This is not a hard and fast rule, but more of a guide to naming such that we can build more consistent API's in the various components in Zend Framework. By now, we've had a significant amount of time to work with namespaced and PHP 5.3 code, I think it's time to talk about some of our previous decisions to ensure they were indeed the right ones.

Previous arguments

Previous arguments that have been put forth have drawn inspiration far and wide from various programming language communities and various programming language code bases. Ultimately, I think this is a bad idea. When it comes to THIS decision, we should look directly at the communities and languages that are most like our own. Our own is object-oriented with an implementation that is single inheritance / multiple interfaces. What that means is our direct inspiration should be language communities like this, which is primarily C# and Java, but maybe Pascal and a few others.

On of the larger previous arguments has been that by adding "abstract" and "interface" to a class name is another form of Hungarian Notation. In all my research, I've seen very few texts say that apply the term Hungarian Notation to the naming of "types"; I've only seen this terminology applied to variables. Saying it's a form of Hungarian Notation seems incorrect to me, and thus should not be used as an argument.

Another argument is that with IDE's, the behavior of a type is known since the IDE will know if a name is a concrete class, abstract class or interface name. While I, being an IDE user, can understand this argument; it is both that the greater PHP community might not be a user of an IDE but also that type support and hinting in major IDEs is still not 100%. Thus, in my mind, this argument can be dismissed too.

Yet another argument is that the PEAR standards for 2.0 have been set and that we should follow these recommendations. While we've traditionally seen PEAR as the standards group (some say "gold standard"), it is clear they are embarking into PHP 5.3 at the same time as us and are identifying the same problems as us. At this point, their research is as old as ours and it would be an injustice to our group to simply default to the PEAR group for direction here. So again, in my mind, this argument too is not solid.

Finally, we have to admit that the SPL is not perfect and over time has been produced by many developers that have varying and differing opinions on what names should be used. The PHP Group does not go into the same depth as we should when it comes to namings (they have an altogether different set of goals and perspectives that rank naming and refactorings lower). One of the major reasons for a PHP frameworks existence is that frameworks are built by a smaller group of developers that share a common set of goals, perspectives and coding standards. For us and our success; consistency, cohesiveness and clarity of our API are what make ZF a more successful project moving forward.

What are the Problems At Hand?

Name collisions

Too much creativity required on behalf of a developer (this is a bad thing)

Unclear API, hard to distinguish consumption vs. extension API (this is important!)

Lack of purpose and intent in type names

First, we are seeing more name collisions, that is, places where we actually want to create a class now has an interface in it's place. Since we've banned the usage of the suffix "Interface", we've had to find new names for things that are interfaces (which, in ZF2 we will have more of since we've rightfully adopted the SOLID & Design-by-contract approaches.) Without the suffix of "interface", we now have to become more creative in naming when it comes to finding a home (in both name and filesystem location) for our interfaces. This is a bad thing. Too much creativity from too many people will create too many variances in the ZF2 API. As a consequence, we will diverge from consistency in the naming of classes - a bad thing. Instead of ZF2 becoming more a more cohesive API to interact with, it will remain the same or worse than ZF1 in the fact that it is ultimately looks and feels like code written build by lots of developers each with their own programming nuances.

Ultimately, we need our class names to immediately identify their purpose and intent through their name. What this will allow is for both new developers and seasoned ZF2 developers the ability to glance over a components classes and be able to distinguish between what is part of the consumption API and what is part of the extension API.

How Have Others Like Us Solved This Problem

.NET (C#) & Pascal community has traditionally (dominantly) prefixed classes with "I" for interface

The Java Community has traditionally (dominantly) suffixed classes with "Interface"

The PHP OO type system is not really so different from .NET/C# and Java. That said, perhaps we should have a hard look at these communities. After all, these happen to be two of the most popular programming languages on earth. Their audience tends to be more enterprise centric, but is that one of our core audiences too?

Visual Demonstrations

The following imagery will help to explain my position as it relates to the API, its clarity & cohesiveness, and ultimately, the first impressions it gives off.

This is an example of an early, but mostly complete Zend Framework 2.0 component. It currently follows the existing naming conventions we've setup over the past year.

