Alexis-Armand Charost (14 November 1860 – 7 November 1930) was a French cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Archbishop of Rennes from 1921 until his death, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1922.

Biography
Alexis Charost was born in Le Mans, and studied at the seminary in Le Mans, Pontifical French Seminary in Rome, and Catholic University of Angers. He was ordained to the priesthood on 19 May 1883, and then taught at the collège Sainte-Croix of Le Mans until 1892. Charost served as director of the Internship of Notre Dame de la Couture in Le Mans from 1892 to 1894, whence he became secretary to Archbishop Guillaume Labouré. He was later made titular canon of the cathedral chapter of Rennes in 1899, and vicar general and director of secondary studies of the same in 1909.

On 14 February 1913, Charost was appointed auxiliary bishop of Cambrai and titular bishop of Milopotamus by Pope Pius X. He received his episcopal consecration on the following 13 May from Archbishop Auguste Dubourg, with Bishops François-Marie-Joseph Delamaire and Olivier de Durfort de Civbac serving as co-consecrators, in the metropolitan cathedral of Rennes.

Charost was later named the first Bishop of Lille on 21 November of that same year, and served as acting chancellor of Lille Catholic University in 1915, rising to become full chancellor in 1919. During World War I, he encouraged the Catholics under his jurisdiction to practice passive resistance against the German Empire, who had occupied Lille; the bishop also protested the Germans' actions to Cardinal Felix von Hartmann. On 15 June 1920, he was promoted to coadjutor archbishop of Rennes and titular archbishop of Chersonesus in Zechia. Charost later succeeded Cardinal Dubourg as Archbishop of Rennes upon the latter's death on 22 September 1921.

Pope Pius XI created him cardinal priest of S. Maria della Vittoria in the consistory of 11 December 1922. Charost served as papal legate to the centennial celebrations in honor of Cardinal Charles Lavigerie in Algiers on 25 August 1925, to the fiftieth anniversary of the Université catholique de Lille on 14 March 1927, and to the celebrations in honor of St. Thérèse de Lisieux in Lisieux on 15 September 1929.

The cardinal died in Rennes, at age 69. He is buried in the Cathedral of Rennes.

The 1975 San Diego Chargers season was the franchise's sixth season in the National Football League (NFL), and its 16th overall. The team were seeking to improve on their 5–9 record in 1974, but they lost their first eleven games amidst attendances under 30,000. The team were also beset with considerable off-field problems, as several regular players wanted to leave and the franchise knew it would not get the first choice in the 1976 draft due to the expansion Seahawks and Buccaneers.

By the beginning of December, the prospect of the first winless and tieless season since World War II loomed, and led to serious discussion of the Chargers’ plight in the press. San Diego eventually finished 2–12, tying the New Orleans Saints for the NFL's worst record. The team suffered badly from injuries, most critically running back Don Woods, who had been AFC Rookie of the Year in 1974, but played only the first four games in this season. Quarterback Dan Fouts had a difficult campaign, throwing only two touchdowns in nine starts. 1975 would remain as the Chargers’ poorest record until they went 1–15 in 2000.

More positively, the Chargers draft class of 1975 proved to be a success, with ESPN naming it the franchise's best in a 2009 article. Defensive linemen Gary Johnson, Louie Kelcher and Fred Dean would go on to form three quarters of San Diego's Bruise Brothers unit, with each of the three being named a 1st team All-Pro by the Associated Press at least once during their careers. Other selections included defensive backs Mike Williams and Mike Fuller, and tackle Billy Shields, each of whom would start at least 70 games for the Chargers.

Offseason

NFL Draft

While Harland Svare was the Chargers' general manager in 1975, head coach Tommy Prothro is credited as the primary decision-maker when it came to the draft. His first selection was Gary "Big Hands" Johnson, a defensive tackle whose pass rushing appealed to Prothro. Johnson would miss only a single game during nine seasons in San Diego, starting the vast majority and accumulating  sacks; he made four Pro Bowls, was an Associated Press 1st Team All-Pro twice, and was inducted into the Chargers Hall of Fame in 1999.

San Diego had a further 1st-round pick, as part of the trade that sent Duane Thomas to Washington. With this, they selected cornerback Mike Williams ("as good a coverer as I have ever seen" - Prothro). Williams started every game during his rookie year, and went on to intercept 24 passes in eight seasons with the team.

In the 2nd round, the Chargers again had an extra pick, acquired in the 1973 trade of Bob Babich to Cleveland. This was used to draft Louie Kelcher, a defensive tackle noted for his strength. As a rookie, Kelcher was inserted into a starting role which he retained, when injury-free, for the bulk of his nine years in San Diego. He would be credited with 40 sacks during his career, appear in three Pro Bowls and be a 1st Team All-Pro once. In 2003, Kelcher was inducted into the Charger Hall of Fame.

With their following pick (their fourth selection out of the top 33 overall in that year's draft), San Diego selected a third defensive lineman in tackle Fred Dean. Prothro praised Dean's speed and intensity, and indicated that he would be switched to linebacker. In the event, Dean played at defensive end throughout his professional career, which was split between San Diego (6 seasons) and San Francisco (5 seasons). Dean, another rookie who would be speedily inserted into the Chargers' defensive line-up, recorded 52 of his 92 career sacks in San Diego, while making two of his four Pro Bowl appearances and being granted the first of his two 1st Team All-Pro selections. Dean was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2008; later that year, he became the third member of the Chargers' class of 1975 to be added to their own Hall of Fame.

The Chargers acquired other future starters in the later rounds. 3rd-round pick Mike Fuller had some success as a kick returner in his rookie season, and also saw action as a strong safety. He started all but one game at that position from 1976 to 1979, and spent six years with the team in total. San Diego's first seven picks were all spent on defensive players, but they picked up a key offensive lineman in 6th-rounder Billy Shields. The 6 foot 8 inch tackle made only occasional appearances as a rookie, but started 116 out of possible 117 games through the next eight seasons. Another offensive lineman, Ralph Perretta, became the team's long snapper during a six-year career, and served as the starting center in 1977. Running back Rickey Young spent the first three of his nine years in the league in San Diego, rushing and receiving for close to 3,000 yards and scoring 15 touchdowns as a Charger.

Departures

A number of veterans left the Chargers during the offseason. Carl Mauck had started 54 games at center out of a possible 56 during four seasons in San Diego, but was traded to the Oilers for two other players. Cornerback Bob Howard had been with the team for twice as long, playing in 102 games and starting 85 through 8 seasons. He was traded to the Patriots for a 1976 5th-round draft choice, which they would spend on Woodrow Lowe.

Other former starters to be traded included running back Cid Edwards and Jerry LeVias (for draft choices), and defensive end Pete Lazetich (for another player), while wide receiver Harrison Davis, tight end Wayne Stewart, linebacker Carl Gersbach and safety George Hoey were all cut or placed on waivers.

Arrivals

As well as their new draftees, San Diego also signed a handful of established veterans. Tight end Pat Curran was obtained from the Rams in exchange for a draft pick, which proved to be the Chargers' 3rd round pick in 1977. Curran had been primarily used as a backup to Bob Klein (also a future Charger), making only nine catches in six seasons, while starting a single game. He played a much bigger role in the Chargers' passing game, catching 45 passes in his first season alone. The offensive line gained a new center in Ed Flanagan, who joined the team after earning four Pro Bowl appearances during a decade in Detroit Lions. In 1975, he started every game in San Diego. On defense, fourth-year linebacker Tom Graham was acquired, and started 28 games over the next three seasons.

