Emboldened by consumers demanding safer, sustainable products, Target Corp. has created environmental benchmarks for thousands of popular items — from baby lotion to dish detergent.
The Minneapolis-based retail giant says it's part of a broader plan to help consumers make smarter buying decisions.
Last month, Target began collecting information from vendors supplying about 7,500 products in the household cleaning, personal care, beauty and baby-care categories. Each product will be ranked on a 100-point scale based on the sustainability of its ingredients, label transparency and overall environmental impact. The higher the score, the better.
The rankings, which were two years in the making, will help Target decide what products to stock and where to place them. Eventually, consumers may have access to the rankings.
"Today, there is no consensus on what a more-sustainable product is, especially within these categories," said Kate Heiny, Target's senior group manager of sustainability. "Developing a product standard is the first step toward expanding the selection of sustainable product choices, and not just a subset of products that are called 'natural.' "
It's also a business decision for Target and could help its bottom line. Efforts like this are gaining traction largely because "conscious consumption" is going mainstream, according to Rob Rankin, vice president and director of brand development for Clarity Coverdale Fury, a Minneapolis-based marketing agency.
"The topic of health and sustainability has hit the tipping point; it has critical mass," Rankin said. "It's moved beyond the tree-huggers and Shirley MacLaine of the '70s."
Target has partnered with the consumer website GoodGuide to gather and evaluate the information provided by vendors such as Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson.
"Target is a very customer-focused company, so it's a great sign that they're hearing from their customers -- mainstream American consumers -- that they want safer, healthier and more-sustainable products," said Dara O'Rourke, GoodGuide's co-founder and chief sustainability officer.
Target isn't alone.
Last year, rival Wal-Mart rolled out its own sustainability index, which tracks the environmental impact of certain products. Wal-Mart claims the information helps buyers evaluate suppliers' goods, and targets select potentially harmful chemicals that will ultimately be reduced or eliminated from its product mix.
As of mid-September, Wal-Mart's index was applied across 200 product categories, affecting more than 1,000 suppliers. By year-end, the retailer said it will expand the index to 300 product categories, and as many as 5,000 suppliers.
"We've reached an acceleration point where we are moving from measurement to results," Wal-Mart CEO Mike Duke said last month.
A recent survey conducted by the agency with Mintel, a global research organization, found that 70 percent of U.S. adults are trying to make conscious decisions regarding health and wellness. Another 9 percent claim to be in control of their health and wellness already.
Rankin calls this muscular 70th percentile the "movable middle … they're looking for a way to take action. But they struggle; it's hard. They don't know what to buy. They ask themselves, 'Is this really healthy?' So if a retailer can facilitate change and help them out, the (retailer) stands to win."
The consumer wins, he said, because now "they don't have to comb through every nook and cranny of Target to do better. Target will do it for them."
But a 2012 report by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics indicates mainstream retailers have a ways to go in pressuring the $60 billion personal-care product industry to improve. The San Francisco-based advocacy group ranks Whole Foods, the natural and organic grocery-store chain, as the industry leader, with Target "showing potential." (Target says it will include cosmetics in its sustainable product standards next year.)

2:3 rivalry. Pride is competitive by nature and tries to lift a person above others, so promoting conflicts rather than harmony (vv. 2, 14; 1:27). By contrast, humility accepts a place of service, with concern for the needs and interests of others (v. 4). Love (v. 2) is essential for humility (1:9; 1 Cor. 13:4, 5).

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Credit unions already paid 2013 operating fees, so excess funds will offset 2014 operating budget, NCUA Board decides.
Trade associations are hopeful the NCUA will reduce its 2013 operating budget during its monthly board meeting July 25. While the board's open meeting agenda has not yet been released, historically the federal regulator makes mid-year adjustments to the operating budget and announces the annual corporate assessment rate in July.
Congressional budget passed this week didn't include 7.5% planned NCUA hike for employee pay and benefits.
Bank regulator budget compares with 6.1% budget hike for NCUA.
The NCUA Board voted at its Nov. 15 meeting to increase its fiscal year 2013 budget by 6.1% from that of fiscal year 2012. But it voted to leave other numbers associated with the budget, the overhead transfer rate and operating fee for federal credit unions, largely unchanged.
While credit unions seem to have dodged this lob for now, it did draw attention to the credit union tax exemption, which the banking lobby is sure to relish.
NAFCU and CUNA both spoke out Thursday against the new annual budget approved earlier in the day by the NCUA Board.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Fiscal year 2013 budget approved at $251.4 million, continuing string of annual spending increases.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The NCUA Board Tuesday approves adjustment to 2012 operating budget that will apply $2 million in savings to 2013 spending.
NAFCU CEO letter questions why FDIC can reduce its budget 15.4% while NCUA boosts its spending and adds staff.

