process of getting a new constitution, regardless of party affiliations.
Mnyika is on the view that CCM as a ruling party should not take overall control of the whole process, that it must leave the people to decide by contributing their views as the new constitution is pivotal in their future life.
He elaborated that the ruling party should have mobilized for the collection of people's views in the constitution making process by taking initiative with the community "instead of locking themselves up as they did in their recent meetings in Dodoma."
CHADEMA has also warned the ruling party for what they have done, terming the pronouncement as contrary to legal procedures of handling the matter, "as it has a great positive interest to the general public," the top Chadema official noted.
He declared that this is a preliminary weakness which the ruling party has shown and its failure to adhere to the strong commitment expressed for the writing of a new constitution "could yield poor results at the end."
In view of this, CHADEMA has requested the government to openly declare the second and third legal amendments to the constitutional review law a failure, that it cannot be implemented, in which case "the nation will get a new constitution without the changes so provided."
CHADEMA has also identified its priority areas in the Budget sitting of Parliament, which the publicity secretary said will concern economic, social and political issues in the country.
The main subject for the House will be inflation which has drastically hit people's lives in general, while government over expenditure in excess of government revenue is another subject, tied to galloping inflation.
The ruling party through the National Executive Committee (NEC) last week listed 12 sensitive areas in the current constitution which should not be a subject of dispute in the preparation of a new constitution.
CCM publicity secretary Nape Nnauye said CCM shall hand over the list to the National Constitutional Review Commission charged with collecting views on a new constitution, under the chairmanship of ex-Attorney General and retired prime minister, Judge Joseph Sinde Warioba.
Meanwhile, various stakeholders have offered different opinions towards the CCM recommendations of conducting public discussion on private candidacy and the right to question presidential results in court, for inclusion in a new constitution.
CCM on Thursday outlined 12 sensitive areas attracting controversy, where it itemized questioning presidential election results as well as accepting private candidacy as areas that can be discussed, unlike other areas it proposed they remain out of constitutional disputes.
William Kahale, an assistant coordinator of the Constitutional Forum of Tanzania said the CCM recommendations are significant because the issues are important for national cohesion.
He said that the presence of independent candidates and the right to question presidential results in court are vital issues to be included in the new constitution and activists have been struggling to that end, but surprisingly it is the ruling party that is now agreed on the two issues, which it had refused in past years.
"I am surprised to see CCM now living up to the spirit of a new constitution and asking for public discussion while the government prohibited discussion on the new constitution. It seems the party wants to rebuild its reputation as it has been facing various internal quarrels," he said.
CCM has now seen how popular power unfolds, that's why it seeks to build its image because at first the party didn't agree to the reforming of the constitution.
Dr Helen Kijo-Bisimba, executive director of the Legal and Human Rights Centre said the ruling party rejected independent candidacy and the right to question presidential election results in court for years, but now it is accepting those issues. "People need to ask themselves why, and go further."
"May be CCM fears to lose the presidential seat in the coming election andd it starts getting prepared to question presidential results in court if an opponent is declared the winner,"she said.
"CCM ideas are good but the truth is the party has never asked for those changes for years in the current constitution because CCM always came up as the winner. It now needs changes because there is a strong opposition," the noted activist added.

Another red wolf has been killed in Eastern Carolina.
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service says the latest death was reported last Friday, north of Creswell, near the Washington and Tyrrell county line. They believe the red wolf was shot.
This is the third death of the federally protected animal since September. Red wolves have also been found dead near Belhaven in Beaufort County on October 12th and another near Creswell on September 4th.
Killing a red wolf is a federal crime, punishable up to a year in prison and $100,000 in fines.
The feds are offering a reward up to $2,500 for information on all three deaths. All of the wolves were wearing radio-collars so their movement could be tracked.
The feds say after being nearly extinct, a re-population program now has about 100 red wolves roaming their native habitats in five counties in northeastern North Carolina.

