Golf: Two big-time tournaments come to Utah courses this week
"The talent level at this year's tournament is phenomenal," said Smith. "Nearly all of the top players on the Web.com Tour will be here, including past champions of our event, as well as a number of players who have played on the PGA Tour. Fans will be treated to some great golf."
The Utah Championship recently awarded its four sponsors exemptions to former PGA regulars Bob May and Jason Schultz, recent TCU grad Travis Woolf and Corbin Mills, who won last year's U.S. Public Links tournament.
Three Utah pros — Pete Stone, Dustin Volk and Shawn Edwards — have qualified through the PGA Section and other local golfers will have a chance to qualify at the qualifying tournament Monday at Glen Eagle Golf Course, where 14 spots will be available.

I'm trying to change a core function named "image_resize", around line 333 in /wp-includes/media.php with my own function, and although i can do it directly, i would like to do it using a filter.
I need to generate thumbnails with the exact size defined on wp-admin, (120x90), BUT those images must be proportional, cannot be cropped and have the exact size of 120x90. So the solution is to add margins to it.
I have done this by just editing the source on /wp-includes/media.php (and it works fine), however I would like to use add_filter instead of code editing.
So I created a function with the changes i need inside functions.php and added:
function crop_me {
//my code here
add_filter('image_resize', 'crop_me');
Now my problem is, that it doesn't work this way...
When I try to upload images, the thumbnail keeps being cropped, so this function is not overwriting the core function.
Can anyone point me a solution to replace that function with my own code?

Hi there, great plugin!
Just quickly how can I get it to work with Custom post types?
The existing code i think I need to change is:
/* Prints the box content */ function romeluv_maps_inner_custom_box() { global
$post; // Use nonce for verification wp_nonce_field( plugin_basename( __FILE__
), 'romeluv_maps_noncename' );
How can I change the: { global
to include a custom post type called 'portfolio1' for example?
Many thanks!

text: Careers and Employment Outlook Employment change. Overall employment of advertising, marketing, promotions, public relations, and sales managers is expected to increase by 13 percent through 2018. Job growth will be spurred by competition for a growing number of goods and services, both foreign and domestic, and the need to make one's product or service stand out in the crowd. In addition, as the influence of traditional advertising in newspapers, radio, and network television wanes, marketing professionals are being asked to develop new and different ways to advertise and promote products and services to better reach potential customers. Sales and marketing managers and their departments constitute some of the most important personnel in an organization and are less subject to downsizing or outsourcing than are other types of managers, except in the case of companies that are consolidating. Employment of these managers, therefore, will vary primarily on the basis of the growth or contraction in the industries that employ them. For example, if, as is expected, the number of automobile dealers declines over the next decade, these major employers of sales managers will need fewer of them. Employment of marketing managers will grow about as fast as average at 12 percent between 2008 and 2018, and that of sales managers will grow faster than average at 15 percent over the same period. Advertising and promotions managers are expected to experience little or no change in employment from 2008 to 2018. Despite large declines in the number of advertising managers in recent years, due mainly to the sharp reduction in the number of advertising agencies and newspaper and periodical publishers, which employ the greatest numbers of these managers, advertising and promotions managers are not expected to experience similar declines in the future. Because advertising is the primary source of revenue for most media, advertising departments are less affected in a downturn. An expected increase in the number of television and radio stations and a sharp increase in the amount of advertising in digital media, such as the Internet and wireless devices will generate a need for advertising managers to oversee new and innovative advertising programs. A number of these advertising managers will be self-employed. Public relations managers are expected to see an increase in employment of 13 percent between 2008 and 2018, which is about as fast as average for all occupations, as organizations increasingly emphasize community outreach and customer relations as a way to enhance their reputation and visibility. Especially among the growing number of nonprofit organizations, such as education services, business and professional associations, and hospitals, where many of these workers are employed, public relations managers will be charged with promoting the mission of the organization and encouraging membership or use of the organization's services. Job prospects. Most job openings for this occupation will be due to the need to replace workers who leave the occupation or retire. However, advertising, marketing, promotions, public relations, and sales manager jobs are highly coveted and are often sought by other managers or highly experienced professionals, resulting in keen competition. College graduates with related experience, a high level of creativity, and strong communication and computer skills should have the best job opportunities. In particular, employers will seek those who have the skills to conduct new types of advertising, marketing, promotions, public relations, and sales campaigns involving new media, particularly the Internet.

