Recently it as revealed that a cat has predicted 5o deaths at a Nursing Home. This is quiet strange. The cat has a habit of curling up with the Dying.
Dr David Dosa, a geriatrician and assistant professor at Brown University, said that five years of records showed Oscar rarely erring, sometimes proving medical staff at the New England nursing home wrong in their predictions over which patients were close to death.
The cat, now five and generally unsociable, was adopted as a kitten at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Centre in Providence, Rhode Island, which specialises in caring for people with severe dementia.

Is this real or fake, towing of a hearse at a funeral? It appears to me that the hearse tow is real, but that the funeral part may be split into the video.

Michael Jackson Funeral News| MJ Doctor Conrad Murray to be arrested
A clerk at the small courtroom near LAX tells people the arraignment is set for Friday at 11am local time, yet the attorney’s for Dr. Murray have been told nothing and are very frustrated. As for investigators, I have been told they didn’t really want this case and have called it a “loser case” because it is so difficult to prosecute.
As one told me, “both sides are gonna have doctors testify. Both sides are gonna have medical experts with opposite opinions. Now we are going to have a jury of common people off of the street with no medical background try and wade through this stuff??”

Illinois still does not Know Who regulates Illinois Funeral Directors Association-R. Brian Burkhardt
1 Feb2010
A recent editorial in the State Journal Register(Springfield, IL) pointed out that Illinois regulators still do not know who is supposed to regulate the IFDA preneed trust. This is amazing. In 2007 Illinois Funeral Directors first became aware of problems in the trust fund.
“Here may be only one fact readers really need to know in order to understand how the state allowed this to happen: The state comptroller and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, which reports to the governor, cannot agree — even today — on whose job it is to regulate such trusts.
Comptroller Dan Hynes’ spokeswoman told reporter Bruce Rushton that Hynes’ office only regulat
es entities that sell pre-need contracts. The comptroller doesn’t regulate the trusts that keep the funds used to pay out the pre-need contracts. That’s the job of IDFPR, according to Hynes spokeswoman Carol Knowles.
But Sue Hofer, spokeswoman for IDFPR, said that “by law, pre-need funeral trusts were and are subject to oversight by the comptroller’s office,” citing the state Burial Funds Act.
We have no idea who’s right. The portion of law cited by IDFPR only says that trust agreements have to be “filed” with the comptroller. It’s reasonable to wonder whether the lack of agreement over which agency is responsible for regulating such trusts is simply part of the fight for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination between Hynes and Gov. Pat Quinn.

JD Salinger has died. The author of Catcher in the Rye has passed on. Sheer Brilliance:
“If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.
The Catcher in the Rye
Chapter 1, opening words of book
I was half in love with her by the time we sat down. That’s the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they’re not much to look at, or even if they’re sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. Girls. ……. They can drive you crazy. They really can.