<ac:image ac:border="true"><ri:attachment ri:filename="naming1.jpg" /></ac:image>

One of the first questions a new developer (to this component) might ask is "How do I use this component, where do I start". This component answers this question very well...

<ac:image ac:border="true"><ri:attachment ri:filename="naming1-entrypoint.jpg" /></ac:image>

Beyond identifying the initial use case or "entry point" for this new API, a question might be either of the following: "What other classes can I interact with immediately", "How do I extend this code base for my use case"...

<ac:image ac:border="true"><ri:attachment ri:filename="naming1-where-extension-points.jpg" /></ac:image>

Without examining all the files, what might we assume about the intent and purpose of each class..

(blue is correct assumptions, red is incorrect assumptions),

<ac:image ac:border="true"><ri:attachment ri:filename="naming1-assumptions-of-purpose.jpg" /></ac:image>

(Yes, these are my assumptions, perhaps yours would be closers to the purpose/intent of the class. But, my point ultimately is that there is less a chance that two developers can make the same assumption about the same classes purpose/intent)

In this screenshot, in order to identify all the interfaces, we've had to explore each file. This screenshot is in an IDE, but without an IDE, the process is still the same. The developer will have to explore each and every class to get the "full picture"...

<ac:image ac:border="true"><ri:attachment ri:filename="naming2.jpg" /></ac:image>

Now that we've opened or examined all the files, we can identify what's what:

<ac:image ac:border="true"><ri:attachment ri:filename="naming2-identify-by-expansion.jpg" /></ac:image>

Here is an alternative naming scheme. Yes, the namings of interfaces are far less creative than previously, and yes, they add a little bit of length (Interface vs. Manager - 2 characters), but the length problem has already been solved with the PHP namespace implementation. More importantly though this boring conventions does reduce the need for creative names. And that is ultimately a good thing because creative leads to divergence and variance whereas convention leads to consistency and cohesiveness...

<ac:image ac:border="true"><ri:attachment ri:filename="naming-alt-highlight-types.jpg" /></ac:image>

Code Review Consideration

When looking at code others have produced, having an 'Interface' suffix allows the reviewer to be able to distinguish if the code under review is coupling classed based on a particular contract (interface) or a specific implementation (concrete implementation / abstract implementation).

For example:

<ac:macro ac:name="code"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[
public function someMethod(Bar $bar) { // is Bar a class, abstract or interface?
// ...
if ($baz instanceof Baz) {} // is Baz a class, abstract or interface?
// ...

as oppose to:

<ac:macro ac:name="code"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[
public function someMethod(BarInterface $bar) { // this class just wants an object that satisfies a particular interface
// ...
if ($boo instanceof BooInterface) {} // definitely an interface
if ($bam instanceof AbstractBam) {} // definiately expecting something that has a based abstract impl. of AbstractBam
if ($bax instanceof Bax) {} // definitely a concrete implementation

The latter code (above) makes it easy for anyone consuming the above code to see what kind of type expectations there are without having to have full knowledge of all the types in a particular namespace. This gives a consumer a better understanding of where possible extension points more immediately than having to fully understand all the code in the codebase.

Conclusion & Proposal

Just as the prefix "Abstract" helps us identify incomplete implementations, "Interface" helps us distinguish useable classes from contracts (ie: interfaces). This proposal is not to change anything as it releates to the prefix "Abstract", which has been accepted and is in use. This proposal suggests two things only:

Suffix contracts with "Interface". Contracts will generally consist of more than a single method, but not always.

Suffix object capabilities with 'able' or some other kind of representation of capability. While it's not a hard and fast rule, capability interfaces should generally be single method interfaces.

Old Proposal By Matthew Ratzloff

SOLID principle & Design-by-contract

Ralph's Article on API Design

Jan 09, 2012

Two things:

Why are you only entertaining the "Interface" suffix, and not the "I" prefix? Both are valid, and I've seen the "I" prefix in more languages than I've see an "Interface" suffix (Python and C# both use it); shouldn't this also be an option?

Your last point, "suffix object capabilities with 'able'" comes out of the blue, with little or no discussion. What is the purpose behind this? and wouldn't this create confusion as well – due to having multiple ways of naming interfaces?

Based on your arguments, I'd argue all interfaces be named using the same notation (suffix or prefix, based on consensus).

