A mandatory recount on Friday affirmed Ralph Norman's photo-finish victory in this week's runoff with Tommy Pope for the GOP slot on the 5th District congressional ballot.
Norman will face Democrat Archie Parnell and three minor-party candidates in the June 20 special election to fill the seat vacated when Mick Mulvaney became White House budget director.
State law required Friday's recount because Norman's victory margin was 1 percent or less of the total votes cast.
Ralph Norman defeated Tommy Pope by the thinnest of margins in Tuesday's 5th Congressional District GOP runoff, but the race isn't over yet.
When the unofficial results were tallied, Norman was 203 votes ahead with a little more than 35,000 votes cast.
With all 11 counties reporting, Norman had 17,772 votes to Pope's 17,572.
COLUMBIA – The S.C. gas-tax increase looks like a done deal, even if Gov. Henry McMaster vetoes it later this week.
The S.C. House passed a compromise plan Tuesday that raises the state's gas tax by a total of 12 cents a gallon over six years and increases other driving fees to create long-term funding for road repairs across the state.
House Speaker Jay Lucas called the legislation the most significant infrastructure bill to pass the General Assembly in three decades.
NEWBERRY – The businessman who finished fourth in last week's seven-candidate 5th District Republican Party primary has endorsed fellow businessman Ralph Norman in the upcoming May 16 GOP runoff.
On Monday, Chad Connelly announced his support of Norman, who faces Tommy Pope in next week's runoff.
A former member of the S.C. House, Norman is a real estate developer from Rock Hill.
"They say nobody likes losing, but if you're gonna lose, you ought to lose to somebody who thinks like you," Connelly said.
Of the local issues facing Lancaster County Panhandle residents, none seem to stir passions quite like one in particular – incorporation.
With two such efforts in the works, one for Van Wyck, the other for Indian Land, and vocal opposition to the latter, District 7 Lancaster County Councilman Brian Carnes is sponsoring a forum on the issue May 9 at Transformation Church, 8978 Charlotte Highway.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the forum begins at 7 p.m. sharp.
Tuesday's GOP primary results in the 5th District congressional race couldn't have been much closer.
For top finishers Ralph Norman and Tommy Pope, it was a virtual stalemate. Each got 30 percent of the vote, with Pope ending up 118 votes ahead of Norman in the unofficial results to set up the May 16 runoff.
The key to victory is going to be a fast start, said Sandy McGarry, Lancaster Republican Party chairwoman.
Lancaster City Council has unanimously approved a two-year contract to share jail services with the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office because the cells at the Municipal Justice Center are outdated.
The contract's annual fee will be $54,480, roughly what the city has been spending on jail services.
The agreement, approved by city council April 25, will now go to Lancaster County Council for a vote. If approved, the contract will begin July 1 and end June 30, 2019.
S.C. Rep. Tommy Pope and Rock Hill businessman Ralph Norman will meet in a May 16 runoff to determine who will represent the Republican Party in the special election for the open 5th District congressional seat.
The winner will face Democrat Archie Parnell of Sumter, along with candidates Josh Kulma (Green Party), Victor Kocher (Libertarian Party), Josh Thornton (American Party) and Bill Bledsoe (Constitution Party) in the June 20 special election to fill the remainder of Mick Mulvaney's term in the U.S. House.
The chairman of the Lancaster County Republican Party is stepping down due a conflict of interest with his new job.
Allen Blackmon submitted his resignation to party officials Monday after he was appointed associate municipal court judge for the city of Lancaster.
The S.C. Judicial Department's Code on Judicial Conduct bars judges from taking an active role in politics.
"With my new job, I don't have a choice," Blackmon said.
INDIAN LAND – A portion of Tuesday night's 5th Congressional District forum disintegrated into a verbal free-for-all when audience members started shouting down candidates trying to answer a question about President Trump's first 100 days in office.
The 90-minute forum at Cross Ridge was hosted by the Indian Land Action Council and moderated by school board member Melvin Stroble. It was the last multi-candidate forum scheduled before before next week's special election primaries.

NORTH CANTON, OH — The Army is trying a new tactic when it comes to the fitness of its recruits — restructuring its Recruit Sustainment Program (RSP). That effort has paid off in a lower recruit attrition rate.
Captain Robert H. Paley administers the program, which helps integrate recruits into their new role as soldiers and prepares them for Army basic combat training.
Although the RSP has been around in concept for many years, recent innovations and an active interest on the part of Ohio state leadership have taken the program to a whole new level, Paley said.
Gone are the days when new troops see their recruiter only as long as it takes to enlist them and send them to their unit. Now, new recruits are assigned to the recruiting command and do not report to their units until they return from initial entry training. Individual recruiters act as squad leaders to their new recruits, preparing them both mentally and physically for the challenges they will soon face.
The recently restructured program sees the recruits through three phases. In the red phase, which is the indoctrination phase, newly enlisted troops report to the RSP for their first drill. They receive introductory briefings and attend classes about Army values, personal finance and military customs and courtesies. Recruits enter the white phase, which is the longest phase, during their second drill assembly. During this phase, the troops continue to receive classroom instruction and hands-on training in basic soldiering skills. In the blue phase, recruits attend one final drill assembly before shipping out. They go to Columbus with their recruiters to meet with the battalion staff and receive a physical fitness assessment and overall check to ensure they're ready to report for initial entry training.
Prior to recent improvements in the RSP, training pipeline losses (a statistic that tracks recruits from signing to actually shipping) ran as high as 40 percent. The losses were tough on recruiters who had to cover the same ground twice, Paley said. Since the program started in May, the attrition rate has decreased to about 10 percent, exceeding all expectations and causing a lot of excitement, he said.

Keep garbage in a secure building or a bear-resistant trash can.
Never leave trash or food outside overnight, and only put trash out on trash day.
Clean trash containers regularly with ammonia or bleach to get rid of food odors.
Don't use birdfeeders in the warm months when bears are active. Wait until November through March to put out feeders.
To attract birds in the summer months, use water features, plantings and natural flowers, not birdseed.
Pick fruit before it ripens and clean up fallen fruit from your yard.
Don't leave out pet food.
Make sure no food or other smelly items are left in your car.
Burn food off of barbecue grills and clean them after each use.
If you see a bear near your home, do your best to scare it away so it feels unwelcome around people. Never approach or corner a bear.

