Actress Anne Heche poses at the premiere of “Cedar Rapids” during the 2011 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah on Sunday, Jan. 23, 2011. Days after her car smashed into a home in Los Angeles, actress Anne Heche remains hospitalized on a ventilator.Danny Moloshok, Associated Press Actress Anne Heche is “not expected to survive” following a fiery car crash in Los Angeles, People has reported.“Unfortunately, due to her accident, Anne suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and remains in a coma, in critical condition,” a representative for Heche told People. “She is not expected to survive. It has long been her choice to donate her organs and she’s being kept on life support to determine if any are viable.”What happened to Anne Heche? On Aug. 5, Heche ran her car into a house in Los Angeles, sparking a fire that involved nearly 60 firefighters, per The Associated Press.“Shortly after the accident, Anne became unconscious, slipping into a coma and is in critical condition,” spokeswoman Heather Duffy Boylston said earlier this week, according to The Associated Press. “She has a significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention.”A few minutes before the crash, the actress bought a bright red wig at a salon, per the Los Angeles Times. Video footage shortly before the crash shows the actress speeding, slamming into the garage of an apartment building and almost hitting a pedestrian, the Los Angeles Times reported.Heche was under investigation by the LAPD for misdemeanor DUI and hit and run, according to CNN. An initial blood test revealed that the actress had cocaine in her system after the crash, according to the Los Angeles Times. Tributes and well-wishes for the actress began flooding social media shortly after the crash. “More than her extraordinary talent, she saw spreading kindness and joy as her life’s work — especially moving the needle for acceptance of who you love,” according to a recent statement shared provided on behalf of Heche’s family, per CNN. “She will be remembered for her courageous honesty and dearly missed for her light.”Who is Anne Heche? What movies is Anne Heche in? Heche starred in the soap opera “Another World” from 1987 to 1991. In the late 1990s, she starred alongside Johnny Depp in “Donnie Brasco” and Harrison Ford in “Six Days, Seven Nights,” according to her IMDb page. Other credits include: “Volcano” (1997).“I Know What You Did Last Summer” (1997).“Return to Paradise” (1998). “Men in Trees” (2006-2008).“The Legend of Korra” (2014). “Aftermath” (2016). “Chicago P.D.” (2018-2019). “All Rise” (2021-2022).She was a contestant on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2020. In June, the actress finished filming for Lifetime’s “ Girl in Room 13,” which will premiere in the fall, People reported. She will also star alongside Dermot Mulroney in the horror-thriller “Full Ride,” which is expected to release in 2023.

Attorney General Merrick Garland speaks at the Justice Department Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022, in Washington.Susan Walsh, Associated Press Attorney General Merrick Garland revealed he “personally” approved the decision to seek the search warrant performed on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, early this week.Garland, who spoke briefly to press Thursday evening, also announced the Department of Justice has filed a court motion in the Southern District of Florida to unseal the search warrant and the property receipt, a document that lists items seized during the search. This decision comes after Trump made the operation public and because of “substantial public interest” in the matter.As was suggested by legal analysts, the attorney general confirmed the search warrant was authorized by a federal court “upon required finding of probable cause” (the Fourth Amendment requires reasonable grounds to conduct a search). And because it was approved by Garland, it met standards set by Attorney General William Barr in 2020. On Tuesday, the White House also disclosed that the FBI did not give President Joe Biden a heads up about the operation, indicating it happened independently.Before conducting a search warrant, the Department of Justice seeks less intrusive means in investigations, Garland emphasized. And he clarified that the FBI gave copies of both the warrant and property receipt to Trump’s counsel, who was onsite during the search — though Trump claims agents did not allow his lawyers near.“Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly without fear or favor. Under my watch that is precisely what the Justice Department is doing,” Garland said.Monday’s operation sparked fierce debate about the legality of searching a former president’s home. “It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024,” Trump posted on his Truth Social account. Related Perspective: The Mar-a-Lago raid is a risky move on Trump and a sobering moment for the country What was the FBI looking for? Initially the FBI and Justice Department remained tight-lipped about the search, but reports emerged that the agents were looking for documents that should have been returned to the National Archives when Trump’s term ended. Some of these were classified and may have been documents related to the U.S. nuclear program, sources told The Washington Post.Under the Presidential Records Act of 1978 records pertaining to an administration’s work belong to the public sector. This law was passed after President Richard Nixon refused to give back White House records during the Watergate scandal. Presidents or their staff — including the vice president — cannot keep records, such as memos and meeting notes, created during their time in office. The act specifies that if an administration wants to destroy records, it must first get the approval of the U.S. archivist, who manages the National Archives.It’s not the first time the FBI has looked for documents in Trump’s estate. In February, FBI agents retrieved 15 boxes of documents from Mar-a-Lago that should have been returned to federal custody. This search placed Trump under a federal investigation for allegedly mishandling classified documents.‘Release the documents now!’ Initially, the Deseret News considered a few scenarios of arguments Trump’s lawyers could use in his defense. These included claiming documents at Mar-a-Lago fell under executive privilege or were considered private while the National Archives classified them as belonging to the public sector. Neither of these arguments would hold up if the FBI found classified material such as information on America’s nuclear program.Trump has claimed the search was “prosecutorial misconduct,” that federal agents broke a lock the FBI and DOJ had asked him to install and that his staff was cooperative. He even hinted the FBI may have planted evidence against him. The warrant and property receipt will reveal more about the search. On this Trump agrees with Garland. “Release the Documents Now!”, he posted on Truth Social. However, he has until 3 p.m. ET to object the motion to unseal these documents.If incriminating documents are found in Trump’s home, and if the investigation leads to a conviction, the former president would be prevented from ever holding office again. U.S. law states that if someone is charged with obstructing or mishandling federal documents, that person “shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.”This story has been updated with new reporting.

BYU wide receiver Puka Nacua goes up to try and make a catch during Baylor’s 38-24 win over the Cougars on Saturday, Oct. 16, 2021, in Waco, Texas. BYU and Baylor meet again during the 2022 season, this time in Provo.Jaren Wilkey/BYU Unlike Utah, BYU isn’t seen as a College Football Playoff contender this season.The Cougars, though, do have a challenging schedule that, if they were to go undefeated, could change that as the program plays its final year of independence in 2022.What’s more likely, however, is that BYU plays the role of playoff spoiler in its final season before moving to the Big 12 Conference in 2023. Related ‘Deadly in the red zone:’ What two former BYU greats say about this year’s tight ends How many times has BYU football been ranked in the preseason Associated Press poll? CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli predicted just that for the Cougars this season, seeing BYU as one of five teams that could bring chaos to the College Football Playoff race.“Like Notre Dame, BYU is an independent program that schedules well. Unlike Notre Dame, the Cougars do not have an obvious path to the College Football Playoff without doing something extraordinary,” Fornelli wrote. “However, that difficult schedule means the Cougars will play teams that do have a clear path, and they’re a team capable of knocking them off course.”The other teams that Fornelli believes could be chaotic for the CFP this year include Power Five programs like Auburn, South Carolina and Stanford, as well as Group of Five school Kent State.The Cougars’ biggest reason for inclusion on this list is the program’s schedule, which includes several Power Five schools that have aspirations of making a run at the playoff.“In the first three weeks of the season, the Cougars will get a shot at defending Big 12 champion Baylor and Pac-12 runner-up Oregon. In early October, there’s a neutral-site game against Notre Dame in Las Vegas,” Fornelli wrote. “While those three programs aren’t favorites for a playoff berth in the manner of Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State, Oregon and Baylor play in Power Five conferences with the chance to win their leagues. Notre Dame has reached the playoff twice.” Related Why BYU offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick loves his ‘no-name’ offense Even Arkansas, the SEC team that will be making its first trip ever to Provo in mid-October, is seen by some as a possible playoff darkhorse.By the season’s third week, though — BYU hosts Baylor on Sept. 10, then plays at Oregon on Sept. 17 — the Cougars could have already spoiled another team’s chance at making the playoff. “A loss to BYU would not hurt Oregon or Baylor in their quest to win the Pac-12 or Big 12, but it could be the deciding factor in their bid to become one of the top four,” Fornelli wrote.

