Improved alumni website coming soon
As of next week, Detroit Mercy alumni will have a new way to stay in touch with the University.
Forever Titans is the new, improved Alumni Relations site. It will be the new way the University will reach alumni and how alumni will interact with the University.
The new website will offer event listings, how to sign up for those events and photo galleries of past events.
We've included a user-friendly directory of alumni searchable by class, degree, location and employer so alumni can get back in touch with people they met at Detroit Mercy. There's also a job board that can be posted to directly by alumni who are looking for people like themselves, educated in the Jesuit and Mercy traditions.
One of the features we're most excited about is a mentoring platform to promote organic networking opportunities.
Some Detroit Mercy alumni could benefit immensely from other alumni's academic, professional and personal experiences. We want to make it easy for everyone. In the spirit of Titans helping Titans, we invite alumni to participate in Forever Titans as a mentor. Participation can affect another life, and will allow alumni to feel a stronger connection with the University. To become a mentor check the "Willing to be a mentor" box while creating your profile.
Similarly, alumni who are fresh out of college and looking for some wisdom, and advice about life beyond Detroit Mercy, can turn to Forever Titans. They can search other alumni by their willingness to help, career fields, program fields, etc. From there they can simply view their profile and send a message to request mentorship.
"We think this new platform is a real benefit for Detroit Mercy alumni to connect with each other and the University," said Peggy Pattison, director of Alumni Relations. "This is one of many ways we are hoping to build a stronger bond between our alumni and the University, and we think it will be a powerful one."
Look for an email next week telling you how to sign up for Forever Titans: It's easy!

I have been such a sucker for good statement coats, that when this one popped up on Shopbop's website, I bought it right away, also assuming-"it would get sold out faster than a flash sale." I really feel fortunate to have ordered this without any ado, coz it did get sold out in flash. Well, sometimes website stalking just pays off.
coat- C/Meo collective c/o Shopbop
black blouse- Zara ( with a frilly hem )
boots- Steve Madden
bag- Shoedazzle ( a satchel option )
I have had so many strangers, both on the streets and the airport compliment me on this coat, that it has now started to feel like a treasured piece in my closet. The fit, the style and the broad belt at the back especially, just blows my mind. I've worn it with a jumpsuit ( Instagram pic only ) and plan on wearing it over everything.
The pictures for today don't really do justice to those mint jeans, which otherwise appear white here. It's probably due to too much exposure. Truth be told, I am enjoying how under that winter daylight the mint jeans gives an illusion of a subtle shade of white, making this look inadvertently on point with yet another "white after labor day is allowed " trend.
Congratulations to Alicia of Between the Pearls, she is the featured blogger of the week.
Now it's your turn to share your stylish looks.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

George Lillo
George Lillo (3 February 1691 – 4 September 1739)[1] was an English playwright and tragedian. He was also a jeweller in London. He produced his first stage work, Silvia, or The Country Burial, in 1730, and a year later his most famous play, The London Merchant. He wrote at least six more plays before his death in 1739, including The Christian Hero (1735), Fatal Curiosity (1737) and Marina (1738).[2]
George Lillo
|3 February 1691
Moorfields, London
|4 September 1739
Rotherhithe, London
|Notable works
|The London Merchant
George Lillo was born in Moorfields, or Moorgate, in the City of London.[3] He became a partner in his father's goldsmith's and jewellery business.[2]
Early stage worksEdit
Lillo wrote at least eight plays between 1730 and his death in 1739. His first work in the theatre was the ballad opera Silvia, or The Country Burial in 1730. He wrote it in order to reproduce the success of John Gay's The Beggar's Opera, but Lillo's play received mixed reviews and only showed for three nights at Lincoln's Inn Fields, in November 1730, and for a one-night revival at Covent Garden in March 1738, reduced to two acts.[3]
The following year, Lillo wrote his most famous play, The London Merchant, or The History of George Barnwell (1731), which is considered one of the most popular and frequently produced plays of the 18th century.[3] In October 1731 it was presented by royal command in the presence of George II and Queen Caroline.[3] It was in the genre that came to be called melodrama.[4] In The London Merchant, the subject is an apprentice who is seduced by Sarah Millwood, a "lady of pleasure," and then struggles to atone for his indiscretion throughout the remainder of the play, with little success. Lillo shows how "evil breeds evil," and Barnwell's initial dalliance eventually leads him to rob his master and murder his uncle in an attempt to secure the money needed to save Millwood's ostensibly endangered reputation. Her seduction, however, is simply a ruse to exploit his naïveté, so her reputation is never actually in danger.[5] Lillo redefined the subject of dramatic tragedy and demonstrated that middle and lower class citizens were worthy of tragic downfalls.[6][7] The 17th century ballad about a murder in Shropshire was the historical foundation for the play. Lillo dedicates the play to Sir John Eyles, a prominent member of the merchant class in London, in a letter before the text and plot begins. Lillo's domestic tragedy reflects a turning of the theatre away from the court and toward the town.[5] Dickens introduced "the affecting tragedy of George Barnwell" into his novel Great Expectations.[8] It was dismissed as a "nauseous sermon" by Charles Lamb, though much admired by Lillo's contemporaries Samuel Richardson and Colley Cibber, who acted in the original production of the play.
Lillo revived the genre of play referred to as domestic tragedy (or bourgeois tragedy).[9] Even though the Jacobean stage had flirted with merchant and artisan plays in the past (with, for example, Thomas Dekker and Thomas Heywood), The London Merchant was a significant change in theatre, and in tragedy in particular.[6] Instead of dealing with heroes from classical literature or the Bible, presented with spectacle and grand stage effects, his subjects concerned everyday people, such as his audience, the theater-going middle classes, and his tragedies were conducted on the intimate scale of households, rather than kingdoms.[6][7][10]
Lillo was concerned that plays be morally correct and in keeping with Christian values.[5][11] In 1734 he produced a patriotic masque, Britannia and Batavia, for the royal wedding of Anne, the Princess Royal, to William IV of Orange-Nassau.[12] His next play was The Christian Hero (1735), a retelling of the story of Skanderbeg.[3]
Later yearsEdit
Later in the decade, Lillo wrote Fatal Curiosity (1737) and Marina (1738).[13] He based Marina on the play Pericles by William Shakespeare.[3] His last play, Elmerick, or Justice Triumphant, was performed posthumously in 1740.[13][14] Lillo adapted the anonymous Elizabethan play Arden of Feversham, which was posthumously performed, first in 1759. It was based on the life of Alice Arden.[13]
In his own day, his later plays, other than Merchant, were only moderate successes, and after his death old style tragedies and comedies continued to dominate the stage.[citation needed] All of Lillo's plays were produced in London, and only three of them produced any profit.[2]
Lillo died at age 48, in 1739, in Rotherhithe, London.[3]