Preseason

San Diego's offense struggled through much of the preseason, beginning with a shutout loss to the Bears. Dan Fouts led his offense 67 yards on their opening drive, reaching the Chicago 1 before a botched handoff between the quarterback and Bo Matthews resulted in a fumble Chicago recovered. Fouts stayed in the game for three quarters, but the Chargers had few threats after that. They ran their scoreless streak up to seven complete quarters in the next game, falling behind the Giants 17–0 before Don Woods managed a touchdown run on 4th and goal from the 1. The offense improved in San Diego's third and final home game of preseason, a 20–7 win over the 49ers. Fouts and rookie quarterback Neal Jeffrey combined for 253 passing yards, while throwing one touchdown pass each, to newly signed tight end Pat Curran and veteran wide receiver Gary Garrison.

Charger quarterbacks were sacked seven times in St. Louis, and they were again kept out of the end zone. Ray Wersching kicked three field goals, good for a 9–7 lead late in the game, but a Cardinal touchdown with 29 remaining provided the winning points. 1st-round draftee Gary Johnson scored on a fumble return against the Patriots; with Fouts having run for a touchdown earlier, the Chargers led 17–7, but New England responded with 24 unanswered points before a late touchdown pass from Virgil Carter to Garrison ended the scoring. Fouts struggled, completing 4 of 9 for 55 yards, with two interceptions. Finally, San Diego missed two good chances to take the lead in a scoreless first half against the Vikings, eventually breaking through in the 3rd quarter with a 28-yard touchdown from Jesse Freitas to Dwight McDonald. Minnesota levelled the scores, then Freitas threw an interception that was run back for a 14–7 Vikings advantage. The Chargers bounced back with a 71-yard touchdown drive, Rickey Young scoring with four seconds remaining to send the game into overtime, where there was no further scoring.

Carter, a World Football League player in 1974, had only joined the Chargers in August but was named the starter for their regular season opener.

Regular season

Overview

San Diego's offense struggled in 1975, getting shut out three times in their first six games and finishing the season ranked 25th for both points scored and yards gained in the 26-team NFL. An inability to sustain drives led them to run only 821 plays during the season, the fewest in the league (their opponents ran 1,022 plays against them). Neither Dan Fouts (9 starts) nor Jesse Freitas (4 starts) were able to spark the passing game - the Chargers had 1,610 passing yards and seven passing touchdowns, both second worst in the league. Fouts threw only two touchdowns against ten interceptions, but was still the top Charger by passer rating with 59.3 (the league average was 65.8). The offensive line struggled with pass protection, as Charger quarterbacks were sacked on a league high 12.9% of pass attempt.

Offseason acquisition Pat Curran was the leading receiver, his 45 receptions and 619 yards both ranking third in the league among tight ends. 10-year veteran Gary Garrison started every game at wide receiver, but managed barely 30 yards per game, his career low at that point; another wide receiver, Dwight McDonald, caught only 19 passes all year, but led the team with three receiving touchdowns. The running game was little-used (the third fewest carries in the league), and hampered by an injury to Don Woods, the previous season's Offensive Rookie of the Year. Woods played in only five games before a knee injury ended his season, gaining 317 yards; rookie Rickey Young was his primary replacement, finishing with a team-high 577 yards. Young scored five touchdowns rushing and one receiving, giving him twice as many as the next best Chargers.

The defensive unit performed somewhat better, ranking 20th by points allowed and 23rd by yardage (18th by yards per play). Rookies featured heavily, with Fred Dean, Louie Kelcher and Gary "Big Hands" Johnson all starting games on the line, while Mike Williams and Mike Fuller did the same in the backfield. Veteran Coy Bacon was credited with a team-high 10 sacks, while Dean had . Chris Fletcher led the team with six interceptions.

Kicker Ray Wersching made only half of his kicks (12 of 24), and Dennis Partee averaged 36.8 yards per punt - both ranked among the worst in the league statistically. Fuller handled punt and kick returns, ranking sixth in the league in the former category with 11.6 yards per return, with one touchdown. San Diego's coverage team struggled with opposing kickoff returns, giving up a league-high 27.5 yards per return.

Game summaries

Week 1: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

San Diego's season began badly, with a shutout defeat at home against the defending Super Bowl champions. Virgil Carter started the game, but could generate only three first downs in the Chargers' first four possessions, getting intercepted once. Pittsburgh, in the meantime, scored on each of their answering possessions to take a 20–0 lead late in the half. Carter was then pulled from the game, and did not play for the Chargers again. His replacement, Dan Fouts, led a 39-yard drive that reached the Pittsburgh 41, from where he was intercepted as the half ended.

That proved to be the Chargers' longest drive of the day, as well as their deepest penetration into Steeler territory. Pittsburgh added seventeen further points in the second half, while Jesse Freitas replaced Fouts and became the third San Diego quarterback to be intercepted on the day. The Steelers finished with a 443–146 advantage in total yardage.

Week 2: at Houston Oilers

San Diego were more competitive in their second game, but still lost by a comfortable margin. After falling behind to an early field goal, Fouts led a 10-play, 67-yard drive that Don Woods capped with a 4-yard touchdown run. The Oilers responded with a pair of 2nd-aurter touchdowns, before Ray Wersching, who had earlier been short from 53 yards out, made a 29-yard field goal to reduce the deficit to 16–10 at halftime. Houston drove 83 yards to start the second half, extending their lead with a further touchdown, and missed field goals on their next two possessions. With Fouts unable to create scoring threats in response, he was replaced by Freitas late in the 3rd quarter. The first time Freitas dropped back to pass, he was sacked and fumbled, with Curley Culp returning the loose ball 38 yards for a touchdown. Freitas did manage a 30-yard touchdown pass to Dwight McDonald in response, but his tipped pass was intercepted in Oiler territory on the next Charger possession, and a late Houston field goal was the only scoring that followed.

Freitas was sacked on five of the thirteen occasions that he dropped back to pass; Fouts was also sacked once.

Week 3: vs. Oakland Raiders

A number of negative club records were set as San Diego were shut out for the second time in their opening three games. After both sides punted on their first two possessions, the Chargers had their best drive of the game; starting from their own 1, they gained three first downs and reached the Raider 37 when Fouts scrambled for 32 yards on 3rd and 6. A 14-yard sack pushed them back, however, and they were forced to punt again. The Chargers went three-and-out on six of their first seven possessions, a sequence broken when Fouts was intercepted shortly before halftime. Oakland's offense struggled as well, but did manage two field goal attempts by George Blanda in the 2nd quarter, one of which was successful.

Blanda missed his next try, on the opening possession of the second half. Fouts was soon intercepted again; there followed an exchange of punts, the latter of which was fumbled by Oakland's returner and recovered by Rickey Young at the Raider 48. Fouts ran for 5 yards on first down, but was sacked on the next two plays, and San Diego punted once more. After Blanda's second successful field goal midway through the final quarter made it 6–0, the Chargers gained a single first down before punting, and Oakland ran out the final four minutes of the game.

The six total points remain the lowest for a Charger game. Fouts completed 3 of 13 for 29 yards, while throwing two interceptions and being sacked five times for a loss of 51 yards. Club records set included fewest passing yards (minus 22, still a record), fewest first downs (5), fewest completions (3), and most punts (11).

