I didn't know how much I didn't know until I started taking classes in college.
To find more tips for prospective students, what to do for fun and whether this school is great for a particular type of student read the 57 reviews for Plymouth State University
Curious about something that isn't answered here? Feel free to ask Plymouth State University a question
Plymouth State has a very nice campus. It is very large. Lots of people.
Read MoreI recently visited this college, the campus is great, the professors are great. The dorm rooms weren't the nicest, but they were not bad. The big thing it was missing was a big cafeteria!
Read MoreIt seems that everyone on campus is friendly and really geared towards making new friends and connections. The faculty and staff show great attention and strong willingness to help students meet their goals. I applied here on a whim, quit my jobs and moved up, the moment I stepped on to campus...I just knew it was a perfect fit.
Read MoreIn terms of administration, I would not recommend this school to ANYONE. PSU has an incredibly disorganized administration system and is truly lacking in it's ability to communicate effectively amongst both faculty members as well as to students. The resources available to students (undergraduate studies, admissions, registrar's office) are continuously unresponsive with misaligned answers regarding graduation expectations/curriculum/credits.
Read MoreThere is always something going on People are so friendly The school and teachers really care about how the students are constricting knowledge
Read MorePlymouth state is small and tight nit. It offers great work opportunities of you have a declared major. it also has professor that care about your success
Read MorePlymouth has a lot to choose from. Has many major choices, good sports teams and lots to do.Camput is also close to lots of outdoor things to do, hiking, mountain biking and sking.
Read MoreIt is a refreshing change of pace from most other colleges and universities. The view and atmosphere up here are amazing, the faculty and staff are open and caring, and everyone knows each other here. Its very easy to get into the Plymouth state of mind.
Read MoreA great small town school. Everything is relatively close by. Sense of community is amazing.
Read MoreI love Plymouth State, from the day I started I've always felt like a valued member of the community. I think that most people don't look at Plymouth as much of an academic powerhouse, but they would be very surprised if they attended classes here. I feel honored to have learned from some of the best professors in New England, and can only hope that my knowledge continues to grow at such a tremendous rate once I continue my education into grad school.

This release is available online at http://www.uphs.upenn.edu/news/News_Releases/2012/05/tool/
CHICAGO — A new electronic medical record tool that tallies patients' previous radiation exposure from CT scans helps reduce potentially unnecessary use of the tests among emergency room patients with abdominal pain, according to a study from researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania that will be presented today at the annual meeting of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine. The new study shows that when the tool is in use, patients are 10 percent less likely to undergo a CT scan, without increasing the number of patients who are admitted to the hospital.
Abdominal pain is the most common reason why people seek care in emergency rooms in the United States, accounting for 10 million visits each year. But the symptoms may be caused by myriad problems, from those that can be fixed with a single dose of an over-the-counter drug to those that could prove life-threatening within hours: from a bout of GI distress to an ectopic pregnancy; from constipation to an appendix about to burst; from a hernia to signs of a chronic condition like Crohn's disease.
This complex diagnostic face-off plays a huge role in why emergency physicians tend to lean heavily on tests like CT scans, even though they expose patients to radiation and there are few clear guidelines on which patients should get them. Since the mid-1990s, the use of CT scans to diagnose ER patients has surged, increasing ten-fold. Today, 14 percent of all emergency room patients get scanned — a statistic experts often point to as a contributor to ballooning health care costs.
"Most patients with abdominal pain aren't in major danger, but some of the conditions that are on the list of things we consider as causes can be fatal within a short amount of time," said Angela M. Mills, MD, an assistant professor of Emergency Medicine and medical director of the emergency department at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. "We need to be sure about our diagnosis in order to keep patients safe, but we need to balance the risks of giving a test like a CT scan with the chance that the test will truly provide us with information we could not get in some other way with less risk to the patient."
The Penn researchers investigated a new tool embedded within patients' electronic medical records that walked physicians through a series of questions that served as checks and balances for their decision to order a CT scan to investigate a patient's abdominal pain. They were queried, for instance, on what diagnosis they were trying to look for (from appendicitis to colitis to an ovarian cyst or tumor), and how likely they thought it was that the patient actually had that problem. And if a medical resident ordered the test, it had to be approved by an attending physician before the patient could receive the scan. Those steps, the researchers said, appeared to play a role in prompting the care team to rethink their choice of tests.
The authors studied 11,176 patients seen in two Penn Medicine emergency rooms between July 2011 and March 2012. Prior to implementing the new "accountability tool," 32.3 percent of patients seen received CT scans. After its use was adopted, the number dropped to 28 percent. After adjusting for various confounding factors, the researchers determined that patients were 10 percent less likely to undergo a CT scan after the tool was built into the electronic medical record. The patients were no more likely to be admitted to the hospital — a common occurrence when a diagnosis remains unclear — after adoption of the tool.
An enhanced version of the program, launched since the new study was completed, also provides information on how many different abdominal imaging tests the patient has previously had at Penn, and tallies their total radiation exposure from previous CT scans. Mills hopes that additional data will help cut down on unnecessary tests even more.
"For many patients, like those who are older or have cancer, this tool might not make a difference," Mills said, "but there are many abdominal patients who are younger, healthier, and who have things that are usually not life-threatening like kidney stones, for whom we are hoping this will reduce their exposure to unnecessary radiation."
In the future, as electronic medical records become more robust and accessible between different hospitals, she hopes a similar tool can be used to obtain information about the past CT scans of a larger number of patients.
Other authors of the study (Abstract #383) include Daniel Holena, Caroline Kerner, Hanna Zafar and Frances Shofer, all at Penn, and Brigitte Baumann at Cooper University Hospital.
Editor's Note: Mills will present the findings (Abstract #383) at 2 p.m. CST on Friday, May 11, in the Erie Room at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers, 301 East North Water Street, Chicago.
Penn Medicine is one of the world's leading academic medical centers, dedicated to the related missions of medical education, biomedical research, and excellence in patient care.

