Bolts Q&A with Mark Recchi
TBL.com: You've won two Stanley Cups and are a seven-time All-Star, what do you hope to bring to the Lightning this season?
Mark Recchi (MR): Well, I'd like to obviously bring some leadership and really anything they want me to do. Whether it's penalty killing, playing physical, playing the power play, whatever. I'll do whatever they need at this point in my career. I'm just excited about the opportunity to come down here and be a piece of this puzzle.
TBL.com: As you skate into your 20th NHL season, how do you feel your game has changed as you've moved along in your career?
MR: Obviously I'm not the player I was five, six, seven years ago. I understand that, but I still know and still understand the importance of what a role is in a hockey club, and understand what it takes. I can still skate with everybody which, in the game now, is important. I can keep up and I can still make plays and score some goals. I can do a little bit of everything, which I think is important, and I think that the bottom line is that Vincent is the guy on this team, and we're coming in to help him and him with the process of being a leader and help him any way we can.
TBL.com: You've played with a lot of star players during your career, including Mario Lemieux. How do you feel playing with Vinny Lecavalier might compare to playing with some of the Hall of Fame players you've been on teams with?
MR: Well, I've watched him, and of course I've played against him a lot, and he's a hard player to play against. He's a dynamic player offensively, a great two-way center. From what I understand, because I don't know him personally, he's an unbelievable guy. When you have that in a superstar, it makes it so much easier. The team runs a lot smoother when your superstar is a great person, and I'm looking forward to the getting the opportunity to play beside him, and watch him and help him out.
TBL.com: What made you want to come to Tampa?
MR: I just like what they (the Lightning) were doing. Obviously everybody in the hockey world was watching what they were doing, and when I got the call that they wanted me to be a piece of it, I got really excited. Obviously, the character guys they brought down here was important to me. They want to be good, they're doing the right things here with the organization, and they're trying to make it tough.
TBL.com: Have you ever seen anything like this in your career, or been a part of something like this, where there's just so much change?
MR: No, and it's amazing. They have an identity of a team they want and they went out and got it. Give the ownership, management and coaching staff a lot of credit. They identified the type of team they want to be and they went out and got it. And now it's up to the players to go do their thing.
TBL.com: What are you most looking forward to about playing in Tampa?
MR: I'm looking forward to just having fun, and being a part of something good. It's something I'm really looking forward to. We're all pieces of a little puzzle, and we want to be successful and we want to do whatever it takes to help things along.
TBL.com: You were born in Kamloops, British Columbia and played major junior hockey with the Kamloops Blazers, now you're part owner of that team, when did that happen?
MR: It happened last year at this time. We ended up finally getting it in October, but it happened right about this time that we ended up getting it.
TBL.com: That must be really special to be actively involved with a team you have such a history with.
MR: Yeah, it's amazing! I have four great partners, three of them are ex players, and the business partner we have is awesome. We've had a lot of fun with it, it's been a lot of work, but we've finally got a general manager and a coach, so now we can be owners!
TBL.com: I hear you even have a street named after you in Kamploops called Mark Recchi Way?
MR: Yeah, it's my hometown, and it's right where the arena is. My grandfather actually lived on that street, and we still have a house there – my brother lives there now.
TBL.com: You've worn the No. 8 your entire career, and even had it retired by the Blazers – how did that number come up and what has made you stick with that number your whole career?
MR: I was just young, and I always wanted an 8 in it for some reason. I always did. It just happened that I was 28 in the minors, because a veteran had 8. I was 18 in Carolina, because Matt Cullen had 8. There was only one time, in Philadelphia, where I had to be 11. I was 11 when I got traded there, for a couple of months, but the player ended up getting traded in the summer so I got my number back. It worked out well!
TBL.com: In January, 2007, you scored your 500th goal – what would you say has been your favorite accomplishment in your career?
MR: Well, the two Stanley Cups are my greatest accomplishments. They were both amazing to me. But 500 goals, 1,000 points - obviously those are great things. The amount of games I've played I think it's big. Knock on wood; I haven't missed many games in my career, so I've played a lot of games.
TBL.com: It's my understanding that you might be close to having the record for longest time between winning two Cups…
MR: (laughs) No, no – (Chris) Chelios! He's number one, I think.
TBL.com: (laughs) Well, with 15 years between Cups, how were those two teams different for you?
MR: Well, they were definitely two different teams. Pittsburgh, I grew up with them, I grew up with the guys, and all of a sudden we were successful and going through a playoff run. But obviously when you have Mario Lemieux, and Ron Francis, Kevin Stevens, and Bryan Trottier – that was pretty dynamic. I went to Carolina and I was a veteran. I was able to enjoy the second one… well, I should say appreciate, I shouldn't say enjoy it because I enjoyed both of them! I appreciated it a little bit more, my second one. Being brought in to be a piece of the puzzle late in the season and fitting in, having a great time down there with the guys, and being able to win it; that was pretty awesome.
TBL.com: What is your favorite hobby outside of hockey?
MR: I don't really know. I like to read, but there are tons of other hobbies with sports. I probably could say I play golf, but I don't play golf much anymore because of my kids. I still like to play tennis, just things like that.
TBL.com: Do you have any game-day routines, or even superstitions?
MR: Not a lot. Timing is probably the biggest thing for me, because I like to do things at certain times. Maybe two or three things, like when I tie my skates before we go out, just little things like that. I wouldn't have survived to play if I had that many quirks in 20 years!
TBL.com: What have some of your nicknames been during your career? I know one is "Recchin' ball," from your style of play.
MR: Yeah, that was started in Pittsburgh. My teammates have called me "Sherman," they've called me "Knuckles," they've called me "Rex." I've got a lot.
TBL.com: Thank you so much for your time, and it's been a pleasure talking to you. Welcome to Tampa!