text: Apple to announce tools, platform to 'digitally destroy' textbook publishing Technology 17 January 12 by Chris Forseman Flickr / cc-licensed spykster Apple is slated to announce the fruits of its labor on improving the use of technology in education at its special media event on Thursday, 19 January. While speculation has so far centered on digital textbooks, sources close to the matter have confirmed to Wired.co.uk sister site Ars Technica that Apple will announce tools to help create interactive e-books -- the " GarageBand for e-books," so to speak -- and expand its current platform to distribute them to iPhone and iPad users.Along with the details we were able to gather from our sources, we also spoke to two experts in the field of digital publishing to get a clearer picture of the significance of what Apple is planning to announce.So far, Apple has largely embraced the ePub 2 standard for its iBooks platform, though it has added a number of HTML5-based extensions to enable the inclusion of video and audio for some limited interaction. The recently-updated ePub 3 standard obviates the need for these proprietary extensions, which in some cases make iBook-formatted e-books incompatible with other e-reader platforms. Apple is expected to announce support for the ePub 3 standard for iBooks going forward.GarageBand for e-books At the same time, however, authoring standards-compliant e-books (despite some promises to the contrary) is not as simple as running a Word document of a manuscript through a filter. The current state of software tools continues to frustrate authors and publishers alike, with several authors apparently telling Ars that they wish Apple or some other vendor would make a simple app that makes the process as easy as creating a song in GarageBand.And Inkling CEO Matt MacInnis agrees that such a move would be very likely. MacInnis previously worked on education projects at Apple before leaving the company in 2009 to pursue his own ideas about creating interactive digital books. Inkling currently offers a variety of digital textbooks with interactive features, including the ability to share notes with classmates and instructors, via an iPad app."When you think about what Apple is doing... they are selling tens of thousands of iPads into K-12 institutions," MacInnis told Ars. "What are they doing with those iPads? They don't really replace textbooks, because there's not very much content on offer," he said.Don't expect that content to come directly from Apple, however. "Practically speaking, Apple does not want to get into the content publishing business," MacInnis said. Like the music and movie industries, Apple has instead built a distribution platform as well as hardware to consume it -- but Apple isn't a record label or production studio.But what Apple does provide is industry-leading tools for content production, such as Logic or Final Cut Pro, to help create content. The company also produces tools like GarageBand or iMovie that make such production accessible to a much wider audience. Will Apple launch a sort of GarageBand for e-books? "That's what we believe you're about to see," said MacInnis. "Publishing something to ePub is very similar to publishing web content. Remember iWeb? That iWeb code didn't just get flushed down the toilet -- I think you'll see some of [that code] repurposed." Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

oK, great game.....KU 35 - ISU 33
ISU never gave up, went toe to toe with a top 20 team in the country.
We keep getting better lets focus on positives, remember the boys and Coaches left it all out on the field today...
Wow... What a great game... 3rd quarter miscues get us again.
God, what a GREAT game by our players, leaving their hearts on the field. So close.
There are some big wins coming.
*sigh* that game was so winneable :arrgh:
Played a helluva first half, had some big plays in the 2nd half
Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State,
and may her colors ever fly!!!
In Accordance with Prophecy

Just one bad quarter...and maybe not getting a FG when we turned it over in the 2nd Q.
I like what AA did and Mahoney was great. I just hate losing.

win. Nobody consistently imposed their will. They didn;t quit, but they couldn't put more than half a game together ... again.
ugh ... cant stand loosing to fatgino .... thats my complaint for the day ....
Winners' Never Quit and Quitters' Never Win
and we are still Iowa State, land of playing close and losing.
good game clones..we showed alot of heart and many positives that came from the game. We showed we can hang with the top teams in the Big 12. Now we need to take the next step and play 4 quarters
Nice to see us play tough against a GOOD team. I think we win vs. Baylor and Nebraska. I know we blew a big lead but we didn't give up after we got down. A lot of young mistakes....lots of good things to come.

So... If it was a blowout would you say the same thing?
Great effort. I didn't think we would be one or two plays away from winning, so I am pleased overall.
Is it just that we don't quite have the horses on the DL and OL? Do you guys think the play calling was ok?
There are no moral victories here. The main reason the Cyclones lost was their red zone defense. Had one of the KU touchdowns been a field goal, this game could have been very different. They were a break not bend defense.
Go cyclones
Last post for me. Gotta walk down the hill, through the rain, and probably past some surprising grizzly bears to meet some students in the library.
Great game! This team has potential, and tons of heart. Only thing that gets us is the one we were afraid of before the season, with the inconsistency of inexperience. Experience comes with time.
This team, by all right, could have been 5-0. No one on our schedule is out of reach for us.
Huge thanks to all for keeping us updated! CycloneFanatic has been a real blessing for us today

Well, the current world I am working on is covered in ice and snow. Only a very small part of it is inhabitable. The people there don't really see the big picture. Their world is just this valley they live in and it ends once the eternal snow plains start. I like to think people mostly use names that are practical or logical. So my world is simply called The Valley
Nations are non-existant, but there are city states in the valley. Most of my cities have practical names again. A city founded in a large forest: Greenwood.
I certainly believe names mean something to people. Why do we name stuff otherwise? Depending on the world you are creating names could be very practical (like mine), inspired by religion or maybe even a lost empire.

