This week, the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PSPCA)—the venerable nonprofit organization that's been fighting animal cruelty since 1867 but has been struggling for three years to dig its way out of a scandal-ridden turn in charge of Philadelphia animal control—is finally getting out of the business it had no business being in in the first place.
Since last year, the PSPCA has been working with the city to set up, and transfer those duties to, a new city-related nonprofit called the Animal Care & Control Team (ACCT Philly). ACCT Philly formally takes over the contract and the city-owned animal shelter on April 1.
Advocates hope the changeover will finally give the city a chance to save more animals and turn around Philly's national reputation as one of the worst cities for animal control.
The saga first came to light in 2004 after a Daily News expose revealed that the city-run animal-control agency, the Philadelphia Animal Care and Control Association (PACCA), was stacked with nepotism hires who ran the shelter like a grisly sausage factory. The game-changing news story described the shelter as "an Abu Ghraib for animals, where the ones euthanized within minutes of their arrival may be the lucky ones." Heads rolled, fresh leadership was installed, and by 2008, the PACCA was finally making headway—at which point the city abruptly decided to change course, opened the animal-control contract to bid, and awarded it to the PSPCA, which had previously performed that role in the 1980s and '90s.
It was an odd move and, frankly, a stupid one. The whole reason the city had created the PACCA in the first place was because the PSPCA walked away from handling Philly's animal-control duties in 2000, citing insufficient funding. But new people in charge on both sides of the equation thought things would be better this time.
Chaos erupted right away. PSPCA CEO Howard Nelson, who had doggedly pursued the city contract, resigned six weeks into the takeover at the beginning of 2009. He officially cited health concerns as the reason for his departure, even as longtime PSPCA board members resigned in protest of his policies and rumors swirled that he was muscled out. (Nelson remains a presence in the local animal community today as president of the Doggie Style pet-boutique chain.)
The sudden departure of the man with the plan left a huge, thankless, Sisyphean task of taking in more than 30,000 homeless animals a year to an inexperienced and overwhelmed PSPCA board. In short order, the operation was swamped with vaccination delays, disease outbreaks and unnecessary animal deaths. As reported by PW in April 2009, the PSPCA lied about its euthanasia rates, killing more dogs and cats than they claimed in official reports (which were later corrected).
With the PSPCA's mess now having laid waste to the years of slow, painstaking animal-control reform that the PACCA had undertaken since its own disaster five years earlier, the organization turned to a familiar face to help clean up again, hiring the PACCA's former COO, Sue Cosby, as its new CEO in June 2009.
It didn't take long for Cosby to ascertain that her big-picture mission regarding animal control wasn't to fix the PSPCA's handling of it, but to establish that the PSPCA was the wrong entity to oversee those duties—and to help both the organization and the city negotiate a new infrastructure for moving forward. To put it simply, she says, "Humane societies were created to protect animals, and animal control [agencies] in municipalities were created to protect people from bad animals. Animal control didn't fit in with the mission of PSPCA."
That strategizing dominated 2011 after, at the suggestion of former Councilman Jack Kelly, the city's Managing Director's Office assumed governmental authority over animal control—previously the jurisdiction of the Dept. of Public Health.
"We checked out a number of different models" for handling animal control, says Brian Abernathy, chief of staff to Managing Director Rich Negrin. "Everything from bringing it into the city directly to what we finally decided on—which was a city-related nonprofit."
A city-related agency is any authority or quasi-public corporation that either receives appropriations from the city and is in a continuing contractual or cooperative relationship with the city, or operates under legal authority granted by city ordinance. Examples include the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation and the Redevelopment Authority.
Now, after what has felt to Philadelphia's animal-welfare community like interminable years of shuffling the deck, ACCT Philly is finally poised to take over. "The complexity of [setting up] a roughly four-million-dollar business that takes operational authority on a set date isn't an easy thing to do," Abernathy notes. After conducting a national search, Abernathy offered ACCT Philly's top job to Cosby, who resigned from the PSPCA in January. While Cosby has her critics—"She's not warm and fuzzy," says Abernathy—the principal players are all on board.
This time around, local animal-welfare advocates are optimistic that all parties have learned from the mistakes. They say Philadelphia's animal control is in a good place for the first time, in a long time. And they give a lot of credit to Abernathy for that.
"There's been a lot of really positive progress in the last year, and Brian's been wonderful to work with," says Melissa Levy, executive director of the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), the only no-kill animal shelter in the city. "He's been very forthcoming and open to dialogue and to any issue we feel has been necessary. It really feels like everyone has had a seat at the table."
Abernathy agrees that "the animal-advocacy community right now is pretty united. I'm not going to take credit for that, but I will take credit for not dividing it," he laughs. "I started off rocky with a number of advocates, but both the advocates and I worked very hard to improve those relationships. I wanted to avoid a lot of the pitfalls we'd made … the city's interests are protected, but at the same time the city doesn't run over the animal-advocacy community."
ACCT Philly will be governed by a board that includes members of animal organizations, City Council, the community and the Animal Advisory Committee, a 2-year-old group established to advise the city on animal-welfare issues. Aside from those checks and balances—seemingly a novel idea—the practical benefit of establishing a city-related nonprofit is that it allows the organization to engage in its own charitable fundraising to supplement its city funding. This is a key factor, as, at $3.6 million, Philadelphia's animal-control budget is the largest it's ever been—and still well below industry standard for a city of our size.
The PSPCA will retain its shelter on Erie Avenue, just over a mile away from the ACCT Philly shelter, and will continue to function as an adoption center for dogs and cats.
"Sue Cosby is more of the same. I am very discouraged for her to be the director of ACCT. "Nothing changes if nothing changes""
"Please Sue, no more of your $1 cat sales. Last season I found three microchipped cats who had been adopted during these sales. One owner was nowhere to be found. The other two said they didn't want the cats back--one because he was sick, the other because "he might have fleas" and she was unwilling to pay for a few doses of Advantage. I surely understand the challenges when you have so many cats and kittens flying through the door, but cats shouldn't go to these sub par homes for $1 a piece."
"Their policies are absolutely the worst. In the last 18 months I've fostered a kitty that, after a dozen "vet" visits (you see a vet tech, never a vet) I adopted the kitty and took her to MY vet, was diagnosed with feline asthma, NOT a URI AND when we adopted a dog, he had to be returned within 24 hours because he had bloody stool POURING out of him and could barely stand up. He was also cat aggressive after we were told he was cat tested. (we have four cats) The staff of ACCT is rude, ignorant and not at all helpful."
"Who is making these decisions over at the ACCT? I mean its obvious that they don't care about animals. Who is on this board that seems more preoccupied with putting the same old crew in the same old positions, rather then fixing the problems that everyone who deals with ACCT is aware of. Sick animals, sub par management, disgruntled employees, and inadequate services and a return CEO making more the 100,000 bucks a year? The city once again shows its lackadaisical attitude in serving the residents of this city. As the first comment said: "more of the same"."
"Disagree with all of the above posts. Everyone I've ever encountered at ACCT works as hard as they can with the resources they have....who would be smiling and chipper every day when their job is to take in animals that nobody wants and do their best to re-home them and save them from being euthanized? The volunteers are the best you'll find anywhere. I too have adopted a sick dog from ACCT during a canine flu outbreak - it took a couple of weeks and some extra TLC to get her better, but she recovered and is the BEST dog ever! I say, good luck Sue! And by the way....$100,000 is not a lot of money for a CEO...even of a non-profit."
"As an ACCT employee, I find it very disrespectful to say that we do not care about the animals. We love animals and we try our best under our current policy to help the animals at the shelter. We have an awesome volunteer group who are here at the shelter from 8 am to almost 10 pm everyday walking dogs, training dogs, working with cats. As the only public intake shelter for the entire city, we have more animals coming in daily than we have them leaving the shelter. Of course we would like to save every animal but unfortunately we can't. To paint a picture last year in July, we took in 2308 cats. That's just July alone. Now I would agree that the policies need to be reformed as well as the board. This job isn't the easiest between dealing with phones ringing non stop, customer's at your window, and entering paperwork. If you think you can do this job, feel free to just sit here and observe just two hours in the shelter and see what exactly we see."
"I am a new employee and upon my hire I was amazed at all the services that ACCT offers at no or little cost to the residents of Philadelphia. The people that work there border on being fanatical about their commitment to the animals which they serve. And make it clear, they feel as though they serve as the voice of animals which cannot speak for themselves. It is easy to criticize the organization upon first site of a frustrated employee. However how many tooth baring grins are you going to have when you have just told a person that their sick animal is probably going to be put down, or dealing with a person with a dead animal which they have had for years. Emotionally this job has me involved more with people's needs then any of my 15 years of non for profit experience ever has. I am not involved with the political aspect of the job, and truthfully I have very little interest in what goes on behind the scenes. I am here to SERVE their needs and nothing more."
"As an ACCT volunteer for over 2 years I have seen wonderful improvements during my time there. This has been due to the staff and volunteers. The pen pal program, Dog Behavior team, Cat behavior team and adoption events have done more to save these animals than any of the policy makers that claim to be responsible for the improvements. To hear the quote above from Sue Cosby that
