The Return of a King: The Battle for Afghanistan, By William Dalrymple
Both a ripping yarn and a warning from history, an epic of a past débâcle echoes through the present
Friday 01 February 2013
William Dalrymple is a master storyteller, who breathes such passion, vivacity and animation into the historical characters of the First Anglo-Afghan war of 1839-42 that at the end of this 567-page book you feel you have marched, fought, dined and plotted with them all. I found myself so missing the company of doughty old Lady Sale, dashing Akbar Khan, waspish Emily Eden, the sexy devil-may-care Scottish spy Alexander Burnes and his all-knowing Kashmiri secretary Mohan Lal, that once I had finished I turned straight back to the beginning.
This also allowed me to re-read the author's skittish and flirtatious acknowledgements back-to-back with the strategic gravitas of Dalrymple's concluding chapter. Return of a King is not just an animated and highly literate retelling of a chapter of early 19th-century British military history, but also a determined attempt to reach out and influence the politicians and policy-makers of our modern world. The parallels between the disastrous British occupation of Afghanistan in 1839, and the post 9/11 occupation of Afghanistan by the US and some of its NATO allies, are so insistent that they begin to sound like the chorus of a Greek tragedy.
To take some of the most telling examples: the site of the British cantonment outside Kabul in 1839 is now occupied by the US Embassy and NATO barracks; both Dost Muhammad in the 19th century and Mullah Omar in the 20th century sought to give themselves political legitimacy by proclaiming Jihad and by physically wrapping themselves in the mantle of the Prophet held in a sanctuary at Kandahar; the current President of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, and the British-supported Shah Shuja come not only from the same tribe but from the very same clan, the Popalzai, while the infamous leader of the world-threatening Islamist Taliban, Mullah Omar, hails from the same traditional leadership clan (the Hotak) of the Ghilzai tribe which formed the backbone to the resistance in 1841.
Perhaps most tellingly of all, we have exactly the same misguided habit of allowing intellectual desk-bound policy-makers to overrule local expertise, the same bureaucratic massaging of factual reports into dodgy dossiers, and exactly the same refrain touted back in the 1830 (by one John McNeil) - "he who is not with us is against us" – as later used by President Bush.
But it would undersell Return of a King to frame it is as just a cleverly camouflaged political and diplomatic lecture, with a consistent theme of "Bring our boys back". Although the 19th-century British invasion of Afghanistan was a complete, abysmal and expensive failure, it did have very important consequences that helped form the world today.
First, the destruction of a British Army of the Indus as it left Kabul is described by Dalrymple as the combined "Waterloo, Trafalgar and Battle of Britain" that gave Afghanistan its national identity and self-esteem. In my own experience with some of the wounded Mujihadeen who fought the Russians, I can confirm with what pride Afghans of all ethnicities recalled this victory and delighted in telling you which ancestors had fought there, as well as asking about yours, and knowing by heart the names of all the principal British generals and politicians.
Secondly, it forged the very concept of Afghanistan as a separate, Islamic nation dominated by an alliance of Pathan tribes ruling from Kabul. Before the British invasion, the prevailing concept was of Khorassan, a culturally Persian empire of disparate peoples that looked to the Central Asian empire of Timur and the Mughal empire of Babur for its references.
Dalrymple has unearthed new documents that go to show how strongly Afghan tribes and cities were wedded to their dynastic and cultural loyalties. Only a catastrophe on the scale of the British invasion helped break this and help forge a new identity. Thirdly, Dalrymple makes it clear that the bizarre political frontiers of our modern age were directly created in this period.
This war finally broke the unity of Khorassan which had embraced modern Afghanistan, the North-West Frontier province of Pakistan and Kashmir in one block of Highland culture; Peshawar was then the old winter capital of Kabul, not a border town.
On a more intimate level, Dalrymple's extensive researches have corrected a number of assertions. He shows us that although the British occupation of Afghanistan was a doomed long-term strategy (too far, too expensive, for no cogent reason), there was nothing inevitable about the military defeat. By taking us through the experiences of the victorious garrisons of the Army of the Indus that held on, at both Kandahar (under General Nott) and Jahalabad (under General Sale), we understand that it was only the combined idiocy and paralysis of Generals Shelton and Elphinstone that led to the catastrophe, even if the Afghan rifle had superior range and accuracy to the British musket.
In addition, Dalrymple reveals just how complicated and divided the Afghan political landscape was. He goes a long way to revive our sympathy for Shah Shujah, a Charles I-like figure of personal charm and decency, without diminishing the character of his rival, Dost Muhammad. After hearing the many stories of murder, assassination and torture, it becomes obvious that there was absolutely no way that these two leaders, of the Sadozai and Barakzais dynasties, were ever going to make a united front. Most surprising is Dalrymple's discovery that the initial revolt against the British was not the work of a conspiracy of Jihadist Mullahs but a disgruntled band of Kabul-based ex-courtiers and royalists.
Time and time again, character, clan and chance, seem to dictate Afghan policy as much as any overreaching principle. So we find it was the godson of the Shah, overlooked in a round of recent honours and gifts of kaftans, who assassinated his old master in a fit of pique. It is this mastery of the intimate details, as well as the landscape and the grand rivalry between empires, with which Dalrymple wins our trust and keeps our interest.
There is no need for Flashman or Kim to flesh things out, for it is all here: be it Burnes dancing a reel on his dining-room table in Kabul, the Christmas meeting between two master spies on either side of the Russian and British Great Game, the gruesome rituals of Afridi vengeance on the bodies of their foes, or the lethal-sounding cocktail that Ranjit Singh, masterful one-eyed emperor of the Sikhs, shared with his guests while firing off a thousand intelligent, highly pertinent questions. He and Dalrymple would have got on famously.

