I have seen lots of people in the UK, England and the phones with 3G always use there batteries up 5x faster than 2G phones. there arnt many places in England where i can pick up a 3G signal. so is there any point of wasting my money.
Posted by jcwhite_uk
I nearly always have a 3G signal. I use it 3G a lot, mainly for the high speed data but also the video calling evry so often.
Posted by whentheleveebreaks
I turned it off, get twice the amount of battery power without it, plus its a bit pointless, i use wifi at work and at home and i never video call as it never works.
Posted by Dogmann
I don't know where you are in the UK but 3G coverage is good in most places and by most Networks. I never use Video calling and doubt i ever will but if you use Mobile Data the difference in speed is like using Dial up compared to Broadband.

I have to admit I'm not that bothered about upgrading to 3G. I might use the quicker data speeds a bit, but only for things like checking emails and browsing Esato... which I can do fine with 2.5G!
I'm quite happy on 2G and will stick with it for the immediate future at any rate, will wait till 3G data rates come down a bit more and people like three get rid of their ridiculous content 'walled garden'.

Not too sure what you mean by when Data rates come down a bit more as if you are with T-Mobile and take either of their Web N Walk tariffs they are either Ł7.50 or Ł10 per month and even 3 now have 2 Data packages at similar prices and if you get a HSPDA able device T-Mobile even include this speed increase in their price plans. 3.5G speeds are going to be getting much faster over the next couple of Years and much faster than Broadband speeds are at the moment all this of course means nothing if you don't use or intend to use Mobile Data.

3G is not the problem > well at least on your side of the pound & in your various wonderous countries. On my side of the pond in my country Canada its just TOO expensive!
For most of you gents in Europe its battery technology and frugal consumption there of. Battery technologies for cellphones are just too old.
> Fuel Cell is still too new and too bulky to incorporate for usuage of our slim factor phones today.
As the future consumption rate for power continues our requirement for it will increase.

I have used 3G Technology now for the last 3 years, (An Early Adapter of 3G)
And So far its the bigest and best thing for Mobiles.
However yes that are downsides. When using 3g on your mobile (Video Calling or normal calling) Battery does drain quicker this is how the technology works currenlty, however so far this is improving all the time.
I Use Orange 3G and so far have been very impressed. The network is getting bigger every monh, I know get 3g coverage in the country side where i have never had it before. I also use o2 3g and can say that this is getting better, but no where nearly as big as Orange or the other networks.
I use 3g for video calling, data, emails and mms. Its so much faster in every respect
Is there anything i don't like. No not really. Battery life i would say for what i use is good (SE K800i) However I did have a Nokia N80 and the battery life on there was shocking. You needed to carry a car battery round with you all the time.
What you have to remember tho why the battery drains faster than a normal 2g phone.
When you have 3G Signal you phone will also look for a 2G signal as a back up. So if you are making a call, you lose the 3g signal and transfer over to 2g like you never knew anything was happening.
Never had a problem wih oranges 3g transfer, However i cant say the same about o2 3g to 2g warm transfer.
If you live in the uk where you have no 3g, your phone will work harder to look for one thus your battery will not last as long. (The phone was designed and built for 3g)
This is an example of battery life
you make a call on the 3g network (voice call only)
The phone still looks for a 2g signal (Making the phone work twice as hard)
If the phone then goes automaticaly trasnfers to the 2g network the phone stops looking for the 3g as it knows it isnt required so making the phone only use the normal battery life.
You turn the phone onto 2g only, the phone never searchs for the 3g network and so saves on battery life.
Also there are other factors involved. If you live in a country where you live near mobile phone mast, the phone will hardly use any battery as it knows it has near to 100% perfect signal strength.
You live in a part of the country where the signal is poor, The phone works harder to look for a better signal and keep hold of the poor signal it has.
i luv 3g and cant wait for 4g which isnt all that far away.
@alrodlop35 Regarding your country, Currenlty there is no agreements or any new agreements regarding 3g in your country.
The problem is that where you live had a different way of using your mobile phones and the networks i beleive didnt follow the GSM route with most of the world.
The GSM networks in Colombia are still in there early stages I beleive your youngest network is only 4 year old.
The 3G has to have a special licence then from your goverment and i know the as you use 850mhz/1900mhz you will gain 1900mhz 3g technology.
Again rest of the world except USA for 3G uses 2100mhz, and i beleive that there are not many phones out there for the 1900mhz 3G band.
Hope this helps.
Regarding Canada, This is down to how people over your side of the pond use there phones.
Europe tend to use Data and SMS, however USA and Canada generaly use PTT (Push to Talk) and voice more.
Its a Culture difference.
I can remeber when i first went to the USA with my first Camera phone, Well i had people coming up to me asking me to look at it and asking me what i was doing with my phone.
I know when i was in the states in Dec I was in the local Mobile shops and was browsing when the sales staff new i was from england they were asking me what phones we had.

Sorry but i have to disagree with you on my phone a Nokia N93 i can choose UMTS, GSM or Dual mode. So as i am with T-Mobile and mainly in London i can select UMTS and have an excellent 3G signal without my phone constantly searching for both GSM and 3G signals. maybe that's why i have such good battery life as it doesn't constantly search for signals.
Posted by darrengf
As the N93 is a smart phone like the P990 you are able to choose GSM, UMTS or Both.
None Smart like the k800i allows you to choose GSM+UMTS or GSM only.
However some networks (Three) remove the function altogether so you are not able to choose what band you want.

I manage to OWN some 3G fones in the past (N70, K800, K600, K608i . . .) and I can say that I rarely USE the fone's - 3G feature (only ONCE I guess ). The RATE of usin' the VIDEO CALL and LIVE CALL at one my my end's NETWORKS charges the same . . . so, practicality wise, might as well USE the Video Call - right But the problem is . . . 3G handsets still cost a BIT expensive thatn the normal ones . . . given some more time, everybody can afford one . . . and I am very OPTIMISTIC that Video Calling will become as ORDINARY as sending: SMS or MMS . . . in a few year's time.
Posted by alrodlop35
I wasn't really aware of this issue because I'm not very interested in having 3G. My mom sure would love it though.
I know former OLA (now Tigo) was researching implementing 3G but it's just not viable in a country where more than 70% of users are on a pre-pay account and use very low end handsets. Also since they've been absorbed they're focusing on the low end of the market for people with limited budget.
I also don't think the coverage could be any good since the country has so many mountains and remote places cell signal can't reach.

