Local Girls Roundup 1/8/13
BETHANY, Mo. – The Putnam County girls opened play in the South Harrison tournament as they took on North Harrison. PC came away with a tight 39-37 win.
Dakota Owings led the Midgetettes as she scored 12 points and grabbed seven boards. Haley Bradshaw also had a nice game as she score 10 and grabbed seven rebounds as well.
PC used a balanced attack with six girls scoring, Putnam needed the extra help with yet another starter out of the lineup this time Kailey Campbell was out of the Midgetettes' rotation.
Putnam now advances to the semifinals and will take on the winner of No. 2 seed and host school South Harrison and Cainsville on Thursday night at 8:30 p.m.
Green City 50, Newtown-Harris 35: MILAN, Mo. – The Lady Gophers tipped off in the Milan Tournament as they came away with a double-digit win. GC will now play Brookfield, who beat Grundy County on Thursday night at 7 p.m.
Schuyler County 57, North Shelby 47: QUEEN CITY, Mo. – The Lady Rams used big outings from Caley Sessions and Mallory Haley, who each scored 15 as they beat the Lady Raiders.
SC took the lead in the secondquarter and never gave it back, that doesn't mean it was easy though.
"We struggled to put them away after being up as many as 17, but our defense is improving and that helps us get transition buckets," said Schuyler head coach Thomas Kirkland.
The Lady Rams are off until Friday when they host Marceline.
Kirksville 54, Marshall 29: MARSHALL, Mo. – Ashton Vorkink continued her offensive outburst as she and McKenzie Russell each scored 17 and the Lady Tigers jumped all over the Lady Owls to win going away.

The Lady Tigers will travel to Ewing on Friday night to take on Highland.
Atlanta 38, La Plata 29: LA PLATA, Mo. – In a game that featured eight total points after the first eight minutes, the Lady Hornets were able to mount some late offense and come away with a big victory.
Samantha Reed led Atlanta with 13. Ashton Ross wasn't far behind as she added 10.
"They simply outplayed us. They were more physical, more aggressive and we didn't respond well. They came out early and smacked us in the mouth and that's all there is to it," said La Plata head coach Steve Lightle.
Makay Belt led the Lady Bulldogs with nine points. The week doesn't get any easier for LP as they host state-ranked Marion County on Thursday night and travel to Meadville on Friday night.

NEWTON, Mass.—Duke University junior Nick Palodichuk netted a goal in the 10th minute and the Blue Devils held off a furious charge by Boston College to earn a crucial 1-0 ACC men's soccer victory at Newton Campus Field tonight. The win was the first for the Blue Devils in ACC action and the first over Boston College since 2010.
The Blue Devils improve to 5-4-5 overall and 1-3-4 in ACC play. Boston College is 5-4-3 and 3-3-2 in the ACC with the loss. The three points pushes Duke's ACC point total to seven, tied with Syracuse.
Duke took a 1-0 lead in the 10th minute as Palodichuk calmly put away a pass from Tyler McDaniel for his third goal of the season. McDaniel received a flick from Brody Huitema just inside the box and headed it down an open Palodichuk on the left side of the penalty area.
With just the keeper to beat, the Battleground, Wash., native took a couple touches and put it past Alex Kapp in the right corner of the goal. The tally was just the third first-half goal for the Blue Devils this season. The assist was the first of McDaniel's career and the second for Huitema.
Boston College nearly evened the score just seconds later off the ensuing kickoff as a shot from Diego Medina-Mendez skipped wide. The Blue Devils regrouped and did well to possess the ball over the next 10 minutes in search of a second score.
The Eagles continued to attack and started to pressure Duke's stalwart backline. Good defensive efforts by the Blue Devils along with three saves from goalkeeper Alex Long kept Boston College off the scoreboard for a 1-0 lead at the break.
Duke, holding a 1-0 lead to start the second half for the third time of the season, weathered a flurry of pressure from the Eagles. Boston College had its best opportunity of the night less than five minutes in as Isaac Normesinu got in behind the defense. Long came off his line and deflected the ball wide to keep the Blue Devils' 1-0 lead.
Boston College continued to control the run of play throughout much of the second period, but the Blue Devils defended well in forcing the Eagles to take tough shots. As time started to wind down, Duke settled down and strung passes together.
Sensing the victory, Duke buckled down in the final four minutes and held off the furious final charge from the Eagles to earn the 1-0 ACC victory.
Long finished with four saves as he posted his fifth shutout of the season and third in the past four games. Boston College held a narrow 13-10 advantage in shots, while Duke had seven corner kicks to the Eagles' five.
Duke plays its final non-conference contest Tuesday, Oct. 22 against No. 25 Elon at 7 p.m. The Blue Devils close out their home schedule Friday against No. 15 Wake Forest.

