Just a week away from the official kickoff of the South Beach Wine and Food Festival and the sideshow events are pouring in. Among them, Spike Mendelsohn's first ever Let's Get Spiked: Chef Volleyball Tournament, sponsored by Foods from Chile and taking place from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Friday, February 22nd at the James Royal Palm Hotel on South Beach. Confirmed players include Chuck Hughes, Alex Guarnaschelli, Andrew Zimmern, Tim Love, Johnny Iuzzini, Stephanie Izard, Pat LaFrieda, Marcel Vigneron, Jeff Mauro, Kris Wessel, Josh Capon, Justin Warner, Todd Erickson, Adrianne Calvo and Alberto Cabrera. The event is open to the public and should be amusing to say the least. Just ask Zimmern, a guy who's more used to ingesting balls as opposed to spiking them, who told us, "Surprise, here is a sports tournament featuring the worst athletes in the world. I fit right in. I am thrilled Spike is hosting a tourney in a sport he's good at, that no one else plays. He needs a win. And I will give it to him!"
We also asked Mendelsohn how he can compete with the recent model volleyball tournament on South Beach to which he replied, "Well, six packs will be considered beers instead of muscles. Everyone will be well fed - no protein bars- and we will probably use a quarter of the sun tan lotion that they used. We are all looking forward to this celebrity chef volleyball tourney, it gives us a chance to take the smack talk out of the kitchen and onto the beach at the James Hotel. I'm sure our skills will look more like a blooper reel compared to the models. SOBE Chefs versus Models 2014, anyone?"

The DOD is trying to reduce the number of errors and omissions on bids from companies by providing a checklist highlighting common shortcomings. (Stock image)
With a new checklist, Defense Department officials are putting the onus on companies to fill out bid proposals thoroughly and accurately. They expect the new list will help the department avoid the hassle and cost of sending proposals back because of errors and incomplete forms.
The objective of the "adequacy checklist" is ensuring that bidders submit polished proposals.
"This provision results from a long history of incomplete proposals resulting in rework and lost time, and it aims to achieve cost savings by improving initial proposal submissions from contractors," officials wrote in a Federal Register notice published March 28. The amendment to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) took effect the same day. (Read the final rule.)
The checklist is for defense contractors to complete as they respond to solicitations that require certified cost or pricing data. It's 36 items cover a range of issues, such as whether the title page complies with regulations and whether they have identified potential excessive pass-through charges, for example. The checklist asks questions about cost estimates, exceptions to pricing data, and direct and indirect costs in the proposal.
In part, officials want to increase uniformity across DOD, minimize local variations on rules, and thereby decrease proposal preparation costs. The rule was first proposed in December 2, 2011. Officials say the rule aligns with the Defense Department's Better Buying Power initiative's goal of reducing costs.
Officials consider the new rule a time- and money-saver too.
"This provision should result in cost savings by improving initial proposal submissions from offerors and reduce the amount of rework and resubmissions," officials wrote in their notice.
The checklist created by this rule is a DFARS provision. Any checklist that the Defense Contract Audit Agency currently uses is outside the scope of the rule.

I'm more than a lapsed, Netflix-watching, pour-over coffee drinking Lutheran. Or am I?
1. Seek God Any relationship that puts seeking God as a priority will find that it has an endurance and strength that is unmatched.
It's really easy for us to complain about stupid things that don't really matter.
My wife is constantly putting another man before me. He's a lot older than I am, somehow always provides her comfort in her time of need, and continues to give her wisdom that surpasses anything I could possibly comprehend.
In many ways, my adult life can be defined by the lengths I've gone to avoid the tyranny of a conventional 9-5 job.
I believe the main reason that the younger generation is abandoning Christianity is the fact that they simply can't relate to Jesus Christ's fashion sensibilities. Let's face it—the "Jeez Steez" is totally early 90s, totally "grunge": Ewww!
It's a matter of posture, a mode of standing in the world, towards the world, towards your self: a question of what you seek, I suppose, even if what you seek is the end of seeking.
And though Jesus had made the two women, composed their breasts from nothing, even caused the sun to rise and give them that slightest twinge of brown, he couldn't help but regret making their forms so healthy.
I'm not going to lie and say that birth control is not most commonly used for preventing pregnancy, but — a woman's right to her own freaking sexuality aside — denying a woman with severe endometriosis access to much needed birth control is downright cruel. It's wrong, plain and simple. And it isn't my brand of Christianity.
I knew I would lose most of my friends when I became an atheist, and it took me about three years to be able to publicly admit my new belief. I'm still nervous.