A young bear that found its way into a Boulder neighborhood was tranquilized by wildlife rangers Tuesday morning after climbing a tree.
The bear, which officials said was a yearling, was spotted at about 8 a.m. in a backyard tree in the 1400 block of North Street. It climbed down at about 9:30 a.m. but then climbed up a second tree a few houses away, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife rangers decided to tranquilize and relocate the animal.
Casey Middle School, a few blocks away, did not close while wildlife officials dealt with the bear, but faculty members were outside making sure students went straight to their classes upon arriving and did not wander around outside.
Last week, another bear closed Eben G. Fine Park after camping out in a tree. That bear eventually came down Friday morning after the park had been closed all day Thursday.
Jennifer Churchill, a spokeswoman for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, said rangers have been receiving lots of reports of bear sightings in Boulder over the last few days. She said this is the time of year when bears need to consume 20,000 calories a day to prepare for hibernation. Rangers say there is a food shortage, and the dry weather is not helping.
"We are concerned they will likely get into more conflicts with humans," Churchill said.
She said residents should be sure to clean up and remove anything edible from their backyards, including trash, birdfeeders and fallen fruit.
Dave Sutherland, a naturalist who has worked for Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks for 15 years, said people often do a poor job of cleaning up trash and other attractants.
"It's perennial. It's like the autumn leaves start coming down and bears start coming down and eating people's pizza boxes," Sutherland said. "People in town are frequently really bad about leaving food or edible resources out for bears."
Sutherland noted that 20,000 calories is equivalent to more than 30 Big Macs, so bears are ravenous enough to eat just about anything in the fall. That makes seemingly harmless things like birdseed and pet food an easy meal, Sutherland said.
"If we could just get people to be a lot better about locking up bear food, they'd come into town and find that it's slim pickings and then they'd go back up into the mountains and eat berries like they're supposed to," he said.
Another mistake Sutherland said many people make in urban environments is not calling wildlife officials because they believe rangers will come to hurt or kill the bear. He said there are many options wildlife officials employ before resorting to tranquilizing or killing a bear.
They include hazing the animals to make them weary of people, and using volunteer "bear sitters" to ensure a bear in an urban area does not become agitated or aggressive toward people while authorities wait for it to return to the foothills on its own.
"Calling the bear in is one of the best things you can do to ensure its safety," Sutherland said. "What we're trying to do is save the bear's life."

Tenofovir: Gilead Applies for Approval; Expanded Access Liberalized
May 11, 2001
A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information!
Tenofovir, Gilead Sciences' candidate reverse transcriptase inhibitor, could be approved in about six months. In an unexpected move, the company announced May 1 that it had filed a New Drug Application with the FDA. After approval, tenofovir could be prescribed for any adult with HIV, according to the company's proposed labeling. Gilead will soon proceed with similar marketing applications in Europe.
Tenofovir, or PMPA, stops the infection of new cells by halting the gene-building activity of HIV's reverse transcriptase enzyme. The drug is similar to nucleoside analogs such as ddI but requires less intracellular processing to reach its active state. Tenofovir is distinguished by its long intracellular half-life, which allows once-a-day dosing. It also has a somewhat different resistance profile than the standard nucleoside analogs, so it may be active against many HIV isolates that have mutated to resist the approved nucleoside analogs. In trials so far, resistance to tenofovir has been slow to develop -- although it has been found.
Tenofovir's safety profile is considerably improved over adefovir, a closely related compound developed by Gilead. Adefovir was rejected by the FDA because of severe kidney toxicities coupled with modest efficacy.
Gilead's new drug may be helpful in a salvage regimen, but it does not represent any dramatic breakthrough. In a 189-person phase II treatment-intensification trial,1 tenofovir was added to volunteers' previous regimens at doses of 0 mg (placebo), 75 mg, 150 mg or 300 mg per day. The trial participants had a mean 4.6 years prior anti-HIV therapy and a mean baseline viral load of 5,000. At study entry, 94% of the enrollees also had HIV with mutations conferring resistance to various nucleoside analogs, principally AZT and 3TC. HIV in more than half of the participants also had resistance to protease inhibitors. The trial participants on 300 mg/day -- the preferred dose -- recorded viral load reductions averaging about 0.6 log (75%) through both weeks 24 and 48. The presence or absence of AZT or 3TC resistance was not associated with a major difference in the response. The modest, stable viral load reduction was not accompanied by any appreciable change in CD4 count, either.
Gilead scientists are reporting almost identical preliminary results from a similar 552-person phase III treatment-intensification trial. Both these trials make it clear that tenofovir requires concomitant active antiretrovirals from other drug classes to form a regimen that can successfully suppress HIV. This is true in treatment-naive individuals, who appear to have a better response to tenofovir, as it is in those with a history of treatment failure. In its 600-person phase III trial for those without prior treatment, Gilead is comparing tenofovir directly to the nucleoside analog d4T, each combined with the nucleoside analog 3TC and the NNRTI efavirenz.
Expanded Access: Gilead Drops CD4, Viral Load ExclusionsSince last February, an expanded-access program has been open to people whose advanced disease state and treatment history mandate immediate use of new drugs to suppress their HIV (see AIDS Treatment News #360, February 23, 2001). Gilead always intended that this program would be very small. It at first restricted entry to persons with viral loads over 10,000 and CD4 counts under 100 -- plus documented treatment failure with at least two protease inhibitors or one PI and one non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). (Those with a CD4 count between 100 and 200 could also apply if they had had an AIDS-defining opportunistic infection within the last 90 days.)
Expanded-access enrollment has been even slower than anticipated. Public dissatisfaction over the paltry enrollment figures led Gilead to abandon its viral load and CD4 count entry criteria. As to speeding up the enrollment process, Debbie Fletcher of Gilead said in an interview, "About 20% of the doctors have submitted incomplete registration materials and had their applications returned. The paper work can go back and forth and back and forth. Our field representatives will follow up with the physicians who don't finish filling out the forms."
One HIV specialist summed up his frustrating experience with Gilead: "Paperwork did go back and forth. It took them weeks to turn it around and tell you they needed something more. Then you would send that, and they would come up with something else."
The Coalition for Salvage Therapy has asked the company for a full and regular accounting of the program's enrollment. In a strongly worded letter, this national activist network said that applicants to the program "are not only patients with few or no remaining options for treatment, but also patients whose disease has been allowed to progress to the point where 'waiting for things to get sorted out' with the program is simply not an option." The Coalition had long pressured Gilead for a much broader expanded-access distribution before finally settling for the present restricted effort.
For the expanded-access program, Gilead advises doctors to prescribe at least one new anti-HIV agent in addition to tenofovir. Tenofovir naturally substitutes for other nucleoside analogs, not for protease inhibitors or NNRTIs. Some treatment activists have argued that Gilead should abandon the requirement that enrollees have past failure with PIs or NNRTIs. The program should be open to anyone lacking new nucleoside analogs to create a viable treatment combination.
This is the way tenofovir expanded access works in France, where the drug is recommended for patients with nucleoside analog intolerance or with nucleoside analog-resistant HIV, as demonstrated by resistance assays. In the United Kingdom, tenofovir is available to any patient who, in the judgment of his or her doctor, could not otherwise construct an effective anti-HIV regimen. Regulations in both countries preclude strict entry criteria, including CD4 count or viral load limits.
When tenofovir is approved, the issues around expanded access will be largely academic. At least the program is growing. Enrollment has picked up dramatically in the U.S., where about 150 people are now signed up. Also, Gilead has asked Germany, Italy and Spain for permission to extend the program beyond the U.S., UK and France. Further information can be obtained from Gilead at 1-800-Gilead-5 in the US and 33-1-44-90-34-46 in Europe.

