Women have "only token participation" in the church's semiannual General Conferences and "have largely been erased from our [doctrinal] manuals. They show up in the Ensign [the church's official magazine] in very limited ways," Ulrich says. "Even the Relief Society visiting teaching messages primarily quote men."
A recent churchwide publication, Daughters in My Kingdom: The History and Work of Relief Society, featured profiles and writing from earlier Mormon women, she says, "but as far as I can tell it has no acknowledged place in the curriculum."
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
This "strange, new phenomenon" of the disappearing women "is so at odds with my early experience in the church, my understanding of the gospel, and of what looks to me like simple common sense that I am simply stunned that it persists," Ulrich writes. "The sad thing is, many young women in the church have never experienced anything else."
Generational issue » Kristine Haglund, editor of Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, also worries about the impact on younger LDS women.
"The limited vision of women's roles that Mormonism imported from post-World War II American culture is unappealing and uninspiring for many young women," Haglund writes in an email. "We must articulate a Mormonism that is less about lifestyle choice and more about spiritual power and a personal relationship with God that can enlighten all the facets of the lives young women choose for themselves."
Mormon women yearn to be more useful in the faith "to bless the lives of women throughout the world, particularly in the global south," Haglund says, "and, in turn, incorporate the wisdom of women from outside of the United States into our curricula and leadership."
Women have become "the support staff for the real work of men," says LDS activist and writer Chelsea Shields Strayer, "which means we are basically working with only 50 percent of our human capital."
It is essential, says Strayer from Baltimore, "to open up new arenas for women to have stewardship, autonomy and trust their own revelation."
That might help deal with some of the LDS Church's other gender issues, she says, such as the "inappropriateness of young girls confessing sexual sins to their male bishops, all-male disciplinary councils and the lack of women's voices in religious text, curriculum and decision-making bodies."
It is time, these women say, to expand opportunities and experiences available to Mormon women.
But what about the church's 1995 family proclamation, with its detailed descriptions of men as providers and women as nurturers?
Those who have "issues with the Proclamation on the Family deserve to be heard," says Margaret Young, a BYU English professor. "The role definition in that document troubles many women. Might that be a document which could use more female input and even a rewrite, since it has not yet been declared official revelation, nor (as far as I know) has yet had female input?"
Young says in her own moments of trouble, she turns to other women.
"I have lunch with other mothers who are meeting great challenges in their parenting, and we comfort and support one another," she says. "I would like to feel that same sense in General Conference — and from a woman's voice."
Young sees a powerful sense of male/female equality in LDS temple rituals.
"Because I am an ordinance worker, I do many things with authority in the temple," she says. "I believe that I hold the priesthood jointly with my husband and would like to be considered his equal in blessing our children when they're ill or needing comfort. That simply feels right to me, that we, as parents, lay our hands on our children's heads."
Plus, Young would like to follow the example of her female progenitors — blessing daughters before they give birth.
"There is something beautiful," she says, "about a woman blessing the one whom she herself delivered before."
In the current system, though, could anyone do that without priesthood power?

Pochettino must get Tottenham playing in his own vision
Relief was the overriding emotion following Tottenham's 1-1 draw at Arsenal on Saturday. Relief at not being embarrassed in the north London derby. Relief that a fragile team had finally shown a bit of backbone. Relief that last weekend's gutless home defeat to West Brom had been put to bed. Relief at taking an away point from a Champions League side. Come the final whistle many were celebrating the result as if it were a victory.

A gunman shot and killed an 18-year-old Morgan Park man whose pants apparently slipped down and slowed his attempt to flee.
Stephon Wright, of the 10800 block of South Racine, was sitting in a parked vehicle with two females in the 10400 block of South Green when a man in a passing car opened fire on the group about 8 p.m., authorities said.
After the initial blast of gunfire, the gunman exited his car and Wright and the two women ran in different directions, police said.
As Wright tried to run, his pants slipped down, according to a source. He was shot in the leg and collapsed to the ground as he wrestled with his pants, the source said. The gunman then shot Wright in the head before fleeing, according to the source.
Wright was taken to Roseland Community Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 8:30 p.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
Nobody else was injured in the shooting.
No one was in custody Tuesday morning as Area South detectives investigated.