Cleaning the top of Wolf range?
For those who own a Wolf range - I was at the appliance shop looking at a Wolf 30" All Gas Range and couldn't figure out why the burner drip pan isn't all one piece. Instead, they have three separate pieces (one for the left front/back burners, one for the right front/back burners, and a middle piece). Where the front and back of each of these meet the stainless steel frame, there is another seam. So, when grease, water, or salt is spilled and finds it's way into these seams, it will be a pain to clean or worse, a potential hazard. Does anyone have any experience with this?
We have a 36" Wolf AG (circa '04), so I'm not sure if the 30" has the same basic design or not. The burner drip pans on ours can be removed and washed in the sink. Some prefer this to sealed burners, others prefer sealed burners. Makes it very easy to clean the "seams."
I agree with Teachmkt. I don't have a Wolf range, but I have read here several times on this forum that people like the drip pan that has several pieces. It makes them very easy to take to the sink to clean, or put in the dishwasher. You could also put a layer of foil on there, and discard it when it gets soiled, so you won't have to worry about cleaning the drip pan at all. The open burner won't have the burn-on stains that a sealed burner cooktop has. I myself have a sealed burner range, and it works fine, but there are some permanent rings and marks from burn-on, which are impossible to avoid in a sealed burner arrangement.
I wasn't concerned about keeping the drip pans clean - it was where the drip pans meet the sides of the stove along the front, back, and sides as well as where they overlap in the middle. If something should spill and go down into any of those cracks (especially in any quantity) it would make a mess. If it was grease, there's the potential for it to collect on something below that's hot enough to create a fire.
Sorry I misunderstood your question. Your subject line and your first description led me to think you were asking about the top of the range and the drip pans. So, in answer to your question, I can say that I've been on this forum for years, and this is the first time your question has come up that I know of, if that's any help to you. I've just never read anyone complaining about the Wolf ranges having a cleaning issue where the drip pans meet the inner sides of the stoves, and certainly never read anything about a fire hazard. Even the biggest critics of Wolf agree that Wolf's fit and finish is about the best there is. I think you are over-worrying and over-thinking on this issue. Just my $.02.
Not sure if I misunderstood also, but here's another try: The sides of the drip pans and the opposing stove sides can be easily cleaned when the drip pans are removed. While Wolf may have changed the configuration, as with most pro style ranges with open burners there is a large drip tray beneath the entire range top that catches spillovers. In 6 years of daily cooking we've only had a couple of spills ever reach the tray, and it's on rollers and slides out for easy cleaning and removal. The area below the drip trays is pretty sparse: burners, gas lines and some supports that we clean out every year if we think of it, but nothing accumulates that remotely could catch on fire. Since you seem to have some major safety concerns, then perhaps a sealed top would be more appealing. However if you have a major grease/oil spill on a sealed top, and the oil is pretty hot and an on burner is able to flash the oil, you've a real kitchen fire on your hands. An unlikely scenario in my estimation, but still possible.
I've had a Wolf 30" for 15 years and do have problems with cleaning the "porcelain" (it's more of a coating) on the drip pans. Food seems to burn on and I've tried everything from Easy Off to 409....never any scouring powders for fear of scratching the surface. Nothing seems to work particularly well to get a gleaming surface. What works for you?

In February, the transit agency launched frequent service on its core lines, added weekend service and lengthened some hours of service. The changes slated for June will increase system efficiency through route realignments and will result in better service for customers. Enhancements include a new crosstown route on Indianapolis's north side, extending routes to serve more destinations, improving connections and frequency, and offering more direct service.
"With additional funds through the city-county council-approved 2013 budget, IndyGo is able to make strategic investments in our mass transit service," said IndyGo President/CEO Michael Terry. "The changes for 2013 will help strengthen highly traveled transit corridors and offer better connections for route transfers, frequency improvements and higher productivity."
Improvements to the IndyGo system are guided by the Indy Connect bus plan, an intensive analysis of current IndyGo operations, ridership, population and employment density.
Most notable of the service changes for June is the addition of one new route. Route 86 — 86th St. Crosstown will operate between Trader's Point on the northwest side and Community Hospital North on the northeast side. The new service will connect with seven existing IndyGo routes and will serve the 86th St./82nd St. corridor with half hour frequency six days a week.
The implementation of June enhancements represents the majority of adjustments in IndyGo's ambitious 2013 service improvement plan. The agency continually monitors the performance of its routes and makes changes to timetables and routing in February, June and October each year.
Aside from changes to the bus network, later this year IndyGo plans to implement significant technology upgrades that will greatly enhance the customer experience and attract new riders. Through competitive grants, IndyGo has secured some of the money required to deploy enhanced customer information services. Real-time bus arrival information could allow customers to text message IndyGo for up-to-the-minute details on bus schedule adherence, detour alerts and stop closures.
The real-time project could also offer access to enhanced customer service information 24 hours a day through an automated phone system, a new web information system, on-street customer information at major downtown stops and even smart phone apps.
RELATED ARTICLE: Check out, "IndyGo growth continues with new services."
The CTfastrak transit system provides direct service to and from Waterbury, Cheshire, Southington, Bristol, Plainville, New Britain, Newington, West Hartford, Hartford, East Hartford and Manchester with routes that take advantage of the bus-only CTfastrak roadway.
ABQ RIDE is looking to model its plan after the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's HealthLine, which is sponsored through a hospital partnership. Construction on the so-called ART system could begin in May 2016 with an in-service date of September 2017.
The service, which costs $6 a ride, asks riders to download the Leap app, creating an account, uploading a photo and adding a credit card that enables them to pay via a QR code.
Agencies ordering the company's products, which are now in at least half of all new U.S. and Canadian transit buses, include L.A. Metro, Chicago Transit Authority and New York City Transit.
The contract includes a firm order for 35 XN40 and 20 XN60 Xcelsior buses, with an option for another 150 XN40 and 100 XN60 over the next five years. All buses are to be powered by CNG.