D van Tornhout (84)
Scot League Cup Group F 3:00pm Sunday 18th March Celtic Park (Att: 49572)
Last Updated: 18/03/12 5:03pm
Big, big decision as the referee opts to book Stokes for diving inside the penalty area. The Irish international is livid, he's sure he's been tripped! Stokes goes into the book for simulation.
Forrest is back on but severely limited as his hobbles around. Four minutes will be added for Celtic to take this into extra-time.
Samaras strikes a text-book volley on target but Bell denies him, and produces another save from the follow up. Whatever happens now, the Killie keeper has been the man of the match.
Celtic have just make their final change and Forrest looks in real pain. The Bhoys are a goal down and a man down with three minutes of normal time remaining.
Celtic act promptly, taking off Ledley for Commons. Meanwhile, Sissoko is replaced by Kroca for Killie.
Blimey, who'd have thought it before this game? Killie are five minutes from winning the League Cup if they can hang on here, thanks to a bullet header from substitute Van Tornhout.
Stokes strikes it into the wall once more and shows his frustration. Meanwhile, Killie break but Celtic get back in huge numbers to win back possession. Fantastic stuff this!
Mulgrew, not for the first time today, streams through the Killie defence on a mission to score, but his last touch lets him down and he overruns the play.
Hooper didn't have the best of days, really, which may have stemmed from that early miss when gifted a sitter.
Forster comes way off his line to claim a high ball, and bundles through Nelson in the process. Play is halted for a moment as he receives treatment.
Forster fumbles a near-post shot and Killie have a corner, suddenly the underdogs are full of life again.
Kelly chests and strikes the ball on the half-volley, but he cuts across it and can only watch as it glides high and wide. Decent effort, though.
Celtic have raised the level a little bit over the past few minutes, can Killie keep them out or perhaps even hit them on the break? We've just 18 minutes left of normal time.
Mulgrew's corner is met well by Wanyama but Bell, once again, will not be beaten easily and tips over for another Celtic corner.
Mulgrew, for me Celtic's best player today, feeds Ledley, who's control lets him down inside the box. He's another who ha't had the best of days.
Shiels fails to control when having the upper hand over Celtic's centre-backs. It ha't happened for the Northern Ireland international today.
Celtic are getting closer and it's Stokes this time who is foiled by Bell, who is now sporting a peaked cap to block the Glasglow sunlight.
Ledley receives the ball with his back to goal, swivels and screws his shot two-foot wide of goal. It was an opening, and he could have taken it with less urgency.
Sissoko nods wide on the turn when unmarked, he should have done better in all honesty. Another chance wasted by Killie.
Stokes fires directly into the wall and claims, rather tamely, for another handball to cover his embarrassment.
Mulgrew drives forward, drawing a handball from Fowler, and Stokes is eying up a shot from the 25-yard free-kick.
Celtic start with real intent and Forrest charges into the area but takes a heavy touch before cutting back into the waiting arms of Bell.
The sides are out for the restart. Let me know your thoughts throughout the second-half by e-mailing email@example.com or Tweet me @caseyja here.
So, chances at either end in a genuinely open first half. Celtic have come the closer, but Cameron Bell has been in inspired form for Killie. Forster ha't been bad either, let's hope for more of the same in the second-half.
Half-time at Hampden Park, where it's been an entertaining yet goalless first-half in the Scottish League Cup final.
Big chance for Killie as Matthews loses possession in front of goal, it eventually comes through to Heffernan, but he's closed down by the quick-thinking Forster.
Celtic are finishing the half the strong - Killie will take the whistle now, but they've been impressive.
Harkins picks out Shiels with a pinpoint pass from the flank, but Matthews gets back well to make the challenge.
Brown produces what can only be described as a thunderbolt from 25-yards, with Bell producing another unbelievable save to tip over the powerful strike!
Celtic win another corner but Mulgrew's delivery is too deep this time and Celtic are forced away from goal, but still in possession.
Forrest comes close for Celtic with a beautifully bent effort, but Hooper throws himself at it and is subsequently flagged offside.
The delivery comes in and Sissoko meets it with a thumping header, which is cleared off the line by Stokes! We have quite a game on here folks.
Mulgrew's delivery is headed clear and Killie break, with Shiels forcing Forster into a low parry wide. Killie have another corner.
Celtic are encouraged by that chance if nothing else, back they come with another wave of attacks...
Brilliant play all around almost creates the opening goal - Brown creates space for a cross after some fantastic footwork, his delivery is just as good, and Stokes meets it with a text-book header, only to be denied by Bell, who is at full stretch in getting one hand to it.
Stokes holds on to possession with excellent balance, but eventually loses out without spotting the free run of Hooper to his right.
Sissoko does well to prevent a Celtic corner, he shows no signs of a dip in confidence after that early blunder, which went unpunished.
Shiels goes agonisingly close for Killie, dragging a 20-yard effort just wide of the far post with Forster rooted to the spot!
Buijs picked up a knock during those back-to-back corners of Killie's, and is unable to continue, with Chris Johnston his replacement.
Celtic are a little rattled by this Killie spell, with Neil Lennon ordering restructures from the bench.
Shiels whips in a fantastic delivery, but it's just too high for Sissoko. Rogne got the last touch, and Killie have another corner on the opposite flank.
Harkins finds room on the flank and pulls back towards Heffernana in the centre, but Rogne puts the ball behind for Killie's first corner of the game.
Killie are slowly regaining their confidence after some early jitters, building from the back with patience.
Shiels streams forward in a Killie counter,, but his charge is brought to a halt by Mulgrew, who has impressed in the opening stages.
Ten minutes have passed and the big moment of the game was Hooper chance from Sissoko's mishap. You could argue that the Celtic striker was even more casual with his finish than the Killie defender was with his pass.
Shiels takes on the Celtic defence but perhaps picks the wrong option in looking for Heffernan. Celtic regain possession from the loose ball.
Celtic win another corner and Mulgrew delivers towards Wanyama, whose downward header is scrambled clear.
Stokes finds room for a cross on the edge of the box, but Killie are positioned well in the centre to deal with the threat.
'Important game for both sides. Im sure the Bhoys will win and get one step closer to complete the treble!!! C'mon Celtic!!!' Says Balint from Ireland.
Brown strides forward with superb determination, but he's forced to settle for a corner. It's the first of the game.
Almost a disaster for Killie as Sissoko is too casual, having his pass intercepted by Hooper right in front of goal, but Bell is off his line sharp to deny the striker!
Fowler lofts a pass through towards Heffernan but Rogne fends off the challenge, allowing Forster to collect.
Celtic gain possession for the first time and Brown tries to stamp his authority with a powerful drive from around 30 yards, which bends high and wide.
Stokes and Hooper have 40 goals between them this season, can Killie keep out Celtic's prolific frontline?
The sides are making their way out on to the field for the pre-match formalities. Both are wearing their away kits. Celtic in white, Killie in yellow.
So, Heffernan makes the starting line-up for Killie, but there's only a place on the bench for Celtic's Ki. What do you make of the line-up? Let me know by e-mailing email@example.com or Tweet me @caseyja here.
Celtic: Forster, Matthews, Rogne, Kelvin Wilson, Mulgrew, Forrest, Brown, Wanyama, Ledley, Hooper, Stokes. Subs: Zaluska, Samaras, Cha, Commons, Ki.
Kilmarnock: Bell, Fowler, Sissoko, Nelson, Gordon, Kelly, Buijs, Harkins, Hay, Shiels, Heffernan. Subs: Letheren, Dayton, Kroca, Johnston, Van Tornhout.
Of course, Celtic beat Killie in the Scottish League Cup final 11 years ago, with Henrik Larsson scoring a hat-trick that day. It was Neil Lennon's first trophy as a Celtic player.
While we wait for the team news to drop, why not eye up Sky Bet's odds ahead of kick-off? The Bhoys are, of course, clear favourites at 2/7. But you can back a draw at 4/1 while Killie are a long 10-1 shot.

