found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Mack!
Facts about Mack
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Mack's Info...
I am up to date with shots and good with dogs.
Mack - Beautiful Female Lab Mix looking for her Forever Home!
Prepare for the Mack attack of kisses! This sweet girl has never met a stranger, she greets all new comers with a wagging tail and slobbery kisses. Mack is a mix of many wonderful things, labrador retriever being one of them. She is just a baby at 8-weeks old and approximately 7lbs and growing. She has large paws so we suspect she will grow to be a good sized adult. Mack is doing very well with the house and crate training as well as learning proper puppy manners. She loves belly rubs and playing with stuffed toys! She gets along well with other dogs and is very people orientated. She will be your shadow and follow you everywhere! She is playful and energetic like most puppies and will need a dedicated owner who will continue her training. Mack would be a wonderful addition to any family! Mack is currently up-to-date on vaccinations and is being fostered in Silver Spring, MD.
Other Pets at Operation Paws for Homes - MD Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mack, a Frederick Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Frederick, or seeking a Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Frederick.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Frederick already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Frederick breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Frederick paves the way for another one to be saved.

Crazy tax write offs that won't work
CPA shares some bizarre tax tales
Ninety days and counting for until the daunting tax deadline of April 15 and when it comes to tax write offs, CPA Shauna Wekherlien says she's heard just about everything.
"I had a little bit of a giggle," said CPA Shauna Wekherlien, who works for Tax Goddess in Phoenix. "[He told me] 'in order to be green and support the government, I would like to buy a camel.' So instead of driving in a car, he could ride his camel to and from work."
Add to that a client who wanted to deduct his carrier pigeons so he could hide his business practices from the government.
"Telephones were monitored. Computers were monitored. Carrier pigeons weren't," Wekherlien said. "A magician could probably get away with writing off carrier pigeons. It all depends on who you are."
Wekherlien hears about one or two of these crazy tax tales each year, like the man who tried to deduct pole dancing lessons for his wife as a medical expense.
"He decided that in order to lower his stress levels he was going to send his wife to a pole dancing class so that at home he would be able to have a very stress relieving performance for him. No!" Wekherlien said.
That's not quite what the doctor ordered. But if you order donuts for the office, you'll be a hero AND you can write them off and save yourself some dough. Just make sure you save your receipt.
Employers can also deduct office decor.
"Paintings, some flowers, even the paint on the walls," Wekherlien said.
Some of the more commonly missed write offs include:
1) Fees you pay to your financial planner
2) Continuing education for work
3) Moving expenses.
Just remember, the larger the deduction, the greater the risk.
"Just because you can, doesn't mean you should," Wekherlien said.
So be sure to check with your tax professional. You can start filing your federal taxes on January 30.

Internationally renowned Mexican guitar duo, Rodrigo y Gabriela, have utilised an Allen & Heath iLive digital system during their recent stripped down European tour.
The simple tour saw their performances stripped of all the big production paraphernalia common on such tours to, quite simply, two people and two guitars. The pair, Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero, then took their high-energy mix of rock, flamenco, jazz, metal and folk to a series of intimate venues across Europe.
RyG—as they are often known by fans—have seen increasing success since their time as buskers in Dublin. They have now sold over 1 million records and their 2009 album 11:11 provided fans with tracks such as "Hanuman" and "Voodoo Buster".
Their previous eponymously-titled 2006 album equally saw them showcase a mix of original pieces alongside extraordinary covers of "Stairway to Heaven" and "Orion" by two of their biggest influences—Led Zeppelin and Metallica, respectively.
The simplicity of the performance itself was more than matched by the audio equipment the duo took with them. They carried with them a compact Allen & Heath iLive digital system which comprised the iDR-16 Mix-Rack and iLive-R72 Rackmount Control Surface. The iLive-R72 came with a Dante audio interface card for virtual soundchecking.Article continues below
"We kept all the gear down to just what we could carry," explained Production Manager, Mike Taylor. "You might think that two guitarists can't need much but we didn't want to compromise quality just because we had to fly from venue to venue. Both Rodrigo and Gabriella have two set-ups each - a full electric and an acoustic - so in reality we are taking 4 guitar rigs. We are carrying a total of 9 cases of guitars and production equipment, plus luggage, so 'small' was the watch word for this tour. Allen & Heath has nailed it with this iLive system - there is absolutely no compromise, not even slightly!"
Rodrigo y Gabriela's FOH engineer, David Marchant, also had clear ideas of what was required even from this compact kit. The A&H equipment provided all he needed as the iLive-R72 supplemented the in-house console equipment easily whilst also ensuring that Marchant could call upon the desk itself at a moment's notice.
The diminutive rig that the team took on the tour did not go unnoticed by the various venues' crew.
"We have been turning up at venues and putting our small desk next to these big format analogue consoles and hearing a few sniggers from the local crew," added Taylor, "but that all stops the second the sound kicks in!"
Overall, the Allen & Heath iLive kit impressed Taylor and Marchant. This is despite the fact that Rodrigo y Gabriela's performances can often put a strain on less capable desks.
"Rodrigo and Gabriela are extremely high energy and dynamic," continued Taylor. "We needed a small desk with a big desk capability and we certainly found that in the iLive-R72."
"We managed monitors and FOH from the same console, and also a number of matrix outputs for additional areas," he added. "Using inputs and outputs on both the Surface and MixRack we were able to adapt to everything the venues threw at us"
Rodrigo y Gabriela's upcoming tour, Area 52, will begin in Europe and will move onto the US in April. In contrast to the tour noted above, Area 52 will involve the pair performing all of their hits with the backing of a full Cuban band, C.U.B.A.. The tour is supporting their most recent identically-titled album released earlier this year.

