• Nila Bala: Utah should change how it punishes technical parole or probation violations

  In recent years, Utah has passed legislation to reduce the prison population while preserving public safety and saving taxpayer dollars. While its efforts are praiseworthy, these changes have exposed another problem-prone area: community supervision.Fortunately, Gov. Gary Herbert has announced a task force charged with looking into probation and parole — the two primary community-based alternatives to incarceration.Far more people are on probation and parole than are involved in any other

Despite the fact that he fell short of capturing Rookie of the Year honors (that honor went to second-year man Ben Simmons #PhillyTroll), there’s no doubting Donovan Mitchell had a first year for the ages.

  The backlog of untested rape kits is growing in Utah even after state lawmakers passed a law in 2017 to address the issue, in part because of a lack of funding to hire an adequate number of technicians.The state crime lab asked for $2.4 million for 17 technicians but received $1.2 million to hire nine technicians, said Amy Lightfoot, the deputy director of the crime lab, KUTV-TV in Salt Lake City reports.“Unfortunately, what you're looking at there is the result of a partially funded manda

  Too much of the NBA season doesn’t feel like it matters.For good teams, the NBA regular season is just an appetizer for the main course of the playoffs. Of course, the season matters for playoff positioning. But while they all count the same in the standings, as they say, only by March and April is the finish line close enough that the horse race feels real urgency.For average and bad teams, only the early part of the regular season feels important. Then, hope is still high for an aspirati

  Much as it pained the Utah Jazz to move on from longtime staple Derrick Favors this past summer, there were good reasons for it.Like their 2019 first-round playoff elimination at the hands of the Houston Rockets. And their 2018 second-round playoff elimination by the Rockets. Not to mention their 2017 postseason ouster via the Golden State Warriors.No, those defeats weren’t the sole responsibility of Favors. Rather, he was a microcosm of a larger problem. Namely, season after season, the J

  The historic Kearns Building in downtown Salt Lake City holds a special place for its owner — in more ways than one.Hines, the global real estate firm, bought the 10-story building at 136 S. Main St. in 1988. Constructed in 1911, the steel-reinforced concrete structure with a white terra cotta facade was among the first ever purchased by the Houston-based company.Three decades later, Hines is one of the world’s largest privately held real estate powerhouses, overseeing a global portf

  I was mystified by Sen. Mike Lee’s description of President Trump as a “gift,” and by the daft post-hearing comments of Sens. Lindsey Graham and John Kennedy. All three are smart, well-educated men. What could cause them to say such absurd things? Then a clarifying analogy presented itself.I recently read a scientific article about a fungus (genus Ophiocordyceps) that infects certain ants.

  This has been a golden age for brain research. We now have amazing brain scans that show which networks in the brain ramp up during different activities. But this emphasis on the brain has subtly fed the illusion that thinking happens only from the neck up. It’s fed the illusion that the advanced parts of our thinking are the “rational” parts up top that try to control the more “primitive” parts down below.So it’s interesting how many scientists are now focusi
