A statement issued at the time said the spinal tap procedure was to relieve a condition common in the elderly — an excessive level of cerebrospinal fluid resulting in pressure on the brain. Saturday's answer 11-14 Chulabharn said the king returned to normal health after being treated at the hospital where he has been staying for more than two years, according to the official royal news broadcast Friday night. The king, who took the throne in 1946, was originally hospitalized on Sept. 19, 2009, with a lung inflammation. Official statements said he remained at the hospital for physical therapy and nourishment to recover his strength. Thailand's floods stress ailing king WORLD ASSOCIATED PRESS Chulabhorn, the king's youngest daughter, said Friday during a visit to flood victims in Northaburai province north of Bangkok that King Bhumibol had gone into shock and lost consciousness after suffering abdominal bleeding and a sharp drop in his blood pressure. She said that about 800 cc of blood had been found in his bowel movements. News that the health of 83-year-old King Bhumilbum Adulyadej took what Princess Chulabhorn described as a brief turn for the worse comes as a flood have inundated much of Thailand, including parts of Bangkok and its suburbs. More than 500 people have died, damage is estimated at several billion dollars and central Bangkok remains threatened. Thailand's alling king — the world's longest-reigning monarch — recently suffered a health problem that caused him to temporarily lose consciousness, his daughter revealed, linking the incident to stress over the country's flood crisis. Chulaborn said Friday that after the May operation, the king "seemed to be at ease" until the flood crisis. The king has been shown from time to time on television speaking — sometimes with difficulty — at royal functions held at the hospital. Chulabhorn said doctors told her the recent bleeding could have been caused by concern over the flooding. PAGE 6A "So I asked the nurse what he had been doing in the past few days," Chulabhorn said. "It turned out that he had been watching news."

She said a backup tree has been selected and will be brought in this week. Macy's at Atlanta's Lenox Mall must cut down a new Christmas tree after the 60-foot white pine selected for the holidays snapped while being hoisted atop the department store Sunday morning. Melissa Goff with Macy's said the store usually selects its tree from a Georgia forest, but drought conditions have made it difficult to find a healthy tree this year. It's not the first time the store has had to get a backup tree: the 2004 tree also broke. ODD NEWS The tree will be decorated between now and Thanksgiving Day, when the store will hold a lighting ceremony, a 63-year tradition. Associated Press THE NEXT PANEL ODD NEWS COLLEGE SKI & BOARD WEEK Residents living in a desert area northeast of Phoenix noticed the black cat with white patches at the very top of the 30- to 40-foot cactus. Cat jumps on cactus, lands on its own feet A lot of cats get stuck in trees, but an Arizona kitty was perched atop a giant saguaro cactus for at least three days before finally coming down on its own. At times, the feline would stand up and survey the area, possibly trying to figure out how to get down — or how it got up there. Helicopter video from ABC15. com shows the cat eventually climbing down the cactus Friday. It started making its way down head-first before turning around and scooting backward. It finally took a big leap and landed on its feet before wandering into the desert. Associated Press PLEASE RECYCLE THIS Nick Sambaluk NEWS PAPER YOU'LL BE UP, & WE WILL BE TOO!