Sensei Do-On Robert Thomas
Do-On Robert Thomas is a Zen Buddhist priest in the lineage of Rev. Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, author of the modern spiritual classic Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, and founder of the first Soto Zen Buddhist monastery outside of Asia, Tassajara Zen Mountain Center.
Robert's dharma name, given to him when he was ordained as a priest in 2000, is Shi-Zan Do-On (Lion Mountain, Path of Kindness). He has been practicing Zen Buddhism since 1993, and in 2008 he received "Dharma Transmission" from his teacher, Zoketsu Norman Fischer. From 1994 to 2000 he trained intensively as a Zen monk at Tassajara, practicing intimately with many Zen teachers (including Tenshin Reb Anderson, Zenkei Blanche Hartman, Shisan Edward Brown, Sojun Mel Weitsman, Ryushin Paul Haller and others).
He was ordained as a Zen priest in 2000 by Zoketsu Norman Fischer, and has enjoyed studying and practicing with a number of Tibetan and Theravadan Buddhist teachers.
Today, Robert leads Zen retreats and workshops, and gives public lectures throughout the year. The expression of his Buddhist practice in his teachings has been focused on helping people from all walks of life to realize the practical benefits of Zen practice and meditation (zazen), and extend the Zen mind, with its qualities of openness, clarity, and flexibility, into every moment of their life.
For many years Robert has been in a leadership role serving the San Francisco Zen Center (SFZC) sangha, one of the largest Buddhist communities outside of Asia, and since 2005 he has been the President and CEO, overseeing the administration of all three SFZC practice centers (Tassajara, Green Gulch Farm, and City Center), as well as guiding its mission of bringing the wisdom and compassion of the Buddha to the world.
Since 1993, Robert has traveled extensively in Asia, most often with his wife, Samantha Ostergaard, studying and practicing in the Theravadan and Tibetan Buddhist traditions, and at monasteries and practice centers in Thailand, India, Nepal, Burma, Laos, and Cambodia.
Robert's university training is in fine art and filmmaking, and he has had a career as a film/video director, a magazine editor/creative director, and a small business owner. He continues to draw as often as he can and enjoys watching movies. He loves to hike and run regularly, and also takes great pleasure in cooking and reading.

A new report from The Opportunity Agenda points out that favorable public opinion about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people of color is slowly growing among Blacks. The national communications, research and advocacy organization released "Public Opinion and Discourse on the Intersection of LGBT Issues and Race" in September. It examined Black and Latino newspapers, Black magazines and Black online media over a two-year period (2009-2011), and found several common themes. Among them:
• Black newspapers and online news sites consider LGBT issues newsworthy. • The six main storylines found in Black newspapers, with HIV/AIDS receiving the most attention, include: homophobia, bullying and discrimination, culture, tension between gay rights and civil rights, religion and same-sex marriage.

Always at the forefront of cultural trends, Vivienne Westwood is considered to be one of the most original and influential designers of our time.
Gentle parody of Establishment, a playful mix of British fabrics, sheer eccentricity and a keen curiosity is where Westwood delights and excels. Even the most hardened of Anglophiles went weak in the knees when Westwood and The Rug Company joined forces in 2005. Renowned for unique, handmade rugs and collaborating with great designers, the marriage of unconformity and Union Jack waving Englishness continues to enrapture legions of fans. Together The Rug Company and Westwood have created brilliant oversize magnolia blooms and the now infamous VW Flag in rich wool Aubusson. Westwood's tattered and tarnished Union Jack flag is unconventional "patriotism" at its best.
Westwood once said of her designs, "My aim is to make the poor look rich and the rich look poor." According to such logic, the Vivienne Westwood rugs, cushions and wallhangings look fabulously poor in every sense of the word.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) -- Seth Allen broke a tie by making two free throws with 2.8 seconds left, and Maryland stunned No. 2 Duke 83-81 Saturday night to end a six-game skid against its bitter rival.
As the final horn sounded, thousands of fans from the sellout crowd charged onto the court to celebrate the Terrapins' biggest victory of the season.
The Terrapins (18-7, 6-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) did not trail after halftime but never could pull away from the weary Blue Devils.
Duke (22-3, 9-3) trailed by 10 with 3:39 left but pulled even when Rasheed Sulaimon made three foul shots with 16.7 seconds to go. Quinn Cook then fouled Allen as the freshman guard drove through the lane, and Allen made both shots.
Alex Len had 19 points and nine rebounds for Maryland, and Allen scored 16.
Duke had its six-game winning streak end. Seth Curry scored 25 and Cook added 18.

