And, he says the world of television has it's boxers in a bunch about TiVo and that the magazine industry should band together taking advantage of the scare."TiVo scares TV people," said Clinton. "In our business you have the simple and powerful fact that the consumer has made a commitment to the product. |

- New Scientist -- Fish are capable of experiencing pain. This is the conclusion of researchers who observed rainbow trout behaviour after the animals were given injections that would be painful to people. Other scientists reject their interpretation, but the study could still be used by anti-angling campaigners. The argument over whether fishing is a "blood sport" in the same vein as fox hunting and hare coursing has hinged on whether fish feel pain in a similar way to animals. If they do not, as most researchers currently believe, then the animal welfare argument against angling largely falls apart. |

- New Scientist -- Traffic pollution damages sperm and may reduce fertility in young and middle-aged men, reveals an Italian study of motorway tollgate attendants. The attendants, who spend six hours a day sitting in a roadside booth, showed poorer sperm quality than men of the same age living in the same area but not exposed to the same level of exhaust fumes. Researchers blamed nitrogen oxides and lead for the adverse effects. Although the sperm counts of tollgate workers were normal, their sperm performed less well in tests measuring the ability to reach and penetrate an egg. "The sperm of the study group was more feeble and less active, so it has lower fertility potential," says Michele De Rosa, study lead at the University of Naples. |

- New Scientist -- Mice make signposts out of leaves and twigs so that they do not get lost in fields, new research shows. This behaviour surprised Pavel Stopka and David Macdonald, who were studying wood mice captured near their laboratory at the University of Oxford, UK. Primates and some birds are known to use sticks and stones to place markers within their territory. "But no-one would expect mice to be so clever," says Stopka. The excellent navigational abilities of the wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) have been extensively studied, but their way-marking trick had remained undiscovered until now. |

- New York Times: Environement -- An unusually high number of sea otter deaths this month off the California coast has state and federal wildlife officials worried that the sea otter population, in decline since the mid-1990's, may be experiencing troubles more serious than previously thought. Six dead sea otters have washed ashore in the last several days, bringing to 45 the number of dead or stranded otters in California in April. That is more than double the average number for the month in the last decade, the officials said. "We have had other times when mortality was high, but we attributed it to various things, and it tapered off," said Greg Sanders, the southern sea otter recovery coordinator for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. |