Respond to Review of Tibits
by marybheine
Review: My sister and I were soaking wet from a very rainy day in London. We enjoyed our lunches very much. A large buffet of freshly prepared cold and hot dishes. The 2 chefs were constantly replacing the dishes with fresh food. The coconut peanut balls made from tofu, the marinated green beans, and red salad were wonderful. I could have just eaten that, and been quite satisfied. You pile what you want on your plate, and it is weighed. Our 2 plates and bottled water were 28 pounds. Not cheap, but a typical price to pay in an expensive city. A free piece of bread is included with your meal. Lovely decor inside. Extremely friendly staff. Would definitely return to this restaurant. I've been to the one in Zurich, Switzerland as well.

New approach to preparing teachers can close student achievement gap
Public schools are increasingly moving toward a system known as the PreK-3rd approach, in which pre-kindergartens, full-day kindergartens, and primary grades are organized as a coordinated system of education. According to a Penn State researcher, the approach is lauded as a way to help solve the problem of the achievement gap. "The PreK-3rd vision is […] … learn more→

We were amazed at the production! The Fox and the Evening with Quincy Jones &
Friends was unbelievable. Having the 100th Anniversary of the Cancer Society celebration was icing on the cake! At first I thought it was going to be too loud (we were
in the back of the Orchestra) but later it was great. The young man who played the piano
was a little too loud and it was the same banging noise for we felt way too long. Mr. Jones is such an icon and truly special to hear all his words of wisdom last night as well
as his orchestrating! Loved it and even had my 86 year old mother with us!

ALBANY -- The Albany Tech men's basketball team had to find replacements for outgoing sophomores Wilbur Lake, Dominique Polite and Waylon Jones.
Titans coach Sylvester Patterson on Wednesday felt he made significant progress toward that goal. His signing class increased to six after signing Dermund Stewart, Triquenski Hicks, Andrew Reason, Mike Cofield and Tristan Delaney.
"I feel we addressed a lot of needs for our team," Patterson said. "One of our players, Patrick Lewis, played a big part in leading his high school team to the Mississippi state tourney. He was one of those under the radar. We are extremely lucky to sign him."
Another player Patterson cited with potential is Andrew Reason from Turner Job Corps.
"He's a really good athlete and can move to the No. 3 position, even," Patterson said. "I don't know if he can handle the ball as well as Dominique could, but he can really shoot the basketball."
And although Lake will sign with Albany State at 3 p.m. today, Patterson said he feels that Stewart -- another former Turner Job Corps standout -- can fill his shoes. Jones, meanwhile, already has signed with Southeast Missouri State.
"He's a really good shooter," Patterson said of Stewart. "He lit it up when we went to see him play at Turner. We have kept our eye on him, and he hasn't disappointed us."

Brandon Weeden isn't your typical college quarterback. He's 28 years old and playing college football after a failed professional baseball career. At 28, Weeden is actually older than eight of the quarterbacks who will be starting in the NFL playoffs. He's also a married man, and his wife Melanie was in attendance for the Fiesta Bowl to cheer on her hubby.
The reaction you see above came when Weeden scored his first career rushing touchdown. It's something Cowboys fans have never seen, so that explains the surprised look on Melanie's face. Here are a few more pics:

Opening Event at Cape Town Stadium
Posted by Dissol in Cape Town Stadium , Accessibility , 2010
I blogged from the opening event from the Nelson Mandela Multipurpose Stadium in PE. Tomorrow, I shall try to do the same from the Cape Town Stadium at Greenpoint. It is the opening event Santos vs Ajax Cape Town. Tickets were limited to 20,000 - but no surprise, all sold out!
We have to have a minimum of 3 events at each stadium. This is the first, the second will be a rugby match - WP vs Boland, which will be restricted to 40,000. Then the final event will be a 50,000 seat prayer session with some TV televangelist...
I'll try to take my camera tomorrow, but may end up watching the game from the security offices (this is the best place often to check on pedestrian flows).
I think tomorrow should be interesting - this is the order of events (OK, there are two features on the list that do nothing for me...) :

Everytime I go into Elections and try to click on anything it freezes and doesn't go anywhere's. I get the spinning wheel of death and that's it. I can not get the game to work for me and it's been about a week now. I've tried contacting Tagged about it but they just say to update my mozilla fox which didn't help. What else can I do? Does anyone have any suggestions besides giving up on playing Elections?