RSV is a major cause of lower respiratory infections in young children and the elderly. In the United States, nearly all children become infected with RSV by age 2, with 75,000 to 125,000 of them hospitalized each year. Globally, RSV affects an estimated 64 million people and causes 160,000 deaths each year.
Like influenza (flu) and some forms of the common cold, RSV is a respiratory virus that can cause lung infections. It's often a routine childhood illness that runs its course without requiring a doctor's attention, but it's also the most common cause of bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small airways in the lung) and pneumonia in children less than 1 year of age.
RSV exists all over the world, but it's active at different times of the year depending on geographical climate. Temperate regions, including most of the United States, experience RSV season during the late fall, winter, and early spring months. Tropical regions see peaks in RSV infections during the rainy season.
RSV is very contagious. It is transmitted through direct contact with nasal droplets from a person who is infected. RSV also can stay on environmental surfaces, such as doorknobs, toys, and hands, for several hours. This means it can easily be spread in school classrooms and daycare centers and brought home to other children who live there. The time between when a person is infected and when they have symptoms is about four to six days.
Because RSV does not give protection from future infections, people can get RSV many times—even during a single season. The first infection is usually the most severe. After that, any infections generally have milder symptoms.
Most children have had RSV by the time they are 2 years old, but many parents might not even realize it. That's because RSV symptoms are very much like the symptoms of a mild-to-severe cold: runny nose, cough, mild fever, and sore throat. Infants with RSV also might have less appetite than usual and be tired or fussy. Sometimes, because congestion is heavy, infants can't feed very well, and they may become dehydrated (have a lower than normal amount of fluids in the body). Most people will have symptoms about four to six days after being exposed to the virus.
However, RSV can be particularly dangerous in premature infants and in children with congenital heart disease or chronic lung disease, because the infection can develop into life-threatening pneumonia. It can also be dangerous for the elderly and people with compromised immune systems.
Most people with RSV cold-like symptoms do not necessarily need to visit a healthcare provider. But if you or your child have any of the following symptoms, you should call your healthcare provider immediately:
Most people with RSV will simply have a runny nose and a cough and don't need to visit a healthcare provider. The virus generally runs its course with the help of home treatments. In fact, in healthy children, it's often not necessary to find out whether they have RSV or the common cold because the treatment is the same.
But in certain cases—premature infants, children with heart and lung problems, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems—to treat RSV properly, a healthcare provider may need to diagnose the illness. Generally, a healthcare provider can use a nasal swab or nasal wash to diagnose RSV. Sometimes, they use a chest X-ray or oxygen saturation test to check for lung congestion.
To treat RSV is to treat its symptoms. Drinking electrolyte-replacing fluids—not sugary sodas or sports drinks—regularly will prevent dehydration (abnormal loss of body fluids). Acetaminophen (Tylenol, for example) will help to reduce fever and relieve headache. Note that children with viral illnesses such as RSV should never take aspirin. In these cases, aspirin can lead to the potentially fatal Reye's syndrome.
You should encourage children in your care to blow their noses, and you can use a bulb syringe in infants to suction nasal passages clear of mucus. Plenty of rest will help keep children comfortable until they get beter. Good handwashing can prevent spread the virus.
In more severe cases, people with RSV might need treatment to help them breathe. Some healthcare providers may prescribe a medicine called a bronchodilator to help open airways (tubes that move air from the mouth and nose into the lungs).
Researchers have been working toward an RSV vaccine since the 1950s, but no vaccine is yet licensed for use. The best way to prevent RSV is good hygiene and infection-control practices, such as washing your hands frequently with soap and water and avoiding sharing food, cups, or utensils with infected people. Using hand disinfectants will also kill the virus.
Healthcare providers may give infants at high risk for serious RSV infection or complications Synagis (palivizumab). Healthcare providers give such infants Synagis in monthly injections during the entire RSV season, because each injection gives protection for only 30 days.
NIAID conducts and supports basic research on RSV to improve our understanding of the virus and how it causes disease, as well as factors in animals and humans that affect susceptibility to RSV infection. Scientists in NIAID labs and in universities and medical research centers across the United States work together to translate this knowledge into new, safe, and effective ways to treat and prevent RSV.
For more than 50 years, NIAID's commitment to RSV research has been unparalleled. NIAID researchers were the first to identify and characterize RSV and have provided fundamental knowledge that improves our understanding, treatment, and prevention of RSV disease.
NIAID basic research has led to the only preventive treatment currently available for RSV and given us new techniques to manipulate the virus that have brought us closer to a safe and effective vaccine.
NIAID funds several research activities to evaluate potential new therapies for RSV. For example, one study supported in part by NIAID unveiled a possible role of the anti-influenza drug oseltamivir in treating RSV infection. The study, published in the March 2007 issue of the Journal of Immunology, found that the drug decreased RSV-induced weight loss and inhibited RSV clearance in mice, suggesting that it may be effective in moderating RSV symptoms in humans.
Scientists in the Laboratory of Allergic Diseases have developed a mouse model of a disease similar to human RSV, called pneumonia virus of mice (PVM). Studying PVM, researchers have discovered that inflammation is an important part of severe RSV disease, which suggests that using antivirals together with anti-inflammatory therapies to treat severe RSV may ease discomfort and help patients recover more quickly.
Scientists in the Laboratory of Infectious Diseases (LID) were instrumental in developing palivizumab (brand name Synagis), which is currently the only preventive medicine available for RSV. LID researchers are currently working with industry on the development of candidate nasal-spray RSV vaccines. A nasal spray not only provides direct stimulation of local immunity in the nose, sinuses, throat, and lungs, it also promises to make administering the vaccine easier and less painful than using a needle.
Additionally, NIAID supports research to develop a vaccine that would help provide protection from RSV and human parainfluenza virus types 1 and 3, which also are major causes of respiratory disease in infants and young children. Researchers plan to evaluate several versions of this vaccine for immunogenicity (the ability to provoke an immune response) and advance the most promising candidates into studies of safety and effectiveness in non-human primates.

Would be great to have ORM support for VoltDB DBMS.
They've released a native Python driver and it's a very promising DB which is a mix between NoSQL & relational SQL. The database retains the data in RAM and distributes both the data and the SQL engine which processes it, across the server or server cluster's processor cores. VoltDB is designed to ensure transactional consistency while eliminating legacy overhead.
In short it's designed for the Web and takes care of sharding while still using SQL as a query language.

You should probably see this django-dev thread (which was about some other DBMS, but I think it applies). In short, Django encourages you to create 3rd party database backends and doesn't plan to include any more backends in the core at the moment.

is there somewhere a wiki regrouping thoses 3rd party database backend arbitrarily excluded ?
in order to know if someone have provided a solution.
nosql have a branch because it's a completly different concept...
but haven't found anything related to django+voltdb.
comment:4 follow-up: ↓ 5 Changed 4 years ago by russellm
The exclusion wasn't "arbitrary" at all. Django has a database backend API for a reason -- so that we don't need to be the maintainers for a thousand database backends. We officially support the 3 most popular open source databases, and one very high profile closed source database.
NoSQL has a branch because it was a Google Summer of Code project, and it would have required significant architectural changes internally to make a NoSQL backend possible. However, it's important to note that that branch *didn't* proposed to add any new database backends. It was primarily a series of internal changes that would make a third-party NoSQL backends possible.
As for a list of external DB APIs -- the only list I can point you at is in the docs. We don't really have a firm set of guidelines for what gets on this list; a rule of thumb would be "a backend that someone is willing to state actually works in anger".

Replying to russellm:

Works in anger?
comment:6 Changed 4 years ago by Alex
It's a play on "fire in anger" (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fire_in_anger), basically meaning "really works under real circumstances"

Ah, thanks. Never encountered that idiom before...

