Loyola press release - September 28, 2012
The generosity of a Joseph A. Butt, S.J., College of Business alumnus to provide a real-world and state-of-the-art environment for investment students will come to fruition as the Carlos M. Ayala Stock Trading Room opens its doors next month.
Business alumnus Carlos Ayala '57, credited his education at Loyola for his remarkable success in life and as an investor. After graduating, Ayala returned home to Cuba, where he was involved in a serious car accident. While in rehab in New York, he began his career as a salesman, eventually relocating to Miami. After retiring in the mid-90s for health reasons, he concentrated his efforts on investing in the stock market. Through rigorous research, Ayala did his homework and took his initial investment of $30,000 and turned it into millions.
Ayala's accomplishments as a businessman and close relationship with his alma mater resulted in a generous $1.5 million gift to the College of Business in 2011, a portion of which went towards the new stock trading room. Ayala's gift was also used to support an existing student-managed investment fund, scholarships, funding for more investment classes and a research database system.
"Ayala's gift towards the stock room will be felt on campus for years to come and will help put us on a level playing field with other business schools in the region," said College of Business Dean William Locander, Ph.D. "It will also elevate the work being done by our investment studies students by giving them the best tools available to help them succeed."
Located on the first floor of Miller Hall, the stock trading room will provide a working environment for students enrolled in the Student Managed Investment Program, which successfully manages a $1 million dollar plus portfolio. It will also provide a facility with hands-on training using real financial information and market data. This will aid in investment research and the understanding of financial markets.
The room will feature an external glass wall to allow the campus community to view the state-of-the-art technology, including a ticker board which will display market data for a variety of stocks, indices, bonds, currency and commodity data. Four LCD screens mounted on the back wall of the room will display cable news, such as CNBC financial news, while markets are open. The LCD screens will also be utilized as an instructional tool and a display for financial and news broadcasts.
Twenty workstations with dual monitors will be used to conduct financial research by the Student Managed Investment Fund students and finance faculty. Several of the workstations will be dedicated to host financial data terminals. The remaining workstations will be used to access Reuters/Bridge, Thomson Analytics, Morningstar and other financial data services. These workstations will allow the Student Managed Investment Fund students to conduct analyses utilizing specialized investment research tools.
When not being used by the Student Managed Investment program, the room will be open as a computer lab for the campus community, ensuring that students and faculty from across campus will benefit from the university's newest lab.

More often than not throughout the last three years, Matt McGloin has bristled when someone mentions those two words. For all but one of the five years he spent at Penn State, he had a scholarship to play football. For none of them did he ever feel as if he had been treated any differently because he joined the team without one.
And what did the beginning matter, anyway, if he truly believed the ending remained thoroughly under his control?
On Monday afternoon, Penn State's record-setting quarterback who proved the doubters wrong throughout his career showed himself something, too.
Where he began really did matter.
McGloin earned the award that he would later say defined his career, winning the Burlsworth Trophy, the 3-year-old honor bestowed upon the nation's best player who began his career as a walk-on. McGloin beat out two fellow finalists - Michigan safety Jordan Kovacs and San Jose State tackle David Quessenberry - as well as 47 other nominated players for the honor.
Considered the heavy favorite heading into Monday's ceremony at the Springdale Convention Center in Springdale, Ark., McGloin admitted he has a new appreciation for his demure beginnings at Penn State, saying he came to realize that the award honors not just the beginning of his career, but how he finished it.
"After today, I realize what I've accomplished in my career," McGloin said in a telephone interview. "Today, I thought about a lot, what this journey has been like, all that I've gone through. This was truly an honor and a blessing."
Despite a terrific career at West Scranton, during which he earned The Times-Tribune's Male Athlete of the Year award in 2008, McGloin didn't receive a scholarship offer from a school that competes in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision.
Former Nittany Lions coach Joe Paterno, though, invited McGloin to be a preferred walk-on at Penn State, and McGoin joined the Nittany Lions in the fall of 2008 as the fourth string quarterback behind starter Daryll Clark and backups Pat Devlin and Paul Cianciolo.
But McGloin earned a scholarship quickly, being told by Paterno in a meeting just days before the start of the 2009 season, and he climbed the depth chart steadily after that. By fall 2010, he had surpassed four-star recruits Rob Bolden, Kevin Newsome and Paul Jones to become the first former walk-on to start a game for Paterno.
He'd throw four touchdown passes against Northwestern on Nov. 6, 2010, to help Paterno get his 400th career win, and less than a year later, he'd be the starter in Paterno's final career game on Penn State's sidelines, but for most of his final two seasons under the legendary coach, he battled Bolden for playing time despite superior numbers.
But in June, first-year coach Bill O'Brien named McGloin Penn State's starter for 2012, and McGloin didn't disappoint with his performance. He threw for 3,266 yards and 24 touchdowns, numbers never before surpassed in the program's history. During his senior season, he set nine career or season records and tied another, earning honorable-mention All-Big Ten for his efforts.
Still, for all of his accomplishments, McGloin said the heavy, bronze Burlsworth Trophy is certainly the biggest honor he has received throughout his football career.
"This is definitely No. 1," he said. "It has to be. Not only does it recognize where you started your career, it recognized the end of it as well. It recognizes all the struggles, all the adversity you've faced in your career. It recognizes everything you've gone through."
McGloin's parents, Paul and Cathy, along with his brothers and uncle made the trip to Springdale. They were treated to a ceremony that featured three big-screen televisions showing highlights of the finalists careers, and throughout it, he and his brothers chatted about how bright the future of the Burlsworth Trophy appeared to be from those seats.
But the best part for McGloin? Getting to know the story of Brandon Burlsworth, the namesake of the trophy and the inspiration for the Burlsworth Foundation that got the award going. Burlsworth started his career at Arkansas as a walk-on, then went on to become one of the best offensive linemen in the SEC.
He died in a car accident just days after the Indianapolis Colts selected him early in the third round of the 1999 NFL Draft.
"Learing about his story, the road he started on as a walk-on, every accomplishment he achieved in his career, it was inspiring," McGloin said. "All-American. All-Academic. To win his award, it's truly a great feeling.
He was one of the greatest walk-ons ever."
Now, McGloin said he can write his name in that club, and feel proud to do so.