As for other aspects of 3G: I very often use it for data (via notebook in the train etc.) browsing MMS. Very rarely for videocall - that's not an killer-applications. Despite the fact, that the rates are the same as for voice, I almost never use it.
The tarifs for 3G-data are the same as for 2G or 2.5G data, and there even are reasonable flat-rate plans. So the acceptance of 3G depends on 3 reasons:
1. 3G phones available for reasonable prices
2. Reasonalbe prices for data or some flatrate-plans
3. 3G Wa/WML/HTML services that make sense
Some countries and operators do have this others don't. In some countries customers just don't care that much about all this. In the US for example SMS and MMS are rarely used - but many there are fond of PTT - which is absolutely no issue here. For me - I definitely don't want PTT, the normal calling procedure is perfectly ok. I don't see any reason for PTT to exist, but maybe I don't get the point of it - where is the advantage of that? If someone wants to contact me he can simply call me.
Posted by carkitter
I find 3G good for downloading music to the phone and for internet connection to laptop. Video calling is good if you can find someone with another 3G phone to call...
Alot of the 3G services are unnecessary and are simple blatant revenue gathering.
Posted by altemyr
What I don't understand is why people buy a 3G phone and then immediately switches the 3G off to save battery. Turn the phone off entierly, and the battery will last even longer ! Oh, you mean you cant make phone calls when the phone's off? Well, there are certain parts of the functionality of the phone that you loose if you turn the 3G off too. There are many phones on the market without 3G but with similar functionality in other aspects (compare K800i vs. K790i, for example) and sometimes to a lower price, so why buy something that you don't use?
Posted by masseur
I buy camera phones but almost never take pictures with the camera
actually I rarely use the music player either
perhaps some people prefer the style of, say, the K800 over other non 3g alternatives
is it really for us to judge other peoples choices?

I can buy that argument up to a certain point. For example, my car is supposed to have a top speed of about 200 Km/h, I think, and the motorcycle I owned many years ago was able to go over 250 Km/h, but the maximum allowed speed on any public road here in Sweden where I live is far much lower, and I tend to follow the speed limits (at least almost ) for many reasons.
For telephone buyers, many people tend to be more attracted to design and coloring of the handsets than of the functionality. (I don't understand why someone would buy a K800i for that reason though, imho, it's almost ugly, even though I own one) A couple of years ago, there was an investigation made and it was a remarkably large percentage of owners of GPRS and WAP enabled phones that did not even know how to send an SMS messag. I suspect that for many people, 3G is only something that consumes the battery power and does not add any gain.
Much of this is probably due to technical reasons and that it is too difficult for some to set up everything correctly, and the only thing you can do is to pity those for what they miss.

In the Middle East; phones are bought on the following basis:
1. How new is it
2. How "pretty" (for girls) or "flashy" (for guys) is it
3. Nokia or Other
4. Arabic language support
Let me explain:
1. Telephones in the Middle East are almost always released in Dubai first. So what happens in Kuwait (and Saudi Arabia and Bahrain) is that people fly into Dubai for the weekend, grab the hottest phone from the duty free shops and fly back. They usually pay quite a premium. In my experience, the starting price for a 3G camera phone is in the $900+ range, depending on model. The newer the phone, the more desirable it is the more its value is inflated during the first week of release. i-mate JASJAM (HTC TyTn). When released: $1,400. After one week: $1,312. After two weeks: $900.
2. Girls usually go for the designer phones, guys usually go for the gaudy phones. I suppose this is normal everywhere.
3. Nokia has a stranglehold in the ME. So much so that you can't even find accessories for other brands. There are a few SE shops (1 authorized in Kuwait); compare that to Nokia that has three authorized dealers and service providers. Another reason its so popular is because it provides default Arabic support.
SMS is king here in Kuwait and also in the Middle East. There are more SMS-based services here than you can shake a stick at. I spoke once with a Nokia engineer (who was flying back to Dubai). He was in Kuwait upgrading the servers that form the backend for SMS services for one of the providers. He told me that in his experience going to countries and installing SMS hardware/software; he has never seen more widespread use of SMS than in the Middle East.
3G is available, but data rates are quite expensive. The volume is capped at 1GB on the most expensive plan. Video calling is also charged at a premium rate.
Most people don't really know that they have a phone with 3G or video calling services; all they know is, its the latest Nokia.
Of course the flip side to all this Nokia love is that you can get SE phones quite cheap here. Especially 'barely used ones'. I have witnessed it myself. I was in a shop browsing for a new phone. A guy walked in, returned his still-in-box P990. The reason? He didn't realize it didn't support Arabic. It also was not a Nokia. He just bought it 4 hours back.
The brand new all accessories -- other than the battery and travel charger were still in their wrapping; manual book was not even opened. The shopkeeper sold the P990 (used) for $100 less than the boxed one.
Gotta love it

I'm using 3G right now Hook up your phone to a computer and surf wirelessly anywhere, but unlike GPRS, a 3G connection is much faster!
Posted by keight00i
since i bought my k800i, i have used 3G (mostly internet) liberally... i live in manila philippines and prior to 3G technology, mobile networks here only have 2.5G service, namely GPRS... we dont have EDGE here, so a 3G rollout has been a great help for most info-hungry mobile users awating a faster, more reliable connection than GPRS.
although i must say, since 3G is relatively new here (just launched Q2 2006), service outside the metropolitan area is patchy if not absent.

I for one think 3G is brilliant and within 4-5years wireless 3G or 4G data access will surpass home broadband connections! The only pearson i think this is because of our need for wireless internet at home, which is restricted to us being within our houses and the growin market for laptops-with the best will in the world, i can't make my Netgear router push a signal more than 100m's! Ha however, my t-mobile usb modem gives me a 1.8mb connection pretty much everywhere! :-)

Some time this year we're getting a new mobile provider here in Egypt, Etisalat is the name like the UAE. And they're bringing HSDPA. I really could care less all I'm hoping for is better prices on everything espesially data and SMS. The current prices on our duapoly are just rediculous. And even funnier is that they are exactly the same prices from when they introduced SMS and GPRS. Actually prepaid isn't that bad off as we never got a price hike, post paid used to have data that was 33% cheaper than prepaid but now they're the same. People only really use a service when it gets cheaper which never happens. So hopefully we'll get better prices soon and be able to use everything.
I'm currently on vodafone and the accuired a 3g licence too. So how's voda when it comes to HSDPA? Is it rolling it out or no?
And I guess by next year we'll have all three operators with 3g, the gouvernment is trying to screw our other network Mobinil by trying to get them to pay for a 3g licence just to install edge. Of course with edge and base 3g being quite close in data rates and in 2009 Ericsson will be boosting edge to 1Mbps it could be reasonable if there were no HSDPA.

