great price.
Another "cheap" lab is Samy's in Santa Barbara, CA. They do 8X10 E-6 for $5/sheet. They happily take mail order.
currently their website is down, but here's the link to their pricing page so when it gets back up, you can gander at it:

I'm not looking cheap. I worked in some photo labs. Just cost. I've had Mike do 120 & 220 stuff in the past. I know he can do up to 16 x 20 E-6. Just did not know the cost at other labs.
AgX's Story
AgX Imaging is a photographic services business with our sole goal focused on the production of the finest photographic images possible utilizing present day technology. It is a simple statement that requires non-stop attention to all details. Sometimes it is a search for the newest technological advancements and other times it is the realization that the tried and true techniques of the past are still the best.
The name, AgX, symbolizes our scientific approach to consistently producing the finest quality images possible. "Ag" is the chemical symbol for silver and "X" refers to a halide or salt such as bromide or chloride. Combined, silver bromide and silver chloride are both light sensitive compounds used in chemical based imaging systems more commonly referred to as traditional photographic film and paper.
Though we are continuously adapting and incorporating new digital imaging solutions into our business will still remain committed to processing all E-6 films utilizing our state-of-the-art Refrema "Daylight" film processor. In addition we provide film to digital conversion of existing film images with the use of film Hasselblad Drum Scanners.
We have been in business since the summer of 1997. We started with six customers and have grown the business to now service more than seven hundred in North America. We also service European customers while they photograph here in North America. As the photographic industry continues to change we have continued to service and support industries that either still use film or have a need to convert large image libraries such as museums and historical societies to digital files.

by "cheap" I didn't mean quality-wise.
I meant price. But since I now shoot 4x5 and 8x10 primarily, AGX's pricing seems better anyhow :). Just wish they could do c-41, cause I still have a buttload to use up before going all e-6.

Edgar Praus does it all very well, C41, E6, custom B&W, not the least expensive but better than the big city prices... http://WWW.4photolab.com. I think you get what you pay for with labs....

I've had excellent service from Praus to.
24-Mar-2011, 19:16
A small consideration that I have for shooting black and white is that I develop my own film, and saves me A LOT on precessing. Last time I did colour 8x10 it was about $9/sheet to process, and I think E-6 is more than that. I couldn't afford this hobby if I shot colour!

FCC Fines Google, Says It Was Deliberately Impeding Street View Investigation
The Federal Communications Commission is going after Google, even though they've officially cleared the company of charges that it had collected WiFi data illegally with its Street View Cars. While they didn't do that on purpose, the FCC says Google was deliberately obstructing the investigation into those charges.
They're fining Google $25,000 for not helping regulators deal with the matter, says the Washington Post.
"For many months, Google deliberately impeded and delayed the Bureau's investigation by failing to respond to requests for material information and to provide certifications and verifications of its responses," the filing said.
Google had claimed that the data collection was accidental, and has been investigated in other countries outside the U.S., including Canada, France and the Netherlands.
Google, obviously, disagrees with the FCC's filing.
"As the FCC notes in their report, we provided all the materials the regulators felt they needed to conclude their investigation and we were not found to have violated any laws," a Google spokesman said in a statement. "We disagree with the FCC's characterization of our cooperation in their investigation and will be filing a response."

I have gotten into nail polish lately – not that I have a choice, since my nails were badly stained by Barry M's Nail Polish in Pink Flamingo!
I love that nail polish – the colour is gorgeous! But it stained my names so bad – I have never had this before:
Ewwww! I used my favourite base coat underneath, CND's Stickey so I can't understand how this happened other than that there is some stellar pigment in Pink Flamingo.
I've been going over it with other colours to stop myself looking like a smoker. Yak.
Any tips for getting rid of yellow nails?

Full Description
Stand half as tall as a man at the shoulder and as heavy as a small horse, dire swine are animals not to be triffled with. They are covered with coarse, wiry hair that generally thins as the swine age. Most come in shades of brown, though black, gray, red, and white are not uncommon. The head is large and the jaw well equiped for consuming plant matter, roots, nuts, and the ocassional animal that crosses their path wrong. Male swine grow tusks as long as a man's hand and both genders have thick and very durable skulls.
The Beast of the Fold
Dire Swine are most commonly found in tropical and semi-tropical forests where they are foragers, eating insects, fruits, nuts, and the roots of various plants. In some cases, the swine will hunt and kill living prey to add protein to their diet though this is rare outside of lean food times. Druids, rangers, and Elves are able to communicate in a limited fashion with dire swine, though the porcine behemoths can be ill-tempered and as dangerous as wolves when provoked.
Attempts have been made to domesticate the large and robust dire swine to human use, but all have failed. By nature, the swine are solitary or travel in small family groups. In rare circumstances, herd, or sounders will form, but this is dangerous as when this occurs the swine are much more predisposed to hunting rather than foraging. Magical means can be used to 'control' a dire pig, but such efforts are seldom worth the cost of the magics used.
As mentioned above, a druid, ranger, or elf of the forest can take a solitary dire pig as a companion much as a wizard takes a familiar but there is no innate magical bond formed, merely a sympathetic understanding of nature.
Plot Hooks
Amok, Amok, Amok - A village has become the target of a larger and aggressive sounder of dire swine. The fields have been devastated and some livestock has been killed. The peasants cower in their huts never knowing if the swine will upon them dine. The PCs must deal with 20 to 30 dire swine, be it combating them, luring them away, or some other method. A great idea for a low level party.
The Green Druid
As above, the village is being assaulted by dire swine, but the cause is a radical druid who wants the village gone as it is, in his opinion, too close to a sacred grove. The PCs must face not only the giant swine, but also a armed and dangerous druid who has been in the green a bit too long.
Breakfast of Champions
One night, as the PCs fail to set up a watch, a few dire swine meander into their camp. The PCs awaken to find the swine rooting through their packs, muching on the grain and other special feed for their horses and anything else the pigs might think tasty. If the PCs dont over-react, the swine will move on and cause no more problems. If they shout, the largest of the swine, the male, will become angry and start attacking the noise-makers.