Made from Scratch
It was the ultimate dream of master pastry chef, Jacques Torres, to open his own chocolate wonderland where he could be one of the first artisan chocolatiers in the US to start from cocoa beans to make his own chocolate. In 2000, Jacques opened what would become his first workshop in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn. Jacques was a pioneer – DUMBO was a fledgling neighborhood a decade ago, and he, alongside his friend and business partner, Ken Goto, built the factory by hand, from scratch. From the drywall to the tin-plated ceiling to the air-conditioning installation, Jacques used his own handy-man skills and perseverance to complete the factory just in time for opening day. Fans of Jacques from his Le Cirque days and newcomers alike were drawn to his hand-crafted chocolate products and eager to catch a glimpse of the chocolate-making action through the factory windows.
An Exquisite Product
As Jacques says, "It's all real." He makes a promise that all Jacques Torres Chocolate products are hand-crafted with premium ingredients, most of which are made from scratch – from the marzipan and the marshmallows to the peanut butter and the cookie dough. Each confection is a celebration of chocolate in its purest sense and never contains preservatives, additives, extracts, oils, or essences. Jacques' repertoire of confections includes bon-bons, hot chocolate, chocolate-covered snacks (almonds, cornflakes, pretzels, cheerios, gingerettes, marshmallows, espresso beans, graham crackers, macadamia nuts, raisins, malt balls) bark, chocolate bars, ice cream, and more.
Jacques Torres Takes Manhattan
Thanks to the success of Jacques' DUMBO location, he sought to take Manhattan by storm in 2004 with a second workshop that would boast a larger factory and retail space. Located on Hudson Street in Downtown New York, this second workshop is an 8,000 square foot space featuring a state-of-the-art chocolate manufacturing plant. The cocoa bean-shaped retail space is flanked with floor-to-ceiling windows allowing visitors to peer into Jacques' celebrated process of turning cocoa beans into chocolate bars. Three years later in 2007, Jacques looked uptown as he opened the doors to his first retail-only boutique on Amsterdam Avenue on the Upper West Side. In 2009, Jacques expanded his operations to include ice cream, opening the first Jacques Torres Ice Cream shop next to the original Jacques Torres Chocolate in DUMBO. In October of that same year, a fourth retail-only location opened in the hip Chelsea Market. Finally, in early 2011, the latest retail chocolate location was opened in Rockefeller Center.
Each retail shop features Jacques' signature Chocolate Bar where guests can order hot chocolate, frozen hot chocolate, Illy brand coffee, espresso, and espresso-based drinks. The BonBon Counter and café seating round out the Jacques Torres retail experience. All shops incorporate the colors of the cocoa pod: deep chocolate brown, red, orange, yellow, and green as well as cut crystal chandeliers, mirrored walls, and mahogany wood counters topped with Italian Carrera marble.
Jacques can often be found working alongside his close-knit team in the DUMBO and Hudson Street factories. Together, they oversee and manage the conveyor belts, massive chocolate tempering machines, and other equipment which churn out the delicious chocolate that create the treats sold in each retail shop or shipped cross-country to fans nationwide.

Attack Warning:
Status of the Cheyenne Mountain Upgrade Program
AIMD-94-175: Published: Sep 1, 1994. Publicly Released: Sep 1, 1994.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Air Force's Cheyenne Mountain Upgrade (CMU) program, focusing on the: (1) current cost and schedule for the CMU program; (2) status of CMU subsystems development and performance; (3) status of the integration of CMU systems; and (4) management issues affecting future CMU development.
GAO found that: (1) the CMU program continues to experience cost increases and schedule delays; (2) major CMU subsystems are unreliable and do not meet users' requirements; (3) the Air Force has prematurely declared some subsystems operational; (4) because the Air Force is paying for some CMU subsystem development with funds designated for operations and maintenance, the cost of developing CMU is being understated; (5) significant incompatibilities among CMU component subsystems have been identified that could prevent the overall system from becoming fully functional; and (6) the Air Force has made improvements in program management and is considering further program management changes.