Planning an outdoor summer wedding? Here's what you need to do to ensure everyone is comfortable and happy when it's hot and humid out.
The first important task is to assess your venue for its direct sunlight pattern, says Sharon Naylor, author of "The Complete Outdoor Wedding Planner" (Three Rivers Press, 2001). Try to tour the site a few weeks before the big day during the time when your event will take place and request that the seating and/or tent be set up in the section that gets shady first. If you opt for a tent, avoid clear tops that can magnify heat, and ask if you can get one with oscillating fans, air-conditioning and/or misters, says Lisa Morales, owner of event planning company Haute Weddings, San Antonio. "You can also rent free-standing misters which will make the surrounding area feel up to 10 degrees cooler," Morales adds. If your seating is otherwise unprotected, make sure the tables are equipped with large umbrellas, and consider providing fun parasols so that guests can wander with their own shade, says Naylor. Customized hand fans also come in handy during a steamy party. "They look so cute hanging off the ceremony or reception chairs," says Morales, "And they make for a cute favor."
Drink Up
To help keep guests cool, you'll also want to have plenty of ice-cold drinks. Morales suggests kicking off the festivities with a pre-ceremony bar that features fun agua frescas or Italian ices, as well as filling metal or other decorative containers with chilled bottled water that guests can grab as needed. As refreshing as a beer or margarita might feel, the truth is that alcohol is dehydrating, so have plenty of booze-free beverages (such as fresh lemonade, herbal iced tea and virgin sangria) available throughout the event, Naylor says.
Regardless of what guests imbibe, if the ceremony won't be under cover, have your ushers hand out mini tubes of sunscreen. Or if the reception is a bigger concern, Naylor advises placing bottles of SPF on each table. "Opt for lotion rather than sprays since you don't want guests accidentally spraying each other, food or open candle flames," she says.
Bug Off
Another thing to keep in mind is that annoying and potentially painful insects will be attracted to humans, water and any food displays, including the cake. In addition to keeping the cake indoors until the cutting (this also will prevent melting), ask your venue to spray for insects 48 hours prior to your wedding, says Naylor, or stock the bathrooms with repellent.
As for apparel, make sure guests are aware of what kind of temperatures to expect by including a note on your wedding website. Dress-code categories like "Summer Cocktail Attire," "Casual Outdoors Dress" or "Outdoor/Garden Attire" would all suffice, says Morales. But feel free to be more specific, says Naylor e.g. "Dress is summer-cool and summer-casual - ladies are welcome to wear sundresses and men are welcome to wear button-down shirts and khakis."
Plan ahead for hot weather and there will be nothing left for you to do on your wedding day but chill out.

Scientists believe that 80 percent of the volcanic eruptions on Earth take place in the ocean. Most of these volcanoes are thousands of feet deep, and difficult to find. But in May of 2009, scientists captured the deepest ocean eruption ever found.
Nearly 4000 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean in an area between Samoa, Fiji and Tonga - the West Mata volcano was discovered. The explosions of molten rock were spectacular. This volcano was producing Boninite lavas believed to be among the hottest erupting on Earth. Scientists also witnessed molten lava flowing across the deep-ocean sea floor and spotted shrimp living near the volcanos most active areas.
This research allows us to closely examine how ocean islands and undersea volcanoes are born. It may also shed light on how heat and matter transfer from the interior of the Earth to the surface, and how life adapts to some of the harshest conditions on our planet.
Finding West Mata was a huge break for scientists and for those interested in seeing what takes place in the deepest depths of our ocean.

