Does a PHP compiler or PHP server emulator exist for Windows 98? If so, where's the best place to find one? I am not interested in a PHP editor.
I am still new at this so chances are I am not using the correct terminology. I am sure this has probably been discussed on the forum before but I couldn't find any threads relating to it. If you could link me to such a thread I would appreciate it greatly.

In Age of Terror, Police Leader Gains in Access and Influence
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER and WILLIAM K. RASHBAUM
Published: May 24, 2004
Last Tuesday, after the city's former police and fire commissioners endured hours of withering criticism from the commission charged with investigating the Sept. 11 attacks, the current police commissioner presented his views on how the city deals with current threats.
''The Police Department,'' said the commissioner, Raymond W. Kelly, ''practically alone, is defending New York's people, its corporate assets and its infrastructure from another terrorist attack.''
At a time when New York finds itself on the front lines in the worldwide battle with terror, its police commissioner is emerging as the city's top general, a city official with unparalleled influence in the Bloomberg administration. Perhaps the most powerful police commissioner in a generation, he wields enormous clout in City Hall as he strives to oversee the city's response to the terror threat and the safety of its streets, say former city officials and senior aides to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg.
He exercises that power in ways both large and small. Unlike nearly every other city commissioner, Mr. Kelly literally answers to no one but Mr. Bloomberg. He refuses to take even mundane requests from senior mayoral aides, several officials said, and is equally insistent on imparting information to the mayor directly.
Whether or not Mr. Kelly is single-handedly keeping another terrorist attack at bay is open to debate. But his advice to the mayor, unlike that of other commissioners, is almost always accepted without qualification, these aides say.
Earlier this month, Mr. Kelly, in what some other senior city officials have called an unvarnished power grab, secured police control in the event of various types of major disasters, edging out the Fire Department in responding to chemical, biological or radiological incidents, long viewed as the Fire Department's province because of its expertise.
The police commissioner is also widely seen as the architect of Mr. Bloomberg's recently announced plan to dismantle many of the core functions of the Office of Emergency Management, which many experts believe should be the lead agency in catastrophic incidents involving public safety and health.
Mr. Kelly's power and influence have grown in large measure out of the post-9/11 age, which has forced the police to take on broad new antiterrorism responsibilities. However, Mr. Kelly has also driven crime down to new lows with some very aggressive measures while largely maintaining his popularity among minority residents, a rare combination that eluded his predecessors under Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani. A Quinnipiac University poll from March of this year gave Mr. Kelly a favorable rating from 61 percent of black respondents, numbers far higher than Mr. Bloomberg's own.
The latitude given the commissioner also partly reflects the mayor's management style. Unlike Mr. Giuliani, who seemed to seethe when his police commissioner eclipsed him in popularity or outperformed him on the public stage, Mr. Bloomberg appears to have little burning desire to outshine Mr. Kelly.
''The mayor gives the power and the mayor limits the power,'' former Mayor Edward I. Koch said. But for all his successes, Mr. Kelly has also managed to incur the kind of wrath that every favored child attracts -- from his colleagues in government, who view his elbows as too sharp; his subordinates, who complain of his imperiousness and closed inner circle; and the police union and many among the department's rank and file, who have raged when Mr. Kelly has been unwilling to defend officers and were particularly angry after he apologized to the family of a young black man killed by an officer earlier this year and said the shooting appeared unjustified.
''He is a tough guy,'' said one senior administration official who has been run over by the commissioner on more than one occasion, and who did not want to be named so as to avoid its happening again. ''None of us are going to take him on.''
Police commissioners generally play among the most important and visible roles in any administration. The city's crime rate is arguably the single most important factor in a mayor's popularity, and it helped determine the outcome of the 1993 and 1997 mayoral elections. Moreover, the police commissioner, who is in charge of the mayor's personal security and tends to accompany him on some of his most difficult duties, like responding to the death of a police officer, tends to form a personal bond with his boss.
The bond between mayor and police commissioner has only intensified under Mr. Bloomberg. Mr. Kelly, who served as police commissioner in 1992 and 1993 under Mayor David N. Dinkins, said he then reported to a deputy mayor; now, he meets weekly with Mr. Bloomberg and speaks to him at least once every day.
The particularly close relationship is based both on their history and on the job he has done, several mayoral aides have said. Mr. Kelly, 62, first met Mr. Bloomberg, also 62, nearly a decade before he was appointed, and helped Mr. Bloomberg, a businessman with no public safety experience, with his mayoral campaign.

