Cat traveller

A British cat who has been missing for eight months has been found - in the US.
Jerry was spotted by a US woman watching a webcam, who saw him most evenings, bedding down on the doorstep of a hotel in Polperro.
She then posted a message on the forum of the Cornish village Jerry came from. Jerry's owner Abbi Rendell said: "Now we are trying to catch him there - but he is proving a bit elusive. "But at least I know he is safe and well."

Money for nothing

NASA are to pay volunteers $17,000 to lie in bed for three months.
The space company wants people to do nothing to simulate some of the effects of zero gravity.
As well as staying in bed and doing nothing, volunteers will also have astronauts visit them.
The job advert said: "In order to study a person as if they were in space without gravity, NASA scientists are paying subjects $17,000 to stay in bed for 90 straight days. The study will follow the Bed Rest Project standard model and be conducted at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. Participants will live in a special research unit for the entire study and be fed a carefully controlled diet."

Polish woman who saved some 2,500 Jewish children from Holocaust dies

WARSAW, Poland (AP) - The family of a Polish social worker credited with rescuing 2,500 Jewish children from the Nazis during the Holocaust says she has died.
Irena Sendler's daughter, Janina Zgrzembska, says her 98-year-old mother died Monday morning in a Warsaw hospital.
Sendler organized the rescue of Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto during Nazi Germany's brutal World War II occupation.

Her team of some 20 people saved the children between October 1940 and April 1943, when the Nazis burned the ghetto, shooting the residents or sending them to death camps.
Sendler was later honored by Israel's Yad Vashem memorial for her heroism.

FARROW: 'DARFUR IS MY MOST IMPORTANT ROLE'

American actress MIA FARROW has hailed her harrowing campaign to end violence in Sudan's Darfur region as the "most important endeavour" of her life.
The Rosemary's Baby star has publicly condemned China for its alleged support of genocide in Darfur and used every opportunity to pressure Beijing into using its leverage on the Sudanese government.
The actress - who is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador - claims the enormous task has taken over her life, but she has no regrets about the undertaking.
She says, "It has eclipsed everything in my life except for my children. I wasn't there when two of my grandchildren were born.
"That was an immense personal sacrifice for me and immense sacrifice for my sons.
"There is so much head-banging, it is hard to call it rewarding. But it is certainly my most important endeavour.
"Whether it succeeds or not, I know the effort is the most important thing I have ever undertaken."
