Series: The Faith of a Great Scientist: Robert Boyle's Religious Life, Attitudes, and Vocation (9 entries)
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
Series: From the Dust (12 entries)
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Human Moral Responsibility and the Sciences of the Mind
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."

If you're new to investigating the relationship between science and Christian faith, the Book Club is a great place to start the journey.

A video message from President Deborah Haarsma.
Three Steps Forward, Two Steps Back
"We were (mostly) prepared for the academic arguments but not necessarily the thing many fear in this discussion: personal conflict."
Why the Church Needs Multiple Theories of Original Sin
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
Debating Darwin—How the Church Responded to the Evolution Bombshell
"Where many scholars in previous generations simply assumed that Christianity and science have always been in conflict—and not just over evolution—recent scholarship has decisively debunked that view. The main message from today's historians is complexity, not conflict."
Series: Questions on Time and Eternity (2 entries)
To get a better grasp on the differences between the relational and absolute theory of time, focus your attention on our universe. Imagine that one day God paused the movements of the planets and everything else such that nothing within the universe continued to move until God unpaused it. Would time exist during this pause?
Origins News Round-up for November 15, 2013
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.
Francis Collins Talks about Science, Medicine, Religion, and God's Action in the World
What's the evidence for the idea that God exists or doesn't exist? I think anyone who's looked at that would conclude that the strong atheist position of saying, "I know there is not God" is not an easy one to sustain.
Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution" (6 entries)
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."

First Solar Powers Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West Posted 6/19/2012 7:12:00 PM by First Solar On May 24, 2012, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation inaugurated a new 250-kilowatt (AC) solar PV power system donated by First Solar which will help power the historic Taliesin West campus in Scottsdale, Arizona. The commissioning marks the successful completion of the first phase of the Energizing Taliesin West™ initiative, a pioneering effort to transform the entire National Historic Landmark Taliesin West site into a "net zero" energy customer, producing as much energy as it consumes annually, while maintaining the historic and architectural integrity of the site. The comprehensive project, led by energy efficiency consultant Big Green Zero, is focused on the twin goals of maximizing the campus' energy efficiency through improved lighting, insulation, climate controls and other techniques while also generating renewable energy on-site.

Chatting from SOA Suite 11g – how BPEL processes can use the XMPP protocol to notify the world
Various scenarios may require sending email messages or other types of notifications to users as part of the process flow. For example, certain types of exceptions that cannot be handled automatically may require manual intervention. For example, a BPEL process can use the notification service to alert users by voice, IM, SMS, or email.
In a previous article (http://technology.amis.nl/blog/6019/configure-soa-suite-11g-for-sending-email-notifications-with-google-mail) I described recently how the fairly new SOA Suite 11g can use GMail or other public Email servers to send notifications, for example from BPEL processes or the Human Workflow Service. The SOA Suite 11g works with the User Messaging Service (UMS) to perform that feat and the essence of said article is to configure the email driver in UMS to use GMail – or any other email server for that matter.
This article looks at one of the other communication channels available in UMS, and also available to BPEL processes: Instant Messaging or Chat. After configuring the UMS XMPP driver in the Enterprise Manager console, the Chat channel is available to any BPEL process. We will discuss how to configure – and with which More >

