The U.S. wind energy industry has presented a dynamic growth story over the past decade—a story of technological innovation, a new manufacturing sector, and increased investment. Wind energy offers a clean, affordable source of electricity that provides long-term price stability for American ratepayers.
The U.S. wind energy industry turned in its strongest year ever in 2012, installing a record 13,131 megawatts of electric generating capacity (see figure 1) and leveraging $25 billion in private investment.1 Total U.S. wind capacity (installed) surpassed 60,000 megawatts in December 2012, just four months after reaching 50,000 megawatts (see figure 2). Wind farms generate enough electricity to power over 15 million American homes—equal to all the homes in Colorado, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, and Ohio combined. These wind farms provide enough wind energy to save about 98.9 million tons of CO2 and avoid 37.7 billion gallons of water consumption annually. According to a 2008 projection by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), wind energy is capable of providing 20 percent of America's electricity by 2030 based solely on current technology.2 As of 2012, installed capacity in the United States was running ahead of the projections in that report.

Last year for the first time, wind energy became the number one source of new electric generating capacity, providing 42 percent of all new capacity brought online in the United States (see figure 3). This bested the recent trend of wind being the second largest source of new generation capacity, behind natural gas for the prior five years.

Economic Benefits
In the early stages of the wind industry, turbine imports were common, but two factors have led to increased domestic manufacturing. First, it is more economical to locate the supply chain closer to projects due to high transportation costs associated with such heavy equipment. Second, unique meteorological and topographic characteristics motivated domestic turbine manufacturers to make changes to the equipment, dramatically improving performance at U.S. wind projects. The domestic supply chain now includes more than 500 wind-related manufacturing facilities, the cost of wind energy is lower, and the American Wind Energy Association estimates that the U.S. wind work force stood at 80,700 direct and indirect jobs at the end of 2012.3 In addition to manufacturing jobs, there are jobs for installing turbines and maintaining the installations. New wind turbines are much larger and generate power at lower wind speeds than equipment manufactured as recently as five years ago. Instead of using imported equipment from foreign countries, around 70 percent of a typical wind turbine manufactured today is made in America,4 supporting the domestic economy. A wind project is a long-term economic investment in a local economy with jobs that cannot be outsourced.
Wind energy has brought projects and jobs to all 50 states (see figure 4). By the end of 2012, 39 states and Puerto Rico had installed utility-scale5 wind projects, and every state has either a project or a manufacturing facility. Wind development works especially well in many low- to moderate-income agricultural communities, where land can continue to support crops or livestock while a wind project generates land-lease income for farmers and tax revenues for local governments. Land leases contribute at least $180 million to rural communities each year.

The DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) studied the economic impact of wind energy from 2000 to 2008 in a 12-state region running from Texas to North Dakota, where more than half of all installed wind capacity in the country is located. The NREL found that each megawatt of additional wind capacity raised county-level personal income by about $11,150 and increased county employment by 0.48 percent during the eight years studied.
If the public welfare benefit test can be met, investments in wind energy installations in many of these rural areas may qualify under the national bank and federal savings association public welfare investment (PWI) authority, which would allow these institutions to make equity investments in these projects. A quick review of Texas (the highest wind capacity state in the United States) shows that several thousand megawatts of wind capacity are located in areas that qualify as low income or rural distressed or underserved tracts. Investments in such areas may qualify under the PWI authority if certain job creation criteria are met. See the article "Using the Public Welfare Investment Authority to Make Wind Energy Investments."
Wind Energy Production Tax Credit
A major driver of this success is the production tax credit (PTC), which has supported the developing wind industry, fostered wind technology improvements, and helped drive down the costs of wind energy for consumers. Created in 1992, the PTC is an inflation-adjusted tax credit awarded to a wind or otherwise qualifying energy project (geothermal, hydroelectric, landfill gas, and other technologies) for the first 10 years of operation. The amount of the tax credit is based on the quantity of energy that a project produces. Presently, the PTC rebate amount is 2.3 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity produced (or $23.00 per megawatt-hour). The tax credit offsets the federal tax liability of the project owner for each unit of electricity that is delivered to the grid. This tax credit has encouraged wind manufacturers to innovate in favor of lowering costs and building more efficient turbines that are capable of producing more electricity.
Figure 5 illustrates how the PTC increases in value for a theoretical 100 megawatt project, when the performance of a project increases by 5 percent as measured by the capacity factor. (Capacity factor measures the output as compared to full capacity over an 8,760-hour year.)
Figure 5: PTC Performance Incentive from 35% to 40% Capacity Factor
Note: Annual PTC=100 megawatts × capacity factor × 8,760 hours in a year × PTC value
Source: AWEA
Another strength of the PTC is its ability to attract private investment for new wind farm installations. Project developers include large energy companies with significant resources as well as smaller, more entrepreneurial companies that need to raise capital from third parties to build projects. This market appeals to investors with a significant federal tax obligation. Many project developers may not be able to utilize the tax credit themselves, because they do not generate sufficient income to offset a credit. In those cases, the project developer can seek partners that are willing to invest capital in wind energy projects in order to take advantage of the tax credit. These tax equity investors provide capital in exchange for an ownership stake in a wind project, and they receive their return by taking the bulk of the tax benefits from the PTC as well as from a combination of project cash flows and equipment depreciation.
Because banks have been significant investors in the low-income housing tax credit market, they are accustomed to the sophisticated accounting necessary for tax credit compliance. These banks may also be a natural fit for the wind tax equity market. Banks are bringing the same level of compliance, due diligence, and market discipline regarding the economics of a project to PTC investments. This investor influence has been a strong force in making wind technology more efficient and profitable over the years.
The PTC has been periodically renewed by Congress since 1992. Most recently it was renewed in 2012, when a one-year extension included important modifications. Now, to be eligible for the PTC, a new facility must be "under construction" by the law's expiration date (December 31, 2013), rather than "placed in service" as previously required.6 This change in eligibility timing shifts the availability of the current extension well beyond the end of 2013. Second, the legislation extended the option to choose between taking either the 30 percent energy investment tax credit (ITC) or the PTC for wind installations. (See the OCC publication "Investing in Solar Energy Using the Public Welfare Investment Authority," July 2011.)7
The ITC and the PTC provide support to different types of wind projects. For most utility-scale wind projects, the PTC is more successful at driving down the price of electricity. The value of the PTC is based on a project's energy generation, while the 30 percent energy ITC is calculated using the total cost of a wind installation, including both equipment and labor. Industry improvements in cost reduction and efficiency gains generally have favored choosing the PTC, because cost reduction lowers the value of the ITC while efficiency gains increase the value of the PTC. The ITC value is driven by cost accounting while PTC investments require detailed projections to predict power output. However, ITCs are simpler to calculate, which gives a particularly strong incentive for smaller projects to favor the ITC.
The PTC has been instrumental to the wind sector. In the early 2000s, there were three periods when the credit was temporarily allowed to expire before being retroactively renewed. In the years when the PTC expired, project development dropped 93 percent, 77 percent, and 73 percent, respectively, compared with the previous year. In each case, the market recovered strongly in the year after the PTC was restored. The multiyear extensions enacted in 2005 and 2009 created more policy stability and helped spur tremendous growth in the wind industry. With those longer-term extensions and the change to the "under construction" eligibility this year, the U.S. Congress has acknowledged the need to pair the PTC life cycle with the project planning process so that developers can more effectively finish production-intensive wind projects in time to qualify for the incentive.
Energy tax credit investors include a range of parties, but most of the investors are banks, including Bank of America, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and U.S. Bank. Large companies active in the power sector also recognize the investment opportunities of wind, so companies like GE Capital and power utilities like San Diego Gas & Electric have provided tax equity capital to wind projects. Another high-profile tax equity investor is Google, a company with long-term power needs and a keen interest in stable energy prices. This market is attractive to new investors because several of the key tax equity investors exited following the 2008 financial crisis, when the prospects for their long-term taxable income became more uncertain. Although investment activity has rebounded since the financial crisis, the limited supply of willing investment capital makes the return/risk profile stronger for tax equity investors.