The cytoskeletal actin filamentous network is anchored, in part, by focal adhesion contacts and adherens junctions, which are membrane-associated complexes that serve as nucleation sites for the filament termini. These centers also act as crosslinkers between the exterior cell matrix, plasma membrane, and actin cytoskeleton. Serving to connect the extracellular matrix to the actin cytoskeleton, the focal adhesion sites function as strategic structural elements. In addition, these complexes perform as sites of cellular signal transduction by initiating signaling pathways in response to new adhesion contacts. Among other proteins, focal adhesion junctions contain integrin-type receptors that are attached to the extracellular matrix and are associated with complexes containing vinculin (a universal focal adhesion marker), talin, alpha-actinin, tensin, paxillin, zyxin, and focal adhesion kinase.
An adherent culture of the HeLa cervical carcinoma epithelial cells (illustrated above) was immunofluorescently labeled with anti-vinculin mouse monoclonal primary antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab heavy and light chain fragments conjugated to Cy3 (red emission). In addition, the specimen was simultaneously stained for DNA with the ultraviolet-absorbing probe Hoechst 33342, and for the cytoskeletal filamentous actin network with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Ryan Nelsen says Tottenham cannot afford to dwell on Monday's shock home defeat at the hands of Norwich ahead of this weekend's FA Cup semi-final meeting with Chelsea.
Harry Redknapp's side were booed off by some sections of the crowd after the Premier League new boys earned a fully-deserved three points at White Hart Lane.
Spurs' stuttering form means Champions League qualification is now far from assured, despite competing for the title for much of the season.
But the race for fourth takes a back seat on Sunday and Nelsen has called for focus.
"It's horrible, losing is not a good feeling," he told Spurs TV Online. "It was a big game and, in all honesty, you've got to give a lot of credit to Norwich.
"The Premier League is a fairly humbling place to play. No matter how talented your team, you've got to be going out 100%, and Norwich were.
"But we've got to put it behind us now, and look ahead to Sunday's FA Cup semi-final. It's a big game for the Club and a great opportunity.
"There will be a lot of twists and turns before the end of the season. It's easy to get very down about one result but what happens in two week's time, two game's time, it can be a whole different picture.
"What we've got to do is concentrate on ourselves, concentrate on winning, and hopefully remedying results like this."
Nelson is expected to start at Wembley with first-choice central defenders Ledley King and Younes Kaboul both major doubts for the game.
William Gallas is nursing an injury and unlikely to face Roberto di Matteo's side, while Michael Dawson has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Sebastien Bassong is on loan at Wolves and youngster Steven Calulker is spending the season with Swansea.

So, MLB writers, you've never heard of any of the Astros players?
Jason Castro - In his first full, healthy season, Castro was an All-Star. What's that? He was only there because the Astros had to have a representative? I guess putting up the 2nd highest WAR among AL catchers isn't worthy of note.
Jesus Guzman - Despite calling one of the worst hitters' parks home for the past three years, and only playing part-time at that, Guzman is 10th over the last three seasons in 1B WAR in the NL. That's in only 910 plate appearances. No one else in the top 15 has fewer than 1000 plate appearances.
Jose Altuve - Altuve was an All-Star in 2012. Over the past two seasons, he's second among ML 2nd basemen in batting average (qualified batters) and 1st in stolen bases. Not to mention the national recognition he received from the How Many Altuves phenomenon.
Jonathan Villar - Ok, so he's only played half a season, but what a half season it was! There was the amazing steal of home, and the infamous butt-slide. Not to mention being a top 100 prospect coming up.
Matt Dominguez - In his first full season, Dominguez was 8th in HR among ML 3rd basemen.
Dexter Fowler - Fowler is a six year veteran, finished 8th in ROY voting in 2009, and led the league in both triples and CF fielding percentage in 2010.
Chris Carter - Carter was ranked as high as 11th as a prospect coming up. He challenged the all-time record in strikeouts. And he finished 15th in HR in the majors last season.
Scott Feldman - Feldman was in the top 1/3 of starters ERA last season among qualified pitchers.
Chad Qualls - Qualls is a former closer for Arizona with 9 years in the majors and World Series experience.
Matt Albers - Albers has a 2.77 ERA over the last two seasons and is an 8 year veteran.
Jarred Cosart - Cosart took a no-hitter into the 7th inning in his major league debut and was a top 50 prospect coming up. There's also the twitter stuff he got a lot of attention for this off-season.
Brad Peacock - Peacock is another guy who was a top 50 prospect very recently.
Jesse Crain - Crain was an All-Star last season and is 8th among AL relievers in WAR over the last four seasons. He finished 8th in ROY voting in 2005. AS A RELIEVER!
My point in this isn't necessarily that the Astros have a world-beating roster this season. My point is simply this: If you haven't heard of any of the players on this roster, you haven't been paying attention.

Like I said, the point isn't that the Astros are better than people think they are. The point is if you haven't heard of any of them you're an ignorant excuse of a national baseball media member.

No clue. I think they were calling him Cece? Which is weird, cause I have a cat named Cece. Either way, he looked like minor league talent to me.