Louisiana Offshore Oil Port May Have Taken a Direct Hit
The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port may have been hit hard by Hurricane Gustav, says Jim Rouiller, senior energy meteorologist at private forecaster Planalytics.
Severe damage to LOOP, which handles 10% of oil imports and is the only U.S. facility capable of offloading the largest tankers, would disrupt world oil shipping lanes. Such a disruption would force producers and refiners to scramble to find new ways to import oil from sources as diverse as Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. "Grand Isle and the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port/Loop terminal have probably taken a direct hit," said Rouiller in an email update. "I think Gustav has probably hit several major deepwater oil and gas production platforms over the last 12 hours."
It's too soon to gauge any damage to the LOOP. The facility might send a crew in later Monday to try to get a sense of the situation.
Assessing long-term damage from Gustav will of course be first order of business for the energy industry and traders alike. "In addition, refineries that line the coast of Louisiana from Gulf Port Mississippi to the Sabine river pass are going to be down a awhile due to flooding and wind damage," said Rouiller. – Grainne McCarthy

"Revolution" Ends, "TMNT/Batman:TAS" Begins in IDW's November 2016 Solicitations
Comic Books
Okay so the first day of school wasn't soooo bad…however, I'm still suffering a rather bad case of the "anywhere but here"s. How about you all?
Today's question — what manga school setting would you like to attend?
I think I would enjoy attending Ouran High School since I have short brown hair, wear glasses, and was once called "sir" by a customer at my comic book shop (yeah, don't ask, I was even wearing a skirt that day), I could be Haruhi and stumble across my own harem of cute boys! This certainly is more appealing than joining the art school gang at Honey & Clover because eventually H&C will get you with some kind of nostalgia-oriented melancholy or something…and who feels nostalgic while they are actually slogging through school? Bah, on you Honey & Clover. Just be happy, you crazy young people!
So join in on the fun — which school would you want (or wouldn't want) to attend?
Maybe Cromartie high can kick me into shape. Guys would fear me since I'm the most unassuming guy around…and unassuming guys = badasses in their book.
I wouldn't want to be in the school with Yukino and Suichiro in Kare Kano…lot's of freaky stuff happen there that my mind might explode from everything that's happening!
The school in azumanga daoih i think would be fun, but as a male I would relegated to the super background. School rumble school would be interesting unless you wanted to accomplish something or were in love with someone, because then it would be the most frustrating place to be ever.
Eitoku Academy, 'cos then Tsukushi could be my awesome buddy and I could squee about the F4 (discreetly in her presence, of course).
hey jun, I don't know about that — you'd either be a rich bitch or completely abused by groups like the F4…either way, that school environment doesn't seem particularly attractive….
Grico — ha! that's right, men only exist as background voices most of the time in the animated version of Azumanga Daioh!
Hi George, I don't know the school seems pretty tame, it is really just a few students who are crazy in Kare Kano (i.e. the main characters).
Oh, I'd totally be another pauper, but the F4 would have to tolerate me because Tsukushi would beat them up otherwise.
the genshiken school. ohno and i could not admit to playing yaoi games together.
The Academy in Negima. It's filled with magic and cute girls. I don't see a downside to having an abundance of either one…
that's right, Andrew, do male students even go to that university? Sheesh….you lucky, bastard!
Yeah, I guess it's pretty tame. But maybe I feel that way coz I want to be in the spotlight too, hence guilty by association to the main cast.
Oh, and a hearty second for the Mahora Academy in Negima. Totally forgot about that one. Although that's an all-girls school right? Not that I'm partial to short skirts or anything…
Probably the school in Fruits Basket because – amazingly – they all seem to like each other! Looking back on years of hormonal feuding, rage-fuelled chair throwing, and violently high-stakes tractor-drawing competitions, I'd be fine with the relative facelessness in exchange for avoiding all that.
I was going to say, "Gokusen's might be fun!", but giving it a bit more consideration I'd probably end the first day beaten to a pulp by either the students or visiting yakuza. Er, and male.
rage-fuelled chair throwingActually, I think Hatsuharu might've provided some of this at one point.
I know what school I *wouldn't* go to: the high school that Suzumiya Haruhi goes to.
Liz….hmmmmmmm….I wonder. Nothing really bad happens ….just the possibility one could be thrown into nothingness if Haruhi gets annoyed one day. But you wouldn't even know about it!

Community Benefits and Wellbeing
TDA works to reward its community members for supporting conservation by providing scholarships, job opportunities, sustainable livelihoods opportunities and other benefits.
Community members benefit financially from the conservation program, through employment opportunities as rangers, marine monitors, guides, hospitality workers and casual builders and labourers. TDA members also benefit from incentive programs, such as the leatherback conservation incentive program on neighbouring Rendova Island. This program rewards members of local communities for finding, recording and protecting leatherback turtle nests on their local beaches.
But the benefits of the conservation program for local communities go beyond direct monetary rewards. Descendants benefit from having access to a healthy marine ecosystem on Tetepare – this is particularly important for local communities who depend on artisanal fishing resources.
All over the world, fisheries are collapsing. But in the waters around Tetepare, healthy fish populations still exist, thanks in part to the ranger-enforced MPA. While Tetepare's MPA is a permanent no-take zone and cannot be fished, the area acts as a nursery and refuge for fish, and ultimately helps to boost fish numbers outside the protected area. Our regular marine monitoring has shown Tetepare's reefs and fish numbers are healthy, both inside and outside the MPA.
Descendants come to the island regularly to harvest resources. They fish, dive for trochus and crayfish and hunt pigs. The island, with its abundant resources, is seen as a larder for feasts, where people can access good stocks of resources, thanks to the sustainable management practices of TDA.
We hold regular awareness meetings in our member communities to explain the Tetepare project activities, as well as to educate and empower members to sustainably manage the natural resources in their own local areas and conserve their environments. Our staff members are also encouraged to teach their own communities more about conservation.
We hope to lead by example – to show people how conservation can be a benefit rather than a burden.

Raj Redux? Ex-Goldman Director Wants To Block Wiretaps At Trial
When former hedge-fund titan Raj Rajaratnam was charged with insider trading in 2009, federal prosecutors crowed about the new tool they used to bring the case: secretly recorded wiretaps.
On Tuesday, former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. director Rajat Gupta (pictured) says prosecutors never should have been allowed to use the secretly recorded conversations in the first place, arguing federal law doesn't allow their use in an insider-trading probe.
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have alleged that Gupta secretly tipped Rajaratnam, the founder of Galleon Group, with inside information when he was board member at Goldman and Procter & Gamble.
In court papers filed late Tuesday, Gupta's lawyers asked a federal judge to bar prosecutors from playing wiretapped conversations of Rajaratnam at Gupta's insider-trading trial later this year.
"It appears that the government intends to offer a circumstantial case, premised on the timing of alleged telephone calls between the two men and trades that Rajaratnam caused the hedge funds he managed to execute," said Gary Naftalis, Mr. Gupta's lawyer, in court papers.
"It further appears that the government will attempt to prop up its case with recordings it obtained by wiretapping Rajaratnam's cellular telephone."
Gupta's lawyers said that federal law doesn't allow wiretaps to be used "in investigations of suspected insider trading" and the wiretaps never should have been allowed in Rajaratnam's trial last year because they were improperly obtained.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan declined comment Wednesday.
Lawyers for Rajaratnam, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison in October, have said they plan to appeal his conviction on conspiracy and securities fraud and will likely argue that a judge erred in allowing the wiretaps into evidence at his trial.

