Well, we've told you about all of today's nonsense, chaos, and stupidity.  Now here's "The Good News."   --The Humane Society of New York has found a way to get more people to adopt their rescue animals.  Instead of taking pictures of them in cages or dog runs like most shelters, they're working with fashion photographer Richard Phibbs. --He's worked with Armani and Calvin Klein, and gives the animals professional backdrops, and accessories like bows, scarves, and jewelry.   --It sounds obvious that taking the time to create a nicer photo would make the pets look better . . . and it works:  It's caused a big jump in the number of adoptions.   --Richard has done three photo shoots.  The first time, the shelter saw a 50% increase in adoption applications.  The second time, it was 75%.  About 60% of the animals he recently photographed were adopted.  (Daily Mail)