The Grove's Got Some Growing Pains

You may have seen Sam Bush before: when he was in the New Grass Revival, when they were backing Leon Russell; when he was leading Emmylou Harris's backup band; when he was guesting with Béla Fleck and the Flecktones; or when he was a part of Lyle Lovett's Big Band. Bush comes from the bluegrass world, but his music is equally influenced by rock, jazz and blues. His main instrument is the mandolin, and he plays it like no other person who's ever picked one up; he can do all the basic bluegrass runs, but he adds an aggressive attack and an inventive approach to improvisation that invariably takes his solos on melodic flights of fancy. He's also a darn good fiddler and can play electric guitar as well.
If you see Bush's name in the credits on a CD -- and he gets plenty of session work -- you can be assured the album will be worth your time. But until now, the solo albums released under his own name have been a little disappointing. This changes with Ice Caps: Peaks of Telluride, a new live recording out on Sugar Hill Records that collects material recorded with a variety of musicians over the last 10 years of appearances at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. The album is the greatest single introduction to Sam Bush's work you can buy: It's got great songs by the likes of Bob Dylan, John Hiatt, Van Morrison, Bill Monroe and Little Feat, and Bush and his compatriots play their hearts out.
Though guest stars such as Fleck and Jerry Douglas aren't touring with Bush, the CD offers plenty of musical inducement for you to circle this event on your calendar: This concert is a chance to stand mere feet away from one of the world's great musicians. Be prepared for an amazing experience.