Jan 10, 2012

C# uses I, but python doesn't really have native interfaces in the same sense that C#, Java, & PHP do - so it's hard to consider what python does (as such they have no runtime type checking based on a class/interface type, they do more duck-typing responds to / has_attr style type checking).

At current, it appears the larger PHP community is using the "Interface" suffix, and by that, I mean Doctrine, Symfony2, and a handful of solo projects on github for php5.3 that don't have a ton of legacy code, specifically. At this point, using the "I" prefix, I feel would be "bucking the trend", and for very little value other than to be different. Of course, this statement is highly argumentative and speculative - I have no numbers to back that up.

As for the "able" suffix, that is to address the naming of another popular use of interfaces outside of "as a contract" - which is that of being a marker interface. These include usages/ideas such as Serializable, Countable, Dispatchable; things of the kind of nature where they only have a single method as part of the interface. So, in essence, we're not talking about "multiple ways", we're only talking about 2: each with a well understood purpose.

As you point out though, I'd love to bring this to consensus as as you know, I feel there is a bit of chaotic-ness in our current zf2 codebase that has emerged as its grown. I'll revise my argument above to further explain the idea of the marker interface, and I'd also suggest that find the consensus as a wiki poll, with public votes (same way we do our IRC meeting agenda).

Jan 25, 2012

I would just like to add my vote for adding an "interface" suffix (and other likewise suffixes) to interfaces as I was personally recently confused when looking at ZF2's code recently, it is difficult to differentiate what is an interface and what is not.

As for what suffix to use, I've always been a fan of using longer English words to determine the type of a variable (and a class or interface in our situation) instead of the cryptic Hungarian Notation, so I'd vote for using "Interface" instead of "I", but it's very subjective and I'd be happy with either as long as we get a suffix! <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" />

Thanks for the good works guys.

Jan 26, 2012

The prime example given in this RFC relates to a complex component, considering how limited the OO-model is in PHP 5. I'd argue that this particular component could be refactored to introduce more self-explanatory names. Taking other, existing components into account: After working with zf2 for some time now, consuming and extending, I've got used to no-suffix interfaces. I got to the point that I think it's more elegant in many instances. I also hate how the word "creativity" is twisted to almost mean something bad to have.

For example:

<ac:macro ac:name="code"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[
if($widget instanceof Widget){
// do something

I fail to see a confusion here. There are exactly two possibilities here:

Widget is an interface (hint)

Widget is a functional class

This distinction does not matter for further consumption, because interfaces cannot be instantiated. When using an ide, writing "MyWidget extends Widget" will result in an error, if Widget is an interface.

Because in current paradigm we do have Abstract prefixes for abstract components, there is no confusion in the "extension" department either. For example (component with interface+abstract):

AbstractValidator.php – abstract (boiler-plate) class

Date.php – concrete implementation

Hostname.php – another one

Validator.php – an interface, because there is an abstract above and we follow a simple rule

ValidatorBroker.php – utility class, because it is suffixed with "Broker"

ValidatorLoader.php – same as above

Another example (simple component):

Cloud.php – some concrete class

Item.php – concrete class, because there is no AbstractItem anywhere in this namespace

ItemList.php – probably utility because of "List" prefix

Taggable.php – clearly an interface, because it has "able" suffix

At the same time I do see problems in some components that I believe should be fixed in the scope of that particular components.

For example (a naming nightmare):

AbstractProtocol.php – abstract class, obvious

AbstractTransport.php – same

Mail.php – hmm... I assume a class, because there is no AbstractMail anywhere

MailPart.php – a class that lives inside Mail ?

MailMessage.php – now I'm confused - is it a class that extends Mail ?

Message.php – an interface?

The above are my assumptions before peeking inside those files. Of course they are all wrong, but I think introducing Interface suffix here and there will NOT fix this particular problem!

Here is how Mail would like after refactor proposed by Ralph:

A tiny bit better, but I am still confused :\

Jan 27, 2012

I very much like the idea of char-prefixing abstracts and interfaces. It's already been discussed before and it was declined, IMO. It is not much work to add it, it doesn't break anything, but it helps visual orientation - many IDEs have code-insight now, so that you can see on hover what it is. But there are a lot of cases when you just CAT a class or open it in simple notepad/viewer where there is no code-insight.

