  The effects of the Trump administration corporate tax reform on U.S. multinationals that were, as of the end of last year, holding some $1.4 trillion in cash overseas, are largely beneficial: Now these companies finally know how much of that money the U.S. wants — and there’s also some long-awaited clarity on how foreign profits will be taxed going forward. What’s less clear is how the changes will affect European plans to tax U.S. companies’ profits where they’re m

  Sexual harassment occurs at the Utah Legislature. How do I know this? I know this because sexual harassment occurs everywhere. The #MeToo movement, which started on social media as a way to support women who have experienced sexual harassment or assault, is still agitating political, entertainment, workplace and government circles. Those who find themselves tired of the movement attempt to minimize instances of harassment, especially when compared with harrowing accounts of sexual assault. But m

  18-01-2018 22:28
  It has become apparent what remains of the Jazz’s 2018 season is not a quick run to the playoffs, not a short path to competitive excellence, not a smooth glide with a tweak or two toward immediate success.Instead, it is a hard climb back up a mountain, covering ground that already had been won, and then was lost, and now must be won again.All that had been asked of Jazz fans leading up to last season — understanding and trust and patience — must be asked of them one more time.