Crime, courts and legal issues in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin
Seatbelt citations jumped in 2009
Citations for driving without a seatbelt increased more than 60% for the second half of 2009, compared to the same period a year before, after lawmakers made the law easier to enforce.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports that state highway officials see the numbers as a disturbing sign that many people still don't recognize the added safety of wearing the belts.
Starting July 1, police could stop a motorist solely for not having a seatbelt on. Prior to the change, drivers could only be cited for not being buckled in if police stopped them for some other reason

Art community site redesigned
Hi ALL,
I started my own artist community site a few weeks ago - it is NOT a forum so I hope the moderators/admins won't look at me as their competition
I'm not a pro designer (I'm more a PHP coder) so my friend did the design for me. As time went by, I was thinking about to replace the old layout of the site and did it myself at the end.
I'd like you guys to tell me some pro's and contras : which one is better, how do you like it, critics are welcome.
Old layout

Thank you advanced. Your replies are highly appreciated.

add some style to the background , do a better banner, change those orange borders on the right to a full orange shape with white text on.
check for better fonts( these fonts are kind of too small and give a boring sense of taste )
and check up on the colour scheme.
and the logo kinda puts me off, something about it just seems weird, might want to redo that logo.

APNewsBreak: Nearly 1 in 4 fails military exam
MIAMI Nearly one-fourth of the students who try to join the U.S. Army fail its entrance exam, painting a grim picture of an education system that produces graduates who can't answer basic math, science and reading questions, according to a new study released Tuesday.
The report by The Education Trust bolsters a growing worry among military and education leaders that the pool of young people qualified for military service will grow too small.
"Too many of our high school students are not graduating ready to begin college or a career - and many are not eligible to serve in our armed forces," U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan told the AP. "I am deeply troubled by the national security burden created by America's underperforming education system."
The effect of the low eligibility rate might not be noticeable now - the Department of Defense says it is meeting its recruitment goals - but that could change as the economy improves, said retired Navy Rear Admiral Jamie Barnett.
"If you can't get the people that you need, there's a potential for a decline in your readiness," said Barnett, who is part of the group Mission: Readiness, a coalition of retired military leaders working to bring awareness to the high ineligibility rates.
The report by The Education Trust found that 23 percent of recent high school graduates don't get the minimum score needed on the enlistment test to join any branch of the military. Questions are often basic, such as: "If 2 plus x equals 4, what is the value of x?"
The military exam results are also worrisome because the test is given to a limited pool of people: Pentagon data shows that 75 percent of those aged 17 to 24 don't even qualify to take the test because they are physically unfit, have a criminal record or didn't graduate high school.
Educators expressed dismay that so many high school graduates are unable to pass a test of basic skills.
"It's surprising and shocking that we are still having students who are walking across the stage who really don't deserve to be and haven't earned that right," said Tim Callahan with the Professional Association of Georgia Educators, a group that represents more than 80,000 educators.
Kenneth Jackson, 19, of Miami, enlisted in the Army after graduating from high school. He said passing the entrance exam is easy for those who paid attention in school, but blamed the education system for why more recruits aren't able to pass the test.
"The classes need to be tougher because people aren't learning enough," Jackson said.
This is the first time that the U.S. Army has released this test data publicly, said Amy Wilkins of The Education Trust, a Washington, D.C.-based children's advocacy group. The study examined the scores of nearly 350,000 high school graduates, ages 17 to 20, who took the ASVAB exam between 2004 and 2009. About half of the applicants went on to join the Army.
Recruits must score at least a 31 out of 99 on the first stage of the three-hour test to get into the Army. The Marines, Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard recruits need higher scores.