Vol State Offers New Criminal Justice Fast-Track Technical Certificate
Submitted on December 06, 2010 at 11:50 AM
Criminal Justice is a hot job field and people are looking for an edge when applying for that first job. The new Criminal Justice Fast-Track Technical Certificate at Volunteer State Community College can give students what they need to get started in just one semester. For students who want to pursue a criminal justice degree, the technical certificate courses can be applied towards a two-year associate's degree.
"How do I get it done faster?" said Vol State criminal justice instructor Kevin Cook. "That's the kind of buzz you hear from students. This new certificate would be an enhancement tool in an interview situation. The applicant is going to be a much better candidate than someone with just a high school diploma."
The Fast-Track technical certificate program is one semester of intensive class work. It does provide for greater student support and counseling. The students attend classes three days a week, seven hours a day, as one group, and will stay together for the entire semester.
"There will be extra tutoring and support throughout the semester, not just available, but required if students are falling behind," Cook said.
Students who do not agree to the counseling and tutoring support can still take many of the classes as normal credit courses, just not in the Fast-Track format. The Fast-Track program makes it easier for students, by providing one-stop registration for the classes and ease in buying books. It also comes with one price tag: $1697.50 for in-state students, with another $450 estimated for books.
The first group will start the program in January for the spring semester. Registration is open now and new students will need to apply to the College first. For more information call 615-512-2218 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

JE104: The Mystery is History

On an island near Silver Rock Isle, Ash and co are reunited with their old friend Ritchie, who they haven't seen since the Indigo League. After they catch up, Ritchie tells them he's been on the lookout for the Mystery Pokémon of the Whirl Islands. They soon encounter a young boy named Oliver who was playing with an unusual Pokémon, a Lugia. However, it was much smaller and Oliver nicknamed it Silver. Eventually, they meet their old friend Luka, who takes them deep sea diving and find the child's parent. But are they the only ones interested in Lugia?
- This episode is part 11 of the 13 part Whirl Islands arc.
- Ash mentions encountering a Lugia in the Orange Islands during the events of Pokémon 2000.
- Meowth contradicts the Pokémon 2000 movie by saying "I've never seen a Pokémon like that", when he sees Silver, but he had been involved in the events surrounding the Lugia there. He may have been confused by the size difference between the Pokémon 2000 Lugia and the baby one here.
- Despite being a Legendary Pokémon, there are clearly multiple Lugias, as the adult one seen here is not the one encountered in Pokémon 2000. It is unknown if the movie Lugia could be related to, or even the other parent to, Silver.
- For the first time, Jessie and James wear the standard black Team Rocket uniforms instead of their apparently unique grey uniforms. They quickly switch back however.
- Somehow, Bayleef, Houndour and Hitmontop manage to have a battle on the open sea. They are not seen standing on the boat or submarines throughout.
- First time since Battle Aboard the St. Anne that Ash has battled a large group of Team Rocket Grunts and second time it has ever happened.
- First Team Rocket Story arch of the series.

When the Civil War erupted in 1861, Union and Confederate officers could never have predicted the role women would play in gathering information about the enemy. But as Northern and Southern women began providing critical intelligence on everything from the enemy's movements to its military strategy, both sides began to actively recruit them as operatives. Over the course of the war, hundreds of women acted as undercover agents, willing to risk their lives to help their cause.
From This Story
Related Content
One of the most effective was Union spy Elizabeth Van Lew—a prominent member of Richmond, Virginia, society. The 43-year-old lived with her widowed mother in a three-story mansion in the Confederate capital. Educated in the North, Van Lew took pride in her Richmond roots, but she fervently opposed slavery and secession, writing her thoughts in a secret diary she kept buried in her backyard and whose existence she would reveal only on her deathbed.
"She believed that Virginia's distinct and special role as the architect of the Union required it to do whatever it could to preserve and sustain the country," said historian Elizabeth Varon, author of Southern Lady, Yankee Spy. "But she always pretended to be a loyal Confederate."
As her wealthy neighbors celebrated Confederate victories, Van Lew quietly focused on helping the Union. Over the next four years she would send valuable intelligence to Union officers, provide food and medicine to prisoners of war and help plan their escapes, and run her own network of spies. "She is considered the most successful Federal spy of the war," said William Rasmussen, lead curator at the Virginia Historical Society.
These triumphs for the Union, however, would ultimately cost Van Lew not only her family fortune but also her place as a member of Richmond's social elite.
Libby Prison
Van Lew saw her first opportunity to help the Union after the Battle of Manassas in July 1861. Having no place to hold the Union prisoners pouring into Richmond, Confederates put them up in a tobacco warehouse. The now-infamous Libby Prison, as it was called, soon became known for its harsh conditions, where hundreds of men suffered from disease, hunger and despair.
Van Lew volunteered to become a nurse there, but her offer was rejected by the prison overseer, Lt. David H. Todd—the half-brother of Mary Todd Lincoln. Van Lew went over his head and used flattery and persistence to persuade Gen. John H. Winder to allow her and her mother to bring food, books and medicine to prisoners.
Van Lew and her mother were vehemently criticized for their efforts. The Richmond Enquirer wrote, "Two ladies, a mother and a daughter, living on Church Hill, have lately attracted public notice by their assiduous attentions to the Yankee prisoners…. these two women have been expending their opulent means in aiding and giving comfort to the miscreants who have invaded our sacred soil."
Threats of violence quickly followed. "I have had brave men shake their fingers in my face and say terrible things," she wrote. "We had threats of being driven away, threats of fire, and threats of death." The Richmond Dispatch wrote that if the Van Lews didn't stop their efforts, they would be "exposed and dealt with as alien enemies of the country."

