There are some heart warming things in the world after all.

Costa Concordia: divers launch rescue mission for boy's teddy bear
"The child's father told rescuers that the little boy had been unable to sleep since the disaster and desperately missed his toy.

He wrote to islanders who had given shelter to him and his son after they were brought ashore when the 950ft long vessel ran aground on the Italian island of Giglio on the night of Jan 13.

Islanders passed the letter to the island's mayor, Sergio Ortelli, who in turn gave it to rescue divers, who entered the hull on a special mission, finding the cabin where the boy had been staying and retrieving the soft toy – bedraggled but intact."
Nothing like the broken heart of a small child to move the adults into action. My eyes feel a little teary.

Sorry, it was irresistible.

Given enough time, I'm sure someone could come up with a link between the two; preferably one that pays.