quote:Originally posted by slozoMiller has a Vezina trophy. Silver medal as a starting goalie for the US team, and he was the best goalie of that tournament. For 540 starts, he has an amazing .916 career save percentage, mostly with a bad team with middling defence. He's a perennial all-star on the NHL, and basically a top 5 goalie every year, as rated by pundits and hockey commentators.Halak has no trophy as yet of any kind. He has performed very well internationally for the Slovak team however. And he has the exact same career save percentage as Miller (.917), EXCEPT - and this is a big caveat for me - it's over a 260 game span. He has been an OCCASIONAL all-star, and always has the potential to be a top 5 goalie in the league . . . but I think we could say he's been top 5 . . . maybe once? Possibly twice?
quote:Originally posted by dukeStaying on topic ( which doesn`t include clarkson ) .....do you think Ott is a good pickup for st . louis going into the playoffs ??Whats ur thoughts on Miller ?? i suppose you think he isn`t an upgrade over Halak ??Ryan Miller has always been and is still is an elite ALL - STAR goalie, he is one of the games best....no doubt about it.
quote:Originally posted by The DukeI`ve always thought highly of Ott.
quote:Originally posted by Guest7139Halak also had a the leagues best defence in front of him. Millers the better goalie by far. I just think the blues gave up way to much. Should've just been miller and ott for halak and Stewart plus first rounder

So yeah... the Simpsons sucks nowadays. We get that. A load of people on this site have given up on the show and don't watch the new episodes. So if you haven't already given up on watching new episodes... what would make you? Are you a completionist? Or would you give up if the next few seasons are as bad as the current show? Or some other reason?
Personally, I'm probably going to stick with the show until the end with my current attitude which is that I'll watch new episodes which get a good reception on this site otherwise I'll steer clear.

I recently noticed the clock on my PC was a bit off, which was surprising considering it is supposed to synchronize with a theoretically accurate time server. A little searching the tubes revealed I was not the only one unable to connect with either time.windows.com or time.nist.gov, as posts complaining of similar issues can be found going back months now. One of the posts suggested using time-a.nist.gov, which indeed works for me, but it is a bit odd that this seems to be so widespread.

|Where are you from?
|I was born in Hartselle, AL, but I moved to Murfreesboro, TN when I was a small child. I consider Murfreesboro to be my hometown.
|What degree did you/will you receive and when?
|I was awarded my B.S (Magna Cum Laude) from MTSU in 2009. In the Spring of 2012, I received my M.A in Sociology here at UAB. I am currently working towards my PhD in Medical Sociology and expect to graduate in 2016.
|How long have you been at UAB?
|I moved to Birmingham in January of 2010. I have been here for three years now.
|What is your research?
|As Sociologists, we often talk about the ways in which social factors, such as socioeconomic status, discrimination, housing, and education "get under the skin" of individuals to affect measurable, medical, outcomes. Research has indicated for some time now that the social determinants of health and disease are as important to one's health as individual behaviors and health care services. My research focuses on the negative effects of discrimination and social stigma which include increased levels of anxiety and depression, increased production of cortisol, the receipt of substandard medical services, and an avoidance of treatment services. Specifically, I study stigma individuals with substance abuse disorders. I am currently developing my dissertation proposal which will investigate the impact of multiple stigmas among HIV+ substance users. I will be examining the association between multiple stigmas and HIV treatment retention and medication adherence.
|Why did you choose UAB for your graduate studies?
|UAB has the nation's only PhD program that is solely focused on the training of Medical Sociologists. UAB's strong Medical Sociology program and the research resources available here on campus, including the Center for Social Medicine and the Center for Aids Research, made UAB the ideal choice for graduate school for me.
|Have you received any awards or honors?
|In November of 2012, I received the Stanford Lyman Dissertation Scholarship for my proposed dissertation research. This honor provides a small cash award to offset the cost of my dissertation research. (For more information regarding the Stanford Lyman Scholarship Award, visit http://www.uab.edu/sociology/features/822-student-spotlight-stringer)
|What has been your most rewarding experience at UAB?
|I think my most rewarding experience has been my involvement in UAB's Graduate Student Association. My involvement in this group has allowed me to form valuable connections all across campus with other graduate students, faculty, and administrators. As the chair of the community service committee it has been amazing to watch the graduate student body come together to give back to the City of Birmingham. I strongly suggest every graduate student become involved in this organization.
|Who was your greatest influence here at UAB and why?
|This is perhaps the toughest question for me to answer. There have been numerous faculty here at UAB, both in the Department of Sociology and the School of Public Health, that have played an integral role in my development as a researcher. I have found some amazing collaborators here at UAB including Dr. Janet Turan, Dr. Shelia Cotten, and Dr. Belinda Needham. Each of these ladies have taught me a great deal about how to be an ethical, successful researcher.
|What is your motivation in your academics/research?
|I have always been a very persistent and dedicated person when it comes to academics. I have always had a passion for learning and for problem solving. Particularly, as a social scientist I am very much motivated by the inequalities that are still very real and the effects that such inequalities have on a person's quality of life. Being aware of the negative impacts of social discrimination, I find it impossible not to be driven to do my part. On a more personal note, I am also a mother of a teenage son who is very supportive of my studies. Knowing that I am setting the best example possible for him is huge motivator. Being the first person in my family to earn a college degree, I know that my studies will alter my family tree from here on out and make a huge difference in what my son ultimately does with his future.
|What are your plans after graduating and for the future?
|My ultimate goal is to become an independent researcher in the field of substance abuse research. My goal is to affect a change in the field of substance abuse treatment by creating an intervention that takes into account the various social aspects to treatment utilization.Additionally, I am very excited about teaching. I am very passionate about Sociology and I thoroughly enjoy watching students eyes light up as they begin to grasp the impact that social forces have on one's life. I desire to secure a position which will allow me to devote a substantial amount of my effort to teaching in action to my research.
|Kristi's Advice for Other Graduate Students:
Cut yourself a little slack. Graduate school can be tough. We often don't talk about the stresses that are inherent in pursuing an advanced degree. We not only experience pressures from the outside, but we often put unreasonable expectations on ourselves. So you had a failed experiment, or your mentor took a job at another university, or it takes a little longer than you thought to finish. The reality is that we are all human; we all make mistakes. Graduate school will come with its ups and downs and we will sometimes fall short of that mark we set for ourselves. My advice when this happens: don't be so hard on yourself. You are not alone. We have a tendency to compare our insides to everyone else's outsides and feel like we are alone when really these things are a normal part of academic life. We have all felt the pressures of academia and we know where you're coming from. When I face these types of academic adversities I have to step back and take a minute to put things in perspective. I ask myself "how important is this really, compared to the grand scheme?" and usually I am able to take a step back and relax. Surviving graduate school is about tenacity and determination. It's about learning how to survive these ups and downs and come out a stronger person and a better researcher.