By WALT BORLAHelper
Many parents and community members have questions about proposed Utah legislation called Tuition Tax Credits. In the past several bills have been presented on this subject but not have passed by the state legislature in Utah. However, with a new governor and some new legislators, increased pressure is on now to pass such a bill.
Basically a tuition tax credit gives a family the option of enrolling one or more of their children in a private school and claim a cost of the private school tuition as a direct credit against state income taxes they owe in any given year. The latest bill coming before the present legislature would create a sliding scale that gives the largest tax credit - $3,750 - to the lowest income families and the smallest credit - $500 - to the moderately high income families. Most parents who already send their children to private schools would be written out of tuition tax credits. This would be discriminatory against these families and surely ignite a court test.
Opponents of tuition tax credits believe it will drain money from public schools, while supporters say it will save public schools money by reducing the enrollment figures in public schools at a time when the state expects a massive increase in public school enrollments.
Utah currently has approximately 3 percent or 15,000 students attending private schools. The huge majority of these private schools are located on the Wasatch Front, and many are religious related schools. Private schools in the rural areas of the state are few and far between and often very small.
No other state has tried such a large and refundable credit to entice families to send their children to private schools. Much research and analysis has been done to try to determine the actual monetary effect of tuition tax credits on state public school education budgets. A study commissioned by the Utah School Boards Association by Price Waterouse-Cooper differed with the report authorized by a study group established by the last legislature.
Apparently all of the analysis hinge on the basic premise of how many parents will actually choose the private school option. Those that do face the prospect of providing their own transportation to the school for their children. Another consideration, is the tuition tax credit allowed, according to the status of the family, going to cover the actual tuition costs of the desired private school? For every child opting to enroll in a private school, the school district the child resides in loses the state weighted union provided by the state, presently almost $2100 per student. Despite these losses the school district is still faced with maintenance costs of their facilities along with several other fixed costs.
Parents of school age children should be in constant contact with their respective state legislators as the contents of the proposed tuition tax credits continues to shift to make it more acceptable to members of the legislature.
The unintended consequences of this legislation could cost the state millions of dollars and deal a blow to public education as we know it in Utah.

|Tuesday, 10 July 2007 20:00
The following resolution was drafted by Representative Cullie Tarleton in honor of World War II soldier Lawrence Burkett.Burkett was killed in action in 1944, but his was discovered just last year. In June, Burkett was finally laid to rest in Ashe County.

Kaptivating Kidz: Tackle football unites kids in Drain and Yoncalla
DRAIN, Ore. - Sixteen elementary students from Yoncalla and Drain have teamed up for the football season.
"In football we are friends, but in other sports we are competitive," said Austin Frieze, a wide receiver and cornerback.
These fourth and fith graders may be on the same North Douglas team, but they can't decide on a mascot: Are they Yoncalla Eagles? Or North Douglas Braves - in the home of the Drain Warriors?
One thing they have in common: this is their first year in tackle football in the Douglas County youth league.
"It's a little more shock," said Cody Black, a quarterback and cornerback.
"Tackle, not flag," added Dakota Spain, a left guard.
"I just plow 'em over," said Trenton Cook, an outside and defensive tackle.
The players are a long way from college and just learning the game, from the wide receivers with wishy-washy hands - "sometimes I have good hands, and sometimes I have bad," admitted Jimmy Barrone - to the play-breaking backfield. "My blood gets pumping," said running back Chandler Miller.
Even at this level, team cohesion is critical, said quarterback Caleb Parks.
"It can be challenging at some points when sometimes the line will mess up," he said.
This split team is also on opposite sides of the fence when it comes to picking sides in the Oregon Civil War.
But together they are learning to love tackle football.
"It gives you butterflies in your stomach," said Tanner Parks, an offensive and defensive lineman.
"It's pretty fun," linebacker Jake Gerrard said, "playing tackle now."

SO excited!
But I did something today that I am just SO, SO excited about.
Have you seen this post on Heather Ross' blog? It turns out she will be teaching a 3-day fabric design course this July at the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon.
The class is open to 17 people.
And I'll be one of them. Eeeee!
This is something I've been wanting to learn for a while now, but I had no idea where to start. I've also been looking for a good reason to visit Portland for the first time, too. So when I read Heather's post, I knew I had to make it happen. And it's going to happen, thanks in no small part to my mother who is covering the cost of the course as an early birthday present. Thanks, Mom!
I'm dying to know if anyone else reading this has signed up for the course, too. If so, please let me know! Oh, and if anyone has any Portland recommendations (where to stay, where to eat, where to shop, etc. etc.), please do share.
I've got a few draft blog posts in the queue highlighting things I've made over the past month or two, so stay tuned -- I hope it won't be so long before I post again. Hope you're all having a great week!