"Humane societies were created to protect animals, and animal control [agencies] in municipalities were created to protect people from bad animals. Animal control didn't fit in with the mission of PSPCA." is very surprising for me to hear. There are NO bad animals at ACCT. Only animals who have been abandoned by thier careless owners. Each and every animal I have ever been in contact with at the shelter has been starved for love and attention. I have fostered over 15 animals and adopted both a dog and a cat from ACCT and not a single one of them is "bad". They have all been amazing."
"As for the person who mentioned about the 'cat test. Cat testing at ACCT consists of bringing the dog into the cat room where all the cats are in cages to see how the dog might react upon seeing and smelling the cats.It is by no means the best system, but is the safest for the cats. It can be very difficult to get an accurate read on any animals behavior in a shelter environment. It is a loud, scary, unfamiliar place. This is why the amazing adoptions counselors provide every adopter with resouces such as contact information for the dog and cat behavior teams so that you can talk to them about how to properly introduce your new animal into the home. They are an amazing group of volunteers who have fostered hundreds of animals between them and can offer great advice on your new pets behavior issues. It is up to the adopter to take advantage of the education and resources that they can provide. You can't expect the animal to know what to do in a brand new environment!"
"I posts about the $1 cat sales above and wanted to add that I've had wonderful experiences with the life saving department and volunteers. They work VERY hard to place animals nobody else wants and do so with few resources. I do, however, wish there could be a bigger change at the top."
"The Truth About Free Cat Adoptions
"The main problem that the employee's of ACCT encounter everyday, are the careless, and mindless pet owners or customers. Whoever have a negative comment to make about the employee's, need to be an employee for just one day to see first hand, the neglect of people to their animals."
"Cosby is involved with Nathan Winograd and Rick Berman. They support puppy mills and hoarders and also the breeders that help create the overpopulation problem. Looks like the animals of Philly are going to suffer again!"
"BINGO Comment #14 - all this club of NK is going to do is work to change/eliminate our city's HUMANE animal ordinances. This is happening nationwide in animal controls and humane societies.
Biggest red flag is the massive amounts of dog breeders who buy and recommend the NK "tour" machine's book -Redemption. In fact, Google his name, the book name and "Akc dog breeder" and get comfy.
They are being exposed slowly but surely - thank GOD."
"For detailed exposure of this "agenda", visit this website:
Whoever does that blog reports on it all across the nation - not just in one state."
"ACCT Philly is not a holding area for 'bad', dogs. Many more things, have I observed as a volunteer have been happening here. Cats and Dogs who are frightened and/or have been abused are socialized. Illnesses that could kill or lower the chance for adoption are treated. Injuries are treated. Orphaned Kittens are nursed. Dogs have the the Pen Pal program to get intensive attention, training and exposure to help with foster or adoption. Big dogs are given exercise from their pens. All dogs. Foster and Adoption Parents are screened. The Hunting Park facility is Hugh. They never turn an animal away 24/7. They work tireless to save and place each animal possible."
"Maybe someone should ask why the dog behaviorist was fired last year for animal abuse and then reinstated. As of April 1 he was promoted to shelter manager and is still dating a volunteer who is one of the leads for the Dog Behavior Team. I'm thinking things are going back to the way they were with nepotism taking hold quite well. I also hear that some of the staff has made harsh comments to volunteers on Facebook and nothing has been done to those employees. I'm sure it will blow up in their faces once again."
"First of all, about ACCT employees being rude, unfortunately sometimes yes our emotions do get the best of us. No it's not fair to the customers who are there with good intentions but after seeing abused, neglected and dying animals walking through our doors day after day with excuses from owners like "we just don't want him anymore" or worse, finding an animal that was abandoned by their owner and left to fend for themselves on the street and then having 5 people call screaming that there is a dog running loose on their block...we can only take so much. Our vet techs have to put countless animals to sleep everyday because some people (who should have never owned a pet to begin with) just don't care. We take the thought of sadness and death home with us everyday because that is what we see. It's an emotionally challenging job that most people could never do, anyone who disagrees should come and sit in our lobby for a few hours one day and just listen to the things we hear."
"continued: Our animal control officers who patrol the city picking up stray and unwanted pets from owners who can't even be bothered to bring their animal in themselves are driving around in vehicles that break down on a regular basis. City residents don't want to hear that there is only so much we can do when we receive hundreds of calls a day from people needing our help on top of investigating complaints. They don't want to hear that our officers are on another emergency and will be there as soon as possible, no that's not the residents fault but it isn't the employees either. There really is only so much we can do, Philadelphia is a big city with a lot of people living in it. Please be patient with us and we will do our very best to help you. The day to day employees you see everyday have nothing to do with making the policy's we only have to follow them. Most of us are there simply because we care about animals and want to help, I personally am there for no other reason"
"@"Current Volunteer" - you really should do your homework and make sure your facts are straight before making a post like that. If you are so unhappy with the way things are being run then why do you volunteer with us.
We do our best to work hand and hand with the volunteers but it's not always easy. And yes I'm sure that goes both ways. The volunteers are very important to the animals in the shelter and without them a lot more lives would be even worse. Please consider making positive suggestions to the volunteer coordinator instead."
"@Current Volunteer you clearly don't know your facts. I am a current employee who was here when it happened (not that it's any of yours or anyone's business). The last time I checked this is an animal shelter and that manager who you are referring too is a DAMN GOOD MANAGER/BEHAVIORIST. The last time I checked, you're a volunteer, just that a volunteer meaning do what you're supposed to do. And that is work with the animals not to sit here and gossip or put another persons business on front street. To be honest you need not volunteer here anymore if you are more concerned with another human being's personal life. Here's an idea, how about you get a life. Or better yet, why don't you and your little buddies (THIS DOES NOT APPLY ALL ONLY SOME VOLUNTEERS) who have a secret facebook page discussing or talking about the employees here at acct....its funny we have a meeting tomorrow and I think i will bring this up."
"I will not post anonymously. I am an active volunteer & foster home for the shelter. I respect the job that many of the staff do at the shelter & the volunteers. I found this post accidentally while googling to find an email address at ACCT. As to #18 's comments I would be curious to see your facts backing up that animal abuse occurred & if that is the case it absolutely should be reported if someone was abusing animals. However I have a feeling the post may be based all on hearsay & gossip & is out of line.
As to comment #22-25 I find it offensive & disappointing to read that a staff member would make this comment: "youre a volunteer, just that a volunteer meaning do what you're supposed to do". What does that even mean? The volunteers at ACCT go far above & beyond just working with the animals- we are right there in the trenches of it too. It's a shame you posted anonymously-now we just have to wonder which of the ACCT staff have such an attitude towards "just volunteers""
"First there are no behaviorists or certified dog trainers at their facility. Second seeing the comment from an employee it's pretty clear how they feel about their volunteers. What a shame for those animals that nothing will change while the current regime is in control no matter how hard the well meaning volunteers try. So to the volunteers-why try and help where you are not wanted?"
"The solution of the problem is not keeping the old one. The PSPCA was not doing a good job overseeing the animal control for the city, so they bring in the same person who was head of the PSPCA to run the animal control now. Nothing yet has changed. You still see the same old Pspca run animal control under a new name. The same broken trucks, just with duct-tape on them now. The same broken building. The same broken management, just shuffled around. What has changed?
As for the volunteers vs the employees there. The volunteers for the most part act like they run the place. I've seen some belittle the employees to their faces and behind thier backs. Don't get me wrong, some of the volunteers are kind and sweet people. Others seem to feel like they are so much better then they petty people who work at animal control.
As for the employees, I feel bad for them. The place gained a new name, but just gained a new polished terd. They are always shorthanded, overworked, and ill-equipped. Atleast once a month you see one of their trucks broken down or baing towed somewhere. The office staff running to other rooms to get something they printed because the printer available to them is broken.
When will this change? When this incarnation fails and the city chooses to go back to the PSPCA?"
"I am so saddened by the things I am reading. ACCT does a ton. Is it perfect? No. Human beings are flawed, from the volunteers to the paid staff, to the "owners" who come in all day long surrendering their animals because "she is rude" (as I read on a cat card once!).
Sniping at each other clearly is not helpful. The reality is that the building is not big enough; there is not enough staff, and there are too many animals. The trashy obsession with breeding pit bulls as "fighting" dogs or "guard" dogs exacerbates our problem, as do the idiots who surrender their pregnant mom cats because "she pregnant."
The volunteers often have their hearts ripped out when dogs and cats get euthanized, but it is even worse for the kennel attendants who actually have to do the killing. So much death is not healthy for normal people and it takes its toll. Many want a "No-Kill Philadelphia", and many have great opinions on the subject, but they are not chipping in to expand our services and facilities."
"#25 - well stated.
It's hard to believe no better candidates exist for CEO than same-o sue - a nightmare @ pacca - powertrippin @ pspca until unceremoniously dumped for a cambell"s soup executive - overall bad track record @ both places. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
I admire staff and volunteers who work there. I call to foster animals and the staff are very cordial and up to date on information.
"This is a post made on a volunteer's PUBLIC Facebook page. This volunteer was upset about posts made by then Dog Evaluator, TJ Cunningham. It is a shame that he would post such flaming remarks on a volunteer's Facebook page.