7 Great Affirmations for the Unemployed (Today ONLY)
Posted Jun 09 2009 11:08pm
7 Great Affirmations for the Unemployed
With Practical Tips You Can Apply Today
By Paul & Tracey McManus,
Authors of
The 7 Great Prayers: For a Lifetime of Hope and Blessings
Lost jobs. Lost homes. Lost hope
It's in the headlines, it's on the news, and it's in our day-to-day conversations with people we care about: family, friends, co-workers, neighbors and people within our spiritual circles. When you're out of work, where do you turn when it seems nobody can help you or those you love?
For Tracey and I, and the thousands of people who visit our website everyday, we turn to a power greater than ourselves and we use affirmative prayers.
But what are affirmative prayers? How do you use them? And do they work?
The 7 Great Affirmations for the Unemployed
The following is our suggestion of how to use our 7 Great Affirmations to overcome job loss. We use the term God to mean the higher power of your understanding. These seven affirmations are the ones we and thousands of others have used to overcome unemployment and the negative emotions surrounding it.
1. Change Your Focus Give praise. Take your mind off your life's challenges and shift your focus toward good thoughts and attaining a new job.
Affirmation: I love you God and welcome you into my heart. Thank you for blessing me with a new job.
Tip: For many of your affirmations, affirm as though you have already been blessed with what you are asking for.
2. Put Yourself in a State of Gratitude
Take a moment and reflect on all the good things in your life and give thanks. Change your thinking from lack to thanks.
Affirmation: Thank you God, you give me power, comfort and strength while I find a new job.
Tip: Affirmations without taking action are just wishes. Take steps forward every day to find a new job and give thanks for everything during the day. There is nothing too small to give thanks for. For example, thank God for the beautiful day, a smile, a kind word, not to mention your health, family, etc.
3. Connect with Your Higher Power -- From Whom all Blessings Flow
Feel God's presence and know that God is within you right now, and that you are connected with God.
Affirmation: God, you are within me right now and you are helping me through my job search and helping me find the perfect job for me.
Tip: When using affirmations, don't beg. Instead, talk as though you are talking with your best friend. Talk and affirm positively, and know that you are loved.
4. It's Okay to Ask to Be Blessed with a New Job
God wants the very best for you . . . "whatever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive".
Affirmation: I am being led on the right path for me today for finding a new job, leaving all the details to God…I am blessed.
Tip: Some people believe for some reason they don't deserve blessings -- throw this idea out once and for all! You are a good person. You are loved. You deserve to be blessed, so ask to be blessed in prayer, believe you'll be blessed, and you will receive blessings!
5. Be on the Lookout for "Messengers" and Blessings
Be alert to messengers and events that have been sent your way to help you receive the blessings you desire, which includes helping you through the entire process of your re-employment.
Affirmation: God, because I see you everywhere, I easily recognize it when you are reaching out to bless me. I take continuous action and leave no stone unturned.
Tip: Set a goal. Have a clear picture of the job you want. Put your re-employment goals in writing. There are studies that report that those who put their goals in writing achieve dramatically better results than those who don't. So write down your re-employment affirmations in a journal along with your re-employment goals, and then take ACTION!
6. Bless and Love Others
"Love your neighbor as you would love yourself". When you are out of a job it's easy to feel very alone and isolated in your negative situation. Again, it's crucial that you maintain a positive mental attitude, and an easy way to do this is to say short, loving affirmations, blessing others.
Affirmation: I love and bless my family and friends. I love and bless all those who are in need of love, comfort and strength.
Tip: Decide to live in the now. Don't fret about the past, don't worry about the future. Don't go through your re-employment alone. Connect with family, friends, people you've worked with in the past, community services and your spiritual circle.
7. Use Your Talents
Whatever you put into the universe will come back to you ten-fold. You have special gifts. Reflect on these gifts and how they can help others. Be open to a completely different career; maybe a move to a new location. With every adversity there is the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
Affirmation: God, work through me now and help me do your good works. The more I help others, and do your good work, the more blessings I attract into my life.
Tip: While looking for a new job, stay active. Volunteer. Help others. It's the right thing to do and your volunteer work may very well connect you to a person or event that will help you become re-employed.