This chapter serves to better acquaint you with the basics of PHP, offering insight into its roots, popularity, and users. This information sets the stage for a discussion of PHP's feature set, including the new features in PHP 5. By the conclusion of this chapter, you'll learn how a Canadian developer's Web page hit counter spawned one of the world's most popular scripting languages; what PHP's developers have done to once again reinvent the language, making version 5 the best yet released; and which features of PHP continue to attract new programmers.
The origins of PHP date back to 1995, when an independent software development contractor named Rasmus Lerdorf developed a Perl/CGI script that enabled him to know how many visitors were reading his online résumé. His script performed two tasks: logging visitor information, and displaying the count of visitors to the Web page. Because the Web as we know it today was still young at that time, tools such as these were nonexistent, and they prompted e-mails inquiring about Lerdorf's scripts. Lerdorf thus began giving away his toolset, dubbed Personal Home Page (PHP).
The clamor for the PHP toolset prompted Lerdorf to begin developing additions to PHP, one of which converted data entered in an HTML form into symbolic variables that allowed users to export them to other systems. To accomplish this, he opted to continue development in C code rather than Perl. Ongoing additions to the PHP toolset culminated in November 1997 with the release of PHP 2.0, or Personal Home Page — Form Interpreter (PHP-FI). As a result of PHP's rising popularity, the 2.0 release was accompanied by a number of enhancements and improvements from programmers worldwide.
The new PHP release was extremely popular, and a core team of developers soon joined Lerdorf. They kept the original concept of incorporating code directly alongside HTML and rewrote the parsing engine, giving birth to PHP 3.0. By the June 1998 release of version 3.0, over 50,000 users were using PHP to enhance their Web pages.
NOTE 1997 also saw the change of the words underlying the PHP abbreviation from Personal Home Page to Hypertext Preprocessor.
Development continued at a hectic pace over the next two years, with hundreds of functions being added and the user count growing in leaps and bounds. At the beginning of 1999, Netcraft (http://www.netcraft.com/) reported a conservative estimate of a user base surpassing 1,000,000, making PHP one of the most popular scripting languages in the world. Its popularity surpassed even the greatest expectations of the developers, as it soon became apparent that users intended to use PHP to power far larger applications than was originally anticipated. Two core developers, Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans, took the initiative to spearhead a complete rethinking of the way PHP operated, culminating in a rewriting of the PHP parser, dubbed the Zend scripting engine. The result of this work was seen in the release of PHP 4.
NOTE In addition to leading development of the Zend engine, and playing a major role in steering the overall development of the PHP language, Zend Technologies Ltd. (http://www.zend.com/), based in Israel, offers a host of tools for developing and deploying PHP. These include the Zend Development Studio, Zend Encoder, and the Zend Optimizer, among others.