3G reception is kinda flakey where I live. So long as I'm in the city I'm ok with the services. But if I'm out and about around my locality, then it's GSM most of the time. If 3G services were a bit more affordable then I'd subscribe to the TV thing with vodafone. I do use the 50 free minutes of video calling I get every month. but most of the time we switch the cameras off and just use it to speak.
I figure that the networks need to find out what T-mobile are doing to be able to provide such excellent data deals and come up with their own answers to it. I use a k800i on WnW as a modem for my laptop. It'd be much better for myself and I'm sure other customers; if vodafone had more affordable data solutions.

What after 3g...
Posted by ryolasta
I think whether u need 3G/UMTS or not is depend to your needs and the situation near you. I mean, if you don't need wireless big bandwith for fast internet connection, than you don't need 3G/UMTS. if you are a heavy user internet and got lucky to have a hot-spot area for Wifi with a big bandwith, and you have a Wifi enabled device, than you don't need 3G/UMTS.
but if you want to have fast internet, don't have a near hotspot wifi area, and don't have a wifi device, and especially you are a mobile person, i think 3G/UMTS is a must. the speed is much much better and faster than the speed of dialup with 56K phone modem or normal GPRS (2G).
Posted by Aivar
Good point, Ryolasta!
I only add that if you sometimes want to make a videocall then you must have 3G phone. But if you are regular mobile phone user and you don't need high speed data transfer, it's better to switch 3G off from your phone to save the battery life.
PS. If you travel to Japan and/or South Korea you also need a 3G phone, because there is no good old GSM.

3.5G which is already with us hence HSPDA and will be followed by the very unoriginal 4G etc etc.
Although WiMax was being hailed as the next big thing now that HSPDA is starting to offer such high download speeds and these Networks are already in place. I no longer see WiMax as this great threat to mobile Networks but only time will tell.

I use 3G with my laptop on occasion (3-4 times per month) for mobile web browsing. Usually have no problem getting 3G and on UK Orange you can have unlimited usage for one day for Ł1 (PAYG) which is much cheaper than a WiFi bundle or hotel WiFi cost. Great when away on business.
Posted by BBS
I have 3G service plan but I seldom use 3G service, mainly due to battery life problem. I have used video call for about a minute so far just for testing. Only one if my friends had 3G service, now he has switched to 2G, with whom I had tested. Actually this service plan is waste of money.
For the handset, I sometimes need roaming in Japan and Korea and 3G handset eliminates need of hiring compatible handset, usually with new number.
Posted by Dogmann
I would advise you to be careful as you may find that that Ł1 day rate excludes using your phone as modem and only covers browsing on the phone. It may even exclude IM and VOIP as well as steaming services also.

Does 3g cost the same as GPRS with O2?
Posted by Dogmann
Yes at the same rip off price still from 02 I'm afraid i must admit every time i look at a phone on 02 and then get to their Data add on it does crack me up. I mean really Ł3 for 2mb or Ł5 for 4mb even with the included 1mb a month allowance that is a joke. On T-Mobile i get up to 1GB a month for Ł7.50 i wouldn't even get 10mb for that amount of money with 02 what a rip off.

The 3G (UMTS 2100, also known as WCDMA 2100) works also in Japan and South Korea. You can check it from GSM Association website: www.gsmworld.com.
(I have been told that information also by my home operator, who has 3G raoming in Japan and in South Korea.)

i like 3g, fast and wireless connection to the web.
however it's costs are usualy high. Because of the outragious licenses the providers had to pay.
but there are some downsides with it, like most providers here. You're not allowed to view streaming video (youtube), listen to your favorite radio streams, use a voip-service.
3g is realy great i think... or at least i could be

BYU (27-3, 13-2) opened the week as a strong contender to receive a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and earned its highest ranking in 23 years.

Game notes
BYU will host New Mexico tonight without sophomore forward Brandon Davies, who was dismissed from the team for the remainder of the season for a violation of the school's honor code. Davies averaged 11.1 points and 6.2 rebounds. The Cougars are coming off a nationally televised 80-67 victory over San Diego State on Saturday — their second 13-point victory over the Aztecs this season — and can clinch a share of the Mountain West regular-season crown by beating New Mexico. The Lobos handed BYU its only conference loss with an 86-77 victory on Jan. 29, right after BYU beat San Diego State 71-58. The Cougars have won seven straight since, and have their highest ranking since they were No. 2 in 1987-88.