8:36am. Yeah I have such a way....ACCT murdered her yesterday! Great job TJ!!!
18 hours ago. Oh no! That makes me sick. Is ACCT animal control? Who is TJ?
18 hours ago. Well it takes a lot to ruin my appetite, but that just did! Poor dog! We need more non-kill shelters desperately.
17 hours ago. The idiot who ordered her to be put to sleep. And would not give me one day to try to get her out of there. This is the harsh realities of the shelter."
"17 hours ago. Im sorry for your loss but TJ is not the one to blame for this. The fact is we are a high kill shelter bc we are the only open door shelter in the entire city of Philadelphia and not because of TJ but because of the people who breed and dump their animals every day. Open door means ACCT cannot turn animals away. Blame the people who left her at the shelter. No Kill shelters are in theory great however they turn animals away and it doesn't mean they never euthanize like you may think. Spay/Neuter/Foster and Adopt!
17 hours ago • 1. They are to blame but so is he for this particular dog. That is my opinion and I was there. There was space enough to give her and me the courtesy of a few hours. I didn't even get the opportunity to say goodbye. he made a mistake and Precious is dead."

11 hours ago.Tj Cunningham I like to comment on positive posts

11 hours ago.Tj Cunningham you have no idea what is concstructive
11 hours ago.Tj Cunningham that made no sense
11 hours ago.Tj Cunningham so you walked the kennels, took out a number of dogs last night, all of them I assume, because you know exactly what my job is...so which dog would you have chosen instead?
11 hours ago.Tj Cunningham what were you told?
11 hours ago.Tj Cunningham doesn't matter. Complain away
11 hours ago.Tj Cunningham I encourage it
The PSPCA proposal is a sight to behold, stocked with swashbuckling campaign promises. On paper, it looked like 2009 would be a relatively good time to be a homeless animal in Philadelphia. Instead, disaster ensued.
Baptism by fire, shit storm, train wreck: These are the nice ways to describe the situation that Sue Cosby -- the new CEO of the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals -- is hurling herself into. Earlier this week, Cosby talked with PW about her new role, her vision for the city's animal control, and what a long, strange trip it's been.
Two weeks away from a City Hall investigational hearing called by Philadelphia City Councilman Jack Kelly to drill into the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PSPCA)'s mismanagement of Philly's animal control contract, the PSCPA is coming clean on euthanasia and save rate statistics.
An activist wants to know what is wrong with Philadelphia animal control.
Everyone who has worked directly with Howard Nelson—who in an earlier life was a Fannie Mae exec—has a strong opinion on him. His detractors are rapid; his supporters devout.
PSPCA employs dedicated animal-lover volunteers, but making sure these dogs are walked properly will be a challenge. Insiders have long said that on a regular day, there aren't enough volunteers to walk the shelter dogs properly.