A Prayer for Owen Meany
by John Irving
Analysis: Trivia
Brain Snacks: Tasty Tidbits of Knowledge
John Irving asked the screenwriter who adapted A Prayer for Owen Meany for film to change the title and the characters' names, because he felt the movie strayed too much from the original text and might mislead viewers. The movie is called Simon Birch (source).
John Irving kicks it old school when it comes to his writing – he hand writes all of his novels rather than typing them out (source).
Phil Jackson, coach of the LA Lakers, has given copies of A Prayer for Owen Meany to his entire team (we wonder if it was the whole "practicing the shot" bit?) (source).

One of the most important offices in controlling global privacy is located in a small building in the tiny town of Portarlington in County Laois, 50 miles from Dublin.
A headline in Quartz magazine in the U.S. tells all. It reads: "How a bureaucrat in a struggling country at the edge of Europe found himself safeguarding the world's data."
The story unfolds the incredible tale of how Billy Hawkes, Ireland's Data Protection Commissioner finds himself in charge of the privacy issues of one billion people.
Quartz reports: "Every morning, the lone man in charge of overseeing how these companies use their data cycles to Heuston station, takes a 50-minute train ride out of Dublin, and walks the last five minutes to his office next to a convenience store in Portarlington, a town of some 7,500 people in the Irish midlands."
And from this office in this small town in the Irish midlands Billy Hawkes safeguards the data and privacy of one billion internet users around the world.
As Quartz reporter Leo Mirani points out, "Facebook was the first to declare that users outside North America have a legal relationship with its Irish subsidiary not the American mothership.
According to the company's third-quarter report for 2013 that is a total of 990 million people. LinkedIn did the same for its 175 million users, including Canadians, who live outside the United States.
Adobe followed suit. Dropbox is expected to do so soon. (Google retains California as the sole jurisdiction for any issues, data-protection-related or otherwise.)"
As the head of the tiny office of the Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) of Ireland, Hawkes is in charge of overseeing how the world's leading tech companies use the data they have.
The DPC was established in 1989 to "protect the individual's right to privacy by enabling people to know and to exercise control over how their personal information is used." Hawkes was appointed to be the head of the organization in July 2005, near the end of the Celtic Tiger boom.
At the time, Ireland was just establishing itself as the European capital for multinational tech companies after passing legislation in 1997 to cut corporate tax rates from 36%, in line with the OECD average, to just 12.5% by 2003. Google was the first to arrive that year, when taxes hit their low. Today big tech firms such as Facebook, Apple, LinkedIn, Twitter, eBay and PayPal have their European headquarters in Ireland, and the technology sector now employs 105,000 people in Ireland and accounts for €72 billion ($98 billion), or 40%, of all exports annually.
Despite this tech boom and all the additional responsibilities that have come the DPC's way, Hawkes's office has barely changed. The staff has grown from 22 to 30 in the last year and its budget from €1.5 to €2 million ($2.7m).
Joe McNamee of the civil rights group European Digital Rights (EDRi) says the Irish commissioner's office has "little credibility" and privacy advocates criticize its light-touch regulation. Ireland's DPC lets companies to "do whatever they want with personal data," plays down the threat of sanctions, and rarely uses enforcement powers, says EDRi.
In 2011, Max Schrems, a 24-year-old law student at the time, initiated a campaign calling for Hawkes to address several complaints against Facebook. He requested his personal data from the company under EU data-access laws and was shocked when he received a 500MB pdf file that ran to 1,222 pages when printed out, with information maintained under 57 data categories, including deleted information and a list of computers he'd used to log into his account. Accusing Facebook of being in violation of Irish and European data-protection laws, he filed 22 separate complaints with the Irish DPC.
Hawkes incorporated Schrems's complaints in an ongoing audit of Facebook, at the end of which the commission published its report and made a series of recommendations. One of the recommendations asked Facebook to make improvements to its automatic download tool, which allows users to gain access to their data. However the number of categories included in the tool fell from the 57 received by Schrems to just 20, with other bits of information scattered among a user's profile and "activity log."
Hawkes's critics believed this further indicated that the DPC was compromised and was pandering to tech companies.
At the time Schrems said the DPC was "miles away from other European data protection authorities in its understanding of the law, and failed to investigate many things."
A 2012 re-audit found that "most of the recommendations have been fully implemented to our full satisfaction," except in "a small number of cases [where] full implementation has not yet been achieved but is planned to be achieved by a specified deadline."
Hawkes, 62, says he does not relish being the "regulatory face of the privacy debate."

U.S. Regulator Studies Mobile Financial Market
WASHINGTON – A U.S. financial regulator is kicking off a broad inquiry into whether there are enough protections for consumers in the market for financial services provided via smartphone.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Wednesday published a detailed request for information on the use of mobile financial services products, the popularity of which has surged in recent years. With the closure of unprofitable bank branches, more banks have beefed up their smartphone applications, as Americans grow increasingly comfortable using their mobile phones to conduct basic financial transactions.
Many advocates of expanding access to the financial system to low-income populations see potential in the mobile-phones. Nearly 70% of consumers who don't have bank accounts have smartphones, according to a Federal Reserve report.
The CFPB said it wants to know more about what information companies are collecting from consumers –and whether low-income consumers are being treated fairly.
"We want to know if low-income consumers are getting the benefits of better-priced products," said the CFPB's director, Richard Cordray, in remarks prepared for a public hearing Thursday in New Orleans. "We want to know if providers are using their data to target them for higher-cost products."
CFPB officials gave little inkling of what kinds of protections could be enacted. "We need to make sure that the legal and regulatory framework can keep up effectively, so that all consumers can remain protected whether they are opening their wallet or scanning the screen on their smartphone," Mr. Cordray said.