6 The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provided guidance on the meaning of "begun construction." Notice 2013-29, issued on May 13, 2013, indicates that in order to be eligible to receive the PTC or ITC, a renewable energy facility must begin construction before January 1, 2014, by showing that either (1) "physical work of a significant nature" has begun, or (2) at least 5 percent of the total cost of the project has been incurred (referred to as "safe harbor"). Additionally, "continuous efforts to advance towards completion of the facility" must be made after construction has begun. Subsequently, the IRS issued Notice 2013-60, on September 20, 2013, which provides more certainty through a "deemed satisfaction" rule, so that developers could offer more assurance to investors that projects will qualify for the PTC or ITC. This clarification treats a facility as having satisfied the continuous construction test or the continuous efforts test if the taxpayer places the facility in service before January 1, 2016.

Chicago Tribune
DENVER – Soaring when they hit the Mile High City, the Blackhawks were brought back down to earth in spectacular fashion and their historic run is history.
The Hawks didn't just lose for the first time this season in regulation, they looked bad in doing it as they were hammered 6-2 by the Avalanche on Friday night at Pepsi Center in Denver.
After a first half of the season during which they could do no wrong, everything fell apart for the Hawks against the Avs, and their 24-game run to begin the 2013 season was halted.
Also ended was the Hawks' franchise-record 11-game winning streak and the 30 consecutive contests with at least one point dating back to last season.
Losing puck battles, failing in the faceoff circle and looking winded during their sixth game in 9 nights, the Hawks fell to 21-1-3 in 2013.
It was their first defeat in regulation since March 25, 2012 against the Predators.
The Hawks actually jumped in front early in the opening period on a goal by Jonathan Toews, but the Avs– who looked a step quicker than the Hawks all game– mounted an offensive attack that stunned goaltender Corey Crawford as Colorado reeled off five consecutive goals by five different players.
Matt Duchene had a goal and three assists, Paul Stastny and PA Parenteau each had a goal and two assists, Ryan O'Reilly a goal and an assist and John Mitchell also scored for Colorado, which avenged a 3-2 loss to the Hawks on Wednesday night at the United Center. Toews and Bryan Bickell scored for the Hawks but it wasn't nearly enough.
Semyon Varlamov earned the win in goal for the Avalanche while Crawford took the loss, lasting two periods before he was replaced by Ray Emery to start the third.
Toews opened the scoring in the first off a pretty passing play with Brandon Saad and Marian Hossa. The captain eventually scored off a give-and-go with Hossa and the Hawks appeared to be off and running.
Stastny tied it late in the first while the Avs were on a power play when he redirected a shot by Duchene. Colorado owned the second with four goals to erase any doubt that it wasn't the Hawks' night. Duchene flipped a backhander past Crawford, Mitchell rifled one in from the slot, O'Reilly scored from the high slot with a man advantage and McGinn tucked the puck past Crawford to end the second-period onslaught.
The barrage also ended Crawford's night as coach Joel Quenneville turned to Emery. Crawford yielded the five goals on 19 Colorado shots to drop to 11-1-3 on the season.
In the third, Bickell cut the Hawks' deficit to 5-2 when the winger blasted a one-timer from the right dot past Varlamov. Parenteau ended the scoring a short time later.
The Hawks' malaise began during the morning skate and Quenneville let his team know it with some colorful language to get it to pick up the pace.
"We don't practice very often so when you're out there and it's just ordinary, missing passes or whatever, [it's to] just to get their focus – let's go," Quenneville said.
The Hawks began the second half of their season with the knowledge they would be without forward Patrick Sharp, who is sidelined with what a source said is an injured shoulder. Coach Quenneville said is "probably out 3 to 4 weeks." The veteran was checked along the boards by the Avalanche's Ryan O'Byrne during Wednesday's game.
Hossa, who did not play Wednesday night after being a late scratch, said he was sidelined with an upper-body injury that was "not at all a concussion.
"It was something else," Hossa said following the Hawks' morning skate. "Right now, I feel much better and sometimes only two days just not practicing [and] taking off helps."
Shaw left the second period of Wednesday night's game after taking an elbow to the chin from the Avs' Stastny and did not return due to precautionary measures.
"I'm perfectly fine," Shaw said. "I'm just excited to get another win here on the road. I feel fine. It was precautionary. I feel 100 percent and ready to go."
Frolik missed two games with the flu and traveled to Denver on Thursday night, hours after the team arrived.

Peridot (PAIR-ee-doh), August's birthstone, is also known as Olivine and Chrysolite. The intensity of Peridot's zesty lime green color is dependent upon the amount of iron within the stone. Peridot's perky color makes this stone a perfect compliment to bright summer fashions. It is said that the Queen Cleopatra's extensive "emerald" collection was actually a large collection of high quality peridot. Peridot was a wildly popular gem in the Baroque period, and is once again gaining in popularity. Peridot pairs well with sterling silver, Swarovski crystal and magnetic hematite beads.