Police in Atlanta say they are on the hunt for over a dozen thieves after they allegedly broke into a Foot Locker store early on Monday morning.
Investigators say the 15 thieves who smashed through the windows of a southwest Atlanta Foot Locker left a pile of debris. Police say the burglars ran into the shoe store on Metropolitan Parkway after crashing a stolen vehicle through the front of the business around 3 a.m."They rammed the car all the way through the window. Like, wow," said Brayfus Renfroe, a barber who works next door to the Foot Locker store.He says because of break-ins like the one at the Foot Locker, his business is moving next week to a safer location. Customers who came to shop on Monday were told they would have to wait. A massive clean-up remained to be done to windows, the brick wall of the structure and the framing.
A customer of the business, Bernice Sellers, says the break-in makes her sad."It made me really upset. To know you work real hard for your businesses and help customers and then you wake up in the morning and see something messed up," said Sellers.The owner says the burglars stole shoes and clothing before making their getaway, and it's the second time one of his stores has been hit by thieves. The case remains under investigation.

- deliciously bittersweetSamanthaDined on 6/10/2014We took our 18 year old son to Rendesvous to celebrate his HS graduation. I wanted him to have a special memory of a special event at a legendary place. Thanks Steve and your wonderful team for all of the care, skill, inventiveness and exquisite culinary moments. We wanted to be sure that it was in our collective family memory. I always have a craving for the Vegetable antipasto with roasted eggplant purée and muhummara, which is like a little jeweled garden, and we all ordered the peppered sirloin steak with garlic butter, horseradish mashed potatoes. That little kick of horseradish is fantastic, does not overwhelm, but weaves a divine note into the matrix of the meal. Thanks for years of delicious memories.Special Features:
- DisappointinglovefoodDined on 6/10/2014Had a great meal first visit to Rendevous but second visit was a big letdown. Ordered braised pork and veal meatballs. Expected two types of meat. Instead what that means is you get four tiny veal and pork meatballs in a soup dish with broth and scalloped potatoes. It looked worse than it tasted but it didn't taste great. Service was awful. Waitress disappeared for long stretches. Could not get her attention for a glass of wine. Wife's steak was tasty but chewy and fatty. Unlikely to return.
- What's the point?LouisDined on 6/9/2014This has been a great run for Rendezvous. Been here many times. Always easy ambience for conversation and delicious food too. Will be sad to see it close....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great restaurantHumphreyDined on 6/5/2014This is one of the best restaurants that I have ever been. The meat was absolutely great well presented and good to eat. The restaurant used to be a Burger King and is now so far removed from this that you have no idea of its previous life. This restaurant is well worth a visit but really you should become one of the 'locals"Special Features:

- Perfect for ConversationBoringGuyDined on 6/1/2014I love Rendezvous for the great food, attentive service, and friendly ambiance. Even when the tables are full, the noise level is reasonable for a conversation.Special Features:
- Even better than expected.luluDined on 5/31/2014My husband and I came here for a 10 pm post-theater supper. It was still lively, but not crowded. We considered ordering just appetizers as a sort of tapas meal because the offering on the menu looked so fabulous,, but we decided on 2 - the "mini-ravioli" - a lovely plate, just a delight in every bite, and also the tuna crudo which melted in your mouth. Then we went for the halibut entree and he veal and pork meatballs which were both also delicious. the broth with the meatballs was notable. I think that our favorite however, was the lemon buttermilk pudding with huckleberry sauce for dessert. WOW - I would go there again just to have that. Well, I would go there again, period.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistent ExcellenceOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 5/31/2014I can't say enough good things about the Rendezvous in Central Square. The menu changes seasonally, but they always keep the crowd favorites. From appetizer through dessert, there's no better restaurant in the area. The service is also stellar.Special Features:
- Renezvous ReviewHAL314Dined on 5/31/2014We ordered meatballs with orchiette pasta and halibut entrees. Both were excellent. Very well prepared with balanced flavors. My only criticism is that they were a little luke warm when served.Special Features:

