I would prefer to be in a Tropical Paradise, in FL. So it's true, Utah Office of Tourism unveiled its $1.1 million campaign, humorous "snowflakes" touting the virtues of "the greatest snow on earth advertising it's winter in Utah and the campaign of heavy snowfall on powdery slopes, includes three new 30-second commercials that will rotate on 13 national cable networks beginning in January.

Or that the the Controlled Substances Advisory Committee, a legislative panel made up of health professionals, law enforcement and others plans to review Ivory Wave, one of the latest designer substances to be sold in smoke shops in the area.

Or even suspensions on driver's licenses for teens who have been arrested while drinking and driving may get more lenient. Or perhaps a foursome rewarded for helping solve Tooele County cattle shooting crime, or the illegal's that flock there.
