In this 2023 episode, Penny takes an online training course in social media marketing, hoping to build her hobby into a business. After this initial small investment, she is flooded with calls from companies selling different website services. They promise big returns, but her investment of more than $30,000 with multiple companies doesn't lead to a single sale. Penny reports the scam, but it's not until she gets a call from a news producer that she learns that the person behind the scheme is none other than The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah.

We start with Three Things: the Lindsay Clancy murder trial jury is now on its sixth day of deliberations after telling the judge twice they're deadlocked — the defense is even seeking the removal of one juror, and mistrial chances are growing — plus France just recorded its hottest summer since measurements began. We break down your Labor Day travel, including UDOT tips on when to hit the road and when to stay put, and the TSA expects over 17 million passengers through checkpoints this weekend. Salt Lake City International Airport just launched "Gateside by TSA PreCheck," a new program that lets approved non-travelers go past security to meet people at the gate — and it could completely change how LDS missionary homecomings work. Plans are being discussed in Salt Lake City to build a concert venue in the Fairpark neighborhood right next door to the proposed MLB stadium, and the Miller family reportedly wants the ballpark to be a "national park". In News for the 1%, we dig into where there's a "mansion shortage." We talk travel tips, including the number-one mistake American tourists make abroad according to a former FBI agent, what actually happens if you don't put your phone in airplane mode, and U.S. destinations that feel international without needing a passport. And we wrap up with the AI Question of the Day.

What makes a retreat unforgettable?   It is rarely just the itinerary.   It is the feeling.  The energy in the room.   The moments guests did not expect.   In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail sits down with Austin-based singer, songwriter, and musician Christine Baird to talk about the role of live music, art, and real human connection in creating transformational retreat experiences.   Christine has performed at multiple retreats hosted by Shannon, and together they explore why live music brings something to a retreat that a playlist, a screen, or even AI-generated music simply cannot replicate.   They discuss how music and art can shift the energy of a room, help guests become more present, create emotional anchors, and turn a good retreat into something people remember long after they leave.   The conversation also dives into why live, in-person experiences are becoming even more valuable in a fast-moving AI world. As technology gets better at creating content, music, images, and experiences digitally, the value of real human energymay actually increase.   If you are a retreat leader looking for creative retreat activities, ways to improve your guest experience, or ideas that help your retreat stand out, this episode will make you think differently about what belongs on your itinerary.   In This Episode You'll Learn Why live music can elevate a retreat experience How art and creativity support deeper connection Why guests remember feelings more than schedules How music can help people become more present The difference between recorded or AI-generated music and a live human performance Why in-person experiences are becoming more valuable in the AI era How retreat leaders can use music and art to create emotional anchors Why creative retreat activities can improve guest satisfaction, referrals, and repeat attendance Key Takeaways Retreats Are Felt, Not Just Attended Your guests may forget the exact order of the workshops. They will remember how the experience made them feel. Live Music Changes the Room There is something different about having a real person creating music in real time. Guests feel the energy, imperfection, emotion, and connection. AI Can Create Music. It Cannot Recreate Human Presence. Technology can create incredibly impressive music. What it cannot reproduce is the shared experience of being in a room with another human being creating something live. Art Creates Emotional Anchors A song, painting, creative workshop, or shared artistic experience can become one of the strongest memories someone takes home from a retreat. Retreat Leaders Should Think Beyond Content You do not need another workshop just because there is an empty hour on the schedule. Sometimes the better choice is music, art, nature, conversation, or simply space to experience the moment. About Christine Baird Christine Baird is a singer, songwriter, and musician whose career has taken her from musical theatre to the Montreux Jazz Festival, from wedding singing in New York City to pursuing her solo career in Austin, Texas.

Live Music vs. AI (00:03:35) The conversation explores how live music offers an emotional, human experience that AI-generated music simply cannot replicate. The Effort and Authenticity of Singing (00:04:36) Christine explains that singing is a physical, emotional effort, an instrument from within the body, unlike AI's effortless polish. The Human Brain is Rejecting AI (00:07:43) Shannon and Christine discuss how people are subconsciously starting to recognize and dismiss content created by artificial intelligence. Christine's Musical Journey (00:09:20) Christine shares her background, from musical theater in New York to finding her authentic voice and moving to Austin. The Power of Music at Retreats (00:13:30) Christine discusses how live music's frequency can literally change the biology and energy of a room and its attendees.