Continuing our series of polls which aim to canvass opinion on the smartphone world we've this week been looking at how important a camera is to our readers when choosing a new handset.
Having offered a number of options rather than a simple 'yes' or 'no', the survey returned some very surprising results. In a trend which seems to permeate most of our polls, there was no runaway winner, however, the answer which received the most votes in total indicated that smartphone consumers are not as interested in mobile photography as we may have first thought.
Alongside the usual poll on our blog we have also been running the same survey concurrently on the Dialaphone Facebook page. Placing the poll on our social media presence generated quite lot of interest and, interestingly, produced results which were radically different to those that emerged from the blog-based survey.
Firstly though, the surprising results from the blog poll. Of the four options presented, the one that received the most votes indicated that our readers rarely use the camera on their phone and do not consider it as a factor when buying a new device.
Whilst this option did garner the most responses, it is still a significant result and is very different to what we may have expected. Cameraphones are becoming more and more powerful, with Sony recently including a 13 megapixel sensor in its new flagship, the Xperia T, and Nokia introducing its PureView technology to its Lumia range with the Lumia 920.
PureView technology made its debut on the Nokia 808 PureView with its 41 megapixel sensor and while the handset may have been little more than a concept device it is still fascinating to see what Nokia managed to achieve.
The result is also surprising following the astronomical success of photo-sharing app Instagram. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Instagram-owners Facebook, has recently claimed that the app has over 100 million registered users, despite having been available for less than two years.
Taking second spot was a more positive result, with a good number of voters indicating that a smartphone's camera is a key consideration when buying a new device, but not the only one. This result is more in line with the sort of thing we would have expected to see, since imaging capabilities of smartphones are something which is often highlighted in the marketing surrounding a phone's launch.
However, whilst those buying a new handset may well be making their choice based on its camera there are many other options which can be considered. The operating system, physical form and appearance of the device itself, and the price, are all things we imagine many consumers will take into account before making what can be quite an expensive purchase.
Next in line was an answer which is quite similar to the previous one, with several voters indicating that they consider other factors when buying a phone but also think that a good camera is a bonus. Again, there are many things which people may take into account before spending money, with a device's photographic capabilities being just a part of that.
Lastly, there was a hardcore group who say they would buy a phone solely on the strength of its camera. One thing to remember here is that if buying a phone with excellent photographic capabilities it is going to be a high-end device which is at least very good in every other respect.
Contrary to this, the results of the poll that concurrently on Facebook suggested that few people completely disregarded a phone's camera when choosing a new handset.
While some of the respondents indicated that the camera would not be a major consideration, many said that it was one of the factors that they would consider. Seemingly, there is an overall majority of people who take several factors into account when buying a new smartphone, rather than just focussing on one of its features.
This is possibly due to the way in which the poll was presented, with Facebook being the world's most popular site for the sharing of photos. It would be even more surprising if a survey on the social network had returned results similar to those that the one on our blog did, and it's possible that each poll was completed by slightly different demographics.
What has been interesting is that the two sets of results have proved to be quite different. Whilst there is certainly a large group of people who take many factors into account when buying a new phone, there are others who disregard some of a phone's features almost completely.
The answers resulting from the poll on the Dialaphone blog were very surprising, while those that came from Facebook were more of what we would have expected to see. Overall, the results have been challenging, proving that the importance consumers put on a smartphone's camera (and its other features) can differ wildly from person to person.

Today is Mother's Day. Normally every year, my sister and I go to a local shop, and get our mom countless potting flowers for her to put throughout her beautiful gardens around the house. This is despite her telling us to not spend any money on her, because she doesn't need anything (a common occurrence for her birthday and christmas as well). Well this year, I can't do that because I am 5000 km away.

It was an amazing experience, to be driven around West Belfast by someone who's spent his whole life there, hearing firsthand about the Troubles. I learned so much more in an afternoon than I'd ...

A few more drinks later we decided to head up to the nightclub above, but we were the only ones there. We then decided to continue on to another bar, which was very busy with really good music.

Arriving back yesterday was like coming home, our house is nice, we popped down to our local kebab shop for dinner and then are enjoying the warmth and sun that is finally here. It really now has become our home and while we are going to be so happy to come back to Aus, it is nice that we are so comfortable here!

So there seems to be a common sentiment, in this post yesterday about Seth Bogart, that if you "can't see wiener" then it really "doesn't count."
I just wanted to quickly say, that sometimes SANS WIENER is best. And your own imagination is a powerful tool. Just watch this video by Tonetta, and I think you'll understand what I mean.

Maybe the hotel is nicer ...? The cabins don't have a refrigerator, only have one chair (tight for two) and lighting is nonexistent. You can hear each car cross the bridge and the wash basin is tiny. They are cute from the outside and we are right on the river but it is way over-priced for all the shortcomings. The... More

This is one of the nicest onsite BDR devices I have used. When picking out a BDR solution we looked at just about every vendor under the sun and this one has every feature and the price is spot on. We had to have off site replication, granular recovery, BMR, and instant recovery/failover and this does it all. I have had not so great experiences with Barracuda and actually pretty great experiences with Datto(price is just high and you have to go through a partner to buy one), but I have to say that the Unitrends devices definitely deliver. The price is really reasonable as they don't charge per system being backed up but only for the HW.
Also the UI is really smooth/responsive and setup is brainless. Support is also just a chat away in the interface or a phone call... and you get a live person(who would have thunk).
Jacob - It's so great to hear how happy you are with your Unitrends appliance. We know how crucial BDR is to an organization, especially being able to resolve issues quickly via support. Please let us know if there's anytime that we're not meeting your expectations. Thank you for taking the time to write this review!