Redskins' Robert Griffin III tweets knee is cleared for practice
Robert Griffin III insisted when the Washington Redskins broke minicamp in June he'd be ready to take snaps with the first team from the start of training camp in Richmond, Va., Thursday.
Well, Griffin and Redskins Nation received the best possible news Monday when team doctors, including renowned orthopedist James Andrews cleared Griffin to return to practice little more than six months after he underwent reconstructive surgery on his shredded right anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments Jan. 9.
Griffin's father, Robert Griffin II, texted to USA TODAY Sports: "Robert is happy regarding his hard work (paying off)."
Earlier in the morning, RG3 tweeted: "Doctors cleared me to practice. Coach is going to ease me in. Thank you for your support & See you in Richmond."
It has to be a rewarding feeling for Griffin after all the work he put in during his rehabilitation in Pensacola, Fla., at the Andrews Institute following the surgery and at team headquarters in Ashburn, Va. His recovery seems to be mirroring that of 2012 league MVP Adrian Petterson's seemingly superhuman comeback from a torn ACL suffered Dec. 24, 2011.
Peterson was held back during the first two weeks of Minnesota Vikings training camp last summer and listed on the team's physically unable to perform list, which prevents a player from participating in any team drills with teammates.
Redskins coach Mike Shanahan told USA TODAY Sports in June that Griffin would be back on the field only after doctors cleared him and Shanahan was convinced his knee was full go.
Now RG3 seems well on his way to reaching his ultimate goal — starting in the Redskins' Sept. 9 season opener on Monday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles.

OCEAN CITY – Convicted killer Benjamin Sifrit, who along with his wife Erika, brutally murdered and dismembered a Virginia couple vacationing in Ocean City on Memorial Day weekend in 2002, this week renewed his bid for a new trial, alleging prosecutors used inconsistent theories of the crimes in the separate trials of he and his wife.
After exhausting an appeal process based on the claim his defense counsel was ineffective during his 2003 trial, Benjamin Sifrit has embarked on a different tack to get his conviction reversed and gain a new trial. In September, Sifrit filed in U.S. District Court a writ for habeas corpus against the Maryland Attorney General and the warden of the facility where he is serving a 30-year sentence for the crime essentially alleging he is being held illegally and should be given a new trial because prosecutors presented inconsistent theories against he and his wife in their separate trials in 2003.
In March, the state's attorney general filed a response to Sifrit's motion for a new trial, asserting prosecutors used the same basic evidence in the separate trials and the convictions should be upheld. This week, however, Benjamin Sifrit filed a formal answer, reasserting he should be granted a new trial because prosecutors tailored the evidence and selected testimony in the different trials in order to gain convictions for both he and his wife.
"In each trial, the government put forth evidence and argued that the defendant on trial was the shooter while the other defendant was present but had minimal involvement in the crime," the petition for a new trial reads. "As such, the inconsistencies could not have been more central to the government's case and violated the petitioner's right to due process."
Acccording to the petition, at each of the trials, the state presented evidence implicating the individual on trial while omitting evidence that implicated the defendant not on trial.
"The inconsistency was not a mere difference in interpretation of the same evidence," the complaint reads. "The state selectively presented different evidence to support its theory in each case that the defendant then on trial was far more, if not solely responsible for the crimes. … Benjamin Sifrit claims he is being detained in state custody illegally and in support asserts that his right to due process was violated when the state presented materially inconsistent theories at his trial and at the trial of his wife, Erika Sifrit. At Mr. Sifrit's trial, the state argued he killed the two victims and was in control of the events surrounding the victims' deaths. At the subsequent trial of Erika Sifrit, the state argued Erika killed the two victims."

Poltergeist is the worst horror flick of the decade!
While there are exceptional directors like David Robert Mitchell (It Follows), The Conjuring (James Wan) and Jennifer Kent (The Babadook) offering us out-of-the world horror movies in a platter of terror blended with high quality direction, there stands Gil Kenan crapping all over its concept, doing the exact opposite.
If Poltergeist was supposed to be a reboot, then Gil missed the target by a light year. If not, he still failed to make a good movie by another light year. What is sad is the fact that its direction simply takes everything with it into the netherworld. Its stupidity swallows great actors like Sam Rockwell, Jared Harris and Rosemarie DeWitt, and makes them look mediocre.
There are so many instances in the movie that would compel you to go, "Really?" and "Is this for real?" and sometimes "Where is everybody?" The horror isn't given enough time to sieve in and it keeps trudging on your head like a pointless parade with no direction or meaning.
If I try really hard to look on the bright side, I could only remember the cute little Kennedi Clements who manages to melt you with her sweet voice and cute acts. She is downright adorable. Amongst other things, you could say the graphics and visuals looked rad particularly when the cast witnesses the creepy diabolical world that homes in their closet. Apart from that I think everything was sheer pathetic.
One of the wisest decisions of your life would be to skip this one!

So you want to go to space. You could wait indefinitely for Virgin to finish its project that will ferry people to the moon. You could save up your pennies to colonize Elon Musk's future mars settlement. Or you could just say screw it and build your own damn spacecraft—like the guys behind Copenhagen Suborbitals, an open-source space flight project in Denmark.
Copenhagen Suborbitals' goal is (as you might have guessed) a suborbital launch, meaning that the rocket will go to space, but it won't actually complete an orbital revolution. The amazing thing is they're using materials you could find at your local hardware or department store to build rockets. For example, in one test, they used a hair dryer to keep the rocket's valves from freezing. Suborbitals has done two tests of its Tycho Brahe rocket. The first failed. The second launched, but only made it 1.7 miles high. But they haven't stopped trying. And if they succeed, Denmark will suddenly be only the fourth country to send a rocket to space. Let's hope they do it. [Motherboard]

Chiefs Had Been Providing Counseling to Belcher Before Suicide
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Police say the Kansas City Chiefs had been providing counseling to linebacker Jovan Belcher and his girlfriend before he killed her and committed suicide over the weekend.
Police Sgt. Richard Sharp told The Kansas City Star that the couple had been arguing over relationship and financial issues for months and that the team had been "bending over backward" trying to help them.
Belcher fatally shot 22-year-old Kasandra Perkins at their Kansas City home Saturday before shooting himself in the head in the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot in front of team officials who were trying to stop him, including general manager Scott Pioli and head coach Romeo Crennel.
Sharp says Belcher reportedly thanked the men for their help but said "it was too late" before he killed himself.