Christine's Long-Term Dreams (00:19:36) Christine shares her vision of connecting with large audiences, aiming to create uplifting experiences rather than just seeking fame. Dealing with Haters and Criticism (00:22:20) The discussion turns to handling online negativity and how life experience builds the strength to stay authentic despite criticism. The Unnatural Nature of Online Comments (00:26:49) Christine shares the perspective that comment sections are unnatural because humans were not designed to hear everyone's unfiltered thoughts. Favorite Music and Original Songs (00:29:48) Christine talks about her love for 70s and 80s music and her process of incorporating her original songs into sets. The Importance of Presence in Performance (00:33:12) Christine explains that staying present and authentic during a performance is key to creating a genuine emotional connection with the audience.

Today Kyler chats with Amanda Warren, co-founder of Bookish, about building a grassroots literary community in Salt Lake City. After returning to Utah from New York City, Amanda teamed up with her sister Whitney to launch Bookish, an initiative designed to host reading parties, cultivate connection, and promote local storytelling. She shares the story behind their popular community events, the upcoming adult summer reading pizza party at Memory Grove, and how centering gatherings around books removes the awkwardness of typical small talk.

Send us Fan MailRHUGT NeNe's Back—and Vicki Is SmittenRHUGT S5 E4 Meet Me at the Alter….Ego PartyThe Housewives have officially landed in Atlanta, and considering they were just in Orange County and Beverly Hills, the amount of traveling they've done in two days is borderline exhausting. The day starts with a drag brunch at Lips before everyone rushes off for the Alter Ego Party. Luann is fully embracing her Countess persona, while Vicki reveals that her alter ego is Jackie O and recounts the infamous van ride home from the White Party, where she apparently wanted everyone to participate in the “quiet game.” Meanwhile, Lisa and Teresa are thrilled by how much fun they've been having together, with Teresa calling their friendship a “breath of fresh air.” Then comes the big surprise: NeNe Leakes arrives at the drag brunch, and the energy immediately changes. The ladies reminisce about classic Atlanta moments, from “Who gon' check me, boo?” to “Close your legs to married men,” before the drag queens take the stage and impersonate the Housewives.NeNe's return is easily the emotional highlight of the episode. Everyone is thrilled to see her, especially Luann, who gets visibly emotional about their friendship. NeNe admits she was nervous about coming back and talks about how strange it felt to leave Housewives behind, initially feeling relieved before eventually realizing that she missed being part of it. The conversation takes a more serious turn as NeNe opens up about Gregg's death and the memories they shared with Kyle and Mauricio, leading to some genuinely touching moments. NeNe also reveals that she has been dating Nyoni on and off for four years, although she has no desire to get married again. She wants to be treated like a wife without necessarily becoming one, and once Nyoni arrives, Vicki is suddenly VERY interested. The ladies then head off to get ready for the Alter Ego Party, with costumes ranging from Teresa as the Queen of Jersey and Gizelle as Diana Ross to Vicki's Jackie O and Porsha's Stepford Wife/Lucy-inspired look.The party brings plenty of unfinished business, particularly when Kyle confronts Ashley about her history with Mauricio. Kyle makes it clear that, regardless of the circumstances, she believes there are certain boundaries you don't cross within the Housewives sisterhood, especially while she and Mauricio are still technically married. Ashley offers her side of the story and even manages to throw Stacy under the bus in the process, but ultimately Kyle and Ashley seem to move forward. Meanwhile, the Salt Lake City contingent brings its own drama, with Gizelle filling Heather and Angie K in on her issues with Whitney and Bronwyn, while Heather remains suspicious of Lisa. Heather eventually approaches Lisa to clear the air, but based on the conversation, it seems Heather may have made the entire situation much bigger than it actually was. With NeNe back, Candiace in the building, old grudges resurfacing, and Vicki suddenly captivated by Nyoni, Atlanta proves to be the perfect setting for this group to create even more chaos. keywordsReal Housewives, reality TV, show analysis, drama, comedy, social dynamics, behind-the-scenesSupport the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

Rosie previews the offseasons ahead for the exiting quarterfinal teams, taking a look at the top  free agents for California and Maryland while giving Rob Pannell his flowers after an emotional final game of the season (and possibly career).From the natural narratives of Brennan O'Neill playing against the Utah defense to the built-up animosity of past matchups between Boston and Philly, the final four aren't just peaking at the right time, but also have the most intrigue. Whether it's the boos raining down from the Salt Lake City crowd for every O'Neill touch or the beef between the Cannons and Waterdogs, the intensity will be incredible.

