	mice to man
		In many cases, says Short, the cause may be a mutation in one of the genes on the Y chromosome that control spermatogenesis-the producfion of sperm from germ cells, which are known as spermatogonial stem cells.
		Short's proposal was inspired by a paper published in 1996 by a team led by Ralph Brinster of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, which showed that rat spermatogonial stem cells could produce mature sperm after being injected into the testes of mice with defective immune systems (Nature, vol 381, p 418).

	Roger Clarke's Asimov's Laws of Robotics
		Asimov investigated this in an early short story and later in a novel: A mind-reading robot interprets the first law as requiring him to give people not the correct answers to their questions but the answers that he knows they want to hear 14,16,17.
		In one short story, it transpires that "The Machine That Won the War" had been receiving only limited and poor- quality data as a result of enemy action against its receptors and had been processing it unreliably because of a shortage of experienced maintenance staff.
		In another early short story, the machines that manage Earth's economy implement a form of "artificial stupidity" by making intentional errors, thereby encouraging humans to believe that the robots are fallible and that humans still have a role to play.

		Roger was not the oldest of his parent's sons so he would not have been expected to inherit the family estates and wealth.
		It is likely that his parents would have expected him to have become a priest which was the usual route for a son, other than the first, of a family in their position.
		Although there is no record of Roger's education before he entered Oxford University it is likely that he would have been taught Latin and arithmetic by the local priest to prepare him for university studies (where all teaching was carried out in Latin).

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Obituary: Roger Short
		Roger Short, the British diplomat consul-general killed in Istanbul yesterday, aged 58, was a diplomat of the old school.
		Few of his recent predecessors had been as visible, or as effective, in the multiple roles that a consul-general is called upon to fulfil, especially in a teeming, polyglot city of 12m people, which is both a business centre and the inheritor of two great imperial civilisations.
		Short nonetheless quickly made his mark in the city, in a job that consists these days largely of promoting trade and investment between Britain and Turkey.