You or a loved one might already be living with diabetes, just like nearly 26 million Americans. Or maybe there was a recent diagnosis of diabetes. Perhaps you have diabetes but do not know it, as is the case for 7 million adults. Or you may be one of nearly 79 million adults aged 20 years or older who are considered pre-diabetic.
At any rate, it is important that you know the facts about how you can prevent this lifelong and serious - but manageable - medical condition.
There are several forms of Diabetes. Diabetes is caused as a result of the pancreas not producing enough insulin. In some cases, the pancreas does not produce any insulin at all.
Type 1 Diabetes. Individuals with Type 1 diabetes have a pancreas that is not producing any insulin. They will have to receive insulin for the rest of their lives. 5-10% of cases of diabetes are Type 1.
Type 2 Diabetes. Individuals with Type 2 diabetes have a pancreas that produces some insulin, but not nearly enough to meet their needs. Type 2 is by far the most common form of diabetes. Between 90% and 95% of the people who have diabetes have Type 2.
Gestational Diabetes. Another common form of the disease is gestational diabetes. This condition occurs during pregnancy. Women who deliver babies over nine pounds in weight are at the most risk of developing this pregnancy-related type of diabetes. About 90% of the time, gestational diabetes disappears after delivery. Patients with gestational diabetes, however, have a 3-4 times greater risk of having Type 2 diabetes later in life.
Avoiding Diabetes
Research shows that doing just two things can help you prevent or delay type 2 diabetes:
You can find out more about preventing diabetes by visiting the links below:
You can do everything you are supposed to do to cut the risk and still get diabetes. Although it is a serious condition and one that must be treated properly, diabetes is a disease that can be controlled. In fact, millions of Americans lead active and perfectly functional lives with diabetes without their medical conditions controlling them.
By working with your team of healthcare professionals and never being afraid to ask questions or discuss treatment options, you can make the most of the situation.
Many research studies are underway to help us learn about eye diseases. Would you like to find out more about being part of this exciting research? Please visit the following links:

As you'll probably recall, over the previous article I drew the general guidelines for defining and using recursive methods inside PHP classes. Because a method is simply a function that belongs to a particular class in an object-based development environment, creating recursive methods doesn't differ considerably from building regular recursive functions.
Provided that you defined the appropriate logic of a recursive method, all you have to remember is to include the popular "$this->" pointer, followed by the method's name, at the point where the method calls itself. As you can see, this process is really straightforward and easy to grasp.
After covering in detail how to define recursive method and functions, the question is: what comes next? Luckily, there's vast terrain to explore with reference to using recursion in PHP. As I said in previous articles of this series, recursion can be used in cases where a specific tree structure or a linked list needs to be navigated, in order to display, add, delete or edit its values. It's exactly for that reason that this last article will be focused on building an extensible discussion forum, which precisely uses a tree structure (implemented on a single MySQL database table) for displaying forum messages and adding new posts.
Of course, using the core logic of this forum as a starting point, you can experiment by adding more features to the overall application and build a more complex discussion forum. This can be integrated with your existing PHP applications, or eventually added to future ones.
Are you ready to start learning how to build a discussion forum in PHP? Right, let's do it together.{mospagebreak title=Getting started with the forum: defining the structure of the MySQL database table}
To start building this simple discussion forum, what I'll do first is define the structure of the MySQL database table that will serve for storing user data, such as messages, user names, email addresses, and so on. At the same time it will be used to construct a logical tree, in such a way that it can be traversed by a recursive function (or method, to be more accurate), in order to display all this data.
Keeping in mind the database structure that I just explained above, here is the SQL code for creating the "forum" database table:
CREATE TABLE forum
id INT(4) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
parent_id INT(4) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
name CHAR(50) NOT NULL,
email CHAR(50) NOT NULL,
title CHAR(50) NOT NULL,
message TEXT NOT NULL
As you can see, the above sample "forum" database table is comprised of six fields: id, parent_id, name, email, title and message respectively, which are quite descriptive about the type of data they will house. However, let me stop for a while on the "parent_id" field, since it's important to know the meaning of it. Essentially, the values this field will store will be the ID of the corresponding parent node within the structure of a linked tree, so if a particular forum thread has no associated parent (placed on top of the tree), then obviously this value will be 0. In a similar fashion, the different branching threads will be generated by assigning the corresponding parent IDs to each row, as the tree structure goes deeper and deeper.
To illustrate how the above linked tree works, here is a schematic example of the "forum" database table, populated with a few records:
In the above example, the database table contains six forum threads, where the two first are main threads, that is their parent_id fields are equal to 0, then the two subsequent ones are sub threads of threads 1 and 2 (parent_id=2 and parent_id=1), and finally the last threads are also sub threads of threads 3 and 4 respectively. Quite understandable, right?
As you can see, a linked tree structure is pretty easy to be constructed by using a simple database table, and based on this tree structure, the discussion forum will work properly.
Now that you know how the "forum" database looks, it's time to leap forward and begin coding the PHP class responsible for making the forum work as expected. To see how this will be achieved please read the next few lines.{mospagebreak title=Processing forums threads: defining the "ThreadProcessor" class}
Basically, I plan to make the forum work by using a single PHP class, called "ThreadProcessor," which is responsible for displaying threads and adding new posts to the pertinent forum. As you'll see shortly, this class will aggregate an additional one, named "MySQL," handy for providing the forum with the capacity to connect to MySQL and run SQL queries.
Having explained the basic tasks that will be performed by the "ThreadProcessor" class, here is its corresponding definition. Please have a look at it:
class ThreadProcessor{
// declare data members
var $db;
var $threadCode;
var $threadSubmitted;
var $user;
var $email;
var $title;
var $message;
function ThreadProcessor(&$db){
$this->db=&$db; // instance of MySQL class
// display main-child threads & thread form
function displayThreads(){
// add new thread to database
// display threads
// display thread form
return $contents;
// display main threads
function fetchTitles(){
$result=$this->db->query("SELECT * FROM forum WHERE
echo '
';
// loop over result set
echo '
'.$row['title'].' Posted by
('.$row['name'].') '.$row['email'].'
';
// call recursively the 'fetchTitles()' method
echo '
';
// display child threads
function fetchMessages(){
$result=$this->db->query("SELECT name,title,message FROM
forum WHERE id='$this->threadCode'");
echo 'No messages were found!';
echo '
'.$row['title'].'

