The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the most prominent church in Utah. Consequently, some individuals feel that the church's views strongly sway many of the laws and ordinances within each city. One of the most significant stances that the LDS Church has taken is for pro-marriage between a man and a woman.That may be why a lot of people will be shocked to know that the church sent a representative to a Salt Lake City council meeting on Tuesday, November 10th to help defend and support the gay activist group that was attempting to have two nondiscrimination ordinances passed, which would allow gays and lesbians certain rights and protections that they did not previously possess. The church made a statement in November of 2008 which said that they were not anti-gay, but rather they were pro-marriage between a man and a woman. They also went further to say that they were not opposed to equal rights for gays and lesbians in regards to hospital rights, employment rights, housing rights, and probate rights.Even with the church's statement last fall, the bills that were proposed to the Utah state legislature did not make it out of committee for a vote.

Author: Mark BoardmanLake effect snow can cause large local variations in snow depth with 50 cm of snow accumulate over the course of a few days near the shore and a few miles inland from the lake shore there may be no snowfall at all. Lake effect snow does occur in regions away from the great lakes (for example along Lake Baikal in Russia) but it is far more pronounced and and destructive to ground and air transportation around the great lakes.Lake effect snow occurs when a mass of freezing air moves down from the Arctic over a body of warmer water, creating instability in the atmosphere above the lakes. As a consequence, clouds build and develop over the lakes and, as they move downwind, develop into snow showers and squalls.The water temperature of the Great Lakes lags behind the atmosphere in cooling through early winter, as water holds its heat far more readily than land. The heating from below results in instability in the air during cold outbreaks. This instability mixes warm, moist air near the surface of the lakes into the lowest 1 to 1.5 km of atmosphere. Rising air rapidly reaches saturation, and the result is shallow cumuliform clouds, frequently aligned in bands...more