Week 4: vs. Los Angeles Rams

A strong performance by Don Woods was wasted as the Chargers lost their first ever regular season overtime game. Don Goode's interception and 37-yard return gave San Diego an early chance to score; they reached a first and goal from the 3, but a holding penalty pushed them back, and eventually Wersching hit a goalpost with a field goal try from 38 yards out. In the 2nd quarter, Goode's third-down tackle at his own 2 forced the Rams to settle for a chip shot Tom Dempsey field goal. Wersching was later short from 42 yards, and Dempsey hit a goalpost from 57 yards out as Los Angeles ended the half 3–0 ahead.

Early in the 3rd quarter, Mike Fuller recovered a fumbled punt at the Ram 22, and the offense needed only two plays to capitalize: Gary Garrison's 15-yard catch was followed by Woods fighting through an attempted tackle for a 7-yard touchdown run. After forcing a three-and-out, the Chargers took over at their own 49, and picked up two first downs before Wersching converted a 36-yard field goal attempt. The Rams came back with a game-tying, 70-yard touchdown drive. They had a chance to take the lead on their next possession, but Dempsey was wide left from 41 yards out. Following an exchange of punts, San Diego missed an opportunity of their own. Woods had a 22-yard catch and a 13-yard rush on consecutive play, and Garrison's 13-yard catch on 3rd and 10 brought up a 1st and 10 from the Los Angeles 17. Tony Baker fumbled while trying to take Fouts's handoff on the next play, and the Rams recovered with nine minutes left in regulation.

These passed without major incident, and the game went into overtime. San Diego won the coin toss and elected to receive the kickoff - they picked up two first downs to reach the Los Angeles 42 yard line, but Fouts was sacked and they were forced to punt. The Rams then drove from their own 14 to the Charger 6, converting a pair of third downs along the way. From there, Dempsey's 22-yard field goal won the game.

Despite the narrow margin of this game, the Rams went on to finish the regular season with ten more wins than San Diego. Woods carried 24 times for 105 yards and a touchdown, while catching 6 passes for 57 yards; he accounted for 162 of his side's 272 total yards.

Week 5: vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Missed opportunities in the final quarter led to another low-scoring defeat for the Chargers. The Chiefs went three-and-out to start the game, and Mike Fuller's 29-yard punt return set the Chargers up at Kansas City's 15 yard line. The ensuing drive went four yards backwards, but Wersching was successful from 36 yard out. He missed from 49 yards later in the quarter, but his opposite number Jan Stenerud had a kick blocked by Danny Colbert soon afterwards, with Fuller returning the ball 23 yards to the Chiefs' 49. San Diego moved to the 30, helped by a Kansas City offsides penalty when the Chargers were punting on 4th and 1. However, Sam Scarber lost a fumble, and the Chiefs drove into range for Stenerud to tie the scores. Kansas City tight end Walter White was wide open on a 60-yard touchdown catch 53 seconds before halftime - the extra point was blocked by Maurice Tyler, and Kansas City led 9–3 at the interval.

With Fouts only able to muster 23 net passing yards in the first half, Freitas came in to replace him. On his first possession, San Diego drove to a first down inside the Chief 30, primarily using the run. Curran was then flagged for illegal use of hands, and Freitas threw two incompletions followed by an interception. On the next drive, a Stenerud kick was blocked for the second time by Colbert, with Fuller again recovering. Starting from midfield, the Chargers capitalized in full; Freitas completed a 14-yard pass to Young on 3rd and 12, then a 2-yard touchdown pass to Scarber. Wersching's extra point put San Diego up 10–9.

Kansas City responded with a 63-yard drive, capped by Stenerud's go-ahead field goal early in the final quarter. The Chargers had an opportunity to respond shortly afterwards: Dean recovered a fumble at the Kansas 25, the offense gained six yards from three plays, and Wersching was wide right from 36 yards out. Next, Fuller's 44-yard punt return set San Diego up at the Chief 36. Terry Owens was flagged for holding on first down before the Chargers recovered, with Joe Sweet's 16-yard catch on 3rd and 17 leaving them with a 4th and 1 at the Kansas City 27. Prothro opted to go for the first down rather than trying another field goal, and Young was stopped for no gain with 4:39 to play. The lone Charger possession after that was a three-and-out.

San Diego's quarterbacks combined for 93 yards passing, while being sacked five times for the loss of 32. Woods rushed 19 times for 72 yards, and caught 2 passes for 14 more, but also picked up an knee ligament injury and missed the rest of the season. It was to prove a career-changing injury for Woods, who had rushed for 100 yards or more on eight occasions in a 17-game career prior to it, but never did so again.

Week 6: at Oakland Raiders

San Diego trailed for over 59 minutes as they were shut out for the third time in six weeks, and for the second time by the Raiders. Freitas started at quarterback - he threw two incompletions to open the game, before being sacked for a 7-yard loss. Punter Dennis Partee then struggled to field a low snap, and was brought down in the end zone for a safety, 50 seconds into the game. San Diego went three-and-out on their next possession, before Tom Graham stopped a Raider threat with a goal line interception. Freitas was then pulled from the game - with Fouts out with an ankle sprain, Bobby Douglass was the replacement - the fourth quarterback the Chargers had used in 1975. His first possession under center ended in another three-and-out, and Oakland drove 60 yards for a touchdown and a 9–0 lead.

The Chargers had their longest drive in response, primarily using the run as they drove from their own 28 to the Raider 17. From there, Wersching missed a 34 yard field goal, and San Diego's best chance to score was gone. They crossed midfield four more times throughout the game, but each time the drive stalled and they were forced to punt. Oakland, meanwhile, scored touchdowns on their first two possessions of the second half to break the game open. Late in the game, Douglass was intercepted, and Freitas returned as quarterback. He was sacked for another safety on his first play, completing the scoring.

Freitas and Douglass combined for only 8 completions from 28 attempts for 58 yards, while being sacked twice each for a combined loss of 41 yards. This gave them 17 net yards passing; set again their minus 22 yards from the first Raider game, they finished with negative passing yards from the two games.

Week 7: at New York Giants

A greatly improved offensive performance was not enough to prevent the Chargers from arriving at the midway point of the season winless. The Giants struck first, converting a 4th and 1 en route to Joe Dawkins' 4-yard run. San Diego responded with a 7-play, 77-yard drive; Young gained 14 yards on a draw to reach Giants territory, then broke away over right tackle for a 48-yard touchdown two plays later. New York came straight back to lead again, Dawkins scoring from the 13 two plays after a 64-yard kickoff return.

The Chargers' next drive took considerably longer, covering 90 yards in 16 plays. Fouts, restored to the starting line-up, converted two third down with passes, and another with a 17-yard scramble up the middle, eventually scoring himself with a 1-yard sneak. New York made it five touchdowns in five possessions with a Craig Morton touchdown pass with three minutes remaining in the half. Fouts was intercepted on the next play, but Danny Colbert intercepted Morton in return, and the score was 21–14 at the break.

Five plays into the second half, the score was tied again. Fouts found Curran for a 24-yard gain, then followed that with a 30-yard touchdown pass to McDonald in the back of the end zone. Rookie Mike Williams later stopped a Giants threat with a fumble recovery, but Morton's second touchdown pass followed soon afterwards. Fouts completed passes to four different receivers in response, but the drive stalled inside the New York 10, and Wersching hit a 27-yard field goal. The Giants punted on their next possession, giving San Diego a chance to take the lead in the final ten minutes. They picked up one first down, but were soon forced to punt themselves. New York then drove 64 yards in 11 plays, putting the game away with a touchdown 1:56 from time.

