    This is pretty cool.

    Mormon leader Thomas S. Monson attends ceremony naming historic Utah building in his honor

    The U. now owns the old LDS Business College building on South Temple and it will be called the Thomas S. Monson Center:

    http://www.sltrib.com/lifestyle/fait...monson-attends

    For nearly half a century, the historic Wall Mansion, at 411 E. South Temple in Salt Lake City, was home to LDS Business College. The overhauled building now becomes the Thomas S. Monson Center, the U.'s "embassy to the community" and home to the school's Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute.
    That's fitting, President Henry B. Eyring, Monson's first counselor in the LDS Church's governing First Presidency, said in a short speech. "Just as President Monson has reached out to people from every background and walk of life, this center will draw individuals and organizations from the local and global community to engage their minds and hearts in creating ideas and programs that change lives, communities and nations for the better."

    It is pretty amazing. I guess they based the interior on how modern startups in SF are architecting their interiors, with lots of mobility of desks/computers/whiteboards and common creative spaces.

    A New Way to Nip AIDS in the Bud

    When new AIDS virus particles bud from an infected cell, an enzyme named protease activates to help the viruses mature and infect more cells. That’s why modern AIDS drugs control the disease by inhibiting protease.

    Now, University of Utah researchers found a way to turn protease into a double-edged sword: They showed that if they delay the budding of new HIV particles, protease itself will destroy the virus instead of helping it spread. They say that might lead, in about a decade, to new kinds of AIDS drugs with fewer side effects. ...

    Several other nice shots of him wearing the Block U. The only thing better than a picture of the Dalai Lama in Ute gear is 2 pictures of the Dalai Lama in Ute gear.