The joys (or otherwise) of spam commentsOctober 7, 2009 at 8:46 pm | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 11 Comments
Tags: black hat SEO, Google, material link, mattress, spam, Spanish, unethical advertising
I've now been privileged to receive my first two Spanish spam comments, after posting about Barcelona so much recently! Multilingual spam – cool.
On a serious note though, I'd personally recommend that everyone moderates all their comments on blogs because spamming via comments is a popular pastime. Why? Because the spammer gets a link to their site at the same time, and the more links from outside sites to a website, the higher it's ranked on Googe and other search engines. It's known as black hat SEO and it's not funny and it's not clever.
Some spam is more targetted – for instance a certain mattress is being subtly and perhaps unethically advertised on various R.A. blogs at the moment. Odd that I had an identical comment saying how great the mattress was to one on one of the blogs I follow, and yet purporting to be a different person posting. These guys are taking it to a new level though. Instead of posting a general comment like 'great blog man. Cool info! So glad I found it' which can apply to any blog in the known universe, the mattress folk are responding to actual blog posts – must be time consuming but probably pays better dividends as they look like 'real posts from real people'.
Interestingly I recent saw some information that suggested this was now illegal in America – you have to actually state a material link to the thing being advertised, if one exists. It may simply be that you were sent a free one to review – you still have to make it clear that you received it for free.
So … watch out mattress folk – gut subtler, get out or get your fingers burned.
On the bright side – I kinda get a kick out of spotting them and going ha ha, didn't fool me … this time!

Automated comments is the only way to go! There is so much spam from spambots or otherwise, and I prefer to not subject my readers to the latest "testimonial" of Viagra! I was absolutely overwhelmed with spambots until I installed NoSpamNX plugin for wordpress – it adds a hidden field on the comments form, which spambots fill out but humans do not…if that hidden field is touched, the spam comment does not even get submitted!
Yes, I read about the upcoming disclosure rules for bloggers. Obviously there will always be gray areas, but I follow a lot of technology podcasts and blogs, and actually welcome the new rules. In the past years, there have been numerous scandals involving people "reviewing" computers, smartphones, and other pricey items that they had received for free…