'.$row['name'].'
wrote: '.$row['message'].'
Back to main threads';
// display thread form
function createThreadForm(){
echo '<form method="post" action="'.$_SERVER
['PHP_SELF'].'?threadcode='.$this->threadCode.'">
Post your
new message
';
echo 'Name <input type="text" name="user"
size="30″ />
Email <input type="text" name="email"

';
echo 'Title<input type="text" name="title"
size="30″ />
Message
<textarea name="message"
rows="10″ cols="30″></textarea>
<input type="submit"
name="send" value="Add thread" /></form>';
// add new thread
function addThread(){
$this->db->query("INSERT INTO forum (id,parent_id,name,email,title,message) VALUES (NULL,'$this-
As shown above, the "ThreadProcessor" class exposes a few handy methods for displaying forum threads, as well as for adding new posts to the "forum" database table, something that is achieved by coding a regular online form.
As I said a few lines above, the class aggregates an instance of a "MySQL" class that comes in quite useful for connecting to MySQL and running queries against the database table. As you can see, this class is aggregated and assigned as a new property inside the respective constructor.
Now, take a look at the signature of the "displayThreads()" method:
function displayThreads(){
// add new thread to database
// display threads
// display thread form
return $contents;
In essence, what this method does is determine the course of action to be taken, in accordance with the value of the "threadCode" property. First, it checks whether the form for adding new posts has been submitted, and according to this, calls the "addThread()" method, since a new message has been posted by a user. After checking this condition, the method displays either the corresponding thread titles or the contents of submitted messages. Finally, it shows the form for posting new messages, by calling the "createThreadForm()" method.
Before proceeding to review other methods of the "ThreadProcessor" class, let me first clarify one point: notice the entire visual output is echoed to an output buffer; the data is not displayed directly on the browser. I have a good reason for doing this: since the "fetchTitles()" method calls itself (yep, here's where recursion comes in), it generates a dynamic output for each method instance, which is easily captured by the output buffer, instead of troubling things with regular variables. Additionally, the remaining methods also use this buffer to output their contents, which are returned to calling code.
Right, now that you understand the reasons for using an output buffer, the next step consists of looking at the remaining methods of the "ThreadProcessor" class, to give you a clear idea of how they fit together. Therefore, please click on the link below and keep on reading.
{mospagebreak title=Displaying the forum: looking at the "fetchTitles()," fetchMessages()" and "createThreadForm()" methods}
As you may have guessed, the core method of the class is "fetchTitles()," which is responsible for recursively navigating the "forum" database table and displaying the respective tree of nested threads. First, the method begins displaying all the main threads (the values for parent_id fields are equal to 0), and then goes as deep as required, in order to display the corresponding sub threads. You can learn how this is performed if you take a look at the signature of this method:
function fetchTitles(){
$result=$this->db->query("SELECT * FROM forum WHERE
echo '
';
// loop over result set
echo '
'.$row['title'].' Posted by
('.$row['name'].') '.$row['email'].'
';
// call recursively the 'fetchTitles()' method
echo '
';
In this method, you can clearly appreciate the role played by the aggregated $this->db object, which is handy when it comes to fetching all the thread titles from the database table. Undoubtedly, the most important thing to note here is the recursive implementation of the method, something extremely powerful and elegant for scanning the tree's branch nodes, in order to display all the sub threads.
The remaining methods speak for themselves, so I won't spend much time on them. First, the "fetchMessages()" method is called when a thread title is clicked, and not surprisingly shows the contents of that particular thread. Its source code is listed below:
function fetchMessages(){
$result=$this->db->query("SELECT name,title,message FROM forum WHERE id='$this->threadCode'");
echo 'No messages were found!';
echo '
'.$row['title'].'

'.$row['name'].'
wrote: '.$row['message'].'
Back to main threads';
Finally, the "createThreadForm()" method is tasked with generating, on the fly, the online form that inserts new posts on the forum. Its definition is as follows:
function createThreadForm(){
echo '<form method="post" action="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?
threadcode='.$this->threadCode.'">
Post your new
echo 'Name <input type="text" name="user"
size="30″ />
Email <input type="text" name="email"
size="30″ />
';
echo 'Title<input type="text" name="title"
size="30″ />
Message
<textarea name="message"
rows="10″ cols="30″></textarea>
<input type="submit"
name="send" value="Add thread" /></form>';
In this case, the above method displays a basic web form, which after submitting itself, inserts a new message into the forum by the "addThread()" method. The source code for this one is listed below:
function addThread(){
$this->db->query("INSERT INTO forum
(id,parent_id,name,email,title,message) VALUES (NULL,'$this-
Okay, I think that's all you need to learn about how the "ThreadProcessor" class works. Now, jump into the next section, in order to see the forum in action. It's really worthwhile.
{mospagebreak title=The discussion forum in action: putting the "ThreadProcessor" class to work}
Assuming that you understood the logic implemented by the "ThreadProcessor" class, below I developed an example that shows the discussion forum in action. For the sake of completeness, I also included the classes that connect to MySQL and process result sets. Here is the corresponding sample code:
class MySQL {
var $conId; // connection identifier
var $host; // MySQL host
var $user; // MySQL username
var $password; // MySQL password
var $database; // MySQL database
// constructor
function MySQL($options=array()){
// validate incoming parameters
foreach($options as $parameter=>$value){
trigger_error('Invalid parameter
// connect to MySQL
else {
trigger_error('No connection parameters were
// connect to MYSQL server and select database
function connectDB(){
trigger_error('Error connecting to the
trigger_error('Error selecting
// perform query
function query($query){
trigger_error('Error performing query
// return new Result object
return new Result($this,$this->result);
class Result {
var $mysql; // instance of MySQL object
var $result; // result set
function Result(&$mysql,$result){
// fetch row
function fetchRow(){
return mysql_fetch_array($this->result,MYSQL_ASSOC);
// count rows
function countRows(){
return false;
return $rows;
// count affected rows
function countAffectedRows(){
trigger_error('Error counting affected
return $rows;
// get ID from last inserted row
function getInsertID(){
trigger_error('Error getting ID',E_USER_ERROR);
return $id;
// seek row
function seekRow($row=0){
trigger_error('Error seeking data',E_USER_ERROR);
function getQueryResource(){
return $this->result;
// connect to MySQL
$db=&new MySQL(array('host'=>'host','user'=>'user','password'=>'password',
// instantiate 'ThreadProcessor' object
$threadProc=&new ThreadProcessor($db);
// display forum threads
echo $threadProc->displayThreads();
As shown in the above script, after including the couple of MySQL processing classes, all I needed to do to get the forum working was instantiate a "ThreadProcessor" object and call its "displayThread()" method. Wasn't that simple?
Also, below I included an example screen shot, which illustrates the discussion forum in action, after populating the "forum" database table with a few trivial messages:
As depicted above, the "ThreadProcessor" class does a decent job traversing recursively the "forum" database table and displaying main and sub threads, as well as the respective web form for posting new messages. I hope the above image will be clear enough to demonstrate the power of recursion in PHP.Final thoughts
In this last article of the series, I showed you how to use recursion in a practical example: the development of a "quick and dirty" discussion forum. I left as homework coding the class methods that update and delete forum threads, but I'm sure you'll have a clear idea of how to do this, since both database operations are very simple to translate to PHP code. As usual, see you in the next PHP tutorial!