Pfizer-Wyeth Deal Wraps Up; Layoffs to Follow
Update, Oct. 16: Which sites are closing, which are staying open?
The feds greenlighted the Pfizer-Wyeth deal yesterday, and the transaction is likely to be wrapped up today. Next question: Where will the synergy axe fall?
Pfizer has said it would cut about 15% of the companies' combined workforce. That's just under 20,000 jobs.
That figure includes roughly 8,000 jobs that Pfizer pledged in January to eliminate; the company said the cuts would "span sales, manufacturing, research and development, and administrative organizations."
Those cuts within Pfizer have already begun, a Pfizer spokesman told the Health Blog yesterday. But the full picture of who will be hit with post-merger layoffs remains unclear.
Connecticut newspaper The Day, which covers the part of the state where Pfizer has its R&D headquarters, reports this morning that it's too early to say whether any particular Connecticut operations will be closed.
The Times Herald, a Pennylvania paper, cites a letter Wyeth CEO Bernard Poussot sent out yesterday regarding the future of a couple of Wyeth's facilities. According to the article, the letter said:
After considerable discussion during the past several months Pfizer has determined that Wyeth's two headquarters facilities – Corporate headquarters in Madison, N.J. and Pharmaceutical headquarters in Collegeville, Pa. – will become key elements of Pfizer's future presence.
A Wyeth spokesman confirmed to the Health Blog that Poussot sent the letter reported by the Times Herald.

Stocks to Watch: Take-Two, UnitedHealth Group and More
Stocks to watch, including UnitedHealth Group and Take-Two Interactive.
UnitedHealth Group Inc. boosted its quarterly dividend and started a new stock buyback program for 10% of its outstanding shares, moves that come as companies increasingly enact shareholder-friendly actions in the wake of the recession.
Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.'s earnings outlook for the first quarter fell short of analyst expectations as the videogame maker ramped up marketing for its latest high-profile titles.
American Superconductor Corp. said President and Chief Operating Officer Daniel P. McGahn will become its new chief executive June 1 upon the retirement of founder Gregory J. Yurek, a move that comes as the company is facing weakness in the wind power market.
Conn's Inc.'s fiscal first-quarter earnings fell 31% as the consumer-electronics and appliances retailer's sales continued to be hurt by lower prices for televisions and appliances, despite improved results at its struggling credit operations.
Dycom Industries Inc.'s fiscal third-quarter profit slipped 9.6% on debt-related charges, though revenue rose and results beat expectations.
Focus Media Holding Ltd. swung to a first-quarter profit, topping analysts' expectations, on across-the-board top-line growth and wider gross margins.
Heico Corp.'s fiscal second-quarter profit jumped 34%, topping analysts' estimates, on strength at its flight-support unit. The company raised its current-year net income growth forecast to 20% from its earlier view of 15% to 17%. It lifted its sales growth projection to 18% from its previous estimate of 13% to 15%.
KongZhong Corp. swung to a slim first-quarter loss because of one-time items like write-downs and losses from debt repayment, but its adjusted bottom line rose on better-than-expected sales.

Pizza by the slice occupies a special place in the lives of New Yorkers. It's a fast, filling, slightly illicit after-school snack. It's a handy carb-fat-and-salt fix at the end of a bibulous night on the town. It's an economic indicator: When I was growing up, we measured inflation using the Pizza Parity Principle, the rule that dictated that the subway fare and the price of a slice moved upward in lockstep. And it's a touchstone of character: In 2011, it was conclusively demonstrated that Donald Trump is indeed a space alien when he was spotted eating his slice with a knife and fork.
Truth be told, though, most pizza by the slice in New York is pretty terrible these days — the mozzarella industrial, the toppings cheap and nasty, the whole hastily reheated affair congealed and greasy. So it's really nice to see the slice returned to greatness at Zoli's New York Pizza Tavern in the Bishop Arts District.
Zoli's was opened in August by Jay Jerrier, the pizza-obsessed character behind Deep Ellum's (and White Rock's) Cane Rosso. But where Cane Rosso is about Neapolitan-style pizzas, crusts charred in a 900-degree wood-fired oven and topped with fancyish things like Burrata, spicy bacon marmalade and caramelized onions, at Zoli's Jerrier is working in the pure pizza vernacular. This is New York-style pizza, baked in big steel electric ovens.
And what Zoli's shows is how a simple, humble food, so debased by cost- and corner-cutting, can be elevated by better ingredients and careful technique. The good mozzarella (with a touch of provolone) and house-made tomato sauce actually taste vividly like cheese and tomato. The pizza is properly chewy and floppy, and should be eaten as New Yorkers do it — held in one hand by the crust and partially folded lengthwise. You can order whole pies and choose from a dozen or so toppings, including prosciutto, anchovies and sausage, or order slices with a rotating list of embellishments. Pounce on the savory hot soppressata, the bianca (no tomato), or the pure New York style — just cheese, tomato and oregano.
Zoli's also makes two square-pan pizzas, the Sicilian and the grandma. The Sicilian's OK if you like that thick, bready style, but the grandma, which is meant to evoke the sort of homespun pie your Italian nonna might have made, is better. The crust is thinner, with a nicely crunchy bottom, and the lightly browned topping of cheese and uncooked crushed tomato is fresh and zingy with garlic.
There's more simple stuff done well here. The zucchini fries are terrific, crisply breaded and cooked until they're just soft inside, not squooshy or watery, and served with marinara sauce and ranch dressing. The pizza dough makes cameo appearances in the form of chewy, salty, oily and entirely addictive garlic knots and as diavoletti, a dessert of fried dough strips drizzled with Nutella, sea-salt-caramel sauce and powdered sugar. They're the kind of thing you only wish you could get at a Little Italy street fair. The straightforward salads are made with care and fresh romaine, lightly dressed with creamy Italian dressing.
An easy-on-the wallet way to sample much of the menu is the $10 lunch special, which includes any slice, a garlic knot, salad and soda.
Zoli's also offers a rotating list of 10 or so Texas beers and a couple of basic wines. The service is minimal and brisk: You order at the register, and your food is delivered to your table. The dining room is bare-bones — but 'ey, whaddya want? It's a pizza joint.
Mark Vamos is a journalism professor at Southern Methodist University.
Zoli's New York Pizza Tavern (3 stars)
Price: $ (slices $2.50 to $5.50, appetizers and salads $5 to $10, whole pizzas $18, desserts $7 to $8)
Service: You order at the counter, take a numbered flag and wait (briefly) for your food to be delivered to your table.
Ambience: Zoli's looks like what it is — a plain pizza-by-the-slice joint with basic tables and chairs. But there are a couple of funny touches — a unicorn head on the wall, pictures of dogs — and a small patio out front.
Noise level: Fairly subdued considering the half-tiled walls, thanks to the cork that covers the upper half of the walls.

Banyan Tree Mayakoba
Riviera Maya : Mayakoba
Luxury Riviera Maya retreat with spa, beach club
Melipona bees are a genus of stingless bees, several of which are kept for honey production and pollinators of the Mayan Jungle. Keeping Melipona bees has been a tradition for Maya communities for centuries, who believe the bees are imbued with a mystical power as messengers between the living world and the underworld; however these small bees have been in decline and are now threatened with extinction. Banyan Tree Mayakoba recently completed the second phase of its Melipona Bees: Mayan Legacy Project. Commencing in 2009, Phase One consisted of setting up a meliponary for the endangered community of bees located in Vida y Esperanza, 20km from the resort. Phase Two involved setting up a workshop to create handcrafted soaps using Melipona honey. The soaps are used as turn down gifts at the resort and for guests to purchase in the resort's gallery. Banyan Tree Mayakoba on the Riviera Maya, is 40 minutes from Cancun International Airport and within easy distance of three archaeological wonders - the Chichen Itza complex, Tulum seaside ruins, and Coba jungle temples. Featuring 107 pool villas, the resort preserves four eco-systems – the mangroves, dunes, low forests and coral reefs – in which it is located in, and pays homage to 'Mayakoba' which means 'Village of Water' with villas built along the waterways and ocean front.