Are you sure you have typed the name of the method correctly? It must be "println", so "print" followed by lower-case letter L and lower-case letter N. Note that it is not for example "printIn" with an upper-case letter I instead of a lower-case letter L (that's a mistake that people sometimes make).

Jesper de Jong wrote:The code you posted is not a complete program. Can you post your complete source code, and the exact error message? Copy and paste the whole error message. The more information you give us, the better we can help.
You could declare and initiliaze howmany outside of the try block (with 0, for example), and then assign it in the try block. The scope will be larger, and everything you want in the try block is in it.
You're doing the exact same thing with total and divide.

I tried that, but the catch didn't read the value inside of the try, it only read the value outside and returned 0.
Jesper de Jong wrote:So, you've fixed the "can't resolve method" error? Because the above output shows that you've successfully compiled the program and you can run it.
You enter "2.4" as an answer to the question "how many numbers do you want to enter?". Well, that doesn't work, because you can't enter 2.4 numbers. It's expecting you to enter an integer, not a floating-point number. If you enter "2.4", then line 12 is going to throw an InputMismatchException because 2.4 is not an integer.
Try entering an integer instead of "2.4".
That could be because of the other problem I mentioned. If the exception is thrown on the first nextInt() call, then the value never gets set anyway. Since you don't print that stack trace you've hidden that information.
This is the general approach you need to use. But I would suggest - you need to stop just moving things around to see if they work, and try to understand why it works as it does. Understand the scope of variables, and the order your code is executed in. Then you can write the code knowing what it's going to do.

I can catch the double but I can't print the number they typed, that's my problem.

POSTED: 10:04 a.m. HST, Apr 17, 2012
LAST UPDATED: 11:53 a.m. HST, Apr 17, 2012
Former Bank of Hawaii Chairman and CEO Mike O'Neill has been named chairman of the Citigroup Inc. board of directors.
The announcement about O'Neill, 65, was made following the annual Citi stockholders' meeting in Dallas, Texas. O'Neill has been a board member since 2009. He previously was vice chairman and chief financial officer at BankAmerica Corp., now known as Bank of America.
In addition to O'Neill, Franz B. Humer and Joan E. Spero were elected by stockholders to serve on the Citi board.
O'Neill replaces former Chairman Richard Parsons who also has ties to Hawaii. Parsons played basketball for the University of Hawaii in the 1960s. Parsons also serves as an economic adviser to President Barrack Obama
The Citigroup succession plan was announced last month.
O'Neill, a member of the board's personnel and compensation committee, will have to deal with shareholder ire over executive pay in his new role.
At today's annual meeting, 55 percent of the bank's shareholders voted against the pay packages that have been granted to Citigroup's top executives, including CEO Vikram Pandit's $15 million for last year and $10 million retention pay. The vote is advisory and won't force the bank to change its pay practices, but it did send a powerful message of discontent to Citi's leadership.
Under the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul law, major U.S. companies are required to allow shareholders to have a "say on pay" vote at least every three years.
Besides Citi so far this year, only three companies — International Game Technology and Actuant Corp. — have failed to muster shareholders' approval of its pay practices. Last year, 41 companies failed.
For Citigroup's CEO Vikram Pandit, the lost vote at the annual meeting comes at a bad time. Last month the bank's chief regulator the Federal Reserve dealt Citi a huge setback by barring the company from paying a higher dividend, saying the bank wasn't financially strong enough. The Fed's decision came soon after Pandit had been promising to raise dividends.
Pandit received $14.8 million in total compensation for 2011, up from his token $1 compensation in 2010.
Pandit was also awarded $10 million in retention pay, which vests after 2013. Paid as an incentive for Pandit to stay on as CEO, Citi's compensation committee will assess him not on financial performance, but on non-quantifiable measures such as talent management, organizational culture and risk management.

Although Tippecanoe School Corp. students received about 30 fewer hours of instruction in the 2009-10 school year, educators say in hindsight that the time was put to good use.
This is the second year for TSC's Instructional Improvement Block program -- or "IIB," as many teachers refer to it. Under the program, 10 minutes was removed from each of the 180 school days and combined with time saved by the controversial removal of six half-days to give teachers a 30-minute window before each school day to meet and discuss topics ranging from curriculum mapping to school safety.

New Book Claims David Bowie And Mick Jagger Regularly Humped
Ever since 1990 everyone has been saying that David Bowie and Mick Jagger totally did it (like, they knocked boots). But now there's a new book that claims that their boots knocking occurred not once but rather over a long-term affair.
Oooh! Summon the gossip hounds!
The book is Chris Andersen's Mick: The Wild Life and Mad Genius of Jagger. But before we get to its claims, let's examine the start of this whole "Bowie bones Jagger" story.
According to snopes.com, May 4th 1990 marked the end of divorce settlement gag order placed on David Bowie's ex-wife Angela. Eager to gab, she went on The Joan Rivers Show and claimed that she caught the openly bisexual pop star "in bed with men several times" including once buck naked with Jagger.
Snopes says:
Mick Jagger was quick to dismiss the whole thing as ''complete rubbish,'' and a public letter from David Bowie's lawyer stated that any ''implication that there was ever a gay affair between Mick Jagger and David Bowie is an absolute fabrication." Sure enough, within a week Angela Bowie was backtracking, claiming that although what she had revealed was literally true, it didn't necessarily mean what people assumed it meant.
Later, in Angela's 1993 tell-all book Backstage Passes, she recounted the incident:
When I walked into that room and found Mick and David together, I felt absolutely dead certain that they'd been screwing. It was so obvious, in fact, that I never even considered the possibility that they hadn't been screwing. The way they'd been running around together and the way David made a virtual religion of slipping the Lance of Love into almost everyone around him, and then the fact that Mick had a perfectly good bed of his own just three hundred yards away from where he was passed out naked with David — it all added up inescapably in my head as well as my gut. I didn't have to look around for open jars of K-Y jelly.
Maybe I should have, because then my eyes would have seen the proof of what I knew in my heart. But I didn't, so I can't say conclusively that those two alley cats were actually going at it that night. While they were still awake together in my bed, I wasn't there.
Fast forward to the release of Anderson's book (which hits shelves today). His tome not only recounts Angela's story but also has other gadflies dishing the gay and bisexual dirt.
British rag The Daily Mail spills the beans:
After meeting in the early Seventies, Andersen says both stars became fascinated with one another, attending each other's concerts and sending gifts to one another.
Not long after their first encounter in 1973, when Mick visited Bowie backstage at one of his concerts, Andersen claims that their relationship quickly turned physical.
'It was the glitter era, and everybody wanted to be part of the bisexual revolution,' singer Chuckie Starr tells the author in the book.
'Mick was no different. He was wearing rhinestones, blue eye shadow, and platform shoes.'
Quickly becoming fast friends, 'Bowie and Jagger were soon spotted everywhere together without their wives: sitting ringside at the Muhammad Ali-Ken Norton bout, hanging out at the London disco Tramp, yelling and stomping their approval at a Diana Ross concert, or just cuddling up together on a hotel room couch,' Andersen writes.
'Neither superstar complained when one enterprising photographer snapped the two men in a moment of repose, Bowie tenderly cradling Mick's head in his lap.
'Bowie also took Mick to gay films.'
Bowie back-up singer Ava Cherry told one of the author's sources that the two men would invite her to threesomes and then just end up frugging each other while she watched (which is really bad threesome etiquette).
Playboy model Bebe Buell told the book's author that Jagger and Bowie used to call her at three in the morning and invite her to romps with "four gorgeous black women" or "four gorgeous black men."
So basically, Bowie and Jagger and a bunch of other people from the 70s, 80s and 90s were really slutty. That's about as newsbreaking as Anderson Cooper's coming out.
Now enjoy this video below of Bowie and Jagger trying to out-flame each other in an ultra-sassy cover of Dancing in the Street. The flourishes, pouty lips and baggy clown pants will make you gag and confirm that even in 1985, these two guys totally still had 13-year-old girl crushes on each other.