Young rushed 15 times for 93 yards and a touchdown, while adding 1 catch for 11 yards. San Diego gained 167 passing yards and 182 rushing yards, both season highs to that point.

Week 8: vs. New England Patriots

San Diego's offensive improvement continued, but they again lost by over ten points. In the opening quarter, Wersching put his team ahead with a 41-yard field goal, the Patriots tied the score, and Wersching missed from 49 yards out. Sam Williams intercepted New England quarterback Steve Grogan soon afterwards, but only three plays later, long-time Charger Bob Howard intercepted Fouts in turn, returning the ball 44 yards for a touchdown. Fouts rebounded on the next drive, converting three third downs with passes, but San Diego settled for a Wersching field goal. Three sustained drives by New England then resulted in 13 unanswered points, and a 23–6 lead at halftime.

Gary Johnson recovered a fumble at the New England 10 early in the second half, but the Chargers could only capitalise with a field goal. Maurice Tyler prolonged the next Patriots drive with a holding penalty on a punt, and Grogan eventually stretched the lead to 21 points with a touchdown pass. San Diego were able to respond, with Joe Sweet's 52-yard catch taking them to the New England 11, before Garrison's touchdown catch on 4th and 7 from the 8. The Patriots added a field goal early in the final quarter. Fouts found Garrison with a 35 yard completion on the next play, and converted a 4th and 12 with a 26-yard pass to McDonald; San Diego got as far as the 2 yard line, but eventually had to settle for a field goal after Fouts was sacked on 3rd and goal. New England recovered an onside kick, but Fred Dean recovered a fumbled snap three plays later. Trailing by 14, Fouts completed four consecutive passes, moving the ball from his own 40 to the Patriots 8. Following a 3-yard run by Young and two incompletions, Fouts was sacked to end the threat with six minutes to play. Fouts was also intercepted on the lone Charger possession after that.

Fouts had the second 300-yard game of his career, completing 25 of 42 for 329 yards, 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. He was also sacked seven times for 50 yards. Garrison had the 23rd and final 100-yard game of his career, catching 7 passes for 108 yards and a touchdown. The Chargers were hampered by a club record-tying 14 penalties, for 120 yards.

Week 9: vs. Denver Broncos

A Chargers comeback attempt faltered in the latter stages as their winless start continued. Most of the opening quarter was taken up by two 13-play drives, as Denver went 72 yards for a touchdown with the opening kickoff, and San Diego responded by moving 68 yards before being stopped at the 5, with Fouts protesting that his third down incompletion should have drawn a flag for defensive holding. Following a Denver field goal, the Chargers reached a 4th and 1 at the Bronco 30. Bo Matthews' dive up the middle was ruled not to have gained a first down, and Prothro was flagged 15 yards for his protestations. Denver drove 55 yards the other way and extended their lead to 17–3 with another touchdown. In response, the Chargers drove from their own 28 to the Denver 42; Garrison then caught a pass at the 23, slipped under a tackle and reached the 2 yard line before being stopped. Matthews scored a play later. On the final play of the half, Mike Williams intercepted a pass at his own 26, and managed a 40-yard return before being tackled.

Three plays into the second half, Fouts threw a deep pass on 3rd and 8 that McDonald brought in for a gain of 57; three plays after that, Young went around right end for a 9-yard touchdown on 3rd and 8, tying the score at 17–17. After forcing a punt, they reached a 3rd and goal from the 7. Fouts completed a pass to Curran, who was driven out of bounds at the 1. Prothro opted to try for a touchdown, but Matthews was stuffed for no gain with five minutes left in the 3rd quarter. Denver then embarked on an 18-play, 99-yard touchdown drive, featuring four third down conversions and taking up nearly ten minutes of game time. After Fouts was intercepted on the next Chargers possessions, Denver added a field goal with four minutes to play, and San Diego failed to gain a first down on their final two possessions.

Fouts avoided taking a sack for the first time all season (although Douglass came in late in the game and was sacked twice).

Week 10: at Minnesota Vikings

For the second consecutive week, a goal line stand foiled the Chargers at a key moment. Minnesota, who entered the game unbeaten, took the opening kickoff and drove 80 yards in 10 plays for Chuck Foreman's touchdown run. San Diego, with Freitas in at quarterback, failed to gain a first down on their first three possessions, but Chris Fletcher intercepted Fran Tarkenton to help keep the deficit at just seven points after one quarter. After the Vikings missed a field goal, San Diego moved to the Minnesota 32, from where Freitas found Garrison at the goal line for a touchdown. The extra point attempt was almost ruined by a bad snap, but holder Mike Fuller improvised a pass to Curran, and the score was tied. The Chargers were close to midfield on their next drive when Young fumbled; Minnesota recovered and retook the lead at 14–7 on Tarkenton's touchdown pass with 31 seconds left in the half.

Mike Williams intercepted a tipped Tarkenton pass early in the second half, and Garrison appeared to have given his team a first down at the Viking 25, only for center Ed Flanagan to be flagged for holding. The Chargers were forced to punt, but Partee's 61-yard kick was downed at the 1 by Fuller. After forcing a three-and-out, San Diego took over on the Viking 23 following Fuller's 20-yard punt return, and soon reached a 1st and goal at the 1. The Chargers tried four consecutive rushes from there, but Minnesota stopped the first three for no gain and the fourth for the loss of a yard, after Young tripped over the legs of teammate Craig Cotton. Following an exchange of punt, Foreman scored his second touchdown. San Diego appeared to have closed to within a single score with five minutes to play, after a 2-play drive: McDonald had catches of 22 yards and 16 yards for a touchdown, either side of a 16-yard pass interference penalty. Wersching's extra point was blocked, however. Minnesota then recovered an onside kick, and Foreman added his third touchdown to make sure of the result.

Freitas completed 15 of 23 passes for 174 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception. This gave him a passer rating of 98.8, which would be the best of his two years in the league.

Week 11: at Denver Broncos

Despite a minimal contribution from their offense, San Diego took the Broncos into overtime before losing to become the fourth NFL team to start a season 0–11. The Broncos drove 70 yards with the opening kickoff, scoring the only offensive touchdown of the game. Denver reached a 2nd and goal at the 8 on their next possession, but Chris Fletcher intercepted a deflected Steve Ramsey pass in the end zone; Fletcher claimed a second interception on the next Bronco drive. The Chargers' offense was unable to convert these turnovers into any points, but their sceptical teams got them on the scoreboard soon afterwards, Fuller finding space down the left sideline on a punt return, then cutting inside to complete a 42-yard touchdown.

Fletcher intercepted Ramsey again three plays later; San Diego could only move the ball nine yards on three plays, but Wersching kicked a 34-yard field goal to take the lead at 10–7. Neither side crossed midfield in the remaining 7:41 of the first half. The Chargers led at halftime despite managing only 25 yards, and failing to register a single first down in six possessions (Denver had 155 yards and 12 first downs).

Denver switched quarterbacks for the second half, with John Hufnagel leading a game-tying field goal drive on his first drive. He also moved his team into Charger territory on his next possession, but was intercepted by Fuller. Shortly afterwards, Garrison gained 20 yards on a double reverse, picking up a first down - it was the Chargers' first of the game, and occurred on their ninth possession, after over 41 minutes of game time. They were forced to punt after three further plays.

