Several weeks ago I spent a weekend with Catholic and Orthodox scholars in a colloquium titled "Liberty, Society, and the Economy in Modern Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Thought." I am a parish priest, not an academic, which means I approach the big questions from what I call a "rubber meets the road" perspective. I start with the problem or issue that I am thrust into and work out from there. It's real, sometimes messy, and almost exclusively existentialist. That also meant that I approached the colloquium as a student and did not have much to contribute until the how the ideas we discussed applied to everyday people in everyday life. That's the world in which I practice my vocation so that has become my area of expertise. The practical dimension was welcomed especially by the academics who, as most of us know, can distance themselves from the concrete consequences of ideas and sometimes fail to distinguish the power of one idea over another. It's a professional hazard … [Read more...]

Is America Becoming Europe?
Becoming Europe: Economic Decline, Culture, and How America Can Avoid a European Future Across the Atlantic, Americans see European economies faltering under enormous debt, overburdened welfare states, governments controlling close to fifty percent of the economy, high taxation, heavily regulated labor markets, aging populations, and large numbers of public sector workers. They also see a European political class that is unable -- and, in many cases, unwilling -- to implement economic reform. This timely and sobering video explains why Americans cannot ignore the "canary in the coalmine" across the pond in determining our future. We must ask the question: "Is America becoming Europe?" To learn more read Dr. Samuel Gregg's Becoming Europe: Economic Decline, Culture, and How America Can Avoid a European Future: "This is a book that every economist, historian, and politician should read." — Amity Shlaes, syndicated Bloomberg News columnist "Europe is a … [Read more...]
Catholic Online: An Orthodox Priest Reflects on the Retirement of Pope Benedict XVI
Catholic Online published an essay I wrote on the abdication of Pope Benedict. Source: Catholic Online | By Fr. Johannes L. Jacobse NAPLES, FL. (Catholic Online) – Like almost everyone, the resignation of Pope Benedict came as a shock to Orthodox believers. Those of us who have watched Pope Benedict and his predecessor Pope John Paul II work to lessen the estrangement between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches hope that Pope Benedict's successor will continue on the same path. Two things stand out in Pope Benedict's relationship with the Orthodox Churches. First is his deep understanding of the Christian patrimony of Christendom. The Christian foundation of culture should be self-evident to most, but in our post-Christian (and poorly catechized) age our historical memory has grown increasingly dim. Religion vivifies culture. Christianity is the well from which meaning and purpose are drawn. That meaning and purpose shapes law, institutions, and the … [Read more...]
Fr. Andrew Damick – A Conversion Story: Leaving Westboro Baptist
Source: Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy | By Fr. Andrew Damick (KWCH Eyewitness News) They're known worldwide as the group from Kansas that protests at soldiers' funerals, and says God hates America because it allows homosexuality. Now, Westboro Baptist Church is reacting to the defection of a key member. "She just decided she did not want to obey God," spokesman Steve Drain says. "She did not want to obey scripture." She is Megan Phelps-Roper. The 27-year-old had risen to become a leader in the family church founded her grandfather. In a blog post from Megan Phelps-Roper entitled "Head Full of Doubt / Road Full of Promise" it was announced to the world yesterday that a leading member in the execrable Westboro Baptist Church had, along with her younger sister, in the words of the news story linked above, "defected" and "apologized" for their actions as members of WBC. What the news story (and probably other news stories in the days to come) doesn't seem to get is that this … [Read more...]
The Super Bowl and Morality
- Source: Fr. Peter Preble Blog | By Fr. Peter Preble In my last post, I wrote about my favorite commercial from the Super Bowl, And God Made a Farmer. However, there were some pretty disturbing commercials as well as the entire half time show that I think needs to be addressed. Now I realize that each generation moves along a spectrum, and the previous generation does not always agree. I was reminded on Facebook that Elvis raised some eyebrows in his day with his gyrating hips and what not. But, as I remarked, Elvis kept his clothes on. The first exhibition of how low America has sunk into the moral gutter was the GoDaddy dot com commercial. GoDaddy spokesperson, and race car driver Danica Patrick talks about the merging of the sexy with the technical. The camera moves to a scantily clad woman and, what I would describe, as a geek. The two them start to kiss and the sounds are just stomach turning, and this goes on for what seemed like … [Read more...]
Acton Blog: Dunn, Oikonomia, and Assault Weapons: Misappropriating a Principle?
For better or for worse (probably better) discussion of Orthodox teaching to cultural issues and every day life takes place more often on public blogs than anywhere else. Some critics deride the development of a virtual public square but how does it differ from essays written on paper except that delivery is faster? Moreover, the quality of the writing is often good and sometimes excellent. The communications revolution is changing the Church as it has every other institution. Sharpening ideas by offering them for public critique is a good thing overall. People engaged in public life who know that ideas are important have been doing it for centuries. Below is a response to David J. Dunn's essay An Eastern Orthodox Case for Banning Assault Weapons by Dylan Pahman published on the Acton Institute Power Blog. Fr. Gregory Jensen also crafted a response to Dunn that published immediately below this post. David J. Dunn yesterday wrote an interesting piece arguing for a … [Read more...]