Another plus is less writing than SomeClassInterface. Great mix of scan-speed readability, class name length (yay, we have namespaces, let's make the classnames longer <ac:emoticon ac:name="laugh" />) and formal naming logic.

Jan 27, 2012

Honestly I hate using programming language constructs to name my classes. The main reason is that I try to think outside of the programming language when designing, so I prefer to use domain language as much as possible. This may require 'creativity' but I think the focus should be on naming in regards to the problem space, rather than the implementation details.

Is there really a use case for someone using a class without looking at it in any way? Whether you're in an IDE or not, you don't blindly extend a class without knowing what methods are available to it. The real time that class names become important are on actually using them, rather than implementing them, in which case having a domain-centric name instead of a programming construct-centric name is going to be more useful initially and down the road.

<ac:macro ac:name="code"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[if ($cat instanceof Mammal)Unknown macro: {..}

is far more readable than

<ac:macro ac:name="code"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[if ($cat instanceof MammalInterface)

and at that point in the code, do I really care if Mammal is a class or an interface?

I think that goes along with RAD as well. I may not initially develop my feature with an interface, but if I want to later go back and refactor Mammal to an interface, the intention of my original code does not change.

oh, and I'm absolutely against using 'I' if we go down that route. I is far too easily ignored as noise, or worse, misread. My company's current coding standard is to avoid all abbreviations, and while I was initially skeptical about this policy it has proven over and over again to me to make clearer, domain-readable code that requires very little parsing to understand what the intention of the code is.

Feb 01, 2012

Seth + Artur,

I'll give you a for example from a two perspectives. First, lets say I am a developer consuming ZF, someone who has just downloaded the code base and started using it. How do they know that $m = new Mammal; is not legal? Especially since in most cases, we supply both the primary contract as well as a base implementation? In that case, its the difference between having a RequestInterface and a Request base object.

As a consumer, its hard to look at a freshly downloaded codebase and ascertain anything from the file structure as you would expect.

Now, from a development standpoint. If I am doing a code review of another developers code, lets say in a github pull request. Just by looking at the code, how can I ensure that you've coded to the contract instead of an implementation? ($cat instanceof MammalInterface) ensures this. Otherwise, I'd have to hunt down the use statement, then cross-reference that from the file in which the Mammal type was defined within.

Mammal is a bad example of b/c you don't necessarily have an instance of a Mammal, you have an instance of a Cat which implements Mammal. This is often not the kind of relationship we have in the ZF codebase, there are typically interfaces, and them base implementations which often would carry the same name.

Feb 01, 2012

Granted, the example was a poor one, but to your questions: I still think it an uncommon use case to use an object/class without using 1) documentation examples or 2) api documentation (i.e., class/method signatures)

If someone coming into the code base does a new Mammal; they will get an obvious fatal error and take a closer look at the implementation. (Either digging through code, which granted is not optimal, reading the example more closely, or studying the API documentation, which they should have done in the first place)

I would really love to have my cake and eat it too, i.e., Interfaces with domain-meaningful names and classes with domain meaningful names, that do not overlap.

Feb 02, 2012

You have your interface - DbAdapter. You want to create your own implementation - named My\DbAdapter. Now when you use it in your code - the only way to say whether you use interface or concrete implementation is to corss-reference the use-statement (or use classname with namespace.

Feb 02, 2012

In this example, I think it's much more important to specify what kind of implementation is your Class such as My\MysqlDbAdapter or My\FileDbAdapter !

I totally agree with Set and Artur.

Feb 01, 2012

Thank you Ralph, this was bugging me as well while I was looking at the ZF2 codebase.

Oct 16, 2012

+1 for Seth Thornberry's domain language point. Just a side note, I don't like that we are calling it "creativity" when in fact what we are doing is accurately describing an object/object's intent. The name should become clear when the intent of the object is clearly defined--this happens through refactoring. My point being, if you need to add a suffix, your intent is not clear.

We don't add a suffix to concrete classes, so why should we add them to abstracts and interfaces?