November 25, 2015
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Accountability reports released by the Alabama Department of Education show that more than 75 percent of
Alabama public schools have improved enough to achieve the goal set
by the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
The accountability reports were released Monday during a meeting of the Alabama Board of Education.
The report showed that of Alabama's 1,375 public schools, 1,033
met 100 percent of goals. The goals include students showing academic improvement and showing up for classes. The attendance
goal for Alabama schools was adjusted from 95 percent to 90 percent
because of an outbreak of the swine flu.
The report shows Alabama's graduation rate for the class of 2009
was 87 percent. That's below the state's goal of 90 percent.
Some of the ones that did not make it are in the Wiregrass area.
Those include Dothan and Northview High Schools and Girard and Honeysuckle Middle Schools in the Dothan City School System.
In the Houston County System, Ashford High and Elementary as well as middle schools in Rehobeth and Wicksburg also failed to make adequate yearly progress.

Jocelyn Benson has been named permanent dean of Wayne State's Law School. / Wayne State
Wayne State has removed the interim tag from Jocelyn Bensons title, naming her permanent dean of WSUs Law School.
With the move, the 36-year-old Benson becomes the youngest woman ever to lead a U.S. law school, WSU said. She had been interim dean since December 2012.
While serving as the law schools interim dean since December 2012, Dean Benson has improved bar passage rates, increased the law schools ranking with U.S. News & World Report and added hands-on learning opportunities for students, WSU Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Margaret E. Winters said in a news release announcing the move. Im excited to see her future accomplishments in the years ahead.
Benson is the second woman to hold the deanship since the law school was founded in 1927. She had been on faculty since 2005. She previously was an associate professor of law and associate director of the schools Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights.
I am proud to be leading Wayne Law at this historic moment, Benson said in a news release. We strive to be the leading legal education institution in the Midwest for providing opportunities to serve the public. As Detroits law school, we also have a responsibility to be a magnet for the next generation of advocates for justice in our region.
In addition, my hope is that all graduates of Wayne Law, no matter where they land, are instilled with a desire to integrate service into their careers. And all students of the law school should have the opportunity to actually practice and experience the law before they graduate. Students who come to Wayne Law become part of a network of advocates committed to the same ideals. Together, they are something larger than themselves. We are a family here.
In 2010, she was the Democratic candidate for Michigans secretary of state.
Benson is founder and executive director of the nonpartisan Michigan Center for Election Law, which hosts projects that support transparency and integrity in elections. She serves with retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the board of iCivics Inc., a national nonprofit organization that OConnor created to improve civics education throughout the country.
Benson also is founder and director of Military Spouses of Michigan.
Prior to joining the law faculty, Benson clerked for Judge Damon J. Keith on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. She also worked as a legal assistant to Nina Totenberg at National Public Radio and investigated hate groups and hate crimes for the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The Avett Brothers / Courtesy Photo
If you go:
WHAT: Grand Point North festival
WHEN: Friday-Saturday (The Avett Brothers play 7:25-8:40 p.m Saturday)
WHERE: Waterfront Park, Burlington
TICKETS: Friday, $45; Saturday, sold out. 652-0777, www.highergroundmusic.com.
The Avett Brothers know how to make a CD quickly and efficiently.
Weve done them in two weeks, Scott Avett said in a recent phone interview. "Emotionalism (released in 2007) was done in 11 days. I mean, we are quite aware of our ability to do that.
Now the Avett Brothers know the value of taking their time to finish an album.
I guess I could compare it to when I was in one of my painting classes. It always comes back to me when Im working on paintings, and I guess its true of recordings as well, and were always reminded you need to be stepping back and seeing the canvass just as much as when you have a brush to the canvass. And when you think about the time recording versus the time listening and contemplating, you need to spend just as much or more time listening and contemplating as you do with the mike or the instrument to the mike.
That kind of care translated into 15 months of work on the next album, The Carpenter, with work beginning in January 2011. The CD debuted on Tuesday and the Avett Brothers are set to take the stage at Burlingtons Grand Point North festival on Saturday.
For most music acts, such an investment of time wouldnt be possible. There would be demands to get the CD out far more quickly and get back on tour to avoid having too long of an absence from the public eye.
But in the case of the Avett Brothers, they were working with the man who also produced the group's acclaimed 2009 CD, I and Love and You Rick Rubin. One of musics most respected producers, Rubin is known to serve the artists before the bottom line and doesnt like albums he produces to be released before hes confident they are everything they should be.
Avett credits Rubin with fostering an environment where creativity could thrive without any outside business pressures.
Something weve understood and were very thankful of is no deadlines and no budgets, Avett said. The way I visualize it is this. Theres a bubble, and within it is the artistic process. Outside of the bubble is entrepreneurship and marketing. And that never needs to make it inside that bubble.
Being able to shut out any outside distractions or pressures had become more important than ever for the Avett Brothers.
The trio was coming off of an album in I and Love and You that had cracked the top 20 on the Billboard magazine album chart and had also been a huge hit with music critics.
Up until then, the Avett Brothers had operated under a much more limited spotlight. Brothers Scott (vocals, banjo, harmonica, guitar, piano) and Seth Avett (vocals, guitars, piano) formed an early lineup of the group and self-released a self-titled EP in 2000.
With the addition of bassist Bob Crawford in 2002, the group settled into its current lineup and released its first full-length studio album, Country Was. A concert CD, Live at the Double Door Inn, followed later that year, and the group was then signed to the indie label Ramseur Records.
Over the next four years, the Avett Brothers steadily gained attention within the alt-country/Americana scene, as the group released such well-received albums as A Carolina Jubilee (2003), Mignonette (2004), Four Thieves Gone: The Robbinsville Sessions (2006) and Emotionalism.
The latter album made the Billboard album chart at number 134 and went on to help the Avett Brothers win Americana Music Association honors as duo/group of the year and new/emerging artist of the year.
This set the stage for a move to Rubins American Recordings and the making of I and Love and You, a CD that retained the Avetts acoustic foundation (particularly on songs like the folky January Wedding and Ten Thousand Voices), but broadened its instrumental and stylistic reach to the point that the group could no longer be placed in specific musical categories.
For instance, Head Full Of Doubt/Road Full Of Promise was an expansive mid-tempo track that used piano, drums, strings, organ and electric guitar to help create its beauty. Kick Drum Heart was a concise and catchy pop-rocker. Perfect Square covers considerable ground, opening as a lovely ballad before kicking into more of a poppy piano-centric rocker. The title track, meanwhile, was a strikingly elegant, piano-based ballad.
The 2009 CD, Avett said, was a definite step up artistically for the group.
I and Love and You was just another level of understanding song forms and composition, and just making a song truly balanced and well rounded, he said.
The songs that made The Carpenter, Avett said, will build on the stylistic growth that the group attained on I and Love and You.
I think its going in the same direction, he said of the new CD. I think theres no possible way that this album can be considered a bluegrass album, not that any of our albums could have. But theres no possible way it can be considered a folk album. In a lot of ways, I just think if Neil Young was put in the rock bin, I would imagine we would be put in the rock bin. Its got very loud electric guitars. Its got banjo on it. I think its probably an American no pun intended for the record company but its probably an American album.