Panther scorecard so far....
Meanwhile, a few of the highlights so far....
Biggest shocker: John Kasay getting a pink slip from the Panthers. My column on why the Panthers must honor Kasay, the last original Panthers, is here.
The Steve Smith saga: Now he says he wants to be a "Panther for life," according to reports. Good. I've been advocating this -- the trade value was just too low for Smith and the Panthers need him this year as much as ever.
Quarterback countdown: Cam Newton hasn't been announced as signing his deal yet, but that figures to be a formality given the newly-instituted rookie wage scale. But who will the veteran be? I've been campaigning for Jake Delhomme (see previous blog posts), but who knows?
He's springing for dinner: Charles Johnson can't stay under the radar anymore, not after that $72-million mega-deal. Expect plenty of ribbing from Panthers teammates for that one.
The running back stable: With DeAngelo Williams back in the fold, the Panthers have one of the best running back stables in the NFL. I like this move, because the nature of the position is someone will likely be hurt in training camp.
So far, mostly so good. In Tuesday's newspaper, I advocated the Panthers doing five things right away... They've done 3.5 so far... A review...
1) Sign Charles Johnson. Check
2) Sign DeAngelo Williams. Check
3) Sign Cam Newton. No check yet, but surely this isn't going to be too difficult given the parameters established by the new CBA.
4) Sign a veteran defensive tackle and a veteran QB. DT Ron Edwards (check). The QB? Not yet. Half-credit.
5) Solve the Steve Smith situation. Check -- he's expected to be reporting for the Panthers Friday morning in Spartanburg.

I have read your pleas for Jake Delhomme now in at least 3 articles. We get it. You love Jake Delhomme. I love the Dolorian. But neither one is coming back. So drop it already.
- July 28, 2011 at 2:09 PM
I don't get the Jake obsession either. As evidenced by his performance in Cleveland, he is done. Finished. Washed-up. He is, as Kurt Busch once famously called Jimmy Spencer, "a decrepit old has-been."
If we are really that convinced that Cam & Jimmy don't know how to play QB and we need to get someone to teach them, get someone who has been in a winning program and has shown ability to play. Billy Volek comes to mind. He's only played in a handful of games, but he's been behind some very good QBs and Rivera knows him from their days at San Diego.
- July 28, 2011 at 2:24 PM
Panthers are making some very good moves - I'm getting pumped up for the season. It will be interesting to see how the preseason unfolds - it won't be your normal preseason, as the games will be ultra important in prep for season.
As for Jake, I think there's a better choice out there and his name is Billy Volek. He played under Chud in San Diego, is familiar with Rivera from his time there, and can mentor Cam on the offensive scheme.
- July 28, 2011 at 2:27 PM
What a joke. Garbage in garbage out garbage back in. $ame ole $hit just new diapers.
Smith was there last 3 yrs and did nothing. So what else is new? Newton is a big fat crook zero.
The only difference is the whole flim flam league gets to split billions more of your money stolen from your bank account.
Favre is available from the Viks. He would be the only plus.

You obviously want Cam to fail, working with a jake the fake delhommey could seriously injure Cam, teaching him to read defenses so he can lead the league in . Please interceptions. GET REAL, we need a bonafide veteran QB that can help him learn to read defenses and how to study game film. Much like the way McNabb helped Vick.
- July 28, 2011 at 2:39 PM
Couldn't agree more with bringing Jake back. We aren't going to the Super Bowl this year and he has been lauded for helping mentor McCoy in Cleveland.
Jake played his butt off here and deserves to retire a Panther. All those who are against bringing back the best QB our organization ever had need to go take a long walk off a short cliff.
- July 28, 2011 at 2:44 PM
PLEASE PLEASE no more pick 6 Jake. Get Farve.
- July 28, 2011 at 2:46 PM
Let me get this straight. Some of you are arguing FOR bringing in Brett Favre who famously declared he has NO INTEREST in developing young QB's over Jake who did so with a smile in Cleveland? What are y'all smoking?
BTW did any of you watch Favre last year? How is that an upgrade over Jake?
- July 28, 2011 at 3:04 PM

3 years ago Smith avg. over 100 yard receiving per game and over 18 yards per catch.

"You love Jake Delhomme. I love the Dolorian. But neither one is coming back."
I'd be okay bringing back Jake provided it was Jake back from the past in a a time traveling Delorian.
But, though I like Jake a lot, I'd have no confidence in him starting while Newton learns. If Cam starts on day 1, then it'd be okay but I don't think that happens.

