My brother got a DUI. I need advice from those with "experience"...
My brother spent 14 hours in the county drunk tank last night. He allegedly swerved, was pulled over by highway patrol, passed his field test and proceeded to blow something high (perhaps a 0.2? He can't remember). He's guilty, he messed up big time, he could have hurt himself or the innocent and he deserves whatever's coming to him. I hope that covers the requisite judgement etc.
Does anyone have any advice on what to do/expect? He's in CA. His funds are limited so no DUI lawyer. Who has experience with DUIs?
Thanks all!
I do! I always laugh at that quote.... "A man who represents himself, has a fool for a lawyer" or however it goes.... But any who, because he blew so high, and probably told the police everything at the police station, have him go to the first court date, and plead not guilty, so that he can look over exactly what they are charging him with, with some time and peace. Then, when the second date arrives, if the charges seem legit and he knows he is responsible for those charges (not some other crazy charges they sometimes add to reem you) then go to the court date as determined, plead guilty, and get what you deserve. Jail is not that bad, the money they take from you is however, but then again he deserves it. A lawyer in a case like this is only going to take 5 grand and your bro will be left with the same charges. I received a DUI 2 months after I turned 21, best thing that ever happened to me, couldn't imagine hurting my family or some innocent one's now. I was so f**kin dumb.....
Start going to some AA meetings, that will at least show you are looking for Help. I would guess if this is your first time and the counselor doesn't see you needing any extra help you may not get jail time but a hefty fine up to $1200-1500 plus have to attend a few AA meetings and meet with a court appointed counselor until they feel you are OK.
Wear some nice cloths , get a nice haircut, don't be a dick to the judge or you will get screwed.
and next time you see him, punch him in the ear. and hard.
As for the DUI, I was charged with one once. I hired a lawyer that cost me $3000 dollars and did absolutely nothing but keep extending the trial date.* We live in the 21st century--your brothers arrest was caught on multiple cameras and microphones. The best thing he can do, IMO, is to just be humble, admit guilt, and take what he deserves. He will be fined out the ass and might have to do a week in county, but that's not a big deal. He WILL lose his license but can get work priveleges. All in all the first DUI isn't bad. I've been through worse.
*side story: ironically, during the time he kept extending the date, the cop who arrested me was fired for police brutality. Thus, he couldn't show up to testify against me and I was let go. Then, even more ironically, the DUI lawyer later lost his license, and was sent to jail, for scamming his clients. Isn't life grand?
It sounds like Cathedral beat the charge because his attorney kept delaying. So instead of having a conviction on his record like he would have if he followed his own advice, he beat the rap.
Find a lawyer he can afford or at least get a public defender. Cannot represent yourself. He could be looking at severe fines, loss of license, jail time, etc.
I agree going to AA meetings is a good step in the right direction, the fact that there wasn't an accident is semi-mitigating, and I think he should offer to have an Interlock Ignition Device at his hearing but it may be required anyway so it wouldn't make a difference.
this site has some very basic information and potential lawyer contact
Every state is different in terms of what having lawyer can and can't do, but you really should convince your brother to at least sit down with a DUI lawyer and discuss his options. In the long run, begging for or borrowing the cash for lawyer may pay off.
Attorney. Seriously. If he had limited funds, work out a loan or a payment plan. DUI attorneys do this all day, every day. They know the arguments to get you less punishment, they know the prosecutors and can work out better deals, they know how to cross examine police and exclude improper evidence.
Your brother is guilty and deserves punishment, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't get the best deal he can. Consider the attorney fees pay of hits penance.

RICHARDSVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The body of a southern Kentucky woman who disappeared after going over the Greencastle Dam in a small motorboat has been found.
Warren County Rescue Department spokeswoman Deborah Williams says the remains of 39-year-old Melissa Trent were found Friday evening and later identified by her father.
Trent was reported missing April 21 to the Warren County Sheriff's Office after being last seen in a small boat near the dam, just before the watercraft topped the dam and capsized in Barren River.
The Daily News reported (http://bit.ly/1fBhzli ) that the other person in the boat, 47-year-old Robert Lynn Tanner, made it to shore and was later arrested on outstanding warrants.
High water levels on the Barren River hindered search efforts.
"It's excruciating to the family when they know their loved one is missing, and it takes days and days to find them," Williams said. "It's not a pleasant experience, but it's something we have experienced before."
Trent has three teenage children — twin 17-year-old daughters and a son who is 14.
Trent's older sister, LeAnn Boyd, said the family often camped when they were little kids. Her brother, Jimmy Keown, said the rescue squad did all it could to find Trent.
"That gave us a little bit of comfort knowing someone was looking for her. We just appreciate every single one of them for looking for her," he said.

Lupita Nyong'o on Oscars Look: "Mum's the Word"
She's been one to watch all throughout awards season and Lupita Nyong'o recently teased what she'll be wearing at the Academy Awards on Sunday (March 2).
Having already rocked Dior, Gucci, and Ralph Lauren, the "12 Years a Slave" breakout isn't giving away too much about her choice.
When asked on Monday's "Good Morning America," the 30-year-old star replied, "Mum's the word."
However, in a recent interview with The Daily Beast, she hinted, "I love color and gravitate towards solid block colors. I like clean lines and a classic look, but I also like to have a sense of humor and wear things that put a smile on my face."

Serbian cave produces oldest human ancestor in this part of Europetags: Europe, Serbia, fossil, Neanderthal
A fragment of lower jaw recovered from a Serbian cave has now been dated as the oldest hominin ancestor found in this part of Europe. The fossil was dated to between 397,000 and 525,000 years old, a time when distinctly Neanderthal traits began to appear in Europe. The evolution of these traits was strongly influenced by periodic isolation of groups of individuals, caused by glacial episodes.
According to research published in February 2012 in the open access journal PLoS ONE, the individual probably evolved under different conditions than populations who inhabited more western parts of the continent during the same time frame....

text: LINCOLN -- The Nebraska State College board of trustees is asking a judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the mother of a Peru State College student who disappeared nearly three years ago. Attorneys filed the motion in the lawsuit filed by LaTanya Thomas. She alleges that the college and other officials failed to protect her daughter, Tyler Thomas, from fellow student Joshua Keadle. He's in prison for sexual assault in a separate case. LaTanya Thomas alleges that Keadle murdered her daughter in December 2010. The girl's body has never been found. Authorities believe Keadle was the last person to see Tyler Thomas alive. A judge previously signed an order dismissing Peru State College, the state of Nebraska, and local officials as defendants in the lawsuit.

Borders and economic growth: The case of Sabah and her neighbours
AbstractDisparity in income across states and regions in Malaysia continues to be a matter of concern. The purpose of the present study is to investigate empirically the question of whether the economic development of the state of Sabah has an impact on her neighbouring countries or vice versa, the growth of her neighbouring countries have causal effect on the growth of the state of Sabah. Using annual data for the period 1983 to 2003, our results from employing the ARDL bounds testing approach indicate that the growth of the state of Sabah is affected by the growth of Brunei Darussalam, Sarawak, and Kalimantan Timur. Further, the growth of the state of Sabah has an impact on her neighbouring states, country and provinces during the period under study.

Hijacking, Hold-Up, and International Trade
AbstractInsecurity impedes trade. Using a variant of the gravity model (the workhorse of empirical international economics) Anderson and Marcouiller (1999) showed that transparent government policies and enforceable commercial contracts significantly reduce trade costs and increase trade volume. This paper asks two further questions. Does insecurity impede some types of trade more than others? Do different dimensions of insecurity affect different types of trade differently?

Hardware will never be more valuable than on the day it hits your loading dock. Each day new servers are not deployed to production the business is losing money. While Moore's Law is typically cited to explain the exponential density growth of chips, a critical consequence of this is rapid depreciation of servers. The hardware for clustered systems (e.g., Hadoop, OpenStack) tends to be significant capital expenses. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mason Katz, CTO and co-founder of StackIQ, to discuss how infrastructure teams should be aware of the capitalization and depreciation model of these expenses to fully understand when and where automation is critical.