We've heard about cats surviving big falls, but dogs? Norman the 18-month-old Weimaraner seems to be the exception. Last August, Norman survived a 250-foot drop over the White Cliffs of Dover, England. Norman's owner Simon Spore told BBC that his fiancée's son was on a walk with the dog when it began to chase a rabbit. The boy lost control over Norman and the dog tumbled over the cliffs, landing in the docks below. Dock workers came to Norman's side and saw that while the dog looked hurt, he was still alive. After an examination, it was concluded that Norman had suffered a collapsed lung and broken pelvis, but amazingly, was ultimately fine. Norman was able to make a speedy recovery and can now move around with little pain.

A new traffic flow design planned for northern Kentucky aims to smooth the ride for travelers using a technique that's new to the region.
The Kentucky Enquirer reports the double crossover diamond interchange at Kentucky 536 and Interstate 71/75 in Boone County will be among the first of its kind in the area.
Carol Callan-Ramler, project manager for the Transportation Cabinet District 6 office, says meetings are being held with the public to describe the project.
"We wanted to start the public meetings now because this is a major project, and the double crossover diamond interchange is something many people have probably never seen before," she said.
Utility work and right of way acquisitions are expected to start next year. Construction of the road project is expected to begin in 2015.
The double crossover, which is also called a diverging diamond interchange, is becoming more popular after being introduced in the U.S. in 2009 from Europe, where it was developed.
The city of Lexington installed a diverging diamond intersection in 2011 on Harrodsburg Road and a one-year review of the project found that accidents had decreased by 40 percent and 72 percent of people who responded to a Kentucky Transportation Cabinet survey said the design was a good solution and recommended its use elsewhere.
Boone County Judge-executive Gary Moore said the current and anticipated traffic flow in the area makes the double crossover diamond interchange the best option for both Kentucky 536, which is Mt. Zion Road, and for Richwood Road and I-71/75.
"When a majority of the traffic is flowing from one direction, in this case the north, this option works perfectly," Moore said. "The (DCD) interchanges at Mt. Zion and Richwood Road allow for the continuation of our rapid growth and expansion in the county, even in a down economy."
Callan-Ramler said DCDs usually cost less than traditional road-widening projects and provide a traffic flow that is less disruptive.
"The way we fund transportation is inadequate," Callan-Ramler said, "so we have to figure out how we can skin the cat with the resources that we have."
Developer Jack Berberich said current traffic flow has slowed growth.
"We've had inquiries from other businesses about some of the vacant land there, and the traffic issues are always a major concern," he said.

text: Chile's Bachelet leaves U.N. post amid presidential comeback calls on Mar 15, 2013 @ 9:45 PMUNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet announced on Friday she would step down from a key U.N. post amid high expectations that the popular politician would campaign again for the top job in her homeland at a November election.Speaking at the end of a U.N. policy-making conference on women's rights, Bachelet simply said she would leave her role as executive director of gender equality body U.N. Women to go "back to my country."The paediatrician-turned-politician's 2006 to 2010 rule was one of Chile's most popular presidencies, thanks to Bachelet's amiable style, welfare policies and steady economic growth in one of the region's most developed countries.Chile's fractured left-wing coalition, which President Sebastian Pinera ousted from a 20-year rule, is hoping Bachelet will stage a comeback. Pinera belongs to the right-wing Renovacion Nacional party.Bachelet, a victim of torture under the brutal dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet and a single mother of three, was one of conservative Chile's most unusual presidents since the return to democracy in 1990.But her legacy was tainted by her government's slow response providing aid and halting looting after a devastating 8.8 magnitude earthquake in February 2010.Under Chilean law, Pinera is banned from running for a second consecutive term. Former Public Works Minister Laurence Golborne, a charismatic businessman, and former Defence Minister Andres Allamand, a seasoned politician, are jostling to be the right-wing bloc's candidate.About 49 percent of Chileans say they want Bachelet to be the country's next president, versus 11 percent for Golborne and 5 percent for Allamand, pollster CEP said in January.Bachelet has led U.N. Women, a body for gender equality and the empowerment of women, since it was created in 2010 by the U.N. General Assembly.U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon on Friday praised her "visionary leadership" for giving it the start it needed."Her record of achievement includes new steps to protect women and girls from violence, new advances on health and a new understanding that women's empowerment must be at the core of all we do at the United Nations," he said in a statement."Her drive and compassion enabled her to mobilize and make a difference for millions of people across the world," he said.(Reporting by Michelle Nichols at the United Nations and Alexandra Ulmer in Santiago; Editing by Todd Eastham)

The Steel Mags is such a wonderful group to belong to. They provide everyone with a safe place to bond and recieve support. I always feel safe sharing here and getting helpful advice when needed. Other times it good to see how well other's have made it through things. There will always be new members coming in, and some at the beginning of this journey. We share in our struggles and it helps to know you are not alone. I also love seeing when the Steel Mags are able to get out and do things. Seeing a group being able to travel and complete the Army 10 miler run recently was wonderful! I hope to see this group able to do more things like that. We all have our own journey and the leadership in this group is amazing.

