Utah Paper Won't Print Same-Sex Wedding Announcement
Tyler Barrick and Spencer Jones were legally married in San Francisco on June 17, 2008.

Bad Times Keep Us Put: Migration to South and West Slows
The intuitive trend in America to move to where the land is open and the climate warm has hit a road bump. Thanks to the housing crisis, which makes the idea of taking on a new mortgage scary and risky, people are staying put.