Sounds wonderful! I don't know if she reads your blog, but this blogger that I read is going...ReplyDelete

That is so awesome! I wish I were going! This year is going to be a crazy one though. I can't wait to hear all about it. I'm like you - would love to go that direction but have no clue how to start.ReplyDelete
That sounds very interesting! I've only been to the Portland Amtrak station, I'm afraid. It's very nice, though :)ReplyDelete
And I forgive you. :)

Portland is a fabulous city. There's TONS of stuff to do and lots of excellent places to eat. I can recommend a bunch of really tasty happy hour / lunch / dinner places if you would like.
I'm less sure about places to stay, since I live here... I don't usually put myself up in hotels.
Congrats, I am sure you'll have a great time at the workshop. How fun you are coming to visit our fine city!ReplyDelete
My must visits:
Fabric Depot- It's huge- 1.5 acres. About half of that is quilting fabric. https://www.fabricdepot.com/
Knittin' Kitten- A craft thrift store. It's fun just for a look, but I usually leave with something.
Voodoo Donuts- If you like donuts, they have a bacon maple bar that is soooo tasty!
All of these are on the eastside (there is a VooDoo location downtown though) of Portland. If you are staying near the college downtown they are a bit of a ways away. A bunch of Craftster peeps also live here...
OMGosh John! How cool for you! You'll be in my home town... My husband and I have gotta take you out!!! Is your wife coming???ReplyDelete
Good for you John, and did you just see that Heather Ross herself just commented on here! Wow!!ReplyDelete
Have fun
How awesome!ReplyDelete

BUFFALO, NY-- A Buffalo woman who had drugs and alcohol in her system when she hit a motorcyclist with her pick-up truck and ran from the scene, is going to prison.
Jennifer Garno was sentenced Wednesday to one and a third to four years behind bars for the accident that happened last year. That is the maximum she could have received.
Garno wiped away tears as Judge Burns handed down the sentence to her. The sister of the 51-year-old victim says his wounds are something he will have to live with for the rest of his life.

Rate Dr. Yoon S. Min
Dr. Yoon S. Min's Ratings
I have RA and have had many Rheumatologists. I consider Dr. Min not only the best Rheumatologist who's ever treated me, but in my 68 years one of the better Doctors I've ever had an appointment with. Dr. Min has always been very careful to fully investigate my complaints before fully explaining what was wrong to me. I usually "learn" something from him, and am thankful that I have him and his very efficient staff in my corner.

Worst doctor I have ever seen. Each time I went for my appointment there would be nobody else in the waiting room. The office staff was very unprofessional. My wait time was always over an hour. Ended up doing in office blood work that was not covered by my insurance. Was finally diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and he never explained what it even was to me. Told me to just grab some pamphlets on my way out. He never treated me for rheumatoid arthritis and was more concerned about my acne. After about three visits I decided to get a second opinion by another doctor and I am so glad I did. In my opinion do not waste your time going to see Dr. Min.

Yes he sometime he is not on time , but that is because he takes his time with you and talk with you not at you. He tell you what is going on with you and try to help as much as he can.I would tell the world about him and tell people they should go and see him because he cares about his patients.

Clouded in mystery, the ancient stone circle of Stonehenge is an amazing feat of engineering and the most important prehistoric site in England, but beyond its archaeological significance and possible astronomical role, Stonehenge is also a place of spiritual importance. Early legends link it with Merlin and King Arthur, but over the last hundred years, the midsummer sunrise has attracted pagan groups and followers of the Ancient Order of Druids.

Explore the Roman Baths, built around thermal springs, which have been supplying water for over 2,000 years.

