3:44PM EDT October 18. 2012 - A district judge has ruled that an East Texas school district's ban on cheerleaders quoting Scriptures on banners at high school football games appears to violate their free speech rights.District Judge Steve Thomas set a June trial date Thursday on the issue, Beaumont's KDFM-TV reports.The Kountze Independent School District in September had ordered the cheerleaders to refrain from quoting the Bible verses after a complaint from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, which said it was acting on behalf of an atheist who felt the school was promoting Christianity.Republican Gov. Rick Perry and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott have backed the cheerleaders.Abbott, who filed papers with the court on behalf of the cheerleaders, called the banners "student-led expression" that is constitutional."We will not allow atheist groups from outside the state of Texas to come into the state to use menacing and misleading and intimidating tactics to try to bully schools to bow down to the altar of secular beliefs," Abbott said on the eve of the hearing, KDFM reports.The Scriptures are painted on paper banners that are hoisted in front of the football team when it bursts onto the field at Friday night games.One recent banner borrowed from Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me," The Victoria Times Colonist reports.

9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain(BEHEADED) for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

REVELATION 20:4
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Pakistani girl shot by Taliban "doing well"

Reuters – 40 mins ago OCT 19,12
LONDON (Reuters) - A Pakistani girl shot in the head by Taliban gunmen is "not out of the woods" but is doing well and has been able to stand for the first time, doctors at the British hospital treating her said on Friday.Malala Yousufzai, who was shot for vocally opposing the Taliban, was flown from Pakistan to Birmingham to receive treatment after the attack earlier this month, which drew widespread international condemnation.She has become a symbol of resistance to the Islamist group's effort to deny women education and other rights.Dave Rosser, medical director of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, said she was now able to write and appeared to have memory recall despite her brain injuries."It's clear that she's not out of the woods yet," Rosser told reporters, saying she had sustained a "very, very grave injury". But he said she was "doing very well"."In fact she was standing with some help for the first time this morning. She's communicating very freely, writing," he said.Rosser said, however, that the teenager was not able to speak because she had undergone a tracheotomy so she could breathe through a tube in her neck, an operation that was performed because her airways had been swollen by the bullet.Yousufzai was shot as she left school in Swat, northwest of Islamabad. The Taliban said they attacked her because she spoke out against the group and praised U.S. President Barack Obama.The alleged organizer of the shooting was captured during a 2009 military offensive against the Taliban, but released after three months, two senior officials told Reuters.In a detailed statement about Yousufzai's injuries, Rosser said she had suffered fractures to the base of her skull and to the bone behind her left ear. Her left jawbone is also injured at its joint.
"POINT BLANK RANGE"
"Malala was shot at point blank range," with the bullet hitting her left brow, Rosser said. But instead of penetrating skull it travelled underneath the skin, the whole length of the side of her head and into her neck.
Shock waves from the shot shattered the thinnest bone of her skull and fragments were driven into her brain.
Rosser said there was certainly physical damage to the brain but it was too early to tell whether that would affect any brain functions."She seems to be able to understand, she has some memory," he said. "She's able to stand, she's got motor control ... (but) whether there are any subtle intellectual or memory deficits down the line, it's too early to say."The hospital unit is expert in dealing with complex trauma cases and has treated hundreds of soldiers wounded in Afghanistan. It has the world's largest single-floor critical care unit for patients with gunshot wounds, burns, spinal damage and major head injuries.Rosser said Yousufzai's treatment is likely to include reconstructive surgery to replace the damaged skull bone.That surgery is unlikely to be able to be carried until for several weeks or even months, he said, since she is also fighting an infection that needs to be cured first."She's going to need a couple of weeks to rehabilitate, to make sure the infection is cleared up," he said.(Reporting by Alessandra Rizzo and Kate Kelland; Editing by Robin Pomeroy)