The Los Angeles Lakers have just been sold for $12.5 billion, the highest price ever paid for any sports franchise in history. This blockbuster deal has sent shockwaves through the worlds of finance, technology, and sports culture alike. What does it mean when the most iconic basketball team on the planet changes hands under these circumstances? To understand the full picture, we need to look at who is buying, why they are buying, and what happens to a legendary franchise when its new owners are not fans of the game. Mark Walter had purchased the Los Angeles Lakers roughly a year ago at a $10 billion valuation, which was itself a record at the time. Josh Kushner, who runs Thrive Capital, one of OpenAI’s largest shareholders, called Walter out of the blue and made an offer. Within 72 hours, a deal was struck. The team was never officially on the market. Walter, facing regulatory scrutiny from both the US attorney in Manhattan and the SEC over billions in loans tied to his conglomerate, needed liquidity fast. The sale was as much about financial pressure as it was about opportunity. This is just some of the topics that Pirates Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon and Bri Clark discuss on this episode of The Pirate Street Journal. Each week, the Category Pirates pick three headlines worth paying attention to and break down the category underneath. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   The Financial Risks Behind the Los Angeles Lakers Deal Kushner is placing the Los Angeles Lakers inside a vehicle called Thrive Eternal, a fund designed specifically for assets he believes are immune to technological disruption. This is a fascinating strategic bet. The Lakers sit alongside a portfolio stuffed with AI winners, and buyers of sports franchises can write off the entire purchase price over 15 years, generating roughly $830 million per year in paper losses. That tax advantage alone makes the acquisition a compelling financial instrument, not just a trophy asset. However, the financial engineering behind this deal raises serious concerns. The NBA limits how much institutional investors can contribute and caps team debt at $475 million. This is the inverse of the traditional private equity playbook, where firms minimize their own capital and maximize leverage. Kushner and his partners do not have $12.5 billion sitting in cash. They are taking on enormous concentrated risk, and the question of who their exit liquidity will eventually be points uncomfortably toward retail investors when their AI holdings eventually go public.   What Happens When Non-Fans Own Iconic Teams The Bus family owned the Los Angeles Lakers since 1979. That is nearly five decades of stewardship rooted in a genuine connection to the team and the city. When passionate fans own teams, good things tend to happen. Mark Cuban sat courtside and screamed at referees because he cared. Ryan Smith bought the Utah Jazz and poured money into player facilities, hired legends like Danny Ainge, and helped transform Salt Lake City into a genuine entertainment destination. These are owners who think about championships and community, not just cashflow. When financial engineers own teams, the calculus changes entirely. Ticket prices rise. Star players get traded to cut costs. Stadium deals extract money from cities and municipalities that can barely afford it. The priority stack becomes clear: owners first, players second, cities third, and fans last. The Los Angeles Lakers are now a hedge against technological disruption inside a portfolio built by people whose primary expertise is in venture capital and artificial intelligence, not basketball. Whether that leads to winning or just profitable mediocrity remains to be seen.   The Broader Warning Signs for the Sports Economy The Los Angeles Lakers sale does not exist in a vacuum. Across the NBA, a pattern is emerging that looks uncomfortably familiar. Team valuations have skyrocketed from hundreds of millions to tens of billions in a remarkably short period of time. Owners who bought at peak valuations are already showing signs of financial strain. Matt Ishbia bought the Phoenix Suns for around $4 billion by pledging his mortgage company as collateral and betting that interest rates would fall. They did not. He may now be facing pressure to sell stakes in the team. The S&P500 is up nearly 75 percent over the past three years, making wealthy investors feel flush and willing to take on risks they would normally avoid. But market runs do not last forever, and when the tide goes out, we find out who has been swimming without protection. The concentration of risk among sports franchise owners, combined with NBA rules that prevent traditional leverage strategies, creates a fragile ecosystem. The Los Angeles Lakers may be the most visible example of a much larger systemic stress building quietly beneath the surface of professional sports.