In the wake of the attack on Sony's PlayStation Network, lots of people will be cancelling their credit cards. Just in case. That won't cost Sony a cent, but boy will it cost the banks.
It's estimated that, with the little slivers of plastic costing banks $3-$5 to replace, if large numbers of PlayStation Network account holders do the safe thing and cancel their cards it could cost international banks up to $300 million.
There will also be money lost while cards are being replaced as, without cards, the bank's customers won't be buying anything on them, hitting their back pockets even more.
Not that this will upset any of you, since these are banks we're talking about. Indeed, I'd imagine it may - red tape aside - convince more of you to cancel than would have otherwise been the case!
UPDATE 4-Sony breach could cost card lenders $300 mln [Reuters]

In two weeks I'll be in Pittsburgh, at LaRoche College for GRIP (Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh). Since I'm a list-maker, my lists are started.
Don't forget:
THE BOOK!!...Mastering Genealogical Proof by Dr. Thomas W Jones
ethernet cable - for the room
hair dryer - this isn't a hotel
body wash and hand soap - again this isn't a hotel
drinking glass
umbrella and/or rain jacket - the Pittsburgh weather is a little different from Phoenix weather
dressing in layers - who knows whether the classrooms will be hot or cold
business cards
computer power cord and extension cord
So, what am I forgetting?
Oh, yes. A list of books I already have so I can shop at Maia's books
the normal clothes, toiletries, etc.
cell phone charger
Now I need to get back to reading the two articles in THE BOOK
I'm looking forward to the week: from the classroom, to the cafeteria, to the evening programs and especially to the people I'll meet, or meet again.

Guide to Customer Centricity: Analytics and Advice for B2B Leaders
How to accelerate your growth by listening to and acting on the voice of your customers.
Companies aren't growing—so they're acquiring their competitors.
However, there's often as much or more growth potential in customer strategies. Gallup finds only 29% of your B2B customers are engaged, with the remaining 71% either indifferent or actively disengaged. That means there are hundreds of millions of dollars of lost growth within your B2B customer base.
You don't have to bust the bank to get the most out of your existing B2B customers. You just need the right analytics and advice.
Jim Clifton,
Chairman & CEO
of B2B customers are not engaged
Gallup data show that20%

B2B customers with high customer engagement scores achieve:50%
Higher Revenue/Sales34%
Higher Profitability55%
Higher Share of Wallet
B2B companies across all industries are at risk of being replaced—not because of their products or prices, but because they are failing their customers.
Gallup's Guide to Customer Centricity: Analytics and Advice for B2B Leaders is a road map for leaders who want to accelerate their growth and create a competitive advantage by putting their customers at the center of everything.

One of the long-running complaints about the iPhone is that it's terrible for making phone calls.
With the iPhone 5 Apple has managed to fix this problem.
I got the iPhone 5 on Verizon and the call quality was unbelievably great. I called my parents from my apartment last night using the iPhone 5. The call clarity was better than the Time Warner Cable land line I have in my apartment.
I've been on an AT&T iPhone since 2008. I've dealt with dropped calls and terrible reception for the last four years. Thankfully, that's all over.
In case you're wondering if it's Verizon's network that makes the iPhone 5 better for calls, I asked a friend with an iPhone 5 on AT&T about his call quality. He says the calls are clearer, but it's not a night and day difference like what I noticed.
So, it looks like if you value making phone calls with your iPhone, the Verizon iPhone 5 is the way to go.

Maybe we're being too picky.
After all, the U.S. Open has had many of the things we love about major golf. It has a classic course, Bethpage Black, that manages to be both beautiful and utterly diabolical in the way it treats even professional golfers. It has a rowdy crowd, whose cheers and taunts have kept the proceedings lively. And it has surprise stories, unknowns rising from obscurity and stealing a chance at their first major title.
Even with all of that, though, it's hard to escape the feeling that this U.S. Open has been pretty disappointing. This is coming from us; we spent almost all of our Sunday watching the Open, and we loved it. But the casual golf fans among us? They have to be tuning out.
The first symptom was the rain. Rain delayed much of the opening rounds, pushing round two to Saturday and round three to Sunday. Intermittently, the rain came and went, re-flooding the course and quickly suspending play. Tape delays ruled the day(s). Now, it's Monday, and many of the people who would have sat down to watch the final thrilling round of the tournament on Father's Day Sunday are back at work, stuck refreshing a gamecast on their computers, or trying to find a streaming feed somewhere out there on the Internet.
Then, of course, there are the players involved. Tiger Woods? Still playing, but behind much of the leaderboard. Phil Mickleson? Contending, but only barely. Instead, the final group consists of Lucas Glover and leader Ricky Barnes, two unknowns that have charged from nowhere to lead the tournament on its final day. Casual types rooting for a Tiger charge -- or a Phil win, given his wife's recently discovered breast cancer -- have been disappointed.
So it is that the 109th U.S. Open, typically so enjoyable an event, has become a bit of a bust. We can't complain about major golf. But we can feel a little like Bethpage had more to offer in 2009. Stupid rain.