My name is Sebastien Hue, I'm from France and live in Paris' suburb. I'm proudly member of the International Art group "The Luminarium" and I'm the author, composer of my own metal band called 13-Digits. We released an EP album last year and this is what pushed me to learn and develop skills in graphic design for the artworks and the logo of the band. I discovered the awesome possibilities of photoshop and its digital universe, and practised more and more on my own with great interests in Space art and Matte painting. I really enjoy mixing both genres and aim at creating epic backgrounds and environments which the viewer can project himself into. I've been sollicitated by the Oracom group (Advanced Creation Photoshop) to make several tutorials for the magazine and books, and is opened for commission if my work pleases you. I tend to become more and more accurate in my art and wish to become inspiring for other artists.May 8th, 2011

I am a freelancer and I will be available if I will make it work. I love raster/pixel/traditional arts before but my current focus now is vector arts. Why vector arts? Because for me vector art is a mathematical digital art not based on pixel. It means the art is resizable without losing or gaining any details and features, flexible for more shapes manipulation, quick edit for changing and limiting the numbers of colors, effects and more. My goal path: Raster -> Vector -> 3D -> Effects -> Animation -> Mixed -> Tools Development.

This conference will constructively grapple with difficult questions at the intersection of Christian orthodoxy and evolutionary science.If humanity emerged from non-human primates (as genetic, biological, and archaeological evidence seems to suggest) then what are the implications for Christian theology's traditional account of origins, including both the origin of humanity and the origin of sin? The integrity of the church's witness requires that we constructively address these difficult questions. We believe that cultivating an orthodox theological imagination can enable us to engage these tensions without simply giving up on confessional orthodoxy. This conference, and the interdisciplinary team behind it, sees the church's ancient wisdom as a model and template for how to faithfully grapple with contemporary challenges. Theological tradition is a resource in the face of such challenges, not a millstone.We also believe resources for constructive theological imagination are carried in the liturgical heritage of the church—in the worship practices and spiritual disciplines that enact the biblical story in ways that seep into our imagination, helping us see creative ways forward through this challenge.
This conference is sponsored by The Colossian Forum with support from the BioLogos Foundation, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, and The Stead Center for Ethics and Values. We express our gratitude to these institutions for their investment in this important conversation.

