Tasting notes from The Peninsula de Sétubal
by Tom Cannavan, 11/10
These notes accompany our in-depth feature on
Sétubal and Palmela
JOSE MARIA de FONSECA
Domini Plus 2008, Douro
A wine from the Douro, not Sétubal, made from Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz from 35-year-old vineyards in the Douro Superieur. Started as a joint venture with Christian Van Zellar. Nice fragrant wine, the 60% Touriga Franca giving touches of elegant, even floral notes. The palate has a lovely fresh appeal, with big tannins suggesting it need considerable time, but the black fruit and sinewy, tight edge of tannins and acidity giving lovely structure. Very refined really, with nothing chunky. 91/100.
Periquita Superyor 2008, Palmela
92% of this wine is 35-year-old Castelão, with 6% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Tinta Francisca aged in French oak. Big meaty nose, with lots of deep, sinewy, plummy fruit. A big wine this, the palate having very good freshness with racy acidity and very quite grippy, chunky tannins. Very juicy, the tart cherry skin quality of the juice adding lots of grip and lip-smacking appeal. 89/100
Hexagon 2007, Palmela
Domingo says that ever since he finished his studies at UC Davis he had in his mind the idea of a great wine, the style of which he had as a plan that might take 20 years, to identify and plant exactly the right grapes in the right spot, and waiti for them to reach suitable maturity. Tasting a barrel of Tinta Cão, he felt he had the basis for making this wine which became Hexagon. In fact the blend is Touriga Nacional, Tinta Franca, Tinto Cão, Trincadeira, Shiraz and Tannat. Cedary and elegant on the nose, it has meaty black fruit, but is quite clear and fruity, with lots of spice and that subtle oak and earthiness coming through. The palate has plenty of fruit: really bold and chewy, with big tannins adding a pleasant roughening texture to quite smooth fruit. That bloody, gamey ripeness is there, with nice acidity into the finish too. 92/100
José de Sousa Mayor 2007, Alentejo
Made in the Alentejo in clay pots and lagars for fermentation a blend of Trincadeira, Aragonez and Grande Noir aged in French oak. This has a lovely bright fruity lift, with a creaminess of berry fruits and some cassis intensity coming through. The oak is very much in the background, but this does hint at a chocolaty depth. Very silky, very ripe on the palate with creamy tannins and plenty of acidity from the Grande Noir to make the finish very fresh. 92/100.
José de Sousa, J 2007, Alentejo
Only 12.8% alcohol, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional and Grande Noir combine in a really spicy, more exotic wine with lots of ripe plum fruit and a hint of coffee and chocolate. The palate has delicious fruit again, with a smooth mid-palate and again that juiciness that pushes this through into a long, richly fruited but tight and fresh finish with bold tannins that are also quite muscular, sinewy, but refined too. 91/100
Alambre 20 year old Moscatel de Sétubal
Nutty nose, with a flood of orange fruit, toffee and old polished wood. The palate is flooded with beautifully mellow, sweet fruit, but that resonating core of lemony acidity pushes through, giving this lots of precision in the finish. 90/100
Domingos Soares Franco Coleccão Privada Moscatel de Sétubal Roxo 2001
Has a lovely smokiness, some stewed tea and gently rosehip notes, as well as that walnutty background and caramel. On the palate it has that lovely delicacy, with the a red fruit character and lovely bite and delicacy. 92/100

Angel Unzueta
(Artist -
Titans; DC Comics Presents; The Flash; Green Lantern; Legion of Super-Heroes; X-Force; Wolverine
Angel Unzueta began his comic career in Spain, where he published a high successful miniseries entitled Neck & Cold.
Soon after, he began to work for the American Comic Book market, debuting with the Wonder Woman Tangent special (1998). This year he also draw an issue of Wolverine along with Stephen Platt and pin ups for Legends of the DC Universe.
In 1999, Angel published several fill in issues (Impulse, Young Justice, Young Justice One Million, X Force), proving his ability to draw a monthly issue and growing as an artist on each work.
Next year, angel was hired to draw the first story arc written by Geoff Johns in Flash. Wonderland, an acclaimed saga that has been reedited first in paperback and later on the Omnibus format is considered by fans and critics as one of the best stories of the character and established Johns as a fan favourite.
In 2001, Angel drew the last two issues of Legion of Superheroes and a Flash annual, a necessary decrease on his workload due to his duties as CEO of a Spanish Marketing and Desing Company. Finally, being forced to choose among comic books and his own company, he left comic books for a while.
In 2007, Angel began a slow comeback to comic books, collaborating on four issues of Green Lantern Corps and drawing a couple of issues of Countdown: The Search of Ray Palmer.
This led him to be the regular artist on Titans (DC comics, 2009-2010) for more than a year. During this time, several writers were proved on the title, which gave the title some kind of instability.
After so many changes, Angel felt that he needed to have a break on his monthly schedule and pursue creator owned projects where he could show the real potential of his art.
In 2012 Angel Unzueta published the first volume of Reliques, an adventure series of Graphic Novels set on The Crusades and published by Glenat, one of the biggest editing houses of the French market. On this series, written by former comics journalist Koldo Azpitarte, Angel draws, inks and colours his own work, showing a lavishly and detailed artwork that has gained praise and admiration wherever it has been published.