HONG KONG — With oil prices at their highest level in more than two years because of unrest in North Africa and the Middle East, the Chinese government plans to announce strict five-year goals for energy conservation in the next two weeks, China energy specialists said Friday.
Bejing's emphasis on saving energy reflects concerns about national security and the effects of high fuel costs on inflation, China's export competitiveness and the country's pollution problems.
Any energy policy moves by Beijing hold global implications, given that China is the world's biggest consumer of energy and largest emitter of greenhouse gases. And even the new efficiency goals assume that China's overall energy consumption will grow, to meet the needs of the nation's 1.3 billion people and its rapidly expanding economy.
As a net importer of oil, China tends to view its energy needs as a matter of national security. And so, even as Beijing tries to quell any signs of the Arab world's social unrest striking a political chord with Chinese citizens, the government is also intent on not letting similar upheaval impinge on its energy needs.
Zhang Guobao, who was China's longtime energy czar until his retirement in January and is still a power broker on energy issues, said Friday that China must undertake an "arduous" task to protect its security. "Oil security is the most important part of achieving energy security," Mr. Zhang told the official Xinhua news agency. "Preparations for alternative energies should be made as soon as possible."Continue reading the main story
China has placed a big bet on renewable energy, emerging as the world's biggest and lowest-cost manufacturer of wind turbines and solar panels. But the country remains heavily reliant on coal for its electricity. And its oil imports are surging after auto sales have surpassed the American market in each of the last two years.
China has also moved ahead of the United States as the biggest buyer of oil and natural gas from Saudi Arabia, which has so far avoided social upheaval but is on Mideast analysts' watch lists. That oil is shipped in tankers that travel along sea lanes controlled by India and the United States, which adds to Beijing's jitters.
Iran, hardly a bastion of stability, is another large supplier of crude oil to China.
And while Russia in the current geopolitical context is looking like a relatively secure supplier of energy, a large pipeline to China from Russia, completed this winter, so far supplies only 3 percent of China's crude oil.
An important feature of the five-year plan is its call to double the share of natural gas in Chinese energy consumption, to 8 percent in 2015 from 4 percent last year, according to Fatih Birol, the chief economist of the multilateral International Energy Agency in Paris. This will make China a natural buyer of large quantities of Russian gas, making it a competitor to Europe, which already relies heavily on gas from Russia.
According to an estimate by Wood Mackenzie, a global energy consulting firm, China imports nearly two-thirds of its oil and is on track to pass the United States in the percentage of imported oil this year. China was a net exporter as recently as 1992, before the demands of its economic boom created an insatiable energy appetite at home.
As part of its effort to curb oil demand, the Chinese government has already been pursuing an aggressive program to develop electric cars, although these would run at least initially on a national grid that still relies heavily on coal.
China aims to limit energy consumption in 2015 to four billion metric tons of coal or its equivalent in other fuels, Mr. Zhang said. An energy specialist in Beijing said that he had also been told the same figure by several people.
Even a goal of four billion metric tons of coal or its equivalent represents an annual increase of 4.24 percent from last year's consumption of a little more than 3.2 billion tons.
No decisions have been made yet on how the almost entirely state-owned energy sector would allocate the limits by city, province or electric utility. This is already causing considerable anxiety within China, said the specialist, who insisted on anonymity because of the government's sensitivity about goals that have not yet been announced.
"It's a political target, it's being taken without a lot of internal consultation," he said, before adding a Chinese proverb to describe the unhappy reaction of power producers and users already briefed on the new policy: "It's like a whole lot of ants are being thrown in a hot wok."
The Chinese economy has repeatedly grown considerably faster than government forecasts. But the government has come much closer to its energy goals because it owns all of the electricity distribution systems. And it has controlling stakes in the oil, gas and electricity companies and many coal mining companies.
The last five year-plan, which ended on Dec. 31, called for the country to reduce by 20 percent the energy it used per renminbi of economic output in 2010, compared to 2005. To try meeting that goal, Beijing required the governments of every province and city to achieve 20 percent improvements. Local officials, in turn, set similar goals for the 200 largest companies in each province and city.
But China fell badly behind its goal in late 2009 and early last year. The government's economic stimulus program, in response to the global financial crisis, produced huge spending on highways, high-speed rail lines and other infrastructure that required lots of steel and cement, which are energy-intensive to produce.
Premier Wen Jiabao responded last May by starting a national campaign to improve energy efficiency and soon vowed an "iron hand"to enforce compliance. By September, the government was ordering production lines to close at 2,000 factories.
The campaign reached extremes last autumn and early winter, with some town officials shutting off electricity and heat to businesses, homes and even hospitals in desperate bids to avoid censure for missing their goals.
Despite the measures, the government fell slightly short. Senior officials initially said in January that the country had "basically" met the 20 percent goal. But statistics issued since then show an improvement of only 19.1 percent over the last five years.
Meeting the new target of no more than four billion metric tons of coal or its equivalent will require further improvements in efficiency if the economy expands 7 percent a year in the coming years.
Much greater efficiency gains would be needed if the economy grows even faster, as most economists predict. The Chinese economy expanded 10.3 percent last year.
Mr. Wen and others for years have resisted setting total energy consumption goals and have only issued efficiency goals — precisely because overall consumption goals could require drastic measures to meet if the economy surges.
There was no immediate explanation available on Friday, other than troubles in the Arab world, for why the government had now decided to embrace an overall target.
The goals in China's new five-year plan are consistent with the International Energy Agency's "new policies" plan for climate change, a middle course that represents an improvement from current policies, Mr. Birol said. But he noted that the Chinese goals did not go far enough to meet what the agency considers necessary to prevent world temperatures from rising by more than 2 degrees Celsius, an increase that many scientists fear as potentially leading to very broad environmental changes.
Mr. Zhang and other Chinese officials have made little mention of climate change, which has ranked far behind energy security as a priority in Chinese policy making.
Zhou Yongkang, one of the nine members of the Politburo Standing Committee that runs China and the top law enforcement official of the Chinese Communist Party, is an oil engineer who spent most of his career rising to the top of the country's oil industry. He retains considerable influence over energy policy even though his job now is crushing internal dissent.
Most recently, Mr. Zhou has overseen efforts to round up dissidents and make sure that the "Jasmine Revolution" does not spread from the Arab region to China. Premier Wen and other top officials have also warned recently that rising prices for many commodities pose a threat to social stability.Continue reading the main story