The problem with your statement is in the presumption that the corporation is some how responsible for the employee beyond the workplace. "Underpaid employees are now forced to go on public assistance"? First off, who are you to say they're underpaid?! Even the "poor" in America have it far better off than the poor in many other countries (thus explaining the rush on our border, despite such "deplorable" working conditions here). This guy is complaining about $15 an hour when workers in the fast food industry are demanding that wage! But let's get back on point…
Companies don't "privatize their profits while socializing their costs" as you put it (sounds like the makings of an Occupy chant); the people elect a government that will give them handouts because they don't have any skin in the game. These people demand expansion of these programs, and these same people refuse to take accountability for their decisions in life. If these program didn't exist, perhaps people would be more responsible with their money, reevaluate what is and isn't a priority, and for those who pay the taxes, they'd have more in their pocket from not paying for these programs in the first place.
Your statement infers that it's somehow the company's fault when a worker must go on public assistance. How exactly does that work? Does Paul deserve more than Mark because Paul has a large family? We earn what the market dictates we're worth for the job that we do, and what we're willing to take.

I used to work in retail, and though I don't remember the number of digits necessary, I do know how to avoid being scammed in the future: The sales clerk should ALWAYS be the one making the phone call to the bank. That's how I was trained to do it, and it should be standard procedure. Never take the customer's word for it that the transaction is OK; speak to the bank rep. yourself and get the digits from them. We had authorization telephone numbers for all of the CC companies we worked with, and those were the only numbers we called when we needed authorization. Training, training, training…

Being that she's only 18, the chances that any nude pictures that may exist of her are limited to being taken in the past year (or less) is highly unlikely. If they did exist it is more likely that they are of her as a minor, therefore the pedophile inference. Worse, due to her age, if they did exist, there would be no way to guarantee that they were taken of her as an adult, making it even more likely that he is engaging in encouraging pedophilia and the sharing of child pornography. While I'm sure he is not intending to endorse pedophilia in his hateful tweet, due to her age, he certainly left that possibility open.

This insanity has got to stop. If police dogs are protected by laws against harm by criminal acts, than so must our pets (and to many of us, members of our families) be protected against excessive force. It is common for citizens to have dogs for protection of property, and unless you have a warrant to enter the premises, it should be just as much a violation to harm our animals as it is for us to harm theirs.
I get it, there was a missing child, but that does not give law enforcement carte blanche to go anywhere and everywhere in violation of our rights. To those who are defending this officer's actions: if he believed his search required breaking into your home because you didn't answer the door, and your teenage son/daughter was home alone and didn't hear the knock at the door, how would you feel? How would you feel if your son/daughter was shot and killed when startling the officer coming around the corner to investigate? Would there be outrage then? Yes, I know, we're talking about the difference between a human and an animal, but there's a connection with the animal, and to those of us with animals (especially with no kids), it would be a devastating and senseless loss. Did the officer not have pepper spray? All the LEOs where I live do… Why was a lethal response the first response when looking for a lost (not kidnapped) child? This was just wrong, plain-and-simple… I'll climb down off of my soapbox now.

There is no Constitutional authority for the Federal government to run a highway system. You can skew Article 1, Section 8 "To establish Post Offices, and Post Roads" to justify this to an extent, but it should be at best limited to the needs of the Postal Service. And there's no need for a four lane highway to haul mail.
A proper application of the clause, in conjunction with regulating "Commerce…among the several states", would be setting a Federal standard as to what constitutes a road: minimum width of a lane, minimum load capacities, etc., so that vehicles used for carrying the mail and commerce between the states could be designed to a Federal standard, allowing vehicles to freely travel state to state without worrying about whether they can safely travel across state lines. By the way, we already have this…
This would lead the management and funding of the Federal highways to the states. This puts the spending at the local level, where the local populace can (ideally) effectively manage how the money is managed and spent. I bet if we did an honest audit of our current Federal Highway Department, you'd see a lot of money going to the bureaucracy instead of to actual highway spending. At the state level there's a better chance that the residents would demand better management.
Again, this if for "Federal highways", as we already have state & county roads. Reduce the size of the Federal government and put more control in the hands of the states and

This concept of "no winners or losers" is an extrapolation of from each according to their ability, to each according to their need. It is meant to equalize the playing field and remove individuality; your individuality does not matter, it is the collective enjoyment of being together that matters, nothing else. By encouraging children not to excel, they settle into mediocrity, and lose ambition, and without ambition, you'll more easily conform to how the government wants you to be. This generation that is being raised up in this ideology are going to be ill-equipped to compete in the world, and will find themselves being subservient to government throughout their lives.