Why did the U.S. Army build a fort above Salt Lake City with its guns pointed toward the Mormon capital? Lindsay Hansen Park and Bryan Buchanan trace the explosive history of Fort Douglas, from the Utah War and Brigham Young's theocracy to Patrick Connor's campaign to contain Mormon power, encourage mining, and remake the territory. …

For decades, employees and visitors at Salt Lake City's Rio Grande Depot told stories about the Purple Lady—a young woman supposedly killed by a train after a disastrous reunion with her returning fiancé. People claimed to see her reflection in the women's restroom, hear her singing after hours, and feel her presence moving through the building's basement corridors. But when Utah historians finally dug into the story, they found something unexpected: there was no dead woman, no train accident, no newspaper coverage, and no Purple Lady before the state moved into the building in the 1980s. Tonight, we explore one of Utah's most famous hauntings, the century-old building noises that may explain some of its ghostly reputation, and the remarkable possibility that an entirely invented ghost story became real enough for people to start experiencing it.

Game week is here for No. 14 BYU, and KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper delivers a jam-packed episode to get Cougar Nation fully locked in ahead of Saturday's season opener against Utah Tech at LaVell Edwards Stadium (6 p.m. MT, ESPN+ and KSL NewsRadio). Mitch opens the show with the biggest off-the-field headline of the week: the BYU athletic department has been restructured, with AD Brian Santiago no longer overseeing football operations directly. The move comes after weeks of public tension between Santiago and head coach Kalani Sitake, who turned down Penn State last winter and has been vocal about BYU needing to invest more resources into the football program. Sitake addressed the restructuring during his Monday press conference, sharing his thoughts on the changes and what they mean for the program moving forward. Mitch breaks down Sitake's comments and wonders: Will this be a distraction for BYU football in 2026? As it was last year leading up to the Big 12 Championship Game? Mitch Harper sits down with a familiar voice in the Utah sports broadcasting world — Rod Zundel, the "Voice of the Trailblazers" and Director of Broadcasting and Multimedia Content for Utah Tech Athletics — for a special game-week conversation previewing Saturday's BYU-Utah Tech season opener at LaVell Edwards Stadium. Before becoming the play-by-play voice calling Utah Tech football, men's basketball, and baseball on FM 99.5 in St. George, Zundel spent nearly 24 years at KSL-TV in Salt Lake City as a sports anchor and reporter. He hosted SportsBeat Saturday and Sunday, KSL 5 Golf Utah, and KSL 5 Outdoor Adventures. He's been calling Trailblazer games since 2022, when Utah Tech made its transition to Division I and the WAC, and now enters his first year covering the program in the Big Sky Conference. In the interview, Zundel gives Cougar Nation the insider view from St. George. He shares what Utah Tech looked like in its Week 0 season opener — a 54-0 loss to No. 1 Montana State at Greater Zion Stadium — and what third-year head coach Lance Anderson's team is working on as it prepares to travel to Provo for its first game against an FBS opponent this season. Zundel discusses the Utah Tech quarterback situation, and the players and schemes BYU fans should keep an eye on Saturday. He also touches on the state of Utah Tech athletics as the Trailblazers embark on their first season in the Big Sky, what the program's long-term trajectory looks like, and the unique challenge of preparing an FCS squad to walk into a packed LaVell Edwards Stadium and face the No. 14 team in the country. To close out the show, Mitch dives deep into BYU's first official depth chart of the 2026 season. Among the notable takeaways: true freshman wide receiver Legend Glasker is listed as a starter — the first true freshman to open as a starting wideout under Sitake. Cal transfer linebacker Cade Uluave has earned a starting nod at linebacker despite not yet playing a snap in a BYU uniform, and Oregon transfer Kyler Kasper slots in at another receiving spot. Bear Bachmeier returns as the unquestioned QB1 with Treyson Bourguet behind him. On defense, Kelly Poppinga's first depth chart as defensive coordinator features Faletau Satuala back at safety after recovering from his fractured foot, alongside Evan Johnson at corner and Keanu Tanuvasa anchoring the defensive line. Mitch goes position by position, highlighting the starters, the competition, and the names to watch Saturday night.