- July 28, 2011 at 3:13 PM
Nothing in sports is more over-rated than the veteran mentor QB. I love Jake Delhomme for what he did as a Panther but he he will fit this new offensive scheme like a pair of Giselle Bundchen's panties would on Kris Jenkins. The only thing Jake could really show Cam is how to throw it to the other team. I think the Panthers should stick with Cam, Jimmy & Tony Pike & let their new QB guru Mike Shula earn his money.
- July 28, 2011 at 3:30 PM
How is this team any better than last year's team?
- July 28, 2011 at 3:30 PM
This team is better because of Ron Rivera, certainty moving forward, and the potential of the offense.
Dim wits!
And oh by the way - it's a DeLorean!
- July 28, 2011 at 3:45 PM
I hope $cam Newton never wins a game. I'll only be a Panthers fan again once they bench him. Oh, and hide your laptops, Charlotte.
- July 28, 2011 at 3:49 PM
For those who don't get it, the trainers and coaches would teach Cam Newton HOW to play the position in the NFL. The vet QB, i.e. Jake Delhomme, would show him how to become the leader of the team, both on and off the field. THAT was something that JD did VERY well.
- July 28, 2011 at 3:49 PM
LOL! J.T. . . . how could anybody improve on that! I ditto your remarks.
These Disturber sports writers get on a kick and they just absolutely can't get off. I'm so sick of hearing about Newton's jersey number I think I'll puke when (not if) they mention it again, and again and again. . . .
I hope the liberal rag goes down in flames.
- July 28, 2011 at 4:08 PM
We are WORSE than last year. 0-16 is a very distinct possibility.
- July 28, 2011 at 5:23 PM
Panthers scorecard so far...
Kept your own FA players...3
Lost players you wanted to keep..0
Will lose..R Marshall, CB
Significant FA signings...0
Go get A star CB, a star WR, and two star OG's...
put your money where your mouth is!
- July 28, 2011 at 5:28 PM
Great...Chad Johnson (not calling him 8 5) just get traded to the Pats. The Pats also bring in Albert Haynesworth.
The Panthers simply keep their own players.
Chad, on the opposite side of Steve Smith, With Shockey as the TE.
Yeah, I'm real impressed with Jerry Richardson and the Panthers!
- July 28, 2011 at 6:07 PM
Hire Jake... Just don't put him under center, ever again...
- July 28, 2011 at 6:13 PM
We get a TE...Greg Olsen from the Bears!
Now, Go get Nnamdi, a Big WR, and two Offensive Guards!

What is with all the Jake haters? Geez he took us to a SB! Such fairweathered fans you make me sick! Bring him back as a mentor. He is a leader! That's what we need. Wake up people. And to John as well I will miss you. They did him wrong.
- July 28, 2011 at 6:32 PM
Jeremy Shockey and NOW Greg Olsen! Tight End hasn't looked as good since Wesley Walls was here. Now let's get a Wide Receiver like Lance Moore.
- July 28, 2011 at 6:47 PM
Lance M resigned with the Saints and RR stated he likes the current OLine.
- July 28, 2011 at 6:56 PM
3 yrs ago Smith was injured. Nice try beanbrain.
He actually has done nothing in 4 yrs.
- July 28, 2011 at 7:02 PM
Whatver you do, do not sign Landri. Rely instead on a 32 year old roll player and a couple of rookies who have never played a down in the NFL. The only way this makes any sense is if the team is going to play 3-4 75-80% of the time.
- July 28, 2011 at 7:06 PM
Jake.No Way No How.Drop it.Forget it.Get it out of your mind.
- July 28, 2011 at 7:18 PM
Marc Bulger....DO IT!!!

I saw a dolorian in myrtle beach, back to the future style...it can be done
- July 28, 2011 at 9:15 PM
Kerry Collins as mentor QB. he lives in asheboro, and is one of top 10 all-time passing. got a raw deal here, spitting pieces of his broken jaw out, due to crappy o-line. imo
- July 28, 2011 at 10:11 PM
DeLorean is not coming back?? CRAP!!!
Didn't he have a smokin' hot wife?

Cam starts on day one. He's that good and some of you guys should be glad you're posting anonymous since you obviously don't know jack about football.
- July 29, 2011 at 2:41 AM
I'm not a panthers fan but I think they should take a stab at Vince Young. I think he would be a perfect fit let cam take his time.
- July 29, 2011 at 3:20 AM
Cam Newton is a black quarterback.
We are screwed.

Congress secretly investigating this NFL smelly scumbag slimewad redneck thug punk union skank extortion scam where billions more in stolen loot was lifted off the US middle class already in debt 15 trillion.
It seems now that the 50-50 deal to split these mega billions between owners and players was a conspiracy rig and both in bed together with all the male downlow kissing and hugging at the end.
Complete overhaul and new leadership in DC in 2012 for certain to continue new changes and eject these swine extortionists nationwide that will revamp this trillion dollar tv cable pro sports racket heist.
ps. Call your Congressman to investigate this latest NFL ripoff.

So Scott, are you Jakey-boy's secret lover or something? That would explain the man-love you seem to have for him. To the rest of us serious fans, he's a washed up has-been. Please get over yourself (and Jake) already...we get it.

Steelers def RULE.
SIX SUPERBOWLS. Thats 6 for illiterate Charlotte NC who cant read write or count)
What are these pathetic Panthers doing?
Paying the same exact LOSER players 50-80 million each that went 2-14 in 2010?
Drafting future jailbirds?
Richardson lost his brain?
Go North baby go North ...

