But this and other prominent recent killings all have in common the use of assault weapons. In Sonora, AR-15 rifles left behind hundreds of s

  Donovan Mitchell has been a top-10 player in the NBA this season.He’s still not particularly satisfied.Okay, some of that is frustration due to what happened at the end of some close games. Memphis was the latest example, where he was raked across the arm in the game’s final two seconds without it being noticed by the referees. A foul called there would have changed things, just as it would have in Sacramento in the Jazz’s one-point loss, and as it would have at home against Mi

The rains came down, the streams rose, the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.Utah has a great expanse of sand and mud surrounding the Great Salt Lake, and the temptation to build upon those unstable foundations has become nearly irresistible in recent years.