Actually, yes, yes it is, for the individual. It is not, however, OK for the State to do it. It sucks, yes, but if I am not free to associate with those whom I choose, and disassociate from others, than am I really free? A man must labor to put food on the table and a roof over his head, but to make him labor for those he does not wish to labor for makes him a slave. And THAT is unconstitutional.

Jesus loved the whore, and saved her from unjust punishment by an angry mob. But when he did, he didn't send her back to the brothel, he forgave her for her sins, and told her to sin no more. Conversely, how well, exactly, did he love the money changers in the temple? I don't recall that being a loving, accepting conversation…
If you cannot understand what a moral objection is, than there is no point in having a conversation. Does not an Innkeeper have the right to refuse to sell a room to a couple if he knows that the man and woman are married, but not to each other? Where is their civil right to engage in their behavior as they see fit? They don't have one, because their sexual behavior is not a civil right. At least not to a point to force a business owner to do business with them against his moral teachings.
Maybe things will change with time, but the activists aren't willing to wait. They want it all, and they want it now. Let's just ignore the MILLENNIA of objection to homosexuality and demand that society change its views on a dime and just all get along. If only everyone could evolve to your level of humanity overnight. Wouldn't the world just be a wonderful place?

First and foremost, a person's sexual proclivity is not in any way, shape, or form the same as their gender, race, or any other genetic trait to which they cannot hide from the public. What you do behind closed doors is your business, but when you bring it into the public square, the public has every right to react to it.
As far as a business refusing service to a gay wedding, let me try and make what I consider an equal comparison: a guy goes to his regular florist, and orders flowers with a racy note attached for a woman the florist knows is not his wife. The florist has moral objections to this behavior and refuses to provide the flowers, telling the man he will have to go elsewhere for it. Does he not have this right? And this conversation should be just as simple. Like it or not, a large number of people still have both moral and natural objections to homosexuality, and by 'natural', I mean that it goes against nature, as procreation is not possible between two men, or two women. That's not meant to be insulting, it's just fact.
We live in a free society, or at least we used to. To quote Andrew Wilkow: "your freedom to be you includes my freedom to be free from you." Bigotry will always exist, because we will never as a society agree on everything. I can't even count how many times I've heard the bigoted term '*********' referring to those that believe in our Constitution and limited government. But I'm sure many of you have never condoned that kind of

There is no "right" to vote. Go ahead, show me where in the Constitution that it outlines that ALL citizens have a right to vote? Voting is a privilege, and all you have to do is look at the state of affairs of our nation today to understand why. Equal protection under the law does not mean that we are all equal, just that we be treated equally. Requiring, for example, that you must be a net-positive tax payer (you paid in more than you got back at the end of the last year) in order to vote provides equal protection. So long as you are a productive member of society, contributing to the tax base, you get to vote. This eliminates "zero liability" voters from the rolls; people who do not face any consequences for their vote (voting for costly programs that they're never going to contribute to paying for) will never concern themselves with what it costs. Admittedly, this will be near impossible to pass, as the atmosphere of our current politics lends itself to pandering to the zero liability voter to ensure that one gets into and stays in office. As far as requiring ID goes, though, I would love for someone to articulate to me how even 1% of the population wouldn't have ID, when it's required to do pretty much everything BUT vote right now. Bank account, flying, driving, credit, GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE, all these things require ID. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. The argument against requiring ID to vote is ludicrous, when one considers how necessary an ID is in th

The driver was from Florida, according to the local paper: http://tbo.com/list/columns-tjackson/jackson-gun-owner-unarmed-unwelcome-in-maryland-20140112/, specifically the statement that "Florida may have codified his Second Amendment rights"… I live in FL, and our CCWs are issued by the state dept. of fish & wildlife, not directly by law enforcement. That said, it's a great question to ask how did this LEO know that he was a gun owner?! I suspect that it may be the FBI that is providing the information, as our background checks go through them. No matter, the fact that this information is being shared without our knowledge, and then being used to TARGET AND HARASS us is a gross violation of our rights. This needs to be addressed, and I have already been in touch with my State Representative to get answers. I would suggest that others do the same, this should be a warning shot across the bow to all of us just how far gone our rights really are.

Very impressive! It can be done, I have lost nearly 75 pounds since the beginning of the year doing nothing more than eating the proper amount of calories for my weight and lifestyle. Like this young lady, I did no exercise, in fact, I work in front of a computer 8+ hours a day and spend most nights relaxing at home. Mowing the yard is about all the exercise I get on a regular basis. It's amazing how little food we really need on a daily basis depending on our activity level. I feel great, don't tire as easily, and am more alert, definitely worth the effort, I just wish I would have taken a photographic record like this young lady did!

