------------------ The Myracle of Birth --------------------
PAHOKEE, Fla. - Kenyetta Biggs' baby didn't want to wait any longer to be born after she crashed her car into a canal. The 21-year-old girl ended up giving birth alone while still trapped in the wrecked vehicle waiting for help. Palm Beach County sheriff's Deputy Stephen Maxwell noticed a head poking out through some tall grass along the canal bank, and found Biggs trying to get out of the partially submerged car. "As I looked around her I saw the newborn baby laying in the passenger seat with the placenta and umbilical cord still attached," Maxwell said. Authorities said Biggs was on her way to the hospital when a strong contraction caused her to lose control of the car. Biggs and her new daughter, named Myracle, were taken to a hospital where authorities reportthey are doing well.

- Passport Office Doesn't Shrug Off Bare Shoulders In Photo -
SHEFFIELD, England - The passport application of a 5-year- old girl in Sheffield, England, was rejected because her sundress showed her shoulders, which might offend Muslims. Hanna Edwards' mother, Jane, was told by a postal clerk the passport office would reject the photo because it might offend people in a Muslim country. "I was incensed," said Edwards, a family doctor, who wanted to take her daughter to France. "I went back home and checked the form. Nowhere did it say anything about covering up shoulders. If it had, I would have done so." "How can the shoulders of a 5-year-old girl offend anyone?" she asked London's Daily Telegraph. Edwards had Hanna's photo retaken, shoulders covered. The post office accepted the application.