When Crencencio Ramirez made his debut for the Perryton Rangers, Coach Gary Newcomb did not know what to think. Once Ramirez started playing, Newcomb counted his blessings.
Ramirez, an undersized linebacker, has emerged as one of the leaders of the Rangers. He might be small, but he carries a big punch.
Normally, Perryton returns a wealth of linemen, but 2000 will be different. The Rangers must find some sophomores who can step into the void.
Perryton returns three players on the line who saw some time last season - sophomore Tyler Merkel, senior David Hernandez and senior Jason Dear.
On the bright side, Perryton brings back Matt Appelhans, who gained 550 yards and scored three touchdowns as a sophomore in 1999. He will take over one of the running back slots.
Head coach: Gary Newcomb, third season at Perryton, 13-9; seventh season overall, 30-30-1l.
Nickname: Rangers.
1999 Record: 6-5 overall, including 4-1 in 1-3A. Lost 50-9 to Muleshoe in 3A Division I bi-district.
Returning experience: 13 lettermen, including five offensive and five defensive starters.
Players to watch: Matt Appelhans, RB/DB; Cody Merrell, RB/DB; Cuyler Dear, QB/DB; Crencencio (Junior) Ramirez, LB; Tyler Merkel, OL/LB; David Hernandez, OL/DL.
Promising newcomers: Caleb Campbell, QB/DB; Brent Appelhans, WR/DB; Tyson Powell, WR/DB; Kendall Harris, OL/LB; Jessie Bilson, TE/LB.
Basic offense: Wing.
Basic defense: 26.
Playoff history: 1939 (regional champion), 1947 (regional champion), 1956, 1957, 1958, 1960, 1973, 1975, 1976 (semifinals), 1977 (quarterfinals), 1980, 1981, 1983, 1984, 1985 (regional), 1986, 1987, 1992, 1993 (quarterfinals), 1997 (regional), 1998 (Division I area), 1999.
"I was thinking 'Do we really need to take the chance of playing somebody that small at the linebacker position?' " Newcomb said. "But one thing he has is a lot of intelligence. He knows not to take on those big linemen. He uses his quickness and his intelligence to get around those guys. When you're his size, you need to have a willingness to work and he really did work hard."
Ramirez, who goes by Junior to his teammates and coaches, stands 5-foot-6 and weighs 140 pounds. The Perryton senior started last year and made 105 total tackles, including two sacks.
"I just try to get to the ball carrier and put him on the ground," Ramirez said. "People tell me I'm not big enough to play linebacker, but I don't believe that. I just try to work hard and improve the team. Size doesn't mean anything."
Ramirez broke into the starting lineup last season, but did not start making a major impact until District 1-3A play started. In district, Ramirez led the Rangers in tackles two or three games and made an interception. However the Rangers' season ended with a fizzle as Muleshoe hammered Perryton 50-9 in the Division I bi-district round.
"We're kind of hoping to change some attitudes around here," Ramirez said. "You get a lot of your ability from the mental game. I don't think my team came to that Muleshoe game ready to play. When you don't come ready to play, you get beat and that's what happened to us. Now we want to make sure we're ready to play, mentally, every game."
Ramirez has spent the spring and summer trying to improve his speed and strength. He has become one of the regulars in the weight room. When the season rolls around, Ramirez wants to make sure his squad is prepared.
"He is not really vocal, but he leads a lot by example," Newcomb said. "He comes in with an attitude that he's there to work and he's willing to do what it takes. That's a great inspiration for his teammates to see somebody his size working like that."
After high school, Ramirez would like to get a scholarship and play football. However, he knows that the odds are stacked against him. If he cannot gain some aid, he will join the Marines to save some money for college.