It's called freedom of association, and it is a right. This has been the problem with discrimination laws that reach beyond the government (in other words, only the government is prohibited from discriminating); it took nearly fifty years, but discrimination laws are finally showing their true nature: to deny you your freedom of who you choose to associate with. State imposed discrimination should ALWAYS be illegal, you cannot avoid your government, as the force of government (laws/guns) puts the individual at an unfair advantage and denies the individual their freedom.
And yes, again, freedom of association is a RIGHT. It ranks up there with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (that list was representative, not all-inclusive, hence the precursor of "that among these are…"). Absent of government, an individual has the freedom to choose who he associates with and conduct trade. If he doesn't like his neighbor because he's German, he can go to his Italian neighbor for what he needs. It is his individual right to do so, and you may abhor it, but the same holds true if his neighbor was a female, another race, homosexual, old, handicapped, etc., you get the point. Society will hold that individual responsible for their actions by their choice to engage with that individual in commerce. That's how things work in a free society, it's not always pretty, but it's better than being forced to violate your conscience in the name of political correctness.

The process of creating the baby is natural, yet we do it in private. Both men and women evacuate waste from their bodies, it is natural, yet we have a proper place and means of doing so. It is not out of the realm of decency and consideration to others to ask a mother to cover herself and her nursing child in public. We're not animals, and it is not unreasonable to ask a woman to be discreet when feeding her child. "Reasonable accommodation" works both ways…

Like it or not, it is a private business and if one truly believes in limited government, they have every right to make this policy. Now, what could be argued is their imposed deadline; the complex entered into a contract with their tenants for a specified period of time (usually an annual contract), with the provisions governing the terms under which both parties agree. If the contract allows for the complex to change the rules mid-way through the term of the contract, then the tenant has little-to-no recourse. I doubt, though, that this is the case.
The tenants may have a legal argument that the complex is breaking the contract and they may be due damages as a result. Hard to say, I'm not an attorney, but as far as the complex's right to make these rules, that's their business. As other posters have stated, they'll pay the price when crime goes up and the value of the property goes down. In the meantime, current residents should start looking for another place to live, I don't think they have a legal ground to stand on for the long-term…

The simple truth here is that we've created an environment where intervention in near-impossible for fear of the litigious consequences. First and foremost, when the school system offers to provide transportation for your child they assume responsibility for the health and well-being of that child; there's a reason why there's a rear and roof exit on school buses. This instance of violence is just one example of what our PC society has done to civilization. The bus driver had every right to intervene under Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law, and he should have. The problem becomes what tools did he have at his disposal to ensure that he would be able to handle the conflict? At 67 he probably felt there was little he could do to protect himself should the attackers turn on him, as the district undoubtedly prohibits bus drivers from carrying any kind of personal protection. This does not have to necessarily be a firearm, a taser would have done the job, but it goes beyond that. These boys had no fear in attacking the other student. None. They knew the bus driver wasn't going to intervene, and their fellow students certainly weren't; there will probably be no response at home, and the legal system will more-than-likely spit them back out with minimal impact unless the public makes a big enough stink for a proper prosecution. There is a lack of discipline and respect with the majority of this generation. I don't know if we can recover it any time soon, but we have to star

Summer 2014 Internship Program
The American Council of Trustees and Alumni seeks accomplished, high-energy undergraduate, graduate, and professional students with excellent research and communication abilities to apply for summer internships.
The American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) is an independent, non-profit organization committed to academic freedom, excellence, and accountability at America's colleges and universities. Launched in 1995, we are the only organization that works with alumni, donors, trustees, and education leaders across the United States to support liberal arts education, uphold high academic standards, safeguard the free exchange of ideas on campus, and ensure that the next generation receives a philosophically rich, high-quality college education at an affordable price.
ACTA's national network includes alumni and trustees from more than 1,100 colleges and universities, including over 14,000 current board members. Our quarterly newsletter, Inside Academe, reaches nearly 13,000 readers.
All fellows and summer interns participate in a special series of seminars with ACTA staff and board members. Past seminar speakers have included Dr. Bruce Cole, former chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities; Dr. Frederick M. Hess, director of education-policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute; Ross Douthat, op-ed columnist for The New York Times; Dr. Richard K. Vedder, distinguished professor emeritus of economics at Ohio University; Arthur Rothkopf, president emeritus of Lafayette College; and Stephen Trachtenberg, president emeritus of The George Washington University.
Spring and summer interns will research, write, perform clerical and administrative tasks, and enter data. ACTA interns have provided critical assistance to the full-time staff, including research for the What Will They Learn?™ project and preparing materials that have appeared in nationally-syndicated news stories and sent to trustees and alumni across the country. Alumni of the internship program have returned to work at ACTA, and have gone on to work at other Washington area policy organizations. All interns receive stipends of $1,500 per month, thanks to the generosity of ACTA's supporters.
Application requirements
ACTA will hire on a rolling basis. Please apply as early as possible, but no later than April 1 for summer internships. Applicants to be considered both for the Lewit Fellowship and for a summer internship need only to submit one application.
To apply for any internship or fellowship, please mail, e-mail, or fax:
- Your resume and transcript. (An unofficial transcript will suffice.)
- A letter of recommendation from someone who has taught you and can comment on your academic and analytic abilities and promise. (A letter from another individual may supplement, but not replace, this letter.)
- A letter of one to two pages explaining why the internship or fellowship is of interest to you and why you should be selected for it.
All applications and questions should be directed to 1726 M Street NW, Suite 802 Washington, DC 20036, email@example.com, or (202) 467-6784 (fax).

