A Swedish woman photographs a swan, and discovers a frozen body part in ice. While visiting the royal palace in Stockholm early March, Marita Larsson, took a picture of a swan in the river. When she returned home and developed the photos, Larsson discovered a peculiar image. After blowing up the photo, she realized the image was a hand sticking out of the thawing ice. According to the Stockholm police, the hand could belong to one of two possible fatalities. A man reportedly committed suicide in late January and his body was still not recovered. Also, police fished out various parts of a woman's body from that river last week, and have yet to identify her.

Janeal Lee has muscular dystrophy and uses a scooter to get around, but a snapshot showing her standing has cost her title as Ms. Wheelchair Wisconsin. The national board is supporting state pageant officials in their decision claiming a photo taken by a local newspaper would send the wrong message to other contestants and runs the risk of offending many as well. In the picture, Lee is seen standing with some of the students she teaches at Kaukauna High School. The national treasurer says pageant contestants are mostly seen in their scooters or wheelchairs. Judy Hoit also says "We can't have title holders out there walking when they're seen in the public. " Lee, who's 30, had hoped to compete in the national pageant along with her sister who will represent Minnesota. But, now she is disappointed saying "I've been made to feel as if I can't represent the disabled citizens of Wisconsin because I'm not disabled enough. " Runner-up Michelle Kearney of Milwaukee will now represent Wisconsin in this summer's national competition in New York.