The Steel Mags not only provides critical support by giving spouses a safe environment to share, grieve, relate and offer helpful tips, but it provides a network of women who lift each other up and help empower each other. The Steel Mags is the one and only place I can go to where I know I am not judged, where I am safe and comfortable discussing some of the hurdles we have faced with my husbands injuries and where I can go to for no nonsense real advice and help. Having a group of women who have lived the same lifestyle and who have dealt with injuries, trauma, loss, uncertainty and who really understand and "get it" is the most valuable resource and source of strength during horrific times that I can think of. Strong, resilient, capable and intelligent women coming together to provide positive inspiration after some of the most devastating events is truly a treasured blessing. Three and a half years at the hospital dealing with surgeries, therapies, juggling specialists, researching alternate options for care, researching specialists and trying to heal a family at the same time is not only time consuming, but emotionally and physically exhausting and can leave you feeling very isolated and alone. Now that my husband is newly medically retired we are finally able to start moving on with our lives. Having the Steel Mags by my side during this new phase of our lives, I'm beyond grateful. Knowing I'm not alone- invaluable.

The Steel Mags are MY lifeline that I am okay. My hurts, my sorrows, are all valid and at times, when I feel all alone, I can touch base with a fellow sister, and say, "I hurt. I am scared. I am sad." And, she will love me with no judgement. This week I have learned I no longer "fit" in the military realm (FRGs, deployments, etc). But here, I am safe. I am welcomed. I feel "heard". When I cry out, there is another that feels my pain, because she is living it too. THIS has become a part of my identity.

As a spouse, I know that I have benefited greatly from the organized events and in prompt to get together's that have helped me navigate through the many questions that are always popping up. This isn't help for a few weeks or months, this is help forever. The bonds I have formed with some of the other spouses I know will be there forever. This is MUST JOIN!!

We have been helped greatly by this organization. Medical Procedures that were not covered under our health benefit were provided by the Green Beret Foundation. We can't thank them enough. My husband has been Medically Retired now for a year and a half. We know they are there when we need them. They also have a support group for Caregivers of the Wounded Green Berets. They have recently put together a Marriage Building Program complete with web conference with the authors. Thank you Green Beret Foundation!

I am married to a medically retired Green Beret. When the Army and the VA would not pay for treatments that my husband needed, as they deemed in experimental, the GBF stepped up! They paid for hyberbaric oxygen treatment for my husband allowing him to speak without a speech device, ride a bike, and basically, live a normal life again. The GBF also does a great job offering programs, webinars and activities for spouses...the Steel Mags. I am proud to be a Steel Mag...and so grateful for everything the Green Bert Goundation has done for my husband, my family and me.

I am the mom of a Green Beret who is actively serving and although I have not needed to ask for the services of the Foundation, I know you are there for my son. This is a great comfort to me and to his other family members and the many friends who keep you all in their prayers. I proudly wear my Green Beret Foundation t-shirt whenever possible to let others know of this wonderful organization. Keep up the good work. Keep posting the many ways that you are supporting your brothers and their families. I am happy to donate to this foundation whenever possible.

But there was no known reason to tweak things for SCTP. If one wanted to adjust things system wide there was no way for it to apply to SCTP too. Also, the TCP controls are not as they would seem. They don't directly effect things like the sysctl*{rmem,wmem} stuff does, rather it influences the dynamic socket buffer sizing which TCP does. |

Police Contact Mother About Her Son's Death Through Facebook, Delays Notification By 20 Days
Georgia police used an unoffical Facebook account to inform a woman of her son's death 20 days after he was killed.
Anna Lamb-Creasey learned of her son's death almost a month after it happened through a bizarre Facebook message sent to her account by Clayton County police.
The Georgia mother had been searching for her missing son, 30-year-old Ricky Lamb, for three weeks— calling hospitals, checking jails, and leaving increasingly worried voicemail, text and Facebook messages for her child. She had no idea that Ricky had been killed after he was struck by a vehicle while crossing a street on Jan. 24.
Desperate for any news of her son's whereabouts, Lamb-Creasey was sifting through her Facebook messages when she noticed a box called "other," in the message folder. Inside it, she found an old message from a user named "Misty Hancock" asking her to call Clayton County police.
Lamb-Creasey told WSB-TV that she had idea that if someone who is not a "friend" sends her a message, it gets filtered to a box called "other" in her message folder. She said she and her daughter, who also received the odd message, didn't pay any attention to the note from "Misty Hancock" because of the strange name and the profile picture of Atlanta rapper TI. "I'm like, OK. I'm thinking it's just fake," she said.
On Valentine's Day, twenty days after Ricky Lamb had been reported missing, Lamb-Creasey's daughter called the police department and learned of her brother's death.
Lamb-Creasey is furious that it took police so long to deliver the tragic news. "They told me that they did the best that they can do. But I'm not sure about that. If they can track a criminal down, they couldn't track me down? They could have done better," she told WSB-TV, in tears. "I've been on my job 13 years. They could have found me."
Clayton County police spokesman Sgt. Kevin Hughes told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that police tried "every way that we could to reach the family through conventional means, but we were unsuccessful. The young man didn't have current identification to help us to reach his family."
Sgt. Hughes said that he didn't know why the "Misty Hancock" profile was used to contact Lamb's family and that the department was currently investigating the circumstances that led to the message being sent from that account. He added that the chief of police had apologized personally to Lamb-Creasey.
Ricky Lamb will be buried this Saturday. "I can not [sic] begin to tell you the pain I am feeling," his mother writes on a fundraising website set up to defray funeral costs. "He is survived by 3 children, 6 and 2 year old daughters and a 4 year old son."