In this new series on Mormon Stories Podcast, we're joined once again by historian Dr. John Turner to take an in-depth look at one of the most important –and complicated –figures in Mormon history: Brigham Young. Dr. Turner is the author of Brigham Young: Pioneer Prophet, his acclaimed 2012 biography of the second president and prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. John was recently our guest for an extensive series on his newer biography, _Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet_. In this episode, we begin at the beginning: Who was Brigham Young before he became the leader of the Mormon movement?John takes us through Brigham's early life, his difficult relationship with his father, his exploration of different religious traditions, his attraction to spiritual gifts and “ecstatic worship,” and his eventual conversion to Mormonism. We explore the religious environment that shaped Brigham Young and the broader culture of early Mormonism, including speaking in tongues, visions, healings, prophecy, and other spiritual manifestations. We also examine Brigham's relationship with his first wife, Miriam, his friendship with Heber C. Kimball, his early missionary experiences, and his first encounters with Joseph Smith. Along the way, we consider what made Brigham such a committed follower of Joseph Smith –and why Joseph recognized Brigham's loyalty even though their relationship was very different from Joseph's relationships with some of his other close associates. This episode offers a fascinating look at the making of Brigham Young before his transformation into the Mormon leader who would eventually guide thousands of Latter-day Saints across the American West.Some of the topics that we discuss in this first episode is Brigham's childhood, the harsh treatment on the part of his father, Brigham's Methodism and "ecstatic worship” along with his desire to find a church that had the gift of tongues, visions, healings, etc. We discuss the death of Brigham's first wife Miriam and how he handled his children afterward. We discuss his friendship with Heber C. Kimball and his missionary efforts as an elder in the church. We also discuss Brigham's friendship with Joseph Smith, his defense of Joseph, how he handled failed prophecies, and much more. If you wish to donate to support this series, please visit here: https://donorbox.org/brighamyoung___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

Deadly flash floods sweep through the Grand Canyon, leaving at least two dead and more than a dozen missing as rescuers brace for more dangerous weather. Meanwhile, monsoon season is hammering Utah — flash flood warnings hit Orangeville, Carbon County, national parks, and Lynndyl. We break it all down in today's Three Things, plus: a 75,000-person music festival could be coming to The Point in Draper, and tonight marks the last Salt Lake City sunset after 8 p.m. this year.   We discuss why many parents struggle to talk to their kids about money over other difficult discussions.   In News for the 1%: Manhattan's luxury rental market is booming with units hitting $100K a month, and it's easier than ever to fly private without owning a jet. Then, a new industry in China lets aging parents rent "adult children" — but what about the pain of knowing your actual adult child may never launch?   Travel segment: Shoulder season is shrinking and so are the savings; we've got U.S. destinations that feel like international getaways (no passport needed), and the TSA sparked backlash for telling passengers they can bring a hammock through security. Yes, a hammock.   We settle the Logan vs. Provo debate and answer the age-old rivalry: BYU Creamery or Aggie Ice Cream?   We end with the AI question of the day.   KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

Meghan Farner: What happens when your understanding of God expands beyond everything you thought you knew?In today's episode, we're joined by Meghan Farner, host of the podcast Hidden Wisdom, app creator, teacher, and 1:1 coach, to have a personal conversation about her journey into a more intimate relationship with the Divine.Meghan shares how her experiences with channeling opened her eyes to a deeper connection with God and began to shift the way she understood spirituality, faith, and even herself. As her relationship with the Divine expanded, so much of what she thought she knew began to change and grow too. We talk about her journey of coming to know Jesus in a new and deeply personal way, and how, in the process of getting to know Him, she has found herself coming to know herself more fully. We explore what it looks like to stay curious, question what we've been taught, and remain open to a relationship with God that continues to unfold in unexpected ways.This is a conversation about faith, curiosity, transformation, surrender, and the beautiful connection between knowing God and knowing yourself.Come listen, share your own experiences, and join the Through the Veil community as we continue exploring spiritual gifts, life beyond this one, and the ways we may be connected to those we love—even when we can't see them.

Mackenzie Lueck, 23-letnia studentka University of Utah, byłaaktywna w środowisku tzw. sugar dating i według ustaleń śledczych utrzymywała kontakt z mężczyznami poznanymi przez internet jako „sugar baby”. W czerwcu 2019 roku wróciła do Salt Lake City i w nocy po przylocie udała się naumówione spotkanie. Niedługo potem kontakt z nią się urwał, a młoda kobieta zaginęła bez śladu. To, co miało być zwykłym nocnym spotkaniem, szybko przerodziło się w jedną z najbardziej niepokojących spraw zaginięć w Utah.