{mospagebreak title=PHP 4 Features}
On May 22, 2000, roughly 18 months after the first official announcement of the new development effort, PHP 4.0 was released. Many considered the release of PHP 4 to be the language's official debut within the enterprise development scene, an opinion backed by the language's meteoric rise in popularity. Just a few months after the major release, Netcraft (http://www.netcraft.net/) estimated that PHP had been installed on over 3.6 million domains, making it one of the most popular scripting languages in the world.
PHP 4 included several enterprise-level improvements, including the following:
- Improved resource handling: One of version 3.x's primary drawbacks was scalability. This was largely because the designers underestimated how much the language would be used for large-scale applications. The language wasn't originally intended to run enterprise-class Web sites, and subsequent attempts to do so caused the developers to rethink much of the language's mechanics. The result was vastly improved resource-handling functionality in version 4.
- Object-oriented support: Version 4 incorporated a degree of object-oriented functionality, although it was largely considered an unexceptional implementation. Nonetheless, the new features played an important role in attracting users used to working with traditional object-oriented programming (OOP) languages. Standard class and object development methodologies were made available, in addition to object overloading, and run-time class information. A much more comprehensive OOP implementation has been made available in version 5, and is introduced in Chapter 5.
- Native session-handling support: HTTP session-handling, available to version 3.x users through the third-party package PHPLIB (http://phplib.sourceforge.net), was natively incorporated into version 4. This feature offers developers a means for tracking user/site interactions with unparalleled efficiency and ease. Chapter 13 covers PHP's session-handling capabilities.
- Encryption: The MCrypt (http://mcrypt.sourceforge.net) library was incorporated into the default distribution, offering users both full and hash encryption using encryption algorithms including Blowfish, MD5, SHA1, and TripleDES, among others. Chapter 16 delves into PHP's encryption capabilities.
- ISAPI support: ISAPI support offered users the ability to use PHP in conjunction with Microsoft's IIS Web server as an ISAPI module, greatly increasing its performance and security.
- Native COM/DCOM support: Another bonus for Windows users is PHP 4's ability to access and instantiate COM objects. This functionality opens up a wide range of interoperability with Windows applications.
- Native Java support: In another boost to PHP's interoperability, support for binding to Java objects from a PHP application was made available in version 4.0.
- Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) library: The Perl language has long been heralded as the reigning royalty of the string parsing kingdom. The developers knew that powerful regular expression functionality would play a major role in the widespread acceptance of PHP, and opted to simply incorporate Perl's functionality rather than reproduce it, rolling the PCRE library package into PHP's default distribution (as of version 4.2.0). Chapter 9 introduces this important feature in great detail, and offers a general introduction to the often confusing regular expression syntax.
In addition to these features, literally hundreds of functions were added to version 4, greatly enhancing the language's capabilities. Throughout the course of this book, I'll discuss much of this functionality, as it remains equally important in the version 5 release.
PHP 4 represented a gigantic leap forward in the language's maturity. The new functionality, power, and scalability offered by the new version swayed an enormous number of burgeoning and expert developers alike, resulting in its firm establishment among the Web scripting behemoths. Yet maintaining user adoration in the language business is a difficult task; programmers often hold a "what have you done for me lately" mindset. The PHP development team kept this notion close at hand, because it wasn't too long before they began yet another monumental task, one that could establish PHP as the 800-pound gorilla of Web scripting languages: Version 5.{mospagebreak title=PHP 5 Features}
Version 5, in beta at the time of this writing, is sizing up to be yet another watershed in the evolution of the PHP language. Although previous major releases had enormous numbers of new library additions, version 5 contains improvements over existing functionality and adds several features commonly associated with mature programming language architectures.
- Vastly improved object-oriented capabilities: Improvements to PHP's object-oriented architecture is version 5's most visible feature. Version 5 includes numerous functional additions such as explicit constructors and destructors, object cloning, class abstraction, variable scoping, interfaces, and a major improvement regarding how PHP handles object management. Chapters 6 and 7 delve into the subject of object-oriented PHP.
- Try/catch exception handling: Devising custom error-handling strategies within structural programming languages is, ironically, error-prone and inconsistent. To remedy this problem, version 5 now supports exception handling. Long a mainstay of error management in many languages, C++, C#, Python, and Java included, exception handling offers an excellent means for standardizing your error reporting logic. This new and convenient methodology is introduced in Chapter 8.
- Improved string handling: Prior versions of PHP have treated strings as arrays by default, a practice indicative of the language's traditional loose-knit attitude towards datatypes. This strategy has been tweaked in version 5, in which a specialized string offset syntax has been introduced, and the previous methodology has been deprecated. The new features, changes, and effects offered by this new syntax are discussed in Chapter 9.
- Improved XML and Web Services support: XML support is now based on the libxml2 library, and a new and rather promising extension for parsing and manipulating XML, known as SimpleXML, has been introduced. In addition, a SOAP extension is now available. In Chapter 18 I'll introduce SimpleXML and the new SOAP extension, and also demonstrate a number of slick third-party Web Services extensions.
- Native support for SQLite: Always keen on choice, the developers have added support for the powerful yet compact SQLite database server. SQLite offers a convenient solution for developers looking for many of the features found in some of the heavyweight database products without incurring the accompanying administrative overhead. I introduce SQLite and PHP's support for this powerful database engine in Chapter 20.
A host of other improvements and additions are offered in version 5, many of which I'll introduce as relevant throughout the book. When practical, I'll be sure to introduce these improvements as the book proceeds.
As the release of PHP 5 draws near, PHP's prevalence is at a historical high. At press time, PHP has been installed on more than 15 million domains (Netcraft, http://www.netcraft.com/). According to E-Soft, Inc. (http://www.securityspace.com/), PHP is by far the most popular Apache module, present on over 50 percent of all Apache installations.
So far, I've only discussed version-specific features of the language. Each version shares a common set of characteristics that play a very important role in attracting and retaining a large user base. In the next section, you'll learn about these foundational features.{mospagebreak title=General Language Features of PHP}
Every user has his or her own specific reason for using PHP to implement a mission-critical application, although I find that such motives tend to fall into what I like to call the four pillars of PHP: Practicality, Power, Possibility, and Price.Practicality
From the very start, the PHP language was created with practicality in mind. After all, Lerdorf's original intention was not to design an entirely new language, but to resolve a problem that had no immediately applicable solution. Furthermore, much of PHP's early evolution was not the result of the explicit intention to improve the language itself, but rather to increase its utility to the user. The result is what I like to call a minimalist language, in terms of what is required of the user, and in terms of the language's syntactical requirements. For starters, a useful PHP script can consist of as little as one line; there is no need for the mandatory inclusion of libraries like in C. For example, the following represents a complete PHP script, the purpose of which is to output the current date, such as March 16, 2004:
<?php echo date("F j, Y");?>
Another example of the language's penchant for compactness is its ability to nest functions. For example, I can effect numerous changes to a value on the same line by stacking functions in a particular order, in this case producing a pseudorandom string of five alphanumeric characters, such as "a3jh8":
$randomString = substr(md5(microtime()), 0, 5);
PHP is a loosely-typed language, which also increases its practicality. For example, there is no need to explicitly create, typecast, or destroy a variable, although you are not prevented from doing so. PHP handles all of this for you, creating variables on the fly as they are called in a script, employing a best guess formula for automatically typecasting variables, and finally, automatically destroying variables and returning resources back to the system when the script completes. In these and many other respects, the language allows the developer to concentrate almost exclusively on the final goal (a working application), attempting to handle many of the administrative aspects of programming internally.Power
In the earlier introduction to PHP 5, I alluded to the fact that the new version is more qualitative than quantitative in comparison to previous versions. Previous major versions were accompanied by enormous additions to PHP's default libraries, to the tune of several hundred new functions per release. Presently, 113 libraries are available, collectively containing well over 1,000 functions. Although you're likely aware of PHP's ability to interface with databases, manipulate form information, and create pages dynamically, did you know that PHP can:
- Create and manipulate Macromedia Flash, image, and Portable Document Format (PDF) files
- Evaluate a password for guessability by comparing it to language dictionaries, and easily broken patterns
- Communicate with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
- Parse even the most complex of strings using both the POSIX and Perl-based regular expression libraries
- Authenticate users against login credentials stored in flat files, databases, and even Microsoft's Active Directory
- Communicate with a wide variety of protocols, including IMAP, POP3, NNTP, and DNS, among others
- Communicate with a wide array of credit-card processing solutions
Of course, I'll strive to cover as many of PHP's interesting and useful features as possible in the coming chapters.
PHP developers are rarely bound to any single implementation solution. On the contrary, a user can easily be overwhelmed by the number of choices offered by the language. For example, consider PHP's array of database support options. Native support is offered for over twenty-five database products, including Adabas D, dBase, Empress, FilePro, FrontBase, Hyperwave, IBM DB2, Informix, Ingres, Interbase, mSQL, direct MS-SQL, MySQL, Oracle, Ovrimos, PostgreSQL, Solid, Sybase, Unix dbm, and Velocis. In addition, abstraction layer functions are available for accessing Berkeley DB-style databases. Finally, two database abstraction layers are available, one called the dbx module, and another via PEAR, titled the PEAR DB.
PHP's powerful string-parsing capabilities is another feature indicative of the possibility offered to users. In addition to more than eighty-five string manipulation functions, two distinct regular expression formats are supported POSIX and Perl-compatible. This flexibility not only offers users of differing skill sets the opportunity to immediately begin performing complex string operations, but also to quickly port programs of similar functionality (such as Perl and Python) over to PHP.
Do you prefer a language that embraces functional programming? How about one that embraces the object-oriented paradigm? PHP offers comprehensive support for both. Although PHP was originally a solely functional language, the developers soon came to realize the importance of offering the popular OOP paradigm, and took the steps to implement an extensive solution.
The recurring theme here is that PHP allows you to quickly capitalize on your current skill set with very little time investment. The examples set forth here are but a small sampling of this idea, which can be found repeatedly throughout the language.Price
Since its inception, PHP has been without usage, modification, and redistribution restrictions. In recent years, software meeting such open licensing qualifications been referred to as open-source software. Open-source software and the Internet go together like bread and butter. Open-source projects like Sendmail, Bind, Linux, and Apache all play enormous roles in the ongoing operations of the Internet at large. Although the fact that open-source software is available free has been the characteristic most promoted by the media, several other characteristics are equally important if not more so:
- Free of licensing restrictions imposed by most commercial products. Open Source software users are freed of the vast majority of licensing restrictions one would expect of commercial counterparts. Although some discrepancies do exist among license variants, users are largely free to modify, redistribute, and integrate the software into other products.
- Open development and auditing process. Although there have been some incidents, open-source software has long enjoyed a stellar security record. Such high standards are a result of the open development and auditing process. Because the source code is freely available for examination by anyone who wants to, security holes and potential problems are rapidly found and fixed. This advantage was perhaps best summarized by open-source advocate Eric S. Raymond, who wrote, "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow."
- Everyone is free to participate. Development teams are not limited to a particular organization. Anyone who has the interest and the ability is free to join the project. The absence of member restrictions greatly enhances the talent pool for a given project, ultimately contributing to a higher quality product.
This chapter has provided a bit of foreshadowing about this wonderful language to which much of this book is devoted. We looked first at PHP's history, before outlining version 4 and 5's core features, setting the stage for later chapters.
In Chapter 2, prepare to get your hands dirty, as you'll delve into the PHP installation and configuration process. Although readers often liken most such chapters to scratching nails on a chalkboard, you can gain much from learning more about this process. Much like a professional cyclist or race car driver, the programmer with hands-on knowledge of the tweaking and maintenance process often holds an advantage over those without, by virtue of a better understanding of the software's configurable behaviors and quirks. So grab a snack and snuggle up to your workstation; it's time to build.