Over the last few years the healthcare ecosystem has revolved around innovations in Electronic Health Record (HER) based systems. This evolution has helped us achieve much desired interoperability. Now the focus is shifting to other equally important aspects – scalability and performance. While applying cloud computing environments to the EHR systems, a special consideration needs to be given to the cloud enablement of Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA), i.e., the largest single medical system in the United States.

Most of today's hardware manufacturers are building servers with at least one SATA Port, but not every systems engineer utilizes them. This is considered a loss in the game of maximizing potential storage space in a fixed unit. The SATADOM Series was created by Innodisk as a high-performance, small form factor boot drive with low power consumption to be plugged into the unused SATA port on your server board as an alternative to hard drive or USB boot-up. Built for 1U systems, this powerful device is smaller than a one dollar coin, and frees up otherwise dead space on your motherboard. To meet the requirements of tomorrow's cloud hardware, Innodisk invested internal R&D resources to develop our SATA III series of products. The SATA III SATADOM boasts 500/180MBs R/W Speeds respectively, or double R/W Speed of SATA II products.

Enterprises require the performance, agility and on-demand access of the public cloud, and the management, security and compatibility of the private cloud. The solution? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Simone Brunozzi, VP and Chief Technologist(global role) for VMware, will explore how to unlock the power of the hybrid cloud and the steps to get there. He'll discuss the challenges that conventional approaches to both public and private cloud computing, and outline the tough decisions that must be made to accelerate the journey to the hybrid cloud. As part of the transition, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model will enable enterprise IT to build services beyond their data center while owning what gets moved, when to move it, and for how long. IT can then move forward on what matters most to the organization that it supports – availability, agility and efficiency.

Oil falls in Asia Monday as traders eye Italian elections
SINGAPORE: Oil prices eased in Asia on Monday as dealers awaited the outcome of an Italian general election that could weaken the eurozone's single currency, analysts said.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in April, dropped six cents to $93.07 a barrel in the afternoon and Brent North Sea crude for delivery in April shed 12 cents to $113.98.
"Italian elections end later today and are keeping traders cautious," said a report from IG Markets Singapore.
An average of the most recent polls gave centre-left leader Pier Luigi Bersani 34 percent of the vote, former premier Silvio Berlusconi 30 percent, Beppe Grillo 17 percent and outgoing prime minister Mario Monti around 11 percent.
Bersani has said he will continue with the budget discipline enforced by Monti if he wins the elections, to the delight of financial markets.
But he will come under pressure to ease back on austerity and do more to promote growth and jobs as Italy endures its longest recession in 20 years and unemployment sits at a record high of 11.2 percent.
A return to the days of free-wheeling public finances could spell disaster for the eurozone, which has been beset by a debt crisis. - AFP

MarioBoza's forum posts
I saw the preview for the 2nd half of this season. I am glad they are doing the bit with Rick getting sick and Carl freaking out. But my concern is what they will do now since they did the phone bit last season. That's when the phone bit happens in the comics. Plus, I want know if they will show the bandits trying to rape Carl when Rick, Carl, and Abraham go out. That was a really impactful part in the comics. I really doubt they will, since they did not show Michonee getting owned by the Governor and how the Governor really lost his eye. I also doubt we will see Alexandra in this season too.
So what are the groups now?
-Rick & Carl
-The Bus Crew
-Maggie, Sasha, and Bob
You forgot The Walking 115 covers! This would make an awesome poster.
Thank you for everything Sara, you will be missed! Good luck on all of your future endeavors!