The Colorado River just outside of Moab is pictured on Sept. 20, 2021.Spenser Heaps, Deseret News As Colorado River flows and reservoir levels decline, we face a new era of aridity where we live with what the river offers. Experimentation and adaptation can help us navigate these changes. I want to share three ideas I explored over the past two years to manage the river based on flow and storage rather than storage alone. I hope these ideas can contribute towards more sustainable and equitable river management.Live within our means Starting in spring 2020, my colleague Jian Wang and I explored what the Colorado River would look like if we lived within our means. We programmed a rule that capped basin depletions at an amount equal to average flow over the prior 10 years. The rule triggered when Lake Mead drew down below 1,060 feet, a level that was — at that time — below the actual level. We implemented our proposed rule in a free, downloadable model. The model simulated the worst recorded flows in the Colorado River from the current day back to A.D. 1416, when flows were reconstructed from tree rings. We then compared depletions and reservoir drawdown for the current rules and our new rule. We found that current operations drew down Lake Powell and Lake Mead to critical levels in just a few years. Living within our means, on the other hand, sustained both reservoirs above their critical levels for long periods of time.  Related The drying Colorado River needs your voice. Here’s how to make it heard Adapt consumption to reservoir inflows to stabilize Lake Mead’s level A second free, downloadable model identified the combinations of reservoir inflow and consumption to sustain Lake Mead at its current level of 1,041 feet (Figure 1, dashed blue line). Combinations below the line in the blue fill area will raise Lake Mead’s level while combinations above the line in the pink and red areas will lower Lake Mead’s level. Reduce consumption when Lake Mead inflows decline due to lower Lake Powell releases or a weaker monsoon (pink fill in Figure 1).   A graph provided by David Rosenberg shows a model of Lake Mead levels related to consumption and reservoir inflow. Provoke discussion about adaptation In a third effort, I invited 26 Colorado River managers and experts to allocate water for all regions of the Basin, including First Nations and the Colorado River delta. Using a Google Sheet, they set the annual flow, and then entered the volume of water to consume, save or trade for their account. Next, they decided how much of their collective remaining account balances to leave in Lake Powell and Lake Mead before moving to the next year. Related Report: Glen Canyon Dam plumbing problems could cause ‘massive bottleneck’ on Colorado River The discussions evoked constructive feedback plus lots of talk about equity, sustainability, hydropower generation, water prices, protecting endangered native fish and other issues. I invite you to virtually manage a Colorado River basin account. Open the repository, download the Excel file, move into Google Sheets, and invite people to start.These three examples are among numerous possible ways to adapt to low flow and low storage. All three approaches grapple with challenges such as how low a flow to consider, how to divide cutbacks among users, and how to adapt when flow forecasts overestimate actual flow. Related Is draining human-made Lake Powell a practical solution to drought in the West? These examples give me hope for the future of our Colorado River. Prior generations had the foresight to plan and build the two largest reservoirs in the United States. These reservoirs helped the basin weather a drought that began in 2000. Now we face more years of low flows and low reservoir storage. Our generation will be defined by how we adapt, how we experiment, how we jointly learn, how we collaborate, how we cope with numerous uncertainties and how we pursue goals such as more equity. I hope we are the generation that plans, strengthens and adapts in the face of low flows and low storage.David Rosenberg is a professor at Utah State University.

