To the gang at iFrogz, chillin' to the alternative-indie rhythms of the Barenaked Ladies is one thing; doing it on a naked iPod is another. That is why Scott Huskinson and Clay Broadbent launched their tiny company in a Cache Valley industrial park last March.
PAROLE DATE SET -- The 27-year-old man found guilty of murdering an Orem man more than 10 years ago will be released from prison in six years. Beau Heaps, who police say instigated the murder of 38-year-old John Freitag on Aug. 25, 1996, will be released from the Utah State Prison on Aug.