Now Angel Unzueta has finished the second part of Reliques and is working on a new project for the French market along with a long awaited return to American comic books.

Yep, works for me.
Not sure about Nova T though as I never use it.
Just checking.
Does SIMS..NET run ok on Win 7 64 bit?
Yep, works for me.
Not sure about Nova T though as I never use it.
No probs here.
Yes it does work, but of course the older 16Bit parts do not work.
FMS works too, but I find both still work best on 32Bit.
Cool thanks that's good for most users. I'll assume that Options and Nova modules need 32bit then?
Also, be careful about personnel links between SIMS and FMS if you have a mixed 32/64-bit environment. You have to specify the path to the SIMS .net folder which is a single, estate-wide option. If it's set to C:\Program Files\SIMS\SIMS .net like it will be on all of your 32-bit workstations, FMS will complain about not finding it on the 64-bit devices if you've installed SIMS and FMS to the Program Files (x86) folder.
Nova T6 and Options work fine - just make sure the borland database engine (32bit) is installed.
Also we have found significant issues with the 64bit version of Microsoft Office and SIMS, and advise schools only to use 32bit Office
Not even Microsoft recommend you use 64bit Office!
Yer, everything works but Nova-T4, which ain't supported anyway! Actually not sure about Nova-P, hey, what do you know, it does work on win7 64bit!!

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Take Two for July 30, 2013
Bradley Manning acquitted of 'aiding the enemy' charge
Mark Wilson/Getty Images
Army Private Bradley Manning is escorted away from his Article 32 hearing February 23, 2012 in Fort Meade, Maryland.
Today, former Private Bradley Manning, who was charged for leaking thousands of pages of government documents to WikiLeaks in 2010, was acquitted of his charger for 'aiding the enemy," generally considered the most serious charge he was facing.
A conviction for the charge would have given the 25-year-old Manning a life sentence in federal prison. Manning was convicted of 19 of the 21 charges brought against him, including five counts of espionage and five counts of theft.
For a look on military judge Colonel Denise Lind's ruling and how the case has shed light on national security policy in the U.S., Loyola Law School professor and former Naval officer David Glazier joins the show.

Lamentations 3:21-24
This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. Through the LORD's mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I hope in Him!"
The phoenix is a majestic mythical bird that after its set time, ignites itself and in its own nest burns in the flames of its own making, only to then later emerge, reborn from the ashes! At the very least, this myth is both a picture of resurrection and immortality. Don't you think??
In 1965 Hollywood produced a film called 'Flight of the Phoenix,' starring James Stewart, telling the story of a plane crash where the twelve surviving lost and dispirited souls, are encouraged by one of the 'oddest of the oddest' characters assembled in the cast, that from the remains, they can together, build an aircraft which he has designed, to then make an escape from the certain death of the desert. The 2004 remake of this well acted film has one of the best crash scenes ever filmed but is incomparable to the acting quality of the first film, save for the speech of one of the characters. Let me get to that.
In the script of the 2004 remake of 'The Flight of the Phoenix,' the captain of the crashed aircraft loses all hope and is then found refusing to try and implement the plan of rebuilding and possible escape which has been placed before him and in his own reluctance and despondency, he also removes all hope of escape from the survivors. This causes one of them, Crew Member Liddle, to strike out by himself on foot and into the certain death of the desert, willing to "try and die," as he puts it, rather than remain in an hopeless situation. The captain follows him into the desert and finds him. Here, the conversation of that encounter turns the captain's heart to the embracing of hope, which in turn leads to the subsequent resurrected, rebuild of the previously proposed aircraft and to all their eventual deliverance. Here is the three-sentence gold mine for us to look at today:
Captain Frank Towns: "Why give people false hope?
Crew Member Liddle: "Come on man. Most folks spend their whole lives holding on to hopes and dreams that are never going to come true but they hold on to them. Why are you going to give up on them now when you need them most?"
Captain Frank Towns: "You are assuming I'm one of those people who has hopes and dreams."
Crew Member Liddle: "I find it hard to believe that a man who learns to fly never had a dream. "
Captain Frank Towns: "Look, how can I let those people build that plane when I don't believe it will work? And, every day they waste trying to build it brings them one day closer to dying."
Crew Member Liddle: "I think a man only needs one thing in life. He just needs someone to love. If you can't give him that, then give him something to hope for. And if you can't give him that, just give him something to do."
Captain Frank Towns: "James, you'll never make it."
Crew Member Liddle: "Then I'll die trying. There are people counting on me."
Captain Frank Towns: "Okay, Okay, Okay. Okay. We'll build it."
I love these lines, don't you?
"I think a man only needs one thing in life.
He just needs someone to love. If you can't give him that,
then give him something to hope for. And if you can't give him that,
just give him something to do."
If your life has been singed today or ruined in a fire, then let me tell you that whatever, I say whatever those flames have been, there is in Jesus, always hope of a resurrection. God has revealed Himself to you in Christ and invited you into an intimate relationship with Him. "Love me!" He says, "For I am worthy and will never let you down, and will never, never, no never leave you. I have given you a certain hope, a definite promise, that will be established with you and in you, just as I have said! All will be well in the end! Nothing shall be wasted and everything shall be redeemed and turned to your eternal and great advantage. Now GO! Go into all the world and tell every one of the great things I have done for you and for all who will call upon My name."
