  23-11-2019 23:22
  
  Amherst, Mass. • If there was any doubt if Zach Wilson was back last week, after returning from an early-season thumb fracture, there isn’t now.Wilson looked a bit rusty against Idaho State in his first game in six weeks.

  Election Day, 2020. The polls have just closed. All indications point to a resounding verdict. Historians, loath to make narrative sense of an age without waiting for the vapors of passion to pass, agree on one thing.It was, they say, Nov. 20, 2019, that ensured the outcome — a day and a night that crystallized the choice for the majority of Americans ready to toss Donald Trump from office.The impeachment hearings had been bumping along, the main story clear: a parade of impeccable public

  Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States, posing a national health crisis. Here in Utah, more than 200,000 people have diabetes and another 600,000 have pre-diabetes — meaning they may be on the path to developing diabetes. Sadly, of those with pre-diabetes, 90 percent don’t know they have it. One of the keys in dealing with the diabetes crisis is early diagnosis and education. The good news is we have begun to take steps in this direction.Ta