Q&A with Senior Runner Elena Inouye
Related Links
It seems as though UC San Diego cross country standout Elena Inouye's collegiate career has come nearly full circle. After an encouraging first two seasons that saw her garner Freshman of the Year and Most Valuable Racer accolades and twice scoring at the NCAA West Regionals, Inouye's upward trajectory hit a decided plateau. Injuries and other setbacks led to a redshirt year in 2010 and, although she competed in five events, 2011 wasn't really close to what she had produced as a freshman and sophomore. But so far as a senior is 2012, it appears that Inouye has finally overcome her obstacles and is poised to finish her Triton career on a high note. "Elena is definitely a big part of this year's team, not only with her performance but the mature leadership she brings," says Head Coach Nate Garcia. "The way she has diligently stuck through the challenging parts of her career has provided a great model for our younger runners in terms of how you approach both your own goals and team goals." On the eve of the 20th annual Triton Classic, the Torrance native took time to talk about her journey and what lies ahead.
Q-How difficult has it been the last several years, either not being able to compete or competing at a level clearly below your best?
INOUYE-Racing hurts physically, but the pain goes away when you finish. Not racing hurts more because it's all mental, and it's hard to escape the doubts and negative talk inside your head. It was tough trying to make the comeback after all the health issues. Each race was tainted with a twinge of frustration because I kept comparing myself to the past.
Q-During that time, did your perception/appreciation of being a cross country athlete change?
INOUYE-It's hard to put into words, but simply I love XC.
Q-You now seem to be getting close to where you were earlier in your collegiate career. Talk about the road back and what that entailed.
INOUYE-I had to grow-up and learn to build my confidence on things other than my times and performances. I wish I had learned this earlier on in my career, but I'm grateful the health issues triggered this change.
Q-What do you enjoy the most about cross country? For you, how does it compare to track?
INOUYE- In track it's so easy to get so caught up in splits and paces that you forget to race. In cross country, you forget about the time and splits and just go beat people. Also, cross country courses are much more fun than the monotony of 25 laps around the track.
Q-Although cross country is basically an individual sport, there's definitely a team element. What kind of team tactics are involved and what is an example of how teammates might work together in a race?
INOUYE-It's so defeating to get passed by a bunch of girls in the same uniform. You just feel beaten down. Teammates work together to beat down as many girls as possible, just crush their spirits and confidence by flanking them and then surging ahead in front.
Q-If you're running, say 6K (this week's Triton Classic distance), do you have a fairly consistent strategy as to how you approach the race or is it more how things shape up as the race unfolds?
INOUYE-Race strategy varies depending on the course. I usually go into the race with a plan for the first mile and then just go with the flow from there. With our course there's a more planned approach since it's so familiar, but still you never know what's going to happen.
Q-Obviously, every cross country layout is somewhat different. What type of course do you think fits you best?
INOUYE-I think I work best on courses that punish you at the end. It's so satisfying to power past all the girls struggling in the last 1200m.
Q-Describe the UCSD home course. What are the most interesting sections and which is the most challenging for you? How does it stack up against the other courses you see during the year?
INOUYE-Best part is on "D loop." You're surrounded by bushes, running on hard-packed dirt through a couple mini-roller hills that are loads of fun. Our course has many blind spots, so it's a challenge for me not to slip into complacent mode.
Q-Junior Chia Chang has been the top finisher for the UCSD Women in each of the last nine races. What makes her so formidable and are there any intangibles she brings to the team?
INOUYE-She's confident in her abilities and doesn't flinch in the face of competition. Her fearlessness is something we could all use a little more of.
Q-Who on this year's team do you see as an up-and-coming star?
INOUYE-Ximena Cruz. She's battled injuries since day one of her freshman year, so none of us have actually seen her unleash the beast that is her. Her confident mentality towards racing is so intimidating. I'd be scared to race against her. She's been able to manage her injuries this year, so I'm hoping the true "her" is going to break out soon.
Q-You're a chemistry major with designs on going to pharmacy school. What led you to go in that direction and what do you enjoy most about chemistry?
INOUYE-Chemistry is just cool-what's there not to love about making fake gems and blowing things up? My health issues exposed me to different types of medications and I was intrigued by the way the drugs were supposed to work in my body and how they made me feel. Also my internship at a drug development company opened my eyes to the vast field of pharmaceutics. It's such an interesting field-I want to learn more!
Q-You've said that baking is one of your favorite pastimes. What are some of your "go to" dishes?
INOUYE-Butter cookies around the holidays and although they don't require an actual oven, my mint truffles seem to be well-appreciated.
Q-Word has it you also enjoy basketball and are quite a player. Any truth to that rumor?
INOUYE-There's a reason I stuck to just running...
Q-Based on what you've seen so far, what kind of predictions would you make regarding your team's performance in the Triton Classic and through the end of the year?
INOUYE-The Lancer Invitational at Cal Baptist seemed to turn things around for us. We raced more aggressively and getting that win was a great boost. Our pack is starting to run closer together, so I'm excited to see us take that momentum into the races to come.
Q-What is the single most important thing for you to accomplish this season?
INOUYE-Qualifying for Nationals. I want us to tear it up in Joplin.