Jesus has given us Himself to love, a new life in the heavens with Him to hope for and something glorious for us to do for Him and with Him. Jesus then, has given us the three most necessary things in life which we need. Someone to love, something to hope for and something to live for.
Listen: When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place. Since you were precious in My sight, You have been honored, And I have loved you; Isaiah 43:2b-4a
Pray: Lord, thank you for this trifold blessing of reasons to live! Thank You for predestined purpose. Help me then, to focus on You today and then to love You with all my heart and with all my soul and with all my might. Then help me to do exactly the same, tomorrow and the next day, and the next day and the next day. Help me to continually rise, rebirthed with hope, from all the flames of my life, in Your great name I ask it, amen.

This colorful tissue wreath can be used year-round, but would look great around the holiday season. Tissue paper and ribbon are what brings this whole craft together into one lovely piece. Kathleen George shows us how to make it in six easy steps.
Find this and other Rainbow Crafts at "14 Simple DIY Rainbow Crafts for Springtime"!
- STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam:
- Wreaths: 9" x 1-1/4" x 3/4"; two 6" x 1-1/4" x 5/8"
- Coordinating grosgrain ribbon, 1" x 1/2 yd.
- Brightly colored tissue paper, several large sheets in assorted colors
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Optional: Rotary cutter, cutting mat and metal ruler
- Optional: Straight pins
- Thick, white craft glue
Note: You will need a total of eighty 4" x 6" pieces of tissue paper to cover all three foam wreaths. To save time, stack several layers of tissue paper and use rotary cutter to cut multiple 4"-wide strips. Combine strips into stacks and cut multiple 6" lengths at a time.
- Set aside 40 tissue pieces for 9" foam wreath and 20 pieces for each 6" wreath.
- Fold each tissue piece in half lengthwise to measure 2" x 6". Cut 1-1/2"-long fringe along folded edge, every 1/4". Leave strips folded.
- Wrap and glue top edge of first fringed strip, opposite fold, around one side of wreath. Glue and pin ends at back to secure, leaving fringe loose.
- Wrap and glue second fringed strip around wreath, 1/2" below first and under fringe; pin ends if desired. Wrap and glue remaining tissue strips around wreath in same way until surface is completely covered. Repeat to cover all three wreaths.
- Use scissors to make small holes in center top and bottom of 9" wreath (A) and one 6" wreath (B); make small hole in center top of remaining 6" wreath (C). Using photo as guide, position wreaths on work surface with B in the center.
- Cut one 8" and two 4" ribbon lengths. Glue ends of 4" lengths into holes in wreaths, joining A and B and B and C together. Glue ends of 8" length into hole at top of A for hanger; pin to secure.

Gary Burge Replies: Neither He Nor Wheaton Responsible for Anti-Semitic Poster
I received a reply yesterday from Dr. Gary Burge of Wheaton College to my previous post on the subject of the advertising being done at First Presbyterian Church of Wheaton, Illinois, of a speaking engagement he has there at the end of this month. As promised, here is his reply in its entirety:
A few Anglican friends of mine pointed out your post on the Stand Firm website. And I must say I found it discouraging. For two reasons: it lacks honesty and it lack charity. Let me explain.
First, honesty. Wheaton College has nothing to do with this event. So it should not even be mentioned. I did not write the text of the poster you refer to. This is something that is just over at the church. I was invited to give a lecture on Christian Zionism. That's it. So to imply that Wheaton or I have anything to do with the things you mention is not true. Please repost the entry and remove Wheaton College from the title and the text.
Second, charity. We all know that the web is a place where harsh words are published. I expect that nowadays but generally this comes from those who do not claim to belong to Christ. I assume you do. It strikes me that we need as Christ-Followers to have a higher standard for ourselves. To use words that edify and enlighten. To use charity in our speech. I have already had Anglicans write to me and apologize to me on behalf of Stand Firm that such a post would appear. It remains to be seen if I'm "anti-Zioinist." I'd encourage anyone to come and listen to me at First Presbyterian/Wheaton to see for themselves.
Matters about which we feel passionate are matters that can often lead us to mis-speak. I've done it many times myself. As a Christian brother I would ask you to have trusted, honest friends read your writing and reflect with you whether this reflects the charity of Christ in all things.
Gary Burge

Interesting. He states something we already believed. That Wheaton College and he did not write the poster. And he doesn't repudiate its content.
The rest is so much hectoring filler asserting that David's post wasn't honest or charitable—but six trusted honest friends—the rest of the SF blogging crew—think David's post honest and charitable. So seven of us differ with Gary Burge about the definitions of honest and charitable, not to mention "edify" and "enlighten." ; > )
Ah well.
I think Professor Burge has a point with regard to charity. It seems that the appropriate tack would have been to check with him first. I would hardly call his response hectoring filler. That comment seems pointless. Perhaps he should have added "independent" to trusted.
RE: "That comment seems pointless."