Anyone else ever have flashbacks?
My daughter recently had pneumonia. We visited her doc, got her on antibiotics, and she got well.
Then End.
Except, not so much.
She was better, but after a few days of "being well" she started coughing again. And something about that cough just made my worry-center go into overdrive.
I'm not the type of Mommy who runs to the doctor at every little thing. In fact, I'm more like the Mommy who keeps…

Ilya Bryzgalov has been invited to Wild training camp on a pro tryout. He's expected to be on the ice when camp opens Friday.
This brings the number of players invited to camp to 57.
Today, the Minnesota Wild was on the ice for the final day of informal captains' practices. While scrimmaging against your teammates is fun, the real good time happened yesterday at the team's corporate golf outing at Troy Burne Golf Club.
Hockey players are known to be good golfers, and throw in their competitive nature, the scores would be low and close. However, no one could've guessed that the round would end in three teams tying with scores of 57 (par is 71).
According to sources, there was some confusion as to what constituted as the tiebreaker. The team that included Matt Cooke and Wild owner Craig Leipold ended up in first place. Not a shocker: the ruling, in favor of the veteran and Wild's big boss, went undisputed.
"We had a good group of guys," Jason Pominville said. "The golfing was okay, nothing crazy, but we had a lot of fun."
When we asked Pominville who the worst golfer on the team was, he responded, "We're asking those kind of questions?" with a smile before recognizing Mikael Granlund. Even if the Finn isn't the most adept player on the team with a sand wedge, he dressed the part, decked out in Iron Range Red. The Lighthouse asked Pominville a follow up: if he looked like the Kool Aid Man? This elicited no response.
The day was all in good fun, even for those who are much better with hockey sticks than golf clubs. Admittedly not much of a golfer, Coyle approached the round like he does everything, with a smile on his face.
"It was a fun day, it was perfect out, but our team came in last," Coyle lamented. He quickly took turned more optimistic, "But we're working towards next year."

Coyle, Spurgeon and Pominville
Vanek and Scandella
There were some positives (besides their score) for Coyle. The team was awarded gift certificates for their subpar (or was it over par?) efforts.
"It's probably for some golf tips or something we need," Coyle cracked.
WildTV sent a motion picture camera to capture the action and fans can keep an eye out for a Becoming Wild webisode from the event.
This is a good time to remind everyone the groundbreaking series, Becoming Wild, presented by Toyota, returns to FOX Sports North for its fourth season. Episode 1 will follow Jonas Brodin to his native Sweden and air on Friday, Sept. 19 after Twins coverage on FSN.
Jared Spurgeon was partnered up with Brodin during the tourney at Troy Burne.
"We put together a couple of good shots," Spurgeon said. "It was a nice day to get out there and play an awesome course and it was a lot of fun."
Unfortunately, the House bricked and failed to ask Spurgeon about Brodin's skills on the links. Spurgeon will be featured in a Becoming Wild episode on Tuesday, Nov. 4 after Minnesota's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
A WildTV video featuring the Coyle, Pominville and Spurgeon interviews can be found here.