A Little More Hassle
My blog posts have been a tad sporadic recently because we've had to move our office again (and all the books!) to what we hope is a more permanent location. Along with working a part-time job I'm working on several articles for Dr. Reluctant and for TELOS, as well as editing lectures for the latter. I'd appreciate your prayers during the transition.
Your brother,
The Transmission of the Soul (Pt.1)
This is a transcript of a lecture taken from the course on "The Doctrine of Man and Sin" at Telos Biblical Institute
How do we get our souls? How are our souls transmitted to each of us?
Three Distinct Views of How the Soul has been Transmitted in the History of Christianity
· The Pre-Existence of the Soul
· Creationism
· Traducianism
First – the Doctrine of the Pre-Existence of the Soul [Obviously, we know this is not taught by the Scriptures anywhere, but it has been taught in Christian history.]
The man who is most famous for bringing this doctrine into the church is the third century scholar Origen, who was born in Alexandria in Egypt, and died in Caesarea, Palestine in the year 254 A.D. Origen's view of the pre-existence of the human soul begins with his rather confused doctrine of God. Origen believed that God created just as many spirits as he could handle, before he created the material world. Because he was shot through with platonic thinking, Origen believed that the realm of immaterial forms or ideas was where we sprang from and where we were headed to.
Therefore, it is unsurprising to learn that he did not believe in a physical resurrection of the body. In Origen's view human spirits were originally disembodied before the world was formed, and they were created bodiless as free beings. This is their proper state according to him. In fact, their goodness was really situated in their freedom.
As Colin E. Gunton says in his book The Triune Creator, 58,
"These spirits, called to live in eternal contemplation of God, fell away from him and misused their freedom so that they could be restored to unity with the divine only through the redirection of that freedom."
Basically, that redirection of the spirit's freedom came about by the creation of the world, along with what we might call the 'imprisonment' of these spirits; preexistent souls put into human bodies. So, according to Origen, all the material creation really is, is a kind of training ground, so that we can learn how use our freedom again. And when we die we are again disembodied.
"Our world is created out of nothing, but for a purpose and its function is educational or pedagogic for the training of the fallen spirits in virtue so that they are qualified to return to unity with the One." – Colin E. Gunton, Ibid, 59
There is Origen's view. This view was condemned as heretical, and it certainly is heretical. Nevertheless, it has been taught in the history of the church, and Mormonism teaches something like this today. Moreover, the view of the Pre-Existence of the Soul needs to be kept in mind as a heretical view because it does have a lot in common with the Eastern religious view of reincarnation, where the soul just keeps coming back into new bodies as it tries to escape the wheel of karma.
Of course, this belief would have as its corollary the opinion that the material world is not part of God's final eschatological plan. Everything is going to be realized in an immaterial future in glory. And so Origen is one of the sources for this pagan notion that heaven, somewhere in the by-and-by, is just purely a spiritual experience; where souls float around and enjoy spiritual communion with no material or bodily substance to mess things up.
Wayne Grudem writes,
"[In relation to the preexistence of the soul] There is no support for this view of Scripture; before we were conceived in the wombs of our mothers we simply did not exist, we were not. Of course God look forward into the future and knew that we would exist but that is far removed from saying that we actually did exist at some previous time. Such an idea would tend to make us view this present life as transitional or unimportant and make us think of life in the body as less desirable and the bearing and raising of children as less important." Wayne Grudem, Systematic Theology, 484
(Actually, Grudem's treatment of Creationism and Traducianism is very unsatisfactory and one of the more disappointing aspects of his book).
Second – The Doctrine of Creationism
There are two positions on this issue which are deemed orthodox: "Creationism," and "Traducianism."
By "Creationism" is not meant the creationism of the Answers in Genesis or the Institute for Creation Research or some similar agency, as valuable as their work is. We're not dealing here with the origins of the world, or the origins of man, or the age of the earth or anything like that. Here we're talking about the origin of the soul, and of the souls of individual people.
Where then do our souls come from? Creationism answers that God creates a new soul in each person at conception, sometimes even at birth. This view is held almost uniformly by reformed covenant theologians, though not by all of them. There are some exceptions: Jonathan Edwards, W.G.T. Shedd, Gordon Clark, Robert Reymond, and J. Oliver Buswell, come to mind; but for the most part, covenant theologians are creationists, and there is a reason for that which we will discuss as we continue.
It appears also that even though John Calvin did not express himself very much on this issue, there is a quotation from the Institutes which shows that he certainly veered toward it, (even as Augustine did – though Augustine refused to be completely drawn on the subject).
Now, the creationists derive their support from a number of passages. These passages are, I think, inconclusive:
And the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. – Ecclesiastes 12:7
The idea here is that God gives the spirit to the human body, the body goes to the dust, and the spirit goes to God. Soul Creationism uses some reverse logic here which says that the body is propagated by the human genes but the soul is given by God to each individual body that is created. Of course the verse doesn't say this, but it is sometimes inferred. The inference does not seem to be very sound. The verse is just a statement of the fact that material things turn back into the dust that they are from. As spirit is immaterial, then obviously it does not decay like the body does. It goes to God. But there is nothing here that says that God implants the spirit in each individual that is born. Read more »
Science and Theological Method: Some Thoughts (Repost)
As I'm too busy to finish anything I thought I'd re-post this article from 2008:
Scientism, the belief that science provides the epistemological framework upon which reality can be known, enjoyed its heyday in the first part of the Twentieth Century,[1] until roughly the early 1960's when it started to come under increasing scrutiny.During that time it was widely believed within academia that "science was the answer."The very word "scientist" was enough to make people expect "the facts."Science in this atmosphere did not need to give theology a second thought. Science, indeed, especially since Darwin, had gleefully pushed theology and religion off the intellectual map.Together with some creative rewriting of history (e.g. the Galileo affair[2]; the Scopes trial) the scientist (a name coined only in 1834[3]), had become mankind's savior.
Certainly, scientism has not gone away.It is still promoted in numerous textbooks and TV specials as the voice of calm reason.It still has its superstars: the late Carl Sagan, who famously began his book (and TV series) Cosmos with the words, "The cosmos is all that is, or was, or ever shall be."[4]The late Stephen Jay Gould, whose NOMA attempted forever to separate the realm of facts (occupied, of course, by science), and the realm of private spiritual metaphor (occupied by theology and religion).[5]And, of course, Richard Dawkins, author of The Blind Watchmaker and The God Delusion, who calls religion "a virus of the mind,"[6]and the source of such one-liners as, "Nothing in the mind exists except as neural activity."[7]Their creed is summed up accurately by Phillip Johnson:
Science may not be able to answer all questions, at least for the time being, but some of the most visionary scientists already speak of a "theory of everything," or "final theory," which will in principle explain all of nature and hence all of reality.Because (in this view) science is by far the most reliable source of knowledge, whatever is in principle closed to scientific investigation is effectively unreal.[8] Read more »
Link: "3 Premillennialists Duke It Out"
As previously noted, I was asked to represent Traditional Dispensationalism for a set of interviews conducted by Lindsay Kennedy. Two far more noteworthy contributors; Darrell Bock (Progressive Dispensationalism), and James Hamilton (Historic Premillennialism), were also interviewed.
After the interviews were completed, each man was given the opportunity to ask one of the others a question. Darrell Bock asked me about Acts 2 and the Throne of David. I drew Jim Hamilton and promptly snuck-in two questions. The second was deliberately "open" to see what Hamilton would do with it. I intend to say a bit more on his answers, both to myself and to Bock, in another post.
Anyway, Brother Kennedy has posted the Q & A under the enticing title "3 Premillennialists Duke It Out." Click on the link, have a gander and see what you make of it. I should say that I was the most verbose. The only excuse I can come up with is that Dr Bock asked me a question particularly germane to the Trad. Disp/PD debate which I felt required the sort of response I gave.
The Struggle of Prayer (Pt.6)
"Give us this day our daily bread…" (Matthew 6:11)
Many of God's people have known what it is to go without. Many have known extremity. Without any doubt when bills cannot be paid with the resources on-hand tensions grow, tempers blow, and faith can take a pounding. Paul admonishes the comfort-softened westerner, "having food and clothing let us therewith be content." We may well believe that he takes shelter for granted. Still, one wonders exactly what the Lord considers "our daily bread" and how different that might be from what we think?
At its most fundamental level "give us this day our daily bread" (or, even "our bread for the morrow") is a plea for God to give us enough food and drink. But as God is Yahweh-Jireh ("the Lord who will provide") we can be confident that by "bread" what is meant is "that which we need." Luther believed, quite sensibly it seems to me, that "daily bread" comprehended not just food but also all those things which God has willed for men, women and children. Certainly, this does not extend to the luxuries of life, which in no way can be equated with necessities, nor with the main tenor of the prayer. But we may take confidence that this is the correct interpretation from Jesus' words against undue anxiety in 6:25-34. There the Lord is referring directly to "your life."
From this we may deduce that Jesus wants His people to pray every day for God to provide that which we need to live in this world. And this would include the particulars needed to pay the bills in the economies we live in. God is gracious and kind, and our acknowledgement of this fact should be present in our praying to Him, for otherwise it is difficult to be truly thankful.
But what does all this come to? What is this petition really about? The answer is as simple as the switch from the focus upon God's causes and kingdom in the first three petitions, on to the creature in this petition. When we ask and keep on asking for our daily bread we are showing our daily dependence upon our good Creator. I make bold to assert that dependence is the foundation of true prayer. In point of fact, expressing our utter dependence on God is the epitome of proper creature-hood. It is us coming to ourselves; realizing who and what we are in the grand scheme of things. For what are we in this world if not utterly dependent on the Divine Benevolence? We can so easily be sideswiped by illness or tragedy or some other kind of trouble, and then our vaunted self-sufficiency comes to nothing. It is the purest sort of sanity to ask God to help through every day.