Childress fielded some awfully strong teams in the 1970s, none more so than the 1979 squad that rolled to a 13-1 record and came within one unlucky break of winning it all.
The 1979 Bobcats cruised undefeated through the regular season, then turned to some impressive second-half comebacks in the playoffs.
Childress' season ended with a 13-9 loss to Van in the semifinals when the Bobcats lost a fumble at the Vandal 1 with about a minute remaining in the game.
All-state quarterback Perry Morren led the Bobcats, passing for 1,854 yards and 29 touchdowns. Chris Imhoff and Timmy Dean anchored the line. David Tucker averaged 6 1/2 solo tackles a game as a defensive end.
As a team, Childress picked off 30 passes and outscored opponents 424-88 for the year. Thirty-seven of those points allowed came in a non-district win over Clarendon.
"The thing is we had great leadership and that the other thing I remember is we didn't have a lot of depth," Childress coach Charlie Johnston said. "We had some injuries and were pretty decimated by the end of the season. But we had a good amount of talent so we got through it."
Childress rolled through the regular season. But once the playoffs hit, the Bobcats became the cardiac kids. Childress beat Dalhart in the bi-district round when a roughing-the-kicker penalty wiped out a missed Childress field goal. The next play Morren hit Wade Anglin with a touchdown pass to give the Bobcats a 13-7 lead late in the fourth quarter in a game Childress eventually won, 19-7.
The Bobcats again struggled in the first half during the regional matchup with Muleshoe at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium. But the Bobcats' solid defense turned back three first-half penetrations without giving up a point.
Childress, behind Donald Sims' 118 rushing yards and two touchdown passes from Morren to Rodger Hughes blanked the Mules 20-0.
"We had a lot of weapons. We could throw the ball really well, and we had some good receivers," Johnston said. "We were able to make some good comebacks. But I always think of the one that got away."
A near disaster struck Childress in the week leading up to the Bobcats' quarterfinals game against Fabens in Odessa. Morren came down with the flu, running a 102-degree fever and he lost 11 pounds.
But the defense again came to the rescue. The Bobcats allowed only 56 yards and held possession for 20:01 in the second half to erase a 7-0 halftime deficit. Morren completed eight of nine passes and Sims ran for 164 yards as the Bobcats scored 19 unanswered points and won 19-7.
"Morren was a good leader on the field. He was a coach on the field," Johnston said. "He could see the whole field and he could pick out a receiver and get the ball to him."
Turnovers undid Childress in the semifinals against Van. The fifth and final miscue came inside the Vandals' 5 with a minute left. Van scored with 2:21 remaining in the game to take 13-9 lead. Morren then drove the Bobcats 43 yards in three plays. But Clifton Cornish lost the handle on the ball struggling for extra yardage near the 1. Van recovered to end Childress' playoff run.
2. 1954 Phillips Blackhawks
Christmas Day in 1954 would be the most memorable holiday of all time in Phillips, if the town still existed.
That day the Blackhawks capped off a 15-0 season and beat Killeen 21-13 for the Class 2A state championship in Wichita Falls.
Phillips put together one of the most awesome offensive machines in Panhandle history, particularly for that era. Chesty Walker's Blackhawks outscored opponents 462-71 in the regular season and gained more than 4,000 yards.
Don Meek carried the mail for the Blackhawks. The 155-pound halfback ran for more than 2,000 yards and scored 220 points. In the title game, he rushed for 205 yards and three touchdowns in the Blackhawks' victory over the 'Roos.
Jimmy Grey, Stan Wilder, Ben White and Jackie Webb rounded out the Blackhawks' potent backfield. However injuries cut down much of that backfield by the title game. The Blackhawks lost Meek, Webb and White in their 26-6 semifinal victory over Terrell. White broke his arm would not return for the balance of the season. Webb missed some time in the semifinal with bone chips and Meek twisted an ankle in a lunchroom accident but did not miss any games.
Phillips' first two playoff games in 1954 took place in dust storms. The Blackhawks blew past Floydada 32-13 at Floydada in bi-district. The following week at Jones Stadium in Lubbock, the Blackhawks clubbed Colorado City 34-21.
The dust worked in Phillips' favor in that game because the Wolves sported a high-powered passing attack which went nowhere in the 30 mph wind and dust.
Phillips crushed Littlefield and Milton "Rabbit" Vaughn 33-0 in the quarterfinals. The Blackhawks won their 13th game to set a school record. Webb scored five touchdowns - three rushing, two receiving - and ran for 122 yards.
With an injury-riddled backfield behind him, Wilder took the lead in the semifinal win over Terrell. Wilder passed for 132 yards and two touchdowns, including a 52-yarder to Tommy Newman. Meek's replacement in the backfield, Larry Lane, ran for 99 yards. Meek came off the bench to score a touchdown as the Blackhawks won 26-6.
Phillips never trailed in the championship game as Meek ran wild. The Blackhawks out-gained the Roos 283-220 in the 21-13 win.
Killeen threatened late, driving to the Phillips 12 with a minute left. But the Blackhawks' defense stuffed Killeen and Phillips won its only state football title.
3. 1976 Childress Bobcats