Floyd Rice had the Charger' fifth interception soon afterwards. McDonald's 22-yard catch moved them into Denver territory, but they soon punted again. Late in regulation, Colbert intercepted Hufnagel, but Freitas was soon intercepted in turn; the quarterback made a tackle at his own 15. After two running plays, Broncos kicker Jim Turner came on for a 23-yard field goal, but Colbert blocked the attempt as time expired. Denver, however, won the overtime coin toss and moved into Charger territory when Fletcher was flagged for a 43-yard pass interference penalty. Soon afterwards, Turner won the game with a 25-yard field goal.

San Diego were outgained 336–123; Denver picked up 24 first downs to the Chargers' 3. Freitas failed to complete any of his final twelve passes - overall, he completed 8 of 24 passes for 72 yards and an interception, while the two Denver quarterbacks passed for 20 and 26 yards respectively, while throwing three interceptions each. The Broncos rushed for 328 yards, a new record for an opponent of the Chargers. San Diego became the first team in thirteen years to lose while intercepting at least six opposition passes. Fletcher's three interceptions gave him more catches than any offensive player from either team.

Week 12: at Kansas City Chiefs

The Chargers avoided a winless season with victory in Kansas City. They had an excellent start, with Floyd Rice recovering a fumble on the opening kickoff; Young scored from the 5 only three plays later. Fouts, back after injury, was intercepted near midfield on the next possession, setting up a short Chiefs field goal. Dean recovered a fumble on the following Kansas City drive, and a 23-yard Garrison catch helped the Chargers reach a 1st and 10 at the 12, but Matthews then fumbled the ball back to the opposition. Kansas City drove the other way for another close-range field goal, and San Diego led only 7–6 at halftime when Wersching missed a 30-yarder wide left, squandering a chance created by Curran's.

On the first possession of the second half, Curran caught a 28-yard pass to move the Chargers into opposition territory, and Sam Scarber ran through the right guard area to score from 8 yards out. Fouts, however, was intercepted on his next two pass attempts, setting up a pair of Chief touchdown drives of only 16 yards each. Down 20–14, Fouts came back with another 28-yard completion to Curran, and Young scored his second touchdown on 3rd and 1 from the 3, completing a 68-yard touchdown drive. After forcing a punt, the Chargers benefitted from a personal foul penalty, and started their next drive at the Kansas City 46. Their next seven plays were all runs, the last of these a third down, 9-yard Fouts scramble up the middle for a touchdown. The Chiefs had three more possessions, ending in a punt, Coy Bacon's 4th-down sack, and time expiring.

San Diego gained a season-high 412 yards while giving up a season-low 232. Curran had 3 catches for 95 yards, while Young rushed 25 times for 124 yards and two touchdowns.

Week 13: vs. New York Jets

San Diego gained their second consecutive win after leading for most of the game against the Jets. Playing before a national audience on Monday Night Football, the Chargers drove 68 yards in 8 plays with the opening kickoff, with Fouts scrambling for 20 yard on 3rd and 7, and finding Garrison for a 23-yard completion to the 4. Tony Baker rushed for a touchdown on the next play. Dennis Partee later had a punt blocked, giving the Jets possession near midfield, but Chris Fletcher intercepted the ball, and returned it out of the end zone for 45 yards. San Diego moved into field goal range, but Wersching was short from 46 yards out.

New York then drove to a 3rd and 1 at the Charger 2, but Don Goode stopped John Riggins for the loss of a yard, forcing the Jets to settle for a short field goal. Later in the half, a Charger drive was extended by penalty when a Jet ran into Partee after he had punted. That eventually led to Young's 2-yard touchdown run with 2:12 on the clock. Two Joe Namath completions swiftly moved New York into Charger territory, before Fuller was charged with a 20-yard pass interference penalty, placing the ball at the 1. From there, the Jets rushed three times for no gain, before giving the ball to Riggins on fourth down - he was stopped by Goode and Kelcher for the loss of a yard, and San Diego maintained a 14–3 lead at halftime.

Mike Williams intercepted Namath on the first play of the second half, eventually leading to a Wersching field goal attempt that was short from 49 yards. Namath then completed all four of his pass for 54 yards, on a 69-yard touchdown drive that pulled the Jets within four points. Fouts having been forced out of the game due to a concussion, Freitas came in on the next drive, passing only once as the Chargers moved from their own 26 to a 4th and 1 from the New York 10. Young, who had converted from the same down and distance with a 12-yard carry four plays earlier, was stopped for no gain. The Jets drove into field goal range, but a bad snap prevented them from getting the kick away. Wersching made a 45-yard kick shortly afterwards, and Fletcher intercepted a deep Namath pass at his own 20 with ten minutes to play. It was Fletcher's sixth interception in the last four games.

The Chargers then embarked on a 15-play, 80-yard drive that ran over seven minutes off the clock. Young had six carries for 59 yards, including a 22-yard run on 2nd and 17 on the second play. Freitas only completed one pass, an 18 yard connection with Curran on a 3rd and 16. Eventually, Matthews scored from a yard out to double the Chargers' lead. The Jets responded with a touchdown drive of their own, but it took them 16 plays to travel 53 yards, and time expired as Riggins scored. That prompted a pitch invasion, which led the officiating team to call an end to the match, without New York attempting an extra point.

San Diego attempted only 16 passes, but rushed 48 times for a season-high 249 yards and three touchdowns. Young led the team with 21 carries for 111 yards and a touchdown. This and the previous game would be the only 100-yard rushing performances of his career.

Week 14: at Cincinnati Bengals

San Diego ended their season as it had begun, with a one-sided loss to an AFC Central team. The Bengals led 20–0 before San Diego's offense had even taken the field, scoring a touchdown on the game's opening possession and then adding two more after Young and Fuller both fumbled on kickoff returns. When the Charger offense got their chance, they opened with two three-and-out possessions, both of which Cincinnati answered with further touchdowns, running the score up to 34–0 with less than twenty minutes played.

Wersching kicked a 43-yard field goal, and Freitas found Young for a touchdown shortly after Billy Andrews recovered a fumble. The Bengals responded to the mini-comeback with Ken Anderson's third touchdown pass, shortly before halftime. Anderson was rested for the second half, in which Rice and Mike Williams both recovered fumbles: the first led to a Matthews touchdown, but the offense went backwards after the second and Wersching missed a long field goal. A Bengals touchdown was the only score of the final quarter.

Mike Williams had both an interception and a fumble recovery. The Chargers were outgained 316–78 in the first half and 439–188 overall.

The Texas Instruments Business Analyst series is a product line of financial calculators introduced in 1976. BA calculators provide time value of money functions and are widely used in accounting and other financial applications. Though originally designed specifically for financial use, current models also include basic scientific calculator and statistics functions. The BA series competes directly with other mid- to high-end financial calculators, particularly the HP-12C and other models from TI competitor Hewlett-Packard. There are two models in the product line: the BA II Plus (originally introduced in 1991) and the BA II Plus Professional (introduced in 2004).

BA II Plus

The BA II Plus is the main financial calculator sold by Texas Instruments as of 2015. It provides basic scientific calculator functionality alongside its financial functions, and provides most of its financial functions in the form of worksheets, where values are input as variables in a table; when a computation is requested, the calculator plugs the values from the worksheet into the appropriate internal expression and returns the requested result. It has been available in three case designs, based respectively on 1989's TI-68, 1999's TI-30X IIS, and the 2013 revision of the TI-30Xa. It is permitted on several professional exams, including the international Chartered Financial Analyst exam. The 2014 revision includes larger display numbers, but the computation functions remain the same as previous models. It has not been made available in a solar-powered model.