Christie struggles to deal with turmoil
The memo from Gov. Chris Christie's office attacking former appointee David Wildstein's credibility landed with a thud. It was a striking and deeply personal broadside coming from a chief executive of a state, and even his allies called it a mistake.
But one important person hadn't seen the missive ahead of time: the governor himself.
Story Continued Below
Christie's aides did not run the document – which took the extraordinary step of highlighting incidents from Wildstein's high school days – by the governor before they sent it out, according to two people familiar with the matter. Instead, someone tucked the high school lines into a daily briefing email to the governor's supporters, and blasted it out earlier than planned. Another round of unflattering news coverage ensued.
( PHOTOS: Chris Christie's inner circle)
The uproar over the memo illustrates Christie's struggles over the past month to regain his political footing amid a swirl of scandal. Until so-called "Bridgegate" erupted a month ago, he enjoyed a reputation as a politician firmly in control – of his well-honed public image, his second-term agenda in Trenton and the roadmap to the White House he intended to follow over the next three years.
The aura of authority surrounding Christie has given way to a feeling among his aides and allies that they are operating in new and unsettling territory, reacting to new twists in the scandal instead of driving events themselves.
His policy goals and his political plans have been jeopardized by twin probes of the lane closures from Fort Lee to the George Washington Bridge that emails indicate an aide and ally orchestrated as apparent political payback. Christie, who blamed the debacle on wayward staff, has had to craft a legal strategy at the same time his office is conducting an internal review of what happened.
( PHOTOS: Who's who in the Chris Christie bridge scandal?)
Christie is coping with the loss of a top deputy in his office, the intensifying gaze of the media and the investigations, including one by federal prosecutors. At least 16 subpoenas of current and former aides from his official office and campaign – as well as those two organizations themselves – have been issued. The governor's political survival depends on a set of facts that will take months to sort out.
Christie, famous for his blunt interactions with voters and the press, has kept a fairly controlled public schedule over the past month, much of it focused on the Super Bowl his state hosted. (His first town hall since last summer will be held next week.) His already-tight circle of advisors has shrunk further. His manner in public has been steady and focused on the future, but there have been moments in private in which he has seemed dejected, associates say. He appeared unhappy after he departed an event the day before the Super Bowl at Times Square, where he was heckled and booed by some in the crowd.
The nature of the scandal has prevented him from deploying the asset he's used most often over the past four years – his outsized personality and bravado – to push through.
GOP megadonor Al Hoffman was on hand to hear Christie speak at a packed event held by The Home Depot cofounder Ken Langone in Florida a few weeks ago.
( QUIZ: How well do you know Chris Christie?)
"We want to make sure that he gets through this crisis and then we'll jump on board," said Hoffman. "He gave a very, very correct speech about how he wanted to put the issue to bed. Of course, he looked a little tired when I saw him…he'd just been served with all those subpoenas."
Hoffman added: "It's going to be emotionally hard, it's got to be stressful for him… I think it's critically important, and I think he realizes (this), that if it truly was as he says it is, he can't react as negatively as he does with the press."
The investigations have had the effect of grinding the gears of his gubernatorial operation – not completely, but noticeably – sources close to Christie say. Aides have had to compile documents sought by investigators; instead of preparing for upcoming events designed to drive the governor's legislative agenda, staffers have devoted weekends to putting out the latest brushfire in the scandal.
( Also on POLITICO: Axelrod: Scandal led to Christie CPAC invite)
His allies are frustrated by the open-ended nature of the investigations, and feel like they are, as one ally put it, "being forced to prove a negative."
Christie's associates acknowledge he has had low moments. He hasn't been stung by any specific stories, friends insist, but by the volume and duration of negative headlines from a press corps that once heralded him as the Republican party's white knight for 2016.
His press office has handled the "daily briefing and talking points" memos that his office has circulated to allies the past three weeks without Christie involvement, sources said, including the one that went out Saturday attacking Wildstein over incidents dating to his time in high school. A day earlier, however, Christie did get involved his office's initial statement responding to Wildstein's claim that "evidence exists" that the governor was aware of the lane closures in real time. Christie deemed some of the language questioning the motivations of Wildstein, with whom he attended Livingston High School in the late '70s, too harsh, said two people close to the matter.
Within Christie's circle, the episode over the weekend illustrated their feeling that they're climbing a greased pole. Allegations ricochet around the Internet and across cable news, but anything refuting them, from their perspective, seems to get less attention.
For now, almost every encounter Christie has, in public or in private conversations, becomes a litmus test about his mood and the consistency of his comments about the scandal that's engulfed his office.
When he spoke at a luncheon of the Boys Club of New York on Tuesday, a long-planned, closed-door event where he was the featured attraction, attendees said he fared well. Asked about Bridgegate, he gave the same answer he has given publicly. But his demeanor was more sober than usual, and he appeared to some like a diminished version of his typically outsized personality – less like a future presidential candidate than simply the governor of the Garden State.
A livelier Christie entertained guests at the Super Bowl in a luxury box last weekend, including New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Rudy Giuliani and John Angelo, the boss of his wife, Mary Pat, as well as a handful of other financiers and family friends. The mood was relatively upbeat, according to several people, and Christie betrayed no sense in his behavior that the ongoing investigations are taking a toll.