A tenuous thematic thread ties these three treatises together.
Can Saxo Bank keep its ProTeam license in 2013?
The UCI license commission ruled Tuesday that it would not revoke Saxo Bank's ProTeam license for 2012. The commission had reviewed the team's status because with the suspension of Alberto Contador, the team lost roughly 68 percent of its sporting criteria points. Had those points not been available last fall during the ProTeam application process, Saxo undoubtedly would have been denied for a license.
The ruling means the pressure's off for 2012, but it's building already for 2013. The team has just two minor wins, at the Tour of Taiwan, and is way behind, in last place in the points standings with just two points; next-to-last Ag2r has 71 points, and leading team Liquigas-Cannondale already has 376.
Saxo was dead last in 2011 as well, with just 228 points despite Contador's Giro d'Italia win, a victory at Volta Catalunya, and fifth place at the Tour de France.
ProTeam licenses are awarded not based on points compiled in a given season but on the points of the top 15 riders for the coming year—points acquired (PDF) on whatever team they rode for in the past.
But team manager Bjarne Riis had better be hard at work on a two-prong strategy to gain points. First, he must find some money to sign points-getters for next season. That may mean jettisoning some current riders if they can't produce results.
Second, Riis must decide whether he will try to re-hire Contador in August when the racer's suspension is up. The team, sponsor, and rider are all saying the right things right now about getting back together again. But technically, the suspension nullified Contador's contract; he's a free agent.
If they go their separate ways, look for Riis to become an aggressive buyer of points (not necessarily the same as talent or a cohesive team). The 2012 season is a write-off but savvy signings could mean a new start for 2013.
If Riis and Contador stay together, Contador will likely have to take a pay cut of some kind to allow Bjarne to sign other riders to shore up the points status (barring a major surge of results from the current roster, or a cash influx from a new major sponsor).
And for Alberto's part, he must race hard and smart in the final few months of the season to gain points. In essence, the Vuelta Espana becomes a must-win for him and the team.
Biopassport gaps due to funding?
Big news Tuesday about the resignation of doping expert Michael Ashenden from the UCI's biopassport review panel. Ashenden was part of a nine-member panel of independent experts the UCI used to review biopassport data for signs of possible doping.
Ashenden resigned because he refused to sign a new non-disclosure that he says would have greatly limited his ability to speak to the press and public about anti-doping science (and politics). Here's an excellent interview with Ashenden on NY Velocity that covers some of what he's concerned about and why, including issues around the Contador case.
Among Ashenden's past criticisms is a question of whether lack of finances has limited the UCI's ability to test pro riders often enough to build reliable passports. The UCI contested that strongly, but the math suggests Ashenden has a legitimate concern.
The biopassport covers all UCI ProTeams and Pro Continental teams. The UCI estimates the total cost of the program in 2010 was 4.2 million Swiss francs, or about 3.5 million Euro (at today's exchange rates). Much of that is contributed by the teams themselves as a condition of their licenses. There are roughly 1,000 riders in the passport testing pool, meaning that there is about 3,500 euro per rider, per year, for testing costs.
Tests are not cheap; even a conventional urine anti-doping sample run for a standard steroid panel costs several hundred dollars. Biopassport tests primarily use blood, which is more expensive to store and transport; the tests don't look for banned substances but are more like a sophisticated version of a blood panel you'd have done at a doctor's office. The cost on those can be closer to $1,000.
(page 2 of 2)
So the average Pro Continental and ProTeam rider is down for about three to four biopassport tests a year. These tests do not include in- or out-of-competition anti-doping tests, but those tests do not always include the blood chemistry data that are the backbone of the passport program, and there is great variation in how often riders are subject to conventional testing.
That leads to the question: How many data points do you need to build a reliable profile? In passport testing, the more the better. In past interviews with me, Ashenden has expressed unease in working with profiles with few data points—four a year might be enough, depending on their timing and how long the athlete has been in the system. Or it might be just enough to be totally confusing.
An expensive team-building exercise
I saw a news item the other day that Martha Johnson, the head of the General Services Administration, resigned ahead of a critical audit of spending. Among other bonehead moves, the agency hosted a lavish retreat for 300 staff that included a team-building exercise assembling bicycles. Cost? $75,000.
It's unclear what the cost was.CBS reports that the GSA purchased the 24 bicycles used (cost per bike: $3,125); for about that cost you can get an Ultegra-kitted Specialized Tarmac Comp, a Deore XT and Fox-equipped Giant Anthem X1, or three Trek Soho commuters.
The Washington Post reported the same cost but didn't specify that the bikes were purchased. In labor costs, that's $250 per participant. If there were 24 bicycles used, that's an eye-goggling 12-plus assemblers per bike. If it took those 12 people a total of two hours to assemble the bike (reasonable if from a bare frame), that's a $3,125 assembly job, at an hourly rate of $120—well more than $100 larger than the average hourly pay of most shop mechanics.