Comparison is a confidence killer
Many times when we see someone that looks nice or seemingly happy we subconsciously and consciously compare our circumstance, situations and even entire lives to their highlight reel.
What is a highlight reel?
It's kind of like a movie trailer. Think about a new movie for a second. Normally when it comes out you'll see a trailer of it online and on TV. They always show the best parts of the movie to get you excited, revved up and ready to run to the box office and go grab those tickets once the movie comes out. Sometimes we'll watch the movie and we'll realize that the only good part of it was the part that we saw in the trailer.
The truth is, we have no idea what a person may be going through. We have no idea what may be going on in their lives. Most times people are not going to tell you when things are not looking good in their lives. They're going to show you the best parts because they want to appear happy and they want you to cheer for them. You may want to be happy but you don't have to do that at the expense of your own confidence or ability to be comfortable with where we arein your own life.
Trust me, I've been there! Constantly comparing where I was to where others were. It's a painful and discouraging place to be and I eventually got tired of it!! Overcoming that comparison mindset is a process but, it's necessary and doable. Here are 3 tips on how you too can overcome…
- Understand life is a PROCESS
Great things take time and nothing happens overnight. Everything requires work and patience.
- Trust that God CAN and WILL do it.
God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all you can ever ask or think Ephesians 3:20
3. Congratulate without comparing
Pray!! Get to a point where you can hear good news about someone else and you can genuinely congratulate them without allowing yourself to compare. I prayed!! I asked God to bless the person and to allow them to be successful and to allow me to be able to be genuinely happy for them.
The next time you feel inadequate ask yourself "Have I been comparing or congratulating?"
Be BOLD
Be BEAUTIFUL
Be YOU

Introduction. The purpose of this handbook is to help you understand how Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) and Post-Secondary Education work and to explain all the roles and responsibilities of the individuals who are involved in the process.
This manual pertains to training programs, both educational and vocational, which qualify for and participate in the Federal Financial Student Aid Program. Attached is the two-page Financial Aid Information Form that will be used to identify your costs, resources and VR's contribution towards your program.
While we have attempted to identify the important issues and concerns, we know you will have questions. Please contact your VR Counselor when this occurs. Remember that good planning and frequent and open communication with all the players is the key to success in this area.
What Does the Law Say? Federal laws and the Maine VR rules say that if post-secondary education is required for you to attain an employment goal (job), VR may be able to help. The laws also say, however, that VR support for post-secondary education cannot be provided unless you make maximum efforts to secure assistance from other sources, including federal student aid.
What Is Financial Aid? Financial aid is designed to help individuals meet their educational expenses when their own resources are not sufficient. A student who believes that his resources and those of his/her family are not sufficient to pay for all the costs of attendance (tuition, room and board, books, transportation, campus activities, etc.) should apply for financial aid through the Financial Aid Office of the institution he or she plans to attend. Three types of aid are available.
- Grants – gifts and scholarships which do not have to be repaid.
- Loans – money borrowed to cover school costs. It must be repaid, usually with interest, over a specified period of time. This usually takes place after the student has left school or graduated.
- Work Study – employment which enables a student to earn a portion of school costs.
The Federal Government contributes to all three types of student financial aid.
What Is Family Contribution? The family contribution is the amount of money the family of a student is expected to contribute toward college expenses. The family includes the student and the student's parents in the case of a dependent student, or the student and spouse, if any, in the case of an independent student. The amount the family is expected to contribute is calculated by a standardized needs formula that takes into account the family's financial resources (income and assets), family size and basic living expenses. VR must accept the family contribution amount provided by the FAO Office. All students applying for Federal financial assistance are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). There is no charge to the student or the student's family for the processing of this form or for determining the student's eligibility for Federal financial assistance.
Some students receive little or no financial support from their parents when they enroll in a post-secondary education program. A student may qualify as financially independent if he or she is twenty-four years of age or older by December 31 of the award year. A student may qualify if he/she is a veteran of the Armed Forces of the United States; is a graduate or professional student; is an orphan or ward of the court; is married; has legal dependents other than a spouse or is a student for whom a financial aid administrator makes a documented determination of independence by reason of other unusual circumstances. The family contribution of an independent student is calculated based upon the income and assets of the student and spouse, if married.
Am I Required to Take a Loan? You are encouraged to take out loans towards your education, but this is not a federal or state requirement. However, most people realize that loans are a necessary part of attending a post-secondary education program. Consider the loans an investment in your future. Also, you may need to consider taking out a loan to cover basic living expenses.
If you have defaulted on a previous student loan, you will be unable to receive any grants, additional student loans or work study assistance. You will need to demonstrate that you have made a reasonable effort to clear your default status before VR will consider replacing any grant award. As stated previously, VR support for post-secondary training cannot be provided unless you make maximum efforts to secure assistance from other sources.
How Does Vocational Rehabilitation fit Into the Financial Aid Process? Once post-secondary education has been identified as a service you need to reach your employment goal, a coordinated, multi-step effort involving the institution, VR and you begins.
STEP 1. You will be asked to fill out SECTION A, PART 1 of the VR Financial Aid Information Exchange Form (a copy is attached). Once SECTION A, PART 1 is completed, this is sent to the Financial Aid Officer (FAO) at the institution you plan to attend.
STEP 2. SECTION B, PART 1 of the form is completed by the FAO using the information you provide, the number of courses, where you will live, etc. This section identifies your education-related expenses, expected contributions and all grants, loans, scholarships and/or work-study support. The result of these calculations is called your Unmet Need which is costs minus resources. The FAO keeps a copy and a copy is forwarded to your VR Counselor. Your counselor is responsible for getting a copy to you.
STEP 3. You and your VR Counselor will take the information from SECTION B of PART 1 and complete all sections of PART 2 of the form. The reason for completing this form is to identify your actual costs of attending the program (vs. standard figures used by FAO), your resources from all sources, any disability-related expenses and to specify the amount of financial support you will receive from VR. Based on the information in Part 2, the Notification of Vocational Rehabilitation Funding form will be completed with a copy forwarded to the FAO, a copy remains with VR and you receive a copy.
STEP 4. Many people will not need to be concerned with this step. However, if your VR Counselor has increased the Unmet Need amount due to higher actual costs such as transportation, childcare etc., the FAO will also need to increase your budget and the Unmet Need. If there are disability-related expenses provided from VR, your budget and the Unmet Need will need to be adjusted. None of these actions should decrease the amount of financial aid you will receive from the institution.
STEP 5. The final step in the process is for VR to forward the specified financial support to the institution.
What Educational Expenses are Considered Disability Related? The student with a disability is often faced with additional expenses not incurred by other students. Examples of these expenses include:
- Special equipment related to the disability and its maintenance;
- Expense of services for personal use or study such as readers, interpreters, notetakers or personal care attendants;
- Transportation necessary to pursue an academic program, if regular transportation is not accessible;
- Medical expenses relating directly to the individual's disability that are not covered by insurance.
Students should be sure to inform the FAO of disability-related expenses that may previously have been covered by the family budget. These may also include food and veterinary bills for guide dogs, batteries for hearing aids and Telecommunication Devices for the Deaf (TTY), and/or costs of recruiting and training readers or personal care attendants. Often, leaving home necessitates the purchase of new or additional equipment that will allow the student to be independent at school. Some of the special equipment and support services may be available at the post-secondary institution. You and your VR Counselor should check with the 504 Coordinator or Office of Disability Support Services at the institution to see what is available there.
What Are My Responsibilities? Your responsibilities include applying for and completing the Financial Aid information in a timely manner. You must demonstrate academic progress by carrying a course load of at least six credit hours per semester. You need to remain in good academic standing with the institution.
You will be encouraged to participate in the costs to attend the program through work-study and/or a student loan. Your VR Counselor also may ask you to explore other resources, which could assist in some post-secondary expenses. Examples of these resources include the Plan for Achieving Self Support (PASS), ASPIRE, VA and Workforce Development Center.
You will be required to notify your VR Counselor of any changes in your status, i.e. full to part-time, and of any problems you are encountering at the institution
Places for Additional Information. Your VR Counselor and FAO should be able to answer the questions you have. Here are some places for more information.
- The Federal Government has published a booklet called The Student Guide: Financial Aid from the U. S. Department of Education. Free copies may be obtained by writing Federal Student Aid Programs, Box 84, Washington, DC20044 or by calling 800-433-3243 or 800-730-8913 (TTY).
- The Finance Authority Of Maine (FAME) is a program that may be a resource for students who want to further their education. In some cases, eligibility is possible for those who have defaulted on a previous loan, if certain criteria are met. For more information write to FAME, 119 State House Station, Augusta, ME04333 or call 623-3263 or 1-800-228-3734.
- The Client Assistance Program (CAP) is a federally funded advocacy program that can provide information and, if necessary, representation to clients/applicants of VR. For more information contact CAP through CARES, Inc or call 1-800-773-7055 (voice and TTY).
A Final Word … Financial aid is based upon a partnership between the student, parents, post-secondary institutions, federal government and agencies such as VR. The financial aid process can be complex and time consuming. It requires coordination, cooperation and communication between the FAO, the VR Counselor and you. Ask questions when things are not clear to you. Make sure you understand the roles and responsibilities of all the players. Leave enough time to complete all the paperwork. Be aware of the deadlines of the two organizations. And remember – good planning and frequent communication are the keys to success. Good luck!