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Timothy C. Hoops, MD is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Gastroenterology Division at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of Gastroenterology at Penn Medicine at Radnor responds:
Tumors in the colon can be missed. We know that there is an expected miss rate, although it is small. Additionally, it is typically the smaller tumors that are missed. That being said, there are several reasons a tumor could be missed in the cecum. It may be that the pre-colonoscopy prep was not good enough. The cecum is the hardest place in the colon to get completely clean making visualization of the area difficult. Second, if the procedure is difficult, it may be that the cecum was never reached but the landmarks seen were mistakenly thought to be the cecum. The cecum is the part of the colon that is furthest point from the entrance of the colonoscope. Obviously, one could miss a tumor in the cecum as it was never actually seen. If the entire colon were visualized, it would be unlikely that a significant tumor, large enough to be palpated through the abdominal wall, would be missed. It may be that what is felt is not in the cecum but rather outside it, such as an ovarian mass or a bladder tumor, etc. If there were concern, a barium enema or another colonoscopy would be helpful.

Industry Business News
Interview with Franck Weinstoerffer from Transports Jean Claude-Mermet
What is your function and your business sector? I work as the quality control officer at Transports Jean-Claude Mermet. Our business activity relates to transports, logistics and storage, and we also handle ads on vehicles as well as vehicle and office renting. Who are your clients and suppliers? Our customer base is mainly comprised of industrial companies working in all business areas (automobile, plastics processing, etc.), and also with haulage companies. As to our suppliers, they are of course vehicles suppliers and insurers, but also tyre, diesel, fuel and oil suppliers. What are your main assets in face of the competition? Our main asset resides in the fact we practically do everything by ourselves, unlike some haulage companies which subcontract. Another of our strengths lies in our proximity and our important haulage ability in the Rhônes-Alpes area thanks to more than 30 vehicles in this region, which gives our customers flexibility and quality of service. Within your current activity, what is the initiative or launch that you're the most proud of? Precisely that we do everything by ourselves. Not many haulage companies could have managed this, but we have achieved it. Has your business core evolved in the last few years? Yes. For instance, people use fewer and fewer vehicles for long trips, so they opt for subcontracts. We have also faced an important evolution concerning the working hours. Legislation has forced us to limit driving times, and also to accept compulsory break times. This, alongside giving the haulers better working conditions and reinforcing the road safety. Is innovation important to your company? Yes, but it comes a lot from the suppliers. Why? Because we're now facing many changes regarding the environment, with more and more rules imposed by the government. These are obvious advances but, economically speaking, they favour our activity in more or less proportions.
Interview with Francis Alizer from AFI Company
What is your function and your business sector? I am the manager of AFI since it started in 1993. Our staff includes ten employees, and we work in the industrial supplies sector as well as providing services to the building trade, companies and communities. Who are your clients and suppliers? Our clients are primarily companies from the construction industry and the industrial sector. In both cases, these may be big companies with subsidiaries as well as more local and regional SMEs, or individual tradespeople. Our suppliers are various tools suppliers and makers in Europe. At the moment we use 1094 different suppliers. What are your main assets in face of the competition? Service. We are more focused on service needs and on the solutions we deliver to the client than on the product per se. We try to determine what will best meet the client's need, we examine the bill of specifications, we check that the request duly corresponds with his needs and we attempt to find a solution satisfactory to everybody. Within your current activity, what is the initiative or launch that you're the most proud of? Products I develop for the nuclear power industry. These are products used in the transport of TFA equipment. Actually, we're at the beginning of a deconstruction phase of nuclear power, but one needs to know that this phase will last 150 years and that it involves a lot of trades and business sectors, including ours. How do you keep your customers happy? Fast logistics, a quick reactivity time and stock. We have increased our stock by 35%, and we have also developed a retail website at the same time to make our e-commerce debut. Which complementary services do you propose alongside your products? We propose a range of services and support to the client depending on his specific needs. Thanks to our network, we are able to support clients who sometimes haven't a lot of representatives, if at all.

