...understandable that some heterosexual servicepeople may feel uncomfortable serving with homosexuals, discomfort cannot be a basis for discrimination. Other servicepeople may feel uneasy about working with soldiers of a different race or religion, which could impact their ability to fight. Yet servicepeople are protected by both federal law and military regulations from discrimination based upon these differences. This confusing double standard about characteristics that do not impact an individual's ability to serve is one of the most obvious defects in the "don't ask, don't tell" policy...
...this compelling tale of 1950's class envy and blossoming psychosis. The outlines of the story are the same in both versions: Tom Ripley (Matt Damon), a poor, smart chameleon, comes to Italy under false pretenses and insinuates himself into the wealthy life of prodigal Dickie "Ouch!" Greenleaf (Jude Law). Dickie's not always as naughty as the name suggests, but sometimes he's far worse. Jude Law is the consummate self-involved prick; he's best when playing dissipated rich boys like the wheelchair-bound himbo in Gattaca, men who would loathe themselves if they would take the time...
Opposition to the continuation of the program seems based in the fear that it will be perceived as discriminatory against men, leaving Harvard open to lawsuits for violation of Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments.

Considering they could spend as many as five years in prison for their deception, Aziz-Golshani and Melamed will probably think twice before trying this money-making scheme again. But, as SEC officials and law enforcement agencies know, there are plenty of other opportunists who'd be happy to take their place. In these heady days of prosperity and a ballooning stock market, measured, critical financial reasoning strikes some people as cynical and potentially disastrous. (He who hesitates is lost - and loses out on that IPO.) That pervasive air of recklessness, combined with the infinite information available to investors, renders...
Everything is easier on the Internet, including the once-arduous sport of stock market speculation. Unfortunately for two cyber-hucksters who made a quick $370,000 by circulating false rumors of a corporate takeover, technology has also made it easier for law enforcement officials to catch criminals. Wednesday, federal prosecutors charged Arash Aziz-Golshani and Hootan Melamed, both 23, with conspiracy to commit securities fraud, and the two face civil charges from the SEC as well. It was a stunningly simple plan: One Monday morning, investor chat rooms were abuzz with a tip that NEI, a down-and-out commercial...
