Wed, 09 Nov 2011 05:50:01 +0100 (Reuters) - Mothers and grandmothers pray for their family members' success in the college entrance examinations at a Buddhist temple in Seoul November 9, 2011. In South Korea there is no higher achievement than to be accepted by a prestigious university. As a result, many students prepare for these entrance exams from an early age, often studying up to 16 hours a day for years to take this test. This government-sponsored scholastic aptitude test will be administered on November 10 this year throughout the nation. REUTERS/Jo Yong-Hak (SOUTH KOREA - Tags: EDUCATION SOCIETY)

The surviving grandmother of a baby girl rescued from a collapsed building is taken to an ambulance in Ercis, near the eastern Turkish city of Van, October 25, 2011.

The baby's mother, Semiha, and the grandmother, Gulsaadet, were also brought out alive on stretchers to jubilant cries from onlookers who followed the dramatic rescue under cold, pouring rain.