Joseph Ratzinger was born on April 16, 1927 — Good Friday — in the southern Bavarian village of Martkl am Inn. He was baptized on Holy Saturday at the Easter Vigil, celebrated in those days in the morning.
"The more I think about it, the more fitting it seems that I was baptized on Easter Eve, not Easter," he writes in his memoirs. "We live in this world not in the full light of Easter, but journeying toward that light, full of hope."(You can read a biography of the Holy Father here.)
To help you on your own journey "journey toward that light," Our Sunday Visitor offers a number of books by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, drawing from his extensive writing -- both as Joseph Ratzinger and as pontiff -- as well as talks, homilies, audiences, and more. You'll discover the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, holy women, the virtues, the Apostles, great teachers, and more. Visit newosv.osv.com/shop for more information and to order.

Light in an Oklahoma Tornado
Even the reporters are choked up. What the monster tornado tore up in Moore, Oklahoma is tearing at our hearts.
Houses gone. Neighborhoods gone. Schools gone. Children. Gone.
People wandering the streets "like zombies," trying to figure out where their house was. Parents waiting in the mud, looking for some shred of hope that their child is somehow alive beneath the rubble of their school. Children in shelters, wondering if they'll ever see their parents again.
The photos, the stories, the video images - they defy words. Some of them have struck a pretty deep chord in my heart.
Like the team from Joplin, Missouri, hurrying to help people in a way only they can. Two years ago, it was part of their town that vanished in the deadliest twister ever. They know how having your world erased in a moment feels.
It's strange. The worst things that happen to us become the compassion and comfort we have to treat other wounded people. Those who've been hurt become heroes of healing for others who are bleeding. As the Bible says, "We can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God" (2 Corinthians 1:4 ).
Somehow our pain has meaning when we can use it to rebuild someone else's life. I call it crud-entials. How the crud of your life qualifies you to help a hurting world.
I was touched, too, by the directive given by the rescuers at the leveled Plaza Towers Elementary School. Knowing there were children in that rubble, the first responders asked everyone to be quiet. "So we can listen for voices."
That's what I want to be better at. Stopping the chatter so I can listen for the voices of people in trouble. They're all around us. If we have ears to hear their cries. They've been buried by one of life's violent storms. It's easy to miss them if we're running so fast we run right by them.
God, help me listen for their voices.
Now the stories of the hero teachers are surfacing on every newscast. Like the teacher at Briarwood Elementary who knew what the approaching tornado could do to these children she loved. So she told them, "We're going to line up our desks, get under them and play 'Worms.'"
And they sang real loud - a little song I sang as a kid. "Jesus loves me, this I know." Good to know when your world is falling down around you. The roof of the school was on top of their desks. And they were OK.
Then there were the teachers who threw their bodies over their students' bodies. Abandoning themselves, risking their lives to save their children. For me, that's the Man whose sacrifice has changed my life. "Jesus loves me, this I know."
I'm still thinking about the woman who got her kids from the soon-to-be demolished school just in time. And reached her home just in time to get everyone into their recently-built safe room. It's all that was left when the storm passed by.
I loved what she said about rebuilding her house. "I'll build it around the safe room." Good idea. For a life, not just a house.
There are so many sudden storms...so many life-changers that are beyond our control. We need a safe room. Where the storm that takes so much away cannot take you. An unshakeable eternity. An unloseable love.
"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure" (Hebrews 6:19 ). That's what the Bible says about Jesus. He's my one Safe Place. Storms have taken their toll. But I'm OK. Because He's never let me go.

All News Releases By Date
Bridgeport Conn. Landlord Fined for Failing to Notify Tenants about Lead Paint
Release Date: 03/22/2013
Contact Information: David Deegan, 617-918-1017
(Boston, Mass. – March 22, 2013) – Juan Hernandez, the owner of approximately 80 rental units in 17 properties in Bridgeport, Conn., will pay a penalty of $69,000 under a settlement with EPA for allegations that he violated federal lead paint disclosure rules.
According to a complaint filed by EPA's New England office, Juan Hernandez allegedly violated lead-based paint disclosure requirements when he rented apartment units between 2008 and 2010, and failed to: give tenants required lead hazard information pamphlets; include lead warning statements in leases; disclose any known lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards; and/or provide records or reports pertaining to lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards. EPA's complaint alleged that these violations occurred with respect to seven tenancies in Hernandez's rental units.
Because most residential housing built before 1978 contains some lead-based paint, lease transactions involving these units must comply with federal lead disclosure requirements. During the time period relevant to EPA's investigation, all of the apartment buildings owned by Mr. Hernandez were constructed prior to 1978 and are located in potential environmental justice areas. Mr. Hernandez was targeted for inspection due to reports of children with elevated blood lead levels at his properties.
Federal lead disclosure rules are meant to give tenants adequate information about the risks associated with lead paint so that they can make informed decisions before signing a lease contract. Property owners leasing housing built before 1978 are required to provide the following information to tenants: the EPA-approved lead hazard information pamphlet, Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home; a lead warning statement; statements disclosing any known lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards; and copies of all available records or reports regarding lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards. This information must be provided to tenants before they enter into leases.
Infants and young children are especially vulnerable to lead paint exposure, which can cause developmental impairment, reading and learning disabilities, impaired hearing, reduced attention span, hyperactivity and behavioral problems. Adults with high lead levels can suffer difficulties during pregnancy, high blood pressure, nerve disorders, memory problems and muscle and joint pain.

