LDS tools digital evolution

Time is running out. By the end of 2012, the stake and ward websites on classic.lds.org will be gone. Wards and stakes are strongly encouraged to begin using the new stake and ward tools on lds.org. If you use the computer for your calling, you will need to know what will and will not be available and how it has changed from the old to new set of tools. Many of the tools available in past years for members in the Church were accessed from a Church unit page. Tools such as ward calendar, membership directory and lesson schedules were accessed from this single page. To understand the change taking place, imagine replacing Microsoft Word with the whole suite of tools offered by Microsoft Office. This allows members to use the new tools in five unique ways:

Forbes Magazine Features LDS Student for Making $66k in One Month

After his junior year at Brigham Young University, Nick Walter, now 25, landed a great summer internship in the Seattle office of Pariveda Solutions, a Dallas-based tech consulting firm. Though he enjoyed the work and liked his clients and colleagues, he felt stifled.

Dinosaurs in the Manti Temple

A few weeks ago, I worshipped in the Manti Utah Temple for the first time. My parents were endowed, married, and sealed there, so it is a special place to me. Amidst my devotions and pondering, I was somewhat taken aback to find paintings of Mesozoic reptiles on the wall of the Creation Room. [1] In 1886-87, Carl Christian Anton Christensen (usually CCA Christensen, 1831-1912) painted a 4.9-meter-high mural stretching completely around the Creation Room of the Manti Temple. The mural shows elements of creation up to, but not including, humans. The sequence is clouds and a sphere; volcanoes and storms; sunrise, mountains, and rivers; plants; earliest animals; fowls; non-domestic animals; domestic animals; and water creatures.

In the mirror of a humble room in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, Laura Cardenas posted a note with her wish list, little objectives that would motivate her to be better. There the list stared back at her each day, posted on the mirror with tape, handwritten and without mistakes, its title: “Short term and long term goals.” Laura listed the dreams of a 19-year-old woman: “Make it on the swim team. Work really hard to pay for school … To paint the house in September. Get new chairs for the dining room. Get new shoes. Read Plato. Be nice and kind to others people.”

BYU-Utah game turned into 'Irrelevant Bowl'

Way back in ancient times (OK, 2010), BYU-Utah week was a period of fear and loathing. The block U and Brother Brigham's statue were on high security alert. Players were held up to criticism and comparison all year. Announcers and even beat writers covering the teams were subject to taunts and occasional threats. The buildup and letdown was nearly unbearable. Practically everyone involved in the game admitted that losing meant a year of abject misery. But that's not the case anymore. Look around. There's definitely interest, but you won't find nearly as many people losing sleep. There's too much territory ahead.