So, lately I have been having this experience that first...I know is not Jhana. But I would just like some peoples ideas on what it is. It has happened during meditation, but oddly enough also during a couple of job interviews...(i know sounds weird).
So, I start focusing in breath during meditation and after about 20 minutes or so I get this "buzzing" feeling in my head and I suddenly feel like my body is leaning to the right. I have opened my eyes during meditation and the feeling remains and I am not leaning. If I focus on the feeling or on my breath I can make it stronger but it definitely has a threshold where it kind of stops getting stronger. When I do it during meditation it will last for about 20-30 minutes if I don't get too eager to "try" to make it stay and just stick with the breath object. It does feel somewhat pleasurable and it definitely is interesting, but I am just wondering what is going on. I do seem to have a little bit more awareness on the object during this time than normal. It feels like I can just "grab" the breath and sit at the point of my nose with very very little to no effort at all.
The only thing I can say that I know will bring it on is if I go to short and shallow breathing for an extended period of time and if I focus on the object. Please I just need some help on what this is, whether I am being sidetracked and this is something I need to move past, or if it is something like access concentration. Not looking for exact answers, but if someone has had this experience and could help me it would be very much appreciated.
The only other time this has happened is during a job interview. Same feeling, but it seemed to come on without warning. My head starts to swim, then there is a buzz, and then "whoosh" I am looking at the person but I feel as if I am in the air and leaning to the right. This has been going on for quite a while now. I would say about 3 years ago even before I started meditating.
Thanks if advance! Much metta to all!

Have you ever watched an infant play? I've had the joy and fascination of watching my little niece play these past couple of months: learning to lift her head, to roll over, to sit up on her own, to lean and reach for her most beloved toy, to push her self back up.
At first the learning does not seem like learning at all: the head flails, she gets stuck on her arm mid-roll, she topples over backward, or she does a face-plant into the beloved toy without the muscle strength to push herself back up. This phase seems more like failure, than learning.
But then one day, this phase gives way to the next. The muscles in her neck gain strength and the flailing stops. One day mid-roll she lifts the leg just right giving her the momentum she needs to pop over the "stuck" arm and complete the turn. One day leaning forward a bit too far, she stops her self and zips back to the upright position (the muscles pulling her back as if she is a little marionette attached to invisible strings) and she tries again. Of course, there is still some trial and error. Not every roll is successful and not every lean has a smooth recovery. Yet, she has tasted success and continues to have more of it. "Yes, this is what learning should look like", we say to ourselves.
And then, just days later, it seems as if she's known how to do these things all along: lift, sit, roll, lean, and reach. She moves on to new skills that will soon require baby proofing for a crawling toddler.
Some days I find myself a bit frustrated with the "pace" of my progress in Christ. Sometimes it feels like I'm flailing about and can't keep my head on straight. Some days I find myself stuck on a particular struggle without the momentum to push past. And I've had a face-plant or two of my own, crashing face first into old habits or hurts.
But God has been reminding me that this is a valid phase of learning. One day the flailing will give way to a new strength, my being stuck to a new freedom in Christ, the face-plants to a new eye for what to avoid and how to avoid it.
Children have the patience to learn. (Though perhaps they are lacking patience for other things like car rides and grocery checkout lines.) They don't know failure as failure (adults teach them that!); it is simply a phase of their learning. They have loving parents to pick them up, dust them off, wipe their tears . . . and cheer them on.
Today, may we all have faith and patience like a child. May we let our failures become phase-one of our learning and give way to the growth we long for. And may we allow our heavenly Father to pick us up, wipe our tears . . . and cheer us on.

WASHINGTON - Taxpayers have footed the bill for personal expenses, including body wash and dog vitamins, bought on behalf of Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife.
Records obtained by The Washington Post show the McDonnells billed the state for personal expenses that totaled less than $600. Among the expenses: a digestive system cleanse, sunscreen and sleep aids.
The Post reports the couple also reimbursed the state for more than $300 after an official who oversees spending at the Executive Mansion told the McDonnells taxpayers should not have paid for items, including deodorant and dry-cleaning for their children.
However, the McDonnells also have used state employees to run errands for their adult children, including picking up a pair of pants at a tailoring shop. And after reimbursing the state for the more than $300, the Post says the McDonnells continued to bill Virginians for items, such as nasal spray and vitamins.
It's not known whether taxpayers were fully paid back for personal items because the state released only 16 receipts after the Post requested records covering 3 1/2 years.
McDonnell spokesman Tucker Martin tells the Post the governor's administration "has adhered to precedent in reimbursing the state for items meant for personal use."
The report comes amid a federal probe into gifts given to the McDonnells. Authorities have questioned friends and associates of the governor about actions the governor and his wife took to promote a nutritional supplement by the company Star Scientific.
The McDonnells received gifts from the company's chief executive, but the governor has said the company received no special favors.
The former chef at the Executive Mansion -- who faces charges of stealing food from the kitchen -- also has alleged that McDonnell family members raided the mansion's liquor cabinet and that Maureen McDonnell gave away pots and pans from the mansion to her daughters, according to the Post.