This edition of Johnston's Bobcats relied on a bruising running game to tear through the regular season undefeated and made the state title game.
Ricky Smith, a three-year starter, ran for 1,591 yards and scored 25 touchdowns while averaging 5.6 yards a carry. He graduated as Childress' all-time leading rusher with 3,936 yards.
However against Rockdale in the title game, Smith was slowed by injury and the Bobcats fell 23-6 at Texas Stadium. Childress ended the season 13-1.
Childress placed three players on the Globe-News Super Team - Smith, quarterback / punter Ricky Collingsworth and safety Rusty Riddell.
Riddell averaged 10 tackles a game, picked off three passes and recovered five fumbles. Collingsworth passed for 945 yards and 11 touchdowns and ran for 697 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Childress squeezed past Spearman 16-14 in bi-district at Pampa. The Bobcats scored two touchdowns and a pair of two-point conversions in the third quarter to go ahead.
In regionals, Childress bombed Floydada 34-13 in the freezing cold at Dick Bivins Stadium. The Whirlwinds led 7-6 before Smith got warmed up. Smith finished the game with four touchdowns and the Bobcats out-rushed Floydada 265-175.
The Bobcats needed some late magic to get past Ozona 20-14 in the quarterfinals. After losing three fumbles in the first half, the Bobcats took the lead in the fourth quarter.
An Ozona receiver fumbled, which Riddell recovered at the Lions' 30 with seven minutes left. Smith later scored to give the Bobcats the 20-14 lead. Smith turned in another crushing day in the backfield, running 32 times for 170 yards and two touchdowns.
As rough as the quarterfinal game was, the Bobcats' semifinal matchup with DeKalb turned into a breeze.
The Bobcats rolled 44-12 at Denton. Childress blew the game open with three touchdowns in the third quarter. Collingsworth passed for one touchdown and ran for two more. Smith ran for 122 yards and Mike Larned recovered a fumble in the end zone for Childress' first score.
Childress outgained DeKalb 335-202 and forced three turnovers. Much of DeKalb's yardage came late in the game against the Bobcats' reserves.
However Rockdale proved to be a different story as the bigger, stronger and faster Tigers were too much. Childress managed 54 yard of offense, including four yards in the first half.
Robert Luetge scampered 73 yards for a touchdown which sealed the Bobcats' fate.
4. 1967 Phillips Blackhawks
This team played Plano in the Class 2A semifinals. Talk about two towns heading in opposite directions.
By the end of the century Plano was a thriving suburb of Dallas with a population of almost 190,000. Phillips is essentially a ghost town with only about half a football stadium still standing.
In 1967, the Blackhawks' defense set the tone for a semifinals run as Phillips went 13-2.
In bi-district, the Blackhawks beat Iowa Park 16-10 at Borger. In the five games leading up to the playoffs, Iowa Park had beaten opponents by a combined 322-0.
But Phillips, led by Mark Hatley at running back, Mike Keller at quarterback and linemen Mike Malone and Craig Hunter sent the Hawks packing.
Against Denver City in the regionals, Keller led a defensive effort which forced four turnovers and limited the Mustangs to 150 yards. Keller intercepted Denver City's first pass of the game with seven minutes left to seal the win.
Phillips then beat Crane 21-3 in the quarterfinals at Lubbock. Hatley ran for 161 yards on 30 carries, including 118 yards in the first half. The Blackhawks outgained the Golden Cranes 308-214.
However the Blackhawks' season ended in the semifinals against Plano.
Phillips trailed 15-0 at halftime. The Blackhawks came back, but two interceptions helped do them in as the Wildcats won 15-13. Phillips had a chance to win late, advancing to the Wildcats 16. But a holding penalty pushed the Blackhawks back and a field goal attempt from the 38-yard line failed near the end of the game.
Hatley ran for 127 yards in the game.
5. 1974 Spearman Lynx
Blowout wins helped march this Greg Sherwood-coached squad through the playoffs. But the run ended in a blowout loss to Newton in the title game.
Donnie Davis ran for 1,629 yards and scored 28 touchdowns, while Roger Jones was a force on defense, averaging 26 tackles a game.
The Lynx could have been even more impressive, if fullback Kent Hargis had not missed almost all the regular season with injury.
He returned for the playoffs and gained 102 yards as the Lynx blew out Henrietta 50-19 in a bi-district game at Pampa. Davis led the way with 149 yards and three touchdowns.
Spearman played Olton at Dick Bivins Stadium in the regional round, winning 27-14. The Lynx led 20-6 at the half. Davis finished the game with 171 yards and three touchdowns.
The Alpine Bucks gave the Lynx problems in a quarterfinals game at Snyder. Spearman led 13-0 at halftime, but needed a Mike Tucker interception in the end zone with 2:35 left to win 13-7. Spearman turned the ball over five times in the game, but held Alpine which had averaged 400 yards a game to 164.
The Lynx used a 31-0 run in the third quarter to blow out Bowie 43-8 in the semifinals at Pampa. Hargis carried four times for 71 yards in the quarter. He finished with 134 yards. Davis ran for 137 yards and scored two touchdowns. Defensively, Jones picked off two passes and Don Cooper recovered two fumbles.
But in the finals, Newton clubbed the Lynx. Newton had shut out seven of its 13 opponents up to that time and did not let up.
Spearman trailed 42-7 at halftime and Newton finished the game with 472 yards. Davis gained 137 yards for Spearman.

