Virginity sale is a reflection of lost values

By By Liz Carlston January 26, 2009

By By Ross Solomon January 23, 2009

These budget cuts must be better balanced, instead of laying a huge weight on social services. If this does not happen, the results will be ugly. It is likely that more government funding will be spent in the long run and the social consequences will affect all of us.

Sacrificing health in the name of budget or time is never worth the price.

Our local enonomy not all doom, gloom

By By Liz Carlston January 22, 2009

Although Utah's economy isn't bulletproof and certainly won't see an immediate end to the recession, we are predicted to do a lot better than the rest of the country. During these times, it's important to remember to explore non-traditional, yet honest methods to create value and mutual benefits in business activities.