The BA II Plus Professional is an upgrade to the base model introduced in 2004, including several additional worksheet functions such as net future value and modified internal rate of return.

Several companies, most notably Texas Instruments itself, have released emulators of the BA II Plus for various mobile operating systems. In addition, Stokes Publishing formerly sold The Educator Business, a calculator designed for use on overhead projectors that emulated the BA II Plus.

An app on the Apple App Store is also available by Texas Instruments mirroring the Calculators design and functionality.

BA-20 Profit Manager
From 1986 to sometime after 2010, TI produced the BA-20 (also known outside North America as the TI-620), which was a basic desktop calculator with the addition of dedicated cost, margin, and sell calculation buttons. Early models included a built-in clock module, which was removed for the 1998 revision. The short-lived TI-10 Profit Guide had similar functions in a pocket calculator size.

BA-35 Financial Calculator

The BA-35 was targeted at students studying finance and was available from 1985 to the late 2000s. Though it contained a full set of TVM functions, it lacked the advanced scientific calculator functions of later models of the BA II. It was the most affordable calculator for time-value-of-money calculations

Features:

 Preprogrammed financial and accounting functions, including time-value-of-money and compound interest calculations.
 Capability for recalling time-value-of-money values as well as annuity due operations.
 Amortization balance and payment-to-interest calculations.
 Annual Percentage Rate (APR) to Effective Rate (EFF) interest conversions.
 One-variable statistics with frequencies. Calculates mean, sample standard deviation, and population standard deviation.
 Cost-sell-margin and mark-up calculations.
 Easy to use payment and other time-value-of-money calculations make this a perfect calculator for real estate agents and management consultants.
 Solar-cell powered.

Cubagua Island or Isla de Cubagua () is the smallest and least populated of the three islands constituting the Venezuelan state of Nueva Esparta, after Margarita Island and Coche Island. It is located  north of the Araya Peninsula, the closest mainland area.

Geography

Topography
The island is  in size, an elliptical shape with the longer axis east-west. Its area is . The coast consists of some beaches as well as cliffs from  high in the south and from  high in the north. The highest elevation of the flat-topped island reaches .

Climate
It is dry and lacks surface water bodies (the only freshwater is found in small underground reservoirs). Annual precipitation is , which is the value of a dry desert. Temperatures are close to  year-round with little fluctuation.

Vegetation
The desert-like (xerophytic) vegetation of the essentially barren island includes a number of cactus species such as Cardón de Dato (Ritterocereus griseus), Buche, Melón de Cerro, Sabana o Monte (Melocactus caesius), Guamacho (Pereskia guamacho), and Opuntia tuna as well as a few legumes (family Fabaceae) such as Mesquite (Prosopis juliflora), Divi-divi (Caesalpinia coriaria), Poorman's Friend (Stylosanthes viscosa), and the Sangre Drago (Croton flavens).

Fauna
The island has small populations of hares, feral goats and a large population of dogs.

Transportation
The island of Cubagua has no streets or roads. It is served by ferries and other boats from Punta de Piedras, the capital of the municipality of Tubores located  to the northeast on Isla Margarita. The passage takes less than 2 hours. The boat landing pier is located at the eastern end of Playa Charagato, the main settlement of Cubagua.

A lighthouse marking Punta Charagato lies in the northeast to aid the Isla Margarita ferry and another lighthouse is situated at Punta Brasil in the northwest to aid the ferries of Punta de Piedras and Puerto la Cruz.

History
The first human settlement on Cubagua has been dated to 2325 BC, a time within the Meso-Indian Period (5000-1000 BC).

In 1498, Cubagua was sighted by Christopher Columbus along with Margarita island. Later in 1499 Spanish expeditions returned to exploit abundant pearl oysters, enslaving the indigenous people and harvesting the pearls intensively. They became one of the most valuable resources of the incipient Spanish Empire in the Americas between 1508 and 1531, by which time the local indigenous population and the pearl oysters had been devastated. In 1528, Cristóbal Guerra founded the city of Nueva Cádiz, the first settlement to hold the title of "city" in Venezuela. The city became a synonym for the suppression by the Hispanic Conquistadores in South America. Nueva Cádiz, which reached a population between 1,000 and 1,500, was destroyed in an earthquake followed by a tsunami in 1541. The ruins have been declared a National Monument of Venezuela in 1979.

Administration
Cubagua is part of the municipality of Tubores, one of 11 municipalities of the state of Nueva Esparta.

Population
Human activity dates from the 24th century BC, but the first people did not settle here in a permanent fashion. Instead the island was used as a source of oysters, for food, and for pearls. The lack of vegetation or fresh water made permanent settlement nearly impossible. Today the island still has temporary fisherman, but few to no permanent residents.

According to an unofficial population census conducted by the Instituto del Patrimonio Cultural in August 2007, the island had 51 residents of which 19 were children. The population resides in the following 4 communities in the island's northwest:

Playa Falucho
Playa Charagato (the largest settlement)
Punta Charagato
Punta la Cabecera (close to the ruins Nueva Cádiz)

In addition, on some maps a settlement called Punta Arenas appears in the Southwest. Satellite images reveal about 5 buildings at that site. A small settlement of about 4 buildings can be made out about midway between Punta La Horca (the westernmost point of Cubagua) and Punta Arenas south of Punta El Lamparo. A pair of buildings can be seen on the southern bay of Manglecito just east of Punta Manglecito.

The population exceeds 300 during the year when seasonal fishermen from the Venezuelan mainland state of Sucre are included.

In popular culture
In 2015, Venezuelan director Jorge Thielen Armand made a short documentary about the island of Cubagua, Flor de la Mar.

WWOD (93.9 FM) is an adult album alternative broadcasting radio station. Licensed to Woodstock, Vermont, United States, the station serves the Lebanon-Rutland-White River Junction area. Established in 1989 as WMXR, the station is owned by Great Eastern Radio, LLC.

History
93.9 FM was started on April 18, 1989, as WMXR by Rob and Shirley Wolf.  In its early years, the station broadcast an oldies format branded "Magic 94", which was expanded to WCFR-FM (93.5 FM, now WEEY) in 1998 after the Wolfs' acquisition of that station. WMXR also operated a translator in White River Junction, W232AP (94.3 FM); the three frequencies were billed as the Valley's "Superstation". The station subsequently evolved into one of the country's first classic hits station (programmed by KFRC's Chuck "Boom Boom" Canon) with all-digital studios and first-in-the nation internet streaming in 1995 via Dartmouth College. In April 2000, new owners Conn River Broadcasting switched the stations' format to country music as "Bob Country"; though it used the branding and "Turn your knob to Bob" slogan formerly used by WBOB-FM in Minneapolis–Saint Paul, the name was believed to be a reference to Bob Frisch, then-owner of competing country station WXXK (100.5 FM).

Clear Channel Communications bought WMXR and WCFR in 2001 and merged "Bob Country" with its existing country station in the market, WXXK, branded "Kixx".  After several months of simulcasting with WXXK, WMXR switched to a simulcast of WVRR's (101.7 FM, now WKKN at 101.9) classic rock format that October.  WMXR shifted to modern rock in late March 2002, though WVRR did not follow suit until early April.  Two years later, the stations (branded Rock 93.9 & 101.7) tweaked their format to mainstream rock with modest success.  Clear Channel sold its stations in the Lebanon, New Hampshire market to Great Eastern Radio in January 2007, who later that year switched WMXR to a news/talk format as "93.9 The Pulse", modeled on sister station WTPL in Hillsborough, New Hampshire.  This format was moved to and consolidated with a similar format on sister station WTSL (1400 AM) under the "Pulse" branding in May 2008, at which point WMXR adopted a classic hits format as "Maxx 93.9".  The station subsequently returned to classic rock, retaining the "Maxx" branding.