- Hold the salt!TwiceDined on 5/30/2014This was our second visit. Our first dinner was good enough for a second try. Alas, it didn't come close to our first visit. The crab appetizer was really good but the meatball dish with charred orichetti was almost too salty to eat. We had fine wait service and the Austrian white wine was very good. The dessert crostada didn't quite work either.Special Features:

- Once again, deliciousMarsVIPDined on 5/25/2014The 4 of us all ordered the fixed price menu - Three of us ordered the very tasty asparagus salad to start, and the 4th devoured his sardines. Then for dinner there were 2 lambs (delectable), one fisherman stew (yummy) and one chicken (just great). Dessert was also good. What else can I say - another fine dining experience. This place will be sorely missed!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

For ourt last meal there I had SDunday night, $38 prix fix of cauliflower bucatini, fisherman's stew and cherry crostada. All were excellent. My wife chose the simple salad and Morocan chicken. Her choices were just ok.Special Features:
- Pre-theater dinnernickVIPDined on 5/17/2014Convenient to the theater in Central Square, Cambridge, the pris fixe menu is a good value. Food is nicely prepared and the service very good. The wine list needs a few more moderately priced bottles and has to include the list of wines by the glass, two things missing.Special Features:

- Good food, bad reservation policyFoodforethoughtDined on 5/13/2014I had the skate and it was absolutely delicious. The service was friendly and timely. However, they took half an hour to seat us even though we made a reservation. When I told the hostess we'd been waiting for a half hour, she said, "well, 28 minutes." This is not the first time I've had a problem getting seated at rendezvous. Another time I called and made a reservation for that night, but when I got there they said they'd given my table away to another person by the same name and that there was no longer a table for me. Great restaurant, if you ever get seated...Special Features:

The staff is skilled, personable and discreet. For all of these reasons, we will miss Rendezvous when it closes in June.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our second time at RendezvousRosebudVIPDined on 5/6/2014I love this restaurant in the heart of Central Square....we live in Canton and aren't often in Cambridge but this will be our go to place from now on when we are in the neighborhood. Lovely dinner of lemony poached salmon - great Boston lettuce salad lightly dressed (my husband had 1/2 dozen oysters) and wonderful warm chocolate cake for dessert which we shared. Good wine list - server was attentive but not overbearing. Lovely atmosphere. Medium priced - the whole bill came to $135 but we each had two glasses of wine. It was a good night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

TEAMS: Dallas Mavericks
Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma doesn't think much of Mark Cuban's notion of drafting Brittney Griner into the NBA. Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, said Tuesday night that he would consider drafting Griner, the 6-foot-8 senior standout for Baylor whose career ended over the weekend when the Lady Bears lost in the NCAA tournament. Cuban told reporters that if Griner is the best player available, ''I will take her.'' ''Right now, I'd lean toward yes, just to see if she can do it,'' he said. ''You never know unless you give somebody a chance.'' Griner responded with a tweet: ''I would hold my own! Lets do it'' Auriemma said Wednesday that Cuban is a financial genius, but ''his genius would take a huge hit if he drafted Brittney Griner.'' ''I think it would be a sham,'' he said. ''The fact that a woman could actually play right now in the NBA and compete su...

The O'Briens have lived on the river for a long time.
They moved into their home on the banks of the Wapsipinicon River in Independence in 1962.
"We got married and have been here ever since," O'Brien said.
So they're no strangers to the river's seasonal creep into their back yard. But even though they're used to, the prospect of packing up isn't too appealing.
"Everybody gets stressed," he said. "Nerve wracking, I guess you call it ... you think about how much stuff you'll have to move, which is terrible when you start loading everything up and find everyone to help you."
He said they've left for flooding twice, but now, he doesn't sweat these smaller swells.
And many of his neighbors think he can predict the rise better than anyone else.
"I know it!" he laughed. "Everybody always come to me and says, 'what's the river going to do?'"
Still, he's thankful the water won't reach his house this year.
"Good Lord was good to us," he said.