In the old Acme Rubber Stamp building, with reclaimed barn wood in a chevron pattern on the walls, and a peek here and there of brick, Bitterroot is cool without trying too hard. Here, you'll dive into a plate of spicy buffalo chicken livers ($8) (why didn't someone think of this sooner?) and sip a creamed old fashioned ($9): bourbon, vanilla sugar and walnut bitters in a lowball. Take your time, sing along to Hank Williams on the stereo, and then the brisket will arrive, smoky and tender, yielding easily to a fork. The half-rack of pork ribs (pictured) hit the spot dead on; they require just a slight pull to bring the meat off the bone ($16/$29). And there's a burger ($12) that's worth a visit in its own right: gloriously indulgent with bacon, blue cheese and soft, sweet onions on a pretzel roll. The chicken is great, too, and the sides don't slack, especially the rich and porky baked beans ($3) and the bright, crunchy slaw ($3). Really good barbecue...in Ballard? We didn't believe it 'til we tasted it, either.
Open daily, 11 a.m.–2 a.m. Ballard, 5239 Ballard Ave. NW; 206.588.1577; bitterrootbbq.com

Every sport seems to have its once-in-a-lifetime moment - the kind of experience athletes dream of having but know in reality is a long shot: a Hail Mary pass that scores the winning touchdown, a half-court shot at the buzzer to send the basketball game into overtime, rolling a 300 in bowling or sinking a golf ball in the hole with only a single swing off the tee.
Kent Harman knows how the latter feels - in fact he's experienced the golfer's dream of a hole-in-one five times in the past two years.

Galapagos 2013
We will depart and fly to Quito, Ecuador, where we will be welcomed by our Sustainable Horizon Group Leader and driver. From the airport we will head to our hostel where we will spend our first night in this magnificent country. If we arrive with daylight to spare, we will walk around the neighborhood for our first glimpse of this beautiful city. We will have an orientation dinner together to talk about what to expect in the upcoming days.
After breakfast we will head to the old town of Quito to enjoy the beautiful architecture and learn more about the history of Quito Colonial (old city). We will also take a trip up the hill located at the edge of the city where the iconic Panecillo, a statue standing on the hill over the old town, stands guarding its inhabitants. From here we will have an amazing 360-degree panoramic view of Quito.
After lunch, we will head to the famous equator line, or Mitad del Mundo (middle of the world)! Here we will have the opportunity to stand in two hemispheres at the same time! Tonight we will rest for the exciting days to come.
After breakfast we will set out on our half day journey, by bus, through the Andean mountains to the town of Baños located at the entrance to the Amazon. Upon arrival, we will head to our lodging. After lunch we will meet Dr. Leonardo Arias, one of the best wildlife veterinarians in Ecuador who will be leading our work at the center. We will take a walk through the center together acquainting ourselves to our workplace and the animals. Before dinner Dr. Arias will give us our first seminar.
Recent deforestation of the rainforest and heartless human behavior has caused animals to contend not only for resources, but also their lives. Unfortunately, many trafficked animals remain in the hands of their owners, who often abuse them by keeping them as pets.
In the morning we will take the bus to the airport as our journey to the Galapagos Islands begins. When we arrive at Baltra Island, our Galapagos Group Leader will greet us and take us on a several hour-long boat ride to Santa Cruz Island. Upon arrival, we will take the bus across the island to meet our hosts at a special lodge run by a local family. After our morning of travel, we enjoy a delicious local lunch and take a walk to the National Park and Charles Darwin Center to learn about their work for the animals and the islands. After our visit here we will explore the small town in which we will be staying.
Today we will travel to Bartolome Island. We will depart early on a boat from Santa Cruz to Bartolome and enjoy breakfast on the three-hour boat ride. We will proceed to the best-known photo spot in all
of Galapagos Islands, on the top of one of the volcanoes overlooking the beaches. After taking the picturesque walk up and down the volcano, we will head to the beach to go snorkeling, hopefully in the company of sea lions and penguins.
Today we will visit Isabela Island, the biggest island in the Galapagos about two hours from Santa Cruz. When we arrive, we will take another boat to explore a small island, in particular the area outside the village of Puerto Villamil, called Las Tintoreras. On our walk here we hope to see iguanas, birds and sea lions. Next, we head back to our boat to go snorkeling in the waters outside Isabela Island where we may see sea turtles, sting rays, sea lions and of course a variety of fish.
We leave early in the morning for the harbor. Today we will take a boat to visit Floreana Island. Upon arrival we will take a Chiva, a local bus, up to the highlands of Floreana Island. Here we will hike through the National Park area where the giant tortoises coming from different Islands are placed. From here we continue down to the place where the first island inhabitants used to live and we will learn about their history.
In the afternoon we take the boat back to Santa Cruz. If possible we stop for snorkeling along the way. Upon arrival in Santa Cruz we will take a walk down to the fisherman's harbor to see the day's catch.
This morning we may have the opportunity to visit Dr. Leo's veterinary clinic in Quito.
This afternoon we will be taking a cable car ride up Cruz Loma (Cruz Hill) 11,000+ feet. If we catch a cloud free day we will have an aerial view of both old and new town Quito, the valleys, the snow-capped mountains, the 14+ Andean mountain peaks known as Volcano Avenue, and the top of Pinchincha Volcano. After we descend we will head back to our hostel preparing for dinner and our journey home.
Today our Ecuador adventure comes to a close as we depart early for our flight out of Quito.

