Big names like Intel and Facebook also rose. Companies in retail, travel and entertainment moved up after the Commerce Department’s report on retail spending. Health insurers and hospital operators skidded after Pre...
A while back I found a new channel had appeared on the satellite system and with that channel came some old shows, including one of my all time favorites — “Designing Women.” The first five seasons were the best with the original cast members of Julia and Suzanne Sugarbaker, Charlene Fraser and Mary Jo Shively. But let’s not forget Anthony and Bernice. I loved the show for a number of reasons but first and foremost was it made me laugh. Not just a polite chuckle but a laugh out loud, snorting guffaw. Let’s face it there are some great one...

WORLAND - After 22 years of racking up preference points for a bighorn sheep tag, Matt Lentsch of Worland drew the coveted license this year. Not only did this year prove fortuitous in drawing the tag, but Lentsch was also able to bag a record ram. Lentsch said, "My ram will be the new Wyoming state record ram harvested with a bow." He harvested the ram on Aug. 5, in Area 12 east of Lovell, near Devils Canyon. Lentsch said, "I got it back in August but had to wait the 60-day drying period...

If you haven't heard by now, on Tuesday night the United State Men's National Team lost 2-1 to Trinidad and Tobago, a country with a smaller population than Montana and Wyoming combined. It was an embarrassing loss, but to make matters worse it knocked the U.S. out of the 2018 World Cup. This is the first time the U.S. hasn't qualified for the World Cup since 1986.