By Paul Woolverton Staff writer
The state Court of Appeals Tuesday upheld the second-degree murder conviction of Stan Moretti Jr., a Fayetteville tattoo parlor owner who repeatedly ran his truck over a man whom he thought had stabbed his wife.
In two other, unrelated cases, the appeals court:
Rejected efforts by homeowners in Pinehurst to stop a neighboring church from expanding.
Ordered a medical malpractice lawsuit against Village Surgical Associates to go to arbitration.
Some people thought Moretti was justified for chasing down and killing 28-year-old Aaron McLeod on a side street near a Primo Pizza restaurant on Yadkin Road.
Others, including a jury in August 2011, said Moretti went too far when he thought he was defending his wife. According to evidence at the trial, Moretti ran over McLeod at least four times with his GMC Yukon sport utility vehicle.
There was testimony that McLeod, who suffered mental illness, brandished a knife at Moretti's wife, Anna, as she stood outside the restaurant on a Friday night in February 2008. There was conflicting evidence as to whether McLeod injured Anna Moretti. She later said she had three small scrapes on her hand.
During the confrontation, Anna Moretti screamed and swatted McLeod's hand, according to the trial evidence. McLeod dropped the knife and walked away. Stan Moretti, who had been inside the restaurant, ran out to help Anna. He pulled a gun and fired it at least twice, but did not hit McLeod.
There was testimony that McLeod began running after Moretti shot at him. Moretti ran into the restaurant, got his car keys, went back out and got into his SUV. He drove down the street in pursuit of McLeod.
When he caught up to McLeod a short distance away, Moretti yelled at him, according to evidence at the trial, then ran over him repeatedly. He later said he thought McLeod was going to draw a gun, that he hit McLeod more than once to make sure he stayed down, and that he hoped McLeod would die.
Other than the knife he brandished at the restaurant, McLeod was unarmed.
Moretti, 46, is serving a sentence of not less than 15 years, not more than 18 years, nine months for killing McLeod.
On appeal, Moretti's lawyer said Senior Resident Cumberland County Superior Court Judge Jim Ammons should not have allowed police detectives to read their notes and reports they made from their interview with Moretti in the hours after the homicide. The appeals court rejected that argument.
Moretti's lawyer also said it was wrong that the jury was given the option of convicting Moretti of second-degree murder. She argued that the circumstances of the homicide could only apply to first-degree murder conviction (which would have carried a life sentence) or voluntary manslaughter conviction (which has a lesser sentence).
The Court of Appeals ruled that second-degree murder was an appropriate option.
Moretti can ask the state Supreme Court to review the case.
Neighbors of the Village Green in Pinehurst have been trying for years to halt plans to expand the Village Chapel, which is on the Green. They sued in 2011, and a Superior Court judge dismissed their case. The Court of Appeals agreed with the dismissal.
Robert King and his wife sued surgeon Michael Bryant and Village Surgical Associates of Fayetteville for malpractice in 2011. According to the text of the ruling, Bryant accidentally damaged King's aorta during surgery to repair a hernia, causing excessive bleeding, follow-up surgery and a 12-day stay in the hospital.
The defendants said that King's contract required the dispute to go to arbitration. In March 2012, Superior Court Judge Lucy Inman said the arbitration clause was not enforceable.
The Court of Appeals said Inman was wrong. It reversed her decision and sent the case back to Cumberland County Superior Court.

Recently I've gotten into the 99% Invisible podcast. The episodes are really short, and the theme is:
A tiny radio show about design, architecture & the 99% invisible activity that shapes our world.
The host describes it as looking at the thought behind the smallest details that make up the world around us: why a specific column is decorated in a certain way, how toothbrush handles are designed, etc. It's really interesting–I think to anyone–especially for those interested in design and design-inspired thinking.
Since the episodes are really short, I've started at the beginning and am listening to a few each time I hop in the car. One that keeps coming back to the front of my consciousness is called "99% Alien." Here it is if you're interested:
The premise of this episode is the design of the living areas on spacecrafts. At first, there was an assumption that they'd reflect Earth-bound spaces, then people began thinking about how we could start from scratch in a zero-gravity environment. Chairs don't make sense when you don't sit. Nothing can rest on a table. Drawers are only functional while they're closed… once opened everything floats away.
So the designers "over designed" the space: all the walls were working spaces like a table top. Velcro and elastic bands abounded to make it easy to hook anything to anything else. You could make use of the walls and ceiling as additional floor space, maximizing the square footage. (Full disclosure: the futurist in me found this idea really interesting!)
Eventually flaws manifested in this design. People really like sitting around a table. If you're talking with someone who is oriented more than 45 degrees off of you, it's hard to read lips and expressions, and communication is hindered. Eventually, the living quarters had a "right side up" orientation, and the design included a small table. The podcast described this as a bit of humanity in the alien environment.
Which, to me, is clearly linked to learning spaces and libraries. There is a tendency, when talking about online education, to either try to exactly replicate the face-to-face environment, or to totally start from scratch with the potentials afforded in this new online "space." Perhaps neither is quite right. I (and most educators) have long thought the replication of face-to-face was incorrect. Online doesn't do what face-to-face does extremely well. It does other things really well, though, and it makes sense to start from a place of considering what works well online. Perhaps instead of creating vastly different spaces online for learning, we need to focus on maximizing what happens well online while preserving relics of the "real world" to help students orientate themselves and innately understand how to communicate. We can think of it as adding humanity to the online environment. I designed this type of humanity into my own online class, but didn't think to frame it this way until I heard the podcast. It's going to be a useful framework for my thinking going forward.
Learning spaces seemed like a pretty obvious analogy to me. "Real life" interior spaces are pretty well established, as are face-to-face methods of instruction. Spacecraft space design is a new frontier, not unlike online learning. (They're new in the timeline of human events, in any case.) In both zero-gravity space and completely open and flexible online space, there are entirely new ways to consider the prospect of design. In both it's tempting to take an extreme of traditional design or radically different.
Library space is a bit more of a stretch, but also an interesting parallel. Library space isn't radically different today than it has been in the past: big buildings, lots of books, work spaces. Libraries are evolving: more collaborative spaces, technology, moving books to make space for people. Even with these changes, we're not in a radically different space at this point. However, as with many of the futurists in the field, I often think about what the library would look like if we were starting from scratch today. Or, even more interestingly, "what would it look like if we were starting from scratch 20 years from now?"
I can imagine a library in the 20-years-in-the-future-world that looks radically different from today's libraries. In fact, it might look as unlike today's library as a floorless/ceilingless living area in a spaceship might look from a living room in a house. So the question is, "how to we maximize the potential in a largely online, collaborative, maker-space world in a library while maintaining the humanity of the users?"
My 2 cents? It probably starts with a lot of design thinking, anthropological research, and conversations with our users. And, frankly, it will take about that long to get the plans and funding in place, so it's probably not a bad question to be asking today.