Jesse Jane:
Before all the prank fun gets going hot 'n' heavy we first have a little hook up for Jesse and her man Johnny. He's trying to pack for this trip he's about to take but Jesse being the horn dog that she is has other ideas and it takes a little work and a fake upper cross to finally convince Johnny to stay just a little longer and fuck his girl. Both have a good at the oral sex arts before moving on to the fucking. Doggie and reverse lead the way ending with a pop on her pussy. Riley is shown arriving just as Johnny is finally leaving for his trip, don't get into any trouble girls, yeah right!!
Riley Steele & Chanel Preston:
So the man has left but the girls can't seem to find anything to do sitting bored on the couch. Chanel arrives and their spirits perk up briefly but soon Chanel is seated and her phone is the only thing having any fun. Well the trio try and cook up something fun to do and it's Jesse who comes up with the idea of doing porno pranks. Chanel actually gets the first good gig for them to do and it involves Riley too. The next shot has Bill Bailey arriving seemingly there to fix a window in the bathroom that won't close. They don't want any prying eyes watching them while in the shower. Speaking of the shower Bill can't help but notice a nude Chanel already using it and his eyes keep wondering over that way and they stay fixed there once Riley undresses and joins her. The ladies have some fun with each other while Bill struggles to find out what's wrong with the window. Finally the girls work their magic and bring him into the scene. Some nice shared dick sucking by the ladies and then they take turns being fucked by Bill until it's time to share the load between their faces/ lips. A little kiss and we're done here
Ava Addams:
The next scene will involve Riley's boyfriend that she really wants to dump but can't seem to find the courage to do so. Well Jesse has the bright idea to shoot him in the act of fucking another girl so they enlist Ava to accomplish this mission. Do she have what it takes, well lifting up her halter top reveals two fantabulous tits which should definitely do the trick and smash through any defense Ryan might have, lol. So he arrives over bringing his massage table but he's here to give one to a "Carl" but it's short for Carla, haha. Well Ava takes off her top and in short time has dragged Ryans hands over those glorious fun bags and he's toast while massaging them. Ava gives some very nice head during the course of this scene before allowing Ryan to "massage" her pussy with his cock! Couples style finish with the pop shot on her tits but she does rub it in though I kept wishing for her to lift up her boobs and lick the cum off them.
Riley Steele:
This next prank is perhaps porns most used scenario, the pizza delivery man! The girls have fun for a few seconds watching him pound on the door before he heads back around the house to see if there's anyone back there. In the meantime Riley disrobes and "locks" herself out of the house when Danny Mountain comes around and spots her. He climbs through an open window and lets her back in. When told of the amount for the pizza Riley lets it be known she's penniless and of course wearing no clothes there's no money anywhere but Danny will get a chance to find out if there's any stashed in her mouth or pussy-- of course with the use of his cock. Great to see Riley getting her own scene, I was afraid the shared one would be her only screen fuck time. Was a little disappointed they didn't capture cowgirl during the fucking though reverse cowgirl looked good. Another couples finish with a pop shot up her belly.
Jesse Jane:
The finale begins with Riley taking her leave just as the cable guy has arrived to do his repair work. Turns out it's Erik and Jesse has eyes for him right from the get go and the feeling was mutual. Jesse even goes so far as to refer to Johnny as her brother. Needless to say no repair work was done instead the two collapse together on the couch kissing and losing their clothes and tool belts! No shock that Erik gets in some quality time pleasuring Jesse's cookie before allowing the blonde bombshell to return the favor. They hit a few good positions here including mish, doggie and cowgirl before it's another pop literally on her pussy. We see in the window just off to the side Riley and Johnny have shown up so apparently the last prank was on Jesse!!
Extras & Final Thoughts:
This was another briskly paced show from Robby D not reaching 1 1/2 hours in length but there was plenty of good sex to fill even that short a running time. Jesse and Riley get two scenes each with Chanel assisting Riley in a hot 'n' wet shower hook up and Ava Addams showing Ryan his own happy ending in their tryst. Fans of any woman in this feature should feel pretty good picking this one up. Extra wise there's a fun but in keeping with this feature short BTS clip to check out featuring a lot of Jesse and Riley with a brief appearance by Ava who was kind enough to lift up her shirt showing off those rocking tits!

Apple boosts iAd developer payout to 70 percent
updated 09:50 am EDT, Mon April 2, 2012
Company struggling to make iAd relevant
As previously expected, Apple has announced an increase in iAd developer payouts from 60 to 70 percent. The change took effect April 1st, and was signaled by a memo sent to developers over the weekend. The iAd pay ratio is now equivalent to the App Store, where Apple claims a 30 percent cut of revenue.
The shift is believed to be less generous than a way of compensating developers for lower ad rates, and attracting new advertisers where possible. iAd has struggled to compete with other mobile ad networks; whereas iAd is restricted to iOS devices, alternatives like Google's AdMob are cross-platform, reaching a wider audience. iAd was also originally burdened with a high minimum spend, but that amount has shrunk multiple times in the past two years. More recently Apple dropped per-click fees from ads in favor of impressions.
iAd was originally positioned as a high-profile platform meant to attract mainstream advertisers, who were expected to spend millions of dollars. Companies began complaining about Apple's strict requirements and involvement in the development process however, and some major clients fell away. Interactivity was positioned as a major element, but relatively few ads take advantage of it.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) Fans of the Audubon Aquarium have passed up penguin-related monikers to name the aquariums youngest African blackfooted penguin chick Hubig, after a New Orleans snack pie company that burned down a year ago.
Aquarium spokeswoman Katie Smith said Monday that Hubig got 42 percent of 3,068 votes cast last week. Pippa for English Princess Kate Middletons sister and the baby penguins efforts to pip out of her shell got 28 percent.
Twenty percent chose Gwynne and 11 percent Namibia.
Gwynne is the name of a penguin in the animated movie The Pebble and the Penguin.
Namibia is the West African nation where the African penguin nests.
The Simon Hubig Pie Co. plans to rebuild in the same general area where its original factory stood.