President Joe Biden is photographed on July 28, 2022. Many wonder who will win the presidential nominations for the Republican and Democratic parties. Will we end up with Trump and Biden again?Susan Walsh, Associated Press Despite big problems, both President Joseph Biden and former President Donald Trump have in some ways enjoyed a reasonably good August — so far. Both have terribly low approval ratings, but both have shown resiliency.Trump may be in trouble with the U.S. Department of Justice, but he remains the most popular Republican and the favorite to win the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. Biden, meanwhile, has a majority of Democrats hoping he won’t seek r-election, but he has enjoyed a string of recent legislative wins. Related Perspective: The Mar-a-Lago raid is a risky move on Trump and a sobering moment for the country So, what’s up with these two old guys? Both Trump and Biden will break records for age if they run again in 2024. Why are these octogenarians dominating the presidential field? Can’t the nation do better?Pignanelli: “We find (in our study) that people are happy to support older candidates in elections, but are less likely to approve of their performance in office.” — Jennifer Wolak, Damon Roberts, Political Behavior  Aging politicians are like old shoes — worn, comfortable and preferred if no easy alternative exists. (Elderly lobbyists do not enjoy similar deference.) Although unknown in the modern era, the events Americans are witnessing in the national political arena have deep historical precedent. From 1800 to the late 20th century, prior presidents and former nominees often haunted their parties’ nomination activities for one more chance. Related Opinion: Joe Biden is how old? We need an age maximum on the presidency Other dynamics are also at play. Both Trump and Biden were elected because of who they were not (Trump was not Hillary Clinton and the D.C. establishment, Biden was not Trump). Polls reveal most Americans want neither Trump nor Biden to run again but few identify replacements. The realignment of ideologies and demographics among the two major parties is still occurring, thereby hampering the breakout of new leaders. In this vacuum Biden and Trump are the de facto champions.History is repeating the preference for old shoes by voters nervous about potentially ill-fitting substitutes. Related Trump or Biden? Most American voters don’t want either in 2024, new poll shows Webb: It is depressing to think that these two dinosaurs may once again be the candidates for president in 2024. As an old dinosaur myself, I believe it’s time for them to slink off and allow a new generation of leaders to take over.If Trump somehow managed to win, I would welcome him reversing course on Biden’s liberal policies. But I no longer trust his judgement, especially when it comes to world affairs. He lost my support when he damaged the Republican Party and the cause of conservatism by continuing to falsely claim (to this day) that the 2020 election was stolen.We have entered an extremely perilous time in foreign affairs. Russia is at war with Ukraine and China threatens war with Taiwan. Both bluster about severe consequences and war expansion if the U.S. and its allies make the wrong moves. Without tough, but level-headed and thoughtful leadership, we could be facing World War III with nuclear weapons in the mix.While Biden’s leadership in foreign affairs hotspots has been abysmal, especially his disastrous retreat from Afghanistan, Trump is far too erratic and impulsive to trust leading the world at this time. In these scary times, neither Trump or Biden can provide the leadership we need.Politically, this is a time of great opportunity for Republicans. The House, Senate and the presidency (in 2024) are waiting to be taken. The only person who can mess up GOP chances for victory is Trump. Related Perspective: The Mar-a-Lago raid is a risky move on Trump and a sobering moment for the country Rumors abound that Trump will announce his reelection bid even before the midterm elections in November. This despite pressure from GOP candidates who worry it would hurt their chances to take control of Congress. If Trump does announce soon, how will this impact Utah’s November elections, especially for the U.S. Senate?Pignanelli: If Trump reveals before November, independent Senate candidate Evan McMullin will pounce fast. He will leverage the fear of a second Trump presidency, and the need for him to be in the Senate to push back, as fundraising and “get out the vote” tactics. Yet, McMullin benefits only if Sen. Mike Lee is unable to counter that the challenger’s actions again demonstrate a bend against conservative principles. Related Will Trump run in 2024? He says the only decision left is when to make the announcement Opinion: Are Mike Lee and Evan McMullin really this close in the race for U.S. Senate? Down ballot Democrats may receive a slight bump from voters incentivized by an aggressive McMullin push. Regardless, the coming red wave in Utah will not be hampered by an early Trump declaration.Webb: If Trump announces before November it will be proof that he doesn’t care at all about Republican candidates and what’s best for the party. He only cares about himself and staying continually in the spotlight. If the GOP does not win control of the Senate, it will be Trump’s fault for endorsing bad candidates.Is there a chance that other candidates may try for the presidency regardless of Trump or Biden?Pignanelli: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis possesses the fortitude to challenge Trump. Moderate Republican Govs. John Kasich (Ohio) and Larry Hogan (Maryland) may take the plunge. Democrats love to grumble about Biden, and no challenger has yet to step forward. But rumors are circulating about Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Related Will Mike Pence run for president in 2024? Webb: A number of Republicans will try to compete with Trump. Someone from the far left will likely challenge Biden. But Biden and Trump, unfortunately, are the odds-on favorites to win the nominations.Republican LaVarr Webb is a former journalist and a semiretired small farmer and political consultant.