GATLINBURG (WATE) - Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam and North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory announced Tuesday an agreement was reached to reopen the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The park will open at 8 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 16 and will remain open until 11:59 p.m. Sunday Oct. 20, unless the government shutdown ends during that time.
The national park costs $60,100 to operate per day, according to the National Park Service. It will take $300,500 to keep the park open for five days.
The state will cover 80 percent of the cost in the form of a $240,400 tourism grant to Sevier County, with Sevier and Blount counties funding the remaining amount.
North Carolina's governor says his state will spend $75,000 to open its side of the park.
Tennessee Rep. Dale Carr, who represents Sevier County, says a lot of people have been losing money while the park has been closed.
"We are losing over $3.1 million a day because of the park's closing," said Carr, "That is astronomical. People are losing money left and right."
Carr says the park should have never been closed in the first place.
"The parks are ours, really, if you look at," he said. "They are supposed to be ours and we need to keep them open."
The news spread fast about the park reopening.
Donald and Carol Michael, of Chattanooga, were visiting Townsend Tuesday. They had been waiting all week to hike in the national park.
"It is good," said Donald Michael. "We have been up here all week anticipating when they may open up before we had to leave."
"We'll definitely go in the park tomorrow," said Carol Michael, "Rain or shine."
Business owners in Townsend were also excited about the park reopening.
"We are very excited," said Apple Valley Country Stores employee Lisa Dennis. "Although we've been pleasantly surprised with the traffic we have had it's been down."
Park Employees Ready the Park
GSMNP spokesperson Dana Soehn didn't waste any time before diving back into work after being furloughed for two weeks.
"We are thrilled to be coming back to work, we've been on the phones as soon as we got the word, notifying those 279 employees that have been on furlough to report to work tomorrow morning," explained Soehn.
The gates will open at 8 a.m. and the signs will come down.
"We're going to be very expedient about opening this park, we want to have the gates open as early as possible, the visitor's centers will open at 8 a.m. just like they do routinely and we hope to have all the areas of the park open by noon, even those remote areas," she said.
The park, along with the rest of the country's national parks, was closed October 1 when Congress failed to pass a funding bill, leading to a partial government shutdown.
The federal government agreed last week to allow states to reopen national parks, paying for the operating costs themselves.
Bills proposed in the U.S. House and Senate would reimburse states within 90 days for costs associated with reopening the parks.