In Blizzcon 2010's Quests and Lore panel, Chris Metzen revealed that the third named Old God, which is to be revealed in Cataclysm, will be called "Nezoth/Ni'zoth",[1] though its name was actually N'Zoth[2] and several people heard variations like N'Zath because the name was spoken and not written down officialy for awhile. N'Zoth appears to be an Old God which is still active. He seems to be related to the Faceless Ones.
This section concerns content exclusive to Cataclysm.
In a preview blog[2] for Patch 4.3, N'Zoth was explicitly mentioned by name as aiding Deathwing via his minion Warlord Zon'ozz who will appear as part of the Dragon Soul raid.
Speculation based on puzzle box
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.
In Cataclysm a new item was introduced, the [Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron]. The following quotes are some of the possible things the box says when you attempt to open it:
- In the land of Ny'alotha there is only sleep...
- In the sleeping city of Ny'alotha walk only mad things.
- Ny'alotha is a city of old, terrible, unnumbered crimes...
- The drowned god's heart is black ice...
- At the bottom of the ocean even light must die.
- Have you had the dream again? A black goat with seven eyes that watches from the outside.
- In the sunken city, he lays dreaming. (This may be a refrece to Vashj'Ir, due to the nature that some of it contains Highborn ruins...)
Ny'alotha may be the Emerald Nightmare, the core of pure evil, in the Emerald Dream. The box also says: "In the sleeping city of Ny'alotha walk only mad things." The mad things may be the unwaking people, victims of the Emerald Nightmare which are captured in the Emerald Dream, forced to stay there forever.
N'Zoth is likely the one who is truly responsible for the Emerald Nightmare, and not Xavius, who was merely a pawn of a greater evil, as stated in Stormrage.
The "drowned god" could be N'Zoth.
The first time the living were made aware of (what was presumably) N'Zoth's existence was when Malfurion Stormrage sensed something deep down within the Rift of Aln, which he called 'an ancient evil'.[3]
N'Zoth was probably also the Old God that drove Neltharion to the brink of insanity.
N'Zoth's form is still unknown, yet we can assume that he has tentacles, like the other Old Gods.
- The whispers of the Puzzlebox draw parallels to the Cthulhu mythos of H. P. Lovecraft. The term 'sunken city' might refer to R'lyeh, also from Lovecraft's works.
- "N'zoth" is the name of a planet in the Star Wars universe.

Young Africans title retention bid came to a shuddering halt yesterday as the team has been striped of three points and as many goals following a technical blunder of fielding suspended defender Nadir Haroub on their return leg match against Coastal Union played at the Mkwakwani Stadium in Tanga last Saturday.
The Mainland premiership league committee that had its session on Monday evening came into the decision after working on an appeal lodged by Coastal Union.
Coastal Union lost the match played at their home base by a lone goal but played under protest against fielding of the player.
Haroub was slapped a straight red card during a pitch violence in Yanga's match against Azam FC played at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam on March 10.
During the match, Yanga players conceded more than five cards to lead the club into one million shillings fine.
Coastal Union officials had queried the inclusion of the Yanga lynchpin defender right from the line up presented by the title holders during the pre-match meeting.
However, Yanga officials and their coach were adamant on holding Haroub and the player was in the starting line-up.
The three points' loss has given Yanga a heavy blow to retain the Mainland title with five matches in hand.
Yanga are now seven points adrift of pace makers Simba and four below second placed Azam FC.
Yanga officials fielded Haroub with a confidence from the chairman of the Appeals and Reconciliation Committee, Alfred Tibaigana, who played a big role to lift Yanga players' suspension resulting from the pitch violence during the Match 10 encounter against Azam.
This is the first case for a reputable team like Yanga to be stripped of points resulting from technical blunders related to poor statistics of cards slapped to their players.
Simba had suffered such a blow during a league game in the 80s when they fielded controversial player Francis Mwikalo against Coastal Union.
Mwikalo's transfer was incomplete but adamant Simba officials by then under secretary general Jimmy Ngonya played down the complaints that proved costly thereafter.
Following the decision to strip off Yanga the precious points, title chase has now been tight between Simba and Azam.

