(Canadian Press) - Restorer Ella Hendriks shows pictures of the various stages of restoration of Vincent Van Gogh’s ’The Bedroom’ painting, rear left on easel, at the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Thursday Aug. 27, 2010. Vincent van Gogh must have been horrified when he returned to his studio from hospital early in 1889 to find one of his favorite paintings damaged by moisture. He pressed newspaper to the canvas to protect it from further deterioration, rolled it up and sent it to his brother Theo in Paris. Ella Hendriks could still see traces of newsprint when she looked at ’The Bedroom’ under a microscope, as she picked and scraped at earlier restorations of the canvas and removed yellowing varnish that had been brushed on 80 years ago. Hendriks has completed a painstaking six-month restoration of the masterpiece, which returns to its place on the wall of the Van Gogh Museum on Friday. (AP Photo/Peter Dejong)

(AP) - A clown known as Perlita takes pictures of Chilean flags representing the 33 trapped miners at the camp where the relatives wait outside the collapsed San Jose mine in Copiapo, Chile, Saturday Aug. 28, 2010. The miners, who have been trapped since the shaft they were working in collapsed on Aug. 5, were confirmed to be alive Sunday when they were reached by rescue teams via a small hole through which they could pass messages and see the miners with a camera.