WASHINGTON — As head of the FBI's cyber crimes division, Shawn Henry often had to deal with exasperated company executives after his agents informed them that their networks had been hacked and their secrets pilfered.
"By whom?" the company officials would ask. "What have they taken? Where did it go?"
"Sorry," Henry's agents had to reply, "that's classified."
Even though the FBI in many cases had evidence the attacker had been backed by a foreign intelligence agency, agents couldn't disclose it because the U.S. government believed doing so could compromise top-secret sources and methods.
Henry, 50, decided this year that such a dichotomy shouldn't put companies at such a disadvantage. So after 24 years of service, he left the FBI to become president of CrowdStrike, an Internet security start-up in Irvine.
His new mission: to make life difficult for hackers trying to attack American institutions.
CrowdStrike is at the forefront of a new business model for cyber security, one that identifies sophisticated foreign attackers trying to steal U.S. intellectual property and uses the attackers' own techniques and vulnerabilities to thwart them.

Skogen Named NDUS Interim Chancellor
Bismarck, N.D. -- The North Dakota State Board of Higher Education today appointed Larry C. Skogen, Ph.D., president of Bismarck State College, as the interim chancellor of the North Dakota University System. Dr. Skogen has been serving as acting chancellor since June 24, 2013. His appointment, effective November 1, 2013, will run through June 2015.
"Dr. Skogen has done an excellent job as acting chancellor the past three months, and his appointment today reaffirms the confidence the board has in the leadership and vision he has been providing," said Board President Kirsten Diederich. "As a former North Dakota college president, he is uniquely positioned to be the interim chancellor. The North Dakota University System is among the best in the nation, and Dr. Skogen and the Board are looking forward to working with the University System staff, campus leadership and our elected officials to achieve the best possible outcomes for our most important resource - our children."
President Diederich also noted that Dr. Skogen has a demonstrated record of success in working in a collaborative environment, building strong relationships with key constituencies and is well positioned to refine and implement the Pathways to Student Success Plan designed to take the North Dakota University System to a higher level of accountability and performance.
The other candidate was Shane Goettle, former Commissioner of the North Dakota Department of Commerce. "It was a very difficult choice, because both candidates have impressive qualifications and impeccable credentials," said Diederich.
Dr. Skogen, a native of Hettinger, North Dakota, has been president of BSC since 2006. Previously he was academic dean and deputy superintendent for academic affairs at New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, New Mexico. Dr. Skogen has taught history in collegiate and military settings and served in other capacities in the U.S. Air Force, as director of operations and inspector general of the Francis E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming from 1998 to 2001. In 2004, he was an educational consultant to the United Arab Emirates. He hold a B.S. degree in secondary education from Dickinson (N.D.) State University, an M.A. in history from Central Missouri State University, Warrensburg, Missouri, and a Ph.D. in history from Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona.

Paula Deen's "Today" show interview may have started out as an attempt at an apology by the former Food Network star for her admitted use of a racial slur in a legal deposition, but reaction on social media outlets has quickly turned into an attack on interviewer Matt Lauer.
Was Lauer too harsh on Deen?
In Deen's "Today" appearance, the host interrupted Deen frequently. When she attempted to apologize, he insisted on focusing on the "business" side of the ordeal. His demeanor was that of a serious interviewer with a no-nonsense approach to the subject.
New York City-based crisis-management consultant Mike Paul told the Los Angeles Times that the interview "only added to this perception that she is out of touch." But based on social media reaction, it also turned Lauer into the bad guy.
PHOTOS: The Paula Deen scandal
The "Today" Facebook pages erupted in comments immediately following Deen's appearance, with the majority of them focused on Lauer's treatment of Deen.
"Matt Lauer was rude and condescending in his interview with Paula Deen, not to mention he continued to interrupt and cut Paula off during the interview -- he was on the attack -- no wonder his popularity is dwindling down!" wrote Nancy Powell.
"Geez Matt, you weren't interviewing Claus [sic] Barbie for God's sake. It was Paula Deen. I have to wonder if you would want to be held accountable for something you said 25-30 years ago. I know I wouldn't. This is a non-story," wrote Sandy Ammon.
PHOTOS: The Paula Deen scandal
Commentor AC Schultz followed with "Has Matt Lauer been forgiven? Its all over social networking and internet that he was discriminating Ann Curry [sic], bullied her. Is that somehow different than being 'racist' ??? Was that appropriate behavior for business Matt? Seems in your case, it was! #doublestandard."
People also took to Twitter to show their support for Deen. Actress Stacey Dash wrote "God does everything for a reason @Paula_Deen Only God can judge your heart BTW my daughter loves your show (only way she can get me to cook)."
Courtney Shumpert @courtneyraeSC wrote "Like no one else has ever said a derogatory comment; rappers do every day, but we don't fire them. At least she is apologetic #pauladeentoday.
Despite her fans' support, TMZ is reporting that Caesar's Palace has announced it will no longer work with Deen and will close all four of Deen's restaurants on its properties. Deen was also recently dropped by the Food Network and major sponsor Smithfield Foods.

