Tuesday marked the one-year anniversary of the bombings that took place at the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013. The families of the late victims and others who were effected by the tragedy gathered in the streets to remember what happened that day and to pay homage to those who had helped to take the city forward.
Many notable Bostonians were asked to speak at the event to comfort and encourage the people moving forward. One of the speakers at the event stated, "There is no way to walk to Boylston Street without being reminded of the evil spilling of precious blood, the hateful strike on a world treasure, but we are also reminded of the amazing capacity of the human spirit to rise in heroism, compassion and sacrifice."
An American flag was lifted on the finish line at 2:50 pm, the time when the first of several bombs went off twelve months earlier.
Mayor of Boston Thomas Menino spoke to all of the people present saying, "I want you to hear this solemn promise. When the lights are dim, know that our support and love for you will never waver. Whatever you have to do to recover and carry on, know that the people of Boston and I are right there by your side."
But the emotional day was to be obscured by another man dressed in black with a rice cooker in his backpack.
The man was reported to be walking around the finish line area and leaving three backpacks unattended. He was later arrested while police and bomb squads did a controlled detonation of two of the bombs, ruling the other to be a fake.
Twenty-five year old Kevin Edson was charged yesterday with "possession of a hoax device, disorderly conduct, and disturbing the peace."
Personally, I think that this was a cruel, insensitive, terrible, and uncalled-for "joke"--if you can even call it that. Edson was probably just trying to make a name for himself, hoping to get the media time that the Tsarnaev brothers did during their investigation. But many people could have been very seriously hurt or killed, and it is never okay to attempt to take the lives of innocent people.

Were We ALL Under Water?
In each of these two articles, the author examines the Great Flood of Noah's day in the Bible. While both recognize that this flood had to have occurred, they take a distinctly separate stand on the magnitude of the catastrophe.
In the article from The Institute of Christian Research, the author argues for the idea that the Flood was a global one and that all corners of the earth were completely covered-- even the highest mountain peaks. He uses Biblical testimonies to back up his point, citing the words of Jesus and Peter, while also using scientific evidence.
In the article from Biologos, the author makes the statement that the Flood was not, in fact, a worldwide one, but a local one. In proving his point, this author uses the original text of Genesis to highlight word choice that point to a more local flood, confined to one region of the world.
Personally, I believe in a world wide Flood that God used to destroy the earth that had become wicked and broken his heart, so he could essentially start over with the one family--Noah's-- that he could find that still followed him. In doing this, I believe that God told Noah of his plans: "I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish." (Genesis 6:17) God then instructed Noah to build the ark, a boat of immense proportions, to take two of every animal to be saved from the waters.
Now, one might argue that two of every kind of animal of the millions on the planet would not have fit on the ark, let alone the millions of undiscovered ones. But we must remember, millions of species are marine animals, which would not have to have been on the ark to survive. And with the cross-breeding and whatnot of today, there are probably millions of species here on earth today that were not around during Noah's time.
And how are we to explain the terrain of the whole earth today if the flood was not a world wide one? Take the Grand Canyon for instance. Does a humongous ditch just appear? Or did some sort of huge inundation have to occur to carve such a masterpiece out to the earth's crust? I choose to believe the latter. And what about the marine fossils and sedimentary rock found near the summits of mountains? Did those just happen to be there? Or were they carried there by billions and billions of gallons of water that covered the surface of the earth? The second seems most logical to me.
All in all, there are pros and cons of each argument. The Biologos people make a great point about the ancient Hebrew words used in the actual account, but geographic features of the earth, in my opinion, point to a different story. The ICR people make great use of scientific logic, but I can see where some people would hesitate to believe in the possibility of a worldwide flood.

So, Plagarism... Yeah, It's Wrong.
If I was ever convicted of serious plagiarism, I would certainly accept the failing grade that I would likely receive and not argue over whether or not it was deserved, because I have been clearly told--and tons of times-- that plagiarism will result in serious consequences. I would make every effort to apologize to my teacher and even thank her for her intolerance of cheating. If I ever was convicted of a less serious case of plagiarism (i.e. improper citation, incorrect paraphrasing, etc.) I would certainly be upset, but nevertheless, I would take the same measures with the addition of a request for help in the areas of documentation that I tended to struggle with.
My parents would absolutely agree with my teacher's actions in giving me a failing grade. They have made it clear to me over the years that they hold me to a high standard of integrity, and they always tell me, "We would rather you do your own work and fail than using someone else's and make an 'A'." They would in no way go against my teacher's guidelines and possibly even have consequences for me at home.
I am not entitled to any grade that I do not earn--regardless of whether or not I pay tuition to come to school here. In fact, no one is. Money should have no bearing whatsoever in a student's passing or failing average, because that would be unfair to students in other schools that do not require tuition payments.
Having been told all my life not to plagiarize, I know it is wrong and have seen the consequences in the lives of other students. But this article appalled me to see that parents are standing up for their kids who have obviously broken the contract signed at the beginning of the year. And they claim that their kids didn't know that they were plagiarizing by copying things off of the internet! As if sophomores in high school don't know what plagiarism is. Honestly, I'm just shocked.
This article has just reinforced in my mind that plagiarism is wrong and should not go unpunished.