Climate Change: The Road to Paris 2015
October 21, 2013
In November the next UN Conference of Parties on climate change (COP19) will meet in Warsaw. There is an enormous amount of work to do in Poland and subsequently if we are going to get a global, legally binding agreement on carbon emissions that we committed to achieve at COP21 in Paris in 2015.
In particular we need to set the political parameters around which a deal can be built.
The IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, published in September, reinforced the need for a more urgent and effective response to climate change. The 2015 deal remains the most effective way of putting us back on track to limit the global temperature rise to 2 degrees or less.
I was delighted to see the OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría showing leadership on this issue with a major climate change speech last week at the Grantham Institute for Climate Change in London. My old boss Lord Stern chaired the event in which the Secretary-General denounced the lack of progress towards achieving climate security.
The framing of the speech was essentially that we have a much clearer understanding of climate risk than before, yet have done far too little to tackle it, and – unlike the financial sector – do not have a bailout option. The Secretary-General said policies need to be significantly more ambitious (e.g. on achieving a carbon price), coherent (with wider economic policies and goals) and consistent (with government providing better long-term policy certainty).
I was pleased to hear him pledge to make carbon pricing and other environmental policies key elements of the OECD Economic Surveys that assess countries' comparative economic performance, and promise that the OECD would be closely monitoring countries' performance in these areas up to 2015 and beyond. Those are significant steps.
The IEA put out complementary analysis in its 'Redrawing the Energy Map' in June, including accelerating the phasing-out of subsidies to fossil-fuel consumption, and better systems of protection against energy poverty which do not entrench a reliance on emissions-intensive consumption. And for many years the IEA World Energy Outlook's Alternative Policy Scenarios have shown we are off-track from achieving sustainable energy policies.
It seems to me that the OECD and IEA's strong environmental policy messages are even more powerful coming as they do from primarily economic and energy organisations. It helps to reinforce the message that action on climate can be good for the economy and good for energy security.
Both institutions know that, like national governments, they must continue do more to strengthen their message and get their own house in order. The OECD must align its economic, environmental and social policy advice to be consistent and mutually reinforcing. We should be able to move away from talking about 'green' policy to simply 'good' policy.
I know the IEA is also working hard to ensure it tackles energy and climate security as two sides of the same coin.
After all, following the Secretary-General's speech in London, Lord Stern, author of the seminal Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, reiterated that we had no choice but to act on all these fronts. And that a focus on innovative solutions could usher in decades of prosperity: "this is a growth story, not a costs story".
For its part, the UK will continue to meet its own ambitious and legally-binding emissions targets and carbon budgets, reform the energy sector to achieve energy and climate security, and play a leading role in an ambitious EU programme of economic and environmental transformation.
Meanwhile we will continue to be vocal supporters of the OECD and IEA on these issues as they work together to present the most compelling analysis and pragmatic policy solutions to governments. There is very little time ahead of the big 2015 meeting in Paris.
(Warsaw, 11 November 2013) – The UN Climate Change Conference in Warsaw
began today with calls for governments to harness the strong groundswell of
action on climate change across all levels of government, business and
society and make real progress here towards a successful, global climate
change agreement in 2015.
The President of the Conference of the Parties (COP 19/CMP 9), is
H. E. Mr. Marcin Korolec, Poland's Environment Minister. He said in his
opening address that climate change is a global problem that must be turned
further into a global opportunity.
"It's a problem if we can't coordinate our actions. It becomes opportunity
where we can act together. One country or even a group cannot make a
difference. But acting together, united as we are here, we can do it."
In her opening speech at the Warsaw National Stadium, the venue of COP 19,
Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on
Climate Change, called on delegates to "win the Warsaw opportunity" in
order to safeguard present and future generations.
"We must stay focused, exert maximum effort for the full time and produce a
positive result, because what happens in this stadium is not a game. There
are not two sides, but the whole of humanity. There are no winners and
losers, we all either win or lose in the future we make for ourselves."
Ms. Figueres pointed to the sobering realities of climate change and the
rise in extreme events that climate science has long predicted, including
the devastating Typhoon Haiyan that just hit the Philippines, one of the
most powerful typhoons ever to make landfall.
Ms. Figueres highlighted the key areas in which COP 19 can make progress:
"We must clarify finance that enables the entire world to move towards
low-carbon development. We must launch the construction of a mechanism that
helps vulnerable populations to respond to the unanticipated effects of
climate change. We must deliver an effective path to pre-2020 ambition, and
develop further clarity for elements of the new agreement that will shape
the post-2020 global climate, economic and development agendas".
In addition, the meeting in Warsaw will focus on decisions that will make
fully operational the new institutional support under the UNFCCC for
developing nations in finance, adaptation and technology. These are the
Green Climate Fund, the Technology Mechanism and the Adaptation Committee,
all agreed in Cancun in 2010.
Ms. Figueres stressed the fact that the meeting in Warsaw is taking place
against the background of growing awareness that climate change is real and
accelerating, and the growing willingness of people, businesses and
governments to take climate action, at all levels of society and policy.
"There is a groundswell of climate action. Not only for environmental
reasons, but also for security, energy, economic and governance reasons.
Political will and public support favour action now. A new universal
climate agreement is within our reach. Agencies, development banks,
investors and subnational governments are on board. The science from the
IPCC is clear. Parties can lead the momentum for change and move together
towards success in 2015."

1.5 stars (out of 4)
Aerosmith has survived drugs, fist fights, on-stage break-ups and Steven Tyler's two-year celebrity ego trip on "American Idol." Survival is one thing, rebuilding themselves into a rock band that matters again is another challenge entirely.
"Music From Another Dimension" (Columbia), the Boston quintet's first album of new material in 11 years, kind of, sort of lives up to its billing – if the "dimension" being referenced is Aerosmith's past. Each of the band's eras is rehashed: the hard-rock '70s, when they staked a reasonable claim to being America's answer to the Rolling Stones; the aimless, drug-addled '80s; and the buffer, commercially spiffed-up '90s. They also bring back producer Jack Douglas, who oversaw their best albums, including "Toys in the Attic" and "Rocks."
Wind this band up and it can still swing, with bassist Tom Hamilton, drummer Joey Kramer and rhythm guitarist Brad Whitford bringing a dollop of R&B; to the crunch. Tyler mixes the trashy patter with the screechy high notes, and Perry is still good for knocking off a Stones riff ("Oh Yeah") or recycling one of his own ("Legendary Child" as a shameless rewrite of "Walk This Way"). These veterans try to conjure the rush of the "Toys" era in "Street Jesus" and the bluesy grind of "Rocks" on "Out Go the Lights." It's hardly ground-breaking, but when Tyler brays, Perry blooze-ifies on guitar, the cow-bells ring and the back-up singers wail, Aerosmith approximates a cartoony version of its glory days.
But the album's second half nosedives. Two tracks with shaky lead vocals by Perry ("Freedom Fighter," "Something") don't help. Then there's the band's embrace of power ballads and hack songwriters-for-hire such as Diane Warren and Desmond Child. They wrote some of the band's limpest '80s and '90s hits, and they resurface on the new album. The Warren piano ballad "We All Fall Down," the Child-assisted melodrama of "Another Last Goodbye" and Tyler's ill-advised duet with country singer Carrie Underwood on "Can't Stop Loving You" (complete with a gratuitous "Mama Kin" reference) only underline just how wretched much of Aerosmith's post-rehab era really was. "Music From Another Dimension" doesn't do much to reverse that trend.

