...full democracy is already long past, and that any attempt to delay it is demeaning. Earlier this month, a group of democrats led by Chan unveiled a compromise proposal that would gradually implement universal suffrage. It's hardly a radical blueprint, and it dovetails with Tsang's own target of achieving full democracy by 2012, when his new five-year term will end. The response out of Beijing to Chan's plan, however, was anything but welcoming. Chen Zuo'er, the deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, was at pains to stress that it was Beijing...
...very odd book, a rattlebag of art, mathematics, music, philosophy, symbolic logic, computers, genetics, paradoxes, palindromes and Zen koans among many, many other things. Most of it went way over my head--my precocious older sister, who later became a mathematician, and even later a sculptor, was the real target audience--but it was playfully written and deeply weird and off-the-charts smart and generally just the thing for a household of pretentious, alienated adolescents to chew on.

...long the embryo must be exposed to these high glucose levels to be affected, according to Florence M. Brown, who is the co-director of the joint Joslin and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Diabetes and Pregnancy Program. “It is unclear how long the target tissues must be exposed to high glucose levels for birth defects to occur, or if transient spiking of blood glucose is enough,” wrote Brown in an e-mailed statement. Brown added that because the experiment was conducted on mice, the relationship between Glut2 and human birth defects is also...