Got a Case of the Mondays? Fear not! Columnist and TheJetsBlog Podcast co-host Corey Griffin has you covered every Monday morning with thoughts, ideas and opinions about all things Jets.The Jets' victory over the hapless Raiders Sunday was more about postponing the ending than defining the tale.
Rex Ryan was neither fired nor extended due to the result and Geno Smith did not suddenly turn the corner because of a better-than-expected performance.
The Jets took advantage of a team worse off than them, dealing with a historically troublesome trip East. In a must-win game, the offense and special teams put forth commendable efforts, while the defense continued to crack and fray, particularly in the secondary.
None of this was all that surprising, although it felt like we were watching a different offense entirely given the ineptitude of the past month.
The best lesson to take from Sunday was the return of Geno's confidence, a trait that had ended up on milk cartons instead of on the field recently. While the previous Jets quarterback to be benched responded with one of his worst games ever, Smith took advantage of a porous Oakland defense and a mostly-healthy group of receivers to fashion his best game in two months.
Perhaps the most encouraging part of Smith's game Sunday was not through the air, but on the ground. On multiple occasions, including one near the end zone, Smith sensed the pocket breaking down or saw an opportunity to run and took off. He was decisive with the ball in his hands, which usually means good things.
Take this stat into account: When Smith has four or more rushing attempts, as he did Sunday, the Jets are a combined 5-0.
While Smith isn't quite Russell Wilson or RG3, the correlation between his running prowess and the Jets' victories is telling. The question now revolves around Smith's ability to carry that performance forward into, gasp, a two-game winning streak. The Jets road trip next weekend offers no favors – a talented and dangerous Panthers squad coming of a bad defeat and needing a win to maintain their spot in the NFC wild card race.
Smith's chances are boosted by the Jets' injury report, which no longer includes Jeremy Kerley and Santonio Holmes. It's no coincidence that the worst stretch of Geno's season came with both players on the sideline. On Sunday, Holmes turned a first-quarter throw that was nearly a foot above his head into a 32-yard gain, while Kerley caught his first touchdown in six weeks by out-jumping a defender for a ball thrown a second too late.
On the surface, they were huge plays in their own right, but take into account that they bookended a poor throw to Kellen Winslow for what should've been a wide-open touchdown and Smith's 20th interception of the season and it's easy to see how the game could've trailed off just as quickly as it picked up.
In the next three weeks, the Jets will be facing much tougher teams than the lost-in-the-woods bunch that lined up across for them Sunday. The Panthers, the better-than-their-record Browns and the rival Dolphins could very easily represent a second three-game losing streak – a skid that would likely send Ryan out the door on Black Monday.
While Sunday's win was important and contained uplifting moments, the Jets will need to be much better if they plan to win two out of the next three and keep hope alive that Ryan will be back in 2014. That means no collisions between Ed Reed and Antonio Cromartie, some semblance of the pass rush that dominated games earlier this year and enough plays from the receivers early in games to allow Smith to settle down and not feel pressured to do it all by himself.
It might be too much to ask. Hell, entering Sunday asking for an offensive touchdown felt like too much.
The Jets won the game they were supposed to win. Now, they have to win the ones their coach needs to save his job.