When In Doubt, Best to Defer To Strength of Teams on Cape
Given the very unpredictable nature of
summer baseball, it often takes time for the nation's top teams to
establish themselves and move to the forefront of Perfect Game's
annual ranking of the top clubs. This year, it may be a more
difficult task than normal to get an early handle on the top
summer-league teams.
The Cape Cod League's Harwich
Mariners are ranked No. 1 in PG's first in-season ranking of the
Top 30 Teams for the 2012 season, but that may be more a
reflection of how the team finished a year ago and how it should play
when all its reinforcements arrive, as opposed to how it has played
to date.
Through its first five games this
season, the defending Cape Cod League champions are just 3-2, and
technically in third place in the Cape's Eastern Division—hardly
the credentials of a No. 1-ranked team. But the Mariners have largely
held serve to date with a depleted roster, and plenty more is
expected of them in the coming weeks.
Among the reinforcements who are
expected to join the team today or Wednesday are top-rated prospects
like outfielder Austin Wilson and first baseman Brian Ragira, both
from Stanford; second baseman JaCoby Jones and righthander Austin
Nola, both from Louisiana State; and catcher Brett Austin from North
Carolina State. Nola will make his debut tonight against Hyannis as
the Mariners starting pitcher.
All five players are considered
elite-level prospects, and their delay in joining the Mariners is a
result of their team's late participation in NCAA post-season play.
A sixth player, South Carolina outfielder Tanner English, will be
delayed a little longer as the Gamecocks are still alive in the
College World Series.
The one Harwich player that has stood
out to date and even carried the team in the early going is
outfielder Phil Ervin, a rising junior at Samford. He leads the
prestigious Cape League in homers (3), RBIs (8) and slugging average
(1.118) through five games, while hitting .412. Righthander Corey
Littrell (Kentucky) has been the dominant arm on the Mariners deep,
talented pitching staff, throwing four scoreless innings while
striking out eight.
While Harwich has yet to hit full
stride while awaiting the arrival of several key players, it has
opened the door for the Chatham Anglers and Orleans Firebirds to grab
an early share of the lead in the Cape's Eastern Division. Both
teams are 4-1 in the early going, a full game ahead of Harwich.
A total of six teams from the Cape Cod
League, easily the nation's most-prestigious summer-college league,
occupy spots in Perfect Game's first Top 30 Ranking, and
conceivably more teams from that league could be ranked, except that
a team must have at least a .500 record overall to receive
consideration. As it is, Chatham at No. 4 and the Cotuit Kettleers
(3-2) at No. 5 have cracked the top five, in addition to Harwich.
Teams are ranked on the following
criteria: won-loss record, league dominance, depth and quality of
professional-level talent and the overall strength of the league.
Other teams to make the top five are
the No. 2-ranked Newport Gulls (5-1), a perennial New England
Collegiate League power, and No. 3-ranked La Crosse Loggers (15-5),
which has ridden a nine-game winning streak to a share of the best
record in the Northwoods League.
On the flip side, the Cal Ripken
League's Bethesda Big Train (3-9), PG's No. 1-ranked team in
2011, continues to struggle after an abnormally slow start, while the
Hyannis Harbor Hawks (0-5) remain winless after holding down first
place from start to finish in the regular season in the Cape Cod
League a year ago.

Monetary realities usually affect the citizen's daily life far more than the Congress, President, or Supreme Court. AMI's research shows that a main arena of human struggle has been over the monetary control of societies. This control is exercised through monetary theory - in obscure doctrines about the nature of money. If it had to be summarized in one sentence it is that by mis-defining the nature of money, special interests have often been able to control a society's monetary system, and in turn, the society itself. Describing how this has been done historically, makes these concepts clear and vital and sweeps aside the mystification in which money has been purposely shrouded.
Unobvious: The powers-that-be have shown time and time again that they care absolutely nothing for human life. Therefore, one must wonder -- why go to all the trouble of evacuating the Towers and then demolishing them, creating over 2000 non-existent "people"? That question can be answered when one poses another question -- why was the New York Stock Exchange able to re-open days after the attack? Obviously, if the Twin Towers had really collapsed while full of real, flesh-and-blood financial wizards, there would have been a huge economic crisis, and Wall Street would have taken a huger-than-huge hit.
Even if these (bank) accounts are simulated, the company must know about it and therefore must be culpable for 9/11.
The fact that Suntrust would fess up to simmad (sim-villain or invented terrorist) accounts says something about how confident they are in their role as story-keeper. The villains of the fairy tale are the most important aspects of their psychological success against us.

Issue Type: Bug Created: 2008-10-03T03:50:23.000+0000 Last Updated: 2009-08-17T09:07:23.000+0000 Status: Resolved Fix version(s): - 1.9.1 (11/Aug/09)
Reporter: Colin Guthrie (coling) Assignee: Ralph Schindler (ralph) Tags: - Zend_Acl
Related issues: - ZF-1722
When querying an ACL, the resource objects that are passed into the query methods are not actually passed through to any asserts that are defined. Instead, their resourceId() is looked up and then the object passed in at ACL construction time is used instead.
This prevents some advanced use of the assert() system.
Here is a detailed description:
I have classes defined in my system which implement Zend_Acl_Resource_Interface. In my case I always implement my getResourceId() as a very simple "return CLASS".
I'll use an example of Articles to try and put this into context.
Say I have following setup:

class Article implements Zend_Acl_Resource_Interface.
public function getResourceId()
return __CLASS__;
public $author;
public function __construct($articleId)
// Load article by id and populate $author.
(Obviously it does other stuff too!!)
In order to restrict editing to only the author of the article, I could implement the following Acl_Assert:

class Own_Article_Assert implements Zend_Acl_Assert_Interface
public function assert(
Zend_Acl $acl,
Zend_Acl_Role_Interface $role = null,
Zend_Acl_Resource_Interface $resource = null,
$privilege = null)
if (!($resource instanceof Article))
return false;
// We now know $resource is of the class "Article"
$auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
if (!$auth->hasIdentity())
return false;
return ($auth->getIdentity()->username == $resouce->author);
Then I had an ACL something like...

$acl = new Zend_Acl;
$acl->addRole(new Zend_Acl_Role('User'));
$acl->add(new Zend_Acl_Resource('Article'));
$acl->allow('User', 'Article' 'view');
$acl->allow('User', 'Article' 'edit', new Own_Article_Assert);
This should allow a user to view any article, but only allow the original author to edit it.
I've used the generic Zend_Acl_Resource() object to add the resource into the Acl as I cannot configure my Acl with the real article object without instantiating it (and thus loading an article from the DB). This seems like a reasonable thing to do.
Allow me to elaborate further. Let's say I then have some code:

$art1 = new Article(1); // An article by current user
$art2 = new Article(2); // An article by someone else
echo 'View 1: '.($acl->isAllowed('User', $art1, 'view') ? 'ACK' : 'NAK')."