They're value and income investments. When I look at Apple, I see the next General Electric (NYSE: GE). Except christian louboutin discount that right now, Apple sells for less than 1/3 the price you'll pay for GE on an adjusted enterprise value PE.. Before the game, a local neighbor belted out "The Star Spangled Banner." Soon after, 370 fans cheered Sam and his team on as they took the field while the opening theme from Rocky blared. Sam threw out the cheap michael kors bags first pitch, and the game was on. A local sports announcer called the action as donated snacks and drinks circled the stands..
I'm not saying that you should throw your flip flops away. I sure as heck have no intention of doing that. But when you know that you'll be walking a long distance or that the kids will be running with michael kors online outlet their friends for an extended period, consider having them take off the flip flops and put on proper athletic shoes so that their feet are getting the support they should, even if it's just a few times a week.
Paint. Now there's something you don't think about until you absolutely have to. For louboutin sale instance, you don't think about the paint on your car until it gets scratched and you have a choice of either leaving it or paying a body shop five months' rent to fix it.
Ease into it. Just as a marathon runner trains before a big race, you can do the same. Don't expect to wear those new shoes right out of the box. On top of this, music rights louboutin outlet in North America work differently than other countries. The cost is high and multiplies very quickly. As for streaming and download to own rights, these were not able to be negotiated at all and believe me, it was not for lack of trying..
Most discount shoes sold are those that come from old stock, but they are still of good michael kors outlet quality. There are popular shoe brands like Vans and Ecco shoes that usually hold warehouse sales every quarter. This is done mainly because there are upcoming new models or they are trying to clear out their stocks..
A lot of the poor kids just asked for stuff for their little brothers or sisters, because the mom had just been michael kors bags outlet laid off or their dad has been "too sad to work." In those cases we give their little sibling a present, and also picked one for them. It was really emotional stuff. But one of them hit me so hard, I still think about it to this day..
Best Buy (BBY) shares are trading at $24.52. Best Buy is a leading retailer of christian louboutin outlet electronics and is based in Minnesota.

Monotony is something we all contend with. The days and nights all feel the same, with the exception of a few unexpected diversions (both pleasant and unpleasant).
Following the same routine bores the mind and numbs the heart. So we try to break the routine and search for excitement wherever we can find it. We obsess over social media updates, or dream of an exotic vacation, or fantasize about winning the lottery … and all the things we can do.
But it doesn't have to be the case. We don't need to run away from our lives.
Instead of looking for the excitement in some abstract experience that may feel out of reach, why not look for the wonder and often ignored aspects of routine?
Life is full of surprises as it is—if we start to look at it differently. When we open up and see what life has to offer in this moment, the mundane can become something extraordinary.
This is not about finding a deeper meaning. It's about waking up.

Heineken kicks off global digital pitch
Heineken International is holding a global pitch to find an agency to create a new digital platform for its flagship beer brand.
Heineken: recent digital work includes 'crack the code', which promotes its tie-up with Skyfall
It is believed that Creativebrief is handling the review.
The lager giant will add the appointed agency to its global roster as one of its lead digital shops. The platform is expected to focus initially on Heineken, but could be rolled out across other brands such as Strongbow, Foster's and Kronenbourg 1664.
One agency source suggested that Heineken is seeking to build a stronger e-commerce presence through the pitch.
Heineken works with a number of agencies in the UK and globally, including AKQA, Lean Mean Fighting Machine and Iris Worldwide. Wieden & Kennedy handles Heineken's global ad account. It is understood that its incumbent shops will not be affected by the review.
The company will look to emulate the success of previous digital projects including the Star Player, which was launched by AKQA last year as a dual-screen football game that fans could play while watching the Uefa Champions League.
Heineken has ramped up its digital activity over the past few years. In September, it launched a TV and digital campaign called "crack the case", starring the new Bond girl, Berenice Marlohe, as part of its sponsorship of the latest 007 film, Skyfall.
The ad, created by Wieden & Kennedy, opened with Marlohe inviting the viewer on to a train that takes a voyage through a spectacular vista of snowy mountains. A series of gruelling tests were then put to the viewer, leading them to "crack the case".