William Cavanaugh (Professor of Catholic Studies, DePaul University)Political Science and the Fall: Original Sin and the State of NatureIt is not only natural science but political science that makes the Fall seem improbable. One of the central problems of medieval political theory was to explain how humans were to live together in a post-lapsarian world. Figures such as Thomas Hobbes and John Locke begin with a state of nature instead of the Fall, laying the groundwork for a political system divorced from theology, where the marginalization of the church from politics accompanies the marginalization of theology from science.
Celia Deane-Drummond (Professor of Theology, University of Notre Dame)In Adam All Die? Questions at the Boundary of Niche Construction, Community Evolution and Original Sin.It is impossible to make a literal Eden, with its portrait of a perfected and immortal humanity, cohere with modern evolutionary accounts of the earliest human origins. Niche construction theory, among other contemporary developments, suggests that Eden might instead be viewed as representative of a pre-lapsarian, collective flourishing life with God, and the Fall as a significant break in the dynamic interrelationship between the divine and human.
Darrel Falk (Professor of Biology, Point Loma Nazarene University)Human Origins: A Summary of the Scientific Backdrop for Theological DiscussionRecent genetic and paleoanthropological analysis suggests that communities of modern humans arose in Africa about 200,000 years ago. A few thousand founding individuals migrated across the Sinai Peninsula and into the rest of the world beginning about 60,000 years ago. This evidence of communal pre-human ancestry raises important questions about (though it does not preclude) a traditional Christian understanding of monogenism and of a historic couple, Adam and Eve.
Joel Green (Professor of New Testament Interpretation, Fuller Theological Seminary)"Adam, What Have You Done?" New Testament Voices on the Origins of SinIn the period of second temple Judaism, Adam's sin marked the downfall of all who would come after him. How this is so is not easily summarized with reference to the later, Christian notion of "original sin," however, since Jewish theologians were careful to write of human choices and actions, volition and responsibility. A survey of New Testament era literature fails to reveal an event we might term "the fall," though we do find related emphases on sin's universality and practical inevitability.
Peter Harrison (Professor of History of Science, The University of Queensland, Australia)Is Science-Religion Conflict Always a Bad thing? Some Augustinian ReflectionsConflict between science and religion is almost always perceived negatively. It is possible, however, that "good" conflict might result from a so-called "weak" eirenic position, which holds that concord between science and religion is very much a matter of historical contingency. In the case of evolutionary theory, this stance prompts us to look closely at the details of various scientific claims without undue pressure to adapt Christian thinking to all aspects of a general theory.
J. Richard Middleton (Professor of Biblical Worldview and Exegesis, Northeastern Seminary)Reading Genesis 3 Attentive to Human Evolution: Beyond Concordism and Non-Overlapping MagisteriaA re-reading of the narrative of Genesis 3 with awareness of hominin/human evolution might open up new avenues of doctrinal interpretation. A thick description of the text's theological motifs, from the divergent accounts of human creation in Genesis 1 and 2 through to the effects and spread of sin, prevents our being immediately overwhelmed by the claims of contemporary science.
Aaron Riches (Professor of Theology/Ethics, International Academy of Philosophy, Granada)From Ad Nihilum to Ex Nihilo: Evolution and the Christian RevolutionThis Christological recapitulation examines three traditional doctrines: (1) the "special creation" of the human being, according to which "every spiritual soul is created immediately by God – it is not 'produced' by the parents;" (2) the "personal" reality of Adam and Eve, who are the universal "first parents" of all human beings; and (3) the sense of the Fall as an "event" of history, "a deed that took place at the beginning of the history of man."
James K.A. Smith (Professor of Philosophy, Calvin College)What Stands on the Fall? A Philosophical ExplorationDoes absorbing an evolutionary account of human origins necessarily preclude the continued affirmation of a "historical" Fall? This thought-project in philosophical theology lays out issues that are at stake in the historic doctrine of original sin and the received notion of an historical Fall, and explores the nature of "history" in any notion of a "historic" Fall.
Brent Waters (Professor of Bioethics/Theology, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary)Being All We Should Have Been and More: The Fall and the Quest for PerfectionHowever one interprets the story of the Fall, the basic storyline is that the human condition is not as it should be and is in need of correction. One contemporary attempt to overcome the limitations endemic to the human condition holds to the belief that reason, science, and technology can be used to redirect evolution in order to create the posthuman. Posthumanism, however, substitutes nature for creation, technology for salvation, and immortality for eschatological hope, leaving one with a narrative devoid of grace and forgiveness.
Norman Wirzba (Professor of Theology/Ecology, Duke Divinity School)From Nature to Creation: A Theological Approach to the WorldA Christological narration of creation represents a profound challenge to contemporary accounts of nature as realm of unremitting struggle and competition. Theoria physice, as described by Maximus the Confessor, gives rise to a striking vision of the world as the material expression of God's love, presupposing an ethos and an askesis in which human passions are purified so that each creature can be met and seen to be the unique gift that it is.
Paul Allen (Associate Professor, Dept. of Theological Studies, Concordia University, Canada)Reforming Natural Theology: Christocentrism and Evolutionary Theological Anthropology
In this paper, I argue that the christocentric turn in contemporary theology should be more coherent with the historical enterprise of natural theology. However, natural theology needs to be further developed in order to take the reality of sin into account so that the means of our salvation and the paradoxical, created order can be understood together rather than apart. I argue that Augustine's account of the sinful consequences of natural human predispositions can be correlated with contemporary research on the evolutionary reasons for human behaviour. Natural theology ought to reflect on the soteriological question that is built into the paradox of the human. Complementary to a theology of atonement, natural theology anticipates the sinful conditions that necessitate salvation by not only describing sin but also partly explaining its natural origins.
David Congdon (Associate Editor, IVP Academic)Evolution, Ontology, and Love: Toward a Postmetaphysical Hamartiology and Soteriology
Ancient Christian theologians believed that the sin of the primal couple resulted in the corruption of the body and that this corruption was passed on from parent to child. The western tradition of Augustine expanded the corruption to include the soul. In this paper I argue (a) that both corruptions are theologically valid but should be kept separate, (b) that the corruption of the body should be assigned to science and the soul to theology, and (c) that an actualistic ontology can help explain both corruptions. Whereas body-soul corruption is traditionally understood as a "sin nature" that is ontologically essential to all persons and so determines in advance each person's historical existence, an actualistic ontology understands being in terms of act. Being is always being-in-becoming. This allows for a more nuanced anthropology in both evolutionary and theological perspective.
Ernst Conradie (Senior Professor, Dept. of Religion and Theology, University of the Western Cape, South Africa)Eat or be Eaten: The evolutionary roots of violence?
Where have things gone wrong in the evolution of life on earth? Is there a sense in which nature too has to be redeemed, for example with reference to the violence and brutality that characterise relationships between animals? Would an emphasis on human sin as source of suffering not underestimate the problem of natural suffering? In this contribution I will explore the roots of inter-species violence with reference to the emergence of the act of eating in evolutionary history. I will draw on a corpus of literature on the consumption of food in recent Christian ecotheology in order to address the following question: Is there a way in which eating can be understood without such violence? From an eschatological perspective the Eucharistic emphasis on eating bread and drinking wine seems to suggest relatively little violence. However, can this also be sustained protologically?
Phillip Goggans (Adjunct Professor of Philosophy, Morehead State University)Patrick McDonald (Assistant Professor, Dept. of Philosophy, Seattle Pacific University)A Moderate Classical Vision of Original Sin in Light of Human Evolution
