By By Jessica Dunn • September 25, 2007

Are you someone who likes to claim you're an O.G.? How about one to always call someone else a poser? Milo Skate and Snowboard Shop has rights to do both. Milo is Utah's original snowboarding shop. It opened in 1984 selling snowboards and windsurfing gear.

Five men in desert camouflage appear suddenly on the blind side of a curve on a dusty road in the hills north of Utah Lake, their flat-black rifles slung at their sides.

Letter: Blaming Democrats for Iraq failures is getting old

September 24, 2007

Editor: Tiara Fuller is right ("Democrats hate America," Sept. 17). Certainly, the language and rhetoric used by MoveOn.org is questionable. The fact that they "slandered" an accomplished man such as Gen. Petraeus is objectionable to be certain, but no more objectionable than the fact that numerous Republican candidates have taken massive donations from defense contractors, who are reaping massive profits from a war which has cost the lives of more than 3,700 American men and women serving bravely in the armed forces of the United States.

By By Natalie Dicou • September 24, 2007

Saturday night, the cessation of UNLV victories over the U football team was put to rest at 11 games with the Rebels' 28-0 upset over the visiting Utes. The win, however, created a new problem for Sanford.

In search of a $70 million apology

By By Lauren Mueller • September 24, 2007

On March 9, 2005, Dan Rather signed off of his final broadcast as lead anchor and managing editor of the "CBS Evening News" with an appeal to courage -- courage in the face of physical harm and courage to stand up for truth. He left, or more accurately, was forced out, amid a flurry of controversy after the broadcast of unsubstantiated documents calling into question the military duty (or lack thereof) of the President.

Johnson’s efforts fall short

September 24, 2007

LAS VEGAS -- Doctors cleared Brian Johnson to play against UNLV. Kyle Whittingham didn't want to the chance if he didn't have to. After a scoreless first half, the Utes had no choice. In the end, it didn't matter either way. Despite getting their highly touted quarterback back, Johnson and the Utes could do no right and lost to UNLV, 27-0, to drop to 0-2 in the Mountain West Conference standings for the first time since 2002.