Utah Lake is pictured near Lincoln Point in Utah County on Thursday, Jan. 13, 2022. With Utah overdue for an earthquake, what would happen to human-made islands if a quake hit?Kristin Murphy, Deseret News The recent article, “Dredging Up the Past” by Benoît Morenne, does an able job of exploring the potential and pitfalls of the planned Utah Lake restoration project. One thing notably absent from the discussion, though, is Utah Valley’s location in an active seismic zone.Building on dredged landfill or actual lake beds has subjected buildings to soil liquefaction and heavy damage in past earthquakes. The Marina District of San Francisco was built atop rubble from the 1906 earthquake and from dredging in the bay. It experienced some of the worst damage in the 1989 earthquake. Additionally, large areas of Mexico City, built on the drained lake bed of former Lake Texcoco, suffered major devastation in a 1985 earthquake even though nearly 250 miles from the epicenter.Building residences in the middle of a lake on soil that will likely suffer liquefaction in an active seismic zone is a risky proposition. As seen from the 2020 earthquake, Utahns don’t have to wait for one of the segments of the Wasatch Fault to slip to experience a consequential earthquake. Discussion over the Utah Lake project should take Utah’s seismic danger into consideration.Jonathan D. HepworthAthens, Georgia

Utah quarterback Cam Rising goes through drills during practice on Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2022. ESPN’s Bill Connelly believes the Utes QB could have a big impact on the College Football Playoff race this season.Hunter Dyke, Utah Athletics It’s been well-established at this point that Utah football is being seen as a College Football Playoff contender in the 2022 season.The Utes are ranked No. 8 in the USA Today coaches preseason poll released earlier this week, the highest the program has ever been ranked to start a season.Utah returns a strong contingent of players on both sides of the ball, and is led by Kyle Whittingham, the second-longest tenured head coach in college football. Related ‘We’re fortunate to have him’: How Florida transfer Mohamoud Diabate impacts Utes Utes maintaining focus on work at hand during dog days of August On Thursday, ESPN’s Bill Connelly ranked the nation’s top 25 players who could have an impact on the College Football Playoff race and, not surprisingly, the Utes’ Cam Rising made it high on the list.He comes in at No. 5, under the category “Quarterbacks with a potential game-changing leap in them.”Connelly cited what Rising did for the Utes last season when he took over for Charlie Brewer three games into 2021 as to why the junior quarterback could have another big leap in development this year.“Utah was 1-2 and off the national radar when Rising, a Texas transfer, started his first game last season. The Utes won nine of their next 10 and took their first Pac-12 title as Rising finished the season sixth in total QBR,” Connelly wrote.“In 352 dropbacks, Rising suffered only five interceptions and six sacks. He was accurate, mistake-free and ridiculously dangerous with his legs (9.0 yards per scramble).”  Related ‘This is the best program in the Pac-12’: What anonymous coaches say about the Utes Who will be the Utes’ QB2? There are a few other Utah-related ties on Connelly’s list as well. Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart, the former Roy High and Corner Canyon High quarterback who transferred from USC after his freshman season in 2021, was considered for the list under the category “most important transfers.”Former Arizona State quarterback Jayden Daniels, who the Utes recruited heavily, is No. 25, among the “spoiler quarterbacks” category. Daniels transferred to LSU this offseason.One spot in front of him is Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson, who Rising and Utah will face in the season opener. Richardson is going into his first season as a starter after backing up Emory Jones last season.“Florida’s roster is probably too flawed to win big, but Richardson’s pure potential could derail title hopes for Week 1 opponent Utah and/or contenders and conference foes Georgia and Texas A&M,” Connelly wrote.The Sept. 3 matchup between Utah and Florida at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium — aka The Swamp — will give Rising the platform to kick-start what could become a momentous 2022 season.“Can he maintain this level of form with a top-10 spotlight on him this fall and with a line that lost a pair of all-conference performers? And can he and his receivers produce a few more big plays and easy points? A pair of affirmative answers could make the Utes a top-five team,” Connelly concluded about the Utes’ quarterback.