No Contest? No Argument!
Having been teed up so perfectly as the ideal crossroads match-up, it was a great shame that an accidental clash of heads would see to it that Rendall Munroe and Scott Quigg were not able fulfill the potential their showdown had promised this Saturday night in the Manchester Velodrome.
For the 23-year-old Quigg, it was a huge step up, but one that could throw him into the fringes of the world picture at Super-Bantam. For Munroe, once vanquished by Toshiaki Nishioka, it was a career lifeline.
The fight was geared up for fireworks, and the short-lasting action seemed to fit the pre-fight description. Both appeared confident, with Munroe walking out relaxed in his trademark sunglasses/hat combination, while the younger man seemed positively gleeful at the opportunity to give a lesson to the old warrior opposite him.
Quigg appeared sharp in the first round, boxing on the back foot and firing a right over the top as Munroe walked in. Munroe, however, seemed unpe...

Thunder 117, Nuggets 97
Not even halfway through the first quarter, Russell Westbrook had already provided a showcase of his All-Star array of talents.
Pushing the pace to earn free throws, getting inside for a layup, popping a mid-range jumper, he had done it all. And the Denver Nuggets were never able to answer.
Westbrook scored half of his 32 points in the opening quarter and the Oklahoma City Thunder went wire-to-wire for a 117-97 victory Wednesday night, snapping Denver's six-game winning streak.
''What can you do?'' All-Star teammate Kevin Durant said. ''He's shooting the jump shot. If you pressure him, then he goes to the rim. It's like a nightmare when he's making that jump shot.
''So, hopefully he continues to keep making it. ... These last few games, he's been really good at scoring the basketball and taking the pressure off everybody else.''
Westbrook's monster first quarter followed a season-best 36 points in Oklahoma City's last game Monday night at Phoenix. And this time, he needed only three quarters to do his damage.
The Thunder pulled their starters with a 25-point edge heading into the fourth quarter. It was only the second wire-to-wire win of the season for Oklahoma City, which has a league-best 31-8 record.
Denver was riding its longest winning streak of the season, but needed overtime to beat Portland only a night earlier and never could match Oklahoma City's energy.
''There's always those three or four or five games a year that you can't get it going, and tonight we couldn't get it going,'' coach George Karl said. ''And you're playing maybe the best team in basketball.''
Durant and Kevin Martin each scored 20 points for the Thunder. Durant also matched his career best with five steals.
Kosta Koufos had 16 points and nine rebounds to lead the Nuggets, who fell to 3-6 this season in the second game of a back-to-back set.
''We knew these guys were coming on a back-to-back, playing overtime last night, so we just wanted to get into them and make them make quick decisions with the ball,'' Durant said.
Westbrook hit six of his first eight shots and had 16 points in the first 10 minutes, with the Thunder continuously pulling away. Oklahoma City scored the first seven points of the game and also had a pair of 8-0 spurts in the first quarter while getting out to a 34-18 lead.
''I come into the game confident, honestly, and I just come out and take the shots that's given to me,'' Westbrook said.
It wasn't until after Nick Collison's two-handed dunk stretched the advantage to 45-23 in the first 3 minutes of the second quarter before Karl finally spent a timeout. The Nuggets never got closer than 17 after that.
''We didn't have a good offensive game, we didn't have a good defensive game, we didn't have a good energy game. They seemed to be the hungry team from the very beginning,'' Karl said.
''Their studs got into the game at a high level very early and scored a lot of points. We never got into our flow.''
Denver had won after trailing in the fourth quarter or overtime in its previous four games, but dug too big of a hole to mount a comeback this time.
The Nuggets scored 11 straight points immediately after Oklahoma City pulled Martin, its top reserve, and put him on the bench alongside the starters. That still only cut the deficit to 101-84.
It was the fifth straight win for Oklahoma City in its only home game between sweeping a three-game West Coast road and heading back out for six more away from Chesapeake Energy Arena.
''We're greedy,'' Durant said. ''In this league, you've got to be greedy. Just as quickly as you can win four or five in a row, you can lose four or five. You never can be complacent.''
JaVale McGee had a couple of highlight-reel dunks among 15 points for Denver. Andre Iguodala scored 12 and Danilo Gallinari 11. The Nuggets had 21 turnovers, one shy of their worst total of the season.
The Northwest Division rivals will play again Sunday in Denver.
Reserve Wilson Chandler, who hit the go-ahead 3-pointer in the Nuggets' overtime win against Portland on Tuesday night, did not play.
Serge Ibaka returned to the Oklahoma City lineup after missing the past two games with a chest contusion and had five points, six rebounds and five blocks in 26 minutes.
NOTES: Asked before the game who should be the Nuggets' All-Star candidates, Karl said backup point guard Andre Miller has been the team's MVP so far. ... Oklahoma City corralled an offensive rebound on nine of its first 16 missed shots. ... The Thunder scored 67 points in the first half. Their season-high for first-half scoring was 68 against Houston on Dec. 29. ... Oklahoma City reserve Nick Collison sprained his right ankle in the first half and did not return.