Why is it important to maintain the new farm law
Ross Rutherford
So much work goes into any Farm Bill, and once you have it in place, you need stability. That is what farmers want. When our customers make equipment purchases, they want to have stability in a Farm Bill so that they can make sound decisions. The government doesn't need to be messing around with this law, because it was approved in Congress in a bi-partisan manner. This law needs to remain in place.
I talk to farmers all over the country from California to the Carolinas, and they consider the Farm Bill to be a true safety net. When you start messing with this law after it's been passed, it disrupts a farmer's plans. The producer's livelihood depends on being able to make decisions based on that law. I'd like to think we have friends in Congress who won't allow these changes to occur.
One of the great things about the United States is contractual integrity. The Farm Bill is essentially a contract between our farmers and the government. If the government doesn't honor the contract that it already has passed, what does that say to the food and fiber producers of this country? It took two years for Congress to come up with this bi-partisan legislation, and it certainly isn't in the farmer's interest to start changing it now. If the law is changed, uncertainty will further complicate farmers' decisions for the future, and that's not good for anyone. Let's hope Congress doesn't allow this to happen.
Many people worked so hard to bring the current Farm Bill to fruition. Farmers have made their plans, figuring this is the program we would be working with. To start making changes in a law that we thought was in place just doesn't make any sense. I would hate to see anybody start fooling with this bill. Our friends in Washington who understand the Farm Bill will hopefully stand with agriculture and not allow any changes in the law.
Our company certainly stands alongside the producer in the hope that no changes will be made in the new farm law. We feel that it would be very difficult for producers to change plans in mid-stream. They have based their decisions on a law that Congress has already passed. To change the game now would be very difficult for them to adjust to at this point in time. My hope is that the new farm law will be implemented as Congress intended. And I also hope ag's friends in Congress will pull together and keep this law intact.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) -- The Confederation of African Football cleared Burkina Faso's Jonathan Pitroipa to play in the African Cup of Nations final against Nigeria after suspended referee Slim Jdidi admitted he made a mistake to send the forward off for diving.
CAF's disciplinary board agreed on Friday with a recommendation from the body's refereeing committee that Pitroipa should not have been shown a second yellow card for simulation in the semifinal win over Ghana.
After a protest by the Burkina Faso team, CAF rescinded the red card and allowed the Rennes forward to play in Burkina Faso's biggest ever game. It's the West African country's first major final.
"The disciplinary board decided to validate the recommendation of the CAF refereeing committee and to cancel the second yellow card given to player No. 11 of Burkina Faso," CAF said in its statement Friday night. "Consequently, player No.11 Jonathan Pitroipa of Burkina Faso is eligible for the final."
CAF was unable to change the decision of Jdidi, who penalized Pitroipa for diving when in fact he was fouled, until the Tunisian referee conceded he had made an error. CAF said Jdidi conceded the mistake in an additional report after the semifinal, when he was also roundly criticized for a poor refereeing performance and suspended by CAF.
Jdidi denied Burkina Faso two penalties at Nelspruit's Mbombela Stadium, the second when he sent Pitroipa off for diving. He also disallowed a Burkina Faso goal and awarded Ghana a soft penalty.
Burkina Faso still won the game on a penalty shootout to reach the final at Soccer City.
CAF said the decision to overturn Pitroipa's red card and automatic suspension was valid according to its rules governing referee decisions, which allows it to rectify "obvious errors in disciplinary decisions based on referees' reports."
Pitroipa's presence will be valuable to Burkina Faso in its attempt to win a first African title as the team's leading scorer at this tournament, Alain Traore of France's Lorient, will miss the final with an injury.
CAF did not clarify how long Jdidi would be suspended for.

Linux Conquers the Canaries
The Canary Isles now rely almost entirely on Linux in education.
Many Canaries' schools and the major universities all use Kubuntu – a derivate of Ubuntu which uses the KDE desktop. According to the project manager the schools are using Meduxa, which is based on Kubuntu (Breezy Badger), KDE 3.5.6 and a selection of educational software including vocabulary trainers, astronomy software and calculation tools. Canaries' universities use Bardinux, derivative of Kubuntu Feisty Fawn with various add-on packages from various fields of science.
Thus far, 300 schools have deployed Linux, with another 100 to follow by the end of the year. All told, 8000 computers will be running the free operating system on the islands. All 1100 state schools will be moving to the Meduxa operating system by the first half of 2009.