It is filled with all kinds of tidbits about your favorite Wild players. Memorize it and you might just know as much about the Wild as the Lighthouse.
Park Smart
Speaking of training camp, if you're planning on attending the Wild's Open Practice on Saturday, Sept. 20, there will be a lot of events happening that day. For tips on parking in Saint Paul that day, go here.
Two Wild players had exciting summers, albeit for very different reasons. Both experienced life-changing events, which also signified where they are in their respective lifetimes.
Wild Captain Mikko Koivu, 31, got married back in his native Finland. Meanwhile, Nino Niederreiter, 22, was put on the cover of EA SPORTS' NHL 15 in his native Switzerland.
"It was a fun time for myself and my family and friends," Koivu said. "There was a lot of planning…the first half of the summer was a little busier."
Koivu said that there are a few differences in a Finnish wedding, but things are pretty much the same as here: church and reception afterwards. After the wedding bliss, it was back to work.
"After (the wedding) it was the usual," Koivu said.
The usual consists of the typical hockey player's offseason regiment of working out, conditioning and on-ice skill work. Of course, Koivu's home life this offseason was a little different, he and his wife, Helena, had a baby girl last year during season. With his new family in tow, he's ready to start Wild training camp and the 2014-15 regular season.
"The last week or two, it's a lot of waiting, and mentally you'd like to get there already," Koivu said. "We're excited and can't wait to get it going."
For Niederreiter, he exchanged wedding photos for another kind of glamour shot, as the cover boy on the Swiss release of NHL 15.
"It was a great honor," Niederreiter said. "Mark Streit was on the cover and then Roman Josi and now I'm fortunate enough to be on the cover.
"It's a cool thing."
Niederreiter said he's played the game a few times, but he's not a video-game fanatic. He prefers to spend his time outdoors, and coming from the Swiss Alps (yes, the Lighthouse has seen The Sound of Music), who can blame him?
Clearly, the video game cover was a thrill for him, but the bigger event came with re-signing with Minnesota. On Sept. 11, the Wild and Niederreiter came to terms on a three-year contract.
"It was a long summer with a lot of thinking and going back and forth, but at the end of the day I'm very happy the deal got done and I'm happy to be here," Niederreiter said.
After showing significant signs of potential during the regular season and a breakout playoff performance, including the series-clinching goal in Game 7 in the first round against the Colorado Avalanche, Niederreiter wants to build on his first year in the State of Hockey.
"I'm still very young and I still have to learn a lot about League and about the team," Niederreiter said. "So I'm (going into camp) to make a new impression and play my best hockey.
"I feel like every year, the longer you play in the League, the more you have to improve yourself. This year is very important for me. I feel like I had a good season last year, but this year I want to make it a great season."
After a couple of weeks skating at Braemar Arena, the Minnesota Wild clicked the heels of its ruby slippers and returned home to Xcel Energy Center today for an informal captains' practice.
With Wild Training Camp, presented by Andersen Windows, opening on Friday, the club skated in a split session today. After a first half of flow drills and in-zone two-on-two and three-on-three play, the Zamboni cleared the ice for a dominating performance from a familiar line.
Wearing green, the trio of Zach Parise, Jason Pominville and Mikael Granlund looked like it hadn't taken any time off, scoring several goals on pretty plays during the scrimmage. Sure, there was limited contact and guys are still shaking the summer rust off, but it was a joy to watch the three working together.
The Lighthouse saw four goals from the line (we might've been texting and missed one) all coming from transition and rushes.
Pominville was on the receiving end of a Parise entry pass, and redirected the puck on grey goaltender, John Curry. The netminder made the initial save, but Pominville stopped in front of the net, pulled the puck out of Curry's pads and popped a backhander in.
A few minutes later, Granlund skated the puck deep into grey's zone and whipped a no-look pass to Pominville in the high slot. The wing coasted between the hash marks and moved the puck to Parise on the backdoor. Money.
Pominville picked up his second of the scrimmage, one-timing home a pass from Parise, who was stationed behind the net.
The line closed out the game, this time Granlund finishing the play. Initially, Granlund set up Parise for an open one-timer, but Curry made a diving glove save sliding right to left. The wing stayed with the action, passing to Pominville who found Granlund open for a chip shot over Curry.
"They couldn't contain us today out there, I guess," Parise laughed. "We found ourselves in a couple of mismatches today against Haula's line.
"It was pretty easy actually."
Of course, Haula had the misfortune of walking by when the Lighthouse was talking to the Wild assistant captain, so he was the target of the ribbing. Wild fans hope that the ribbing will proceed through Training Camp and into Opening Night against the Colorado Avalanche on Oct. 9.
View a photo gallery of today's practice, here.
WildTV also spoke to Kyle Brodziak, Matt Cooke and Jason Zucker about the upcoming season. Check out the vids: Cooke, Brodziak and Zucker.
Following his first season with the Minnesota Wild, forward Nino Niederreiter will grace the cover of the Swiss version of EA SPORTS NHL 15.
Niederreiter has had plenty of fan fair in his native country, especially after representing Switzerland at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. He is also the highest-drafted Swiss-born player ever, selected fifth overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Of course, fans in the State of Hockey will always remember him for last year's series-clinching Game 7 overtime goal in the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Colorado Avalanche.
Now, he'll be remembered as the NHL 15 cover boy. Thanks to the generosity of EA Sports, you can download PDF covers for PS3, PS4, XBOX 360 and XBOX One.
On the first day of the Minnesota Wild's informal captain's practice, 21 players were on the ice at Braemar Arena.
Wild Head Coach Mike Yeo lives the game of hockey. However, when the bench boss is away from the rink, his favorite pastime is fishing. On Tuesday, Sept. 9, he will trade in his coaching hat for an anglers cap, as he hosts the inaugural Mike Yeo Classic, a fishing tournament which will raise money for the Miracles of Mitch Foundation and Angel Foundation. The event is in partnership with Gander Mountain and is a springboard for a larger event in 2015.
Six boats will launch on Lake Minnetonka in the morning and conclude with a weigh-in in the afternoon. Wild players Erik Haula, Keith Ballard, Kyle Brodziak, Matt Cooke and Justin Fontaine are set to participate in the tourney.
Wild goaltender Josh Harding's battle with Multiple Sclerosis has been an inspiration for those afflicted with the disease and the hockey world. In 2013, his perseverance was recognized, as he won the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for his dedication to hockey.
Today, Upper Deck announced that Harding will be honored with a "Heroic Inspirations" collectable trading card.
The Minnesota State Fair is a blur of deep-fried goodness, live events, mixed with a carnival atmosphere, providing a glimpse at all things that make the Land of 10,000 Lakes a unique place to call home.
Wild Head Coach Mike Yeo got a first-hand look at the Great Minnesota Get-together, making five stops at media booths, including KFAN 100.3 FM, 1500 ESPN, the Star Tribune, Cities 97 and 105.1 FM The Ticket. One might've grown dizzy following him around all day, but our social media team shined it on (enjoying idyllic Fair weather while the Lighthouse was stuck in the office all day) and posted an Instagram vid of the bench boss making multiple stops:
Of course it wasn't all business for the club's bench boss, as he planned on partaking in another State Fair tradition: over-eating.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is asking the public for information on the identity of a suspect in an East Anchorage bank robbery Wednesday morning.
Just after 10:30 a.m., a teller at the First National Bank Alaska at 5305 Norther Lights boulevard was approached by a white male, who "displayed a gun, presented a note, which demanded money and stated that he was armed." After stealing an undisclosed amount of money, the suspect is believed to have fled on foot through the Value Village parking lot.
The suspect is believed to be in his late 20's to early 30's, between 5'4" and 5'7" tall, with a medium build. At the time of the incident, he attempted to disguise himself himself with a black shoulder-length wig, and facial hair authorities believe may have been dirt or cosmetics. He was also wearing a "Portland" baseball cap, a black hooded jacket, black pants, and Van tennis shoes.
Anyone with information on his identity or whereabouts is asked to call the FBI at (907) 276-4441, or Anchorage Police at (907) 786-8900.