News: Rick Ross & Jeezy's New Collabo Effort Masterfully Explained
Monday, Feb 3, 2014 10:21PM
Atlanta producer Mike Will Made It has let the cat out of the bag that he will produce Rick Ross and Jeezy's new "Mastermind" track.
Although details are scarce, the mega producer is reportedly responsible for making the unexpected reunion track.
Mike Will Made It has announced, via Twitter, that he'll be producing an upcoming Rick Ross and Jeezy collaboration. "Rick Ross ft Young Jeezy prod. By Mike WiLL Made-It, Eardrumas... #MadeItMafia #Mastermind," the producer tweeted. Mike Will's rep confirmed that the track will appear on Rozay's forthcoming sixth studio album Mastermind. (Complex)
Last week, Ricky Rozay announced a new Jeezy-featured "War Ready" single.
Rick Ross has just shocked the hip-hop world with the announcement of his new single #WarReady, featuring Young Jeezy. Once bitter enemies, the two rap heavyweights have put their difference to the side and joined forces for the sake of rap. Instead of channeling their energy into a beef, Ross and Jeezy have stepped up as real bosses to show the world that there's no positive outcomes from beef. (VIBE)
The "Snowman" also confirmed the new track by posting a link and promoting it on his Twitter page.
"Rozay x Jefe http://bit.ly/1mDx6yg pic.twitter.com/rlTxSlk1FU," Jeezy tweeted January 24. (Jeezy's Twitter)
A few years ago, Miami producer DJ Khaled put an end to the Ross/Jeezy rift reports.
"Well first of all, I don't condone problems," Khaled explained in an interview with radio host Bootleg Kev. "That's what I do. I represent that love and making great music. And them two guys, they don't have no problems. So, you know, I guess this is an exclusive, they don't have problems. I guess people in the streets, they try to make things into a problem. But that's just life. That's when you know you're hot and that's just part of the game, man. Being in the game and being successful, you have to deal with things like that. But you know, they ain't got not problems. It's all love. I don't know what to tell you. It's all love." (Bootleg Kev)

A Shreveport man says he has thought about moving out of the neighborhood where he has lived for 43 years because the streets are in such dire need of repairs.
Lonnie Hamilton says he shouldn't be forced to move from the MLK area where he lives in the 2700 block of Hersey D. Wilson Drive just because city leaders won't fix the streets. Hamilton says, "With the streets being in need of repair, that means the value of my house has also gone done but the taxes have not gone down."
Hamilton says ever since the MLK area was annexed into the city, the streets, especially his street have deteriorated to the point that it's like driving on a roller coaster, "I consider this to be one of the worst in the city of Shreveport," says Hamilton.
The money has been approved for street repairs for three years, Hamilton says, but nothing has been done. The street is named after Hersey D. Wilson, who served on the Caddo ParishCommission for some 30 years.
But, Hamilton doesn't think the street's condition reflects Wilson's service to the community.
"I thought about moving but since my house is paid for, why should I have to build another house at my age because the city will not repair the street?" says Hamilton.
Rose McCulloch is the District A Councilwoman. Ironically, the street is named after her father Hersey D. Wilson. "It doesn't represent the service that my father, the honorable Hersey D. Wilson served this community," says McCulloch.
Interim Purchasing Director Don Evans tells KSLA News 12 that the bidding process to find a contractor was postponed twice because of errors, but it will resume on March 7.
In 2011, Shreveport voters approved a $175-million bond package. It's the largest bond proposal in the city's history. Three propositions were passed. One allots $920-million for water and sewerage projects. Proposition 3 puts $38-million into SPAR and public safety works. The third puts $44-million into streets and drainage projects.

