    • It's not just the new paths for runners, cyclists, and walkers that have visitors to Atlanta's BeltLine area so excited to visit. Sure, enthusiasts of the new and improved outdoor spaces are hoping that it will lead to future developments all over the city, but the main attraction at the Eastside Trail is a black cat, affectionately called "Piper."

      Piper the cat has staked a claim on a drainpipe along the trail, and she has quickly gained fans, who regularly stop by to bring the furry feline food, love, and fan mail, which they call "Tail Mail." There is even a tiny homemade mailbox placed near the pipe for people to leave Piper notes.

      One person stopped by to see Piper, but was not able to see her, and they left a note promising to return. Part of the note read, "I'm sorry we missed you. Your home looks lovely."

      If you are now a fan of Piper, but you do not live in Atlanta and do not plan on visiting anytime soon, there is no need to worry. You can keep up with Piper's happenings on

    • Losing something that you hold dear can send you into a real panic. That's what happened to Christi Hansen of Evansville, Indiana, when she lost the diamond from her engagement ring. Hansen had worn the ring since 1995, when her now-husband gave it to her as he asked her to marry him, but one day she noticed that the marquise-shaped diamond at the center of her ring was missing.

      Hansen, who works at a brake-supply company, told NBC 14 News that she retraced her steps and her co-workers helped her look for the diamond, but to no avail. At home, Hansen laid out all her trash on a tarp, pulled on some rubber gloves, and searched through every piece in search of her missing diamond. Still, no luck -- it was nowhere to be found.

      Her husband eventually bought her another ring. Then, four and a half years went by. Last Thursday, Wayne Sutton, a printer technician, went to Hansen's place of employment to perform some routine service. Sutton happened to work on Hansen's printer first.

      When he

    • Quick! What's the best way to sell a house or lease an apartment? Everyone has a different bit of advice for selling a property fast. But most have never thought including a pet on the action would be a key factor. What if that pet photo-bombed all the pictures you put up in the online ad? Would that entice potential renters?

      There may be a canine photo-bombing legend in the making, thanks to a Craigslist ad and Buzzfeed. Buzzfeed posted an article titled, "This Photo-Bombing Dog Is the Best Thing to Happen to Craigslist in a Long Time," and it has already been 'liked' more than 1,000 times on Facebook directly from the site.

      The family's pet makes an appearance in every picture posted on the apartment listing, from the bedrooms to the kitchen to the dining room. It should be noted that while the pooch appears in all of the pictures, it's not a full-body shot each time --sometimes it's just the top of his head -- a true photo-bombing pro move.

      The apartment for rent is located in the

    • School bus drivers have to follow a strict set of rules in order to ensure the safety of the children on their vehicles. One of those rules for bus drivers in Broward County, Florida, is not to talk on the phone while driving the bus.

      Driver Rossana Lucas was suspended for five days by the school board when video surveillance footage of her taking a phone call while driving a school bus surfaced. But the circumstances surrounding whom she was talking to and why she took the call are now part of her appeal to get the school board's decision overturned.

      Lucas's son, Marine Michael Alfaro, called from Afghanistan, where he is currently deployed. Lucas had not heard from him in more than seven months and said that she knew in her heart that it was her son calling, and that is why she chose to answer the phone. Lucas said she also knew that if she did not answer, that Alfaro would have to wait another three to four months to call her again.

      In addition to the phone call being from her son,
