| No Images? Click here   We were in Livingston, Montana, yesterday, where Curtis M. Wong met freelance writer and marketing professional Kris King. She returned to her native Montana after living in Honduras, Spain and England, plus spending what she called an “urban decade” in San Francisco.Kris, 52, was born in Bozeman but opted for neighboring Livingston when she returned to Montana in 2005. These days, she sees the town as “the best place in the U.S. to live.”“In the developed world, I believe you can measure the quality of your life based on how much time you spend looking for parking or stuck in traffic,” she said. “I was really ready to give up a good-paying job and a fantastic house in a wonderful neighborhood to not have parking or traffic be a part of my life anymore." Like many Livingston residents, Kris cites the town’s proximity to Yellowstone National Park as one of its biggest perks. She said she's extremely concerned about people who question the reality of climate change.“If the environment and global warming isn’t acknowledged … that’s going to make a huge impact on the economy,” she said. Still, she argued that politics don't divide the state as much as people might think.“In an urban environment, other people are what’s dangerous. Here, what’s dangerous is nature, and other people are your allies,” she said. “Even when I have little in common with someone politically, I feel like we are experiencing this storm together and we’ll help each other out.”  The star talked to HuffPost about his childhood, NOLA’s music scene and what the city is like after Hurricane Katrina.
 Brigham Young University, which was founded by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, recently started selling caffeinated soda for the first time in over 60 years.Many people think Mormons can’t drink caffeine at all, but that’s not true. The church said in a 2012 statement that certain items were prohibited: “alcoholic drinks, smoking or chewing of tobacco, and ‘hot drinks’ ― taught by church leaders to refer specifically to tea and coffee.”Check out how students reacted to the big change.
