...Stem cells generated by this method are ideal not just because they are free of political and moral baggage. They can also be coaxed into becoming any type of tissue, and then be transplanted back into the donor with little risk of rejection. Still, these cells are far from ready for medical use. The viruses used to ferry the genes that manipulate the cells can introduce genetic mutations and cancer. And with myriad ways to reprogram a cell, sorting out the best ones will take time - meaning that stem cells from embryos will remain useful (and controversial) for a while...
While urban beekeeping is buzzing in Europe and the U.S.--San Francisco is full of busy bees, and Chicago's green-roof program provides ideal space for hives--it is illegal in Manhattan, where honeybees fall under an ordinance that forbids keeping animals that are "wild, ferocious, fierce, dangerous or naturally inclined to do harm." The solution, it seems, is to put hives up high, where they will be undetected and give the bees easy access to rooftop gardens. David Graves, 57, who has hives on the Upper West Side, in Harlem and on a 12-story hotel...
...best of those proposed. But courageous? Why hasn't she submitted such legislation since she became a Senator six years ago?

Now is the ideal time to present it to voters as a key part of her platform. And Iowa, where the first votes will be cast, was the ideal place to unveil it. If that isn't slippery, cold and calculating, I don't know what...
...some seriously compromising positions. “A lot of times a big guy would have to step out and help, and I would have to rotate down and end up on Clifford,” Lin said. “Obviously that’s not an ideal match up. I was trying to use my quick-ins to get around him and be scrappy to get steals.” The height advantage also gave Holy Cross a huge advantage on the boards. The hosts out-rebounded Harvard 33-23 and grabbed 15 offensive rebounds...
...principle of free speech in general. As law professor Alan M. Dershowitz argued, Matory “is misusing freedom of speech and academic freedom to make an ideological argument.” Matory disingenuously couched his unpopular claim within a meaningless statement in favor of an ideal that virtually all faculty members would support. This is not the way that dialogue on this, or any other issue, should proceed at Harvard. Instead of dressing his argument up in the guise of free speech, Matory and others who agree with him would best be served by making their arguments directly...