After helping reinvent the careers of both Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado last year (both of whom appear here on "Give It To Me"), Timbaland has become the new "go-to guy" for pop production, graduating from his long resume of hip-hop and R&B hits, like Jay-Z's "Big Pimpin" or Aaliyah's "Are You that Somebody", just to name a few. With his new album, Shock Value, he attempts to further his career as a multi-faceted pop producer, with a guest list of heavy hitters to help out. But does Shock Value truly electrify? Or does it fall flat, like the pun in that last sentence?
Because this is such a diverse record, it has a hard time defining itself, feeling like it's all over the place. Timbaland flexes his muscles as a vocalist throughout much of the record. For instance, he rolls completely solo on the album opener, "Oh Timbaland", which finds him re-freaking the Nina Simone sampled, last used on Talib Kweli's "Get By" (by peer producer Kanye West), with decent results. He takes center stage again on the catchy "Release", where collaborator Justin Timberlake switches roles, playing back-up singer to Tim. This track heavily mirrors J.T.'s own "Lovestoned", while "The Way I Are" features new protege Keri Hilson, in an otherwise excellent track that more or less rehashes "Sexy Back". Much focus is put on the new diva, who also shows up on a pair of workable pop songs, "Scream" and "Miscommunication", any of which will thrust her into the limelight.
Unfortunately, much of the other material falls short. The dirty funk of "Bounce" is powerful, but is quickly silenced by a pair lousy verses from Dr. Dre and Missy Elliot. The same can be said for the disappointing "Come and Get Me", featuring bosom buddies 50 Cent and Tony Yayo, the latter who tries to really go for that "shock value", by slamming Britney Spears and Anna Nicole Smith with puns, to failure. Not cool, especially in light of the recent Jimmy Henchmen controversy.
Timbaland definitely draws from the strengths of his collaborators, however when the artists aren't strong as hit machines like Timberlake or Furtado, it definitely shows. Case in point are collaborators like Sebastian and Attitude, who add zero to the equation on the passable "Kill Yourself". The same can be said for "Bombay", which skips sampling sexy, belly-dancing Middle-Eastern vocals and instead employs Amar to sing them live. But again, it falls short.
The most anticipated set of collaborations on the record – those with various rock artists, also doesn't quite deliver. Both The Hives and She Wants Revenge appear here, but Timbaland's production doesn't outdo the band's own self produced sounds that can be found on any of their LP's. The now sound of Fall Out Boy's "One and Only" proves that these guys are just a flash in the pan, while the Elton John collaboration, "2 Man Show", seems contrived. The only real winner here is "Apologize", with One Republic, which flawlessly meshes the two sounds.
It's evident that Timbaland is attempting to go after every corner of the market with Shock Value, but because of that, he ends up pissing everyone off in the process. Chances are, each crowd (hip-hop, rock, pop) will only truly enjoy three or four songs on the record. Taken piece by piece, Shock Value has its moments, but ultimately doesn't recapture the scary consistency found on Timberlake's Futuresex/Lovesounds, or much of his past catalog, for that matter.

October 1991. It was "the perfect storm"--a tempest that may happen only once in a century--a nor'easter created by so rare a combination of factors that it could not possibly have been worse. Creating waves ten stories high and winds of 120 miles an hour, the storm whipped the sea to inconceivable levels few people on Earth have ever witnessed. Few, except the six-man crew of the Andrea Gail, a commercial fishing boat tragically headed towards its hellish center.