Dear Dr. Mohler:
Thanks so much for this thoughtful response. I felt a bit like a schoolyard bully posting an aggressive piece on The Huffington Post but, when you didn't respond to my more constructive piece on the BioLogos site, I felt I had to metaphorically poke you in the chest, or take your pencils, or insult your mother to draw you out. The internet playground is a cruel place.
You asked why I posted at Huffington, suggesting that it strokes my ego to post there and get "favorable attention" from the friendly atheists. You must not have looked at the comments I get there. As a Christian defending faith to that audience I find myself constantly covered in digital vitriol. I might be too liberal for you, but I am nowhere near liberal enough for them. I think that song my kids used to sing -- "Nobody likes me, everybody hates me…." -- was written for poor souls that try to reconcile Christianity and evolution.
Our mission here at BioLogos is to seek God's truth as best we can, a humbling enterprise. I imagine that you would say the same thing about your seminary. Not unlike heliocentrism in Galileo's day, we believe that the scientific evidence so strongly supports evolution that we must take it seriously and, if this brings us to new understandings of the Bible, then we will wrestle with those, fully aware of the challenges. I understand that your conviction about Biblical inerrancy convinces you that the Gospel is at stake and therefore our project is an enemy of that Gospel and so must fail. I interact regularly with Christians who share your views. In fact, one of them just scolded me quite vigorously via email for treating you so shabbily at The Huffington Post!
My personal passion for this topic derives from my long experience in Christian education, watching students struggle as they come to terms with modern science. Sadly, there is a history of many of them leaving the Christian faith over the topic of evolution. Having been raised to believe they must make a choice between evolution and their faith—the very choice you continue to promulgate—many of them, unfortunately, find that, when the rubber meets the road in their science classes, they have no choice at all. The scientific evidence compels them to accept evolution, and the logic of their faith tradition pushes aside their faith.
When I spoke at a leading evangelical college in the Northwest about my book Saving Darwin, a young woman approached me, almost in tears. "I was taught in my Baptist church that I could not believe in evolution," she said. "And now that I have learned in my biology classes that it is true, my faith has collapsed." Her pleading eyes met mine: "I want my faith back," she said, with powerful emotion. "I want to be able to believe as you do,that evolution and my faith can go together."
I hope that you are wrong when you say that there can be no reconciliation, for I fear for our church if simple education in well-established scientific ideas becomes a well-lighted exit from our faith. To perpetuate this either/or choice is to guarantee that this exit will continue to be filled with disillusioned young people.
In speaking with young people over the years I have become greatly frustrated at the misinformation being fed to them in their churches. If people want to have all the facts and draw a different conclusion than I have, then I am fine with that. But when our young people are being told falsehoods as a way to keep them from taking evolution seriously I am very concerned and upset. And yet this is almost universal in our churches. I often ask my students questions like:
How many of you have heard that Darwin repudiated his theory on his deathbed?
How many of you have heard that Darwin was an atheistic crusader against religion?
How many of you think Darwin invented evolution to prop up his atheism?
Hands go up on all counts. Sometimes all hands go up which means that every single one of my students was told something false about Darwin in their church.
When you made the statement that "Darwin left on his expedition to prove the theory of evolution," it was a powerful trigger for me. I was reminded first hand of just how hard it is to dislodge these false notions that are being widely employed to poison our young people against evolution before they even have a chance to consider it. You are well-read and, judging from the references you have made, you are reading some of the best material out there. I am grateful for that. But still you easily slipped into that common misrepresentation, which you have now acknowledged. I am encouraged by that.
One of your defenders has pointed out my irrationality in identifying you as a crusader for truth in my BioLogos post and then saying the opposite at Huffington Post. Your response, albeit tardy, inclines me to my former evaluation. I especially note that you agree that your statement "Darwin left on his expedition to prove the theory of evolution" misrepresents the actual situation. You note, in your defense, that this was but one sentence in a long address, which is true. But it is a critical hinge on which much of the discussion turns.
Many anti-evolutionists deny that there is such a thing as evidence for evolution. Phillip Johnson notoriously claimed, in his mischievous but very influential book Darwin on Trial, that evolution was not based on facts and observations but rather is promoted to "persuade the public to believe that there is no purposeful intelligence that transcends the natural world." The message in Ken Ham's museum is based on the same idea—the disturbingly postmodern idea— that one's "assumptions" determine what conclusions they draw from inspection of the natural world. So, although I highlighted a single sentence, that sentence is a hook on which many anti-evolutionary arguments—and perhaps a noose for poor Darwin—have been hung.
I am contented that we can disagree, although I think you have hyperbolically over-stated the incompatibility of evolution and Christianity. There are literally hundreds of millions of Christians who are not threatened by evolution despite the various challenges that I outline in my book. (As an aside, I should tell you that my publisher came up with that subtitle despite my objections that the book was not a theological "how to manual" for reconciling Christianity and evolution.) I do not think it is helpful to the church for you to insist so strongly that this cannot be done, for it is precisely that rigidity that drives many of our thoughtful young people away.
Let me conclude by responding to your charge that what I "have actually succeeded in doing is to show how much doctrine Christianity has to surrender in order to accommodate itself to evolution." As a theological layperson, I hesitate to engage a trained theologian on this question, but let me rush in where angels fear to tread and offer that "doctrines" are human constructs, much like "theories" are in science. They are not facts—they are explanations or interpretations of facts.
You seem to equate your understanding of how the Bible should be read with plain-fact Christian orthodoxy. There we must part ways, and I suspect that at the end of the day, this may be the real point of contention. I do not think that I am showing how much doctrine Christianity has to surrender, but how problematic fundamentalist literalism is for engaging science. But even this may imply more disagreement than there needs to be.
Here is an example of what I am talking about. You and I both agree, as a simple matter of fact, that we are sinful creatures. I look within myself and see dark tumors of pride, greed, mean-spiritedness, lust. I covet the praise of all those atheists over at The Huffington Post. I suspect you can say the same thing, perhaps forgoing the praise of the atheists. On this factual matter we agree. I think we might also agree that the salvation that God has provided in Jesus empowers us to rise above those things and to not be weighted down with the terrible knowledge of just how sinful we are. We are forgiven as we embrace the saving power of Jesus. Is it not here that we find the central truth of our faith? Our sinful nature is a simple reality. G. K. Chesterton said it was the only empirically verifiable truth of Christianity. And it is certainly a clear biblical teaching. But is it not possible that we might have different ideas about how we came to have that nature? Does the saving power of Jesus vanish if sin becomes something that developed through natural history, rather than appeared all at once in the Garden of Eden? It seems to me that there is a conversation to have here, beyond simply drawing a line in the sand. Satisfactory answers to questions like these are truly "How to be a Christian and Believe in Evolution."
At BioLogos we have made our peace with evolution, and it has been liberating and even faith-affirming. We encourage conversations to further that agenda and make no excuses for that. We are not destroying Christianity. We are saving it.