However, it is still described by its operators as "the world's tallest cantilevered observation wheel" (because the entire structure is supported by an A-frame on one side only). The London Eye is located at the western end of Jubilee Gardens, on the South Bank of the River Thames between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge. Fast track tickets for the London Eye allow you to skip the majority of the queue and check in just 15 minutes before the experience booked.Accommodation: Park Plaza Westminster Bridge (4*)

Melissa Field was extremely helpful! She was courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly! She kept me updated on the status of everything and provided timely correspondence. She took ownership for any problems I had and remedied them. I had the most amazing time of my life in Iceland and Paris! I would not have experienced everything without the help of Kensington Tours.
All of our guides were beyond fabulous! Our time in Dublin was much too short, would have loved to stay there at least one more full day. Would recommend extending this package to 15 days for any future visits. The train to Edinburgh was super! Beautiful scenery and great steak pies!
Our trip was fantastic!!! I cannot say enough good things. Lianne worked with our exact dates and time frame beautifully.Our drivers were prompt and friendly. The private guides were so knowledgeable. We left with an appreciation of the history, the culture, and the beauty of Andulasia. We were very pleased and will certainly recommend your company to friends and family.
Everyone involved in our Portugal trip made it terrific. Exactly as advertised. Every event on time and most pleasant. Guides were well-informed, courteous and friendly. Really made for a great journey every time. Each hotel was clean, upgraded and staffed with knowledgeable and friendly folks. Breakfasts were complete -- almost too much to eat. It will always be a wonderful memory thanks to Kensington Tours.
We've been raving to everyone about the food, the friendliness of the people and the amazing history and sites in Turkey. Yes, we want to go back.
Overall, our tour in Spain was very enjoyable, and well planned and executed. Our private tour of the Alhambra was excellent. Virginia, tour guide for royal palace ruins outside of Cordoba, was also excellent. In Seville, we went to the Flamenco Show/dinner, and the Flamenco was outstanding!
Great trip to Spain! Thanks again for all your help, Lianne. The destinations, hotels, guides and everything were all top notch.
My husband and I took a 3 week vacation to southern Europe and North Africa and had a great time. All the guides were very knowledgeable and bent over backwards to accommodate us. The arrangements made by Kensington went off without a hitch. This is our second trip with Kensington (we went to Peru in 2009) and we will certainly book with them again.
Thank you for your follow up, we both loved our time in Croatia. It's really a beautiful place, especially the coast. Your choice of hotels was great. It was an incredible view from the Bellevue hotel in Dubrovnik and the Vestibule in Split was in the best possible location. We were able to relax in our room listening to the wonderful singers in the courtyard and its central location made it so easy to walk anywhere we wanted to see with ease.
We just returned from a 10 day trip to Paris and Normandy. We spent three nights in Paris and then enjoyed a seven night cruise on the Seine to Normandy with AMA Waterways. The time in Paris was well spent and has piqued our interest to return for a more thorough visit. Guide Wafaa Lankey was superb in our visit to Versailles. The Seine cruise was relaxing and beautiful. So many wonderful little towns and we wished we had more time in each one to explore and enjoy.
We traveled to Croatia and Slovenia using Kensington earlier this year which was a fantastic trip.

Many people make New Year resolutions, and the resolution most often made, according to the folks that keep track of these things, is to lose weight. So maybe the fitness center or gym you belong to is a bit more crowded this week, or maybe you are joining an exercise facility to start the New Year. Personally I am Cross Country skiing with a vengeance after the Christmas goodies have settled on my waistline. Perhaps you have seen me puffing up and down the frozen Big Sioux River.
Then there is the awful D worddieting. I am working on that too; currently I have returned to being more on the vegetarian side of omnivore, and I am already planning a vegan Lent; the best way I know to lose weight and lower my cholesterol. This is not always a welcome announcement, my wife and grown children have been known to refer to Lent as the season of food torture, even though it is my choice of diet not required of them.
A wonderful article by Tiffany Chaney made a connection for me about food and my relationship to God. First it is a matter of grace and mercy. In spite of too much sweets and fat over the holidays I am still in good shape. I can ski and bicycle, and do just about any physical activity I want. I am fortunate, because that is not true for everyone.
Second, my relationship with food is also a reflection of my relationship with God. Do I seek satisfaction from excessive consumption of rich food on a regular basis, when it would be better to seek a richer satisfaction from a deeper prayer relationship with God? An occasional feast is a good thing, but is the everyday excessive consumption of unhealthy food, so common in our nation, a sign of spiritual poverty?
The times I recall the strongest feeling of closeness with God, and of satisfaction with my life, is when I eat simple diet that has integrity with what I believe about caring for my health, the well-being of my global neighbors, and the restoration of Gods creation. For me that means being more on the vegetarian side of omnivore.
Perhaps you will consider another resolution this New Year. Along with losing weight or being healthier; make the resolution to work on your relationship to God. I think our health, the health of the planet, and our relationship to God are connected.
