Crossword-setting plagiarism row
BODY:
Journalist Oliver Roeder of FiveThirtyEight.com has uncovered a dastardly tale of plagiarism in the normally serene and cerebral world of crossword setting.
EXTENDED BODY:
A plagiarism scandal is rocking the normally cerebral and sedate world of the crossword puzzle.
There are claims that a crossword-setting business called Universal Uclick, responsible for thousands of crosswords syndicated around the world, has ripped off and copied other people's work.
The crosswords in question appeared online and in some of the world's biggest newspaper titles, including USA Today and the Los Angeles Times, and the allegations have led to the editor at the centre of the controversy stepping down from his job this week, while the claims are investigated.
Simon Morton talks to journalist Oliver Roeder of FiveThirtyEight.com, who uncovered the story:

Consumer genetics: the legal implications
BODY:
From patenting genes to privacy, how will the emerging field of consumer genetics challenge our existing laws? Colin Gavaghan is the New Zealand Law Foundation Director in Law & Emerging Technologies at the University of Otago's Law Faculty.
EXTENDED BODY:
You can now get your genome sequenced for under $1,000, and that price is dropping by the week.
So what happens when a technology like genetic sequencing becomes a mainsteam consumer product, and starts cropping up in genealogy, legal evidence, and in medical testing? How will this challenge our existing laws in areas like privacy, criminal law, insurance and intellectual property?
Colin Gavaghan is looking at the legal implications here in New Zealand, and around the world:

Air pollution link to childhood behavioural problems
BODY:
Dr Chris Smith of The Naked Scientists on a US study suggesting a link between exposure to air pollution during pregnancy and later childhood behavioural problems. Also, brain cell implants that could help people recover from damage to their brain or spinal cord.
EXTENDED BODY:
A link has been revealed between exposure to air pollution during pregnancy and later childhood behavioural problems.
Simon Morton gets the latest from Dr Chris Smith of The Naked Scientists and Columbia University Medical Center researcher Amy Margolis:
Dr Chris Smith says that air pollution has already been identified as a significant public health risk by the World Health Organisation. In 2012 the WHO said that one in eight deaths around the world are linked to poor air quality, describing air pollution as "the world's largest single environmental health risk."
But a study by Columbia University Medical Center researcher Amy Margolis, published this week in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, suggests that premature death is not the only risk arising from breathing bad air.
The researchers followed 462 pairs of mothers and their children over a decade. It found that children who were exposed in the womb to higher levels of emissions from vehicles, coal and oil burning, home heating and tobacco smoke, were at increased risk of developing behavioural problems as they grow up.
"This study indicates that prenatal exposure to air pollution impacts development of self-regulation and as such may underlie the development of many childhood psychopathologies that derive from deficits in self-regulation, such as ADHD, OCD, substance use disorders, and eating disorders" ~ Amy Margolis.

Surge in demand for adult nappies
BODY:
The market for adult nappies is surging. Lauren Coleman-Lochner is a retail and consumer reporter for Bloomberg News who's looked at the sector.
EXTENDED BODY:
The market for adult nappies is surging. Nappy-makers like Kimberley Clark and Proctor & Gamble are predicting that sales of adult incontinence garments will match baby diapers in the next ten years.
The US adult diaper market is forecast to grow by 48 percent to almost US$3 billion within the next four years while in Japan demand for adult nappies has already outstripped baby nappy sales.

Choosing the right pet insurance
BODY:
Luke Harrison has been comparing the pet insurance policies on the market for consumer.org.nz.
EXTENDED BODY:
New Zealand has one of the highest pet ownership rates in the world, but caring for a cat, rat, dog, or rabbit can be costly.
A handful of insurance companies here in New Zealand are offering pet insurance policies, so for a monthly premium you can ease the pain of big vet bills and vaccination costs. Some policies will even pay out to help you find a replacement if the worst happens and your pet dies.
The cover, the premiums and the exclusions can vary widely, so it pays to do your research and read the small print.
Luke Harrison has done just that, comparing New Zealand's pet insurance policies for consumer.org.nz. He tells Simon Morton his findings:

Phthalates: can they harm us?
BODY:
Phthalates are a class of chemicals that make plastic flexible, putting the squeeze in your bath toys, and help make your cling film cling. But can prolonged exposure to them harm us? Toxicologist Professor Ian Shaw of The University of Canterbury has been weighing up the evidence.
EXTENDED BODY:
Phthalates are a class of chemicals that make plastic flexible; they put the squeeze in your bath toys and help make your cling film cling.
Handy, but are they bad for our health? Well ingesting too many phthalates over a prolonged period has been linked to disruptions in the body's communication system, our hormones.
So how much is too much? And with phthalates being phased out in some areas are the products replacing them any better for us? Toxicologist Professor Ian Shaw of The University of Canterbury has been weighing up the latest evidence.