Every time I travel I think "I should make a packing list…" and yet I don't have an account on one of those list-making sites and don't want one. So, for my posterity, here is my packing list for future reference. This time around — trip to Clearwater, Kansas and Denver Colorado — all I forgot were my headphones. Not bad. This is presuming a work trip; for pleasure trips I don't really care what I remember and forget. At some point I'll put this all on an index card.
Clothes & etc (backpack)
- one nice outfit per talk
- one knock-around outfit for every two leisure days (wear same outfit to/from home incl. heaviest sweater/jacket)
- one extra pair of socks/underwear/t-shirt/hoodie
- pajamas, tops & bottoms
- belt
- cold weather? hat, scarf, gloves
- swimsuit (always forgotten when I need it)
- jewelry
- laptop & sleeve
Toiletries bag
- benadryl
- melatonin
- toothbrush/toothpaste/floss
- moisturizer
- just in case: theraflu/dramamine/ibuprofen/acetominophen
- matches/smokes
- earplugs
- hair tie
- warm weather? razor
Tech bag
- dongles for video/ethernet
- cord for laptop
- EVDO card
- camera & charger & card reader
- cell phone & charger
- slide-show clicker
- headphones
- wallet w/ relevant transit passes/frequent flyer cards
- printed list of phone numbers & maps
- keys w/ USB drive
- pens
- folder for receipts
- power bar for plane
- velcro tie-down
- little flashlight
- safety pin
- something to read & spare something to read
Amusingly, money is rarely something I need to bring with me. I think I spent maybe seventeen dollars in the past five days that wasn't paid for with plastic. With ATMs everyplace, this is less important than, say, a safety pin which is actually damned hard to replace.

6 of Our Favorite Jennifer Lopez Roles (PHOTOS)
The last time Jennifer Lopez headlined a major theatrical release was 2010's The Back-Up Plan. That's like a century of downtime in Hollywood Years.
Leave it to Jason Statham and his permanent five-o'clock shadow to lure J.Lo back to the big screen in the new action thriller, Parker. To celebrate the former Fly Girl's return to theaters, Celebuzz gets all retrospective-y by rounding up her six best film performances.
From Selena to Monster-in-Law, from dramas to (gasp) Gigli, Lopez has done it all. Her film career, which is quickly coming up on the 2o-year mark, boasts several box office hits and an impressive collection of truly impressive - if somewhat underrated - dramatic roles.
Did we leave out your favorite J.Lo performance? Watch a clip from her new film, Parker, then tell us which movie we missed in the comments below.

Iraq Sunni militant group vows to march on Baghdad
The al-Qaida-inspired group that led the charge in capturing two key Sunni-dominated cities in Iraq this week vowed Thursday to march on to Baghdad, raising fears about the Shiite-led government's ability to slow the assault following the insurgents' lightning gains.
Associated Press
The al-Qaida-inspired group that led the charge in capturing two key Sunni-dominated cities in Iraq this week vowed Thursday to march on to Baghdad, raising fears about the Shiite-led government's ability to slow the assault following the insurgents' lightning gains.
Fighters from the militant group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant on Wednesday took Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit, as soldiers and security forces abandoned their posts and yielded ground once controlled by U.S. forces.
That seizure followed the capture of much of Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, the previous day. The group and its allies among local tribesmen also hold the city of Fallujah and other pockets of the Sunni-dominated Anbar province to the west of Baghdad.
A spokesman for the Islamic State said the group has old scores to settle with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government in Baghdad. The Iraqi leader, a Shiite, is trying to hold onto power after indecisive elections in April.
Al-Maliki has called on parliament to declare a state of emergency that would give him the "necessary powers" to run the country -- something legal experts said could include powers to impose curfews, restrict public movements and censor the media. Lawmakers are expected to consider that request later today.
The ISIL spokesman, Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, also threatened that the group's fighters will take the southern Iraqi Shiite cities of Karbala and Najaf, which hold two of the holiest shrines for Shiite Muslims.
"March toward Baghdad because there was have an account to settle," he urged followers in a recording posted on militant websites commonly used by the group. The statement could not be independently verified.
Al-Adnani also said in the recording that one of ISIL's top military commanders, Adnan Ismail Najm, better known as Abu Abdul-Rahman al-Bilawi al-Anbari, was killed in the recent battles in Iraq.
Al-Adnani said Najm worked closely with the former leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, Jordanian-born Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was killed by U.S. troops in 2006. Najm was later detained and spent years in prison before he was set free two years ago and prepared and commanded the operations that led to the latest incursions by the group in northern and central Iraq.
The Islamic State aims to create an Islamic emirate spanning both sides of the Iraq-Syria border. It has been able to push deep into parts of the Iraqi Sunni heartland once controlled by U.S. forces because police and military forces melted away after relatively brief clashes.
The White House said Wednesday that the United States was "deeply concerned" about ISIL's continued aggression.
There were no reliable estimates of casualties or the number of insurgents involved, though several hundred gunmen were involved in the Tikrit fight, said Mizhar Fleih, the deputy head of the municipal council of nearby Samarra. An even larger number of militants likely would have been needed to secure Mosul, a much bigger city.
Baghdad does not appear to be in imminent danger from a similar assault, although Sunni insurgents have stepped up car bombings and suicide attacks in the capital in recent months.
So far, ISIL fighters have stuck to the Sunni heartland and former Sunni insurgent strongholds where people are already alienated by the Shiite-led government over allegations of discrimination and mistreatment. The militants also would likely meet far stronger resistance, not only from government forces but by Shiite militias if they tried to advance on the capital.
Mosul, the capital of Ninevah province, and the neighboring Sunni-dominated province of Anbar share a long and porous border with Syria, where the Islamic State is also active.
Mosul's fall was a heavy defeat for al-Maliki. His Shiite-dominated political bloc came first in April 30 parliamentary elections -- the first since the U.S. military withdrawal in 2011 -- but failed to gain a majority, forcing him to try to build a governing coalition.
In addition to being Saddam's hometown, Tikrit was a power base of his once-powerful Baath Party. The former dictator was captured by U.S. forces while hiding in a hole in the area and he is buried south of town in a tomb draped with the Saddam-era Iraqi flag.