The Seahawks just signed a physical beast to comPETE in camp. Who could they bring in competition?
Now, I really love the WR class this year. As we heard Davis Hsu and Jared Stanger discuss in the latest podcast (if you haven't heard it, you really should, it's the one on tight ends in this draft), this may be the best in the past 10 years or so. There's a receiver of every type you could want. There's the #1 guys (Watkins, Evans, Lee), there's the Big guys (Donte Moncrief, Brandon Coleman, Kelvin Benjamin), there's the shifty guys (Robinson, Beckham Jr., Cooks), and tons of in-between guys as well. There's no reason really NOT to take one in the first few rounds, especially given that we don't currently have a third-round pick.
Now I don't think that WR will be the our first pick (but I've been wrong before), I think that PC and JS will address either the O-line or, more likely, the D-line, since there are so many D-linemen leaving in free agency this year. Personally, I like Hageman or Donald at the 32nd pick (I love typing that), though Hageman may not last that long. But that's not the point here. What that means is that the Seahawks will likely look for a WR at the 64th pick of the draft this year, which, if you ask me, is the right move, there are so many good WRs in the draft, that you might be able to get a Jordan Matthews, or Donte Moncrief, or Cody Hoffman, and I could go on and on.
Usually those guys would be gone in the first three rounds easily, but the depth at the position actually devalues the players at that position that aren't super-amazing-this-guy-is-unreal kind of prospects. Sammy Watkins is going in the top 10. That's going to happen, and Mike Evans is a top 15 pick too, and Lee in the top 25. but after that, there's lots of players that are about the same level, and those players are going to be devalued. It's simple supply and demand, there's a constant demand, but a huge supply this year. People are going to fudge their on their draft boards this year; get other players that might be slightly lower on their boards since they can get a similar receiver for a later pick, and get tremendous value for that WR. The Seahawks likely love this because players like Matthews and Moncrief, who would usually be snapped up in the first or mid second, could drop all the way to their second pick, 32nd in the 2nd round, and they can use the first pick to shore up other needs at the line of scrimmage.
Of course, there's also the fact that bigger corners aren't as prevalent this year, and since the Seahawks did just win the Super-bowl (still not tired of typing it), and this is a copy-cat league, bigger corners are in vogue right now (though personally I think it should be the safeties that get more notice). Guys like Stanley Jean-Baptiste, Keith McGill, and Pierre Desir are all slated to go in the second or early third. Now there's every chance that out there somewhere is another overlooked corner that Pete and John know about and no one else does, but if there is, as I just said, I don't know about them. It's very possible that Pete and John break with tradition and draft one of those guys in the second round, that leaves us with the 32nd pick of the 4th round.
This is where guys like L'Damian Washington, Cody Latimer, and Cody Hoffman come into play. Unless those guys blow up the combine, there's every chance that they do, but assuming they don't, this is where they'll be available. These guys are very acceptable, and there's nothing wrong with them. they're not extremely special, they don't have Moncrief's size or Matthews' (Jordan, but possibly Chris too) hands, but they do have qualities that make them way better than what you'd find here in a normal draft, at least without major character concerns.
All in all, I don't see any way that this FO doesn't draft a Wr this year, if only as competition for the ones already on their roster. There's so much to like about his class that it might be actually be pretty stupid not to. of course tight end is always an option, and there are quite a few of those in this draft too, but if Zach Miller is restructured and Anthony McCoy is resigned, that position should be pretty much set. there's no guarantee of that happening, but that's what happens when you're world champs (still love typing that).
But, as I say every time, This FO is much smarter than I am. I trust them. I also trust Jared's scouting more than mine, so read his stuff.

Women, the Wall and Judaism
By SADEENA PINHASIK
05/29/2013 23:29
It is obvious that the Women of the Wall must feel a connection to Judaism, yet I'm left wondering if they realize that these holy items, tefillin and talitot, carry with them a heavy responsibility.