The Diplomatic Security Service is the internal investigating arm of the United States State Department. The DSS, according to CBS News (of all places), has alleged that the United States State Department has covered up world-wide, illegal behavior by their operatives. These shenanigans have occurred under Clinton's aegis, "ranging from sexual assaults to an underground drug ring." Not Slick Willy's administration; these cover-ups took place on Hillary Clinton's watch.
CBS cites a memo specifying eight examples of misconduct, including that of a State Department official in Beirut: "who engaged in sexual assaults with foreign nationals hired as embassy guards and . . . members of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's security detail engaged prostitutes while on official trips in foreign countries." The report says the activity was "endemic."
The DSS was, reportedly, not even permitted to establish cases for the crimes once they were uncovered. Former State Department internal investigator, Aurelia Fedenisn, went on the record: "We also uncovered several allegations of criminal wrongdoing in cases, some of which never became cases.
Often times, other DSS agents were simply told to back off of investigations of high-ranking State Department members . . . hostile intelligence services allow criminal behavior to continue. . . . In one such cover-up, investigators were told to stop probing the case of a U.S. ambassador who was suspected of patronizing prostitutes in a public park. The memo states that the ambassador was permitted to return to his post despite having, routinely ditched . . . his protective security detail in order to solicit sexual favors from prostitutes."
Those orders, according to Fedenisn and her fellow investigators, came from "high up" in the State Department.
Ms. Fedenisn was not the only one that was upset by the "some-animals-are-more-equal-than-others" treatment that high ranking bureaucrats were getting. In an effort to disinfect the corruption with daylight, Investigator Fedenisn and her fellows issued an internal report.
The report, concerned with the broad, negative effects such actions were having on the DSS's credibility, reached the Inspector General. He, in turn, was angered by the black eye such hanky-panky gave the DSS. He issued his own report. He concluded by stating: "Hindering such cases calls into question the integrity of the investigative process can result in counterintelligence vulnerabilities and can allow criminal behavior to continue."
No kidding? Like the ambassador addicted to trawling for trollops in the park? The Attorney General's ire didn't seem to prevent investigator Fedenisn from becoming "former" investigator Fedenisn. Investigators from the State Department showed up at her door, a couple of hours after the charges in her report were filed.
The scandals currently rocking the regime may appear to dwarf these cover-ups; they don't. Yes, all governments run shady operations; but the corruption of this regime is an order of magnitude worse. The U.S. State Department has been a law unto itself for longer than anyone cares to remember.
There is no excuse for putting the fox in charge of the hen house. As long as we are considering ridding ourselves of rotten, government agencies, we should put the State Department on the list.

'Breathe' - a housing prototype for eco-optimised urban living was recently showcased at Salone del Mobile, Milan. IAnD reviews the proto for practicability…
"What happens, when we view houses not only as a space in which to live, but as an active part of our environment?" Addressing this practical social and urban issue, MINI LIVING - a lab platform working on urban living solutions, has teamed up with New York based architects SO-IL, to conceive a compact space, conscious of its surrounding environment.
Based on MINI's principles of 'creative use of space' and 'minimal footprint', Breathe offers solutions to the challenges of space and environment posed by conventional living. It inspires active living. SO-IL principal, Ilias Papageorgiou, explains, "Breathe brings its residents into direct contact with their environment. By making living an active experience, the installation encourages visitors to confront our tendency to take resources for granted."
Installed on a 50 sq. m. unused urban plot in an alleyway, the modular steel frame structure is designed to accommodate three people in up to six functional spaces; and can be dismantled and reassembled anywhere. Housing basic living areas starting from the kitchen on the ground floor (catering to essential social interface), sleeping and washing areas are stacked capping the environment with a roof garden.
The vertically designed translucent urban microclimate is characterised by an intelligent use of basic resources like air, water and light. The building envelope is made from a flexible, light, permeable PVC mesh filter that neutralises the outside air, and is replaceable to suit any climate. Plants on a roof garden further enhance air quality. In terms of light, the translucency of the building envelope floods the space with ever-changing natural daylight. And as for the water, the roof collects rainwater and feeds the kitchen and wash areas below.
After MINI LIVING's exploration of shared collaborative spaces with the installation of Do Disturb and Forest, Breathe is third in the series and offers a holistic approach to sustainability. However, how the translucent envelope that clearly shows silhouettes despite spatial divisions is going to afford the much-needed privacy remains a question mark; because even if the designers have considered the issue, which they surely must have, they've refrained from sharing it.

This, site I believe, ask one of the very last things I had not yet re-posted from my old site (Post-Punk Junk): two CDs worth of original 8-bit NES music. With bands like Crystal Castles now very much in the forefront of hyped electronic music, I think it's cool to hear the sounds that they heard from their childhood (and mine and probably yours as well).
Just a few of the games whose music is included here are: Blaster Master, The Legend Of Zelda, Rygar, R.C. Pro Am, Excitebike, Kid Icarus, Faxanadu, Metal Gear, Castlevania, Metriod, Clu Clu Land, Double Dragon, Ducktales, and of course, Super Mario Bros. –

See hardware properties and use the show hidden for details.
Might see clues in event logs.
I'd turn off to full power off, remove ac the press power button a few times then remove all usb devices and power up. Then attach one usb device to see if you had an overload condition.
If software issue then use restore point.
1/3 of highway deaths are caused by drunks. The rest are by people who can't drive any better than a drunk.