New England Man Wins Wing Bowl By Feasting On 287 Wings
Eating 24 dozen chicken wings before lunch seems impossible; watching someone else do it is remarkable. James 'The Bear' McDonald of Granby, Conn. won Wing Bowl 21, the annual Philadelphia-based chicken wing-eating contest, by chomping down 287 chicken wings in the Wells Fargo Center on Friday morning.
McDonald knocked out three-time former champ Jonathan 'Super' Squib, who ate 282 wings, in the finals. A newcomer to the competition, McDonald claimed the crown and $20,000 in prize money in front of a sold-out crowd of an estimated 20,000 people. More than two dozen eaters competed for the title.
McDonald's total wing consumption was the second-highest in the history of the competition. Japanese eating machine Takeru Kobayashi downed a record 337 wings in 2012. He elected not to participate this year.
While the focus of Wing Bowl is on the competitive eating — and occasional, projectile food reversal — the event is a spectacle of drunken sports fanatics, half-dressed babes and audacious competitors, many of whom enter the arena on elaborate floats. The combination is difficult to resist for Philadelphia sports personalities: new Eagles' head coach Chip Kelly was in attendance, as was Flyers' Hall of Fame goalie Bernie Parent. Eagles long snapper Jon Dorenbos served as commissioner of the event, which is the creation of Philly sports talk radio station 94.1 WIP-FM.
Fans, many of whom begin pre-gaming for the 6 a.m. event in the dark, roared their approval when a contestant from Dallas wearing a Cowboys No. 9 Tony Romo jersey puked, therefore eliminating himself from the competition. The crowd also cheered whenever any females in attendance flashed their boobs, a longtime sideshow of the event.
At a price of $9.95 per prepared dozen in some restaurants, McDonald's intake of chicken wings would have cost him $238.80. Instead, he walked away with $20,000.

South Dakota's East River Named Wind Cooperative of the Year
SIOUX FALLS - East River Electric Power Cooperative has been recognized as "Wind Cooperative of the Year."
The award was presented during a recent conference in New Orleans sponsored by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.
A panel of wind industry, utility, government, national laboratory and cooperative experts selected East River from a group of 15 nominees nationwide.
East River is a wholesale electric power supply cooperative serving eastern South Dakota and western Minnesota. In 2009, the co-op created South Dakota Wind Partners, a model for community-based, locally owned wind development that relied on residents rather than large equity investors.
General Manager Jeff Nelson says the co-op and its members are committed to increasing local value.

VANCOUVER — Normally a player who kicked the Vancouver Canucks' butt for years on end would not be a welcome sight in the city. Even Joe Sakic wondered why the Western Hockey League's Giants wanted to throw a night for him given his torment of the Canucks.
But Burnaby Joe is no ordinary Joe and chances are excellent he'll hear only heartfelt applause Friday on "Joe Sakic Hall of Fame Night" at the Pacific Coliseum.
"Well, you know what?" said Burnaby Joe over the phone from Denver. "When Ron Toigo called me, that did get brought up. He was, like, 'Yeah, I know you didn't play here but you're a local boy,' and that was the big thing. So I'm excited to have a chance to get back to Vancouver. It's going to be a great night."
Born and raised in Burnaby, Sakic played junior for the Swift Current Broncos, was drafted in the first round by the Quebec Nordiques in 1987 and broke into the NHL a year later. He didn't really morph into a Canuck killer until the Nordique franchise relocated to Colorado, became the Avalanche, captured eight consecutive division titles and beat the Canucks twice in the playoffs en route to their two Stanley Cups.
"The fans in Vancouver, I know they didn't like the Avalanche but they always treated me well," chuckled Sakic, now 43. "Vancouver was my favourite place to play on the road. I remember getting my 500th goal in Vancouver and getting a standing ovation from the fans at GM Place. That was a pretty special moment and my whole family was there for it, too."
Sakic is arguably the greatest player to come from British Columbia. In addition to his two Cups, he's won numerous trophies including a Hart, a Conn Smythe, a Lady Byng and a Pearson (now known as the Ted Lindsay Award). He finished his 21-year NHL career with 625 goals, 1,016 assists and 1,641 points. He collected another 188 points in 172 playoff games. He won Olympic gold in Salt Lake City with Team Canada and was named tournament MVP.
Last November, Sakic was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, which prompted the Giants to invite him to town for Friday's little celebration. Asked for his fondest memories, he had a few.
"Obviously I think it's winning the two Cups and the Olympic gold in Salt Lake," he replied. "That gold-medal game was the best game I've ever been a part of. If I had to pick one single game in my career, and only one, that would be it, for sure, what with the 50-year drought and everything else.
"Just being in the Olympic Games, the biggest event in the world, was special and then winning the gold medal."
Sakic is also finding retirement special in that it allows him to be a full-time dad for son Mitch, 16, and 12-year-old fraternal twins Chase and Kamryn. The boys play hockey and daughter Kamryn is involved in gymnastics. Professionally, he is a non-travelling adviser in the Avalanche hockey department and works closely with general manager Greg Sherman. He has no interest, at this time, in becoming a GM himself.
"Honestly, right now, I'm really enjoying what I'm doing, especially with the kids at their age," he explained. "It's been good being able to go to the rinks and to my daughter's gymnastics and their school activities. So that's been keeping me busy. I don't think I'd want to be on call every day 24/7 as a GM. It's a commitment that I'm not ready for. I'm enjoying what I'm doing and I can't see myself travelling and doing all of that."
Burnaby Joe won't mind getting on a plane Friday for his big night as the Giants meet the Kelowna Rockets. The festivities are scheduled to begin at 7:30.