AbstractOn today"s battlefields, vehicles are at risk of encountering improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Fortunately, not all of these result in complete vehicle loss. Sending a vehicle back to the depot for overhaul when it could have stayed in operation, wastes precious resources. Conversely, leaving a damaged vehicle in operation without some level of confidence that it can withstand a second blast places a higher risk on the soldier. As such, the Marine Corps needs a reliable tool that can gauge post-IED hull damage against standardized thresholds. Leveraging expertise in ballistic armor damage and structural response, Corvid Technologies proposes an approach to identify damage thresholds that require repair. We will then evaluate emerging and available technologies for use in aiding Battle Damage Assessment and Repair (BDAR). In Phase I, Corvid will design a toolset to provide standardized go or no-go BDAR decisions.

As much as I love a good comedy, drama, or action movie, I far prefer a good thriller and this one looks like a goodie. The film is called The Company You Keep and is directed by Robert Redford who is also one of the main characters. It's the first time he's showing his on and off screen talents in a movie since back in 2007 with Lions For Lambs.
The thriller centers on a former Weather Underground activist (Robert Redford) who goes on the run from a journalist (Shia Labeouf) who has discovered his identity. This all happens after Sharon Solarz (Susan Surandon) is arrested 30 years after a murder she committed as part of the activist group. This is probably one of the most high caliber ensemble casts for a thriller I've ever seen, with so many Academy Award winners and/or nominees making up the group.
Other cast members not yet mentioned include Julie Christie, Sam Elliott, Terrance Howard, Anna Kendrick, Stanley Tucci, Nick Nolte, Chris Cooper, Brit Marling, Brendan Gleeson, and more.

Comments about Cronert Slipper Socks:
I bought a second pair because I loved them so much. They're warm, but not bulky - best suited to cool temps.
Comments about Cronert Slipper Socks:
I bought these to wear in cold weather around my house. They were expensive but worth the price. They are thick and warm, keep their shape and don't fall down around my ankles. The non-skid pattern on the bottom of the socks works extremely well, which is important to me as I have hardwood floors. The socks also wash well.

A little extra warmth without bulk is perfect for the cold gym, but I'm finding that I love them as a sleeve extension under sweaters and thermals. If you don't know about arm warmers-- get educated!

Although I don't adhere strictly to a low carb diet, I do try and avoid carb overload. I also find that adding a week of low carb meals to my diet can help me break through plateaus or kick start weight loss after an indulgent weekend or vacation. However, like anyone living low carb, I crave my favorite carb laden products the minute I commit to low carb. We always want what we can't have, right? So when those cravings strike, these low carb muffins made with coconut flour are a great recipe to fulfill cravings. Coconut flour is low in carbohydrates but high in fiber and protein, which makes it a great baking alternative. If you can't find it in your local market, try Trader Joe's (it's only $2.99!) or Amazon. One quick note aboue these muffins. If you aren't used to low carb baking, the muffin texture is very different from a traditional muffin.