Whether it's renting out your spare room, looking after a neighbour's dog, or just selling off the extra veggies from your garden, there's no shortage of ways to turn your home into a money-maker without having to sell up and move out.
Here are 10 tips to help you join thousands of Aussies already earning extra cash from their home.
1. Open house
Airbnb is the posterchild of the sharing economy and according to Airbnb over 87,000 Australians have already registered to rent out their spare room, or in some cases whole house, to domestic and international travellers. It's free for homeowners, and you can set availability to suit you. Although rental incomes vary depending on location, availability and duration of stay, Aussie hosts earn on average $4,500 a year according to Airbnb.
2. Parking privileges
Parkhound is an online marketplace that connects drivers with property owners who have a parking space they want to lease. With 10,000 registered parking spaces in Australia they've processed over $5m in bookings since launching in 2013. It's free to join; you just need to sign up, set the price and availability, and they do the rest.
3. Space saver
If you've got room to spare but don't want a house guest, then make money renting out your garage, attic, or spare room as storage. Spacer is an online marketplace that connects people with space to people who need storage. Earn cash from someone else's desire to declutter and turn your spare room into a source of income.
4. Pet profits
You could earn between $15 and $30 a night pet sitting cats or dogs in your home while their owners are away. Sites such as Petcloud match pet owners with local pet carers and allow you to choose the kind of pet you want to care for. You can even boost your income with extra services such as walking, pick up and drop off or looking after multiple pets.
5. Home movies
If your home is well kept, in a great location, and has lots of good parking, then register with a photographic film and TV location specialists such as Scene It Locations, or Australian Film Locations. Homeowners can earn anywhere from $800 to $2,000 a day from a photo shoot, film or TV series that uses their home as a location backdrop.
6. Data dividends
Wifyer is a tech innovation that lets you access a mobile crowdsourced Wi-Fi network, and earn points by sharing your unused data. The app enables your smartphone to identify Wi-Fi connectivity sharers in your area then connect to share with one click. Redeem points earned by sharing to connect anywhere in the world.
7. Gardeners Gains
Spare Harvest is an online marketplace for gardeners to sell, share or swap produce. If you're a keen gardener regularly growing more than you eat, you can make money selling your extra produce through this community, and feel good about reducing waste.
8. Campsite coffers
Turn your garden into a campsite and earn anything from $15 a night hosting campers, travellers and backpackers. UK based website Camp in My Garden includes Australian gardens in its global listings. It's free to register although donations are invited. Guests need to be able to access to a tap and a WC.
9. Tutor at home
Turn your spare room into a music room or classroom and earn money selling your skills and knowledge. Whether it's a massage studio or a language lab, there's no shortage of ways to earn income from your extra space. The Australian Tutoring Association is a useful place to register and list your services.
10. Host a student
Hosting an international student in your home is a great way to earn a little extra cash and learn about other cultures. Host families can earn from $265 a week, although that needs to cover meals and snacks as well as the cost of an additional person in your home. Web sites such as Oz Homestay can help you find a suitable student.
Before you sign up
It's worth checking with your insurer, home loan provider, and local council about any possible legal or contractual restrictions before you sign up to the sharing economy, and like any regular source of income, there are potential tax obligations.

The Soul of America: New Beginnings 22
The Third Legend: America Enters the Underworld
We have spoken of the legend of Amasis, the myth, really, that resulted in the explosion that formed the Hudson Valley and the Hudson river, the river of tears. We then spoke of the Legend of the Salamander, the elemental fire being, this particular one, the being of greed. In the legend we see he is actually a fallen angel, a 'good' being, who took a wrong turn by becoming too interested in the material world. In the legend, he also appears as the young man who falls in love with Mary, the daughter of Hugo, the head of the group running the forge. Mary's pure love helps this young man (the transformed salamander) return to the spiritual worlds — but greed escapes into the world. (Oh, greed, is a necessity in the world — what becomes of it depends on how we meet it — right now it has a clear hold on this country.)
This legend also features New York, Manhattan.The atomic bomb, the culmination of the Manhattan Project (the word "Manhattan" is Indian, and refers 'evil place' – don't literalize this! — it is the amazing art and intellectual dimension of Manhattan that brings balance to this word.). The Manhattan Project – much went on in Manhattan – offices of the secret project were in the high-rises (also a metaphor of 'America"); uranium was stockpiled on Long Island; the bomb was constructed in Los Alamos, New Mexico; was exploded on July 16, 1945, at a place with the code name of "Trinity", near Socorro, New Mexico. The bomb as an 'anti-Trinity'. And one that releases even deeper forces that assist the spirits of greed. You recall that at the moment of the explosion of the bomb, Robert Oppenheimer says: "Now I become Death, destroyer of worlds". That is, the ego, which is the potential of the I AM of Life turns into the I AM of death. Our very identity as human beings now serves the forces of death.
The explosion turned a square mile of the New Mexico landscape into an eerie kind of green glass, now named Trinitinite. No life takes place there. It is a vast 'black hole' that sucks in the true destiny of America so that the forces of greed become stronger and stronger. The Underworld of America opens. It is as if it has been sitting there since
Archetypally, this explosion reaches deep down into the Underworld, there in New Mexico, touching into and joining with the forces of the Aztec gods. The explosion touches into that archetypal impulse of removing the heart from the human being, that is, removing the capacity of creative imagination to make a cultural world; without the imaginal heart, greed meets no resistance.
The fourth and most recent upheaval showing the unfolding of the union of the spirits of greed with the spirits of darkness is 9/11. In the aftershock of terrible grief, we were told to continue living, to go out and shop, to go to Disneyland. It is the moment of the unleashing of the forces of greed full force into the world, because now we are convinced in soul that greed is good.
There is much to be imaged with 9/11. Mystery and controversy still surround this tragedy and thankfully keep the imaginal aspect alive. It is not a simple and uncontested fact that America was attacked by terrorists. The heat from the explosion was intense, and the iron/steel remained molten for weeks, when, if the collapse of the buildings were due to the implosion, the heat would have subsided in days. Many engineers have said that the collapse of the buildings and the fires could not have been due to the impact of the airplanes.
There is also a fault line that runs in the region of the twin towers, and an earthquake of magnitude 4.5 occurred in New York City in 2000. That fault line runs up toward High Tor. These imaginal pictures reveal the continued unfolding of the legend of the destiny of America – the actual destiny – that of meeting – and honoring the spirits of greed – not being possessed by them. We can imagine the 9/11 event as an upheaval, very direct, of the spirits of greed, and only secondarily a literal attack.
Perhaps the most important archetypal image is the explosion of greed that has occurred since 9/11. The stock market continues to soar. So does corruption in the realm of finances, spilling over into the government. The false division between greed and grief, an archetypal image that is one, not two, is nearly completed, and shows up as divided cities of steel skyscrapers and financial centers, and wealth, and incredible corruption, which everyone sees and cannot stop, divided from our grief, which unmet, becomes violence in the world. We cannot stop the greed because it now lives autonomously divided from its regions of unrecognized grieving, which is the formula for untold violence, for violence is untended grieving. And now we have a president who is also the president of greed.
In the next blog, we will look more closely at 9/11, see further images of America entering the Underworld — and also see Who is in the Underworld as the force that can counter greed.