A dramatic rescue in Washington state of a thirteen year old boy trapped on the edge of a waterfall for more than eight hours.
Newly released video showing the team desperately clinging to the side of a rock.
Just one false move standing between him and a 270.
Foot drop faith Gallagher has the latest from our West Coast newsroom amazing video Trace.
-- -- it really is amazing -- thirteen year old William Hickman was waiting in the water upstream he slipped she fell and he was actually pushed by the white water over a ten foot waterfall then he starts going down the rapids and he's getting near that 270 foot waterfall you're talking about 270 feet is a hundred feet higher than Niagara Falls.
Take a look at -- he managed to grab out of this -- look at the rescue were the boy is right behind him right there and see water at the bottom of the strain.
That is over the falls 270 feet he held -- of that -- for eight and a half hours 5 o'clock at night till 1:30 in the morning.
They tried to repel down from the top of the -- to get him but they couldn't.
So they had to put this latter across the water and security as best as they could and then try and tie the boy up to all these lines to keep him secure again eight and a half hours.
They finally lifted him.
Here's now one of the rescue team.
He's Smart kid he asked me if I have plan.
And I said.
Yes we have a plan and we're working on it.
And a couple seconds later he says is your plan gonna work.
While the plan was to hook him up those harnesses and get him secure and get that latter secure the problem was the water.
The gay and rising as they put that latter across they had to move faster than they anticipated they finally pulled him off onto a different safer area.
And they can't they're overnight.
The boy tried to keep his cool you'll hear but he knew he was in trouble listen.
Trying the -- wouldn't call them so they can think you know fun and safe.
I save all this rocket and yes by the -- -- is -- fantastic view things thankful for them.
If I had fallen down I would have gone down the other -- Let.
On -- I was like right there.
-- he was right there are 270 feet down the last time somebody went over that waterfall.
Was last summer.
They found his body two days later this was an amazing rescue and really tricky.
For the first response I don't.
I'm not that he has wits about him enough that he asks do you have a plan.
And we're glad they did that it works to raise thank you exactly --

Home boy Logan is loving life at Brentford
12:10pm Friday 30th August 2013 in Sport
By Bruce Archer
Brentford's Shaleum Logan reckons the secret to his fast start to the new League One campaign is finding happiness at home.
The Bees beat Walsall 1-0 at Griffin Park, with both sides going into the game undefeated, through Clayton Donaldson's header from Logan's whipped delivery just before half time.
The assist for Donaldson's goal, on top of his stunning strike on the opening day against Port Vale, has made for a good start for the 25-year-old in his third season at the west London club.
The former Manchester City right back, below, moved to Brentford in 2011 and admits that everything is in place for him to have the best season of his career.
"I'm happy at home and I've been settled in London for a while now, everything seems to be going OK in my life. I'm a happy person," he said.
"I think I've played well in the last two seasons and I know on my day I can be a match winner, even from full back – I just like to go into every game and give it 100 per cent."
The clean sheet in Saturday's match showed the strength in character that has occasionally been missing and Logan believes in the big games, like the one with Walsall, it is important they are able to shut them out when they go in front.
He said: "A clean sheet is always good for the back four and we were really pleased. It was the first thing the manager said after we had scored, and we know after the goal if we keep one, we'll win the game.
"When you play a team like Walsall, who are capable of passing through any gaps you leave, it's important to shore it up."
A 5-0 Capital One Cup defeat to Derby County on Tuesday upset the apple cart, but in the league at least, Logan hopes the improved solidity at the back and their dynamic attacking qualities can sustain a promotion bid.
He added: "There's teams in the league you think will be up there, and they're the teams at the top already, including ourselves. Even though we came so close last year, it's going to be even harder this time.
"The teams that came down are bigger teams than those that went up, but if we just do what we have been, hopefully we'll be there at the end. There's a big incentive for us to go up after last year."
Thank you: Clayton Donaldson buries Shaleum Logan's cross in the 1-0 win over Walsall SP73046