Well had I ignored the bulk of the response that doesn't address the content of David's post, those who disagree with the seven SF bloggers on the definition of "charity" would have then wondered why I ignored it. So responding with saying "look at that hectoring filler" isn't precisely "pointless" as it communicates what I believe it to be, regardless of whether people agree with my assessment of it or not. I could hardly have left the vast majority of his words completely un-noticed.
As far as adding the word "independent" to "trusted"—we've certainly heard the cry of "how dare you say what you believe to be so out loud on your blog or ask those questions" a thousand times before, and we won't be getting outside reviewers to pre-moderate our blog posts any time soon. I think seven bloggers, of Anglicans, Episcopalians, and Presbyterians—both Reformed and not—to be quite enough of an objective reviewing team.
At any rate, it's a rather surprisingly vague boilerplate non-repudiating response from Gary Burge with rhetoric worthy of KJS, and I suspect that those who complained about David Fischler's post recognize that quite well amongst themselves.
All of this makes me now wonder a few things.
First, I hope that David will develop some posts about Gary Burge's ideas themselves rather than the dreadful anti-semitic poster—I've reviewed only one short essay and it was pretty darned bad but maybe it was just written for a populist audience who needed cardboard cut-outs and broad sweeping rhetorical gestures.
Second, I'm now very curious as to how many other professors with Gary Burge's emphases and ideas are employed by Wheaton College.
I agree that Professor Burge did not address the fact that the text on the left side of the horrible poster is a pack of lies, and that the text on the right side of the poster states the fact that he is giving a lecture, and that he is a professor at Wheaton College. He *did* say that he didn't write the text…and then proceeded to chide Mr. Fischler like an errant child, and yes, that was exactly his tone.
Where, sir, is the repudiation of the ideas stated in the poster? Or, if no repudiation, then support of the stated ideas? Can you address the meat of Mr. Fischler's article, rather than stating your displeasure at the fact that it was revealed to the public?
I have confidence that the Stand Firm team are capable of self-policing, and have no trouble in offering each other checks and balances when necessary. No, I don't believe that Mr. Fischler's post was un-Christian or uncharitable. I do believe that the post put the good professor's nose out of joint, and I expected a better response. I could have scripted that on the back of a napkin, were I in a snarky mood.
Charity? higher standards? Words that edify and enlighten?
As I write this I am having to remind myself - charity first.
Well, let me be as charitable as possible. Before you invest in the trip to Wheaton "to see" for yourself, why don't you listen to what Mr. Burge considers words of charity that edify and enlighten. But first - let me set the scene. Dr. Burge is in Israel and choses to mock the beliefs and practices of Jews at the most sacred site on the planet.
Here is the a video. Warning: There is a lot more of this particular brand of "charity, edification and enlightening" in the video.
If this is enligtenment and edification, I think I'll pass.
Thank you for posting the video, Jackie.
I can now see where David Fischler was coming from in posting the original article, with its questions. And where the questions came from, and why they were phrased rhetorically. Since anyone familiar with Burge (which I was not at all until reading the article) would know the answers.
It's like asking if Tom Shaw would perform a gay wedding, if KGTF would commune the unbaptized or if KJS spent years at Nashotah studying the orthodox interpretation of the Pauline Epistles. You really do know the answer before you ask.
Now, in what I hope will be taken as constructive criticism, I think that the article would have had more impact had it included more about Dr. Burge, his writings and lectures. SF may have transitioned away from being an Anglican blog in order to cover broader social and political issues, but judging by comments, and who makes them, the core readership remains Anglican. And so I suspect that Burge was unknown to a portion of that readership.
Back in the days before McCormick Theological Seminary closed its campus near DePaul in Chicago, I knew several of the professors there (when you are a preacher's kid, you get to know all the other preacher's kids dads). Liberal Presbyterianism sure has changed a lot in 40 years.
Full disclosure: I received my BA in theology from Wheaton and studied with Dr Burge, so I confess to having more of a personal stake than one usually does when commenting on the internet. That being said, I'd like to offer a few thoughts.
[comment portion deleted—please recall that "should you have posted on this topic at all" comments or any version of "Matthew 18/private consultation guys" about blog posts is off-topic as it simply drags us into a well-trodden theological argument about why the SF bloggers do not grant that argument rather than the actual topic of the post]
2. Why did Dr. Burge not refute the offending content?
This is pure speculation, but If I were a betting man (which I'm not), I would imagine that Dr. Burge thought that given how the conversation had already been framed, it was unlikely that any extensive exchange would accomplish any better understanding. I've not known Dr. Burge to back down from long and difficult exchanges that have the potential to be productive. Again, this is speculation, but I can see how if Dr. Burge thought (correctly or not) that he would still be perceived roughly the same way whether he offered the response that he did or went through many exchanges that he would decide it might not be worth it to engage further.
For what it's worth, I never once heard Dr. Burge teach anything remotely close to the offending content on the poster.
3. The Wheaton question: Why no statement? What does it say about the College/are there "others"?
Why hasn't the administration responded? Frankly, I doubt the administration is even aware of the conversation going around in this corner of the internet (one of my favorite corners, don't get me wrong!). If there was a big public stink, I'm sure the administration would respond.
Are there more like him at Wheaton? More what? Other than Jackie's post of a video of Dr. Burge speaking, all we know is that Dr. Burge is giving a lecture at a local church where some folks make an offensive poster and rather than enter into a lengthy exchange, Dr. Burge chose to simply say that he didn't write it and that the college has nothing to do with it.