COSMO originally came from a high kill shelter in Texas where dogs generally have just 3 days to be saved before they are killed due to the thousands of stray dogs that sadly are in desperate need of life of the streets and ultimately a home of their own.
COSMO is a sweet, happy, high energy, love bug. His whole body doesn't stop wiggling when he wags his tail. He is confident and full of affection for anyone he meets. COSMO is great with dogs of all sizes and lives at the rescue with 20+ dogs ranging from 6 pound chi mixes to 95 pound German Shepherds and gets on great with them all. We do not have cats at the rescue so we are unable to say how any of our dogs would react around cats.
COSMO does jump up when he is excited and so this will need to be worked on. He does need a family that has the time and patience to work with him on basic and advanced obedience training. By training him with the family it will form a stronger bond and allow boundaries / expectations to be set and also all can learn each other's body language and personalities more.
COSMO uses the dog door to go out and play and to do his own business. He has not had any accidents inside, but he will most likely need to be taught to let you know he needs to go outside as he used to having access to the dog door.
COSMO although a small dog, is high energy and is very responsive and so an active family that will take him on adventures and road trips so that he can explore the world and all the sights, smells and sounds it has to offer would be the best for him. He is just over 6 months and will probably not get much bigger. The shelter did have him labelled as a Welsh Corgi mix, however, when he arrived at the rescue, he appears to be more of a terrier. We have no way of knowing what breed he is,so it is up to individuals to decide what they think he looks like.
We currently feed SPORTMIX Wholesomes Chicken Meal & Rice Formula, a 4* (a per www.dogfoodadvisor.com) GRAIN FREE food along with pro-bioitics and immune support supplements listed on the available dogs page!
COSMO is available for adoption through Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue for an adoption fee of $500. This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the rescue costs of pulling, vetting, health certificate, transport from Texas to Maine, monthly preventatives, supplements, food and anything else that is needed.
If you feel that you have the heart and home to give this handsome boy a wonderful life, please go to our website, under the APPLICATION tab, complete, then submit the APPLICATION. Our process takes around 2-4 days, and ensuring your references are aware that we will be calling, could speed up the process. Once you have been approved, we discuss any questions in regards to the dog you are wanting to adopt, then you complete and submit the contract, make payment and then we can work out the pick up / transport arrangements.
Please do NOT submit an application if you are not looking to take home a new best friend within the next few weeks.
COSMO is located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine. We post in various states along the east coast and Canada where we have had lots of successful adoptions to enable more exposure for these beautiful saved souls. Families will need to be prepared to travel to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend. There is a local lodge in Sebec, a few hotelsl in Dover-Foxcroft (approx 6 miles) and several in Bangor (approx 45 miles). There are also lots of wonderful camp-sites for the more adventurous families and what a great way to get to know your new best friend. If there are opt

Once again, Paul Lukas of UniWatch has ranked the uniforms of the big 4 sports leagues and is now organizing it by city. In the past, I've tabulated those rankings myself, so I'm glad he spared me the work.
Lukas broke the rankings into two tiers — 3 or more team cities and 2 team cities. He also considered the venues of the teams as part of the overall aesthetic.
D.C. (Nationals, Capitals, Redskins, Wizards) came in 14th (again) out of 20 3 or more cities. Here's the UniWatch list:
San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose
New York/New Jersey
St. Louis
Los Angeles/Anaheim
Twin Cities
Tampa/St. Petersburg
Wait – no way are we worse than Miami, the Twin Cities, St. Louis (who won't be on the three team list after the Rams move back to L.A. or perhaps London if that fails), Dallas or Toronto. So, at worst we're #9. No bonus points for everybody wearing a shade of red at least some of the time either?
That isn't to say that our teams could use some improvement. The Nats need to drop the front numbers and reinstate the interlocking DC and navy road cap. "Capitals" needs to be capitalized and some more red on the road whites is in order. The Wizards stand out despite the limited palette of a basketball jersey, but how about some block numbers? The Redskins, well that's a whole thread of it's own, but I'll suggest they return to burgundy pants with the white jerseys. The ketchup and mustard look has grown on me though.
UPDATED: On DC Sports Bog (The Post), Clinton Yates defended DC's uniforms.
While Lukas is SO VERY WRONG on D.C.'s ranking, he did get something right that too many area MSM's don't:
I also considered lumping Baltimore and DC into one metro area. But after consulting with several fans from both cities, I decided to treat them as separate entities. This meant that DC made the primary list of 20 big-market cities and Baltimore was relegated to the list of two-team cities.
As for other cities…Chicago would be my #1. Too many NFL teams messed up their uniforms and hold their city back. I'm looking at you Eagles and Broncos. Oh and when the Rams head back to L.A., they should add some gold jerseys.