Firefighters had to corral four unattended pit bulls in an apartment at 6 Shawmut St. while fighting a fire in the back of the first-floor apartment this afternoon.
As firefighters headed into the three-story home about 3:10 p.m. they were met by the unleashed dogs in the first-floor apartment. At first the dogs' presence hampered the firefighters' ability to search the building for people, District Fire Chief Samuel Richesson said.
"It did make for some nervous moments," the district chief said. "They were able to get the dogs contained into some side rooms."
The fire was contained to the rear first-floor apartment of the building. It was extinguished in about 10 minutes. The second and third floors were vacant.
District Chief Richesson said it appeared someone may have been living on the first floor, but no one was found in the apartment.
"It looked like the dogs had not been attended to for quite a period of time," the district chief said. Firefighters had to maneuver around a dog-feces-covered floor.
An animal control officer was called to take custody of the dogs. They did not appear to be injured. Heath officials were also called to the home.
Fire investigators were working to determine the cause and origin of the fire.

Spido's beautifully crafted tour boats have become a fixture on the Maas River in Rotterdam. Water plays an essential role in the history of this unique port city and every year, hundreds of thousands of visitors take a cruise of the Rotterdam harbours. Board a Spido tour boat at one of the docks next to the Erasmus Bridge and explore Rotterdam from the water.
Spido started as a modest ferry service in 1919. Today, the company has a fleet of 5 modern canal boats that tour the port of Rotterdam and beyond. From Willemsplein under the Erasmus Bridge, boats depart for trips through the city's international harbour. These tours are either 75 minutes or 2.5 hours long. You may also book one of the frequent theme tours: enjoy a lazy Sunday brunch, live jazz music, high tea, dinner or a film screening while cruising through the port of Rotterdam.
Spido's most popular tour is a 75-minute cruise of Europe's largest port. This cruise sails along the Nieuwe Maas via the historic Veer and Leuve harbours on the city centre side and then across to the Rijn, Maas and Waal harbours. In addition to huge ocean-going vessels and bustling transhipment terminals, the tour also includes famous Rotterdam icons such as the bridges across the Maas, the Kop van Zuid and the Euromast. The longer tour takes 2.5 hours and also sails along Pernis and the oil ports to the Botlek.

The Dutch coastline looks very different since the opening of the second Maasvlakte in 2013. The figures are impressive: it took 7 million tons of stone and 20,000 concrete blocks to build this several kilometre-long sea wall. Around 240 million cubic metres of sand was sprayed – this is enough to fill Rotterdam's stadium De Kuip to the brim 160 times. From the Erasmus Bridge, Spido sails via the Nieuwe Waterweg to this newest part of the Netherlands. Along the way you can disembark and visit the interactive information centre FutureLand.

Willemstad is a small picturesque fortress town. The trip there is already a pleasure: departing from downtown Rotterdam, Spido sails across the Nieuwe Maas via the Botlek to the Oude Maas and then across the Haringvliet, while you sit back and enjoy a sumptuous lunch served onboard. Upon arrival in Willemstad you disembark for a guided walking tour through the historic inner harbour; visit the monumental city centre and the well preserved fortress walls. Then the boat returns to Rotterdam via Hollands Diep, the Dordtsche Kil and the Oude Maas.

Infant death is one of the most devastating experiences any parent could face. Although nothing can take away the pain or fill the baby's place in your heart, it can help to acknowledge your grief and share feelings with others who've had similar losses.No one wants to talk about my baby's death. How can I feel secure acknowledging my loss?
It's important to find social support for your grief. Acknowledging your baby's death — as well as your lost hopes and dreams for the baby's future — is an important part of the grieving process. It's often comforting and therapeutic to connect with other parents who've experienced infant death. This can be done through support groups or websites devoted to grieving the loss of a baby.
Consider professional counseling at any point, especially if you don't feel supported in your grief or you don't notice any improvement within six months.How can I help my friends and loved ones understand what I'm feeling?
Grieving is physically and emotionally exhausting. Friends and loved ones might not understand the intensity of your grief or your need for unconditional support. Focus on spending time with friends or loved ones who offer the type of understanding and encouragement you need.
To help others understand what you're experiencing, you might want to share material on infant death from your doctor, support group or helpful websites. Avoid being drawn into arguments, however. If you're facing someone who doesn't support your grief, you might explain that the situation is too difficult to discuss with him or her.
If you ended a much-wanted pregnancy, carried a pregnancy to term knowing the baby wouldn't survive or discontinued life support for your critically ill baby, you might carry an even heavier emotional burden. If others pass judgment on your decision, you might feel isolated and even more desolate. Support from an understanding grief group or professional counselor can be invaluable.I feel like I'm on an emotional roller coaster. Is this normal?
An infant death is traumatic. You might be plagued with anger or guilt — or perhaps you're tormented by questions that simply can't be answered. All of these emotions are normal. How you handle your emotions is up to you. Remember, everyone copes with grief in different ways.
Some parents find solace in creating a memorial for their baby. You might hold a funeral or memorial service, assemble treasured photos of your baby, create plaster molds of your baby's handprints or footprints, or store a baby blanket or favorite toy.
As you come to terms with your feelings, maintain your physical health. Eat a healthy diet, include physical activity in your daily routine, and spend time with supportive friends and loved ones.When my baby died, so did my plans for the future. How can I go on?
You might find it difficult to invest hope and excitement in any part of your life after your baby's death — but learning to continue living is part of the grieving process.
For help making the adjustment, seek support from other parents who've been able to find solace in living. When you're ready, participating in family activities and special occasions can remind you that you're loved and supported.My partner and I don't seem to be grieving in the same way. How can we find strength in each other?
Grieving can take a heavy toll on marriages and other intimate relationships. Accepting your partner's response to grief can be one of the most challenging aspects of grieving as a couple. It can be tough to accept your partner's coping mechanisms if they don't fit your concept of grieving.
For example, perhaps you feel closer to your baby by talking about him or her every day — but your partner copes by looking toward the future. If you don't recognize these differences, you might wonder whether your partner supports you or even cares about your baby's death. Still, the differences don't need to pull you apart. To strengthen your relationship, work toward compromises.
You might agree to limited discussion times, encouraging the more talkative partner to supplement the need for conversation with understanding friends or support groups. To respect the other partner's need to look ahead, schedule a social event once a week during which you agree to focus on the pleasurable aspects of your life together.How does the grief of infant death ever reach resolution?
As time goes on, your grief will begin to fade. Eventually you'll find it easier to engage in other aspects of life. The first anniversary of your baby's death and other poignant reminders will be difficult, but these kind of reminders will get easier with time.
If you feel stuck in your grief — especially if you're isolating yourself or having trouble handling your usual daily activities — seek the help of a support group, grief counselor or other mental health provider.
Sadness surrounding your baby's death might be permanent. With time, however, your heart-wrenching grief is likely to move toward a new normal of loving remembrance.