";
echo 'View 2: '.($acl->isAllowed('User', $art2, 'view') ? 'ACK' : 'NAK')."

";
echo 'Edit 1: '.($acl->isAllowed('User', $art1, 'edit') ? 'ACK' : 'NAK')."

";
echo 'Edit 2: '.($acl->isAllowed('User', $art2, 'edit') ? 'ACK' : 'NAK')."

";
What you'd expect here is: ACK, ACK, ACK, NAK. But what actually happens is: ACK, ACK, NAK, NAK.
(sounds like Mars Attacks.... ;))
This is because the article object itself never gets passed through to the assert method and thus it fails at the "instanceof" check. This is due to the fact that the object you pass in to isAllowed is actually internally replaced by a the generic object added during ACL construction. This is done in Acl.php's get() function. (see the variable instance storage: $this->_resources[$resourceId]['instance']).
I can fix this trivially with a small patch (which I'll attach) that preserves the object passed in if it is given and only uses the generic object if a string is used as the parameter. With this patch applied, my original Article object makes it through to the assert() and I can perform the necessary tests.
I really hope this is a bug as, to me, I really don't see the point in using "objects" in the Acl system if the objects themselves are not going to be preserved and passed about accordingly. If the objects just represent generic strings then why not just use generic strings in the first place. Being able to pass a specific object to an assert method is what makes it powerful/useful.
I hope this is understandable. If you would like me to provide code I can do.
I cannot for the life of me work out how to attach a patch to this issue, so I'll just have to post it inline here... am I being thick or is there really no way to add patches etc? Seems pretty counter productive if there isn't a way....

There are similarities in these two bug reports with regards to the actual object that is passed to the assert(). Overall the usefulness of asserts are IMO restricted by these two issues.
Posted by Colin Guthrie (coling) on 2008-10-15T04:31:39.000+0000
Again these are similar bugs. With regards to Resources, I feel that my fix in ZF-4460 is sufficient, I have not looked specifically at Roles. I suspect my fix applies better as the code in Zend_Acl has moved on.

Colin, thanks for submitting such a clear write-up of this bug.
I think this bug is extremely important, as it is impossible to write non-trivial assertions if you can get access to the methods of the resource you are considering.
My use case is exactly the same as yours (a requirement to restrict people to records that belong to them), and I suspect that this is a very common scenario.
As an alternative to changing isAllowed(), we are overriding get() by telling it to only return the resource from the registry if the $resource parameter doesn't implement Zend_Acl_Resource_Interface:

public function get($resource)
if ($resource instanceof Zend_Acl_Resource_Interface) {
$resourceId = $resource->getResourceId();
} else {
$resourceId = (string) $resource;
if (!$this->has($resource)) {
require_once 'Zend/Acl/Exception.php';
throw new Zend_Acl_Exception("Resource '$resourceId' not found");
if (!$resource instanceof Zend_Acl_Resource_Interface) {
$resource = $this->_resources[$resourceId]['instance'];
return $resource;

Sorry, critical spelling error above!
I think this bug is extremely important, as it is impossible to write non-trivial assertions if you CAN'T get access to the methods of the resource you are considering.
Posted by Roger Hunwicks (rhunwicks) on 2008-10-24T07:52:05.000+0000
Finally, I think that whichever fix is applied, it should also be applied to Zend_Acl_Role_Registry->get() so that the code is consistent.
Posted by Colin Guthrie (coling) on 2008-10-24T08:17:28.000+0000
Yeah the solution I had was a little messy with the inline if statement etc..
I think this is the optimal version for neatness/compactness/clarity:

public function get($resource)
if (!$resource instanceof Zend_Acl_Resource_Interface) {
$resource = $this->_resources[(string)$resource]['instance'];
if (!$this->has($resource)) {
require_once 'Zend/Acl/Exception.php';
throw new Zend_Acl_Exception("Resource '".$resource->getResourceId()."' not found");
return $resource;
Posted by Colin Guthrie (coling) on 2008-10-24T08:19:08.000+0000
Erm, scratch that last comment. I see the by looking up the instance before checking ->has() is clearly insane. I'll stop to stop smoking so much crack. :s

Assigning to Ralph to get closure on this issues.

Anything new on this one? As some other posters wrote this is some major blocker when working with assertions.

A fix is in place in trunk at r17317 for ZF-1721 and ZF-1722 which I think might address this issue, please test. Thanks!

Hi Ralph,
I'd like to confirm this has indeed fixed my test case.
That said, when the get() method is called and a resource is passed in, that same resource object will not be passed out again. Is this the intended behaviour for a public method?
See my inline patch at the end of the description of this topic which fixes the get() method.. The resource object passed in to the get() method is preserved if it is already a resource. In the current 1.9.1 implementation, if a resource object is passed in, the resource object with the same identifier registered in the ACL is what is returned, not the original resource.
This is arguably not needed if this is just the intended behaviour of this public function (and changing it is admittedly an API breakage), but perhaps this should be rethought for 2.0 and changed?
I'd welcome you're opinion on the matter. :)
Thanks for the fix.

I originally tried going the same route, but it gets you to (like you said) a place where there is bc breakage. Even if its not intended behavior, its what we have.
I think there are loads of refactoring we can do for 2.0 time. First is that we should tree ACL's more like Trees and nodes, thus utilizing RecursiveIterator and RecursiveIteratorIterator. There should also be a focus on explict roles/resources and types of resources/roles, both use cases being supported. This means using strings for types, and exact objects for explicit role/resource registration and checking.
If you have other thoughts, I suggest you start a Zend_Acl 2.0 page on the ZFDEV wiki :)
Have you found an issue?