Updated : 19th November 2014
With the recent release of Laravel 4, PHP developers have at their disposal one of the finest frameworks for application development. As with all new frameworks, it is always good to write some quick code to get a feel for the underlying architecture. The following post shows a simple authentication application using Laravel.
Laravel 4 uses Composer for dependency management as the framework itself depends on a number of external packages to function correctly. Each of the components used by Laravel 4 is available individually on the Illuminate GitHub repository. Laravel 4 ties together the Illuminate components to create the framework. Some of the other packages Laravel 4 uses are – Doctrine, Monolog, Symfony, Predis.
If you are new to Composer you can read all about it here. Windows users have a nice installable package available.
Our application will only have a login form and a simple admin page that requires authentication. Initially we will code the entire controller login in the route itself.
First you need to create a database for your Laravel application and update the
app/config/database.php file with the database credentials.
'default' => 'mysql', 'mysql' => array( 'driver' => 'mysql', 'host' => 'localhost', 'database' => 'your_database_name', 'username' => 'your_database_username', 'password' => 'your_database_password', 'charset' => 'utf8', 'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci', 'prefix' => '', ),
Next insert the following 'user' table in your new database. The SQL also includes a sample row with a username an password.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` ( `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `username` varchar(128) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL, `password` varchar(64) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL, `remember_token` varchar(100) collate utf8_unicode_ci default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci; /*!40000 ALTER TABLE `users` DISABLE KEYS */; INSERT INTO `users` (`id`, `username`, `password`, `remember_token`) VALUES (1, 'admin', '$2y$10$3T5VWug6d3KdLh1.l8J2x.8WMAjZ3tPxACvpUb7XToWQoFgjjEGWi', '');
Next we need to configure the
app/config/auth.php settings. This contains some standard authentication options for your application. Note that the user authentication table is called 'users', same as the table name above, but you can change that to anything you like as long you also change the corresponding table name in the database. Also we will be using the 'database' driver instead of 'eloquent'.
<?php return array( /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Default Authentication Driver |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | This option controls the authentication driver that will be utilized. | This drivers manages the retrieval and authentication of the users | attempting to get access to protected areas of your application. | | Supported: "database", "eloquent" | */ 'driver' => 'database', /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Authentication Model |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | When using the "Eloquent" authentication driver, we need to know which | Eloquent model should be used to retrieve your users. Of course, it | is often just the "User" model but you may use whatever you like. | */ 'model' => 'User', /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Authentication Table |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | When using the "Database" authentication driver, we need to know which | table should be used to retrieve your users. We have chosen a basic | default value but you may easily change it to any table you like. | */ 'table' => 'users', /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Password Reminder Settings |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Here you may set the settings for password reminders, including a view | that should be used as your password reminder e-mail. You will also | be able to set the name of the table that holds the reset tokens. | */ 'reminder' => array( 'email' => 'emails.auth.reminder', 'table' => 'password_reminders', ), );
First we will design a simple login form view to be displayed for the login action.
Laravel comes with the blade templating engine, but for this post we will go with the standard HTML markup. If our domain is
mysite.com, the below login form will be visible at
mysite.com/login. Upload the loginForm.php file to the
app/views directory.
The username and password for the login form is 'admin'.
 <!DOCTYPE HTML>   <title>Simple Login Form in Laravel</title> <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <?php echo HTML::style('css/reset.css'); echo HTML::style('css/structure.css'); ?>   <?php echo Form::open(array('url' => '/login', 'class' => 'box login')); ?> <fieldset class="boxBody"> Username <input type="text" tabindex="1" name="username" required>  Forget your password?Password  <input type="password" name="password" tabindex="2" required> </fieldset>  <input type="checkbox" name="persist" tabindex="3">Remember me <input type="submit" class="btnLogin" value="Login" tabindex="4">  </form>
We import the stylesheets using the HTML helper class. The css files are stored in the
public/css directory. Next we open the form using the Form::open method. The
Form::open method can take additional parameters. Here we are specifying that the form should be posted to the
/login url and also that the css 'box' and 'login' classes be applied to the form.
Form::open(array('url' => '/login', 'class' => 'box login'));
The route for the above login view is given below. This will display the login form when a GET request is made to the
mysite.com/login url.
#app/routes.php Route::get('login', function() { return View::make('loginForm'); });