His book consists of 19 in-depth interviews with some of the pioneers, movers, and shakers of diving. They range in time from the 1950s Zale Parry to present day icons like John Chatterton and Wes Skiles. The careers of some of these still-active divers span nearly the entire history of scuba diving: Stan Waterman, Bev Morgan, Ron and Valerie Taylor, and Chuck Nicklin. Michele Hall rates her own chapter, as does Howard. Peter Benchley, Bob Ballard, and Greg MacGillivray have transcended our diving world and are well known outside its provincial boundaries. Bob Hollis and Dick Bonin were innovative manufacturers. Al Giddings, Mike DeGruy, Paul Humann, and Ernie Brooks round out a pennant winning lineup.
Gilliam himself is the subject of the final chapter, interviewed by longtime professional collaborator Lina Hitchcock. He claims to have been dragged in kicking and screaming. Fred Garth, Douglas David Siefert, Danielle Alary and Michel Gilbert, and I wrote chapters; the rest are Gilliam's.
The book fills 489 pages and weighs 4 ½ pounds, so it hardly qualifies as airplane reading. Instead it's something to take into a comfortable chair in the living room and read a chapter or two each night. It's almost like having a diving legend sitting in the chair next to you, and carrying on a conversation with an old friend. The divers reveal their personalities, their sense of humor, their philosophy, and some amazing tales ranging from triumph to tragedy

Kate O'Beirne's midnight take on John Kerry's speech seems to me to capture the essence of it:
For a guy teeming with integrity, that was one dishonest speech. After accusing George Bush of "misleading" us into a war because he wanted to fight a war, that he fought "on the cheap," and of presiding over venal, lawless officials, and kicking kids out of after school programs to give Enron another tax break, and denying health care to veterans, etc. etc. Kerry made a phony pitch for a positive campaign. He called on the President to join him in building "unity in the American family" and said, "let's respect one another." He hastened to add that would be a lot easier if the President would stop abusing the Constitution for crass political purposes. P.S. The homeless are back! Did they de-camp from Lafayette Park during the Clinton years?
But that still leaves a consideration of Kerry's missing Senate record, the Vietnam variations at play in the speech, and the national security policy implicit in Kerry's criticisms and recommendations.
Kerry's Senate record strongly tells against much of Kerry's speech (such as his hit-and-run shot on body armor for the troops). For a quick first take, see Ben Johnson's "Kerry's self-indictment." On the Vietnam variations, see Lawrence Kaplan's "Apocalypse Kerry."
On the national security policy implicit in the speech, I haven't found anything helpful yet. It is striking, however, that Kerry's criticism of pre-emption actually appears to endorse military action only after another attack:
I defended this country as a young man and I will defend it as President. Let there be no mistake: I will never hesitate to use force when it is required. Any attack will be met with a swift and certain response. I will never give any nation or international institution a veto over our national security. And I will build a stronger American military.
Indeed, in the proposition that "our national security begins with homeland security," the Kerry doctrine appears to be something close to the mirror image of the Bush doctrine:
And the front lines of this battle are not just far away they're right here on our shores, at our airports, and potentially in any city or town. Today, our national security begins with homeland security. The 9/11 Commission has given us a path to follow, endorsed by Democrats, Republicans, and the 9/11 families. As president, I will not evade or equivocate; I will immediately implement the recommendations of that commission. We shouldn't be letting 95% of container ships come into our ports without ever being physically inspected. We shouldn't be leaving our nuclear and chemical plants without enough protection. And we shouldn't be opening firehouses in Baghdad and shutting them in the United States of America.
Despite its quicksilver shiftiness, Kerry's speech will come back to haunt him in the campaign.

Roger Brown's First and 10: Portsmouth in another title contest
By ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
Trinity defenders Will Shepperd(33) Austin Chambers(26) bring down Portsmouth's Mikel Toar during the first half of their NHIAA Div. II semifinal game hosted at Portsmouth High School Saturday. (Mark Bolton/Union Leader)
Div. I championship at a glance
Pinkerton (9-2) at Concord (11-0), 1 p.m.
Third-seeded Pinkerton Academy of Derry is in the Class L/Division I championship game for the ninth time in the last 10 years, and the 15th time overall. Pinkerton is 10-4 in those games, but lost the last two title contests to Exeter. … Top-seeded Concord is seeking its first state championship since 2000, when it beat Manchester Central 38-0 in the championship game. … Running back Manny Latimore is Pinkerton's marquee player on offense. Latimore has rushed for 1,496 yards and 16 touchdowns on 165 carries this season. He's complimented by fullback Matt Madden, who is also one of the top defensive players in the state. … It's pick your poison when you line up against the Concord offense. The Crimson Tide can strike through the air or on the ground. Quarterback Rob Law has completed 92 of 138 passes for 1,404 yards and 15 touchdowns this season. Seimou Smith is the team's leading receiver with 32 receptions for 620 yards and seven TDs. Walters Ndi has carried the ball 121 times for a team-high 1,095 yards, and running back/slot receiver Marc Gaudet has scored 19 TDs (16 rushing, three receiving). … Concord won the regular-season meeting 21-14 in overtime, but Pinkerton led 14-6 with less than a minute to play in that contest. The Crimson Tide scored on a Law-to-Jacob Szulc 12-yard pass with 51 seconds to play, and added the two-point conversion to force overtime. Ndi scored the game-winning TD in OT, and finished with 160 yards on 26 carries. Latimore led Pinkerton with 173 yards on 22 carries. … Concord's starting defense has allowed 14 TDs in 11 games. ... Pinkerton sacked Law four times in the second half of the regular-season meeting.
Roger Brown's pick: Concord 14, Pinkerton 10
By now, you undoubtedly know that
Chuck Lenahan
will be walking the sideline as Plymouth Regional's football coach for the final time Saturday when the Bobcats face Portsmouth in the Division II championship game.
Lenahan has a 355-70-1 record in 43 seasons at Plymouth and his teams have won 19 state championships, so his final game is certainly a worthy storyline. The game also has an interesting subplot, however, since Portsmouth will likely be playing its final game as a Division II program.
Although not official, Portsmouth is expected to move up to Division I next season, with Manchester West dropping from Division I to Division II. According to Portsmouth coach
Brian Pafford
, Portsmouth appealed in an attempt to remain in Division II, but that appeal was denied.
"I haven't heard anything since then," Pafford said. "If I had to guess I'd say we're going up."
Portsmouth is playing in its sixth consecutive championship game. After three consecutive losses to Souhegan of Amherst in the Division III title game, Portsmouth beat Bedford for the Division III championship in 2011 and defeated Goffstown to win last year's Division III title.
Second-seeded Portsmouth (10-1) will be the road team Saturday even though it beat top-seeded Plymouth (10-1) during the regular season. Not a lot of teams have beaten Plymouth twice in one season. Even fewer have won twice in the same season at Plymouth.
"There's no rocket science in this one," Pafford said. "You can't go toe-to-toe with them. You have to spread them out and make things happen. If it's OK weather I think we can move the ball and put points up.
"Defensively you have to play tough up front. When we watched film on them before our first game we never saw them punt. If we can get one stop a quarter, that's pretty good.
"It's going to be an honor to coach against (Lenahan) in his last game."
- - - - - -
SATURDAY'S Division I championship game between Concord (11-0) and Pinkerton Academy of Derry (9-2) will match teams that each set the school record for points scored in a season this year (467), but from an offensive standpoint, the Astros and Crimson Tide couldn't be more different in how they do things.
Pinkerton runs a wing-T offense that has helped coach
Brian O'Reilly
post a 270-103 record in his 36 seasons as the program's head coach. Concord is among the NHIAA teams that run the spread, which has become popular at the high school and college levels in the last decade.
"That's a crowd-pleasing offense," O'Reilly said when asked about Concord. "That's not what we do. We run the ball."
- - - - - -
STEVENS of Claremont (8-2) will be looking for a big game from senior running back
Donald Pellerin
in Saturday's Division III championship game against Bow (9-1). Pellerin, who also plays varsity baseball and varsity basketball, will enter that contest with 1,377 yards rushing and 22 touchdowns.
"He's exceeded even what I thought he was going to do this season," Stevens coach
Paul Silva
said. "He's very quick, he's got good speed and he's the hardest-working kid I've ever been around."
Pellerin has scored at least one touchdown in every game this season except Bow's 28-14 victory over Stevens during the regular season.