This is the problem with the headline in the first post, which should be changed: it's pure sensationalism. The headline reads like the College as a whole in some official, institutional way, is (or may be, since it's a "question") partnering up with the PCUSA to slander Israel. This headline is far larger than the truth: a Wheaton professor is giving a talk on the theology of Christian Zionism at a local PCUSA parish, and a group of people in that parish made a stupid and offensive poster without his consultation.
[comment edited—please use private message to discuss commenting protocol; this particular one has been in place for more than a year] My point is about having sufficient information before making a public argument, regardless of how that information is gathered.
How's this for a replacement #1?
While the issues at stake are worth discussing publicly, it is certainly worth making sure one has one's ducks in a row and all of the necessary information before jumping from finding a person's name being listed on a secondary source he did not approve, to labeling a person "anti-Zionist," to a headline that questions whether a whole college is in on slandering Israel. These are grand logical leaps to make without all of the relevant information.
The poster in question raises important questions worthy of debate, but if there is to be any meaningful conversation, there needs to be room for people to respond and give clarification. We all know that certain accusations are very damning (racism, Antisemitism, sexism, etc.) from the get-go, whether they end up being true or not. We are all familiar with leading questions and "questions" that are really just assertions hiding behind a question mark. I think the tone of the original post treads awfully close to that line, which is not saying that the post shouldn't exist or anything about Mt. 18.
David Fischler had sufficient information to fisk successfully a flatly inaccurate poster and ask good questions. That is all the information he needed in order to develop a solid, substantive post, one that gave good information to our readers.
Further, the church poster didn't raise "important questions worthy of debate" at all [my that sounds *so* much like TEC bloviators, and not like David Faulkner at all!]. ; > ) The poster made idiotic claims which David then proceeded to blow apart, publicly, and which brought to mind rather striking questions, which David also asked, publicly.
People have responded. The clarity is blinding as to where we all disagree on definitions of words, as well as on the poster, and we've been pleased at the result of David's original post, which has led to a professor simply announcing that he and Wheaton didn't write the poster without repudiating its content, and then some predictable huffy boilerplate using words with whose definitions we obviously do not agree.
You asked earlier in response to my question "Are there more like him at Wheaton? More what?"
But let's be clear about about my question. I asked "I'm now very curious as to how many other professors with Gary Burge's emphases and ideas are employed by Wheaton College."
Gary Burge's "emphases and ideas" are fairly obvious, I should think, by now. Everybody can see the video. Everybody can note the topic of the talk at the church, which is the problem with "Christian Zionism" [unless the claim now is that even the topic of "Christian Zionism" was entirely wrong.] And everybody can truck straight on over to Gary Burge's Wheaton College bio and learn more: http://www.wheaton.edu/Academics/Faculty/B/Gary-Burge
So how many other professors at Wheaton with those emphases and ideas are employed by Wheaton College? I'm genuinely curious, as an estimated percentage would give someone like me pretty good insight on the sheer *politics* of the faculty of that college [as never doubt that is much of what this is all about, rather than "theology" however much professors wish to knock down the strawman of "Zionism"]. I suspect that somebody or other will email us with some tidbits of information about that.
Sarah, fear not, I've not suffered a fall! I'm not about to drone on about "living into the tension" and that sort of stuff. Name calling, and on the Lord's Day!
Simple misunderstanding: I was rewording part of a comment that was deleted under the "don't question why a post exists" canon, and so I was intending to say that I understand that in light of the poster, there are important questions worthy of debate (hence, I'm not saying the post shouldn't exist), not that the poster says anything thoughtful or true. I have nothing nice to say about the poster! Sorry for the misunderstanding.
As to the Wheaton question: when I was there (8 years ago, now), Dr. Burge was the only faculty member I recall pressing us on issues of how to understand Israel. So, as far as I know, the answer is Dr. Burge is the professor with such emphases. Things could have changed since I left, but I'm unaware of some huge shift.
I still contend that the data available do not support the original post's headline. A headline questioning whether an entire college is teaming up with the entire PCUSA to slander Israel is quite the leap from one Wheaton professor giving a talk at one PCUSA parish where someone made an offensive poster. I'll admit "Wheaton Professor speaking at local PCUSA church that may be Antisemitic" isn't nearly as sexy as "PCUSA and Wheaton College Join in Slandering Israel?" but it's much, much closer to the truth.
From Sarah: "So how many other professors at Wheaton with those emphases and ideas are employed by Wheaton College? I'm genuinely curious, as an estimated percentage would give someone like me pretty good insight on the sheer *politics* of the faculty of that college [as never doubt that is much of what this is all about, rather than "theology" however much professors wish to knock down the strawman of "Zionism"]. I suspect that somebody or other will email us with some tidbits of information about that."