Our applications admin view is a simple HTML page that displays a message along with a logout link. The admin page is visible at
mysite.com/admin. At this point we can access the admin page without authentication. Later we will add the code to make sure that only authenticated users can view this page.
 <!DOCTYPE html>  <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Admin</title>
Hello Admin!
 Logout
The route for the above admin view is given below.
#app/routes.php Route::get('admin', function() { return View::make('adminPage'); });
Next we will define the authentication logic in the route itself rather than a separate controller. Although for smaller applications this will work fine, for larger ones it is advisable to define a separate controller. As our login form will be submitted using the POST method, we need to define our authentication logic in a POST route. Note that the logic in routes are defined using anonymous functions.
#app/routes.php Route::post('login', function() { /* Get the login form data using the 'Input' class */ $userdata = array( 'username' => Input::get('username'), 'password' => Input::get('password') ); /* Try to authenticate the credentials */ if(Auth::attempt($userdata)) { // we are now logged in, go to admin return Redirect::to('admin'); } else { return Redirect::to('login'); } });
At this point whenever the user is correctly authenticated they are redirected to the 'admin' page. However at present we can also view the 'admin' page without any authentication.
Laravel offers a easy facility to remember logged in users. If you would like to provide "remember me" functionality in your application, you may pass true as the second argument to the
attempt method, which will keep the user authenticated indefinitely (or until they manually logout).
if(Auth::attempt($userdata, true)) { ..
For that we need to see if the 'Remember Me' checkbox is selected during login. As our checkbox is named 'persist' the code for the same is given below.
if(Input::get('persist') == 'on') $isAuth = Auth::attempt($userdata, true); else $isAuth = Auth::attempt($userdata);
Note: Make sure that 'expire_on_close' is set to true in 'config/session.php'.
'expire_on_close' => true,
To test the 'Remember Me' feature, close and reopen the browser and open the login page. You should see the admin page with the '"Logged in via Remember Me" string.
Lastly we will define a route for the home page that will just display a simple text message.
#app/routes.php Route::get('/', function() { return "Welcome Home"; });
We can easily restrict 'admin' page access in our routes using filters. Route filters provide a convenient way of limiting access to a given route, which is useful for creating pages of your site which require authentication. There are several filters included in the Laravel framework, an auth filter, auth.basic filter, a guest filter, and a csrf filter. These are located in the
app/filters.php file. We can also define our very own custom filters. In our example we will use the in-built 'auth' filter. This instrcuts the route to apply the auth filter before displaying the
'admin' page.
Route::get('admin', array('before' => 'auth', function() { return View::make('adminPage'); }));
You can find the 'auth' filter defined in
Route::filter('auth', function() { if (Auth::guest()) return Redirect::guest('login'); });
Laravel filters provide a powerful and flexible way to process requests and will help you immensely while developing complex request scenarios.
To complete the application here is the logout route.
Route::get('logout', function() { Auth::logout(); return Redirect::to('login'); });
The complete
routes.php is shown below.
<?php <?php /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Application Routes |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Here is where you can register all of the routes for an application. | It's a breeze. Simply tell Laravel the URIs it should respond to | and give it the Closure to execute when that URI is requested. | */ Route::get('/', function() { return "Welcome Home"; }); /* Show the 'Admin' page but make sure one is authenticated first. */ Route::get('admin', array('before' => 'auth', function() { return View::make('adminPage'); })); /* Show the 'Login' page */ Route::get('login', function() { /* Run a authentication check to see if we are already logged in */ if (Auth::check()) { /* Is this login via a 'Remember Me' method */ if (Auth::viaRemember()) { /* If yes ,pass a variable to the 'admin' page */ return Redirect::to('admin')->with('rememberMe', 1); } else { return Redirect::to('admin'); } } else { return View::make('loginForm'); } }); /* Logout the user, and redirect to the 'Login' screen */ Route::get('logout', function() { Auth::logout(); return Redirect::to('login'); }); /* Process the login request */ Route::post('login', function() { $userdata = array( 'username' => Input::get('username'), 'password' => Input::get('password') ); /* Check if 'Remember Me' is checked */ if(Input::get('persist') == 'on') $isAuth = Auth::attempt($userdata, true); else $isAuth = Auth::attempt($userdata); if($isAuth) { // we are now logged in, go to admin return Redirect::to('admin'); } else { return Redirect::to('login'); } });
In the routes.php file define the 'login' route as below. The second parameter, 'UserLogin@user', consists of the controller name followed by the method we want to run.
Route::post('login', 'UserLogin@user');
As you can see it is very easy to use a controller within a route. This post has only scratched the surface with what Laravel has to offer. In coming posts we will look into various features mentioned here in detail. I've included the css files required for the login form below. Copy them to your Laravel
/public/css folder.