WMXR returned to a classic hits format on November 19, 2012, branded as "Kool 93.9 & 96.3"; the branding came in advance of adding a simulcast with WFYX (96.3 FM) in Walpole, New Hampshire, which Great Eastern Radio was in the process of acquiring from Nassau Broadcasting Partners. On November 30, WMXR changed its call letters to WWOD, swapping calls with then-silent 104.3 FM, which has since been moved to the Burlington, Vermont radio market.

On July 7, 2016, Dartmouth College announced that WWOD and WFYX would be the new carriers of Big Green men's and women's basketball broadcasts as part of the Big Green Sports Network / Learfield Sports.

On November 1, 2017, WWOD changed their format to adult album alternative, branded as "93.9 The River". "The River" had previously broadcast on W294AB (106.7 FM) and the second HD Radio subchannel of WHDQ (106.1 FM), where the format launched on March 14, 2014; the "Kool FM" programming, which by then had shifted to an oldies format provided by Scott Shannon's True Oldies Channel, concurrently moved to WHDQ-HD2 and W294AB and continues to be simulcast on WFYX.

WΔZ (pronounced double-u delta zed) is a 2007 British crime horror thriller film directed by Tom Shankland, written by Clive Bradley, and starring Stellan Skarsgård, Melissa George, Selma Blair and Tom Hardy. The film was released in the United States with the title The Killing Gene.

Plot

A pair of detectives attempt to solve a series of grisly murders in a dark rain soaked New York in which each victim has the Price equation (wΔz = Cov (w,z) = βwzVz) carved into their chests .

Detective Eddie Argo (Skarsgard) and his new partner Helen Westcott (George) decipher the strange equation and realize each victim must make a heinous choice: kill your loved ones or be killed. Soon, it is clear the perpetrator has suffered a similar fate and is now coping by attempting to solve this philosophical quandary.

Release and reception
The film received generally positive reviews. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 71% based on reviews from 14 critics.

CHUD.com wrote of the film, "Director Tom Shankland paints a grimy portrait that fits well with the Clive Bradley script. It is a great debut for both filmmakers who created a movie that works on almost every level."

DVD Talk wrote, "But let's not kid ourselves: This is a nasty horror thriller that has a Class of 1984 feel to it, although it has the most in common with the Saw series (even the line "Oh yes, there will be blood!" is morphed into "But there will be pain!"). It's not quite as outlandishly brutal, but it's still mean."

Fortean Times wrote, "While the plot twists rarely come as a surprise, the film's grimy feel and effective pacing, and a gripping – if occasionally rather over-exaggerated – central performance by Skarsgård, make this a genuinely thrilling venture into Se7en territory, despite the unfortunate silliness of the title."

The  San Diego Chargers season was the franchise's fifth season in the National Football League (NFL), and its 15th overall. The team improved on their 2–11–1 record in 1973 and finished 5–9. It was Tommy Prothro's first season as the team's head coach.

Before the season, the team changed from white helmets and powder blue jerseys—which it had had since its inception in 1960—to royal blue helmets and jerseys. Players' uniform numbers were also removed from the helmets. The royal blue would remain through 1984, when the helmets and jerseys became a darker shade of blue (navy blue); that blue became even darker in 1988. The Chargers switched back permanently to modified white helmets in 2007.

The AD-150 is a high-speed VTOL tilting ducted fan unmanned aerial vehicle that is being developed by American Dynamics Flight Systems as a future competitor for the United States Marine Corps' Tier III VUAS program as well as other current and future United States VTOL UAV programs.

Development
The AD-150 program began in response to continued interest in maritime capable VTOL UAVs by the United States Department of Defense.

The AD-150 utilizes two wing-tip mounted High Torque Aerial Lift (HTAL) lift and propulsion systems to provide the thrust needed to sustain and transition between hover and forward flight. The two HTAL systems are driven by a single Pratt & Whitney Canada PW200 Turboshaft engine.

The vehicle's propulsion configuration is similar to the Doak VZ-4 in that the two propulsion systems are able to tilt from vertical to horizontal mode in order to achieve high-speed forward flight. Unlike the Doak VZ-4, however, the propulsion systems in the AD-150 are also able to pivot longitudinally.

A full-scale model of the AD-150 was displayed for the first time at the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International's (AUVSI) Unmanned Systems North America exhibition in Washington, D.C., on August 7, 2007.

In February 2010, the University of Maryland's Industrial Partnerships program approved $135,150 in funding to test a scale model of the company's patented High Torque Aerial Lift (HTAL) system in a tunnel at the university.  They will utilize a 1/3–1/2 scale model that will be tested at different fan and tunnel speeds and duct angles to represent the transition between vertical and horizontal flight.

Diane Robin Noomin ( Rosenblatt, May 13, 1947 – September 1, 2022) was an American comics artist associated with the underground comics movement. She is best known for her character DiDi Glitz, who addresses transgressive social issues such as feminism, female masturbation, body image, and miscarriages.

Noomin was the editor of the anthology series Twisted Sisters, and published comix stories in many underground titles, including Wimmen's Comix, Young Lust, Arcade, and Weirdo. She also did theatrical work, creating a stage adaptation of DiDi Glitz.

Early life and career
Noomin was born the elder of two sisters in Canarsie. The family moved to Hempstead, Long Island, in 1952, and then back to Canarsie in 1960. She attended The High School of Music & Art, Brooklyn College, and the Pratt Institute.

Noomin's first comics work was published in 1973 in Wimmen's Comix #2, and soon after had stories in Young Lust and El Perfecto. The first DiDi Glitz story, "Restless Reverie", appeared in Short Order Comix #2 (Family Fun, 1974). Noomin's work appeared in all seven issues of Arcade, co-edited by Bill Griffith and Art Spiegelman.

In 1975, Noomin and Aline Kominsky left the Wimmen's Comix collective due to internal conflicts that were both aesthetic and political. Kominsky and Noomin put together a 36-page one-shot issue of Twisted Sisters in 1976, published by Last Gasp, which featured their own humorous and "self-deprecating" stories and art.

In 1978, Noomin edited the Print Mint one-shot Lemme Outa Here, a comics collection of stories of life in mid-century American suburbs, featuring Noomin, Michael McMillan, Robert Armstrong, Griffith, Robert Crumb, Aline Kominsky, Kim Deitch, Justin Green, Mark Beyer, and M. K. Brown.

In 1980, Noomin collaborated with Les Nickelettes, a San Francisco-based women's theater group, to produce a musical comedy based on DiDi Glitz. I'd Rather Be Doing Something Else — The DiDi Glitz Story featured Noomin's costumes and scenery, and sets by Deitch, Paul Mavrides, and Griffith. A cabaret version of the show, titled Anarchy in High Heels, was later performed at New York City's Westbeth Artists Community.

In 1984, after a ten-year hiatus, Noomin returned to the pages of Wimmen's Comix; her work appeared in almost every issue from that point forward. She was also a regular contributor to Weirdo from 1985–1993 (a period in which Weirdo was edited by Kominsky-Crumb, whose editorial tenure was informally known as "Twisted Sisters").