Debunking Antipsychiatry: Laing, Law, and Largactil

The term "psychiatry" refers to two radically different ideas and practices: curing–healing "souls" and coercing–controlling persons. It is important that critics of psychiatry clarify whether they object to the former or the latter or both, and why. Because I believe coerced psychiatric relations are like coerced labor relations called "slavery," and like coerced sexual relations called "rape," I spent the better part of my professional life criticizing involuntary-institutional psychiatry and the insanity defense. In 1967, my effort to undermine the medical-political legitimacy of the term "mental illness" and the moral-legal legitimacy of depriving individuals of liberty by means of psychiatric rationalizations suffered a serious blow: the creation of the antipsychiatry movement. Despite their claims, "antipsychiatrists" rejected neither the idea of mental illness nor coercion practiced in the name of "treating" mental illness. Sensational claims about managing "schizophrenia" and pretentious pseudophilosophical pronouncements diverted attention from the crucial role of the psychiatrist as an agent of the state and as an adversary of the denominated patient. The legacy of the antipsychiatry movement is the creation of a catchall term used to delegitimize and dismiss critics of psychiatric fraud and force by labeling them "antipsychiatrists."

Duke Energy's Jim Rogers talks integration, future plans
Send this story to a friend
- Adam O'Daniel
- Finance Editor- Charlotte Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Jim Rogers is probably glad to be leaving the last month in his rearview mirror — not that the outlook ahead is much clearer.
The embattled Duke Energy Corp. chairman and chief executive is at the center of an executive-suite controversy and subsequent regulatory investigation. It comes following Duke's board re-establishing Rogers as CEO and ousting his successor Bill Johnson in the hours following Rogers-led Duke acquiring Johnson-led Progress Energy Inc. The decision landed Duke (NYSE:DUK), and Rogers, in hot water with the N.C. Utilities Commission and rankled some ex-Progress leaders.
Nevertheless, Rogers says he is pushing forward Duke Energy's integration with Progress.
He's also forging ahead as the leader of that company, despite recent calls for his resignation from former Progress board members.
In a brief phone interview on Thursday, Rogers celebrated Duke's $444 million second-quarter profit that beat Wall Street expectations, praised integration work as the best he's seen over a lengthy career and committed to serve as CEO as long as the board will have him. Following are edited excerpts of that conversation:
How are you leading the integration of Duke and Progress after the turbulence of the past month?
I'm real proud as to how our leaders have come together. We've already named the top 350 leaders. They are in place and they are working to bring our people together, to focus on the issues that need to be addressed, to adopt common approaches and standards. I think we're well on the way to achieving our objectives.
A great example is in joint dispatch. Over 60 percent of our fuel savings are contracted already. The joint dispatch is already moving 1,400 megawatts between Duke and Progress. And as you might have seen yesterday, we've already filed for a rate reduction as a consequence of joint dispatch for the coming year.
I think people have gone to work and are achieving the integration in a way that is as good as I've ever seen. And I've been engaged in two prior integration efforts. We're doing great this time.
Have you made any progress in reaching a settlement with the N.C. Utilities Commission in its investigation into the merger?
I can't speculate on the outcome of the settlement negotiations that we're having. They're ongoing. And my hope is that we can find a way to reach agreement with the parties.
Two (Progress-appointed) members of your new board stepped down last week. How is your relationship with the remaining directors? And is your job as CEO secure?
Let me start by addressing our new directors. First, this is a great company — one that is in the process of delivering outstanding benefits to our customers and shareholders. I want everyone at the company to be part of that going forward, and that includes our new board of directors. So my hope is that they all are part of the team going forward.
With respect to my own way forward, I serve at the pleasure of the board. And so I will work as long as they want me to.
How far along is the company in reaching its 1,800-job reduction goal as part of the merger? Can you avoid layoffs?
With respect to our voluntary severance program, we had 1,100 employees sign up for that. In addition to that, we have 300 vacancies, so all of a sudden we're now at 1,400. And as we look out over the next few years, our goal line is to try to achieve the labor reduction by attrition during that period of time.
You mentioned Wednesday's announcement that Duke will seek a rate decrease related to merger savings. But earlier in the year you indicated a rate increase would be requested this summer. Where does that stand?
Let me step back and say that we received authorization from the N.C. Utilities Commission to build the Cliffside (coal) plant as well as the Dan River (gas) plant. We have recovered some of that investment in the last rate case. We plan to file by the end of this year a rate case that will allow us to recover the rest of that investment.
So, our rate cases are really driven by investments that we've made that were authorized by the N.C. Utilities Commission. There's also going to be a filing made by Progress — they haven't had a rate increase since '88 — that is also tied to the building of new combined-cycle gas plants that were authorized by the N.C. commission.
