| Guns at the U.: Utah Supreme Court upholds wrongheaded policy
The Utah Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Legislature in its tug-of-war with the University of Utah over the U.'s no-firearms policy. As a matter of law, the court's opinion must be respected. As a matter of public policy, however, the Legislature's insistence on overturning the U.'s no-guns rule is wrongheaded.
The court held 4-1 that the state constitution does not grant the University of Utah authority to enact a firearms policy that goes against state law. The U. had argued that a provision of the state constitution that has preserved a measure of corporate autonomy for the university since before statehood allows it to make internal policy independently.
The court decided, however, that the U.'s constitutional autonomy as a public corporation does not exempt it ³from the obligation of all Utah citizens and entities to follow Utah law.²
That makes perfect sense.
Floating sex workers and HIV/AIDS in Bangladesh
HIV/AIDS is not only a disease but also an economic burden of a nation. AIDS is a name which refers to death. Immature human behaviour and immoral relations to each other are the main causes of spreading of HIV/AIDS all over the world. Only men/ women who are carrying HIV/AIDS are playing the dangerous role of agents to scatter it. Being a third world poor country, Bangladesh is very much vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. Her geographical location in a vulnerable region may contribute to the country in having HIV/AIDS as an epidemic. Bangladesh has a large border of about four thousands kilometres with India. And the number of HIV/AIDS patients in India is not less. Many people of Bangladesh are travelling to India for different purpose. Many of these people may have already become carriers of HIV/AIDS.
Less labor on Labor Day
First you have to get dressed and get to the office and get coffee and get those pencils sharpened and get through the e-mail and the voicemail and the mail mail and at some point-definitely before lunch-you have to actually do whatever it is you are supposed to do. You know, work. It has its compensation. Sometimes, right in the thick of a particularly productive five minutes you might find yourself absorbed in work. You might enjoy these quiet moments, free from background brainbuzz, like Amazon, eBay and Epicurious. You may experience mental clarity. This is soon remedied by the break. You admire Roz Chast's catalog of labor-saving devices: Sandwich. Nap. Novel. Though those are simply the basics. Casting for your own labor-saving devices you glance around your workspace.