I've mulled this issue over many times in my mind, and would like to pose some questions to the Women of the Wall, or at least to explain my approach to the Wall.
It is obvious that the Women of the Wall must feel a connection to Judaism, because they seek to perform a religious practice at a holy religious site. Yet, I'm left wondering if they realize that these holy items, tefillin and talitot, carry with them a heavy responsibility.
It is well known that Bruria, the wife of Rebbe Meir, donned tefillin. It is not a forbidden practice for women to put on tefillin, but it does come with a commitment. When one recognizes the use of tefillin, then he/she most certainly recognizes that written within them are chapters taken from the Torah. Tefillin bear significance because of what is written in them and the message they give to the wearer, regardless of whether the wearer is a man or woman.
The message is: God is One, keep all His mitzvot and you will be blessed. So, I believe that if tefillin is so cherished by anyone that they need to don it publicly, even when that is not the accepted practice, they need to make sure that they do what is written inside those same tefillin. If they don't, then it is not the tefillin that are important to them; they might have a different reason for donning them, unconnected to Judaism.
Imagine that a young, up-and-coming lawyer was accepted at a very prestigious law firm. She'd be thrilled to tell all her relatives and elated at this new addition to her resume. Would she dare approach the head lawyer and say, "Thank you so much for accepting me into your firm. I'm sure I'll do a great job – but I'll only be showing up to work on Tuesday mornings and Wednesday afternoons. Oh, and don't bother me with heavy duty cases that will take too much of my time."
Getting a job at that esteemed law firm is not a pick-and-choose deal. So too the Torah.
If one wants to don tefillin- one has to take on everything else that comes with it. The wearer must commit to pray three times a day, will have to put on tefillin every day, keep kosher, keep the holy Sabbath and all the holidays, visit the mikvah each month after her menstrual cycle and dress modestly.
Wearing tefillin would be the cherry on top after undertaking all these many mitzvot! Among the issues of the Kotel was of course the issue of feminism. My friend, a convert to Judaism, told me the following: "I am the biggest feminist. I think women should be treated equally and they should be paid the same wages as men. Yes, that is for sure. But I don't need to do things that a man does, like wearing tefillin and talitot, to feel my femininity."
The Torah ensures a woman of her femininity.
Women were created in accordance with Hashem's will. Women have their own set of mitzvot that are tailor-made for them.
I feel comfortable but not compromised by saying that women and men were created differently. Just look at them! On a physical level they are blatantly different. So, too on a spiritual level. Each has a separate and unique life mission (
That doesn't mean each sex's mission is not of equal importance. In fact, some might argue that a woman's mission is more important than a man's. It is brought down in the Talmud that in the merit of righteous women, the Moshiach will arrive. That's like saying, in modern-day terms, that world peace was established in the merit of Mrs. X or in the merit of Women's Rights, Inc. What could be greater and more feministic than the promise of utopia, brought to you by non other than righteous women! And that is upon whose shoulders the Torah has placed such a tremendous merit! Allow me to address one more issue. A truly open-minded person who wants to make an educated decision must delve deeply and responsibly into all sides of an issue. Certainly one would be hesitant to argue with Professor Aumann, a Nobel laureate in economics, about, say, correlated equilibrium in game theory without doing a lot of reading and research beforehand.
Most people don't know too much about correlated equilibrium, or about game theory. In the same vein, how much qualified Torah knowledge do the women who want to wear tefillin at the Kotel have about the general issue of women taking upon themselves mitzvot generally reserved for men? Have they truly studied the Torah from the many Torah laureates that abound in this country? These Torah laureates are experts in the subject; they study the subject day and night for years on end, using commentaries that have been learned for centuries. It's hard to believe that all these centuries-old scholars just "didn't get it" and were missing the point.
Maybe it's worthwhile for anyone who is unclear about this dilemma to take the time to find out what the Torah experts have to say. Maybe even, the next time they visit the Kotel, they should turn around and walk into the Aish HaTorah Learning Center, ask for the reasons and maybe enjoy the explanations.
