Blog: Have you ever forgotten where you parked your car?

October 17, 2012 12:00 AM
Finding your car in a parking lot can be a difficult task.Picture this: you leave the mall, walk outside in the direction you thought you parked your car and then realize you are completely disoriented and can't remember where you parked. You wander around aimlessly for a moment or two before either setting off the alarm to find it, or searching up and down the aisles to find a car with your same color and model. Who hasn't done that? Now, imagine you don't find your car. No, better yet — you won't find your car foranother two years!

Blog: Coffee consumption may cause blindness

October 08, 2012 12:00 AM
In the past month, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints caused commotion by clarifying a statement made in The Word of Wisdom related to caffeine, and said its usage was not prohibited by the church. Although within Mormon culture it has often been considered against The Word of Wisdom to drink Coke, Pepsi or other caffeinated beverages, the statement led members to assume that it was actually acceptable.

Blog: the day every girl dreams of

October 08, 2012 12:00 AM
Weddings. The one thing every little girl spends her whole life planning for and dreaming of. But when that special time actually comes, it can prove to be much more difficult to make decisions, get plans set, and make everybody happy. Most people wait until they've graduated from college, settled into their careers and are relatively financially stable before deciding to get married. But, because of a younger marriage-seeking demographic in Utah, there is a high number of wedding resources that have popped up everywhere- especially in Utah Valley. There are so many options that making decisions can seem overwhelming. But, if you stick with the topwedding planning guides, I can assure you, you'll be just fine.

Blog: IP's gray area on the Web

March 13, 2012 12:00 AM
As students, we are used to being reminded multiple times each semester not to steal content written or produced by others and present it as our own. Plagiarism can be done accidentally (when the student in question doesn't cite their source correctly) or on purpose (when the student uses material they didn't create and intentionally presents it as their own).

Political Blog: Satire Has Its Say in Politics

February 24, 2012 12:00 AM
Virginia lawmakers dropped a bill they were trying to pass because of criticism from two surprising places: The Daily Show and Saturday Night Live. The lawmakers were pushing a bill that would have mandated that women considering an abortion would have to have an ultrasound before the procedure. The bill was dropped, and has since been rewritten to change the procedure to one less invasive. But many people are shocked that the leading antagonists for such a bill were the satirical late night TV shows.