Fungal arthritis is infection of a joint by a fungus.
Mycotic arthritis
Fungal arthritis, also called mycotic arthritis, is a rare condition. This disease can be caused by any of the invasive types of fungi. These organisms may affect bone or joint tissue. One or more joints may be affected, most often the large, weight-bearing joints, especially the knees.
Conditions that can cause fungal arthritis include:
The infection sometimes occurs as a result of an infection in another organ such as the lungs, and tends to get worse very slowly. The large joints are most often affected. People with weakened immune systems who travel or live in endemic areas are more susceptible to most causes of fungal arthritis.
For exserohilum rostratum arthritis, the major risk factor is injection with contaminated steroid vials.
The goal of treatment is to cure the infection using antifungal drugs. The most commonly used antifungal drugs are amphotericin B or medications in the azole family (fluconazole, ketoconazole, or itraconazole).
Chronic or advanced bone or joint infection may require surgery (debridement) to remove the infected tissue.
What happens depends on the underlying cause of the infection and the patient's overall health. A weakened immune system, cancer, and certain medications can affect the outcome.
Joint damage can occur if the infection is not treated right away.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have any symptoms of fungal arthritis.
Thorough treatment of fungal infections elsewhere in the body may help prevent fungal arthritis.

As of February 2010, a tests folder has been added to the Joomla! SVN download. This folder contains a growing library of unit and system (or functional) tests. The unit tests use PHPUnit and the system tests use PHPUnit and Selenium. The unit tests perform tests primarily on the Joomla! framework. The Selenium system tests actually run Joomla! from a browser and test it as a user would.
Before you can run the tests, you need to install some programs on your local workstation, as documented below. This document explains how to run the these tests from your local workstation.
Install PHPUnit
Both the unit and functional tests rely on PHPUnit. PHPUnit is a testing framework that requires PHP to be installed on the local workstation. XAMP / WAMP users can use the PHP installation that comes with them. Otherwise, you may need to install PHP, and the PEAR package, on your local workstation. More detailed instructions can be found at http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.php.
On most PHP installations, PNPUnit can be installed using the standard PEAR installation process.
For example, on XAMPP version 1.7.3 on Windows, you would do the following commands:
cd c:\xampp\php
pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com
pear install phpunit/PHPUnit
If you get error about PEAR version too low, run:
pear upgrade pear
and repeat
pear install phpunit/PHPUnit . Windows users not using WAMP or XAMPP can use the same procedure, with substituting the location of your PHP installation for
cd c:\xampp\php.
In Ubuntu Linux, use the following commands to install PHPUnit:
$sudo pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
$sudo pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com
$sudo pear install phpunit/PHPUnit
More detailed instructions can be found here: http://www.phpunit.de/manual/3.0/en/installation.html.
Running Unit Tests
Once PHPUnit is installed, you can run the unit tests. To run a unit test from the command line:
- Change to the folder
<joomla root>/tests/unit
- Execute the command
phpunit <test name or folder>
For example, to execute the test called "tests\unit\suite\libraries\joomla\utilities\JStringTest.php", you would type the command
phpunit tests\unit\suite\libraries\joomla\utilities\JStringTest.php
When you run this, you will see output similar to the following:
C:\xampp\htdocs\joomla_development\j16_trunk\tests\unit>phpunit suite\libraries\ joomla\utilities\jstringtest.php PHPUnit 3.4.11 by Sebastian Bergmann. ............................................................ 60 / 89 ............................. Time: 26 seconds, Memory: 7.00Mb OK (89 tests, 89 assertions)
The dots indicate a successful test. If you have errors or failures, they will show as "E" or "F" letters and a detailed message for each will show.
You can execute all of the tests in a folder by specifying a folder instead of a file. For example, to run all of the tests in the folder "tests\unit\suite\libraries\joomla\utilities", you would enter
phpunit tests\unit\suite\libraries\joomla\utilities
This command will produce output similar to that shown below:
C:\xampp\htdocs\joomla_development\j16_trunk\tests\unit>phpunit suite\libraries\ joomla\utilities PHPUnit 3.4.11 by Sebastian Bergmann. ............................................................ 60 / 317 ............................................................ 120 / 317 ............................................................ 180 / 317 ............................................................ 240 / 317 ............................................................ 300 / 317 ...FFFF.......... Time: 27 seconds, Memory: 11.00Mb There were 4 failures: 1) JUtilityTest::testGetHash Failed asserting that two strings are equal. --- Expected +++ Actual @@ @@ -ce114e4501d2f4e2dcea3e17b546f339 +0cbc6611f5540bd0809a388dc95a615b 2) JUtilityTest::testGetToken with data set "default" (NULL, false) Failed asserting that <string:adca734617ce829cc979492d6d037416> matches expected <boolean:false>. 3) JUtilityTest::testGetToken with data set "false" (false, false) Failed asserting that <string:adca734617ce829cc979492d6d037416> matches expected <boolean:false>. 4) JUtilityTest::testGetToken with data set "true" (true, true) Expectation failed for method name is equal to <string:getFormToken> when invoke d 1 time(s). Method was expected to be called 1 times, actually called 0 times. FAILURES! Tests: 317, Assertions: 361, Failures: 4.