An Interview With Yours Truly About Dispensationalism
Recently I was interviewed by an Australian brother ministering in England, where I'm from. Lindsay Kennedy, who teaches at the Calvary Chapel College in York, asked me some questions as part of a series he is running on differing perspectives within Premillennialism. I tried to represent Traditional Dispensationalism; Darrell Bock was interviewed about Progressive Dispensationalism, and James Hamilton was asked to write on Historic Premillennialism. As you will see, my answers were longer than those given by the other two men.
Here are the links:
Progressive Dispensationalism (Darrell Bock)
Historic Premillennialism (James Hamilton)
One thing these interviews show is how different these positions are. Especially Hamilton makes it plain that he interprets much of Scripture typologically.
I trust you will be benefited by each interview. Lindsay also asked each one of us to answer a question from one of the other interviewees. I addressed one from Darrell Bock centering on Acts 2 and the reign of Christ. That piece will be linked to once it appears on Lindsay's blog.
What is Progressive Revelation? (Pt.5)
In the first part of this series I referenced some things to which I should now like to return. Even before getting into what is meant when the two words "progressive revelation" are brought together, I said that we needed to settle on what revelation is. At bottom revelation is communication from God to man. The next question up is, how accessible a communication is it? Is it both constant and consistent? That is to say, does the revelation crop up repeatedly, and/or unequivocally? Does it have a character which is traceable backwards and forwards?
What Did You Expect?
I gave the examples of the Trinity and the Messianic prophecies to do with the first coming. I illustrated it by imagining tracking leopard tracks in the snow. One would expect the tracks to lead to a leopard. In the same way, a reliable progressive communication about a subject through time would produce an expectation based on the data contained in the words being revealed (unless the words were incompetent or else deliberately misleading), Just as one would not expect leopard tracks to lead to a bear, one would not expect OT predictions of Christ to be fulfilled in someone born in Jerusalem, from the tribe of Asher, begotten through an earthly father. Why? Because the those things were not part of what was communicated! And any "transformation" in the subject's identity along the line of progression would manifestly terminate said progression!
Yet this is precisely what many evangelicals teach when they refer to "progressive revelation." I provided some examples. One more is found in Michael Lawrence's book, Biblical Theology in the Life of the Church. In his book, Lawrence makes a case for progressive revelation early on. He puts forth four features of progressive revelation as he understands it. The first is that Scripture was revealed at different points in history. This says nothing about the content of revelation or the nature of its progression other than it wasn't given all at once. However, he does seem to say that the progression is fulfilled at "the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ." (27). That is to say, the progression is fulfilled at the first coming.
Lawrence's second feature highlights a common view among many evangelicals that revelation is all about redemptive history. Again, once this is noted we can move on to the next feature. Before we do, I shall just note that the fourth feature is about practicality, so we need not be detained by it. In fact, of the four characteristics of progressive revelation Lawrence supplies, only the third one touches on what progressive revelation actually is.
Lawrence's third characteristic refers to the "organic nature" of progressive revelation. This term is commonly used by those with supercessionist tendencies. It is the lead-in to a brand of typological hermeneutics and the theology based upon it. He writes,
It doesn't simply proceed like a construction site, which moves progressively from blueprint to finished building. Rather it unfolds and develops from seed-form to full-grown tree. In seed form, the minimum and beginning of saving revelation is given. By the end, that simple truth has revealed itself as complex and rich, multilayered and profoundly beautiful. It's this character of revelation that's going to help us understand the typological character if Scripture, the dynamic of promise and fulfillment, and the presence of both continuity and discontinuity across redemptive history. – Ibid, 27-28.
He will state that the discontinuity is that indicated in the Book of Hebrews between the temporary Old Covenant and the eternal New Covenant in Christ. The movement of progression is "the movement between shadow and reality" (80). To describe it in terms of our illustration: this translates into following leopard tracks and discovering that they lead to something utterly unexpected. The tracks, if literally interpreted as belonging to a leopard, would mislead the tracker.
But allow me to make some observations on the larger quote:
First, you will notice that in the opening sentence Lawrence uses the adjective "progressive" in the way we have been recommending in these posts. When you look at the blueprint you can follow the building process till you see what you expected to see – a building. But he rejects this meaning.
Second then, he says the progression is akin to a simple seed which grows into a complex tree. The idea seems to be that because a seed is very different looking than the tree it grows into, so the words revealed progressively in the OT "grow" into a fulfillment which looks very different than what the prophecies would lead a person to expect. Of course, everyone knows what an acorn will grow into – and it isn't a gooseberry bush (I might also point out that leopard prints don't look like leopards).
Third, this "tree" illustration helps us understand "the typological character of Scripture." That is, the revelation of God in the OT Scriptures communicated only shadows, not anything real. As we pointed out previously, the reality could not be known from the line of progression, but only in its "fulfillment" when it became something different than was expected.
This brings us to a fourth observation: the "progression" was merely that of historical pronouncements couched in types and shadows, not in plain language. All that is meant by "progressive" is "communication at different times." Meanwhile, all "revelation" turns out to be is "obtuse disclosure" which would remain unclear and misleading until the "fulfillment" was announced!" Read more »
John Byl takes on another scholar who doesn't believe what Genesis 1 says
Reformed scholars often tend to give unaided reason the final say when it comes to the Bible and prophecy. They use the same sorts of arguments to argue against another biblical teaching many of them don't like: the literal six day creation. John Byl has written a delightful response to Scott Clark's scholarly snubbing of the words of Genesis 1. Byl is himself Reformed and a young-earth creationist (as were the Westminster Divines). His article (as most always), is worth your time:
What is Progressive Revelation? (Pt.4)
Revelation Cannot Be Divorced From the Character of the Revealer
Plain-speaking is usually thought to be a virtue. One should say what one means. On the other hand, it is not a virtue to use words which one knows beforehand may lead another person to conclude we mean one thing, when, in actuality, we mean something more obscure and inscrutable, or even utterly different.
To show how impactful this truth is, I'll pick an example from another sphere. In his recent book against the false claims of Richard Dawkins, Jonathan Sarfati writes this:
It is…disingenuous for an ardent antitheist like Dawkins to profess concern about a creator's alleged deception. However, biblical creationists respond that the real deception would be for a creator to use evolution then tell us in the Bible something diametrically opposed in every respect – the time frame, the method, the order of events, and the origin of death and suffering. – The Greatest Hoax On Earth?, 26
The complaint against Dawkins stems from his blindness to his own presuppositions. However, the thrust of this statement is not against Dawkins, but against any "creator" who would employ language to beguile his creatures. Like a person who deceives a dog into running after a stick which she only pretends to throw, the kind of god who would "reveal" the creative work in the words of Genesis 1 and 2 when, as a matter of fact, he did it by evolution, would deserve to be labelled, as Sarfati says, "disingenuous."
As I have said more than once before, our definition of "revelation" requires that we say something about the character of God. As one OT scholar puts it, "Revelation as an act of God reveals our God, with all of his goodness and perfections." - Willem VanGemeren, The Progress of Redemption, (Paternoster), 446. It also requires of us that we don't forget this link between revelation and God's character. Our doctrine of revelation is the bedrock of what ever else we as Christians might want to say. Revelation entails clarity of intention. In speaking about "progressive revelation" we are always talking about the character and consistency of the Revelator. For God to lead us into thinking He did X when He in fact did Y would be, as the example above declares, a disingenuous thing to do.
In light of this let us consider what someone like Willem VanGemeren says about progressive revelation.
VanGemeren says that God's Name "I Am who I am" may communicate the fact that,
Yahweh declares that he is free in the progression of fulfillment of his promises…Further, no one can predict how or when he will work out the full redemption of his people (cf. Acts 1:7). – Ibid, 149
Using Acts 1:7 to support his statement is a bit of a stretch. There the Lord Jesus was simply telling the disciples that it wasn't for them to know the times or seasons when the kingdom would be restored to Israel (see v.6). Hence, Acts 1:7 in its context supports the idea of "progression" I have commended in these articles: that of supplemental revelation which can be traced backwards and forwards through all the others in the set. The revelation cannot undergo transformation in any sense which would affect that understanding of "progression", otherwise the term itself becomes equivocal (that is to say, "progressive revelation" would mean different things depending on whether one is talking from an OT or a NT perspective).
VanGemeren himself restricts this "freedom" of God by making it clear that God's acts "in fulfillment of his promises are intended to instill…confidence that he is faithful and able to deliver them." (150). This is an important point for him. Earlier he writes,
The purpose of the revelatory Word of God is to prepare individuals to respond to that Word when it is addressed to them. – Ibid, 55.
Saying What We Mean
Nevertheless, in reading VanGemeren one senses that the underlying reason for the "freedom" and unpredictability of how God will work it all out, (and his use of Acts 1:7), is because he believes in wholesale alterations to what was to be expected based on earlier revelations in the set. This would involve tinkering with the word "progressive" to make it mean something like "modified." The modification usually involves the substitution of one thing for another, and this significant alteration of specified content within the promises becomes not terribly unlike the homologous "adaptations" we're all familiar with in evolutionary dogma.