PHPDeveloper.org: Sameer Borate: Simple user authentication in Laravel 4
[…] Borate has a new post today showing how you can do simple user authentication in a Laravel 4-based application using the built-in Auth […]
Thanks for helpful post !
Unfortunatelly in reality we cant allways follow framework assumptions.
Suppose we have users table with name UserTable and it have username and password fields named UserName and PassValue. What and where I must change in your example to work with that table ? I tried but stacked with errors Udefined index:password or Undefined index:username.
I searched other login examples but all of them use users table with username and password fileds.
Thanks in advance.
You can change the users table name in the 'app/config/auth.php' file as mentioned in the post.
Sameer, I changed table name in auth.php. Also driver is 'database', not 'eloguent'.
As in my table I do not have fields named 'username' and 'password' I also changed field names in file app\controllers\UserLogin.php.
After that I receiver error Undefined index:password from C:\xampp\htdocs\laravel4\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Auth\DatabaseUserProvider.php . It is somethere deep in framework.
It looks like I must have fields named 'username' and 'password' in my table, or it can be overcomed in some other way ?
Laravel expects the password field to be named 'password',while you can name the username field to anything you want. Of course you could extend the auth model to accept your custom fields, but that would be a unnecessary hassle for a small issue.
you just have to use a protected $guarded = array("whatever") property in your model. in the credentals you still look for password but laravel will chek the whatever field
Thanks for the article.
Could you tell me what the unhashed password is ?
INSERT INTO `users` (`id`, `username`, `password`) VALUES
(1, 'Laravel', '$2y$08$XmdaKIivCTTdLwToVCii4Obk.699DQTLFAbw62wcJToRqL2Q4PiA2′);
Many Thanks
This is nice… but you didn't give the actual password nor how to create a new admin user.
Update password in your database to : $2y$10$6GJRcXsqtXZkss5zxCky6uhCCNtxrUiih2KeQJomc9V2R1rDqvGGW
New password is : admin
Sorry for my english
//Generate password by method : Hash::make('myPassword');
