I want to be one of those people on the plaza with a sign that gets interviewed by Al Roker and is behind the anchors. Also, where do you have to stand?

This morning, I noticed that my cat was very nervous/skittish. He is normally energetic and affectionate. I thought that maybe he had just been spooked. However, later, in the afternoon, he was still like this. He is acting very afraid, his eyes widen at the slightest sudden sound, even familiar ones. He is also very tense and jumpy. I am very concerned about him and wondering what is the matter with him. Any ideas?

Additional Details

We have now discovered that he seems to be absolutely TERRIFIED of people walking towards him while holding an object, even something harmless, like a backpack or a sweatshirt. His eyes widen, he looks panicked, and he flees when this happens.

I will be 15 (the age you need to be to travel unaccompanied w/ no restrictions on Amtrak) in a few months, and I want to take a trip on Amtrak to visit a relative. However, getting there requires a transfer, and Amtrak doesn't let anyone under 15 switch trains. So, can I book the trip online, but say that I am 15 to avoid the hassle of being an Unaccompanied Minor? How would they find out?

Amtrak Unaccompanied Minor Policy:

Children 8 through 14 years old may travel unaccompanied on Amtrak trains under the following rules and restrictions:

* Travel is permitted only on Amtrak trains. Travel is not permitted on Thruway motorcoach service, or on any other other connecting services.

* The scheduled departure time may be no earlier than 6 am, and arrival time no later than 9 pm.

* No transfers of any kind are permitted.

* Both boarding and arrival stations must be staffed. (Please note that even certain staffed stations do not allow for unaccompanied minors.)

* An adult at least 18 years of age must bring the child who will be traveling as an unaccompanied minor to the station. Both the adult and child must be at the boarding station at least one hour prior to departure time to allow for the required interview and to complete necessary forms. The adult must provide valid current identification that meets our ID policies.

* We require that the child be interviewed. On the day of travel, a station agent or other appropriate authority will directly interview the child to determine whether the child is capable of traveling alone.

* For each unaccompanied minor traveling alone, the adult bringing the child to the departure station must complete and sign a release form.

* The child must wear an Amtrak issued wristband for the duration of travel.

* The adult must remain at the station until the train has departed.

* Upon arrival, an adult (at least 18 years old) must be present to pick up the child. The adult must display valid current identification meeting Amtrak's ID policies.

* Full adult fares are charged. Tickets for unaccompanied children may not be purchased online.

* The unaccompanied child may not have any life-threatening food allergies.

I am looking for a ultra-zoom camera to upgrade from my Canon S3 IS. I was looking at the following:

Canon SX10 IS

Kodak Z980

Olympus SP-590UZ

FujiFilm FinePix S8100fd

Nikon CoolPix P80

Panasonic DMC-FZ28K

Which one of these will take the best pictures overall?

Thanks.

I am just wondering which one they prefer their pilots to be from.

I live in Rhode Island, and would like a job to be able to make some money.

I have the flexibility to travel anytime and it doesn't matter how long I go for. The airline can also be anything, even if it takes 6 stops.

Is there such a thing as a free flight tracker which shows the exact aircraft (ex. N129UA) being used on the flight?

What are some planespotting locations at or around Boston Logan Airport?

If the winds are blowing from the East-North-East, which runway(s) would arriving and departing aircraft use, and from where would the best place to view them be?

I am going to be flying Skybus nonstop from Pease International Airport in Portsmouth, NH to Charlotte County Airport in Punta Gorda, Florida and I was wondering what it is like to fly.

I was wondering where I could find a place to take pictures of the planes on approach, landing, taxiing, taking off, and flying away at TF Green Airport in Providence, Rhode Island