TUESDAY, Nov. 20 (HealthDay News) -- Statistics show that lung cancer kills about 160,000 people a year in the United States and is the country's leading cause of cancer death, but there are steps people can take to reduce their risk, an expert advises.
Lung cancer causes more deaths than colon, breast and prostate cancer combined, according to the American Lung Association.
Therefore, people should learn the facts about lung cancer and simple ways to reduce their risk, Dr. Bruce Johnson, director of the Lowe Center for Thoracic Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, said in a news release from the institute.
Smoking is the greatest risk factor for lung cancer, but nonsmokers account for 10 to 15 percent of lung cancer cases, he noted. It's important for everyone to know the symptoms of lung cancer because early detection can lead to better outcomes.
Symptoms can include: a cough that doesn't go away; shortness of breath; back and shoulder pain; and coughing up blood. People with these symptoms should see their doctor, Johnson advised.
Lung cancer can be difficult to detect but recent research suggests that low-dose CT scans can detect tumors at an earlier stage in people at high risk for lung cancer. This type of screening is recommended for people aged 55 to 74 who have smoked a pack a day for 30 years and quit less than 15 years ago.
Advances in the last decade have led to new targeted therapies that offer more treatment options for lung cancer patients.
"The identification of genetic alterations -- such as EGFR and ALK -- make the tumors more likely to respond to certain targeted drugs that can be taken in pill form and have fewer side effects than standard chemotherapy," Johnson said in the news release.
"The most important thing a person can do to avoid lung cancer is to never start smoking," but smokers who quit begin to reduce their risks for lung cancer and heart attack within weeks, Johnson noted.
"People who stop and remain a nonsmoker for at least 10 to 20 years can cut their risk of developing lung cancer by 50 to 75 percent," he said.

The U.S. National Cancer Institute has more about lung cancer prevention.

Seldom was a Seattle-based pop-rock trio. Their line-up consisted of piano, bass, and drums, but some songs included electric guitar, mellotron, strings, or other keyboard instruments. They toured in support of both Pedro the Lion and Sarah Shannon. Both of their releases were on Casa and their 2002 album "Romance" was distributed by Barsuk Records. In 2002, Foubert joined Pedro the Lion for their album, Control, playing drums and keyboards and co-writing "Penetration" and "Second Best". In 2004, Foubert and Matthews joined up with frontman Christian Wargo and guitarist Ryan Phillips to create Crystal Skulls. The band originally included Dan Chestnut and Scott Kirby who played guitar and bass, respectively.

Santos, Brazil
Santos Travel, Santos Vacations, Santos Wine, Go to Santos|Brazil|BestDay.com|BestDay.com
Just 45 miles away from Sao Paulo, Santos is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Brazil. Thanks to its great location, beside the ocean, and with a beach almost five miles long, the city has a whole host of things to do and see for people of all ages.
Santos is made up of two parts, known as the island area and the mainland. The mainland is the largest part, and, given its location next to the Serra do Mar State Park, 70% of it has been classified as an Area de Proteccion Ambiental (Environmental Protection Area). Many of the region's protected tropical forests are located here, which are fantastic places to try out a variety of adventurous activities.
Santos became famous in 2000, when it gained entry into the Guinness Book of Records as the city with the largest beachfront garden in the world. Spanning nearly 2,500,000 square feet, whatever the season there's always an excellent variety of beautiful plant species to see. The area is also famous for its port and old buildings with unique architectural features. A historical tour of the region is well worth doing during your visit.

Detective Kang works as a private eye in his spare time--his specialty are adultery cases. When he takes on an investigative job offered by an attractive woman, it turns out that her husband (whom she allegedly suspected of cheating on her) has been murdered. Kang himself becomes a suspect and has to do his utmost to help solving the case without raising further suspicion by the criminal investigators. ~ Baseline StudioSystems