MANY HSC students who come from poorer backgrounds with medical or learning difficulties are missing out on special assistance with exams, according to paediatricians.
As reported in Fairfax Media on Wednesday, students from independent schools applied for disability provisions, which includes assistance such as rest breaks or a scribe, at almost twice the rate of public school students last year.
The figures are almost identical to those for 2011, which prompted the NSW Ombudsman to launch an investigation into the ''drivers and barriers'' to the program.
Dr Michael Freelander, a paediatrician at Campbelltown, said he saw ''lots of kids with disabilities who never get access to the provisions because either their parents or the school don't act on what's allowable''.
''They don't have families who can push hard enough, get the forms … take them along to doctors, interact back with the school.''
The figures show 11 per cent of HSC students in independent schools applied for disability provisions, compared to 6 per cent of public school students.
Dr Andrew McDonald, also a paediatrician and the Labor MP for Maquarie Fields, said poor access to medical specialists was a major factor in some teenagers not being diagnosed or applying.
''If you can't pay for a psychiatrist in Campbelltown, you tend not to see them,'' he said.
A 2011 report commissioned by the Board of Studies identified access to specialists as one disadvantage faced by some students from poorer backgrounds.
A spokeswoman from the Board of Studies said all applications were considered in a ''fair and consistent manner'' and that information explaining the program was communicated to students and schools.

Like most of America, I first saw Robin Williams playing Mork -- the hyperactive, fast-talking, off-the-wall comedic alien on the ABC sitcom "Mork & Mindy" when I was a kid in the '70s.
I loved him. All kids loved him ... because it was like he was one of us.
It seemed while the rest of us grew older, he didn't. Which is why, 36 years after storming into our family rooms like a sillier Steve Martin with his pants on fire, it's mind-boggling he's gone. Kids -- even big ones -- aren't supposed to go before the rest of us.
Williams died Monday of a suspected suicide in his Tiburon home. In the coming days, you'll hear a litany of tributes about one of the great comedians who ever lived. Much of it will be some of the same adjectives used when any great performer dies -- especially before their time.
But in Williams' case, most of it will be true. Especially when anyone says he was one of a kind.
Riffing on words and ideas, leaping with lightning speed from thought to idea to rant to epiphany, there wasn't a faster brain on the planet. His intensity was mesmerizing. Denis Leary's mouth was pedestrian compared to Williams'. It could be hard to keep up.
Add to that an absolute fearlessness to say whatever was on his mind, and the rare ability to find ridiculousness in almost any situation, no one could compare.
But for all his humor, there was a sad side as well. Anyone who's followed him over the years knows he, like many comedians, used humor to deal with his demons. He'd been to rehab -- most recently in July. He was an alcoholic and cocaine addict who cleaned up the first time in 1982 after the death of his friend John Belushi. Williams may not land on many best actor lists, despite studying theater at Juilliard and starring in some great (and many not-so-great) films, because it didn't really seem like acting, despite his range. The funny stuff could be chalked up to the class clown again acting desperate for someone's attention. The serious stuff didn't seem like acting because it was clearly so natural for him. Seeing him in a serious film role for the first time in "The World According to Garp" was at once stunning -- because who would have believed a guy who dressed up in a red alien suit would do real drama? -- and not surprising at all, because his character seemed like such a natural extension of the actor.
Then again, it's hard to gauge how much of his life wasn't acting. Obviously his pain was enormous. It's frightening to think that someone who made a living at bringing happiness to others could be stuck in a depression so deep that he saw no way out but to take his own life.
Williams told U.K. newspaper The Guardian in 2010 that drinking was a way to deal with constant fear, even if it sometimes prompted behavior he found shameful. "It's just literally being afraid," he said. "And you think, oh, this will ease the fear. And it doesn't."
When asked what he was afraid of, Williams said "Everything. It's just a general all-around arggghhh. It's fearfulness and anxiety."
So yes, it's ironic that the man who struggled with fear and unhappiness spent most of his life making strangers happy -- sometimes deliriously so. And not just with his work. Williams was known for interacting with fans and having a big heart. His philanthropic work ranged from helping the homeless for years by co-hosting HBO's "Comic Relief" with Billy Crystal and Whoopi Goldberg, to making semiregular visits to developmentally disabled students at Danville's San Ramon Valley High School, according to a parent, something he did "without fanfare."
At 63, his body of work was extensive, but he still had much to offer. For that, the fan in me wishes he would've stayed around a bit longer. Maybe he could have churned out one last "Good Will Hunting," or "Good Morning Vietnam."
Still, none of us could have known what it was like to live in his head, experiencing his thoughts and his emotions. One way or another, he's no longer feeling the pain.
At least we fans are left with happy memories and decades of great, sometimes hilarious, sometimes heart-wrenching work. And for that I'm thankful.