Human Matters: Being told to 'lie down'
I'm trying to enjoy my burrito supreme from Taco Bell while watching the back of Colin Kaepernick's jersey as he runs away from Green Bay Packers toward another back-breaking first down. This effort in contradiction makes me irritable, and my fit of pique spills out to my Aussie shepherd, Kelly the Wonder Dog.
Technically, Kelly is not doing anything wrong. She's just sitting, staring. Staring at me and my food. She doesn't whine, drool or even wag her tail. She just stares at me, ears cocked, body language frozen, as if to say, "Just on the off chance that you might suddenly be filled with charity and compassion for the peckish plight of your beloved, four-legged family members, I thought I'd sit here so you didn't have to call out for me or get up to find me."
I try to explain to Kelly she's from Australia, not Mexico. That Australians don't eat burritos. That she's way bigger and furrier and less bug-eyed and yappy and ADHD than a Chihuahua. (OK. I'm not a big Chihuahua fan.)
No go. Kelly continues her irritating, mendicant vigil. "Lie down," I bark, as the 49ers continue their inexorable dissection of my team's delusion of playoff prowess. Kelly begrudgingly lies down. She "walks" herself prone, the way a sullen child will goose step to his room when remanded there. It's an editorial. Both the child and the dog are obedient, but they let you know they shouldn't have to be obedient.
I make her lie down. A voice rises, unbidden in my mind: "I maketh her to lie down!" I smile, thinking of the 23rd Psalm of the Hebrew Bible: "He maketh me to lie down …" (vs. 2).
"You're not the only one, Kelly," I assure my dog-breath companion. "We're all regularly made to lie down."
It's kinda funny to think of it that way. God glancing over at me with exhausted patience, trying to eat his burrito and barking, "Steven! Lie down!" Funny, maybe, but real and true. I regularly need to be told to lie down. And, should I persist in disobedience, God sometimes maketh me to lie down. You, too. Everybody.
(A quick commercial break here for those readers who "aren't religious." Just replace "God" or "He" with "Life." As in, "Life maketh you to lie down." That way, you won't be excluded from the discussion I'm inviting.)
It occurs to me there are four essential ways we humans are invited — or remanded — to lie down:
Rest and recreation
Some personalities don't rest very well. Or very naturally. I'm one of those types. My brain and my body are restless. Ever searching and fidgeting.
Like most people, I confuse rest with indulgence and wasting time. But indulgence only appears to be restful. An afternoon of mindless channel surfing actually makes boredom and restlessness worse. Facebook isn't restful. Neither is texting, video poker, pornography or shoving a quart of ice cream in your face as an antidote for spiritual malnutrition.
I have to be reminded to "lie down." To rest through recreation. Real rest is recreation. Literally, re-creation. Play is restful. Humor is restful. Beating myself to death at the gym is, paradoxically, restful. Time with friends is restful. Art, nature, hobbies. Sleep is a good thing.
Injury or illness
Sometimes, the respiratory flu maketh me to lie down. In a few weeks, the doctor will scope the torn meniscus in my right knee. And he will then demandeth I lie down. And this shall irritateth me and lo, I shall be great with boredom. The limits and frailties of the human body regularly humble us. Slow us. Stop us. Sickness and injury can be, if we're willing, an important time to remember the limits of being human.
The contemplative life. Meditation. Pondering. Intentional breathing. Centering prayer. Flow. Surrender. All of these disciplines invite us to stillness. Most of what really matters about being human cannot be brought into focus and awareness without stillness. Stop pressing. Stop agitating. Stop talking. Stop thinking. Ignore what you're feeling. Be still.
Ah, yes. He will someday maketh me to lie down for real. Someday, I will lie down and not get back up again.
Maybe the first three examples are practice for the last. Maybe being more obedient to the discipline of rest, the humbling of illness or injury and the nurture of stillness could be thought of as a dress rehearsal for mortality.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
Following a student's protest over the contents of the graphic novels required by her English 250 class, Crafton Hills College President Cheryl A. Marshall has issued a statement saying the college will not ban any books or alter the content of the course.
I support the college's policy on academic freedom which requires an open learning environment at the college. Students have the opportunity to study controversial issues and arrive at their own conclusions and faculty are to support the student's right to freedom of inquiry. We want students to learn and grow from their college experiences; sometimes this involves reaffirming one's values while other times beliefs and perspectives change. In this specific case, the syllabus distributed on the first day of class contained the list of required reading materials allowing students the opportunity to research the books and make a choice about the class. The class is one of numerous electives available for completion of the English degree. We are attempting to avoid this situation in the future and Professor Bartlett has agreed to include a disclaimer on the syllabus in the future so students have a better understanding of the course content. I know he appreciated the differing views presented by Ms. Shultz in his class.
College student Tara Shultz is the latest in a long line of people to be shocked to find that Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi's graphic memoir about growing up during the Iranian revolution, contains violence.
A 20-year-old attending Crafton Hills College in Yucaipa, California, was so dismayed by the graphic content in four of the graphic novels required by her English 250 course — official description: "the study of the graphic novel as a viable medium of literature through readings, in-class discussion and analytical assignments" — that she and her parents are seeking to have them banned by the administration.
In addition to Persepolis, Shultz took exception to Alison Bechdel's Fun Home, the first volume of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's Y: The Last Man, and Neil Gaiman, Mike Dringenberg & Co.'s The Sandman: The Doll's House, due to the depictions of sex, violence and "obscenities."
"I didn't expect to open the book and see that graphic material within," she told the Redlands Daily Facts. "I expected Batman and Robin, not pornography."

The anthology is edited by IDW's Scott Dunbier.
"When it comes to doing the impossible, there's a dude who doesn't really recognize that 'impossible' exists. Ladies and gentlemen, there is only one Scott Dunbier.

The Evince document viewer
Evince is quickly becoming Gnome's standard viewer for PDF and other document formats.
Like other visions of the future, the paperless office is taking much longer than anyone expected. The heaps of paper on office desks just don't seem to get any smaller. On a brighter note, some books – especially technical documentation – are now available in electronic format, alternatively or exclusively, as the case may be. Documents in the Portable Document Format (PDF) [2], an Adobe [1] development, look the same no matter what operating system you use, and this means extending genuine cross-platform compatibility to document design.
In the world of Unix and Linux, other formats such as PostScript and DVI play important roles. There are any number of Linux-based document viewers. Gnome now includes Evince (Figure 1) [3], a useful all-rounder, as the standard viewer for these file types. Evince can also handle graphic formats such as TIFF and DjVu, which are typically the result of scanning text documents.

