Margaret Toscano's Theology: An Appreciation by JNS at BCC, arguing that Toscano's writings are an original and significant contribution to LDS theological discourse. A must-read companion post is My Mormon History by Toscano herself at FMH, offering her brief reflections on the challenges of being a female scholar of Mormon thought and culture (one of those challenges being her excommunication in 2000 for her published views on MIH, priesthood, etc.).
"Post of the Day" is a new feature I'm trying out here at DMI. When people just outdo themselves, there might be two posts for the day; when I'm busy, it might be a post of the every other day. If you see a particularly good post at an LDS blog, especially one from a smaller blog that might not be listed on my Google Reader but deserves some recognition, send me an email with the link.
BTW - Dave you have those annoying pop up previews of what the web page you link to looks like. Any chance of turning them off? Personally I think whomever invented them and made them standard on so many blogs deserves a special spot on one of the levels of Dante's inferno.

Yes Clark, it's one of my new upgrades. Like it? It doesn't flash for internal links or sidebar links, only center column links. If, after a couple of weeks, the general opinion is against it, I'll drop it. It only flashes when you hover the link, you know.

Yes, but it flashes as you click on the link. So mine's a big vote against it.

That's true, Clark. Maybe Snap will force us into becoming either fast clickers (who beat the flash) or slow clickers (who linger to view the pop-up before deciding whether to follow the link). This should diminish the "blind link." As you dislike site pop-ups, I detest blind links.

Actually, I have no idea what you guys are talking about.
I have Firefox 2.0 on my Mac and installed the plugin "No Script." So I never see any of this stuff. No pop ups, no ads, nothing - unless I specifically choose to enable it.
Dave's blog looks same as always to me.