Translated by Cristina Perez Ayala
Three hundred meters from Onvas (town), south of Sonora, archaeologists discovered the first pre-Hispanic cemetery of the region. This cemetery is about 1000 years old and is made up of 25 individuals burials: 13 of these have intentional cranium deformities, and 5 also have dental mutilations, a cultural practice similar to pre-Hispanic groups in the south of Sinaloa and the north of Nayarit, which had not been previously registered in this state (Sonora).
To archaeologists, the importance of the discovery is the evidence of customs that had not been registered in ancient cultural groups in Sonora: the cranium deformation (frontal occipital lobe) applied to 13 individuals of the Cemetery Cemetery is a name archaeologists have given the site, as well as the modifications made to the lateral pieces to give them a V shape.
The areas finding holds unique characteristics because it mixes the cultural expressions of groups from the northern part of Mexico such as the use of shells and spiral shells originating from the Gulf of California, with western traditions never before seen in Sonora. With this discovery, the limit of influence of the Mesoamerican people has been shown to be more extensive than what had been registered in archaeology, emphasized archaeologist Cristina Garcia Moreno, director of the investigation project by the Arizona State University with the approval of the Council of Archaeology of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), when the data was discovered (excavation season of 2012).
Garcia Moreno said there is no other site in Sonora that has identified similar cranium and dental modifications; neither has it been found in the southwestern part of the USA which shares the cultural area with Sonora. However, the closest cultural groups that had developed these traditions were in the northern part of Sinaloa and the Marismas Nacionales area (south of Sinaloa and north of Nayarit), and they had incorporated into their culture some western and Mesoamerican customs.
However, she said, the Onavas Cemetery does not belong to Mesoamerican migratory groups, but to a sedentary one which had local development and that at some point in its history came in contact with Mesoamerica and incorporated some ideas into its own culture. We are in the process of confirming (through thorough investigation) if there was a relationship between this group and those in Sinaloa and Nayarit.
Cristina Garcia explained that the cranium deformity in Mesoamercan cultures was used for two reasons: to differentiate social groups or for rituals. The dental mutilation in the Nayarit cultures was practiced in adolescents as a rite of passage, which coincides with the findings in Sonora, where the five bodies that bear this mutilation are over 12 years old.
Of the 25 skeletons recovered, 17 belong to minors between 5 months and 16 years and 8 belong to adults. Investigator Garcia Moreno believes the quantity of infants and adolescents identified in the Cemetery could be an indicator of the malpractice of cranial mutilation, which might have caused their death by excessive force when the cranium was squeezed. This might be deducted from studies which will be made to the remains whose results dont indicate their death was caused by a disease.
Archaeologist Cristina Garcia also noted that these discoveries are encouraging more investigations in the southeast of Sonora, which has been not been subjected to a great amount of research; the northern part (desert), the northeast and the coast have been prone to more research; since the discovery of the Cemetery we know for sure the southeast is different to what had been previously known, this side is completely

After coming up short to Ozark in the Central Ozark Conference Tournament last season at Willard, the Neosho wrestling team hadn't been able to get that sour taste out of its mouth. Not until Saturday, that is.
After coming up short to Ozark in the Central Ozark Conference Tournament last season at Willard, the Neosho wrestling team hadn't been able to get that sour taste out of its mouth. Not until Saturday, that is.
A dominant effort from top to bottom saw the Wildcats turn in five individual champions, three seconds, four thirds and two fourths for a total of 14 medalists. Those totals helped them win the meet by 103.5 points as they downed Nixa 331-227.5 at Webb City High School.
"It's definitely nice to reclaim the conference title," Wildcats coach Jeremy Phillips said. "We lost it trying to hang on last year, so that's one thing we talked about coming into (Saturday), was having the mindset of pedaling downhill — not putting it on cruise control, so to speak.
"We won some big matches but, again, we lost some matches that we're going to have to work to avenge come district and state time."
Neosho's Kyler Rea (113 pounds), River Buttram (120), Nate Rodriguez (132), Jacob Brock (182) and Christian Lopez (220) each won the conference title in their respective weight divisions. For Lopez, ranked No. 3 in his class by MissouriWrestling.com, the win marked a special moment in his career.
"Christian Lopez is one of those kids that I made an example out of," Phillips said. "and I usually don't highlight individuals. But we've got a senior who has taken the course of his career to win his first gold medal at any tournament, and I think that's something to highlight in front of the kids. He's a great example of what we need to do as a team, and that's press forward."
Rea, who is 37-4 on the season and ranked No. 1 at 106 pounds, was ecstatic after winning the conference title as a freshman.
"I feel pretty good," he said with a smile. "I think I could have done better, but it's been pretty fun."
Brock, meanwhile, the No. 3 wrestler in his class at 47-3 overall, made short work of the 182-pounders as he pinned all of his opponents after receiving a bye in the first round. That included his fall of Willard's Duane Faller, who came into the match at 28-7 overall, in 1:54 in the title match.
"In practice Friday I set a goal for this weekend to pin out, and I did that," Brock said. "My last match I was mentally and physically prepared. I knew I was going to pin him. We had a tough, hard week of practice preparing for this."
Other team results had Carthage coming in third with 225 points, followed by Ozark (205), Willard (179), Branson (109.5), Republic (109) and Webb City (94).
Individual results for the Wildcats were: 106, John Williams (4-1) pinned Dakota Jones (Carthage) in 5:28 for third place; 113, Rea won by major decision over Naseeph Al-Roubaie, 8-0, for first; 120, Buttram won by decision over Gage Gartner (Carthage), 7-4, for first; 126, Dakota McGarrah lost to Joe Velliquette (Nixa) by major decision, 9-0, for second; 132, Rodriguez won by major decision over Nick Plyter (Ozark), 13-3, for first; 138, Jason Box lost to Clint Godfrey (Ozark), 5-0, for fourth; 145, Kyle Hostetter pinned Schyler Chott (Republic) in 2:32 for third; 152, Chance Branstetter lost by major decision to Destin Prather (Nixa), 5-3, for second; 160, Garrick Fausett lost to Kerik Crouse (Republic) by decision, 3-2, for fourth; 170, Austin Hailey won by major decision over Alex Lane (Webb City), 11-3, for third; 195, Ben Elledge lost to Cody Lindsay (Ozark) by pin in 53 seconds for third; 220, Lopez won by decision over Ben Melton (Nixa), 7-3, for first; 285, Aaron Clardy lost by decision to Xyah Ra (Nixa), 3-2, for second.
The Wildcats have two weeks to prepare for districts when they'll hit the mat in the Class 3, District 3 meet at Willard High School in Willard, Mo. on Feb. 8-9.