The ideal time to begin sharing books with children is during infancy. From early on, children should own books, be read to often, and see others reading and writing. Also, children should be encouraged to talk about books they already know and to elaborate or add their own storylines or create new endings.
The home environment is critical. Make it a print-rich one. Make sure to put up some signs around the house that use the child's name. Have toys like alphabet refrigerator magnets, writing materials and high-quality books.
There's no substitute for a caring adult who takes time with a child. Vocabulary, language skills and knowledge about the world are acquired during interesting conversations with responsive adults. In fact, talking to adults is a child's best source of exposure to new vocabulary and ideas. In daily life, parents should point out and read print in the environment. With your toddlers, share in making and using grocery lists, singing songs and telling stories.
When you read with your child, help them learn the basic rules of print. Point out how spaces separate words. Occasionally run your fingers along with the words as you read so your child can learn that sentences start on the upper left and go to the right. Point to the period at the end of sentences and say, "That's the end."
As children move from being toddlers to school age, they should increasingly be able to grasp the meaning of language. When you read, stop to discuss unfamiliar words so your child will learn what they mean. Pause to ask questions to help the child predict what is coming next. Help children understand the main characters of stories and encourage them to talk about why these characters act the way they do.
Things to look for in a high-quality preschool include: A well-supplied, well-designed space; strong parent-teacher conferences; a regular daily routine; strong teaching methods; a varied curriculum teamwork among teachers; and language experience.
These tips are drawn heavily from Starting Out Right, National Academy of Sciences Press, 1998.
All over the state – from Eureka to San Diego – students learned that "Reading Takes You Places" and enjoyed getting to know more about our beautiful state through this year's book selection, Our California. Firefighters, mayors, professional athletes, TV personalities and even our Supreme Court Chief Justice got involved and read at local schools to help spread the joy of reading.

This purveyor of prepared locavore specialties added two locations to its empire this year: a café at ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center, and Sugarsnap at Technology Park, which is now home base for the company's prep kitchen and catering division. The produce comes from Sugarsnap's own garden at the Burlington Intervale, but the menu spans the globe, from pork empanadas to Thai peanut chicken skewers.
SEVEN DAYS: What do you do when someone requests food that's wildly out of season for an event?
LAURA KANYA, EXECUTIVE CHEF: Of course if somebody is really adamant on it, we will try and fill their request. But we also stress our philosophy of seasonal and local and the best product is within season. Sometimes, for things like blueberries, we are able to freeze them and use those all winter long. We'll puree basil and use it all winter long in pestos.