In this case, we have 4 test failures with details about each.
System Tests
Before you can run the system tests, you need to install and set up the Selenium RC package and configure your test environment, as shown below.
Install Selenium RC
Selenium RC is the package that allows you to run Selenium tests from PHP or other programming languages. To install it, just go to the Selenium site http://seleniumhq.org/projects/remote-control and download the package. Then unzip the file into a folder.
For example, in Windows if you create a folder called
C:\selenium and unzip this file there, it will create a folder called selenium-server-1.0.1. In that folder, create a Windows bat file (such as selenium.bat though the name does not matter) or Linux shell script that runs the following command:
java -jar selenium-server.jar -browserSessionReuse
If the Java executable is not on your path, then you will need to indicate the full path to it, like the following:
c:\program files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -jar selenium-server.jar -browserSessionReuse
Note the argument
browserSessionReuse is used to allow you to run multiple tests without closing and re-opening the browser each time. Save this file so you can easily find and execute it when needed.
This program needs to be running in the background before you can run any Selenium functional tests.
If You are using Firefox 3.6.x you will run in problems with this configuration. Check out this link: http://www.qaautomation.net/?p=15 how to get it working on Firefox 3.6.x.
Create a Selenium Configuration File
To run the Selenium tests, we have to tell Selenium how to navigate and login to your local Joomla! installation. This is done by creating a PHP file called
configdef.php. The Joomla! download includes a file called
tests/system/servers/config-def.php-dist. This is a sample file that you can use to create the real file. Copy this file to a file called
tests/system/servers/configdef.php and edit it to reflect your test systems configuration. There are comments in the file that tell you how to do this.
Run the System Test Suite
At this point, we are ready to actually run the tests. There are two steps to running a test. First, you need to make sure the Selenium RC process is running in the background. To do this, just execute the command (bat file or shell script) you created when you installed Selenium RC. This will continue to run until you cancel it.
Once Selenium RC is running, you need to execute the functional tests. There are several ways you can do this.
To run all tests from the command line in Windows, change to the
tests/system folder and run the following command (the phpunit.bat file comes from the PHPUnit installation):
phpunit.bat --bootstrap servers\configdef.php suite\TestSuite.php
In Linux, the command is:
phpunit --bootstrap servers/configdef.php suite/TestSuite.php
This will run all of the tests in the TestSuite.php file. You should see a series of messages display in the console telling you what tests are being run and what the tests are doing. You should also see two browser windows open. One will display Selenium commands that are being executed. The other will show the Joomla! website and the various screens that are being opened and closed as the tests are run.
The tests will run for a few minutes, depending on the speed of your system. When they are done, you will get a summary display showing how many tests were run and whether there were errors or failures. If there are errors or failures, the line of code from the test program that generated the error or failure will also show.
An error occurs when the test encounters an actual PHP error. A failure occurs when the test gets a result that is different than expected.
- Make sure you run the tests on a clean database that has been installed with sample data. If you have made database changes, you should re-install Joomla! or otherwise put the database back to it's original post-installed state.
- If you find errors or failures when you run the tests, you can run the tests against the Joomla! trunk to see if the problems are in trunk or just in your branch.
- If you maintain more than one local Joomla! project (for example, one for trunk, another for a branch), you will need to make sure to have a configdef.php file for each that has the right path and login information. You can watch the browser window while the tests are running to make sure you are testing the URL that you expect.
Eclipse Users
In Eclipse, you can set up Debug and External Tools launch configurations that make it easy to debug or run unit and system tests.
Run a Unit Test
You can create an External Tools launch configuration that lets you run any unit test simply by pointing to the test file and pressing the Run button. Here are the steps:
- Open the Run→External Tools→External Tools Configuration menu and press the button labeled "New Launch Configuration".
- Enter a descriptive name, such as "Run Selected Unit Test".
- Enter the location that points to your phpunit.bat file (for example,
- Set the Working Directory to
- Set the arguments to
c:\xampp\php\phpunit --verbose "${resource_loc}".
This is shown in the screenshot below.
To run a unit test:
- Select a unit test, either by selecting it in the PHP Explorer view or in the edit area of Eclipse.
- Run the External Launch configuration by selecting it from the drop-down list next to the External Launch Configuration button in the toolbar (shown below).
Note that a test might normally take a 30-60 seconds to run. The output of the test will show in the Eclipse console.
Run All Tests in a Folder
You can run all of the unit tests in a folder using this same launch configuration. Just select a folder instead of a test file and all of the unit tests in that folder will run.
Setting Up For Debugging
Make Sure XDebug is Installed