When Literal Interpretation Leads to Wholesale Spiritualization
This is a response to comments left for me in the combox at this post about Sam Storms's views on eschatology. I appreciate the brother bringing them to my attention. I am responding mainly to this:
Thanks for the post. I am not sure the last section really represents Sam's view. He would say that Paul and Peter leave no room for a milennium since Paul has the last enemy death defeated at the parousia in 1Cor 15:24ff, 50 therefore death will not exist after Jesus returns and Peter has Jesus returning and then begins the renovation of heaven and earth by fire without a milennium. Since the thrones in Revelation are always in heaven and when they are setup for those who reign on them it could be that their reign is in heaven. He does admit difficulty with anastasis so he defaults to the fact that Paul and Peter are clearer than Revelation therefore he is inclined to be amillennial. This is Storms' view summarized.
Comment by Rick Tatina | July 7, 2013 |
Just in case, the passage concerning Peter was from 2 Peter 3:9-12.
Here's a brief response.
Let me address these texts 1 Cor. 15:20-28 first:
"But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. 21 For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming, 24 then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death. 27 For HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him. 28 When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all."
Okay, let's examine this, beginning in v.23:
This passage is dealing with physical resurrection (anastasis). Christ is raised first, in expectation of more to come. V.24 then speaks of "the end, when Christ hands over the kingdom to the Father." Is that it? No. V.25 says "He must reign until He has put all enemies under his feet." So the question is, "Is Christ reigning now?" "Yes" says Storms. Does the Bible say He is? No! Not unless He reigns over the "principalities and powers" of Eph. 6:10ff. Not unless He is reigning over the countless tragedies and acts of wickedness which continue day in day out since He rose again. If so, He would be the worse ruler imaginable. The buck would stop at Him.
In Matt. 19:28 Jesus looks forward to sitting "on the throne of his glory" at "the regeneration" (palingenesia). This coincides with the "times of refreshing" and "times of restoration" of Acts 3:19 & 21, which Acts 3:20 tells us occur when Jesus returns. In Lk. 19:12-15 Jesus makes it clear that He (the nobleman) would go away and only reign once He returned. In Rev. 3:21 we're told that Jesus sat down on His Father's throne. 1 Cor. 15:20ff. could support amillennialism, but only if we are prepared to spiritualize a whole bunch of other verses.
Here I should like to quote from my "Parameters of Meaning" series (which I have neglected):
"Parameters of Meaning – Rule 9: If a literal interpretation leads you into wholesale allegorizing, or causes head-on conflicts with other clear texts, which then have to be creatively reinterpreted, it is an illegitimate use of "literal". There will always be another literal meaning available which preserves the plain-sense of the rest of the passage in its context."
Well, is Christ subduing all things now? Look around. Of course not. Does the Bible say He is? No. Romans 8:19-23 places this at the time of our resurrection ("the redemption of our body"). When will that happen? 1 John 3:2 & Phil 3:20-21 answer, at the Second Coming. So at Christ's second advent this world will be "regenerated" or "delivered" or "refreshed" or "subdued" and not before. Christ shall reign (Lk. 1:31-33; cf. Rev. 20:4 & 6) just as the Prophets said He would. He will rule with a rod of iron after the second coming as Rev. 19:15 makes quite clear (see also Rev. 2:27; 12:3 which make it future). Psalm 2:6-9 refer to this subduing when Christ reigns. See also this: http://drreluctant.wordpress.com/2013/01/17/christ-at-the-center-pt-6a/
I really don't know what Storms is thinking with 1 Cor. 15:50. But it seems He is just equating the kingdom of God with heaven. And, as I said above, this thinking of New Heavens and Earth after the coming of Christ is a big problem for amillennialism, because it discards THIS earth as useless after the Second Advent. No dominion for the second Adam on this earth in successful completion of Adam's failed dominion! It is easy to fit the literal Millennium in 1 Cor. 15 without having to revise our reading of all the plain verses which speak of an actual reign of Christ on this earth after the second advent.

- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 yellow onion, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 cup dried vermicelli noodles, broken into roughly 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups long-grain white rice
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of the butter, and as soon as the butter melts, add the onion. Cook, stirring constantly, until the onion is translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the noodles, lower the heat to medium, and cook, stirring constantly, until the noodles are golden brown and the mixture gives off a nutty aroma, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add the rice, stir to combine, and add the remaining tablespoon of butter.
- Stir in the chicken broth and salt. Raise the heat to high and bring to a full rolling boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice and vermicelli have absorbed all the liquid. Fluff with a fork and serve.

Today at Flavorpill, we listened to an improvised, spoken-word single from Conan O'Brien called "And They Call Me Mad." We chuckled over Katy Perry's extremely pink childhood glamour shot. We learned how to undo a sent e-mail in Gmail. We watched Ray Bradbury watch "Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury." We realized that with the backing track from The Social Network trailer, every meme seems more dramatic. We waded through Pitchfork's list of the top 50 music videos from the '90s. We discovered that the name "Starbucks" was inspired by a character in Moby Dick. We imagined what sharing a dorm room with Don Draper would be like. We met the accidental face of an unemployed generation. And finally, we downloaded an insanely comprehensive mixtape of Swizz Beatz-produced tracks. Now all we need is the party to play it at.

Kansas voter citizenship amendment rejected
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Kansas legislators ended a special session without debating proposed changes in a law requiring new voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship when they register.
Democratic Sen. Oletha Faust-Goudeau tried Wednesday to add language to a bill on criminal sentencing that would have let new voters sign a sworn statement attesting that they're U.S. citizens.
The Republican-controlled Senate ruled the proposal out of order.
Another Wichita Democrat, House member Jim Ward, had the same result with a similar amendment Tuesday in his chamber.
The registration law took effect in January and is designed to prevent non-citizens from voting. But the registrations of more than 15,000 legal Kansas residents are on hold because they have yet to provide proper documentation of citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate.