Seven cooks remain to face the toughest battle of their lives and the ultimate showdown for culinary supremacy in ABS-CBN's top-rating kusina serye MasterChef Pinoy Edition.
Three weeks before the grand finale titled MasterChef Pinoy Edition: The Live Cook-off set on February 9, the Top 7 cooks are set to conquer daunting challenges to prove their worth to host Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo, Chef Ferns, Chef Lau, and Chef Jayps.
Carla, the Negosyante Kusinera of Bulacan has come a long way from being a home cook who thought she could only cook for her family and friends. In the MasterChef cooking arena, she has proven to be one of the strongest contenders for her traditional dishes with a twist like sinigang na lechon kawali and pusit stuffed with Bicol Express.
Ivory's flamboyant character reflects her dishes that seem as interesting as the headdresses she wears on the show. Admittedly inexperienced in cooking Filipino food, the Kusina Fashionista of Quezon City uses her experience of traveling to different countries by adding an extra punch to her dishes such as Caribbean embutido.
Another standout personality is JR, the Rakistang Kusinero of Benguet who has gained a bold competitive reputation when he spoke against wildcard contestant Sonny Boy joining the competition again. JR's aggressiveness was evident in the special Christmas challenge, one of the few individual challenges he won in the kusina serye.
Unlike JR, the Chef Accountant of Muntinlupa Myra is a silent but worthy competitor as proven by the judges' positive comments on her dishes. Her fellow cooks see her as a reliable team member who has an extraordinary flair for desserts.
While Reggie always gets dumped by girls, he can always turn his heartbreak into culinary genius. An early frontrunner in the show, the Romantic Kusinero of Laguna is one of the MasterChef cooks with the most number of top dishes, including bibingka deluxe, Pinoy-style shawarma, and longganisa sweet curry. Will he prevail until the very end?
From a humble living in the province, Ronnel is especially skilled in preparing classic Pinoy dishes. Despite his knack for inventing new and unusual dishes, the Boy Labong of Pampanga can whip up a simple yet outstanding dish like a tasty serving of nachos which he prepared and was named the top dish in one of the kusina serye's challenges.
Meanwhile, Sonny Boy kept his fighting spirit burning after being eliminated early in the show and made a solid comeback as a wildcard contestant. Aside from his famous darak cookies, the Darak King of Bataan also made history when he became the first MasterChef cook to prepare the top dishes in two consecutive challenges.
Don't miss the last three weeks of Masterchef Pinoy Edition as the Top 7 cooks fight their way to the top to become the first ever Pinoy MasterChef and win P1 million.
Masterchef Pinoy Edition airs Mondays through Fridays, 10:15AM, before Minute To Win It on ABS-CBN and Saturdays, 10AM, before Be Careful With My Heart: Saturday Rewind. For updates on the program, like www.facebook.com/MasterChefPH, follow @MasterChefPHL on Twitter, or visit www.masterchefph.tv.

Hello moms - I'm at my wits end! I am trying and trying and trying but I just CANNOT seem to increase my pumping output. I have been downing fenugreek, oats, goat's rue, more milk plus, lactation cookies, gallons of water .... I've tried my own pump (Ameda purely yours), a friends pump (medela PIS) and a rented hospital grade pump (Ameda Lact-E - though they told me it was 7/8 years old!) I tried replacing the membranes and even tried the pumpin' pals breast shields. I've tried pumping more often (every hour), longer (45 minutes), pumping before I feed her, after I feed her and pumping one side while feeding off the other, massage, compressions - all to no noticeable avail.
I've been able to see no more than a minor increase and it hasn't been consistent. When I am very lucky and haven't pumped in a while I am able to get almost an ounce out of both sides. In fact for about a week this stayed consistent, but my output seems to have dropped again. Last night after my LO had been sleeping for 4 hours I expected to get a solid pumping but STILL only got barely an ounce! Recently I get about 1/2 - 3/4 ounce on each side lately.
My LO is a little over 3 months. I feed on demand when I'm with her which is almost always (and also makes fitting in pumpings when I'm with her hard) I have been back to work for a little over a month now, but I am only working two days a week. She is with a nanny these two days for about 8 hours and the nanny is telling me that she is crying and crying for more milk. The other day she told me she took THREE 3 oz bottles and then napped for three hours. I know this is too much. I suspect the nanny is offering her too much milk, I know that a baby will take it from the bottle even if they don't "need" it. But the nanny claims she seems hungry still otherwise and doesn't sleep as well. Regardless, I do still suspect she does in fact need more than the 3oz bottles I prepare, but I am pumping all week day and night just to be able to have five 3oz bottles to send her with. I am not coming even close to pumping a full feeding, even when I pump at work.
She is my 2nd child. My son (now 5) was in NICU for six weeks and I pumped gallons of milk, only to end up donating it all because I simply didn't need to give him bottles! Now I need them and can't get the milk out!
I am in good shape, tired - but that is to be expected, eat well but maybe not enough? I am on the Nora B mini pill and am wondering if this could matter? i drink very occasionally now. One drink is all I can tolerate these days. I do feel it when I'm "full" of milk, but not bursting after it's been several hours like I was before. But I also remember this with my son - after a while my breasts never looked or felt full but there was plenty of milk.
Also, LO has been sleeping poorly at night the last week or two. I don't know if this is related or how.
I am going to tell the nanny to give her less because I simply can't produce. I don't want her to be hungry but I also don't want milk wasted just because she *will* take it. I am trying very hard not to turn to supplementing with formula. VERY hard - this would somewhat devastate me (And I do NOT mean that as a criticism or judgement on anyone who does, it's just a personal preference for me. We all do what we have to do)
I feel like I won't be able to stay on top of this. I do NOT feel that it is a supply issue, but rather a pumping output one. What can I do?! Any advice would be appreciated!
*edit* but what if it IS supply - how can I tell? Usually when I pump then feed, I can hear her swallowing still. But frankly she ALWAYS cries when I take her away from the breast, but it's usually fine after a pacifier and 20 seconds.