In 1991, Noomin edited and put together a 260-page trade paperback anthology which she called Twisted Sisters: A Collection of Bad Girl Art (Viking Penguin), featuring the work of herself, Kominsky-Crumb, and 13 other female cartoonists, including many former Wimmen's Comix contributors. All the work in the collection had been previously published, most of it in anthologies such as Weirdo and Wimmen's Comix. The success of that book led to Kitchen Sink Press publishing a four-issue Twisted Sisters Comix limited series in 1994, also edited by Noomin, with each issue featuring 44 pages of new comics by a number of female contributors. The limited series was subsequently collected in 1995 as Twisted Sisters, vol. 2: Drawing the Line.

Personal life and death
Noomin's first, short-lived marriage, was to photographer Alan Newman; her pen name, "Noomin", was derived from her original married name. Noomin was long involved with cartoonist Bill Griffith, whom she first met at a New Year's Eve party in San Francisco in 1972. She and Griffith lived together in Connecticut, where they moved in 1998 after many years in San Francisco.

She died from uterine cancer on September 1, 2022. A memorial service, hosted by the School of Visual Arts, was held for Noomin on November 10; speakers included Bill Griffith, Art Spiegelman, Phoebe Gloeckner, Hillary Chute, Jennifer Camper, and others.

Awards
Noomin was presented with an Inkpot Award in 1992.

The Twisted Sisters anthologies were nominated for Eisner Awards for Best Anthology in 1992 and 1995.

Northwest Classen High School is a public high school serving students in grades 9–12 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

History
Northwest Classen High School was built in 1955 to accommodate the growing population in the northwest corridor of Oklahoma City.  Along with Classen School of Advanced Studies, it was named for Anton H. Classen, an early Oklahoma City real estate developer and philanthropist.

As the neighborhoods around Northwest Classen have changed, so has the cultural makeup of the campus.  Initially an almost all-Caucasian school, the population has gradually become more multi-cultural.  Today, the enrollment in the school is predominantly Hispanic with about 1/2 as many African-American and 1/4 Caucasian students with almost 100 different races and cultures represented.

Hudson Performance Hall
The original auditorium was, along with the rest of the school, targeted for upgrades and renovation as part of Oklahoma City's "MAPS for Kids" program in 2010.  Alumni J. Clifford Hudson (a local businessman) and his wife Leslie, who had met in that auditorium, donated $500,000 in additional funds to install updated sound and lighting technology, improve the acoustics and update the audience area for the site.  Now named the "Hudson Performance Hall", the venue has held concerts by notable acts such as Vince Gill (also an alumnus), Al Yankovic, Arlo Guthrie, and Sinbad.

Extracurricular activities
Northwest fields teams in Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association-sanctioned competition in baseball, fast-pitch softball, football, cheerleading, cross country, volleyball, basketball, tennis, wrestling, golf, soccer, and track.

Northwest is host to an active JROTC (Army) program.  Clubs include a chess club, multicultural club, history club, native-American student services club, Anime club, and a dance team.

The  San Diego Chargers season was the franchise's fourth season in the National Football League (NFL), and its 14th overall.

The team was coming off a season that ended with a 4–9–1 record. Although he was offered a five-year contract toward the end of the previous season, 1973 would prove to be Harland Svare's final season as the team's head coach.

The team obtained quarterback Johnny Unitas in a trade with the Baltimore Colts, but Unitas was a shell of his former greatness. In the middle of the season he was replaced at quarterback by a rookie Dan Fouts, the team's third-round pick in that year's draft.

Sylvain Guillot (born 1972) is a French jockey. He is married to the sister of fellow jockey Yannick Fouin and has one son, Thomas.

For three years from about 1987, Guillot did an apprenticeship with Jean-François Daubin at Maisons-Laffitte. In 1990, he joined Jean-Paul Gallorini's stable and won 15 races on the flat and eight over the jumps.

Guillot's greatest successes came in 1994 when he won the Grand Critérium at Longchamp on Goldmark and, just two weeks later, the Champion Stakes at Newmarket, riding Dernier Empereur.

In 1995, he won the Prix Jacques Le Marois while riding Miss Satamixa, the Grosser Preis der Badischen Wirtschaft on Freedom Cry, and the Oaks d'Italia on Valley of Gold.

In September 2006, he broke his wrist whilst practicing, though he has returned to horse riding since.

Robert J. Miller Air Park , also known as the Ocean County Airport, is a county-owned public-use airport in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. It is located five nautical miles (6 mi, 9 km) southwest of the central business district of Toms River, New Jersey.

Opened in 1968 as the Ocean County Air-Park, the airport is named after Ocean County Freeholder Robert J. Miller, who worked to expand the airport while in office. Miller died in 1969 in an accident that occurred at the airport; it was named after him in 1970.

This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation airport.

Facilities and aircraft
The airport covers an area of 822 acres (333 ha) at an elevation of 86 feet (26 m) above mean sea level. It has two asphalt runways designated 6/24 (measuring 5,950 by 100 feet or 1,814 x 30 m) and 14/32 (measuring 3,599 by 75 feet or 1,097 x 23 m). It also has a helipad designated H1 (measuring 100 by 100 feet or 30 x 30 m).

For the 12-month period ending October 31, 2022, the airport had 38,550 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 106 per day. At that time there were 64 aircraft based at this airport: 53 single-engine, 8 multi-engine, 1 jet, and 2 helicopter.

The Bentley Rare Book Gallery is a rare book library housed on the lower level of the Horace W. Sturgis Library at Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Georgia, United States.  It is one of only three certified, museum-grade rare book libraries in Georgia, the others located at the University of Georgia in Athens and Emory University in Atlanta. Named after Mr. Fred D. Bentley, Sr, one of its principal benefactors, and his wife Sarah Bentley, the library contains a diverse collection of works documenting the history of the written and printed word in English.

History
The rare book room was a result of a collaboration between Library Director, Robert Williams, College President, Dr. Betty Siegel, and Fred Bentley.

Design
The gallery is designed to resemble a "domestic library in a middle-class household during the reign of King George III (1760-1820)." Other cited sources for the design were Agatha Christie's description of her ideal home in her autobiography, the Edwardian imagery of E. M. Forster, and Edith Wharton's "The Decoration of Houses."

The space, on the ground floor of the Sturgis Library, was dramatically transformed into an immersive environment in which patrons can interact with and appreciate the collection.  The room’s woodwork was entirely hand crafted to evoke an authentic atmosphere.  Behind these beautiful surroundings, modern technology and systems were utilized to make the space secure and environmentally controlled.  The Gallery was completed with period pieces that highlight the rich cultural and social history of objects and complement their setting.

The  San Diego Chargers season was the franchise's third season in the National Football League (NFL), and its 13th overall. The team failed to improve on their 6–8 record in 1971. The Chargers would get off to a poor start, as they were devoured 34-3 in their season opener at San Francisco. After their week 2 win against the Denver Broncos, the Chargers would play to a 17-17 draw with another cross-state rival, the Oakland Raiders. It was San Diego's fourth tie in 3 seasons (they tied 3 times in 1970). Even after they defeated the Baltimore Colts in the week following the tie, the Bolts would stumble the rest of the year, winning only 2 more games en route to a 4-9-1 season. This squad featured several players like Duane Thomas, Tim Rossovich, Dave Costa and John Mackey who were unwanted by most of the other NFL teams.
