Huffington Post: Is China Really Engineering Baby Geniuses? The Myth Of The Superbaby Debunked

Posted: 25 Mar 2013 10:05 AM PDT

Written by Will Oremus for Slate

Sexual reproduction is a genetic crapshoot. Out of hundreds of eggs and millions of sperm, one joins one to produce a baby whose natural endowments could reflect the best traits of both parents -- or the absolute worst. To procreate through intercourse is to take a wild roll of the DNA dice. And the stakes could hardly be higher. One stray allele could mean the difference between a healthy baby and one with a debilitating disorder.

What if science offered a way to stack the odds in favor of a healthy, gifted child? The idea is as thrilling as it is alarming. But how realistic is it? Last week, a widely shared story in the magazine Vice suggested it's imminent and inevitable -- just not in the hidebound United States.

Huffington Post: Bankers Still Get Paid Far More Than Most Workers, But Pay Gap Is Narrowing: Report

Posted: 25 Mar 2013 10:10 AM PDT

Being a banker just isn't quite as good as it used to be.

The gap between what bank employees make and what other private-sector workers earn is getting smaller, according to new research by the consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) for the Financial Times. According to the research, bankers were paid 5.8 times more than the private-sector average last year, down from 9.5 times the private-sector average in 2006. PwC analyzed pay at nine U.S. and European investment banks.

Meanwhile, banks are eliminating thousands of jobs in the face of the weak economy. Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase recently announced that they plan to cut thousands of jobs, and Goldman Sachs has 3,300 fewer employees than it did two years ago, according to Reuters.