One seriously injured in Temple crash
June 24. 2013 10:29AM
TEMPLE – A medical helicopter was called in to transport a person seriously injured in a crash on Route 101 Monday morning between a car and a truck.
The crash happened just before 9:30 a.m. in the area of Powers Road, according to fire dispatch.
Emergency responders are also dealing with a diesel fuel spill, the result of the accident.

Authorities expected to arrest the 18-year-old, accused of writing a version of the "Blaster" computer infection, on Friday, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The official asked that further identifying information about the teenager not be disclosed until the arrest.
Further details were expected to be disclosed Friday by the FBI and U.S. attorney's office in Seattle, which has been leading the investigation.
A spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office there, John Hartingh, said there had been "no arrest made in this matter yet." He declined to comment further. BEGIN POSITION 3 END POSITION 3
A witness reportedly saw the teen testing the infection and called authorities, the official said.
Collectively, different versions of the virus-like worm, alternately called "LovSan" or "Blaster," snarled corporate networks worldwide, forcing Maryland's motor vehicle agency to close for one day. The infection inundated networks and frustrated home users.
Symantec Corp., a leading antivirus vendor, said the worm and its variants infected more than 500,000 computers worldwide. Experts consider it one of the worst outbreaks this year.
The "Blaster.B" version of the infection, which began spreading Aug. 13, was remarkably similar to the original Blaster worm that first struck two days earlier; experts said the author made few changes, renaming the infecting-file from "msblast" to an anatomical reference.
All the Blaster virus variants took advantage of a flaw in Microsoft Corp.'s flagship Windows software. Government and industry experts had anticipated such an outbreak since July 16, when Microsoft acknowledged the software problem, which affects Windows technology used to share data files across computer networks.
The infection was quickly dubbed "LovSan" because of a love note left behind on vulnerable computers: "I just want to say LOVE YOU SAN!" Researchers also discovered another message hidden inside the infection that appeared to taunt Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates: "billy gates why do you make this possible? Stop making money and fix your software!"
Infected computers were programmed to automatically launch an attack on a Web site operated by Microsoft, which the software maker easily blunted. The site, windowsupdate.com, is used to deliver repairing software patches to Microsoft customers to prevent against these types of infections.

Irvine Welsh eBooks
Irvine Welsh was born in Scotland, where his most famous book takes place. As a child Welsh grew up in the poor housing units of the port area of Edinburgh. He took a lot away from these memories and turned them into a career.
His book, Trainspotting, became an instant hit, and has acquired a cult following. This was his first novel and was published in 1993. Three years later a very powerful and moving movie was adapted directly from the book with the same title. The movie went on to much success, much like his book did.
The book and the movie portray the lives of several people living in the poor housing units of Edinburgh. The book takes relating short stories of each character and intertwines them all with the rifts in friendships, the debilitating use of heroin, and the boredom and violence of living in the housing units. Most critics agreed that it was the best thing that could happen to Edinburgh and many other areas of Scotland at the time. It revealed a side of Edinburgh, that many were unaware of, or wanted to keep covered up. After this book, there was no covering up the problems that were there.
Welsh has gone on to write other books and screenplays, while living in Dublin, Ireland and then in Chicago, Illinois. He lives with his second wife and has said that he lives an upper-class life where he gets to write and stare out the window, all the while being able to pick up at a moment's notice and dash off to a film festival if he wants to.

NEW ORLEANS (WBRC) - Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron wants to see more than two field goals Monday against the LSU Tigers.
"Playing them the first time was a special experience for me, just the tradition between Alabama and LSU and the rivalry they've always had, but it wasn't that great of an experience coming out with a loss. As a team we felt like we kind of let it slip through our fingers and get away from us in the end."
McCarron and the rest of the Crimson Tide haven't forgetten their only loss this season, which came at the hands of the LSU Tigers in overtime.
"For me personally, I felt like I should have played the game with a little more emotion," McCarron said. "Every game you're not going to be perfect. You just try to eliminate as many mistakes as you possibly can."
Running back and Heisman trophy finalist Trent Richardson said the opportunity for a rematch has generated a lot of motivation.
"This is the most motivated game that we have in the season, as far as being the championship and a rematch, because a lot of people voted us out, didn't want us in this ballgame," Richardson said. "But Monday night we're going to show them why we should have been in this ballgame and why that we shouldn't be voted number two."
McCarron said the loss has helped the offense grow.
"This team has grown since that game," McCarron said. "We don't want to let anything like this ever happen again and slip way from us. And I feel like we've done a great job of proving that we belong here and that we should get a second chance at it."
The offense knows the key to winning will be putting more points on the board and a big night from Trent Richardson.
"It's no secret that he's our most valuable player on offense," Barrett Jones said of Richardson. "I think more than that, he really is just a great team player. You think of Trent, he's a guy that I love blocking for just because of the way he approaches the game. I think it's going to be extremely important for us to get him going in this game, and as an offensive line we know that's our responsibility."

Waukesha man shot 14 times by officers to appear in court
Waukesha man shot 14 times by officers to appear in court
WAUKESHA, Wis. —
A man accused of sparking an officer-involved shooting in Waukesha will appear in court Wednesday.
According to police, Gibson Martin, 44, was suicidal and threatened a family friend who tried to prevent him from jumping off a bridge on April 21.
The criminal complaint states Martin charged toward officers while armed with two knives.
Officers fired bean bags, but they failed to stop Martin.
He was shot 14 times in the incident. A subsequent investigation ruled the shooting was justified.
Martin faces charges of second-degree recklessly endangering safety and obstructing an officer. He has a preliminary hearing Wednesday afternoon.