(Health.com) -- Parents can check out growth charts -- a nifty graph that tells them where their child falls in relation to peers in terms of height and weight -- just about everywhere, from a child's vaccination records to the doctor's office.
Parents may not interpret growth charts correctly and believe their overweight child is fine.
But there's a problem: A new study suggests that most parents don't know how to read the charts and may think a child's weight is perfectly fine, when, in fact, the child is obese or overweight compared to peers.
More than 12.5 million children and adolescents are overweight, and these numbers are on the rise, according to the U.S. surgeon general. If most parents don't realize that their child is overweight, the new study, which appears in the October 4 issue of the journal Pediatrics, has implications in the war against childhood obesity. Health.com: 25 Diet-busting foods you should never eat
In an Internet survey of 1,000 parents, 79 percent said they had seen a growth chart before, and the majority of these parents believed they understood the information. In fact, about one-third of parents said they used a growth chart at home.
However, only 64 percent of respondents could correctly determine a child's weight by looking at plotted points on a growth chart. What's more, up to 77 percent incorrectly interpreted the data when looking at a combined height/weight measurement chart. Only 56 percent were able to correctly define percentile in a multiple-choice question. A percentile, which is shown as lines drawn in curved pattern on a growth chart, measures how a child compares to his or her peers in height and weight. Health.com: Kids on the run: The new trend in family-friendly fitness
Specifically, 51 percent of parents did not understand that a child in the 10th percentile for height (meaning they are shorter than most of their peers) and 90th percentile for weight (meaning they weigh more than most of their peers) was overweight.
The survey was conducted by Dr. Elana Pearl Ben-Joseph, a consulting medical editor at KidsHealth and the Nemours Center for Children's Health Media, and a pediatrician at the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, in Wilmington, Delaware, and colleagues.
Overall, parents with lower incomes and less formal education were least likely to comprehend information on growth charts, the study showed. And if parents were concerned about a child's weight at all, they tended to think they were too skinny, not too fat. Health.com: How to grocery shop on a diet
"The present study underscores how poorly we as clinicians are getting through to parents," says Dr. Anjali Jain, an assistant professor of pediatrics at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, in Washington, D.C. Parents often do not believe that their child is overweight or at risk for health problems, or think a child will outgrow "baby fat."
"Two dimensional lines and plots are not able to speak a language that parents understand," Jain points out in an editorial published with the study. Perhaps, she suggests, discussing height and weight in terms of clothing size may help parents better understand if their child is overweight or obese and at risk for serious medical problems as a result. Health.com: The real reasons we eat too much
"It is real to them if they are having to buy clothes frequently or if hems always need shortening to accommodate girth," says Jain, who is also a pediatrician at Children's National Medical Center, in Washington, D.C.
Dr. Alan Rosenbloom, a pediatrician in New York City, says "many parents -- too many parents -- are not understanding their pediatrician's translation of the growth chart data, and this is disturbing to me."
The study suggests that it's not enough for pediatricians to show parents a growth chart; they need to explain the numbers too, according to Dr. Rosenbloom. "Growth charts and [body mass index] charts can serve as great tools in the fight against childhood obesity, but only with good comprehension by the parents who need to understand the data," he says.
Parents must understand their children's height, weight, and body mass index so that "we can tackle the problem of obesity with improved diet and exercise regimens when obesity exists," he says. "[They should also] encourage healthy eating habits from an early age so that we can prevent obesity before it develops."