Pacelli High School students, under the direction of Paul Marzsalkowski, will stage the 2002 Tony Award-winning musical "Thoroughly Modern Millie" at 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and March 13 through 15, and at 2 p.m. Sunday in the Fine Arts Center at Pacelli High School, 1301 Maria Drive.
"Thoroughly Modern Millie" is a rollicking musical with live orchestra that tells the story of Millie Dillmount, a young woman who moves from Kansas to New York City in 1922 with the intent to marry for money - a thoroughly modern pursuit in the Roaring '20s era, when women were first making their way into the workplace.
The song, dance and acting of Millie (Alexa Haynes) and the supporting cast and crew of more than 45 students will leave you humming, perhaps even dancing the Charleston as you make your way out of the Fine Arts Center following the performance.
Admission costs $8 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. Doors open 30 minutes before show time. Advance tickets are available at the Pacelli High School office or the SPACS central office, 1004 First St. For more information, call 715-341-2442.

Is it true ? A shock or emotional trauma can trigger the symptoms of a heart attack or other cardiac problem.
Yes it could lead to that but you should calm down and try to find help as fast as possible why do you have some problems my friend??

It shouldn't scare you if you get that sudden feeling after being disappointed just drink some green tea cry cose crying is good and tell someone about your problems but please don't sleep feeling traumatic ok???
A panic attack feels like this. You think you are dying.
Someone who does not have heart disease can experience all the symptoms of a heart attack due to a sudden stress. It's called "broken heart syndrome" or more technically "takotsubo cardiomyopathy" or "stress cardiomyopathy." It is not associated with blocked arteries, which are the usual cause of heart attack. Patients usually recover without any heart damage.
I think it is true, because a shock or emotional trauma can cause an anxiety attack which feels an awful lot like a heart attack. Or so I've been told.

2011: Year of the Deadline
Happy New Year everyone.
2011 is already off to a breakneck pace, and promises to be a year full of interesting, strange, & sleep-depriving projects (my favorite.) In the coming weeks, I'll make some wild pronouncements about what big things can be expected and when, but for now, most of my time (and my biggest deadline) is for the book I'm illustrating, titled The Field Guide to Democracy (written by Daria Vaisman for Free Press Books.) Hopefully I'll be able to show some of the many drawings I've done for that soon.
Beyond that, this week marks the beginning of my second semester teaching undergraduate art-business and entrepreneurship at SVA. Looking forward to another crop of students to empower (and teach how to protect their necks!)

My friend Meredith wrote this awesome post about a special surprise she received and now I am inspired to share with you a few stories from my book!
When Daniel & I were newlyweds we had new tile laid in our entry-way. Our contractor was having a tough time financially. After praying about it, Daniel felt led to give him an extra $200 (about all that was in our account at the time). I totally did not want to, but I also didn't want to get in the way of what God might be doing, so I went along with it. Pretty much the moment after the guy drove off I opened the fridge . . . empty. I turned around and said "Honey, when do you get paid next?" "Two weeks," he tells me. TWO WEEKS! Daniel had basically given away our grocery money and I hadn't realized it until it was too late! Like I said, we were newlyweds, so the budget thing was still a theory at this point.
Now, even though I wasn't originally into it, when Daniel and I gave the gift I determined to do it with a cheerful heart. So when we realized what had happened, we chose to consider whatever we had to do (eat one meal a day or fast) an act of worship. Then we agreed not to tell anyone. We didn't want to be like the pharisees in the Bible who fasted and wore sackcloth and made sure everyone knew about it.
That was a Friday, I think. Before the weekend was over our friend Marie showed up on our doorstep with big brown bag full of stuff for a gourmet meal . . . which she prepared! I don't think that has ever happened to us before or since. Then, Daniel's office hosted a party that was catered by Olive Garden and there was SO MUCH food left over that he brought it home and it fed us for two weeks. He brought home two full cheescakes people! We ate like royalty for FREE.
Okay, this next one does not make me look very good but it is still a good story. On this particular day I was in "remodel mode." As in, I wanted to completely gut our house and have it beautiful yesterday. Remodel mode included a lot of whining. Specifically, I was whining to Daniel on the phone that our walls were totally barren and the light fixtures in our guest bathroom looked like disco globes from the 1970s. Daniel is at work. Apparently he cannot come home and do something about this immediately. Click. Ten minutes later my mom calls. Someone she knows was cleaning out someone else's BARN and they found these beautiful NEW light fixtures and a few framed art pieces. Would I have any use for them? Again, my mom had no idea what was on my mind that day, but you know who did!
I could seriously go on and on with stories like this, but I'm going to stop now and spend some time with the hubby. Thanks Meredith for inspiring this trip down memory lane!
(By the way, can you believe how young we look in this photo? It was taken on our honeymoon. I miss being tan!)

I seem to recall that day, not the meal. Trying to forget the boy ;)!
Wow. Good memories. Good times. It's easy to forget those moments of provision when life throws new challenges at us.
I'm so glad to be home from SXSW. I had a blast, but there's nothing like spending time with my ladies!
Awesome post. Love to hear stories about the way the Lord provides. Makes me want to give to everyone I know!

Who's ready for Super Bowl Sunday? For those of us watching the game at home, it's a time to chill out with friends—ideally with a beer in one hand and a plate full of wings in the other. It's also the day when the only sartorial decision we have to make is which T-shirt we don't mind getting buffalo sauce on. For Fox sportscaster Erin Andrews, what to wear for the Super Bowl is a whole other story. Erin and her stylist, Lee Harris, opened up their pregame styling session to us to share some of Erin's potential sideline outfits. The best part? We'll be the first to show you what she ends up picking! Follow @glamour_fashion on Super Bowl Sunday to see her final look.
Super Bowl outfit option 1:
What exactly is Erin looking for in her Super Bowl look? She says, "I want to be warm. PERIOD. I have to be outside for four to five hours and need to be comfortable. But let's be honest—it's the Super Bowl in NYC. Who says you can't be warm and look fabulous?"
Super Bowl outfit option 2:
Luckily, Erin has her stylist, Lee Harris, to help find the perfect cute-yet-warm look. What he's looking for: "My ultimate goal is to find clothes that keep Erin warm in the freezing temperatures because if she isn't comfortable and warm, then she may not be able to focus on her work. Second, I want to find pieces that are camera-friendly but still fashionable—so nothing too bright or too pastel, no wild prints. Something that the mostly male football audience will appreciate but also something that their wives and girlfriends might think is cool."
Super Bowl outfit option 3:
Lee added, "For the Super Bowl I tried to find some textured knit scarves and sweaters that would add interest to the outfit and elevate a down puffer coat to the next level. I'm hoping it isn't too, too freezing on game day because—unfortunately—fashion becomes less and less of a priority the colder it gets."
Super Bowl outfit option 4:
Which look do you hope Erin chooses for the Super Bowl? Follow @glamour_fashion on Sunday for our exclusive first look at her final outfit! And of course, don't miss her live from the sidelines on Sunday starting at 6:30 P.M. on Fox!
Check out the outfit Erin chose! Burberry coat FTW!