Re: MNF: New York Jets vs. San Diego Chargers
Jets at Chargers: What's on the line?
By T.O. WHENHAM
Last week's Monday Night Football game was an instant classic. It had everything - drama, intensity, highlights (and lowlights - thanks DeSean Jackson) galore, and all the scoring a guy could ever need. Though there are elements of interest this week, it would take a miracle for this showdown between the Jets and the Chargers to approach the level of that epic. Alas, they can't all be classics, but they can all be bet on.
The most interesting wager in this game might be the number of inane, mind-numbing references the commentators make about Brett Favre over the course of the night. I'd set the total at about 400 and still take the over. As for the actual game, the action is heavy but it is reasonably evenly split with the Chargers set as 9-point favorites. About 55 percent of bets have been placed on the underdogs. Given the injury reports coming out of San Diego and the presence of Favre that's not that surprising.
It's not being unkind to say that neither team has been exactly overwhelming so far. The Jets made Miami look better than they should have in their opening win, and in retrospect their winning margin was actually a desperation airball heaved into the endzone and brought down by a Jet on 4th and 13. Not great. Against New England they weren't terrible, but they were outplayed by a QB making his first start since high school. The Chargers, as I'm sure you can tell by all of the whining, have lost two close games, and they were victimized by a bad call in the last one.
The bigger point, though, is that this team never should have been in the position to lose either game late in the first place. They have a significant skill advantage over both of their opponents, but the combination of injuries, lack of focus, and Norv Turner on the sideline have caused them to let their opponents stay within striking distance. You'd think these slow starts would be getting old, but they must work for the Chargers - this is the fifth time in six years that they have limped out of the gate.
After hearing far too much about Shawne Merriman's knee we now get to be inundated by talk of LaDainian Tomlinson's toe. The Buckeyes could tell us a bit about the perils of having a running back with a toe injury. The betting challenge becomes balancing the impact of that injury against the facts that Brett Favre is really old and Eric Mangini isn't much of a coach.
Predictably, the public is enthusiastically and blindly on the over. The total is set at 44. The Chargers shouldn't have much trouble fulfilling their half of the bargain - they are averaging 31 points per game and have gone over in both of their games. The Jets will make it harder, though. They have averaged just 15, and have gone under twice despite facing relatively low totals of 37 both times.
On the other hand, the Chargers have done well at making opposing offenses shine so far, and Favre has a history of coming through on the Monday night stage. The public's opinion is no lock, but it notably isn't terrible here. Not that this is particularly relevant, but all three MNF games this year have gone over, and the last one was over the total by halfway through the second quarter.
Re: MNF: New York Jets vs. San Diego Chargers
N.Y. Jets (1-1 SU and ATS) at San Diego (0-2 SU and ATS)
The Chargers will try to avoid an 0-3 start when they welcome Brett Favre and the Jets to Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego.
After falling 26-24 to Carolina on the final play in its opener, Norv Turner's squad went to Denver last week and ended up on the wrong end of an officiating blunder in a 39-38 loss to the Broncos in a pick-em contest. The Chargers have gotten outstanding play this season from QB Philip Rivers, who enters tonight with a 122.5 passer rating and who has thrown for 594 yards with six TDs and just one INT. Defensively, however, San Diego has yet to stop anybody, allowing 32.5 points and 437 total yards per game.
The Jets opened the season with a 20-14 road win in Miami as a three-point favorite and then came home last week and lost 19-10 to New England as a one-point favorite. Favre has an NFL-record 445 TD passes but only two in a Jets' uniform, both coming in the season-opening win over the Dolphins, as last week he finished 18-for-26 for 152 yards with an interception. Eric Mangini's defense ranks sixth in the league against the run (76.5 ypg) and eighth in total defense (268.5 ypg).
The Jets are 3-0 SU and ATS in their last three trips to San Diego dating to 2002, including a 20-17 upset win as seven-point 'dogs in a 2005 AFC wild-card matchup. The last time these two teams faced each other was in November 2005, when the Chargers scored a 31-26 road win but failed to cover as a 6½-point road chalk. The visitor is 7-2 (6-3 ATS) in the last nine series clashes dating back to 1989, with the straight-up winner going 8-1 ATS during this stretch.
Favre went 5-0 SU against the Chargers in his Packers career, including a 31-24 upset win in Green Bay in Week 3 last season.
New York is on ATS slides of 1-5 against teams with a losing record and 1-4-1 in Week 3 games, but its ATS streaks include 4-0 on the road, 9-5 as a road underdog under Mangini and 12-4 following a non-cover. Meanwhile, the Chargers are in ATS ruts of 0-5 in September contests and 3-7-1 in Week 3 action, but they are on positive pointspread runs of 44-22-2 overall, 35-17-3 against AFC squads, 7-1 at home and 19-8-2 following a SU loss.
The Jets are on under streaks of 6-0 overall (all against the AFC), 4-1 on the road and 7-3-1 against teams with a losing record. Conversely, San Diego is on over runs of 5-0 in September games, 10-2 following an ATS loss and 6-1 following a SU defeat, but the under is 4-0 the last four times the Chargers have played on Monday night.
Finally, all four Monday night games this season have flown over the posted total.
Re: MNF: New York Jets vs. San Diego Chargers
Jets at Chargers
By Brad Young
It is hard to call a Week 3 contest a must-win situation, but San Diego is in dire need of a victory after back-to-back heartbreaking losses. The Chargers fell to Carolina on the last play of the game to start the season, and were undone last weekend by a controversial call.
New York has its sights set on a solid showing in front of a nationally televised audience in a series that has seen the road team dominate. This could also be the last Monday Night Football hurrah for quarterback Brett Favre pending another retirement or two. The AFC East is a more even conference now with the season-ending injury to New England's Tom Brady.
Caesars Palace installed San Diego as a nine-point home 'chalk' over New York, with the total set at 44. The line has remained unchanged, but the total opened at 43. ESPN will provide coverage of Monday Night Football beginning at 8:35 p.m. ET.
New York (1-1 straight up and against the spread) takes the field for the first time since its Week 2 setback to New England as a one-point home favorite, 19-10. The combined 29 points failed to topple the 37-point closing total, helping the 'under' improve to 2-0.
The score was only 6-3 at halftime, and the Jets finished the game with just four fewer yards in total offense (260-256). Veteran signal caller Brett Favre was 18-of-26 passing for 181 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Running back Thomas Jones had 17 carries for 70 yards, while wideout Laveranues Coles caught three passes for 72 yards.
San Diego (0-2 SU, 0-1 ATS) is off a controversial loss to AFC West rival Denver as a one-point road underdog, 39-38. The combined 77 points soared 'over' the 46-point closing total, helping the 'over' improve to 2-0.
The Chargers appeared to have won a wild affair by recovering a late fumble, but the play was ruled over because of an errant whistle. The Broncos proceeded to score the winning touchdown and two-point conversion two plays later.
Quarterback Philip Rivers was 21-of-33 passing for 377 yards with three touchdowns and an interception, while wideout Chris Chambers caught four passes for 83 yards and two scores. Running back Darren Sproles paced the ground game with seven carries for 53 yards, while LaDainian Tomlinson had 10 carries for 26 yards.
The road team has won the last three meetings SU in the New York-San Diego series, with the Jets going 2-1 SU and 3-0 ATS. New York won in overtime during the 2004-05 postseason as a seven-point road underdog, 20-17, before losing in the 2005 regular season as a 6 ½-point home 'dog, 31-26. The 'over' has gone 2-1 the past three games in this series.
New York punter Reggie Hodges (thigh) and cornerback Justin Miller (toe) are 'questionable' versus the Chargers, while kicker Mike Nugent (leg) is 'doubtful.'
San Diego running back LaDainian Tomlinson (toe), linebacker Shaun Phillips (groin), linebacker Marques Harris (hip), offensive tackle Marcus McNeill (neck), defensive tackle Jamal Williams (knee) and defensive back Clinton Hart (hand) are 'probable' against the Jets, while center Nick Hardwick (foot) is on track to play next weekend against Oakland.
New York follows this contest with a home date against Arizona before going on its bye week. San Diego embarks on a two-game road trip following this matchup at Oakland and Miami.
Monday's forecast for San Diego calls for partly cloudy skies, with a high of 71 degrees and a low of 64. There is only a 10 percent chance of rain.