I am in fact a member of the Wheaton College faculty, in my thirtieth year of service to the institution. I know Gary as a colleague, though not at all well, have heard him speak in chapel, and have doubtless read occasional articles of his in CT and elsewhere, though I have not read his books. His is a distinctive faculty voice, whose opinions are far from universally shared either within his own department or beyond. I do not believe him to be anti-semitic, nor do I believe that his ideas are beyond criticism. Insofar as he tried to make people aware of the complexities of the Palestinian situation, and in particular has tried to highlight the peculiar plight of the Palestinian Christian community, he has done a service, helping people to at least consider realities beyond the black-and-white polarities of newspaper headlines. If, in attempting to correct some errors, he has swung too far in another direction and made errors of his own, his work should be open to critique, just like anyone else's.
I am tempted, perhaps mistakenly, to read into some of the commentary on this topic a general sense of suspicion about Wheaton College. Going beyond Sarah's immediate question about how many professors like Gary there might be, I want to share some of what I know very well about the institution and its faculty:
1. Wheaton's faculty are deeply committed to teaching that (to use two institutional clichés in the same sentence) profoundly integrates faith and learning, and regards all truth as God's truth. It's an approach that, if done with integrity, cannot and will not separate theology from sheer politics or sheer anything else. Individual faculty members may disagree about where theology may take them philosophically, politically, sociologically, or pedagogically, but the attempt to bring faith to bear on what is taught and how it is taught is genuine across the institution.
2. There are among Wheaton's faculty a fairly wide spectrum of political opinions, again informed by a sincere desire to think Christianly, although most of us are seriously concerned about the current drift of our national politics and culture. (Speaking personally, I am sometimes shocked by how much more conservative I have become in three decades here; I don't know if it's the result of living in this community, or if the leftward drift of TEC and the current administration in Washington just makes me appear more conservative than I once was.) I think it safe to say that we all recognize that our allegiance must not be to a political party or ideology, but to the Lord Himself.
3. Wheaton's faculty is full of men and women whose commitment to students is deep, extending far beyond the classroom. These professors are mentors and spiritual directors, willing to go the second mile in helping students grow in faith, learning and living.
4. Wheaton's faculty are committed to the local church and the church worldwide, and are people of prayer, who continually wrestle with their faith, and seek to grow in grace. There are a fairly large number of Anglicans among us, some of whom have paid a personal and professional cost in standing for truth and faithfulness. (I think of a close colleague whose husband — my current rector — was deposed by the TEC Diocese of Chicago, and of an administrator whose open stance on human sexuality has been the source of tremendous hostility towards him.)
4. Without exception, every single one of Wheaton's faculty members are sinners in need of the saving power of Jesus. We see this on a daily basis, and it creeps into our institutional politics just as it does elsewhere, causing us to fight amongst ourselves in ways we really oughtn't. (I think of the joke that's not really a joke to the effect that the reason academic battles are so intense is because the stakes are so small.)
I have been loved and supported and aggravated and disappointed and delighted and surprised and gratified by this community for going on thirty years. I believe that God is still at work at Wheaton, working sometimes through my faculty colleagues, and sometimes in spite of us. I and my colleagues need and covet continued support and prayer, that we may continue to be faithful, and not distracted from the tasks God has given us.
I trust and hope that this is ultimately germane to the current discussion, and provides some needed and constructive perspective.
It appears that Dr. Burge is following, knowingly or not, Alinsky's Rules For Radicals. He wants Pastor Fischler to practice "charity", which Dr. Burge seems to define as "Don't associate me with organizations with which I associate". He then, as noted by others, fails to disassociate himself from the contents of the poster.
I'll weigh in (admittedly, as a Wheaton alumnus but one who never had a class with Dr. Burge) in support of Fr. David M. Faulkner's criticism of the original headline. Taking one outside group's framing of a speaking engagement by a professor who teaches at Wheaton and imputing that framing to both the entire College and the entire PC(USA) is pure sensationalism. It seems to me that would be akin to picking up a retweet of a blog post by an Episcopal priest and imputing it to the whole of TEC, Google (via its ownership of Blogger), and Twitter. It's perhaps even more egregious, given the traditional ideological leeway given tenured professors under the auspices of academic freedom.
The separate questions raised by Sarah and addressed by DuPage Anglican in the comments of whether Dr. Burge's views on this question are typical among the Wheaton faculty or have in some way been endorsed or adopted by the College as a whole, or whether his presence on the faculty says anything about the state of the College, are good ones, but they're wholly different questions from that suggested by the headline.
But the headline was a question, not an assertion. And the question is legitimate. At what point should Wheaton and the PCUSA disassociate themselves from certain groups and events? At what point is the group or event so egregious that merely participating suffices for others to infer approval of the group's or event's goals?
This does not require a vast network of Wheaton lawyers monitoring every poster that contains the name of the college. But there should be some groups that Wheaton knows require some attention, because they are more likely to be troublesome. Hence my thought experiment in comment [13].
RE: "I am tempted, perhaps mistakenly, to read into some of the commentary on this topic a general sense of suspicion about Wheaton College."
Hi DuPage Anglican, thank you for your thoughtful and helpful comment. I had been inclined to think very favorably of Wheaton College until running across this specific matter [keep in mind that we Episcopalians have to deal with the likes of General and various other fruitcake seminaries, though blessedly they are all dying and closing, under the guise of "other teaching modalities"].