Lincoln Holmes (6) of Deseret Hills scores a touch down against the Brighton Bengals in Cottonwood Heights on Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022.Ben B. Braun, Deseret News Box ScoreThere was a moment on Thursday night when administrators for Brighton and Desert Hills started seriously talking about possible alternatives to their season-opening football game as the lightning outside flashed regularly all around Cottonwood Heights.In reality though, Desert Hills didn’t pack for a hotel stay, so unless the 7 p.m. scheduled game kicked off before 9, it was likely going to simply be canceled and Desert Hills would bus back to St. George having never played a snap.While the administrators worried about logistics, Desert Hills players calmly sat in the halls of Brighton High School waiting for the storm to pass.It might’ve even been a blessing in disguise, because after the 90-minute weather delay, the Thunder were amped to play. They scored on four of five possessions to build a three-touchdown lead and then made it hold up with great defensive stops in the second half for the 28-21 season-opening victory.

Once again a huge night for Maeser Prep player Cat Miller, who scored two goals as she joins a select group of only 10 players in state history who have recorded 100 or more goals during their high school tenure. “Once we settled down and started possessing the ball, we were able to spread it around for Cat and our strikers to find and exploit. Cat doesn’t need much space to create massive problems for other teams,” said Maeser Prep coach Dustin Simmons.Mountain Ridge 1, Fremont 0 A strong defensive performance from Mountain Ridge allowed it to squeak out the one-goal road victory at Fremont. Kya Newton notched the only goal on an assist from Kelsie Petersen in the first half, with Elle Rafajko recording the shutout in goal. “The girls really played team soccer today. They shared the ball well all game in possession and controlled the middle of the field. Defensively they were solid and really didn’t give up many chances,” said Mountain Ridge coach Jeremy King.Provo 2, Jordan 0 Addie Rose scored a pair of goals in the first half as Provo evened up its record on the season with a strong road victory at Jordan. “Hard work pays off. The girls focus on the past game was to keep the ball consistent and work hard when we don’t have the ball. There has been a lot of improvement in the last two games on our focus and having this small goals has allow to achieve our goal for the first preseason,” said Provo coach Adoney Jovel.Riverton 1, Olympus 0 After starting their season with two tough losses, Riverton got a bounce-back win Thursday evening against previously undefeated Olympus. Tandem senior goalkeepers Annika Franz and Jade Goulding each contributed to Riverton’s shutout allowing junior Emmalee Christensen’s second half goal to decide the game in favor of the Silverwolves. “The girls played hard and really picked up their work rate in the second half. They are starting to gel as a team and are improving each time they play together,” said Riverton coach Paul Moizer.Bountiful 4, Juan Diego 1 Leading 1-0 at the half, Bountiful tacked on three more goals in the second half to runaway from Juan Diego for its third win of the season. Outside of the goal from senior Chloe Pickett, RedHawks sophomore crew came up big with a goal from Oakley Jenson as well as two goals from Sophie Winzeler. “The girls are starting to figure out who we are,” said Bountiful coach Lou Plank.Ridgeline 2, Skyridge 1 Ridgeline continued its impressive start to the season with a solid road victory at Skyridge. Sophomore Emilee Skinner came up big for Ridgeline by putting a ball in the back of the net, as well as assisting teammate Brynli Baker ion her second half goal. “Our defense played very organized tonight. Skyridge is a very fast team and that forced us to make adjustments to help manage those threats. Offensively we were able to connect well and find each other in some dangerous spots. It was a great win against a very good team,” said Ridgeline coach Mark Tureson.