Encounters With Glaciers
By ERIC PFANNER
Published: January 20, 2002
IN the village of Saas-Fee, where the loftiest peaks in Switzerland block out the sun for much of the year, the industrious residents make the most of their seeming misfortune.
The glaciers inching their way down from 15,000-foot heights are packed with skiers, snowboarders and ice climbers. A cave carved into the permanent ice attracts droves of gawkers. Farther down, the forests teem with cross-country skiers, snowshoers and young thrill seekers on sleds. Outside town, ice rinks are crowded with would-be skating queens and older men wrapped up in curling matches.
Even the permanent winter glazing on the streets causes few traffic problems. Like nearby Zermatt, Saas-Fee is one of several environmentally conscious Swiss resorts that ban automobiles all year round.
In many ways, Saas-Fee lives in the shadow of Zermatt, the worldly village at the foot of the Matterhorn in the German-speaking part of the Wallis (Valais in French) region. But while Zermatt has a monopoly on the best views of the famous peak, Saas-Fee has plenty of advantages for a low-key winter break: a spectacular location of its own, loads of winter sports options, a good snow record and a less pretentious feel.
When I arrived last winter at the bus station on the edge of town -- end point for all internal-combustion engines -- for a week of skiing, I called the Hotel Tenne, where I had booked a room. Five minutes later the owner, Richard Berchtold-Bumann, showed up at the controls of his electro, an emission-less, golf-cart-like vehicle approved for use within the town limits. I dropped my skis in the back, joined him in the front and off we went. The electro, equipped with chains, sped through slick streets past UBS and Credit Suisse bank branches to the hotel, a modest-looking place with a traditional restaurant out front.
It was mid-December, early in the ski season, and the Berchtold-Bumanns were still putting the finishing touches on some newly renovated rooms, one of which I was lucky enough to get. Everything was about as impeccable as one would expect of a Swiss hotel -- the down comforters, the bathroom fixtures, the lighting. From the balcony, the view ranged from the cathedral-like spire of the Dom, the highest mountain standing entirely in Switzerland, to the chocolate-box architecture of Saas-Fee's wooden chalets and hotels.
Though Saas-Fee is one step down from the opulence of Swiss resorts like Zermatt or St. Moritz, it is second to none in providing an authentic village feel. The old buildings have been well preserved, and new construction is in the traditional style. The hillsides are dotted with tidy hay-storage huts, many dating from the 19th century; they sit on stilts to keep out the snow and unwelcome foragers. The air of continuity and calm seems to attract a crowd more interested in rest and relaxation than in rollicking night life.
Convenience, too, is high on the agenda. The best thing about the Hotel Tenne may have been its slopeside ski shed, to which Mr. Berchtold-Bumann drove me after I had unpacked my bags. Depositing my skis and boots there saved me from having to make the 10-minute walk from the hotel to the lifts in my ski boots each morning.
That way I was able to get a jump on the skiing. After a good night's sleep -- car-free villages cause few disturbances even to a light sleeper -- I headed for the lifts at the edge of town. A giant aerial tramway whisked me over a few wooded patches to the open slopes above the timberline, ending at a rocky outcrop, the Felskinn, at nearly 10,000 feet.
From there I had the choice of skiing down long intermediate slopes back to the village or continuing up the mountain on an underground funicular. This is the type of lift that caught fire on an Austrian mountainside a few years ago, killing 155 people. Saas-Fee tourism officials assured me that after the Austrian disaster they had conducted extensive tests and found their funicular safe. I noted the prominent no-smoking signs and the newly installed fire extinguishers and decided to get in despite the mild claustrophobia I felt in the tunnel.
The trip passed without incident, the funicular boring deep into the mountain and emerging at close to 12,000 feet. Here, feeling a bit lightheaded from the altitude, I stopped for a coffee in what Saas-Fee bills as the ''world's highest revolving restaurant.'' The views were remarkable: the village's toy houses far below, the giant glacial seracs and crevasses at eye level, the vast expanse of the Bernese and Italian Alps on opposite horizons.
Until the turn of the century, when the nearby Simplon tunnel and the great mountain railway lines of Switzerland were built, this was one of the most remote regions of Europe; now it is a three-hour trip from Zurich or Milan. Saas-Fee sits just across the German side of Switzerland's so-called rösti gap (the German speakers to its east consider the crusty potato dish the national specialty; the French speakers to the west turn up their noses at it).

We had read all the good references, but nothing prepares you to the kindness of Mohammed and the rest of the team. The riad is simply beautiful, our room fresh, spacious, with great details and the beauty of the moroccan deco. The spaces cute, terraces with hammocks and fans, straw hats and shadows, cushions and the small swimmingpool to chill out. The breakfast perfect with the best of west and east, detailed and served when and whereever you want.

Mo'Ne Davis Signed Ball Sells for Over $500
In case you were wondering when Little League Baseball would get completely out of control, I'm here to tell you that it just did.
The Mo'Ne Davis story is a great one. She's a 13-year-old from Philadelphia, and only the 18th girl to ever play in the Little League World Series. And this year, she happens to be the best player in the Little League World Series. She has instantly put herself in a position to become a role model for girls everywhere, was the first Little Leaguer to get the cover of Sports Illustrated, and watching her pitch has truly been a lot of fun.
So, what do you do when someone like Mo'Ne Davis comes along? You get her to sign a ball and start a bidding war on Ebay!
I hope you have insurance on your computer or smart phone, because there's no doubt in my mind that you either spit coffee all over the screen or threw up when you saw that this ball wound up selling for $510 (plus shipping).
Or maybe you didn't. Maybe this was just purchased by someone that's clairvoyant, with a ton of disposable income, who knows that Mo'Ne is going to become the first female Yankee. Or maybe, I'm just bummed out because in order for my autograph to become worth that much money, I'd have to sign a Louis Vuitton purse. Either way, it's pretty wild. A couple of other thoughts on this.
1. Are there fake Mo'Ne Davis autographs out there? That would be next level crazy.
2. Did someone remember to give Danny Almonte a hug today? Poor guy. Mo'Ne Davis balls are going for hundreds of dollars on Ebay, and he's still doing the occasional interview on his birth certificate.
3. There are MLB players that can't get this much money for their autograph. Actually MOST can't get $500 dollars for a signed ball.
So crazy. Next time Mo'Ne pitches, get your whole crew together, watch her tear it up, and keep a sharp eye on Ebay in case any more must-have Little League World Series memorabilia pops up.
How much would you pay for a Mo'Ne Davis signed ball? Weigh in on Twitter and follow us @Fanduel. Also, don't forgets to signup at fanduel.com to play in one-week fantasy football leagues for real cash!