Just to be clear, I don't think Gary Burge is "anti-semitic"—I think that phrase is sometimes thrown around too much [unless someone is actually anti-semitic—see Fischler's series on Facebook hate speech which provides clear examples of anti-semitism], just as I think the phrase "zionist" is thrown around too much to describe whole swathes of normal Reformed or even non-religious people who show diplomatic and foreign policy favor to the one sane and functional country in the Middle East—a democratic republic to boot.
On a more humorous note, in regard to being classified on the political and theological spectrum . . . on any scale *other than* the Episcopal one, I am considered a "kindly moderate" theologically by my Baptist, Presbyterian, and free-church friends—someone who may be a touch too soft-hearted and sometimes even a ghastly shade of "liberal"—though lovable.
I find that richly ironic since of course "who I am" over here in Episcopal-loony-tunes-asylum-land is The Meanest Most Awfullest Most Divisive Most Right-Wing Extremist EVER, Like Really You Guys.
Ameryx, maybe this particular PCUSA congregation has a reputation as notorious as Westboro; I don't recall hearing about it one way or the other during my time at Wheaton. If it were so, then perhaps you'd have a point there, and Wheaton would do well to pay special attention to interactions between its faculty and such a hotbed of intolerance and bile right around the corner.
My point is that there's a significant (though not absolute) distance between a poster on a bulletin board or website and the official endorsement of Wheaton College or the PCUSA. This isn't a chapel address or even an on-campus lecture sponsored by an outside group.
Of course, I'm mostly concerned about the imputation of the poster's language to Wheaton. The PCUSA General Assembly might approve language that approaches this, given some of the positions they've taken lately on divestment, etc. I don't know.
But if every Christian college had to monitor outside groups' characterizations of its professors' political views, I think it would require that team of lawyers you mentioned.
In Wheaton's defense, the only mention I saw on the poster was a reference to Dr. Burge's position on their faculty, which is a statement of fact. It is very difficult to prevent anyone from publishing a fact in any medium. If it were, KJS's lawyers would be all over Stand Firm every time they mentioned her name, and that she is PB of TEC.
I think, however, that it is not out of the ballpark to question whether, when a professor makes a public speech in a field he teaches, he is representing the subject in that venue the same way he represents it in the classroom. Does Dr. Burge disparage (in my opinion) Orthodox Jews in his classroom the same way he does on the video Jackie posted in #6? Does he present his views of the State of Israel? If so, are those views expressed in the video reflective of those of Wheaton College as a whole. or one professor, or perhaps an entire academic department? Does Wheaton College allow this sort of thing, or does it impose a more rigorous academic standard than Dr. Burge encounters in his speaking engagements?
Why would anyone care? Well, the reading audience here includes a whole lot of vestry members, rectors, pastors, bishops. And they all have an interest in what seminaries and religious colleges are teaching, because the graduates of those institutions are sending them resumes. And of course we all know that bad schools sometimes turn out excellent students, and the best schools can have some terrible students (2 of the most revisionist of my acquaintances graduated Nashotah 30 years ago).
Adding to the point at [19], Rob Bell also went to Wheaton.
On a slightly personal note, there was a job opening recently at Wheaton that was in my field. In the past, I might have applied for it. I did not, primarily because of relocation and the fact that I simply was not looking for a professional move right now. But an additional factor was an unease about where Wheaton may be heading as an institution - an unease that I did not have until this year. I don't want to be unfair to the college. My perception changed when I realized that even solid Evangelical institutions are still human and fallible, a much more realistic view than I had previously. But I would be looking very closely at the direction of the college had I chosen to apply.
Jeff, [17]
Then we are in agreement that there is a degree of egregiousness sufficient to require Dr. Burge, Wheaton, and PCUSA, to distance themselves from a particular organization or event. The question becomes: where is that demarcation line?
I return to my defense of the headline for the original article, which effectively asked that question in relation to a specific event/group. I consider it a question worth asking. Perhaps, perhaps, Wheaton and PCUSA will ask its employees, when speaking at outside functions, to make clear that the participation of the employee in no way constitutes endorsement by Wheaton or PCUSA. Perhaps Dr. Burge will decide to require groups where he appears to include a similar disclaimer on his behalf in their promotional material. We have all seen such disclaimers attached to articles in magazines and newspapers. Such disclaimers are routine in the corporate world.
This discussion would never have taken place had the initial question itself been forbidden; which is why I have no problem with the article or the headline.
Ameryx, after reading the article, I understood what the situation was, why questions were raised about what exactly this Wheaton professor was going to say, and whether Wheaton should take any action to monitor its employees' speaking engagements.
Before I read the article (but after reading the headline), I thought that perhaps Wheaton College and the PCUSA had issued a joint press release slandering Israel, or perhaps cosponsored an event at which infamous Israel-slanderers would appear and speak.
At most, even if the worst about Dr. Burge and this congregation proved true, the most that could possibly be said is that Wheaton College tolerates a member of its faculty with a habit of slandering Israel, and that the PCUSA tolerates one of its congregations hosting speakers who slander Israel. In no way is either institution "joining" in slandering Israel. The headline, even in question form, goes much further than the facts here.
I've conceded that there might be circumstances under which toleration might justify criticism of the parent organization, whether that's an employer or a denomination. But that criticism would be based on the toleration, not on the parent organization "joining" the employee's or congregation's action.