As you would expect, XDebug must be installed and configured for use with Eclipse. See Setting_up_your_workstation_for_Joomla!_development#Edit_PHP.INI_File for detailed instructions.
Add PEAR Library to Workspace
Before you can debug a unit or system test, you have to add the PEAR library to your project or workspace. In this example, we will add PEAR to our workspace. That way, all projects will automatically have access to PHPUnit.
Here are the steps:
- Select Window→Preferences→PHP→PHP Libraries.
- Press the New button and add PEAR as shown below. Be sure to press the checkbox labeled "Add to environment".
- Press OK, then press the Add External folder button and browse to your PEAR folder, as shown below. In this example, the folder is in
- Press OK and the screen should show the external folder, as shown below, with the correct file path for your workstation.
Configure the PHP Executable
Normally, you will want to debug unit and system tests as PHP scripts (as opposed to web pages). Before you can do this, you need to configure a PHP Executable in Eclipse. This is done as follows:
- Select Window→Preferences→PHP→PHP Executables. The screen below will show.
- Press Add and complete the screen as shown below, substituting the correct file paths for your workstation.
At this point, your workstation is set up for PHPUnit debugging. Now you just have to create the debug configurations as shown in the next section.
Debug a Single Unit Test
Once you have PEAR added to your libraries, it is easy to set up a debug configuration that allows you to debug any unit test. Here are the steps:
- Press the drop-down arrow next to the Debug button and select Debug Configurations from the menu, as shown below.
- Fill out the PHP Script tab of the Debug Configurations as shown below.
- Name: a descriptive name like "Debug Selected Unit Test"
- PHP Debugger: XDebug
- PHP Executable: The one you set up earlier (there will only be one)
- PHP File: Use the Browse button to browse to the phpunit.php file in your
- Select the PHP Script Arguments tab and enter --verbose ${selected_resource_loc} as shown below.
- The "--verbose" option allows you to see more details when the tests are run.
- The "${selected_resource_loc}" passes the currently selected file at runtime, so you can use this configuration just by selecting the desired file and then running it.
- Finally, select the Common tab and check the Debug checkbox under "Display in favorites menu", as shown below.
At this point, you are ready to debug any unit test. All you need to do is:
- Select the desired test file either in the PHP Explorer view or in the editor.
- Select Debug Configurations from the Debug drop-down button and select the "Debug Selected Unit Test" option. Once you have run this once, it will show on your Debug favorites menu.
Run a Single System Test
You can create a configuration to make it easy to run any single test in your project. To do this:
- Open the Run→External Tools→External Tools Configuration menu and press the button labeled "New Launch Configuration"
- Enter the location that points to your phpunit.bat file (for example,
c:\xampp\php\phpunit.bat). On Linux systems, this might be called "phpunit".
- Set the Working Directory to
- Set the arguments to
--bootstrap servers/configdef.php ${selected_resource_loc}.
This is shown in the screenshot below.
To use this configuration,
- Make sure the Selenium RC process is running (for example, by running the "selenium.bat" file you created when you installed Selenium RC earlier)
- Select the desired test file by clicking on it in the PHP Explorer view or in the edit area
- Start this launch configuration
The selected test file will be run and you will see the browser session open and run the test script. The test results will be reported in the Eclipse console.
Debug a Single System Test
The steps for creating a Debug Configuration for a Selenium system test are similar to those for the unit test.
- Open Debug Configurations from the drop-down menu next to the Debug Button on the toolbar, as shown below.
- Press the "New launch configuration" button, as shown below.
- Fill out the Debug Configurations dialog box as shown below:
- Name: A descriptive name for the configuration, like "Debug Selected System Test".
- PHP Debugger: XDebug
- PHP Executable: The one you defined earlier (there probably is only one).
- PHP File: Browse to the phpunit.php file in your
- Select the PHP Script arguments and fill this out as shown below.
- --bootstrap servers/configdef.php points to the configuration file that passes the login information to Selenium.
- "${selected_resource_loc}" passes the location of the currently selected file in Eclipse to the command line.
- Finally, select the Common tab and check the Debug option in the Display in favorites menu. This will add this configuration to your favorites.
At this point, you can debug any system test. To do so:
- Make sure the Selenium RC program is running in the background.
- Select the desired test by selecting it in the PHP Explorer or in the editor.
- Run this Debug Configuration by selecting the drop-down arrow next to the Debug button, then Debug Configurations, then the "Debug Selected System Test" configuration created above.
Run the System Test Suite
To create a launch configuration to run the Test Suite of the currently-selected Eclipse project:
- Enter the location that points to your phpunit.bat file. If you are running Linux, this file might be called phpunit.
- Set the Working Directory to
- Set the arguments to
--bootstrap servers/configdef.php suite/TestSuite.php.
This is shown in the screenshot below.
The console output will show in the Eclipse console. Note that you still need to have the Selenium RC program running in the background first, before running the suite. Note that you need to select a file in the current project before running this command so the
{project_loc} variable is set correctly.
