Morning Roundup: What would Jesus drink? edition

Good morning, Houston. Even if you don't have a pizza pan with the Virgin Mary's silhouette on it, don't despair: You could still own a half-liter bottle of holy drinking water. The water is being marketed by a man in Stockton, Calif., who has the liquid blessed by Catholic and Anglican priests with plans to expand the line to other faiths as well. One warning: The water's label carries the note that sinners who take a swig may experience burning, intense heat, sweating and skin irritations. So ... who wants to try it first?

>> A story of survival: Coast Guard officials said yesterday that 13-year-old Melquisedec Acevedo, the only survivor so far of a boating accident in the Gulf, survived because the three adults with him held him above the water line during some of the 28 hours he was in the cold water. The boy was the least likely of the group to survive, but he did: "It's pretty amazing," Petty Officer 3rd Class Eric Barhan, the swimmer who rescued Acevedo, said. Two of the three adults on the boat have been found dead, and the third is still missing; the group's boat sank off the Galveston shore Sunday during a fishing trip to celebrate Acevedo's birthday.

>> Suicide in The Woodlands?: Michael Cahoon, the 22-year-old Woodlands man who died after he was hit by a school bus Tuesday, might have thrown himself under the bus, a DPS trooper investigating the incident said. "Apparently, he waited for the front of the bus to go by and was actually run over by the right rear tires," Trooper James DeFrance said. Cahoon suffered head and upper body injuries in the impact and died later at St. Luke's in The Woodlands; DeFrance said he believes Cahoon was "mentally distressed."

>> Wow, that's a lot of money: The estimated $840,000 the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo could have to refund to ticketholders affected by audio problems at Sunday's Hannah Montana concert won't affect Rodeo scholarship programs, officials said yesterday. Fans in certain sections of Reliant Stadium only heard echoes of Montana's performance after a breaker in the audio system blew, and they were not amused; Rodeo CEO Leroy Shafer said the refunds will come from this year's carnival, concession and ticket revenue, which is expected to exceed expectations.

>> Today's weather: Beautiful again. Today should be a lot like yesterday, with chilly morning temperatures giving way to an afternoon high around 72 under partly cloudy skies. Tonight, look for a low of 51 with patchy fog moving in toward morning.