NEW MADRID - The passage of a half-cent general revenue sales tax is an opportunity for the county to move forward, said First District Commissioner Mark Baker as the final votes were tallied.
New Madrid County voters approved the tax Tuesday by a vote of 890 in favor to 681 votes opposed to the tax. A simple majority was needed to approve the tax.
"I want to thank all the yes voters," continued Baker. "We have a chance to do good things now for New Madrid County.
Presiding Commissioner Clyde Hawes added the passage of the tax is an asset not only to the county but also for the local communities. The commissioners have pledged 25 percent of the revenue raised by the tax to be divided by the incorporated communities in the county.
Matthew Mayor Gene Curtis, who also watched as the votes were counted Tuesday evening, described the passage as a real boon to small towns. He added he would like the Matthews Board of Aldermen to consider a health plan for employees with some of the revenue, estimated at about $23,000 annually, the town will receive from the tax.
While the countywide tax proposal passed, a proposal to change the way the Lilbourn police chief is selected, from an elected to an appointed position, failed. Lilbourn overwhelmingly defeated the proposal by 23 yes votes to 98 opposed.
In a breakdown by precinct of the votes, according to unofficial tallies provided by New Madrid County Clerk Clement Cravens, the tally for the general revenue tax was:
Absentee, 23 yes, 7, no; Anderson 1 and 2, 44 yes, 21 no; Big Prairie 1 and 2, 62 yes, 28 no; Big Prairie 3, 13 yes, 21 no; Big Prairie 4, 8 yes, 35, no; Como 1 and 2, 49 yes, 26 no; Como 3 and 4, 71 yes, 22 no; Como 5, 13 yes, 5 no; Lafont 1 and 2, 19 yes, 50 no; Lafont 3, 4 yes, 27 no; Lesieur 1, 16 yes, 27 no; Lewis 1 and 2, 65 yes, 60 no; Lewis 3 and 4, 18 yes, 5 no; Lewis 5, 7 yes, 2 no; New Madrid 1, 71 yes, 31 no; New Madrid 2, 74 yes, 35 no; New Madrid 3, 78 yes, 34 no; New Madrid 4, 20 yes, 19 no; New Madrid 5, 12 yes, 17 no; Portage 1, 51 yes, 71 no; Portage 2 ,79 yes, 102 no; Portage 3, 31 yes, 9 no; West 1 and 2, 22 yes, 18 no; and West 3 and 4, 40 yes, 9 no.
The vote for the Lilbourn Police Chief issue was absentees, 1 yes vote and 4 no votes, with the Lewis 3 and 4 Precinct casting 22 yes votes to 94 no votes.
Cravens described Tuesday's election as running smooth overall, with only a few problems, primarily voters who failed to bring identification with them to the polls.

It took Roger exactly 100 minutes to secure a 6-3, 6-4, 6-1 win over Simone Bolelli (ATP 64) today. He scored the second point for the Swiss team after Stanislas Wawrinka won against Andreas Seppi (ATP 59) 6-4, 6-1, 6-2.
Roger said he felt tired before the match after having come directly from the US Open, but it rarely showed. He did have to save a few break-points but never really got into danger.
The doubles match tomorrow could already be the deciding one in the Davis Cup World Group playoff against Italy in Genoa. The plan is that Roger joins forces with Stan for the match against Fabio Fognini and Potito Starace. If the Swiss team wins the playoff they will retain their place in the World Group but if Italy stage a comeback they will replace the Swiss in the top tier of the competition.
I fully agree with both off u.
When I first read it I couldn't understand the tennis world anymore.
Roger who is a rolmodel and was awarded for the fifth time the Stefan Edberg Sportmanship was fined.
There are playe
Thanks Roger
I'm sorry for the doubles!!! It's all right that you haven't played today, it would really be too much! So, tomorrow, maybe you'll be fit for Seppi! I remember him playing Nadal in Cincinnati! He was very good, Nadal had a lot to do to beat hi
good luck against seppi tomorrow

Elephant race revoked
NASCAR will try anything to market itself, until the law steps in of course. That's the only reason the pre-race festivities for the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 will not include an elephant race Sunday.
"We didn't know until late yesterday that there were pachyderm permits required to move an elephant across state lines, and apparently, there are some health certifications required as well," Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager of the New Hampshire Motor Speedway, said in a press release Friday. "We're disappointed, but we simply don't have the time to comply properly with all the federal procedures."
The news was especially upsetting because after the race, the speedway was hoping to sell its freshly made "New Hampshire Moonpies" at the concession stand.
• Greg Norman and Chris Evert are getting married tonight in the Bahamas, but it hasn't been a smooth ride to the altar. The Palm Beach Post notes that reporters and paparazzi have been harassed by large local men while trying to cover the event (gotta side with the large local men on that one).
Evert's ex-husband, Andy Mill, is not invited. But, he tells the Post, he oughta be. After all, the Normans and the Mills were Palm Beach best buddies, and The Shark's ex-wife has said the new happy couple hooked up on a family fishing trip in 2006.
"I'm bummed out because I've been waiting for a phone call to tell me whether I'd be the first-ever best man and bridesmaid at the same event. It hasn't come yet," Mill said.
No love: Jim Souhan of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune is skeptical about the Timberwolves trading O.J. Mayo for Kevin Love. "You had to figure Mayo was better than Love, didn't you?" he writes. "I mean, Mayo and Love both played one year of college basketball in L.A., and Mayo made a lot more money."

AURELIUS TWP. - He's 82 years old now, but Charlie Schob still sojourns into the hills of Adams and Aurelius townships in Washington County to visit the graves of German ancestors buried in two cemeteries there.
"I've come here at least once every year since I was discharged from the military after the Korean War," Schob said recently as he climbed the long narrow trail to Liberty Hill Cemetery near Highland Ridge Road.
At the top of the hill a rusted gate from the fence that used to surround the graveyard now leans against a nearby tree. The cemetery itself, consisting of about 70 graves, seemed fairly well maintained, although there is no discernible road leading into the property.

