Hi mizrahi,

The following getRecords function should retrieve records that were created after the current date last year:

  // news items
  list($news_itemsRecords, $news_itemsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
    'tableName'   => 'news_items',
    'loadUploads' => true,
    'allowSearch' => false,
    'perPage'     => '20',
    'where'    =>   "(removeDate >= NOW() OR removeDate='0000-00-00 00:00:00') AND (`createdDate` >= '".date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-1 year'))."')"
    'ignoreRemoveDate' =>  true,
  )); 


Then this function would retrieve records that are older than a year:

  // news items
  list($news_itemsRecords, $news_itemsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
    'tableName'   => 'news_items',
    'loadUploads' => true,
    'allowSearch' => false,
    'perPage'     => '20',
    'where'    =>   "`createdDate` < '".date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-1 year'))."')"
    'ignoreRemoveDate' =>  true,
  )); 



So the strtotime function can take a string that tell it to carry out some basic date math (for example '2013-03-10 - 1 year', '+1 week ', etc).

I've used this function to get the date from last year formatted for MySQL. You might need to change the date column that this statement searches. 

Thanks!