Surrealism in chess – that's what Alex is painting on the 64 squares of the chessboard. But this is not just pure fantasy. You will discover that you really can unleash a novelty as early as the 3rd move – even in today's gladiatorial world of competitive chess!

This is the biography of Jose R. Capablanca, famous grandmaster of Chess, with 113 of his greatest games. The fame of the great Cuban Master Chess champion of the world from 1921 to 1927, is ample assurance that this superbly annotated collection of his choicest masterpieces is destined to take its place at once amongst the classics of Chess literature. The book contains many games which have hitherto not been available in book form. The qualities of simplicity and artistry for which Capablanca was famous for in his lifetime will be appreciated by every reader, whether he studies the games for the sheer pleasure of it, of for the purpose of increasing his playing strength.
The Immortal Games of Capablanca

Viking Edition
Chess Informant 119 Viking is largely dedicated to the newly crowned world champion, Magnus Carlsen. He's the emerging global brand and the new face of our beloved game. We offer exclusive Carlsen photos inside Chess Informant 119, but for the cover we preferred the symbolism of a sailing drakkar boat. This newest installment of the Informant is all about red and blue that one can connect with the Norwegian flag, perhaps as additional evidence that Vikings are back in fashion.

The games of Mikhail Botvinnik, world chess champion from 1948 to 1963, have been studied by players around the world for decades. But little has been written about Botvinnik himself. This book explores his unusual dual career--as a highly regarded scientist as well as the first truly professional chess player--as well as his complex relations with Soviet leaders, including Josef Stalin, his bitter rivalries, and his doomed effort to create the perfect chess-playing computer program. The book has more than 85 games, 127 diagrams, twelve photographs, a chronology of his life and career, a bibliography, an index of openings, an index of opponents, and a general index.

Every chess player who is serious about improving his game, should study the lessons of Aron Nimzowitsch (1886-1935). 'My System' (published in 1925) and 'Chess Praxis' (1928) had tremendous impact and made Nimzowitsch one of the most influential chess thinkers of the 20th century. His books continue to be printed, sold and read to this day. Reinhardt's collection starts where Nimzowitsch's second volume Chess Praxis ends. It offers a unique view of the chess world of the late 1920s and 1930s, its top tournaments and the state of theory.

Great Chess Victories and Defeats
In chess literature, there have only been a very few chess books that have immediately-and permanently-established themselves as classics. Lasker's Manual of Chess by Emanuel Lasker, Masters of the Chessboard by Richard Reti and Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual by Mark Dvoretsky are three that come to mind. There are of course others, among them My Best Games of Chess, 1908-1937 by the fourth world chess champion, Alexander Alekhine.

The Human Side of Chess
Is there any quality common in the world's greatest chess masters, any peculiarity which made them contestants upon that particular parti-coloured board and on no other? Is there, in other words, a chess-mind?

We report evidence from an experiment where a principal chooses an agent out of two to perform a task for a fixed compensation. The principal's payoff depends on the agent's ex-ante ability and on a non-contractible effort that the agent has to exert once employed. We find that a significant share of principals select the mediocre agent (i.e. the one with the lower ex-ante ability). When the principal is allowed to send a message, mediocre agents exert more effort than agents with the higher ability, and principals who chooses mediocre agents on average have a larger payoff than principals who select agents with higher ability. This difference in effort overcompensates the difference in ability. Mediocre agents reciprocate more than agents who have ex-ante higher ability when the principals are able to make them feeling indebted.

Full Size or Dwarf, These Conifers Look Great
Very few plants give the instant impact of conifers - or evergreens - as accents in the landscape. Their unique shapes and shades of green, gold, and silvery blue can be soft and subtle or bold and dramatic. They can be full-size or dwarf. Keep in mind that many dwarf conifers are very slow-growing and may take many years to reach their ultimate size. Here are some of the best.