The Salt Lake City airport definitely has a lot going for it, but what it doesn't have is its own electrical grid, like Pittsburgh's does. For the past few years, Pittsburgh International Airport has been generating on-site electricity, more than it needs even at peak operation, to fortify itself against the kind of power outages that hit airports (unsettlingly often) across the world. City Cast Pittsburgh host Megan Harris brings David into the little-known world of airport energy independence, showing how a one-time investment can bring the kind of peace of mind that both travelers and operators hope for every day.

Luke 7:36-50 - Speaker: Will Galkin - What is grace? Ephesians 2:8–9 tells us that we are saved by grace through faith. It is the gift of God, not the result of our works. But in Luke 7:36–50, grace is not simply stated. It is illustrated. Jesus encounters a woman known for her sin and a religious man confident in his own standing and tells a story about two debtors who share the same problem. Neither can pay. Through this encounter, we discover that grace is God canceling a debt we could never repay and, in doing so, changing what we love. Forgiveness cannot be earned through religious effort or good works. It is received through faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus forgives sinners who cannot pay, and those who understand how much they have been forgiven respond with a life of love for him.

For this weeks Mormon News Podcast,  John Dehlin and Meggan Hayes dig into what Bloomberg uncovered about the Church's growing real estate empire, plus warnings about "baseball baptisms" and the push for convert growth, concerns about the Church's new Sunday meeting schedule, the sentencing of a polygamous sect leader, and a new LDS strategy for bringing nonmembers into local meetinghouses.Bloomberg's investigation examines just how much land The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints owns across the United States and how its property holdings have grown. We look at the numbers, where that land is concentrated, and what the investigation reveals about the scale of the Church's real estate portfolio.Links:Bloomberg Digs Into the Church's Land Holdings: https://youtu.be/G0pU8s0hlJUHistorian Matthew Bowman warns against chasing membership growth at the expense of meaningful conversion, pointing to the infamous era of "baseball baptisms."

Public-facing ward activities can appear in online searches and allow nonmembers to find local events and RSVP. The Church is encouraging wards to make activities more accessible to outsiders, while its own success stories show these community events can also lead to Sunday attendance and contact with missionaries. We look at how this fits with new research being conducted among nonmembers who attend LDS activities.Links:The Church's New Activity-Sharing Push: https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/activity-sharing-a-simple-way-for-latter-day-saints-to-invite-friends-to-church-ward-events___________________Show NotesYouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

Top federal prosecutors from the Four Corner states are descending upon the Phoenix metro this week as part of an annual conference meant to tackle crime and justice in Indian Country. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has details. A hotel room full of victim advocates, attorneys, and tribal law enforcement personnel congregate in Glendale. Arizona's top prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Timothy Courchaine, reminds them why they are all meeting. “It may sound like priorities are elsewhere in this administration, but all of the U.S. attorneys up here and every member of leadership in the Department of Justice will tell you: Indian Country is always a priority.” From Phoenix and Albuquerque to Denver and Salt Lake City, Courchaine stresses they are all on the same team. “If you work with a rural tribe, whether it's in Utah, Colorado, New Mexico or Arizona, it might feel like you are at the ends of the earth.” Three cubs belonging to Osso in the Anan Wildlife Observatory at Tongass National Forest. (Courtesy U.S. Forest Service / Facebook) A major logging project planned for Alaska's Tongass National Forest is raising concerns about potential impacts to subsistence resources. The U.S. Forest Service acknowledges the project could affect deer harvests relied on by communities in Southeast Alaska, where the Tongass has long supported Alaska Native cultural and subsistence practices. Conservationists are now pushing back against plans to log thousands of acres of old-growth forest, as Mark Moran reports. Conservationists are pushing back on a massive old growth logging plan by the Forest Service that would carve new roads through thousands of acres of Alaska’s Tongass National Forest. The agency says it will revitalize the logging industry and improve habitat and ecosystems for native species. The Revilla Integrated Research Project aims to log 4,000 acres of old growth trees in the Tongass near Ketchikan, harvest 83 million board feet of timber, and build more than 40 miles of roadway. Southeast Alaska Conservation Council’s Nathan Newcomber says the development plan threatens the habitat of a number of animals. He says even the Forest Service has acknowledged the risk. “Deer, bears, wolves, birds like the Queen Charlie Goshawk. They also state that they acknowledge the significant likelihood of impact to subsistence, including on deer harvest.” There were at least 120 objections to the plan during a public comment period, but the Forest Service says it intends to begin the work and address legal challenges later. Southeast Alaska has been transitioning away from clear cutting old tree stands in favor of what’s known as young growth logging, which Newcomber and other environmental advocates support, even though the practice now comprises only about one percent of the region’s economy. “To go back to this bygone era from the 1970s where you just clear-cut landscapes, it makes absolutely no sense. Nobody supports it apart from extractive industry and politicians. But local communities in Southeast Alaska, they wanna protect what we have. It’s our cultural way of life. It’s the way that people live up here.” Southeast Alaska is also highly dependent on tourism to support local economies. Driven largely by cruise ship traffic, the region sees as many as two million visitors a year, according to Alaska’s Southeast Conference. Confederate Brig. Gen. William L.. Cabell, left, and Union Col. William F. Cloud led troops during the skirmish. And on this day in 1863, fighting broke out near Camp Pike in the Choctaw Nation, in what is now Oklahoma. The skirmish came during the Civil War, when Indian Territory became a battleground involving Union and Confederate forces. Camp Pike had been used by Confederate troops following the Battle of Honey Springs, one of the war's largest battles in Indian Territory. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