Charlie Schob stands by one of his German ancestor's gravestones in the Hill Grove Cemetery in Adams Township.
"I think most of the people buried here probably had to be hauled up by a horse and cart," Schob said.
None of the graves are recent, with most dating back to the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Schob pointed out one of the larger gravestones bearing the names of Joseph and Emily Dixon.
"They were my great-grandparents, most of the family were basically farmers," he said. "My grandfather said years ago there was farm after farm after farm that belonged to the Dixons in this area."
The family name now graces nearby Dixon Ridge Road, where the much smaller Hill Grove Cemetery is located.
Hill Grove contains approximately 20 graves, most related to the Schob and Dixon families.
One of the taller monuments bore the names of another set of Schob's great grandparents- Traugott Gottlieb Schob, who was born in 1824 and died in 1882, and his wife Ernestine Schau Schob, who was born 1836 and died in 1908.
"My ancestors were probably all born in Germany," Schob said. "I once did some research at the German Embassy in Washington, D.C., to find out what part of the country they were from, and I was told most had come from far eastern Germany in an area that is now part of Poland."
He tried to further trace the family origins through the Polish Embassy, but didn't have much success.
Those buried in the cemeteries were long gone when Schob was born, but he still feels a connection to them - fostered mainly by his father, Earl D. Schob, who served as mayor of Marietta from 1940-1948.
"My father wasn't a religious man in the spiritual sense, but he was religious in attending to the final resting place of his ancestors," Schob said. "I think he appreciated their lives and what they did for him."
As a youngster Schob accompanied his father on annual visits to the cemeteries.
"He would often bring the county auditor along, too," he said. "It was his way to be sure the cemeteries were kept in good shape."
If a cemetery was not being properly maintained, the township officials would no doubt hear about it from the auditor.
Schob admits that, as a young man, visiting the graveyards wasn't a favorite pastime. But now he enjoys carrying on his father's legacy, and making sure their ancestors continue to rest in peace.

santa rosa fire department
In light of the recent earthquake in Napa County, an inquiry was made regarding the Sonoma County Sheriff's Helicopter Unit's (Henry 1), ability to conduct urban search and rescue missions (USAR). Two days after the Napa earthquake, the Henry 1 crew conducted a joint training operation with the Santa Rosa Fire Department, demonstrating Henry 1's vertical reference precision long line rescue technique. The Henry 1 crew was able to rescue 5 simulated victims from the 5 story Santa Rosa Fire Department training tower in under 7 minutes.

Rascal Flatts Bands Will Go Crazy on the Road! Or Not . . .
"We have to make sure that our little ones are still down," mama Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town says.
Rascal Flatts launches its all-band tour Friday (June 15), and the opening acts started to tell ABC News Radio how wild it's gonna get on the road—until they remembered their kids are coming, too.
"I have a feeling it's gonna get a little wild and crazy," Little Big Town's Phillip Sweet says, and his bandmate Jimi Westbrook agreed: "It is gonna be complete debauchery."
Leave it to the Little Big Moms to bring the guys back down to earth.
"The debauchery ends around 10:30 when we have to make sure that our little ones are still down," Jimi's wife/bandmate Karen Fairchild says.
And that won't be easy, she adds.
"In the summertime when the sun goes down later, it's so hard to get the babies [to sleep]," Karen said. "They hear the music and they want to watch all the acts."
Oh well. The Eli Young Band and Edens Edge also are joining the Flatts tour. Nannies not included. . . .

If you're a green-thumbed apartment renter, you probably don't have a patch of yard to call your own. That can be frustrating for people who want to grow their own plants outside, but don't worry! There's an easy solution that's probably not too far away: Join a community garden.
A community garden is a communal piece of land on which many people plant vegetables or flowers in divided plots. It's a way to beautify a community, improve your diet, get some exercise, connect to the environment and save money on grocery bills, all at the same time.
If there's a community garden near you that you're interested in joining, go for it! But there are a few things you should know before you get your hands dirty. Read on for our dos and don'ts of community gardening.

Lionel Richie was robbed!
His convincing comeback effort, "Tuskegee," absolutely deserved to be at least nominated for the Grammy Award for album of the year. It was an all-star affair, featuring many different generations of talent, and it brought Richie back to the top of the charts for the first time in more than 25 years.
In other words, it was the type of outing that Grammy voters once cherished (see Herbie Hancock's "River: The Joni Letters," Ray Charles' "Genius Loves Company" and Santana's "Supernatural"). Yet, these days the voters are more interested in rewarding Arcade Fire and Mumford and Sons.
In general, I'm cool with that, but not when it costs my man Lionel.
I'm sure that those who turn out to see Richie on Oct. 17 at the SAP Center in San Jose would agree. The R&B/soul/pop is on the road with his fan-friendly All the Hits All Night Long tour. Sounds like a blast.
Showtime is 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $49.50-$125 (www.ticketmaster.com).

Youth, Education, and Social Change in Contemporary Cambodia: The Story of the Ponheary Ly Foundation
In November of 2012, President Barack Obama made a diplomatic visit to the Southeast Asian nation of Cambodia. President Obama is the first US president to set foot on Cambodian soil since the American bombing of the country from1969-1975, leading up to the treacherous reign of the Khmer Rouge and the subsequent genocide killing approximately 2 million people. In the decades following the official collapse of the Khmer Rouge, Cambodia has continued to struggle with a legacy of deeply entrenched marginalization and exploitation for its people. It faces massive challenges in the areas of educational quality and access, poverty reduction, the management of infectious diseases, and the restoration and creation of economic opportunities for children and youth comprising the majority of the country's population.
In their presentation, Ponheary Ly and Lori Carlson of The Ponheary Ly Foundation tell the story of one organization's attempt to foster locally situated, sustainable social transformation in a nation heavily ensconced in the politics of international development and foreign aid. By focusing on access to quality education as an entry point for addressing a range of social issues, The Ponheary Ly Foundation creates comprehensive initiatives that strengthen the inherent capacity of the younger generation so they may lead their country toward a self-determined, equitable, and just future. Their interactive discussion will draw on story-telling, photography, and documentary video to share the moving, evolutionary journey of this organization and highlight the challenges, possibilities, and successes they encounter participating in the everyday work of a nation rebuilding itself.

William "Junior" Downs was executed this afternoon. He was pronounced dead at 6:17 pm.
Downs was convicted of kidnapping, raping, and killing six-year-old Keenan O'Mailia in 1999.
That's the crime he was executed for...but he also confessed to killing ten-year-old James Porter eight years earlier.
James' mother, Kathy Favors, watched Downs die.
It's taken Kathy fifteen years to return to normal life. She still has nightmares about the brutal rape and murder of her son.
"You know, I asked God time and time again to give me a sign that my child's up there."
It was Kathy's oldest son - James Porter - who was the first boy to fall victim to William "Junior" Downs.
Downs got away with murder for eight and a half years.
Kathy's ten-year-old son was sent out to a mom and pop store to buy milk. Little did she know, he never made it...and would never make it home.
"He said when he knocked him out, he had sex with him, said James started coming around and he strangled him a second time which is what killed him. Said then he had sex with him a second time and just pushed his body over in the river and left it."
A brutal and senseless crime...one Kathy says Richmond County didn't take seriously enough.
Her son's death was originally dubbed an accidental drowning.
"When my son got missin', a big part of me got missin'. And then when I asked to see the body and the police and all denied me of that right, it was like that part of me wasn't coming back."
Believe it or not, Kathy finds comfort in the story Downs would later confess when arrested for the murder of a North Augusta boy in 1999.
It was then that he admitted to raping and strangling James eight years prior.
Kathy accepted that confession as the only proof of her son's death.
"When Junior admitted to killing James, that told me then that my son was really gone and he wasn't coming back," Kathy says. "So I did forgive him. I don't forget it. And I got no use for him and I'll be happy when he's gone off the face of this earth."