Because many the Kqed wine club spanish language language dishes weight too much, wealthy, salty in addition to oily, they often times pair well with sparkling Champagnes like the Italian Cava or Portuguese Espumante. It may be wise to get a rose or possibly an Australian Shiraz burgandy or merlot wine. Ideally, pair a far more satisfying wine to cancel out the foods spiciness and saltiness. Lighter wines such as these will complement most The the spanish language language tastes nicely and won't overpower. Another strategy is to pair wine while using sauce, not the foods itself. Sauces with eco-friendly chiles match white-colored wine, red-colored-colored chiles match burgandy or merlot wine, and tomato-based sauces pair well with Italian yellows.
Wine and food combinations for Kqed wine club French dishes
Much French foods tend to be heavy, and pairs well with heavier wines particularly yellows. You'll find, however, exceptions. A German wine like Gewürztraminer pairs well with ocean food, together with a French Muscadet or dry Riesling. A dry white-colored wine also goes well with cheese fondue, in the event that suddenly is actually inside your hors doeuvres menu. A simple burgandy or merlot wine like Beaujolais pairs well with chicken and heartier red-colored-colored wines like Bourgogne pairs well with red-colored-colored meat or wild game dishes. Strong burgandy or merlot wine pairs well with dishes heavy round the cheese. Another French favorite chocolate dessert pairs well getting a port wine. Frequently, a vino is used becoming an component in French cooking, specifically when permitting the sauce. An excellent guideline is always to also serve that wine while using dish for continuity of flavor.
Wine and food combinations Kqed wine club for Asian dishes
This is often a harder category, because tasty elements like soy sauce, ginger root root, curry, cumin extremely popular in Asian dishes can absolutely ruin the flavour from the good wine. When pairing wine with Asian dishes, think highly acidic, fruity and aromatic. California as well as wine regions produce some nice options, like Zinfandels, Syrahs, Pinot Gris. An Australian Shiraz generally is a good choice, as they are the German Gewürztraminer as well as the rose.
Wine and food Kqed wine club combinations for Greek dishes
Once more, it's all about analyzing the foods then offsetting that character by getting a contrary-flavored wine. Greek meals are generally acidic, so more satisfying, much much softer wine typically pairs well with this particular. Consider serving a rose, a white-colored wine like Fume Blanc, or possibly a burgandy or merlot wine like Syrah, a.k.a. Shiraz.
Wine and food combinations Kqed wine club for Italian dishes
Much like French cuisine, wine is an additional common component in Italian dishes. Consider this when identifying items to serve for flavor continuity, it's smart to supply the one thing which was found in the recipe. Merlot can be a medium-bodied red-colored-colored with hints of berry, and pairs well with Italian chicken dishes. Italian red-colored-colored meat dishes pair well while using heavier Cabernet wine wine Sauvignon, and Chardonnay goes well with pork dishes.

News Release

New KSP Training Program Targets Teen Driving Skills
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) -Twenty-three students representing 21 high schools throughout the commonwealth will check into the Kentucky State Police Academy in Frankfort on Monday Sept. 15 between 9:00 and 9:30 a.m. for five days of classroom and hands-on driving instruction designed to decrease teenage driving deaths. Classes will begin at 10:00 a.m.
The students will be participating in the "Drive To Stay Alive" program, an innovative effort by the Kentucky State Police that targets counties with high teen traffic crash and fatality rates.
"Tragically, in 2002, there were 29,893 motor vehicle collisions involving drivers aged 16-18 in Kentucky," says KSP Commissioner Patrick N. Simpson. "This represents 21 percent of all collisions in the state during this time period. The "Drive To Stay Alive" program is specifically designed to have an impact on this problem."
During the week of training, the students will be taught by Kentucky State Police-certified driving instructors to help recognize the most common factors leading to fatal crashes. The curriculum features topics such as vehicle dynamics and skid control, safety belts and airbags, impaired driving, off-road recovery, evasive maneuver, controlled braking, multiple turns and lane interchange. It also includes three days of hands-on instruction in actual motor vehicle skills at the Kentucky Speedway in Sparta.
NASCAR Busch Series driver Jamie Mosley, a London, Ky. native, will join the students, instructors, KSP representatives and track officials for a press conference at the 1.5-mile, tri-oval speedway on Tuesday, Sept. 16 at 9:00 a.m.
According to Lt. Col. Rodney Brewer, Commander of the KSP Division of Police Services, the real benefits of the program begin after the students complete the course and return to their individual schools. "The students will partner with an experienced Kentucky State Police trooper to spread the message to the student body in each school," he notes. "The real value of the program is based on the concept that a message conveyed by a fellow student carries a more personal tone with other students and is therefore more effective."
The students selected for the program represent schools located in Anderson, Bourbon, Boyd, Bullitt, Calloway, Carroll, Clay, Hardin, Henry, Knox, Madison, Monroe, Montgomery, Perry, Pike, Scott, Taylor Trimble, and Wayne counties.
Brewer pointed out that 19 percent of all fatal collisions in the state during 2002 involved teenage drivers and 58.1 percent of the teenage highway fatalities in the counties targeted for the Drive to Stay Alive program were not restrained.
"This program provides practical instruction that will enhance the skills and sensitivities of Kentucky's teen drivers," Brewer says. "Once it spreads throughout the school system, the benefits should certainly pay off in reduced teen crashes and more lives saved."