Back-lit capacitive switch, 35mm. latching
Manufacturer's part number :
Description :
Stadium IGT have developed an innovative method of combining the benefits of capacitive switching with multi-colour area-specific back-lighting. Capacitive switching is a well-established technology. It is particularly beneficial in applications such as public information kiosks, ticket machines, self-service tills, vending machines and other applications where vandalism is a potential hazard. Historically, illuminating capacitive switches has caused problems for designers because the electric field from the light source affects the operation of the capacitive switch, but by using thin film light guides and remote LED light sources, the two technologies can be successfully combined.
The HMI units are extremely reliable and can be fully sealed, enabling them to be installed in environmentally demanding areas such as on board ships, in dirty or dusty environments, in public buildings or in the open.

A visiting priest once told the following story at Mass, and I have always remembered it as a great paschal-Easter witness.
Early in the priest's first assignment, a man named John introduced himself and invited the priest to a family dinner. When he arrived on the appointed evening, the young priest was struck deeply by two things. First, John's wife Rachel was disfigured. Her face was quite scarred, as were her hands and arms. She also moved haltingly. The second thing was the extraordinary love and solicitude everyone in that family had for each other, especially John for Rachel.
The next time he saw John alone the priest asked about Rachel's appearance. This was John's story: "A few years ago we had a house fire in the middle of the night. The whole place went down. When we woke up, we were in a panic. I grabbed Melissa, our 5-year-old, and Rachel grabbed Liz, who was 3. That's what I thought at least, but Rachel thought I had them both. Outside, we realized Liz was still in there. Rachel immediately bolted back into the house, which by now was really ablaze. She found Lizzy crouched behind the toilet hiding. She threw off her coat, wrapped Lizzy up and ran out of there—but obviously not before getting terribly burned herself."
"I'm so sorry," the priest responded. "Thanks, Father," John replied. "But, you know, the whole ordeal forced Rachel and me to rely on God totally. And we've learned to love each other with a depth we never knew we had. When we were married, we were barely Catholic; now our faith dominates our lives. We've never been happier or more in love. And every time I look at her I see not only my beautiful wife; I also see my eternal hero, who saved our baby's life."
Today's Scripture readings are filled with this sort of urgent Easter faith. In John's account, Mary Magdalene discovers the empty tomb and runs to tell Peter and the Beloved Disciple, who dash to the tomb in response. Mary returns and meets the risen Lord. The Easter faith of the Beloved Disciple comes simply from seeing the empty tomb: "He saw and believed." Mary's faith comes from hearing Jesus call her name. She thought him the gardener, at first. Then "Jesus said to her, 'Mary!' She turned and said to him in Hebrew, Rabbouni." She then returns to the disciples to tell them.
In the first reading, we hear Peter speak to the household of Cornelius, a devout gentile whom God sent Peter to visit. Peter recognizes that "God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him." While Peter shares the Gospel, the Holy Spirit interrupts by anointing the household (though this last event falls outside our reading).
What is most impressive about Peter, the Beloved Disciple and Mary Magdalene—and John and Rachel, as well—is not simply their experience of Easter faith, but their subsequent witness to it. Peter refers in his speech to witnessing three different times, being himself one of the "witnesses chosen by God in advance." I see the Beloved Disciple witnessing by being the first to recognize the Lord in Galilee: "It is the Lord" (Jn 21:7). And Mary has become known as the apostola apostolorum (apostle of the apostles).
Expressing Easter faith can take many forms. Peter's witness was quite public and bold. For most, however, our faith expresses itself in the context of the mundane and in humbler circumstances. Here our Easter faith can show itself powerfully, even if subtly. Paul recognizes this in the second reading. "For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory."
Easter faith is a gift. Witnessing to it, however bold or subtle, is an imperative. And this witness, this gift that we give back, is itself a great grace.

The most extensive exhibition to date from the Museum's own collection, The Moderns, explores the development of modernity in Ireland through the visual arts in the period 1900 to 1975. This part of the exhibition focuses on the 1960s and 1970s and continues through the 3rd April 2011.

Talk about a chaotic situation that could have been far worse given the possibility of worse weather conditions.
An 8-point buck ran into a lane of a turnpike near Oak Ridge, Tenn., and was struck by 20-year old Deahna Moore. The deer then crawled into the eastbound lanes of traffic. A woman stopped her Lexus in the road for the deer, and a man stopped his truck behind her car, with his hazard lights on.
Foggy conditions and terrain caused what officials say was a three-car chain reaction when a third vehicle struck the man's truck, which hit the Lexus and knocked it off the road.
A traffic jam ensued. One person was transported to the hospital.

Hertz to interview Wimbledon stars
Dubai, June 17, 2012
The Hertz Corporation, leading general use car rental brand and official transport provider for Wimbledon, has announced that it will give fans unique access to the world's leading tennis stars through exclusive daily interviews during this year's tournament.
On each day of the tournament, which starts on June 25, one player or official will be interviewed as part of the new 'Driving The Championships' video series with Hertz and The All England Lawn Tennis Club's Live @ Wimbledon initiative.
The interviews will be filmed in the Hertz cars as the players make their way to The Championships, a statement from the company said. The footage will be uploaded daily to www.wimbledon.com, the new Live @ Wimbledon channel, and will be available via links from www.hertz.co.uk as well as the Hertz Facebook and Twitter feeds.
Michel Taride, president, Hertz International, and executive vice president, Hertz Corporation, said: "It has always been a great honour to support The Championships by transporting players and officials to and from the world's greatest tennis event."
"For the first time ever their journeys to The Championships will be recorded - providing fans with an exclusive insight into players' thoughts, expectations and ambitions for the tournament - as we celebrate 18 years as the official transport provider," he said.
Footage of the journeys will be captured throughout The Championships until July 8, the statement said. Tennis stars from both the ladies and gentlemen draws will be transported in Hertz vehicles while competing in the premier lawn tennis tournament on the professional circuit.
The 'Driving The Championships' video diaries will be filmed in a Ford Galaxy Zetec brought in by Hertz specifically for the purpose.
A fleet of 164 Ford vehicles, made up of the Galaxy and SMax, as well as two coaches and luggage vans, will be used to transport more than 32,000 passengers, it said.
A partner of Hertz for over 20 years, Ford has supplied vehicles for Wimbledon since Hertz became the official transport provider in 1996.
A team of 296 drivers and 40 supervisors will operate the Hertz fleet which in 2011 completed 17,000 journeys, carrying more than 32,000 passengers and covering 250,000 miles. During the first four days of The Championships, Hertz will carry out more than 1,000 journeys per day.
Hertz has been working with a number of its partners offering customers across the globe chances to win tickets to Wimbledon and other travel prizes. These partners include Aegean Airlines, Aer Lingus, Etihad, Flying Blue (Air France/KLM), Lufthansa Miles & More, SAS EuroBonus, Virgin Atlantic, AA and Saga, Adac (Germany), ARC Show Your Card, and Nectar. – TradeArabia News Service