DURHAM – Another 60-day period has come and gone, and once again the Durham County District Attorney will ask the North Carolina Superior Court to seal the murder investigation documents of UNC student Faith Hedgepeth.
Assistant District Attorney Charlene Franks told WCHL that she is waiting to present the request to Judge Orlando Hudson when his schedule allows. Hudson signed the fifth order to seal the documents in mid-September.
Hedgepeth was found murdered in her off-campus apartment on September 7, 2012.
On January 8, Chapel Hill Police released details of the investigation including DNA of a male suspect found at the scene. Little information has been released other than that.
The Chapel Hill Police Department continues to express that this is not a cold case and that it is continuing to follow leads.
Police continue seeking any information that could help in the investigation. Call the Chapel Hill Police Department at 919-614-6363 or Crime Stoppers at 919-942-7515.
A reward up to $39,000 is still available to someone submitting information that assists in the case.
http://chapelboro.com/news/crime/durham-da-to-request-hedgepeth-investigation-docs-resealed-sixth-time/CHAPEL HILL – The Chapel Hill Police Department has asked the State Bureau of Investigation for additional help in the murder of UNC student Faith Hedgepeth.
The Chapel Hill News reports that SBI spokeswoman Jennifer Canada confirmed in an email that Police Chief Chris Blue requested the help from the SBI in the off-campus murder. The SBI served a limited role in the early parts of the investigation, including the discovery of a male suspect's DNA and a profile of that person.
Hedgepeth was found dead in her apartment on September 7 of last year at the Hawthorne on the View complex on Old Chapel Hill Road.
The investigative documents and 911 calls have been sealed by court order since the murder. On September 30, Durham County Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson signed a 60-day order to reseal the documents for the fifth time.
http://chapelboro.com/news/crime/chpd-seeks-additional-help-from-sbi-in-hedgepeth-investigation/DURHAM – Saturday marked the one-year anniversary of the murder of 19-year-old UNC student Faith Hedgepeth, and Tuesday marks the date in which court documents will once again be presented to a Durham County judge.
Three days after Hedgepeth was found dead in her apartment by her roommate, Judge Orlando Hudson sealed the investigation's documents along with the 911 call. Since then, the documents have been sealed three additional times. Tuesday marks the end of another 60-day period in which the documents were sealed.
Assistant District Attorney, Charlene Franks, says the D.A. will once again present the documents to Judge Hudson and ask that they be sealed an another 60 days. On Friday, interim D.A. Leon Stanback told WCHL that the reason he continues to ask the court to keep the documents sealed is that he and investigators believe there is information in the materials that may tip off the suspect.
On January 8, Chapel Hill Police released details of the investigation including DNA of a male suspect found at the scene. Little information has been released other than that.
The Chapel Hill Police Department continues to express that this is not a cold case and that it is continuing to follow leads.
Police are still seeking any information that could help in the investigation. Call the Chapel Hill Police Department at 919-614-6363 or Crime Stoppers at 919-942-7515.
http://chapelboro.com/news/crime/d-a-seeks-to-reseal-hedgepeth-murder-investigation-documents/CHAPEL HILL - Even if you never knew Faith Hedgepeth, just looking at a picture of the 19-year-old, you could still feel the warmth radiating from her smile. On Saturday, a year will have passed since the UNC student was murdered in her apartment, and yet her killer's identity remains a mystery.
To remember Faith, the Carolina community is coming together on Saturday evening with a memorial walk across campus.
Amy Locklear-Hertel is the Director of UNC American Indian Center. Faith, who belonged to Haliwa-Saponi Tribe, was a member of the Center. Locklear will be speaking at the event Saturday at 7:30 p.m., beginning at the Bell Tower Amphitheater.
Following brief remarks, the UNC a capella groups, Harmonyx and Unheard Voices, will perform a musical tribute. A silent walk will start at the amphitheater and end at the Old Well, where participants will leave carnations in honor of Faith.
"She was just beautiful, just stunning and had just this warmth about her that you just wanted to talk to her and engage her because she was so welcoming and just this innocence and trusting about her." Hertel said.
She added, "There will be people all across [the state] remembering Faith on Saturday, and we are all keeping the faith that there will be closure hopefully to this case in the not-so-distant future."
Faith's body was found by her roommate at 11 a.m. on September 7 of last year in their Hawthorne at the View apartment. Chapel Hill police announced in January that they had found a man's DNA evidence at the scene, but are still searching for the killer. The apartment complex is inside the Durham County line, and the Durham District Attorney's Office will prosecute a suspect, if one is ever found, though the CHPD is the investigating agency.
Interim Durham County District Attorney Leon Stanback says that his office will continue to ask the courts to keep the investigation documents sealed to protect information that only investigators and her killer would know.
"We feel that the information contained in those files may tend to compromise our investigation so they are going to be sealed for as long as the courts will permit us to leave them sealed," Stanback said.
The CHPD issued a public appeal Thursday asking for the community to help provide information surrounding the murder.
"The fact that there's no closure, it is one thing to lose someone, a significant member of your community, and it is another to not have closure over that loss because someone was taken unfairly." Hertel said.
And the UNC campus hasn't forgotten the 19 year old, who was 19 days from her 20th birthday at the time of her death. Her college advisor, Marcus Collins, mentored Faith as part of the UNC Summer Bridge Program and also did work with the American Indian Center.
"There was something about her, and you sensed this welcoming spirit. She had just a positive energy, and we often comment about her smile and how it would light up the room," Collins said.
Collins says Faith's death had a significant impact on the entire campus, especially the close Native American community. Through interaction with Faith's peers and professors, he says her spirit is still a part of their daily lives.
"You want justice to this situation. It is my hope that it is the reason that we don't have answers because they are continuing to solidify what they need in this case to make that happen," Collins said.
Hertel says she looks forward to Saturday's ceremony as a time to remember Faith and recognize that her killer has not yet been brought to justice.
"No one wants her memory to be forgotten and we certainly want to maintain a public awareness about the case so that it can be solved," Hertel said.
Anyone with information should call the Chapel Hill Police Department at 919-614-6363 or Crime Stoppers at 919-942-7515.
http://chapelboro.com/news/crime/remembering-faith-hedgepeth-one-year-after-her-murder/DURHAM- Nearly a year has passed since the slaying of UNC student Faith Hedgepeth, but we still don't know the details of her death.
On Friday Judge Orlando Hudson once again signed an order to reseal the documents in the case. That order stands for 60 days, at which time the Durham District Attorney's Office could either release the information or request that the records be resealed.
The records have been sealed repeatedly since Hedgepeth's body was found by her roommate in her off-campus apartment on September 7, 2012.
Investigators have released little information since then, but informed the public at the time that neither the campus nor community were in immediate danger.
In January, information regarding DNA evidence of the suspected killer, a timeline of the night of her death, and a suspect profile were released. The cause of death has not been revealed.
http://chapelboro.com/news/crime/documents-resealed-in-hedgepeth-murder-case/DURHAM – Another 60 days has come and gone, and Durham County Assistant District Attorney Charlene Franks says another order to seal the documents in the murder investigation of UNC student, Faith Hedgepeth, will likely be made this week.
On May 14, a Durham County Judge resealed the documents for 60 days—an order that expires Thursday. Franks says the court date is dependent upon court schedules.
*Franks told WCHL Thursday morning that the DA's office will motion to have the documents resealed. That motion will be heard by Judge Orlando Hudson next week.
Hedgpeth was found dead in her off-campus apartment by her roommate on September 7, 2012. Investigators released little information initially but informed people that neither the campus nor community were in immediate danger. In January, information regarding DNA evidence of the suspected killer, a timeline of the night of her death, and a suspect profile were released. The cause of death has still not been announced.
http://chapelboro.com/news/crime/hedgepeth-murder-investigation-documents-likely-to-be-resealed/CHAPEL HILL – The UNC campus is once again mourning over the loss of one of its students.
The death of 22-year-old Stedman Gage is the fourth in the last six months that has shocked the University.
In early September, 19-year-old Faith Hedgepeth was found murdered in her apartment—a case that to this day is still unsolved; in early October, 21-year-old Trevor Dolan died of what his friends told the Daily Tar Heel was a suicide; and in late October, 18-year-old David Shannon was found dead at a concrete plant in Carrboro after falling off some of its machinery.
While an autopsy won't be performed until Monday, police officials have said they don't believe foul play was involved. As in most cases, a toxicology report will likely be requested by the coroner, which means a conclusive answer may not be delivered right away.
A statement from the Gage family says, "This is a devastating tragedy, and our family is handling the situation as best we can. We are heartbroken. We ask for your compassion and respect, for our privacy and that of our son."
Stedman was the son of former UNC Board of Governors Chair and current board member Hannah Gage.
Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.

http://chapelboro.com/news/unc/unc-mourning-after-the-loss-of-fourth-student-in-six-months/CHAPEL HILL – Last week, theChapel Hill Police Department released new information in their investigation of the murder of Faith Hedgepeth last September. With the new information, the police department also created a new email address for tips.
Police already had a tip line for people to call with additional information, but Sgt. Josh Mecimore says the email address will be helpful as well.
"Sometimes people don't feel comfortable talking to somebody," Sgt. Mecimore says. "They don't want somebody asking them questions; they just want to say what they've got to say, and that's it. So we thought that was a good way to give people place to do that. I'm sure we'll probably keep that email long term so that if people have information they want to pass on, they can shoot us an email and say what they have to say."
Mecimore says police did not receive very many additional tips after last week's release, but information is still coming in. Using recently discovered DNA evidence and aid from federal agencies, Chapel Hill police announced last week that the suspect is a male—likely someone who knew Faith, whose whereabouts are unaccounted for on the morning of Friday, September 7, and who might have been acting strangely immediately thereafter.
If you have any information, call the tip line at 919-614-6363 or Crimestoppers at 919-942-7515, or you can email the tip in to firstname.lastname@example.com. All calls will remain anonymous. There's a $39,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

What does that have to do with the gap in his teeth? I couldn't be more relieved that West lost the election, but bringing up his teeth is ridiculous.
In the 1950s it was the "bomber gap." In the 60s it was the "missile gap." In the London subways there are signs saying "Mind The Gap." We have a retailer called "The Gap." For Karl Rove on Tuesday night there was the "Ohio Gap." (For Republicans in general, Tuesday night represented the "Reality Gap.") Now it's the "teeth gap."
I don't know what any of this means, but I'm sure FNC will spin it to terrify their base.
