  20-10-2018 23:43
  Real Salt Lake did itself a huge favor with its dismantling the New England Revolution on Thursday. Without a victory, the team might as well have kissed its playoff hopes goodbye.But now, with only one game left — Sunday against the Timbers in Portland — all RSL needs to do is win one more game. One more game and it can punch its ticket to the playoffs. Who they would face will remain a mystery until next Sunday, when every other team in Major League Soccer plays their final game of

• Snow Canyon scores in overtime to win first girls soccer state title since 2012

  20-10-2018 23:30
  Sandy • Saves. Clearances. Tackles. Missed opportunities. That’s most of what the Orem and Snow Canyon high school girls' soccer teams gave each other for much of the Class 4A state championship game on Saturday at Rio Tinto Stadium.That is, until about midway through the first 10-minute overtime. The Warriors broke into a counterattack with Rachel Durante dribbling up the right side of the field.The entire Orem defense shifted to that side, along with its keeper. Durante saw the cove

  The “Twitter Twit,” that malignant growth festering in the White House, the one who spews lies, insults and hate like a firehose spews water, has once again shown how petty, vindictive and childish he is by canceling the pay raises due to federal workers just because the courts interfered with his attempt to weaken their collective bargaining rights.His lame excuse is that it would add too much to the national debt.

  Provo • The numbers are not all that impressive through seven football games for the BYU Cougars, who had a bye this weekend after playing the 43rd most difficult schedule in the country the first half of the season.But the only number coach Kalani Sitake cares about in this hoped-for season of rebounding from last year’s miserable campaign is four.

• The Jazz are lighting it up on offense and struggling on defense. What on earth is going on?

  20-10-2018 21:09
  Pretty much everyone knew what the Jazz’s modus operandi would be this year because … well, because it’s pretty much what they do every year:Smother and suffocate teams defensively, and slow the pace and grind it out offensively to score just enough.So then, a mere two games into the 2018-19 campaign, it seems safe to say we’re all wondering the same thing now: Exactly what the hell is going on?Yes, it’s an admittedly small sample size, but so far Utah is averaging

During the Cold War, the United States made common cause with too many dictators to count. A partial list includes: Fulgencio Batista, Anastasio Somoza, Ferdinand Marcos, Mobutu Sese Seko, Augusto Pinochet, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (the former shah of Iran), Mohammed Zia ul-Haq, Syngman Rhee and Suharto.But the United States has also b