A shock to no one, Jack Posobiec is at the center of it, calling for an end to "toxic feminism" — but Matt Walsh, TPUSA, and Fresh and Fit are in there too. The result is a propaganda campaign that's as uncomfortable as the case itself.Next, Jared takes us to school on "Data Republican," a disabled, Salt Lake City-based MAGA star who is now working for the deep state. She seems to like James Lindsay a lot, and her involvement in a botched leaking effort has produced one of the most awkwardly written essays in the history of that right-wing media.So tune in for an episode that's sure to leave you feeling chopped, screwed, and pining for Taliban rule. THANK YOU @CONCEPTUALJAMES!!!!!Links for Madeline:Instagram (@peltzmadeline)BlueSky (@peltzmadeline.bsky.social)Newsletter (Number Two Pencil)

Send us Fan MailRHUGT S5 E3 Porsha Brings the PepperRHUGT Season 5, Episode 3 — “White Lies”The Housewives head to Kyle Richards' legendary White Party in Beverly Hills, and the guest list is packed with familiar faces, including Eileen Davidson, Camille Grammer, Adrienne Maloof, Crystal Kung Minkoff, Denise Richards, Meredith Marks and Faye Resnick. Kyle is still wrestling with how she and Mo's relationship got to this point, while Mo arrives late—and commits the ultimate White Party offense by wearing a beige blazer. Porsha brings plenty of comic relief, telling Gizelle that she “brought the pepper” to the sea of white people, while Teresa's questionable white dress has us wondering if she's doing any favors for the Garden State. Meanwhile, the Salt Lake City women are keeping their distance, and Gizelle immediately senses an opportunity to investigate the tension between Lisa, Meredith, Whitney and Bronwyn.The biggest entertainment of the night comes courtesy of Luann, who celebrates the 20th anniversary of RHOBH with an absolutely wild performance involving a zipline and a very questionable contraption. Vicki is visibly confused, Kyle compares Luann to the many entertainers who have performed at her parties, and the Housewives' past performances remind us that maybe some things are better left in the Bravo archives. Luann also confronts Erika over calling her rude at BravoCon, explaining that Erika had ghosted her after Luann repeatedly tried to make plans. Erika explains that her life was falling apart at the time and insists it wasn't personal, leading to a surprisingly amicable resolution. But the real fireworks come from Gizelle, who is determined to uncover exactly what Whitney and Bronwyn have been saying about Lisa and Meredith—and Porsha is more than happy to provide the receipts.The episode also gives us some emotional Beverly Hills history as Kyle gathers the original and longtime Housewives to celebrate 20 years of the franchise. Camille opens up about the devastating circumstances surrounding her divorce from Kelsey Grammer, while Camille's speech to Kyle calls her an icon, survivor and force of nature. Kyle reflects on everything she has experienced since the show began and admits she never imagined RHOBH would last more than a few months. Of course, the night eventually devolves back into classic Housewives chaos, with Luann continuing to sing, Vicki refusing to join her for a drink, Teresa singing along while Vicki visibly suffers, and Gizelle declaring Vicki a “wet blanket.” As the group heads to Atlanta, Lisa is already getting emotional and it looks like the next round of drama is about to begin.Real Housewives, Ultimate Girls Trip, Season Five, cast analysis, reality TV, housewives drama, Bravo, TV recapSupport the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/ 