Wheaton has dismissed professors in the past when they've "gone off the reservation," so to speak. We can have a discussion about whether its standards for doing so are appropriately rigorous or not. But that still doesn't support the headline. An accurate headline might have been "Does Wheaton College Know One of its Professors Is Slandering Israel?" or "Is Wheaton College Okay with Its Professors Slandering Israel?" As David Faulkner said above (in [11]):
And I should point out again that I have no problem with David Fischler's fisking, or the questions he raises. All of that seems entirely appropriate to me. Here are his last two paragraphs:
All that's fine. But the "'splainin'" is not about "joining" in the slandering, but rather in (potentially) tolerating it from a member of the faculty.
Hi, give Dr. Burge a rest. While the Scripture teaches that the Jews will be saved in the end, (Rom 11,) they teach that right now Israel is still in rebellion against their Messiah and are still in the penalyty box and are Lo Ami. Zionissim is a secular polital position, but a nation based on ethnic principles will always lead to ethnic cleansing as under Nazi Germany and many African countries. Many of the Arabs in Israel are Christians. Israel is against any Christian evangelism. Bruge's conflict with the students in Jerusalem remind me of the Lord dealing with the Pharases. The two groups are very similar. We should love the Jews and pray for their conversion and the peace of Jerusalem, but that doesn't give them a pass in their dealings with others who hapen to be in Palestine. Now some dispensationalist fundamentalist will disagree with that. IMHO

Fake bin Laden videos contain malware, FBI warns
Scammers use global interest in Al Qaeda leader's death to attack Internet users
By Robert McMillan | Published: 11:07, 04 May 2011
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warned computer users Tuesday that messages claiming to include photos and videos of Osama bin Laden's death actually contain a virus that could steal personal information.
The warning comes as security companies said that they've spotted the first samples of malicious software disguised as photos of the dead Al Qaeda leader.
Security vendor F-Secure said Tuesday that criminals are emailing a password-stealing Trojan horse program called Banload to victims, and Symantec said it's seen criminals spamming victims with links to fake "Osama dead" news articles that launch web-based attacks on visitors.

US authorities do have photos of bin Laden, who was shot in the head during an early morning raid Monday in Pakistan. But these photos have not been released publicly.
Scammers have also used a technique called search engine poisoning to try to trick search engines into listing hacked web pages that are loaded with malware in their search results. "It's unlikely you'll find pictures or videos of Bin Laden's death online - but searching for one will certainly take you to sites with malware," wrote F-Secure chief research officer Mikko Hyponnen in a blog post.
The FBI warned Internet users to watch out for fake messages on social network sites and to never download software in order to view a video. "Read emails you receive carefully. Fraudulent messages often feature misspellings, poor grammar, and non-standard English," the FBI warning stated.
As a major international news event, bin Laden's death has shown the amazing way information can spread online. Many learned of the terrorist leader's death through Twitter, where the story first broke, or Facebook. But it also underscores how the unfiltered media can quickly spread bad information worldwide.
In the two days since the early morning raid, the bin Laden story has generated fake photographs, fake quotes, and plenty of scams.
Security experts said that shady marketers and so-called rogue antivirus vendors have also jumped on the bin Laden bandwagon. The rogue antivirus software bombards victims with pop-up messages telling them they have a computer problem. Its aim: to nag them into paying for bogus software.
Shady marketers are spreading messages on Facebook that try to lure victims into spreading the message to friends and visiting marketing websites, by claiming they have a censored video.

'Cong-BJP responsible for discrimination against Jammu'
JAMMU, Nov 25: Peoples Democratic Party under the leadership of its leader Kuljeet Singh Jamwal today organized a 'Pad Yatra' in Ward No. 2 of Jammu city raising slogans against the government for its failure to address the problems of common masses.

Why do people overreach? Greed, vanity, desire to have or to demonstrate power, laziness, fear, ideology, religious dogma, social convention. Probably other reasons. Overreaching is always a refusal of responsibility. In many cases, the cases named herein, "overreaching" may also be said to be caused by the very human desire not to be disturbed from doing what has become customary, easy, regular, normal, and "of right".
One of the very hardest things to do is to come to grips with the fact that something we do "as of right" is a great "wrong".

Perkins Eastman's design for the recently completed 10,000 sm, 10-storey building on the Nanjing University Campus, a joint venture with The Johns Hopkins University, includes classrooms, lecture space, faculty residences, and student lounges located on a border of the campus. The unique façade, a fusion of terracotta, limestone, and glass, creates continuity with the older campus buildings, juxtaposing solidity with openness. Four-storey glass walls define both the courtyard on the campus-facing side of the building and a plaza on the public-facing side, giving visibility to the active circulation areas. The structural glass panes are attached with spider clips so that mullions do not block the view of the landscape and pool.
The upper floors of the building feature banded windows in the faculty apartments, avoiding a typical dormitory or residential style so that the building aesthetic remains academic, and public and private spaces are clearly differentiated. At one corner, a glass tower creates expansive views to the city beyond the campus and, when lit at night, creates a visual beacon. The floor plates behind the glass wall have a shadow box detail which gives a seamless appearance by concealing the joints between the floor plates and the walls. An auditorium located in an adjacent structure within the courtyard features a curving metal roof which folds down into the glass atrium to form a wall between the two buildings.
