Among notices on the church's bulletin board: Performance elsewhere of the play Animal Farm, adapted by Nelson Bond from George Orwell's novel. If this is the Nelson Bond who wrote sf, at least one bibliography is incomplete.
***From the BBC News website, Northern Ireland section: "The Guardian covers NI band Ash's decision to criss-cross Britain in alphabetical order, appearing everywhere from Ashford in Kent through Bradford, Carlisle to Ventor, and a bit of a cheat - Exmouth.
"They will end up in the tiny parish of Zennor in Cornwall, where a sell-out crowd of 75 will pack out the village hall."

Experimental treatments restore partial vision to blind people
Two experimental treatments, a retinal prosthesis and fetal tissue transplant, restored some vision to people with blinding eye diseases. The findings, presented at Neuroscience 2009, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world's largest source of emerging news on brain science and health, may lead to new treatments for the blind. Researchers also reported that an engineered protein restored vision in an animal model and identified ways to improve stem cell treatments.

Young men who voted for Republican John McCain or Libertarian candidate Robert Barr in the 2008 presidential election suffered an immediate drop in testosterone when the election results were announced, according to a study by researchers at Duke University and the University of Michigan.
"In contrast, men who voted for the winner, Democrat Barack Obama, had stable testosterone levels immediately after the outcome.
"Female study participants showed no significant change in their testosterone levels before and after the returns came in."

A new study from Rice University's Jones Graduate School of Business finds that Americans who believe in equality are more-impulsive shoppers. And it has implications for how to market products differently in countries where shoppers are more likely to buy on impulse.