Winning trends for Monday Night Football
By MARC LAWRENCE
My, how the times have changed.
There was a time, what now seems way back, when Monday Night Football was the marquee game of the week in the NFL. Back when Frank Gifford, Dandy Don Meredith and Howard Cosell battled over airtime in a revolutionary three-man booth. Back when Cosell used Monday nights as a podium to pontificate on an array of sports issues. Back when 9 p.m. on the East Coast meant most televisions were tuned in to ABC. Back when home dogs barked louder than ever.
Yeah, Mondays were the night and the time was right.
It's now 2008 where Mike Tirico, Ron Jaworski and Tony Kornheiser occupy the Monday Night booth inside the studios at ESPN. Their predecessors, Al McGuire and John Madden are working a day in advance, broadcasting Sunday Night games on NBC. Warning: if you tune in at 9:00 PM on Mondays you will have missed the first 20 minutes of the game.
Nevertheless, as watered down as it has become, Monday Night Football still makes a big splash when it comes to television ratings and games of importance on the NFL scales of exposure.
Because players enjoy being on a big stage, Monday Night Football is still a time to shine in front of peers and football fans. And for handicappers in search of winning edges, Monday Night Football still affords opportunities galore.
One of my favorite Monday Night plays involves home teams returning off back-to-back road games. That's because, since 1980, teams in this situation are 54-36-1 ATS (against the spread) – or 60 percent ATS on the blind. But when you add one more factor, those numbers get even better.
Play on any NFL Monday night home team off back-to-back road games versus an opponent coming off a home game. When you follow that criteria, the record improves to 39-20-1 ATS. Better yet, make sure you are playing on a worthy team (win percentage greater than .400) and we improve those numbers to 32-13-1 ATS.
Best of all, put the worthy home team up against an opponent off a division home game and we soar to new heights, going 20-3-1 ATS.
Here is the list of teams that fall into this sweet spot this 2008 NFL season: 9/29 Pittsburgh, 10/13 Cleveland, 10/20 New England, 11/10 Arizona, 11/24 New Orleans, 12/1 Houston and 12/8 Chicago.
Mark down the dates now.

