Nursing home cat can sense death, ease passing

CHICAGO (Reuters) - When Oscar the Cat visits residents of the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Providence, Rhode Island, the staff jumps into action -- Oscar can sense within hours when someone is about to die.

And you just know that it makes the residents feel great when they see Oscar coming into their room, right?

What's that smell?

I was watching the morning news this morning, & left the room briefly. When I returned, I could still hear the newscaster, but the picture was pretty much gone.
"That's odd", I thought. So I changed the channel, & found the same on all the stations.
And there it was, that odd burning smell coming from the back of the entertainment center… .

You had a good run, Magnavox. For twelve years you've succeeded in keeping us distracted from other things we really meant to get done. And provided some good entertainment along the way, as well.

  MIST OPPORTUNITY: JUST A DAY AT THE BEACH

Breast misting is a delicate art.
"I try and go everywhere," said Travis Emmons during my training. "No concentration."
As the "mood director" at Tao Beach, which opened on May 5 at The Venetian, it's Emmons' responsibility to stroll the deck in search of sun-worshippers who are insufficiently moistened. On a searing June afternoon, about 20 of them were attractive women who won't be sporting tan lines until August.
