BYU students win Student Gold ADDY award for funny commercial

Would a Romney defeat crush Mormon supporters?
Some Mormons have fasted and prayed for Mitt Romney. Others have donated piles of cash. And busloads have traveled to Nevada and Colorado to campaign for the Republican presidential nominee or spent hours calling potential voters. So what happens if Romney — the first Mormon heading a major-party ticket and the faith’s best shot at the White House so far — loses the Nov. 6 election?

Pres. Uchtdorf meets with President of Honduras
Just 48 hours before the dedication of his nation’s first Latter-day Saint temple, Honduran President Porfirio Lobo accepted an invitation to have breakfast with President Dieter F. Uchtdorf and other visiting Church leaders at the temple annex building. The Honduran leader must have enjoyed the company; he invited President Uchtdorf and the others to join him the next morning for breakfast at his presidential palace.
Washington Post: Romney paid 42 percent of 2011 income in taxes and charity
Mitt Romney gave a lot of money away to charity. Phil Klein explains Typically, liberal rhetoric on taxes makes it seem as if the wealthy are getting a free ride on the backs of middle and lower-income Americans who are doing all the work and are really paying the taxes. But to put things on perspective, here’s what $3.2 million in federal taxes — Romney’s estimated 2011 burden — pays for:

Hobby Lobby finds way around $1.3-million-a-day Obamacare hit
By Friday, Hobby Lobby would have racked up $14.3 million in fines from the Internal Revenue Service for bucking Obamacare. But in keeping with the great American tax tradition, they may have found a loophole. The company is facing $1.3 million a day in fines for each day it chooses not to comply with a piece of the Affordable Care Act that was set to trigger for them on January 1. The craft store chain announced in December that, because of religious objections, they would face the fines for not providing certain types of birth control through their company health insurance.
A Mormon Antidote to Dwindling Jewish Youth: More Expectations and Conversions
As someone who believes that Jews should actively proselytize to non-Jews and become as involved as possible in Jewish life, I was dismayed (though not surprised) at the results of a recent Pew Research Center survey of U.S. Jews that showed an increasing detachment of non-Orthodox Jews -- especially young Jews -- from Judaism. This does not bode well for the future of the American Jewish community, and countless commentaries on the survey’s findings have appeared recently in the Jewish press nationwide. When Jewish life is viewed through Mormon spectacles, it is hard to see how the survey could have turned out otherwise, given the relative lack of religious responsibility placed on young Jews’ shoulders.
LDS Church spokesman: Why Mormons back the new scouting policy
The dust had barely settled from the May 23 vote on the Boy Scouts of America membership policy, when the media analysis and post mortem on this iconic American institution began. Understandably, virtually all the headlines referred to the inclusion of gay scouts. The New York Times described it as a “milestone.” The Washington Post lamented that the policy still excludes gay adult leaders. Time magazine referred to “dramatic change.” And that is probably how history will record it.