Petition in Support of Professor Kirby Malone
We, the students and alumni of George Mason University, are protesting the dismissal of Professor Kirby Malone. Throughout his years at Mason, Professor Malone has inspired countless students from a wide range of disciplines. He fosters within his students a thirst for knowledge, a deep respect for all cultures, and an appreciation for the benefits of artistic collaboration. He also possesses a vast knowledge of the visual arts, cyberculture, performance art, gender studies and critical theory, which has been a great benefit to the department as well as to the University. We are extremely concerned that future generations of Mason students will not have the benefit of learning from Professor Malone. We view Professor Malone's ineligibility for reapplication as a strong message that the University does not value critical thinking, open discourse, or an interdisciplinary approach to the study of art. We strongly urge you to reconsider Professor Malone's importance as a professor in the Department of Art and Visual Technology.

A higher property tax in the Special Business District will pay for new street lights and other projects downtown.
Property owners in the district, which is bound by Providence Road and Waugh, Elm and Ash streets, will pay an extra 6 cents per $100 assessed valuation beginning in fiscal 2004. That means the owner of a building worth $100,000 would pay an extra $60 per year.
This permanent increase, approved Monday by the Columbia City Council, will raise the 43-cent tax to 49 cents and generate an additional $12,000 annually for the district.
The money will be used primarily to install decorative lights in place of existing lights. The project will take several years.
"Since the money is being spread out over time, we obviously can't do it all at once," said Carrie Gartner, executive director of the Downtown Columbia Association.
Gartner said work already is being done on downtown streetlights at city expense. The city is painting lights on North Ninth Street and replacing lights on Fifth, Cherry and Ash streets at a cost of $39,000.
While new street lights are on order, prototypes have been installed on Fourth Street between Ash and Walnut streets, in front of the Columbia Daily Tribune. These lights have color-corrected bulbs that provide a much cleaner white light than the older fixtures, Gartner said.
The cost to replace each street light ranges from $570 to $655, depending on location and the amount of light deemed necessary for pedestrian safety. The whole project will cost the district about $220,000 over the next five to seven years.
Downtown property owners surveyed by the district overwhelmingly favored the tax increase; Gartner said there were no negative comments.
Arnie Fagan, owner of Cool Stuff and a member of the Special Business District Board of Directors, echoed Gartner's sentiments.
"I've been personally opposed to almost every tax hike for the last 15 years," Fagan said. "But this is a good thing."
The property tax increase is the district's first in 23 years.
The district plans to start replacing downtown benches in September. New trash cans should be installed by the end of the year, Gartner said. The district also is considering new bike racks.
"We've really been happy with how property owners have responded to our plan," Gartner added.

Hi Duke,
I try not to watch the news too much anymore, except the weather report, it's just too depressing and frustrating. However, I always try to remember that God is in control and know exactly what's going to happen, and that He has a perfect plan.
Hope you have a better tomorrow!

Meet the Worst Judge in AmericaPosted on Nov 25, 2013
By Bill Blum Now that Senate Democrats have deployed the so-called nuclear option and many of the president's judicial nominations finally will move forward, the question arises: From a progressive perspective, who is the worst sitting federal judge in America today? To some, the answer may seem a no-brainer. The worst judge has to be one whose last name is Scalia, Thomas or Alito—the three jurisprudential horsemen of the right-wing apocalypse unfolding term by term at the Supreme Court. To others, the search for the worst may extend beyond the nation's highest tribunal to the lower rungs of the national judiciary. Perhaps the worst is Judge Priscilla Owen of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, who specialized in representing oil and gas industry interests as an attorney in Houston and was appointed to the federal bench by George W. Bush in 2001. Owen authored the recent 5th Circuit opinion overturning a lower court ban on a provision of the new omnibus Texas abortion law that requires doctors performing the procedure to have admitting privileges at a local hospital. Or perhaps the search should range even more widely and focus on federal District Court trial judges, such as Loretta A. Preska, the New York-based jurist who recently sentenced Anonymous-affiliated activist Jeremy Hammond to a 10-year prison term, possibly the harshest penalty ever imposed for the offense of computer hacking. Advertisement Square, Site wide All of the above would be excellent choices. My nominee, however, is Judge Diane S. Sykes, who sits on the 7th Circuit, which covers the states of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, and is headquartered in Chicago. In a 154-page split 2-1 decision handed down Nov. 8, Sykes authored the majority opinion in which she invoked the doctrine of corporate personhood—which she characterized as being "reinvigorated" by the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision on campaign finance law—to invalidate the contraception mandate of Obamacare. How she managed to do so was nothing short of an exercise in judicial fantasy rivaling the most unhinged of Antonin Scalia's rants against gay marriage, albeit without his flare for vitriol. The Obamacare case came before Sykes as a consolidated appeal involving separate complaints filed against Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius by an Illinois construction company with 90 full-time employees and an Indiana manufacturer of safety and lighting systems operating both in this country and abroad with 464 full-time U.S. employees. The Catholic owners of both closely held businesses argued that Obamacare's mandate requiring inclusion of contraception benefits in their employee health care plans violated both the individual owners' and the companies' constitutional and statutory rights to the free exercise of religion. Despite the fact that both businesses engaged in for-profit activity, Sykes concluded, citing Citizens United, that the term "person" includes corporations and as such, the businesses were "persons" whose religious rights not to practice or promote birth control were protected under the Constitution and an obscure piece of legislation—the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, a Clinton-era statute designed to protect religious liberty. Never mind that nothing about Obamacare forces anyone to practice birth control. Still, under Sykes' ruling, if the employees of either company wanted contraception services, they had better look elsewhere. In a pointed dissent, Judge Ilana Rovner wrote that Sykes' opinion represented "an unprecedented and unwarranted re-conception of … what the free exercise of religion entails," transferring "a highly personal right to a secular corporation" via "a man-made legal fiction." If the Obamacare ruling had been Judge Sykes' first foray through the right-wing judicial looking glass she would hardly have made the final cut in the contest for the nation's worst judge. But the Obamacare case is only one of many. A Bush appointee to the 7th Circuit, the 56-year-old Sykes is the former spouse of Milwaukee right-wing radio personality Charlie Sykes and a prominent member of the Federalist Society. As a state judge in Milwaukee County, she presided over a 1993 case in which two protesters with long rap sheets were found guilty of blocking access to a reproductive health facility. Compelled by law to impose brief jail terms, Sykes went out of her way during sentencing to praise the defendants for having "the courage of [their] convictions and for the ultimate [anti-abortion] goals" they sought to further.