As spring fever begins to run ramped through the halls of local schools, Harris Teeter's recent Together in Education (TIE) payout will help make sure the season is in full bloom. Schools will be able to use their monies raised for school field trips, spring athletics, and a variety of other much needed necessities.
Over 155,738 parents and supporters are taking advantage of Harris Teeter's TIE program. Their VIC card links allowed Harris Teeter to mail $337,565 to schools in its second scheduled TIE contribution of the year. Last week a total of 678 checks went out to 96 cities and 47 counties throughout the six states Harris Teeter serves.
It isn't too late for customers to participate in TIE and it is easy. Customers sign up with their VIC card and when they purchase Harris Teeter brand products, a percentage of those purchase dollars goes to the schools of their choice. Shoppers simply link the school of their choice to their VIC card. Families can link up to five schools from preschool through 12th grade and Harris Teeter will evenly distribute the money across the different school accounts.
Harris Teeter is proud of our efforts to support area schools and encourages everyone to link their VIC card to their school and "be a part of the solution."

The author's line of reasoning runs something as follows: The race is degenerating physically, as is shown by the increasing amount of illness, the rejections of recruits for the Army and Navy, the number of deaf and blind. He estimates the number of those affected with temporary or permanent physical disability as one in five. Mental degeneration is shown by insanity, criminality, vice, etc., and the number of cases is estimated at one in fifty, although, perhaps, this is too low. The causes of degeneracy are put as the intermarriage with lunatics, idiots and feeble-minded persons, child marriages, forbidding or restraining the healthy from marriage, encouraging the marriage of the unfit, release of asylum patients before recovery, overwork of the young brain, unsuitable employment for women and children, abuse of alcohol, undesirable immigration, venereal diseases, abortion and sexual excess. The legal restrictions of marriage in various countries

* BrokenBase: His movies can go into LoveItOrHateIt territory, which seems to mainly be due to their IdiotHero protagonists and divisive humor.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Started out as this in ''AustinPowers'' and ''{{Zoolander}}''.
* HilariousInHindsight: After playing a character named Marshall Willenholly in honor of ''Film/LandOfTheLost'', Will secures the role of Dr Marshall himself in the remake.
* MemeticMutation: Two words: Cowbell and Roxbury.
* PlayingAgainstType: In ''StrangerThanFiction'', ''Elf'', ''Megamind'', and ''DaddysHome''. Also playing the ever-frustrated straightman Alex Trebek in the SNL ''Celebrity Jeopardy!'' skits.
* StarMakingRole: ''Anchorman''. A great argument can be put of for Elf too which pre-dates ''Anchorman'' by a year.
%%* There's a number of comedy movies over the years where the production staff wanted a different actor for a specific role, but hired him instead. Some examples include:
%%** When the ''Bewitched'' remake was in production, Jim Carrey was being groomed for the Darrin Stephens-esque part (for a resemblance to Dick York), however, because he was unavailable to accept the role, it went to Ferrell instead.
%%** Similar case with the remake of ''Land of the Lost'' - Sid & Marty Krofft wanted Carrey for the role of Ranger Rick Marshall, however, he, once again, was unavailable at the time of production, so the Kroffts settled on Ferrell instead.
%%** Deja vu with ''Elf''; again, Carrey was among different actors who the producers wanted to play the title character of Buddy the Elf, and again, he was unavailable. In a mock-casting call to poke fun at the troubles finding another actor, one person attending the audition, who was fed up with the script supervisor's nitpicking, storms out with, "Why don't you get somebody like Will Ferrell to do this?!"

Should Ted Cruz forfeit his Hispanic heritage because of immmigration stance?
That's what former New Mexico Gov. and UN Ambassador Bill Richardson suggested over the weekend in an online interview with ABC News.
Here's the reply from Richardson, via The Daily Caller, when asked whether Ted Cruz represents most Hispanics with his politics:
"Almost every Hispanic in the country wants to see immigration reform. No, I don't think he should be defined as a Hispanic.
He's a politician from Texas, a conservative state. And I respect Texas' choice. But what I don't like is when you try to get things done — it's OK to be strong and state your views, your ideology, but I've seen him demean the office, be rude to other senators, not be part of, I think, the civility that is really needed in Washington."
So, according to Richardson, Cruz needs to forfeit his birthright since his political views don't line up with most Hispanics. So much for the "big tent" tolerance that Democrats are fond of talking about. Is there no room in Richardson's demographic for differences on how this country should control its borders or respond to people who broke immigration laws?
Richardson may not like it, but it's not true that "almost every" Hispanic thinks like he does on immigration. Most Texas Hispanics toe the Democratic Party line on immigration, but a big percentage doesn't.
The UT/Texas Tribune poll this winter asked about comprehensive immigration reform. About 26 percent of Hispanics somewhat opposed or strongly opposed it, with another 8 percent undecided. On another question, 33 percent of Hispanics said illegal immigrants should pay out-of-state tuition, 1 point more than blacks on the same question.
Richardson might think this big chunk of Texas Hispanics should be drummed out of the demographic group. A better idea would be treating them with respect despite a difference of opinion.
It's hard to say how many Hispanics might agree with Richardson that Cruz isn't Hispanic enough and should have his ethnicity revoked. The news media's network consortium didn't do exit polls in Texas last year, so hard numbers are elusive on Cruz's support among Latinos.
But pre-election polls showed strong support for Cruz among Hispanics. It was neck and neck between Cruz and Democrat Paul Sadler in the UT-Texas Tribune poll last October.
Progressive writer Charles Kuffner wrote that Cruz outpolled Romney in several Hispanic counties. Not surprising, but worth noting.
Surprising to me, though, was the ethnic breakdown on Gov. Rick Perry's job rating. Forty-seven percent of Hispanics in the Texas Lyceum poll last fall thought Gov. Rick Perry was doing a good job. Are they Hispanic enough or are they entitled to an opinion?
All this is hard for a white guy to relate to. I can't remember the last time I was accused of being "not white enough." It certainly wasn't the last time I stumbled onto the dance floor.