Our current understanding of human origins does not easily square with an important Christian teaching: that human beings willfully damaged their faculties of desire, emotion, and capacities to know and love God; that they transmit the damage by generation. Evolutionary study suggests our nature, flawed or not, is simply a biological inheritance. The difficulty we have living in fellowship with God is no one's fault. Nature did not breed us for that; she bred us to survive. Why, then, did God enlist Nature to make us, seeing that she is so indifferent to his intentions? We argue that evolutionary theory is consistent, even harmonious, with the claim that we are responsible for our wayward nature. God always loved us and embraced us, but we, in return, never fully accepted him. Our increasing cognitive capacity enabled us to know God more intimately, but we declined to do so. We did not leave a paradisal state. We did not introduce a pristine nature to concupiscence. Rather, we took a different path from what God intended for us. Our sinfulness effected flawed social structures, which then influenced adaptive genetic development. Such adaptation required accommodation to corrupted social structures and so human nature on multiple levels – biological, cultural, and possibly spiritual – was itself corrupted.
Loren Haarsma (Associate Professor of Physics, Calvin College)When Did Sin Begin?
Scholars have proposed several competing scenarios for harmonizing the doctrine of original sin with scientific discoveries about human origins, including: (1) Adam and Eve as recent (~10,000 years ago) representatives, not ancestors, of humanity; (2) as ancient (~200,000 years) representative-ancestors of humanity; (3) as symbolic of many acts of disobedience by many individuals over the long period. These scenarios share a central theological core affirming God's goodness, sin as rebellion, and atonement through Christ. They disagree about some long-standing theological questions, including: How advanced were the first humans who sinned? Was a state of fully developed moral righteousness actual or potential? Was human sin unavoidable? Did disobedience damage human nature all in a single disobedient act (or pair of acts) or through accumulation of many disobedient acts? I will discuss how different preferred answers to questions such as these push scholars to favor different scenarios.
Joshua Lee Harris (PhD Student, Institute for Christian Studies, Canada)Augustine's Christological Understanding of Death
Many recent attempts to reconcile modern scientific data with the biblical narrative of the Fall draw a distinction between so-called "physical" death and "spiritual" death—the former being a "natural" part of God's good created order even before the Fall, and the latter being the "wages of sin" that is unique to our post-lapsarian world. In this paper, I follow Augustine's direction in his Homilies on the Gospel of John in order to work out the meaning of spiritual death in a specifically Christological manner. As Augustine implies, I argue, not only is "spiritual" death distinctively post-lapsarian, it is—like its counterpart, "life"—only intelligible in light of Christ's life, death and resurrection.
Matthew Hill (Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Spring Arbor University)Free Will, Human Evolution, and the Fall: How Biological Predispositions Impact Culpability and the Church
Drawing on themes from my forthcoming book, Evolution and Holiness (IVP Academic, 2015), I will address how evolutionary constraints on an individual's behavior impact human freedom and responsibility, especially in regards to the Fall and holiness. In other words, in light of evolutionary theory and natural selection, one cannot merely ask an individual to "be moral" or "be holy." Instead, individuals reside in many locations on the spectrum of biological and environmental constraint. The heart of this presentation addresses the capacity in which organic and human freedom operates—from before the Fall to becoming holy—and how we can theologically understand the notion of freedom while adopting a sociobiological viewpoint. Our perspective of these issues impacts not only how we view moral culpability and the possibility of holiness, but also the role and function of ecclesial communities.
Dru Johnson (Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies, The King's College, New York City)Knowledge, Sex, and Humanity: Genesis 2-4 as an Epistemic Argument
This paper contends that Genesis 2–4 portrays distinctly human knowers, based on the epistemological crux of those narratives. If macroevolutionary theory concerns itself with reproduction, propagation, and environmental fit, so too does the narrator of Genesis. In Genesis, however, the stories interlock sexual knowledge with human epistemology, and that emphasis has rarely been explored. I will argue that humanity, as we experience it today, is the center of the epistemology described in Genesis and commensurate to the scientific epistemology of Michael Polanyi. The biblical account, like the scientific enterprise, presumes authoritative voices, rituals, and sexuality as constituent parts of knowing. If Genesis offers anything resembling a scientific epistemology, then it appears difficult to construe the creation as presuming anything other than irreducibly human knowers propagating. In other words, the primeval account might be just as interested in prescribing knowing as describing the sexual conditions that render humans intelligible to themselves.
Gary Keogh (Samuel Ferguson Research Associate, University of Manchester, United Kingdom)Original Sin as the Interlocutor between The Fall and Evolutionary Theory
The issue of the fall becomes quite difficult to address in an evolutionary context. In this paper, I will argue that the more dominant asymmetrical or chronological vision of the fall (created goodness followed by evil) as expressed in an Augustinian tradition is untenable in the context of evolution. However, this is not reason to consign Augustinian theology to the dustbins of history. Rather, it is an opportunity to explore and re-evaluate traditions in light of a changing context and changing appreciation of science and nature. I argue that the Augustinian notion of a fall has strong parallels with Darwinian appreciations of human nature – an innate self-centeredness. Ultimately then, this paper seeks to view the orthodox tradition of the fall not in a kind of asymmetrical or chronological framework but as a condition which we are emerging from.
Chelsea King (ThM Student, Boston College – School of Theology and Ministry)Paradise without Perfection: Recovering the Eastern Patristic Imagination for Theological Anthropology
In this paper, I argue that retrieving an Eastern Patristic anthropology can help Western theologians to recognize what the deeper concepts that a fall from paradise is trying to protect: divine goodness and human freedom. I argue that a fall from paradise need not imply a fall from perfection, for some Eastern theologians have maintained a strict understanding of divine goodness and human freedom, without putting forward a state of perfection. I finally conclude that a recovery of Eastern anthropology can help theology as a whole to engage in a more meaningful dialogue with the current theories of human evolution.
Denis Lamoureux (Associate Professor of Science and Religion, University of Alberta – St. Joseph's College, Canada)Original Sin Revisited: Is a Theological Paradigm Shift Inevitable?
This paper unfolds in three parts. First, I will examine some of the most important documents in church history dealing with the doctrine of original sin in order to feel the weight of questioning the historicity of Adam and by implication the truthfulness of this foundational doctrine. Second, biblical passages by the apostle Paul related to original sin are presented to further intensify the gravity of this problem. Finally, I will offer one approach toward a possible solution of moving beyond the historicity of Adam and the traditional doctrine of original sin. I will assume an evolutionary creationist view of human origins as well as a non-concordist hermeneutic of biblical passages dealing with the creation of the natural world. Furthermore, by embracing a biblically-based approach to natural revelation (theology), I will attempt to cast human sinfulness within the framework of an evangelical Christian evolutionary psychology.
Benjamin Lappenga (Assistant Professor of Theology, Dordt College)Community-Edifying "World-Construction" in Paul and His Interpreters as a Resource for Theological Deliberations about Human Origins
Recognizing that the rhetorical setting for the cosmological reflections of both Paul and his early interpreters is the promotion of community-building, this paper proposes that such instances of "world-construction" are acts of theological imagination that provide a model for our own deliberations about human origins. The paper attends to Paul's varied use of Adam in the service of his concern to build up the community in Rome and Corinth, as well as to the cosmology of one of the earliest writings to interact with Paul's letters, 1 Clement. Just as "Clement" diverges from Paul's cosmology and yet crafts his own within the framework of Paul's concern for community-building, so too should our focus shift from debate for debate's (or even doctrine's) sake to a renewed concern for the community-edifying purposes that occupied the attention of Paul and his early interpreters.
Megan Loumagne (MDiv Student, Boston College – School of Theology and Ministry)Can Augustine Survive Natural Selection?
There has been a recent renewal of interest in Augustine's articulation of the doctrine of original sin in light of the complexities of the human situation in the twenty-first century. This paper first exposits the key elements of Augustine's understanding of original sin. It then places the doctrine within the context of his larger body of work in order to show that this doctrine reflects the central concerns of Augustine's theology, the internal coherence of his thought in his persistent use of the motif of unity, and his distinctive methodological priorities. Furthermore, I argue that the conceptual core of his understanding of original sin, his theological method, and his dependence upon the motif of unity provide important resources for contemporary developments in theological anthropology, especially with regard to new conceptions of the doctrine of original sin.
