An electrician snapped a picture of Miss Kate's room before the crew was to begin working on it. He noticed a small wisp in the digital image and showed it to others on the crew. They laughed at him and told him he was paranoid. The next day they brought their own cameras and took pictures in her room. Their images had wisps too."When it came time to work on Miss Kate's room they wouldn't go in there," Herbst said. The crew's foreman had to work on her room by himself.A year ago, Miss Kate appeared in a photograph of work crews raising a corner of the building that had sunk. The snapshot shows the perfect silhouette of a woman in a large piece of plastic sheeting. There she is, plain as day, watching over the workers as they lift her hotel.Over the years workers have told of feeling mysterious cold spots and experiencing other unexplained phenomena, such as wine glasses that break on their own, doors that suddenly lock and lights that come on.The power of suggestion may be responsible for some, if not all, encounters people have had with Miss Kate.

Wal-Mart Updates Growth Plans

New store growth remains part of the Wal-Mart Stores U.S. strategy and more emphasis will be placed on relocating and expanding existing discount stores to supercenters during the same time periods. Declines in capital spending at Wal-Mart Stores U.S. will be offset by increases at Wal-Mart International, resulting in worldwide spending of $14 to $15 billion in each of the next two years.

The Company expects to add 48 to 49 million square feet globally, which is an increase of 6 percent in fiscal year 2008 over fiscal year 2007. During each of the following two fiscal years, Wal-Mart expects to increase square footage between 48 million and 52 million square feet, an increase of 5 to 6 percent.

Telecom, remystified

Quick: Name a consumer offering, besides gasoline, that has been getting more expensive, not less. It's not food or clothing or electronics or anything sold at Wal-Mart. But take a look at your cable TV bill. Odds are high that the channels you subscribe to cost considerably more than five or 10 years ago. In fact, the price of cable has risen by nearly 70 percent over the past 10 years, nearly twice the rate of inflation.

Wild Card -- Tuesday PM

Larry Craigs office telling Betsy Russell/Eye on Boise why she prefers to be with her teen rather that run for Congress.