It is with great sadness we inform you that the Professional Championships at the German Open Championships (Stuttgart) will no longer be part of the world renowned WDC World Super Series. This will surely be very disappointing to those visitors to the GOC who , for many years have enjoyed the performances of the Worlds Best Professional dancers, the competitors of the WDC.
The contract between GOC and the World Dance Council was terminated following the decision of the GOC to limit entries to the Professional Championships by entering into an agreement with the IDSF Professional Division. This occurred despite the long-standing mutual co-operation between the Professional organisation of Germany (DPV) and Amateur Organisation of Germany (DTV).
We would urge everyone reading this press release to inform all competitors and members of the Dance fraternity that the best Professional Competitors will no longer be taking part in Stuttgart which will surely diminish the value of these formerly great championships

Today's Blind Items - She Is Good
I have seen and heard of some great extortion and blackmail plots in Hollywood. Most of them involve photos kept under wraps in exchange for money or access. There is of course Harvey Levin's personal stash of J Edgar Hoover worthy stuff which keeps those interviews coming and all those insider tips from one certain family. Anyway, I never thought I would see someone pull one over on this foreign born A+ list mogul/reality star/producer. Usually it is he who is making the deal and putting someone in their place. There was one time that an ex got an upper hand on him but she eventually lost her leverage and now she ends up having sex with him when he wants it and she is reliant on his hand outs again. There is a B list reality star from his home country that managed to get the mogul though. You can talk about his sex life all you want and release whatever you want and he doesn't care. Drugs though. That is a different story. People are far less tolerant about drug use than sex. It turns out the pair used to have sex together all the time. Hey, it is what he does with all the talent he finds attractive. Or employees. Or strippers. Anyone really. He ended up at her place one night which is something he never does. Always a neutral site or his place. Always. Why? Exactly for this reason. She nailed him. On video doing drugs and it wasn't just pot. He tried to get back at her when she threatened him because she needed money but she won. Big time and now he is seriously kissing her butt to the point where she is going to be an even bigger pain than she used to when he was trying to humble her. She is going to get some huge payback and it has already started with that 8 figure paycheck she just got from him. 8 figures.

Sonatype has gone public with the findings of its annual Open Source Development Survey. The study claims to be the "largest of its kind" surveying (as it does) more than 3,500 developers, architects and IT managers currently using open source.

Key findings "suggest" that much of software today is now assembled from open source components and frameworks downloaded from repositories (at least 80% of the app). But the investigation also proposes that few organizations have the controls or processes to identify which components are in use, to govern their usage, or to eradicate flawed components from production applications.
An overwhelming majority (76 percent of respondents) shared that they have no control over what components are being used in software development projects, and 65% cited a failure to maintain an inventory of components used in production applications.
The firm points out that just like operating systems and databases, open-source components represent a "potentially rich attack vector" for hackers to exploit given their commonality across organizations and applications. So much so that for the first time the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top Ten list includes "using components with known vulnerabilities" as a top threat to application security at #9.
No surprise then that Sonatype is ready to spin these "findings" out as a prelude to the introduction of tools to service a new software supply chain with a new approach to application security. Or to put it in the firm's own words, "[We need a software chain that is] developer friendly and continuous to keep pace with Agile practices and address ongoing threats in real-time. Sonatype announces today the launch of Sonatype CLM, the first and only solution to secure the entire component lifecycle and the first comprehensive solution that directly addresses OWASP A9."