Are the Sleeves to Blame?
Last night the Miami Heat fell to the San Antonio Spurs in their biggest loss of the season--a rematch of last years' Finals, no less. But was a third party responsible for the defeat?
The NBA's new short sleeved jerseys may be popular among fans and consumers, but LeBron James is not necessarily a fan. These fitted Adidas jerseys have gradually made their debut over the course of this season, with certain teams asked to wear them on certain nights.
The Heat's first experience with the new threads ended with a six point victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas Day, but James was quick to highlight his disliking of the sleeves even before game time, saying that the new sleeves tugged at his arms, especially affecting his long range jumpers and threes. In that game, James went 0-4 from three point range.
LeBron got a second chance to try out the new design last month in the NBA All-Star Game, during which his theory of the sleeves affecting his long range shots was proved, going 0-7 from behind the arc.
But last night seemed to be even worse for James as the Heat were forced to wear the sleeves yet again. James even ditched the plastic mask he had been wearing to protect his broken nose midway through the first period, trying to figure out what was wrong with his shot. He ended up 6 of 18 on the night with 19 points.
After the game, he said “I’m not making excuses, but I’m not a big fan of the jerseys. Every time I shoot it feels like it’s just pulling right up underneath my arm. I already don’t have much room for error on my jump shot. It’s definitely not a good thing.” But James is not the only one who has complained about the new jerseys over the course of the year, teammate Dwayne Wade and other players across the league have expressed their dislike as well.
During All-Star Weekend, NBA commissioner Adam Silver was asked about the jerseys and replied "We know that shooting percentages are virtually exactly the same for games in which we have sleeved jerseys and teams in which the guys are wearing conventional jerseys, so I'm pretty comfortable from a competitive standpoint that it's having no impact."
Honestly, I cannot say that if I were in LeBron's shoes that I would not complain about the jerseys as well. Coming from a basketball player's standpoint, I would not want to wear sleeves when I play either, but James probably should have left out the whole "I'm not making excuses" comment in his postgame interview. However, the huge deal the media has made about him scoring only 19 points is a bit ridiculous. I mean, yeah, the guy averages around 27 points per game, but everyone has an off night every now and then. Just cut the guy some slack!

UNC Downs the Blue Devils
Well, a game that was postponed due to inclement weather proved to be worth the wait last night, as the Tar Heels of North Carolina defeated the Duke Blue Devils by a score of 74-66 in Chapel Hill, and the UNC students stormed the floor in elation after the final buzzer. This huge rivalry win comes just weeks after North Carolina was 0-3 in the ACC, and the Tar Heels' impressive play as of late has gotten them to 9-4 in conference play.
Marcus Paige led the Tar Heels throughout a second-half rally after being held scoreless in the first. His 13 points, including two clutch buckets in the closing minutes, proved to be crucial down the stretch as the Tar Heels made up an 11-point halftime deficit, and senior Leslie McDonald added 21 for his season-high mark. UNC's 43 rebounds and late free throw conversions proved to be the game changers after they began 1 of 8 from the charity stripe.
Duke's freshman phenom Jabari Parker and Quinn Cook scored 17 each for the Blue Devils, who led by 11 with fifteen to go before going "ice cold" from the field and scoreless for a six minute stretch. Coach K said afterwards, "The crowd, the team, the intensity, we couldn't match it. We just couldn't match it. We didn't have the life you needed to have."
With the win, the Tar Heels became the first team ever to beat the AP preseason teams ranked 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Personally, UNC's big win makes me pretty happy, being a North Carolina native myself and growing up in a family from Kentucky, one of Duke's biggest rivals.
Following the loss, Duke will host Syracuse tonight at Cameron Indoor Stadium for a rematch of the overtime thriller that occurred in the Carrier Dome just weeks ago, when the Orange Men came out on top.

