BYU football: For homecoming game, backs of jerseys will feature values, not names

Salt Lake Tribune - Five or so hours after saying the core values of his football program — Spirit, Tradition and Honor — would adorn the backs of BYU’s jerseys during every game this season, rather than players’ last names — the coach decided it would be for one game only after listening to the concerns of players in a team meeting. "Talked to my team tonite [sic]. They want to wear tradition spirit honor on jerseys for homecoming only. Last names for rest of the year. PERFECT!," Mendenhall wrote on his Twitter account. ...

D&C Lesson 33: "President Brigham Young Leads the Saints"

Ted L. Gibbons - In an August meeting held to resolve the matter of succession, the Lord placed the stamp of his approval on Brigham Young. One account gives the record in these words: Furthermore, the Spirit of God bore record to the Church on that occasion that the mantle of the Prophet Joseph—the power and authority that he was possessed of—were resting upon Brigham Young. The deceased Prophet's spirit was clearly reflected upon his utterances. A remarkable circumstance occurred on that occasion.

Best Peach Recipes of the Season

Kelsey Berteaux - Pick Your Peach As with all produce, buying local is best. Peaches stop getting sweeter as soon as they’re picked (though they do still ripen and get juicier after leaving the tree). Thus, the tastiest peaches will be local, ones picked already ripe and ready to eat. A tree-ripened peach should be fragrant and bruise easily under light pressure. You want to handle them like eggs. This softness means that ripe peaches should never be found in a large stack—that means they’re too green and not tree-ripened at all. When you do come across a peachy pyramid display like that found...

Slate photo essay: Documenting Mormon culture in Utah

Slate - Photographer Michael Friberg found himself living in Utah on and off for roughly five years and became fascinated by the two distinct cultures he found there. Photo from Slate. “There are essentially two different versions of Utah,” Friberg wrote via email. “There is the semi-liberal progressive outdoorsy part of Salt Lake City that makes up the counterculture, and then there are the surrounding suburbs and small towns that end up being overwhelmingly Mormon. The two sort of exist without a ton of crossover. Obviously that's a large generalization, but it was at least my experience.” Photo from Slate. Friberg grew up...
