Baltimore man plans cornea gift to Israel patients
Melvin B. Aiken, a Maryland life insurer, will take corneas from the Maryland Eye Bank to transplant into at least two blind Israelis. He credits a 1956 cornea transplant for saving his own sight and says he will carry the specimens in a special container on his flight, meeting no recipients but hoping two surgeries occur soon after arrival.

Kitchen energy waste study finds cooks use fuel inefficiently
National Bureau of Standards researchers used 58 women near Gaithersburg to test home meals on gas and electric ranges. They found an inefficient cook may use 50 percent more energy, with the “worker cook” opening oven doors and always using the right front burner, suggesting burner placement changes and better range use could save energy.