Information addressing your work and business related questions and concerns for
Women in Business
Women's Business Loans
The Office of Women's Business Ownership is an integral component of the SBA serving as an entrepreneurial development network of training and counseling service. To help women accomplish their dreams and improve their communities by helping them start and run successful businesses, regardless of social or financial disadvantage, race, ethnicity or business background.
Women's Business Grants
Don't confuse grants with other programs to help women business owners. There are a number of programs out there that help women in business obtain loans and training, but they are not called grants. These special Free Grant Companies are set up to assist those in our society that are unable to secure money through conventional means.
Health Plans for Women
There are a variety of private and public health insurance programs. Most women obtain health insurance through their employer or as a dependent in a family plan. There also are public health insurance plans funded by the federal and state governments. Uninsured women are more likely to suffer serious health problems, partly because they tend to wait too long to get preventive care. The lack of health insurance can even be deadly.
Women's Government Contracts
To be a successful woman government contractor, you need to treat the government like a customer. As a Woman Business Owner, you should think through the same issues that you would if you were planning to sell to a private company or an individual client.
New Bankruptcy Bill
On March 10 the U.S. Senate, by a 74 to 25 vote, passed a bill that would significantly change bankruptcy rules. Should the bill be enacted into law, it would create the greatest change in U.S. bankruptcy law in 27 years. The House is expected to easily pass this legislation, which is part of President George W. Bush's domestic agenda for his second term. The Senate bill contains limitations on who can file under Chapter 7 and what would be required for repayment under Chapter 13. At this time most bankruptcy filings fall under Chapter 7 but due to a recent bill passed by the Senate alot more of us will be forced into a Chapter 13. This bill will go into effect early April 2005.
W2 vs 1099 Payroll Explained
For most of us the actual difference between 1099 Independent Contractors and W-2 Employees is clear cut for several reasons. But there are many of us out there that have never encountered it or never even thought to discover and understand their differences. In this article, I will convey to you the proper and necessary information so that you may determine which situation is best suited for you.
Day Care Benefits Provided by Employers
In order to retain valued employees and improve the corporate image, and at the same time gain tax benefits for themselves, many companies offer some type of financial help to employees who must pay for child or dependent care in order to work.
Consolidate Student Loans
The easiest way to reduce your student and school loan debt is to consolidate student loans. Student loan consolidation results in lowered debt and payments if the average interest after consolidation is lower than it is before. This is really just refinancing one or a group of federal student loans, at a lower interest rate, just as refinancing a mortgage loan at a lower interest rate would reduce monthly payments and the total amount paid.
HIPAA -Preexisting Conditions
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) was signed into law on August 21, 1996. This law includes important new protections for millions of working Americans and their families who have preexisting medical conditions or might suffer discrimination in health coverage based on a factor that relates to an individual's health. HIPAA's provisions amend Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) as well as the Internal Revenue Code and the Public Health Service Act and place requirements on employer sponsored group health plans, insurance companies and health maintenance organizations (HMOs).
Women's Health
There are a variety of private and public health insurance programs. Most women obtain health insurance through their employer or as a dependent in a family plan. There also are public health insurance plans funded by the federal and state governments.

The snow was drifting down outside our hotel window in Aviemore and we had a two year old and a baby to entertain. I'd heard a little about the Highland Wildlife Park in Kincraig so we bundled our babes into the car and drove gingerly the 8 miles hoping the park would actually be open in this weather. But this is the Cairngorms and snow does not phase the Cairngorms, its people or its beasts.
We bought our tickets then drove on and, extremely randomly, passed some camels in the snow. It all began to take on a slightly surreal, hallucinogenic hue. I'm old school, I'm used to seeing camels in the sun so seeing them marching past in a blizzard was bizarre. Mr Toddler meanwhile was on red alert shouting 'Wow, wow, wow' at these strange creatures he'd never encountered before.
We parked up and bundled our tots into so much snowgear they looked like they were going undercover and began the walking tour with our trusty map.
In just under an hour of wandering through snowflakes we saw a Red Panda, an Amur Tiger, Vicuna (which I'd never heard of but Mr Husband told me make very nice suits!), Eurasian Crane, Snow Leopards, a Wolverine and that was just the tip of the iceberg.
We did it all with the buggy which was tough going, it was so exhausting watching Mr Husband push and drag it through the snow, but he only managed it because we have an extremely light Out and About double buggy. It's wonderfully designed for outdoor living and I doubt many other buggies would have coped in the snow so well. [I haven't been paid to say this.] The park is buggy friendly but the snowfall created a huge challenge (for him).
After an hour we went back to Antlers Cafe to defrost and there we saw the Japanese Macaque Monkeys (I've just realised it sounds like the monkeys were in the cafe sipping tea like some Tetley advert. Their enclosure is right next to the cafe). They were frantically digging in the snow – Mr Toddler kept shouting 'banana' at them, as in every picture book every monkey is pictured with a banana (they must detest this stereotype), so Mr Toddler was quite convinced they'd find yellow fruit in the snow. No joy.
We then got snowsuited up again for the Main Reserve Guided Tour – you can self-drive this section of the park, as long as you follow the guidelines of not being absolutely stupid and getting out of your car/feeding the animals etc. but due to the snow the park had shut this option down to the general public. Instead they allowed us to sign up for a free guided tour (suggested donation £1) and our lively tribe were in the back of a tour mini bus with the guide and a desperately quiet couple who didn't ask a single question, make a single sound and probably wished they weren't on a bus with me, Mr Toddler, Mr Baby and 'I love to ask a million questions' Mr Husband. On the main reserve we saw the larger animals; the deer, elk horses, ox and bison.
Throughout the day feeds and talks are given by the keepers. The food attracts the animals right up to the gate – they are SO close – and the keepers tell you lots of factoids about the beasts, the planned breeding schedule for the animals and individual stories about each character so it's worth timing your day around these talks. The male polar bear feed, starring Walker and Arktos, at 1.15pm was a highlight. The bears eat, snuffle around, play fight with each other and roll down the hills repeatedly. We were also informed that the older bear will shortly be getting romantic with the UK's only female polar bear Victoria (slim pickings) as he has the better DNA match.
By that point we'd been onsite for five hours, dipping in and out of the cafe and shop area to defrost and check the babies were happy, but the cold was starting to get to us all and the snow was getting heavier so we peeled off a few layers to actually fit the kids into their car seats and headed back to the hotel with that deep exhaustion you get from a day in the snow.
The Highland Wildlife Park is £15 for adults, £11 for 3-15 year olds and Mr Toddler and Mr Baby were free. I initially balked at these prices but once inside the park you see where the money is going and you can spend an entire day there so I felt it was good value overall.
Opening Times
|April to October
|10 am to 5 pm (last entry 4 pm)
|July to August
|10 am to 6 pm (last entry 5 pm)
|November to March
|10 am to 4 pm (last entry 3 pm)
Winter opening – On days with deep snow and ice it's advised to phone before starting out on your journey to avoid disappointment (01540 651270) – we didn't do this but we fly by the seat of our pants.
In the summer you can bring your own food to eat at the park's picnic tables.
If you're not keen on animals in captivity then this explains the park's aims allowing you to judge for yourself.
We drove just over two hours from Aberdeen to Aviemore and stayed at the Hilton Coylumbridge – click here for a profile.
