Whitney Houston's funeral service really took the world to church. Love Pastor Winans' honesty, very moving.

If you’re a student at Massena High School in New York, you can take yoga in school.
Just don’t call it yoga.
The school recently sought to introduce a yoga program, citing the benefits relaxation can have on students’ stress levels. But parents complained that a yoga program would promote Hinduism, the religion that introduced the practice, thereby conflicting with the separation of church and state.
The solution?
Let’s have yoga and not call it yoga. Officials are now calling the program “Raider Relaxation” instead and are offering it as part of an after-school club. (Their school mascot is the raider.)
According to the International Herald Tribune, 100 schools in 26 states use yoga to relieve stress.
