Little Audrey's bedside manna
Article Abstract:
Catholics across the US are showing strong interest in miraculous events associated with 14-year-old Audrey Santo, who lives in Worcester, MA. She suffered an accident in a swimming pool at the age of three, and is now in a medical state known as akinetic mutism. She is dependent on feeding and breathing tubes, and can barely move. The statues and paintings of Christ and the Virgin Mary in her home weep blood and drip with oil, and Catholics have designated her a 'suffering soul.' It is now necessary to wait 18 months for an audience with her.

Life's a beach to comb
Article Abstract:
A wide variety of items can be found by beachcombers, ranging from products from sunken container ships to items from fishermen's boats. Curtis Ebbesmeyer publishes the 'Beachcombers' Alert' website and newsletter, with beachcombers encouraged to report their finds. Ebbesmeyer is keen to trace the paths taken by floating objects and uses a computer program to predict when and where items will be washed ashore after falling into the sea. Ebbesmeyer also traces floating corpses for the police.