Saying No to Bigotry
by Jim Rice | February-March 1993
During the 1960s, Jesse Helms, then a TV-station executive in Raleigh, North Carolina, delivered nightly editorials decrying the "special rights" sought by participants in the civil rights ...
During the 1960s, Jesse Helms, then a TV-station executive in Raleigh, North Carolina, delivered nightly editorials decrying the "special rights" sought by participants in the civil rights movement. His opinion, he insisted, had nothing to do with racism; it was simply a matter of opposing "preferential treatment" for blacks.
Echoes of Helms' rhetoric were heard in Colorado this fall as voters on November 3 approved Amendment 2, designed to strip away legal protection for gay men and lesbians. "Our objective has never been to discriminate," said Will Perkins, head of Colorado for Family Values, the conservative group that sponsored the ballot measure. "Our position is that sexual orientation is not an acceptable criterion for special rights."
The Colorado amendment, however, had nothing to do with "special" rights. Amendment 2 repealed local bans in Denver, Boulder, and Aspen on discrimination based on sexual orientation, and bars the passage of similar laws. Protection from discrimination is not a special right--but special vigilance, as unfortunately has been shown, is required in its defense.
Immediately following the vote, gay and lesbian institutions and individuals reported an outbreak of hate violence, including broken car windows outside gay bars, bomb threats at gay bookstores and community centers, and the firing of gay workers. In all, 23 hate crimes were reported in the two weeks after the election.
Gay rights groups fear that the measure will provoke more violent attacks and further discrimination in housing and employment. Gay men were the victims of three separate murders in the months before the election, and another man was shot to death after his assailants, who thought he was gay, shouted anti-gay slurs. "I can tell you, our community does not feel safe," Susan E. Anderson of Denver's Gay and Lesbian Community Center told The New York Times following the vote.
Even apart from the threat of violence, the vote was disturbing to many Coloradans. Glenda Russell, a Denver psychologist, told the Times, "I don't think the voters understand how painful this is--to be told that you're inferior, a second-class citizen." Lawrence Pacheco, a 23-year-old who two years ago was beaten severely with a brick, said of the vote, "I feel like I've been kicked in the stomach. Do they really hate us that much? I'm a human being, not some kind of deviant."
THE RELIGIOUS right was a key player in the passage of the amendment, and promises more of the same in other states in the months and years to come. Colorado for Family Values, Amendment 2's sponsor, is an offshoot of the California-based, anti-gay rights Traditional Values Coalition, and includes on its executive and advisory boards representatives of right-wing groups such as Concerned Women for America, the Eagle Forum, Focus on the Family, and Summit Ministries.
Members of Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition played an active role in promoting the amendment in churches and elsewhere--and were even more central in the organizing of Oregon's Ballot Measure 9, which failed on November 3. The Oregon Citizens Alliance, affiliated with Robertson's organization, was sponsor of the Oregon measure that would have banned anti-discrimination laws and mandated that public schools teach that homosexuality is "abnormal, wrong, unnatural, and perverse." Leaders of most Oregon churches--including every mainstream Protestant denomination and the state's two Catholic dioceses--played a leading role in opposing the anti-civil rights amendment.
Church opposition in Colorado, however, was less vigorous. While many denominational leaders did come out against the amendment--and United Methodist Bishop Roy Sano strongly urged all 290 UMC ministers in the state to oppose it--the Catholic Church in Colorado refused to take a position on the ballot measure in the wake of the Vatican document this summer opposing such civil protection for gays. Bishops Walter Sullivan of Richmond, Virginia, Thomas Gumbleton of Detroit, and retired Bishop Charles Buswell of Pueblo, Colorado, have--courageously and publicly--stood in opposition to the Vatican's statement, and in so doing have provided an example for other church leaders to follow.
Regardless of what position churches have taken on other questions concerning gays and lesbians, intolerance and bigotry involve fundamental issues of justice and require forceful and definitive response. Churches have a special responsibility to play an active role in the battle against anti-gay discrimination, both because of the primary role the Religious Right plays and because of the moral, ethical, and even theological nature of the human rights struggle that is at stake.
Churches should take a leadership role in calling for an amendment to the federal Civil Rights Act to include protection for gay men and lesbians--which would invalidate local measures like Colorado's Amendment 2. People of faith committed to justice should also prepare to actively engage the Religious Right as fundamentalists in other states seek to make a moral and biblical case for discrimination in the months ahead.
The issue of non-discrimination, of course, raises significant, challenging, and largely unresolved questions for the church itself. We must ask ourselves, What does it mean to truly welcome people into the family of faith? What are the implications of a non-discriminatory stance for church policies and structures? And, finally, how do we move from an ideological or dogmatic approach to these questions to one based on Christian compassion and pastoral sensitivity? The answers will only emerge as we are able to break through the bitter hostility that now characterizes the discussion and genuinely open our hearts to engage in authentic, open-minded dialogue as sisters and brothers.

No. 8 Mustangs survive in dramatic finish
MURRAY — On the brink of heading into overtime, and the postseason dreams of Murray's 21-1 boys basketball team in serious jeopardy at home, coach Darin Wookey decided it was best to let things play out.
An upstart Martensdale-St. Marys team, coming in at 12-10, had tied Tuesday's Class 1A District 12 semifinal game at 47-47 on a drive by Gage Gavin with eight seconds left.
Mustang assistant Danny Jensen turned to Wookey and asked if he wanted to take a timeout.