Also, more line on the cockpit floor..... On the plus side, less cost, the cockpit is clear of traveler obstruction and at anchor you can secure the boom very well with the two sheets pulling against the topping lift/halyard - much less tendency for the boom to swing in some waves and a more secure grab point too.
btw - re the Vang... a missing vang is not deal breaker, but should be way up on your list of things to do as soon as possible....
Check if other boats in the class use a vang.
In some cases, if it was designed for, the goose neck or boom can break.

Spouse(s) | Gough Whitlam (m. 1942-2012, her death) |
Children | Nicholas Tony Stephen Catherine |
Margaret Elaine Whitlam, AO (19 November 1919 – 17 March 2012) was a prominent Australian and the wife of Prime Minister of Australia Gough Whitlam. She was a published author, social worker and former champion swimmer, having represented Australia at the 1938 British Empire Games in Sydney.[1]
Early life[edit]
Born Margaret Dovey in Bondi, New South Wales,[2] she was the daughter of Wilfred Robert "Bill" Dovey, a New South Wales Supreme Court judge.[3] After attending SCEGGS Darlinghurst, where she excelled at sport,[2] and towered over most other women standing 188 cm (6'2") tall. Dovey graduated with a degree in social studies from the University of Sydney in the same year as she rose to national prominence as a swimmer. Soon after, she commenced working at Parramatta District Hospital.[1]
Marriage and children[edit]
She married Gough Whitlam a Royal Australian Air Force officer in April 1942 in St Michael's Church of England, Vaucluse. Gough's 194 cm (6'4") height was one of the reasons that Margaret described him as "quite the most delicious thing I'd ever seen".[4] Her husband was elected to federal parliament in 1952 and became federal opposition leader and parliamentary leader of the Australian Labor Party in 1967. Margaret was described as "deeply and loyally in love" with her husband.[5]
Together, they had four children: Tony (7 January 1944), who has been a barrister, a federal MP and a judge; Nicholas (6 December 1945), who became a prominent merchant banker and businessman; Stephen (April 1950),[6]a diplomat,[7] and Caroline Whitlam (2 February 1954),[8] who later changed her name to Catherine Dovey after she lost a job because of her family name;[8] she is married to former News Limited Chief Executive Officer Kim Williams.[9] In between Stephen and Catherine, in about 1952 or 1953, Margaret Whitlam had miscarried another child.[8]
Advocacy and public life[edit]
Upon Gough Whitlam's election as Prime Minister, Margaret Whitlam quickly became known as an outspoken advocate for issues including women's rights, particularly abortion law reform and conservation; influenced by Germaine Greer.[2] She faced widespread public criticism about her proactive role; however she refused to limit herself to traditional preconceptions. She was a regular guest speaker on radio and television, and wrote a column for the magazine Woman's Day, where she offered an insight into the life of a prime minister's wife.[2] Whitlam was outspoken about the dismissal of the Whitlam government in 1975, saying she told her husband that he should have torn up the letter of dismissal from the Governor-General, Sir John Kerr.[1]
After the end of her husband's political career, Whitlam held a number of public and cultural offices, including serving as inaugural chair of the Australian Opera Conference; and on the boards of Sydney Dance Company between 1977 and 1982;[9] International Literacy Year, International Women's Year (1975), and the Law Foundation of New South Wales.[1] In 2006, she criticised Janette Howard, wife of then-Prime Minister John Howard, for what she considered a lack of commitment to community activities.[10]
Whitlam was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia in 1983 for services to the community.[11] In addition Margaret Whitlam was in 1995 awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters from the University of New England and in 1997 became one of the one hundred Australian National Living Treasures.[9] In 2001 received a Centenary Medal "For outstanding service to Australian society and to the Australian community".[12] In 2007 both she and her husband were made national life members of the Australian Labor Party.[1][2]

- Whitlam, Margaret (2001). My Other World. Allen & Unwin. p. 221. ISBN 978-1-86508-540-1.
Death and funeral[edit]
Whitlam died in a Sydney hospital on 17 March 2012, following a fall.[2][9] The Whitlam family declined an offer from the Australian Government for a state funeral.[13] A memorial service was held in St James' Church, Sydney on 23 March 2012. The Rev Andrew Sempell gave the sermon, taking love as his theme, using readings from Isaiah 43:1-5 & 1 Corinthians 13. He said: "Margaret Whitlam was indeed a gifted and talented person who used her abilities for the benefit of others, and we celebrate that."[14] The service was attended by her widower Gough Whitlam, Prime Minister Julia Gillard,[15] former Prime Ministers Malcolm Fraser, Bob Hawke, Paul Keating and Kevin Rudd, as well as other present and past politicians.[16][17]
