    Nicholas Kristof: We humans make a lonely crowd, and it’s killing us
    London — We humans make a lonely crowd, and it’s killing us.Social isolation is more lethal than smoking 15 cigarettes a day, or than obesity, according to research published by Julianne Holt-Lunstad of Brigham Young University. Since obesity is associated in the United States with 300,000 to 600,000 deaths a year, the implication is that loneliness is a huge, if silent, killer.Loneliness increases inflammation, heart disease, dementia and death rates, researchers say — but it

The Cougars had regained possession with 28 seconds left, securing their 31-24 win over the visiting Flames, Saturday at LaVell Edwards Stadium.But as the teams finished up the post-game tradition, BYU coach Kalani Sitake noticed Liberty was getting ready to take a knee on the field.

    For the first time this season, Utah's football team stayed in place in the AP Top 25. The Utes remained No. 8 in the poll, published Sunday.The impact of Minnesota's 31-26 win over Penn State was that the Golden Gophers (No. 7) moved ahead of Utah and the Nittany Lions (No. 9) fell below the Utes. Similar moves occurred in the Coaches Poll, with Utah remaining No. 9.The AP and Coaches Polls lose some value in November, when the College Football Playoff Top 25 is released each Tuesday.

    The Primary sang in my Latter-day Saint ward a few weeks ago. As these programs tend to go, it was rather enjoyable.No kid was dragged away for misbehaving, the songs were easily recognized as hymns rather than tavern choruses bellowed by inebriated hobbits, and most of the youngsters actually participated.For those unfamiliar with Mormon doings, the Primary is the church’s program for small kids.