The Orgin of the Universe Debate
Before discussing these two articles regarding the debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham, I want to note that I personally believe in the seven day creation account found in Genesis 1, and I realize that because I have personally chosen a position to stand in, I will be somewhat biased. While I do believe that the creation of the world and how mankind came to be on this planet are two very important features of Christian beliefs, I also would like to point out that these are not the central cores of our belief-- our core is found in Jesus Christ.
In reading these articles, I have come to realize that believing in evolution is not a requirement of atheism. In fact, many who believe in evolution claim to be Christians, stating that God personally designed evolution to run its course in the world, and they make some great points! At first, this assumption shocked me, but as I read on, I realized how much my own beliefs caused me to be prejudiced toward this idea. I then began to remember that to fairly find the truth on the topic of "Evolution vs. Creationism," both sides must remain unbiased-- a thing impossible to attain, seeing that both views are based solely on faith.
In conclusion, I would like to reiterate the fact that while I do believe in a literal seven day creation, I do realize and believe that Jesus Christ is the central foundation of the beliefs of Christianity, so I choose to base my life on Him and what He has shown me that God is like, rather than worrying about whether or not I am correct in my beliefs on the origin of the universe.

Basketball Homecoming 2k14
It is homecoming week here at Trinity Christian Academy, and the student body has had a great week getting to dress down and show its school spirit. Monday kicked off with a day of cartoon characters, bringing anyone from Superman to Fred Flintstone into the halls. Tuesday came back as yet another awesome one as "Animal Day" turned the school into a zoo! Wednesday, students came dressed to impress in their preppiest attire, some even making a jab or two at the school down the street, USJ. Thursday brought celebrities of all ages to TCA-- including Forrest Gump and even a trio of Beibers. And now we have arrived at Friday, with everyone decked out in their purple, black and white to support the Lions and Lady Lions.
But despite all the hype over dress-up days and the Homecoming Court voting, we cannot forget about the game against cross-town rival Jackson Christian tonight.
Having lost in their last meeting with JC, TCA's girls are itching for revenge. The Lady Lions come into their matchup against the Lady Eagles sorely needing a district victory to ensure that they will not have to travel to Middleton or Riverside to play the first round of the district tournament. However, unless something totally unexpected happens over the final two weeks of the regular season, the Lady Lions will most likely have to lock up a road win in the first round to return to the Lion's Den for the remainder of the tournament.
TCA's boys come to play tonight with district rankings on the line. With a win tonight and another next week, the Lions will lock up a first round home game when the district tourney rolls around. Trinity won a close game at Jackson Christian several weeks ago and is looking to complete the season sweep.
Both of these games will be tough matchups as both schools will rely on hot shooters, tough defense, and momentum swings-- with a little pride on the line.

The "Student" Athletes of UNC
Mary Willingham, a former learning specialist with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has recently spoken out with some appalling news regarding the student athletes of the university-- or maybe we should just call them athletes... because according to her findings, they really aren't much of students.
Early in Willingham's tenure with the school, a young athlete came into her office for help with his studies, and she "panicked" when she realized that he couldn't read or write. Later, Willingham came into contact with another that couldn't read words with multiple syllables and yet another who wanted to learn how to read "so he could read about himself in the news." A recent CNN study of a few schools discovered that many students that play basketball and football could only read at an eighth grade level.
Willingham decided to conduct her own research and screened 183 athletes that played either basketball or football for UNC in the years since 2004. 60% were able to effectively read between a fourth and eighth grade level, and 8-10% were able to read no higher than a third grade level-- shocking statistics at such a academically prestigious university. However, this isn't the first time that UNC has been investigated on similar issues. A few years back, the school was accused of giving passing marks to student athletes who had, in fact, never attended the class or even turned in an assignment.
The university has now refused Willingham permission to report her findings to the media, and continues to question the integrity of her research.
Now, by no means are collegiate athletes who struggle in the field of academics an uncommon thing, but being unable to read just seems ludicrous. In my opinion, collegiate student athletes should be required to retain a certain grade point average while keeping up with their studies, and their professors should be checked periodically, because after all, many of them will not pursue professional careers in the NFL, NBA, or MLB This current event makes me wonder just how prepared the former student athletes, now turned businessmen and women, are to run our world today.

TCA vs. Middleton 1-17-14
The Lady Lions of Trinity Christian Academy will face off against the Lady Tigers of Middleton High School tonight in Middleton, Tennessee. Coming off two straight district losses on the road, the Lady Lions (2-4, 15-A) are in desperate need of a road win to put them back in contention for the 15-A title. The Lady Lions have shot poorly on the road so far this year, only winning one game not in the Lion's Den. Senior shooting guard Savannah Seeley may make a return tonight after missing the last several weeks due to an ankle injury sustained previously during the season-- the Lady Lions have sorely missed her three-point stroke. The Lady Tigers remain ranked as one of the top teams in the state at #8 with one of their star players returning this year after a knee injury to join two other standouts, hoping for a shot at the district title. Middleton's big three have played extremely well, carrying the Lady Tigers throughout the season with some physical, athletic play. Even tough TCA has had trouble getting started in Middleton over the past few seasons, one can rest assured that this will be a contest for the ages.