The procedures called Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (PCI) are among those that are the most effective for opening blocked blood vessels that cause heart attacks.
The heart is a muscle that gets oxygen through blood vessels. Sometimes blood clots can block these blood vessels, and the heart can't get enough oxygen. This can cause a heart attack. Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) is one of a class of Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (PCI), which are among the most effective ways to open blocked blood vessels and help prevent further heart muscle damage. A PCI is performed by a doctor to open the blockage and increase blood flow in blocked blood vessels. Improving blood flow to your heart as quickly as possible lessens the damage to your heart muscle. It also can increase your chances of surviving a heart attack. There are three procedures commonly described by the term PCI. These procedures all involve a catheter (a flexible tube) that is inserted, often through your leg, and guided through the blood vessels to the blockage.

Lavish Gardens Sprout Up on Luxury Penthouse Roofs
Luxury homeowners living in urban penthouses and terraces are installing bespoke greenscapes as carefully curated—and sometimes as costly—as art collections.
Thirty-five stories above New York Harbor, Fred Rich can stroll through his groves of Japanese maple, spruce and pine trees or sit under a pergola hung with grape vines, where wild strawberries and thyme grow between the paving stones. There is a hidden alpine garden, an orchard of plum, peach and heirloom apple trees, and espaliered pear trees growing on copper screens.
"There is always something in bloom," said Mr. Rich, who will be dining on fresh arugula, spinach and radishes from his vegetable beds this week....

The latest version of Apple's iPhone 4 is on sale in Beijing's electronic stores and luxury hotels, months before the official launch of the trendy smartphone in China, state media said Tuesday.
Privately imported iPhone 4s are available in the capital for as much as 17,000 yuan (2,500 dollars), the China Daily said. That compares to a starting retail price in the United States of 199 dollars.
Vendors were confident customers would pay the hefty mark-up as the iPhone 4, which boasts high-definition video, video chat and sharper screen resolution, is not expected to be officially launched in China for at least another six months, the paper said.
"The iPhone 3G which I am using now can greatly satisfy my needs, but it is still good to have the latest one. It is fashion," Zhao Zhan, 24, told the English-language newspaper.
Fans mobbed stores last week when Apple launched the iPhone 4 in Europe, Japan and the United States. The California-based company says it sold 1.7 million iPhone 4s in the three days after its launch Thursday.
China's grey market in Apple products has been developing for years to satisfy demand for the iPhone, which only officially went on sale in China in October — more than two years after its US debut.
China Unicom, the only Chinese telecom operator that offers the iPhone in the world's largest cellphone market, has said it is in talks with Apple to sell the 4G handset and the iPad.

Where on earth — literally — did this plane go?
It's a question being debated endlessly on cable news TV, radio talk shows, social media and among strangers in parking lots. As the saga of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 drags on, it's been labeled as one of the greatest aviation mysteries of all time.
With so few known facts, conspiracy theorists are having a field day, and speculation is running rampant. Specialists from aviation to sleuthing have been pulled from the woodwork to weigh in on the debate, and we've all learned how to use the word "nefarious" in a sentence.
It's almost impossible not to get pulled into the intrigue, the drama. We are reading a riveting novel in real-time — and it's proving far better than any ripped-from-the-headlines crime drama. After all, who doesn't love a good mystery?
Cable TV, for one, does. With wall-to-wall coverage on the missing plane for days, CNN pulled out its best graphics. Suddenly we're inside the plane, looking at knobs and controls in the cockpit. We gaze on as maps rise up from the floor, and anchors draw swooping trajectories and large circles of "search areas" with electronic pens.
As is typical in its coverage, the network has named its segments on the airline: "Vanished: (X number of days)." Somehow — and I write this with a begrudging kind of admiration — the cable network has found a way to sensationalize one of the most sensational news stories in recent history.
And it has paid off.
The New York Times reported March 17 that, according to Nielson, CNN's ratings have "soared" due to its coverage of the missing jetliner, "rising by almost 100 percent in prime time."
"It's an incredible mystery full of human drama with an international element," said an unidentified executive in the story.
"Human drama" is the key phrase. Key for TV ratings and round-the-clock coverage, yes, but also key for reminding us, as consumers and as Catholics, of the 239 human lives that were aboard Flight 370 when it disappeared.
How easy it is for us to get caught up in speculative theories and the latest data analysis and to forget to pray for their safety, their souls and their families, who wait, day after day, for any kind of concrete information or closure. We don't have to go far to find the agonizing stories. A sleepless father who never turns off his cell phone. A girlfriend who refuses to unpack moving boxes. Husbands, wives, children, friends still waiting and — heartbreakingly — still hoping.
It's taking a moment to stop and think of these lives, and the lives of their families, that can help us snap back into focus. Because the mystery of the missing plane isn't a TV crime drama. And it's not the latest Nelson DeMille novel. It's a real tragedy with real lives at stake.