Does the Roberts Court Have a Pro-Church Bias? How They're Undermining the Separation of Church and State
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Separation of Church and State was one of the fundamental principles undergirding the new nation envisioned by the framers of the U.S. Constitution. Neither "God" nor any synonym for it appears anywhere in the Constitution. Article VI forbids any religious test "as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." And even before granting the freedoms of speech, the press, assembly, and petition, the First Amendment states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Taken together, the "Establishment Clause" and the "Free Exercise Clause" of the First Amendment impose a delicate, dual obligation upon government, under which Congress can neither empower religion nor restrict it. But now this cornerstone of American government is under siege, its foundation threatened by an agenda-driven Supreme Court.
The Establishment Clause
The phrase "separation of church and state" derives from a letter by President Jefferson in 1802 where he wrote: "Erecting the wall of separation between church and state…is absolutely essential in a free society." The wellspring of American anti-establishment thinking, however, was Jefferson's successor, James Madison—the principal drafter of the Bill of Rights. He believed the attempt to "employ religion as an engine of good citizenship" to be "an unhallowed perversion of the means of salvation."
With Madison's writings as its polestar, the Supreme Court has long interpreted the Establishment Clause as barring laws that favor one religion over another, or even religion in general over secularism. Government cannot declare any single religion to be the "true" religion; it cannot cede civil power to religious bodies; it cannot fund religious education directly or discriminate between religions in the distribution of funds. The Court has overturned numerous laws that violate the Establishment Clause, like those mandating bible reading, prayer, or the teaching of creationism in public schools. So important is the Clause that in the landmark 1986 case Flast v. Cohen , the Warren Court facilitated its enforcement with a remarkable and unique sanction: it ruled that every taxpayer has legal standing to challenge, as a violation of the Establishment Clause, the appropriation of congressional funds to finance religious instruction in schools.
At other times, however, the Court has shown timidity in applying the Establishment Clause. In the 2004 Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow case, for example, the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance commonly recited in public schools violated the Clause. On appeal, the Supreme Court reversed the Ninth Circuit on purely procedural grounds. Michael Newdow, a California attorney and emergency medicine physician, had brought the suit on his daughter's behalf. The Supreme Court held that because Newdow's wife had primary custody of his daughter, he therefore lacked standing to sue by himself. The Court never considered the constitutional issue at all.
The "No Agenda" Roberts Court
No such timidity inhibits the Roberts Court. Its rulings suggest a "pro-church" bias, and have enfeebled and muddied the meaning of the Establishment Clause. In the 2007 Hein v. Freedom from Religion Foundation case, the Court denied the taxpayer's right to challenge government expenditures funding the Bush administration's "faith-based initiatives." In the 2011 Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization v. Winn case, the Court similarly denied Arizona taxpayers the right to challenge, under the Establishment Clause, tax credits for tuition payments to a parochial school. Both cases were 5–4 split decisions. In both cases, the Flast precedent granting taxpayer standing to sue was marginalized and implicitly overturned.
In its Hein decision, the Court didn't expressly overturn Flast, but instead held that the precedent didn't apply because the challenged expenditure was by the executive branch rather than Congress. Only Congress, Alito wrote in his plurality decision, is constrained by the Establishment Clause. (Never mind that the executive branch is funded by Congress!) Justices Scalia and Thomas concurred with Alito's opinion, but criticized it for creating "utterly meaningless distinctions" between executive and legislative expenditures. Instead, Scalia and Thomas favored overturning the Flastprecedent outright.