Brian Lugioyo (Associate Professor of Theology and Ethics, Azusa Pacific Seminary)Exploring Exile and Yom Kippur: Why the "Fall" Might Mislead Us
This paper will explore the relationships between the Genesis 3-4 narrative, exile, Yom Kippur, and the doctrine of the atonement. By looking at the doctrine of the atonement and the practice of Yom Kippur, do we understand more clearly what Jews and early Christians saw as the key problems that the garden stories allude to? I believe that exploring these relations reveals that the theme of exile is essential within the Genesis 3-4 narrative, and thus the traditional problems of a hereditary moral flaw affecting humanity should be revised to allow for the themes of alienation, shame, and self-preservation to guide our understanding of the human dilemma. When reading this narrative with these emphases, I believe that the questions that evolutionary theories bring to the Genesis narrative shift toward more harmonious trajectories.
Hans Madueme (Assistant Professor of Theological Studies, Covenant College)The Evolution of Sin: The Contribution of Ted Peters
This paper examines the evolutionary hamartiology of the Lutheran systematic theologian Ted Peters. First, the central features of Peters' project are laid out. Second, a number of his helpful contributions are summarized, and they clarify what Peters thinks is at stake theologically in the encounter between the doctrine of sin and biology; some critical questions will also be raised about the success of his overall project. Third, the paper concludes that—however we judge the merits of his answers—theologians are indebted to Peters for asking many of the right questions. In light of his work, any doctrine of sin in dialogue with science must give a careful assessment of three areas in the tradition that are rapidly losing their cultural plausibility, i.e., originating sin; originated sin; and anthropological dualism. This three-tiered question, a research agenda for Christian hamartiology, is both the problem and the opportunity of our present moment.
Andrew McCoy (Assistant Professor of Ministry Studies, Hope College)Perfecting Incarnation: The Past, Present, and Future of Fallen Creation Held Together through the Redemption of Christ
This presentation will consider three ways that God's work of creation and the subsequent sin of humanity are understood to "set the stage" in which God's redemption through the incarnate person of Christ unfolds. Creation understood to originate fully realized in absolute perfection or to originate inherently sinful in absolute imperfection will be contrasted with a view of creation as relative perfection. This view affirms creation as originally oriented towards growth and change in the context of a pre-Fall perfection which is not a fully realized state, but rather a perfect, unimpeded relationship between creation and Creator which provides the original, intended context for creation's development. I will argue that this view prioritizes Christ's incarnation as the means by which to understand God's relationship with creation while also providing resources for maintaining open conversation between scientific advances and scriptural and ecclesial positions on human origins.
David Opderbeck (Professor of Law, Seton Hall University Law School)"Law" and the Fall of Humanity
This paper draws on St. Athanasius to argue that in some sense "law" is a constituent element of the human "soul." The pattern of Genesis 2 seems to reflect this order: God creates the soul of Adam ("the breath of life") and imprints on Adam's soul the law of the Garden ("you shall not eat of it"). This pattern is discussed in St. Athanasius' On the Incarnation. For Athanasius, when human beings turned against God and transgressed the law, they lost the gift of incorruptibility and were returned to their "natural state," which in fact began to dissolve them as "human." The Fall as a turn from the law, then, for Athanasius, produced an ontological change in the human person in the loss of direct and full participation in God's eternal being. But neither God's first command in the garden nor humanity's first decisive rejection of that command can appear in sources accessible to the natural sciences. They are known only by revelation, most particularly by the revelation of the fulfillment of the law of love in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, the true "Adam."
Christopher Polachic (Staff Trainer, Power to Change Ministries, Canada)Gospel and Human Evolutionary Narratives in Evangelistic Campus Ministry
Parachurch campus ministries typically employ "Gospel outlines" as evangelism tools. Through trickledown, many of these tools, such as Bill Bright's The Four Spiritual Laws, have had significant influence on Evangelical culture as undergraduates are trained in their use and go on to church leadership. The assumed anthropology underlying these outlines has been an inherited Adamic sin nature with a historical Fall. I propose that an alternative Gospel outline grounded in an evolutionary anthropology could provide a helpful contextualization for Evangelicals to better internalize the narrative of human evolution, and an effective tool in communicating Good News to the unchurched. I will explore some starting points in the science-religion literature from which theologians and ministry staff might work together in such a project, as well as identify the organizational and cultural challenges that might arise in campus ministries.
Dan Rüdisill (PhD Student, Institute for Christian Studies, Canada)"Let us make Man in our Image": Emergent Evolution and the Imago Dei
This paper seeks to give an account of how we can understand humans as made fully in the imago dei while also being creatures fully within the animal Kingdom. This will be done through examining the work on teleology in evolution by the Reformational philosopher Jacob Klapwijk and the Oxford paleontologist Simon Conway Morris. Finally, it shall discuss how we might understand Christians as a truly new creation by appropriating resources from the charismatic Christian tradition
Scott Ventureyra (PhD Student, Dominican University College, Canada)Dembski's Theodicy in Dialogue with Domning's and Hellwig's Original Selfishness: A Potentially Fruitful Approach to Understanding the Intersection of Evolution, Sin and the Fall
In order for humans that originally bore the full image and likeness of God to have the ability to sin they would have to be morally self-reflective agents. So, how does one make sense of original sin and the Fall in light of the evolution? Regardless of the approach one chooses to adopt, these concepts when drawn together inevitably give rise to the problem of evil (natural and moral). It is indeed a problem for Christian theology that cannot be simply swept under the rug. I propose to bring into dialogue two recent positions that take the problem of sin, evil and the Fall seriously. The first, William Dembski's theodicy as defended in The End of Christianity: Finding a Good God in an Evil World (2009) and the second, Daryl Domning's and Monika Hellwig's as examined in Original Selfishness: Original Sin and Evil in the Light of Evolution (2006).
Benno van den Toren (Professor of Intercultural Theology, Protestant Theological University, Netherlands)Human Evolution and a Cultural Understanding of Original Sin
In this paper, I intend to explore the interface between new understandings of human evolution and cultural understandings of original sin. According to recent understandings developed in evolutionary biology, the human being is essentially a 'cultured' being and open to live in different environments. This is a crucial difference between humans and other species, including other primates. Humans are therefore necessarily dependent on socialization by their community. Both the creative insights and the sin of the ancestors will therefore be inculcated in their descendants. This paper explores whether and how this can contribute to the understanding of the propagation of sin through the human population. This paper intends to show that new scientific understandings concerning the development of the human species do not only raise problems for Christian theology—they do—but also allow for new creative understandings that may deepen our understanding of classic doctrines.
John Wright (Professor of Theology and Christian Scripture, Point Loma Nazarene University)The Trinitarian Ontology of God and Creation in Genesis 1:1-2:3
Genesis 1:1-2:3 establishes a setting for the chronology of creation that begins in Genesis 2:4. In Genesis 1 "create" names the distinction between the Divine and the "heavens and earth" even as it relates the word "God" to three words that belong on the "divine side" of the equation: the Origin, the Spirit, and the Word. The text defines "the heavens and earth" as creation of God – yet develops an earth from an absence from within the heavens that appear initially as water. Finally, humanity emerges as functionally, not ontologically unique within creation – God makes humans "to the image of God." Rather than a "mythic" presentation of God making "order from chaos" to develop a "dwelling place of God," Genesis 1:1-2:3 is a creation story. God creates from nothing a creation that emerges as a relationship to God who is simultaneously Origin, Spirit, and Word.