The Lafourche Parish Council will not vote on a measure to allow bars to stay open until 3 a.m. on weekends.
The Lafourche Parish Council will not vote on a measure to allow bars to stay open until 3 a.m. on weekends.
The ordinance's author, Councilman John Arnold, said he is pulling the proposed change to "do more research."
Arnold's proposal would have amended parish ordinance to allow bars to sell alcohol until 3 a.m. on weekend nights while they would still have to close at 2 a.m. the rest of the week.
"I want to do a little more research on how different parishes have adjusted to 3 a.m. sales," Arnold said.
Arnold had been pushing the measure, claiming it would be an economic stimulus to bar owners in the area.
Meanwhile, Lafourche District Attorney Cam Morvant II released an opinion this week stating Arnold's involvement in the ordinance is an ethical breach.
Arnold owns Club Illusions on La. 1 near Lafourche Crossing. The club was formerly a strip club known as the G-Spot. Arnold said the club is closed and will reopen as a night club.
"The Louisiana Ethics Code prohibits any public servant from participating in a transaction in which he has a personal substantial economic interest of which he may be reasonably expected to know involving the governmental entity," the opinion reads.
Morvant said economic interest is legally defined as 25 percent or more ownership.
The opinion noted councilmen typically abstain when parish business intersects their personal business.
Arnold said the opinion had no bearing on him withdrawing the proposed change. He could have asked someone else to sponsor the measure, he said.
"I think we will approach it again at a later time," Arnold said. "A little more research needs to be done to check out other parishes and see if it has caused any safety issues," Arnold said.
Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre previously spoke out against the proposed change.
"The existing law has functioned well for the 30 or so years it has been in place," Webre said. "To expand it further will create safety issues, particularly with impaired drivers and such."
The ordinance would have extended hours only in areas outside incorporated Thibodaux and Golden Meadow.
"You would have another problem if the people in Golden Meadow and such leave (at 2 a.m.) and then drive somewhere in the parish for an extra hour of consumption before driving back to their home," Webre said.

KNOXVILLE, TENN. -- The Peoria Rivermen put the Knoxville Ice Bears in an early hole and never let them out of it Friday in an SPHL game.
The Rivermen chipped out two goals and rode veteran goaltender Kyle Rank to a 2-0 victory in a goalscoring duel before 3,127 at Knoxville Coliseum.
It was Rank's league-leading fourth shutout, and came with help from a Peoria penalty-kill unit that erased all six Knoxville chances and now is 12 of 12 against the Ice Bears after three games in the season series.
Knoxville, which lost its sixth straight and eighth in last nine, has gone without a goal against the Rivermen over the last 102 minutes, 4 seconds.
Peoria, meanwhile, won its fifth game in seven outings with goals from winger Parker Stanfield and center Adam Hartley on Knoxville's under-sized ice surface.
"This is the kind of building where because the ice is smaller, you have to play in the trenches," Rivermen head coach Jean-Guy Trudel said. "We did that.
"Kyle Rank was very sharp, on his game, and our defense was terrific, our penalty-kill delivered a great effort. It's tough to move the puck on this ice size, and we were up against a team that has been struggling and was determined.
"So we couldn't ask our guys for more."
Peoria jumped to a 1-0 lead during a delayed penalty at 5:19 of the first period when Stanfield cleaned up a rebound forced by Nick Prockow and put it past goaltender Bryan Hince.
Hince held Knoxville in the game during a scoreless second period, making big stops on Peoria sniper Garrett Vermeersch and Dean Yakura.
But the Rivermen took a 2-0 lead seconds after their power play expired at 3:09 of the third period when Yakura's feed across the low slot set up Hartley for a redirect from above the right edge of the crease past Hince's left pad.
RIVER READINGS: Rivermen defenseman Jarrett Rush and winger Parker Stanfield were both back from ECHL call-ups and in the lineup Friday. ... Peoria signed and dressed former Bloomington defenseman Kory Helowka, and he delivered an assist on the game's first goal and some solid penalty-kill effort. ... Rivermen winger Aaron McGill switched uniform numbers, turning in his No. 26 to take over No. 78, vacated when Justin Gvora bolted for Europe this week. ... Rivermen winger Matt Viola (upper body injury) was in uniform and on the bench, but did not play.