Also, make sure your spine is in alignment, especially the cervical, or
upper 7, vertebrae. Check with your local osteopath, naturopath or chiropractor.
Some folks find relief from the use of therapeutic ultrasound to the neck
area. Others use a micro-current device called TENS ("transcutaneous
electrical nerve stimulator") which applies a tiny frequency to the
affected nerves, causing conduction to be blocked and pain to be relieved.
TENS units are also believed to stimulate the production of endorphins,
the body's own natural painkillers. This unit is widely used in doctors'
offices, but can easily be used at home. Your doctor may be able to rent
or lend you a TENS unit, or help to to purchase one.
Can Herbal Medicine Provide Relief From Migraines?
Plant medicine has been used for as long as man has begun to fashion tools
from his natural surroundings. Many plants have particular biochemical
properties, usually alkaloids (so called because they render the system
less acid, and more alkaline), which can contol pain, as well as many other
therapeutic effects. Medicinal plants which have analgesic (pain-killing)
action can be toxic, sometimes at what would seem a small dose. Please
consult with a qualified herbalist, naturopath or botanically trained pharmacist
before experimenting with the following plant drugs:

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 24 (UPI) -- Acetaminophen, a commonly used drug for pain and fever during pregnancy, may be linked to attention-deficit hyperactivity-like behavior, U.S. researchers say.
Study author Zeyan Liew of the University of California, Los Angeles, and colleagues studied 64,322 children and mothers in the Danish National Birth Cohort from 1996 to 2002.
Parents reported behavioral problems on a questionnaire, and ADHD medication prescriptions and those for hyperkinetic disorders -- a severe form of ADHD -- were collected from Danish registries.
More than half of the mothers reported using acetaminophen while pregnant. The use of acetaminophen during pregnancy appeared to be associated with a higher risk of HKD diagnosis, of using ADHD medications or of having ADHD-like behaviors at age 7.
The risk increased when mothers used acetaminophen in more than one trimester during pregnancy, Liew said.
"Maternal acetaminophen use during pregnancy is associated with a higher risk for HKDs and ADHD-like behaviors in children," Liew and colleagues wrote in the study. "Because the exposure and outcomes are frequent, these results are of public health relevance but further investigations are needed."
The findings were published in the journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics.

European Commission - Press release
Commission to recover € 54.3 million of CAP expenditure from the Member States
Brussels, 16 February 2012 – A total of €115.2 million of EU agricultural policy funds unduly spent by Member States is being claimed back by the European Commission today under the so-called clearance of accounts procedure. As some of these amounts have already been recovered from the Member States, the financial impact is somewhat lower at €54.3 million. This money returns to the EU budget because of non-compliance with EU rules or inadequate control procedures on agricultural expenditure. Member States are responsible for paying out and checking expenditure under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), and the Commission is required to ensure that Member States have made correct use of the funds.
Main financial corrections
Under this latest decision, funds will be recovered from Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The most significant individual corrections are:
Member States are responsible for managing most CAP payments, mainly via their paying agencies. They are also in charge of controls, for example verifying the farmer's claims for direct payments. The Commission carries out over 100 audits every year, verifying that Member State controls and responses to shortcomings are sufficient, and has the power to claw back funds in arrears if the audits show that Member State responses are not good enough to guarantee that EU funds have been spent properly.
For details on how the clearance of annual accounts system works, see MEMO/12/109 and the factsheet "Managing the agriculture budget wisely", available on the internet at:
Details of the individual corrections, by Member State and by sector, are given in the tables attached (annexes I and II).
Annex I : Clearance of accounts of EAGF and EAFRD
Decision 37: Corrections by Member state (In Million €)
Annex II : Clearance of accounts of EAGF and EAFRD
Decision 37: Corrections by Sector (In Million €)
The financial impact is lower due to amounts already withheld;
Financial impact of the correction is taking into account the previous overlapping corrections and amounts already recovered by the European Commission

HIV/STD transmission from Used Adult Magazine?
Nov 14, 2009
Hello Dr. Bob, I have a concerning question and I'm a bit worried. I've read several information on here and I am very knowledgeable about Hiv and Std's but I need to ask this question. I bought a used Adult Magazine online because it was an issue that came out about 10 years ago and really liked it. Obviously, when I received it I looked at it and well, I masturbated while viewing and flipping through the magazine. Although the magazine was used, it seemed in good condition with no "stains" on it and I was wondering if its possible at all to get an Std or even HIV from a Used Adult Magazine? If the original owner had also masturbated and stained and touched the magazine, is there any way that the pathogens of certain Std's could survive inside and thus infect me when I touch them and then touch myself? I think I'm just freaking out at the idea that someone else used this magazine for pleasurable reasons. Please answer me back Dr. Bob, I've asked you several questions in the past but never received any answer. Thank You.
Response from Dr. Frascino
You state you are "very knowledgeable about HIV and STDs," but then you ask if you could contract HIV or another STD from a used porno magazine that is a decade old! Dude, is there any wonder I've tended to skip over your questions in the past?
To answer your question is no risk, even if the pages of the antique porno magazine you purchased were glued together with 10 years of spunk from having been the only copy of "Chitty Chitty Gang Bang" in the men's maximum security prison before you acquired it on eBay!
Dr. Bob