Unemployment Rate Rises To 7.3 Percent
Originally published on Fri November 8, 2013 10:17 am
Employers added 204,000 jobs to payrolls in October. The jobless rate edged up a bit, but that was likely a temporary phenomenon caused by the partial shutdown of the federal government. For more, Renee Montagne talks with NPR's John Ydstie.

Fun & loveable!
I'm an "all grown up" latina making my way in the bay area. At first, I can seem a little conservative & reserved. But the people who get to know me more, get to see my fun side. I love dry sarcastic humor. For work, I am an accountant for a mortuary/cemetery. have most fun when I am on vacation in Vegas, Hawaii, the Caribbean, France, or somewhere here in California. I did recently try camping & slept very little because I could hear all the animals running around (this was crazy). On the flip side, I had a fabulous time when I went to a resort in Jamaica. In Jamaica, we swam in the pool & ordered cuban cigars to go with our cocktails. I tend to not have such a fancy lifestyle or buy materialistic, over-priced handbags so that I can afford a vacation that I will truly love & remember. Being in the field of finances, I like that I know the value of a dollar earned. My older sister says that I am like this because I have friends that are retired. But I have found that my retired friends tend to have a lot of good advice & wisdom. I always enjoy those conversations. What I am looking for is someone who knows how to "work hard to play harder". A person who is down to earth & still like to have fun with life. A person that I am physically compatible with, and can be open to listening to my occasional womanly rants :)) I think it's important to always have some sort of ambition at any stage in life. I like a man who enjoys sports & who is at least somewhat competitive (I can be this way when rooting for my team too). Being a homebody can be good too... when it's time to cuddle up & show the fun side of each other ;)
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting

Small impromtu trips... river rafting... jazz shows at Yoshi's.... Giants baseball... Niners football...
I really was never into reading. But I bought Clive Davis' autobiography to try to spark my reading.

Is there any way to use the MIUI browser on CM7? I tried replacing the stock "Browser.apk", but it wouldnt let me. I also tried installing the MIUI browser.apk and it just comes up and says "Not Installed".
I'm wondering if its even possible since the MIUI framework is different than CM7.
Any thoughts?

Are these containers safe to collect rainwater
I have a local place here where I can purchase 250 gallon containers. I would like to catch rainwater to water my shade trees. The containers had Morcryl 132 resin solution in them are they safe to be using? I tried posting this else where and got the dead page notice. So I hope someone can help me here.
Randy....make every effort to contact the manufacturer regarding your question. This is a Dow product.....all kinds of information and phone numbers on assorted websites. 1.800.232.2436 is listed as a customer service number.
Be SURE to mention that your question lies in the reuse of these jugs for water storage. That might get their attention.
If the bottles are labeled, there might be container disposal information on them. Also, the company who purchased the product will have MSDS (material safety data sheets) on hand and will be able to answer questions regarding the safe reuse of the containers.
I would never, ever use these containers without the full approval of the manufacturer.

Former U.S. secretary of state Hillary Clinton is apparently watching the Super Bowl.
And the possible 2016 presidential contender marked the occasion by Tweeting a not-so-subtle jab at the Fox TV network, which is broadcasting the game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Bronocs:
It's so much more fun to watch FOX when it's someone else being blitzed & sacked! #SuperBowl

Scientists confirm Christopher Columbus' bones
DNA samples from 500-year-old bone slivers could contradict the Dominican Republic's competing claim that the explorer was laid to rest in the New World, said Marcial Castro, a Spanish historian and teacher who devised the study that began in 2002.
However, some of Columbus' remains also could have been buried in the Dominican Republic, he said.
The announcement came a day before the 500th anniversary of Columbus' death in the Spanish city of Valladolid.
A forensic team led by Spanish geneticist Jose Antonio Lorente compared DNA from bones buried in a cathedral in Seville with DNA from remains known to be from Columbus' brother, Diego, who also is buried in the southern Spanish city.
"There is absolute matchup between the mitochondrial DNA we have studied from Columbus' brother and Christopher Columbus," Castro said in a telephone interview.
Mitochondria are cell components rich in the genetic material.
Juan Bautista Mieses, the director of the Columbus Lighthouse — a cross-shaped building several blocks long that the Dominican government built to house the explorer's remains — dismissed the researchers' findings. He insisted that Columbus is buried in the Dominican Republic.
"The remains have never left Dominican territory," Bautista said.
Castro and his colleagues say they had tried in vain for years to persuade the Dominican Republic to open up the monument to compare the remains inside with those of Diego Columbus.
"Now, studying the remains in the Dominican Republic is more necessary and exciting than ever," Castro said.
Although his team is convinced the bones in Seville are from Columbus, he said, that does not necessarily mean the ones in Santo Domingo are not. Columbus' body was moved several times after his death, and the tomb in Santo Domingo might conceivably also hold part of the explorer's body.
"We don't know what is in there," Castro said.
Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World in 1492, landing at the island of Hispaniola, which today comprises the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
Historians have been debating for more than 100 years whether Spain or the Dominican Republic has legitimate bragging rights to the remains of Columbus.