What can Nauvoo land deeds actually tell us about Joseph Smith and the practice of plural marriage? In this episode of LDS Discussions, we take a close look at Nauvoo land records and examine claims that deeds issued to women –including women who were later identified as plural wives of Joseph Smith –provide evidence for Joseph Smith's practice of polygamy. The records are fascinating, but they are also considerably more complicated than they might appear at first glance. We examine the legal and historical context surrounding Nauvoo property, including the difference between a grantee and a recognized landowner, quitclaim deeds, coverture, widow's dower rights, property held in the  names of women and children, and the ways Joseph Smith and others used property arrangements to protect land from creditors and other legal complications. We also take a  closer look at individual cases involving Helen Mar Kimball, Sarah Ann Whitney, Flora Woodworth, Mary Elizabeth Rollins Lightner, Lydia Dibble Granger, Mercy Fielding Thompson, Philinda Myrick, Emma Smith, and others. Several of these women had connections to plural marriage, but that raises an important historical question: Does the existence of a deed help explain why a particular transaction happened, or does the deed itself provide evidence that polygamy was the reason for the transaction? Throughout the episode, we compare the deeds with tax records, William Clayton's journal, bankruptcy proceedings, and other contemporary evidence to see whether the names and dates appearing on the deeds accurately reflect who actually owned, occupied, controlled, or benefited from the property. One of the key conclusions is that you cannot simply take Nauvoo land deeds at face value. A plural marriage may sometimes provide a possible explanation for a property transaction, but the transaction itself does not necessarily prove that a plural marriage existed. This episode explores the complicated gap between what was legally recorded, what people were actually doing, and what later historians assume those records mean.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

Johnson sat down with some of those leaders at the Church’s newly opened Humanitarian Center on Thursday, Aug. 6, to talk about how the group has worked together and the outcomes they have seen in the lives of those they have served.On this episode of the Church News podcast, President Johnson and others speak with Church News editor Jon Ryan Jensen and share examples of the successes seen three years into this initiative.“[The Church’s] members are committed to lifting and caring for all of God’s children,” President Johnson said. “And we’re happy to have the opportunity to collaborate together to make miracles happen in the lives of women and children.”

What happens when you spend your life trying to find your way in a religion that never seems to have a space for you? Today, Mormon Stories welcomes Eli McCann, attorney, writer, podcaster, and humor columnist for The Salt Lake Tribune, to hear insights into his upbringing as a gay man in the LDS faith.Eli knew from a young age that he was gay, but understood that there would never be a place for him as an openly gay man in Mormonism. He served a mission, held leadership callings, and became deeply involved in the church while largely keeping his sexuality to himself. Eventually, after moving to Palau and serving as a Young Men's president, Eli reached a point where he could no longer reconcile his life with the church's teachings about homosexuality.He shares what led him to stop attending, come out to his family, and ultimately resign his membership—including the memorable experience of resigning with a Mormon bishop on top of a Book of Mormon. We also discuss the 2015 LGBTQ+ policy, his evolving views on faith, and why he has chosen to remain in Utah despite his complicated relationship with Mormonism.Eli is now known for finding humor in the quirks of Mormon culture through his writing for The Salt Lake Tribune. His new book, We're Thankful for the Moisture: A Gay Guy's Guide to Mormon Faith, Family, and Fruit Preservation, collects many of those stories and explores the intersections of Mormon culture, family, faith, and life as a gay man in Utah.This is a conversation about faith, family, sexuality, and learning to move forward without losing meaningful parts of your past.You can purchase Eli's new book here: https://www.signaturebooks.com/books/p/were-thankful-for-the-moisture___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

How often are you out in nature in Salt Lake City? It's not always easy to know which natural resources are clean and safe to use in an urban setting, and city rivers get a particularly bad rap. It's true that cities have had eras of sewage mishandling and high boat traffic — but many have also cleaned up their act, through the tireless work of local advocates and politicians. Portland, OR, is one of those cities, and City Cast Portland host Claudia Meza joins this episode of Your City Could Be Better to debunk the assumptions and fears about her city's river, the Willamette. Learn all about how a journalist-turned-governor led the charge to clean up Portland's waterfront, and how a quirky organizer — and lots of enthusiastic swimmers — have carried the torch. Mentioned on the show: Portland's riverfront park, named after former Governor Tom McCall Swiss residents using river to swim home from work RFK Jr. swimming (in jeans) in Rock Creek in Washington, D.C.