What Happens When A Homeless Couple Finds $10,000 - And Gives It Back
In São Paulo, from under a bridge to under the spotlight for an act of extreme (good 'ol fashioned) honesty.
SAO PAULO - In less than 24 hours, a homeless couple living under a bridge in São Paulo saw their lives turn upside down. They found 20,000 Brazilian reals ($10,000) that had been stolen from a sushi restaurant, returned the full amount to the police and were broadcast across several national TV channels as an example of honesty.
But there was more. They met the owners of the money, were threatened by the thieves and managed to get temporary housing and job offers. There was even an invitation for one to go back to Maranhão, in the north of Brazil, to be reunited with familly members he hadn't seen in years.
This whirlwind turnaround in the lives of Rejaniel de Jesus Silva Santos, 36, and Sandra Regina Domingues, who does not know her age, started last Sunday, around 3:30 AM, when they were awoken by the sound of a restaurant's alarm ringing.
They got up and went to check out what was going on. While they were walking, Santos found two bags under a tree next to a bus stop. There were bills, coins and credit card receipts.
The first thing I thought about was telling the police," said Santos.
Through the credit cards receipts, the police identified Hokkai Sushi. The restaurants window was broken and all the cash had been stolen. Police believes the money was left under the tree because there were officers in the vicinity, and the criminals thought they come back later to pick it up.
The next morning, the owners of the restaurant went to the police station, met the two homeless heros and got their money back. "We are very thankful. This is an act of extreme honesty and humility," said Daniel Uemura, 23, one of the restaurant's owners.
The restaurant offered two options for the couple. A qualification course to work within their company (besides restaurants, they own fish shops and fish distribution companies). The other one are two tickets to move back to Maranhão, where Santos family liveshe hasn't seen his relatives for 16 years.
Love on the streets
The only ugly postscript came courtesy of the original bad guys: the couple was threatened by the thieves who robbed Hokkai Sushi. To make sure they are safe, the restaurant owners has put them up in a local hotel.
Santos came to São Paulo to work with his brother as a construction worker. He got married and had one son, with whom he has lost contact.
After divorcing, Santos lost his job and his home and wound up on the streets -- that's where he met his current partner, Sandra. They have been living together for four months ago.
"I was taught by my mom not to steal and, if I was ever to see anybody stealing, to tell the police," Santos said. "If she sees me on TV in Maranhão, she will see her son is a honest person."

Save in my calendar keep abandon print
Film by Richard Oswald (Germany, 1933)
Joseph Schmidt (1904–1942) had a successful yet brief career – despite his small stature – though more as a radio, recording and film artist than in the opera house and concert hall. Born and bred in Bukovina, he was a singer and then a cantor in the synagogue in Chernivtsi. His talent was quickly recognised. He was discovered by the Dutch baritone Cornelis Bronsgeest, who was director of Berliner Rundfunk at the time, when he was performing in Berlin. From 1929, Schmidt's fame quickly grew through radio and records.
As a Jew, he was banned from performing in Germany after the Nazis seized power. He performed abroad and found a temporary home in Paris. In 1940, he attempted unsuccessfully to emigrate to the USA, then fled to Switzerland. There he was interned in a refugee camp, where he died. "Just as Caruso made records popular, and in turn was made popular by records, Schmidt sought out an imaginary stage in the studio – and millions could not only hear him, but felt him, loved him, suffered with him.
The fact that the singer's tragic fate could well be a sentimental screenplay for film and radio programmes, is thanks to the expressive quality of the voice itself, an expressive quality that we know from Caruso's late recordings, or from the records of the English alto Kathleen Ferrier." (Jürgen Kesting, Die Großen Sänger). Ein Lied geht um die Welt was Joseph Schmidt's most famous (non-Classical) song; the film, remade in English as My Song Goes Round the World, draws freely on the singer's life story.