Fr. Gregory Jensen – Canons and Guns: An Eastern Orthodox Response to a HuffPo Writer
Source: Acton Institute Power Blog | Fr. Gregory Jensen Several of my friends on Facebook pages posted a link to David Dunn's Huffington Post essay on gun control (An Eastern Orthodox Case for Banning Assault Weapons). As Dylan Pahman posted earlier today, Dunn, an Eastern Orthodox Christian, is to be commended for bringing the tradition of the Orthodox Church into conversation with contemporary issues such as gun control. As a technical matter, to say nothing for the credibility of his argument, it would be helpful if he understood the weapons he wants to ban. Contrary to what he thinks, semi-automatic weapons can't "fire a dozen shots before a fallen deer even hits the ground." Like many he confuses machine guns (which are illegal anyway) and semi-automatic weapons (not "assault weapons"). Putting this aside I have a couple of objections to his application of a principle from the canonical tradition of the Orthodox Church, economia, to the Second Amendment's protection of the … [Read more...]
Homosexual Marriage at the Dusk of Liberty
- By Fr. Johannes L. Jacobse To define homosexual coupling as marriage violates natural law. It takes one male and one female to create a child and constitute a family. A male-to-male or female-to-female coupling is naturally sterile; biologically closed to the creation of new life. A homosexual "family" then, is necessarily an artificial creation. Marriage is not a creation of the State; it predates the rise of the State. When the State codifies heterosexual marriage, it simply affirms what already exists in nature. However, when the State decrees that a homosexual coupling is a morally licit marriage, it arrogates unto itself an authority to define human relationships that do not exist in nature and thus violates natural law. The State codification of same-sex couplings as a marriage means that moral relativism is being crafted into law. This creates a new conflict. A society cannot live with the tension between the State and nature and thus is left with two available … [Read more...]
Fr. Gregory Jensen: A Field Guide for the Hero's Journey – Part 1 [Book Review]
Source: Koinonia The Pursuit of Freedom & Wealth. Though both are good neither freedom nor wealth are morally sufficient ends in themselves for the human family. Like freedom, wealth is for something. Actually strictly speaking wealth and freedom are both in the service of human flourishing. In the Christian tradition this means that both human freedom and all the myriad forms that wealth takes are only fully realized in love and love is always necessarily sacrificial. We strive to be free and wealth so that we are able to love fully and without reservation or compromise. Too often freedom and love are seen as sui generis, as almost Platonic ideals that are simply "there." My own ministry as a priest has taught me to be wary whenever conversations about practical matters turn theoretical. Freedom and wealth, their morally legitimate uses, the conditions that foster or obstruct their realization and growth, are all matters of prudence. When we try and discuss prudential … [Read more...]
Metropolitan Hilarion Blasts Anglicans for Renouncing the Faith
In a recent speech at Villanova University, Met. Hilarion (Alfeyev) of the Russian Orthodox Church said that dialogue between the Orthodox and Anglicans are under threat because of the abandonment of the Christian moral tradition by the Anglican communion. Orthodox and Anglicans find themselves "on different sides of the abyss which separate Christians of a traditional direction and Christians adhering to liberal teachings." I mentioned in the comments on another thread that one Orthodox prelate speaking with this clarity was the recently removed Met. Jonah of the OCA. Met. Jonah was home grown in a sense in that he was an American born Orthodox bishop who has a keen understanding of the currents underlying the Western cultural drift. Met. Jonah's removal was American Orthodoxy's loss (See: Removing Metropolitan Jonah Hurt the American Orthodox Church) although long term it may prove to be a blessing because he will be able to speak unencumbered by lesser men who don't grasp the … [Read more...]
Tolerance is Not a Christian Virtue
- Hang on to your hat folks. The title does not say Christians should be intolerant. It says instead that tolerance is not an end itself but merely an important working principle in moral discourse and inquiry. Below is a summary of the point given by Abp. Chaput of the Roman Catholic Church. It is taken from a recent speech he gave back in 2009. He spoke to a Catholic audience thus the reference to Catholics, but the principle applies to all Christians particularly his conclusion that "a healthy democracy requires vigorous moral debate to survive." Source: Dover Beach Archbishop Chaput of Philadelphia said in the last year that evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant and then it tries to silence good...We need to remember that tolerance is not a Christian virtue. Charity, justice, mercy, prudence, honesty — these are Christian virtues. And obviously, in a diverse community, tolerance is an important working principle. But it's never an end itself. In fact, … [Read more...]
The America of 2013
America is in a very deep moral crisis. Source: American Thinker | Steve McCann Americans take great umbrage whenever they, as a society, are portrayed by the residents of other nations as self-centered, avaricious and overbearing. While an egregious exaggeration in the past, is it an accurate description now? Who are the American people today and what sort of country is the United States in 2013? How does one describe a society wherein a majority of the people, and their elected leaders, have embraced the following mindset? a) The United States can commit to unlimited government spending as the long-term future of the nation is immaterial and will take care of itself. b) Based on 66 years of unprecedented economic growth and prosperity, the good times will never end and America will under no circumstance experience massive national adversity as there is a bottomless pit of money to be siphoned from an equally bottomless pit of wealth. c) Since the dollar is the … [Read more...]

Hardball Times -- Are the Mariners headed down the same path as the Royals?
The Seattle Mariners have a nice core of young talent around which there will be much optimism this offseason. ... When the Brewers built a young core and made it to the playoffs in 2008, it included Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun. When the Phillies put together a young nucleus of offensive players that led to five straight division titles, it included home-grown stars such as Chase Utley and Ryan Howard. None of the young Mariners projects to be an impact bat in those molds. The best comparison to what the Mariners are doing is what the Royals have done over the past few years. ... The biggest disappointment has been third baseman Mike Moustakas, whose free-swinging ways have zapped his power and exposed his weaknesses to major league pitching. He's yet to be even a major league average hitter and is on the verge of becoming a role player. ... After the 2011 season, there was optimism in Kansas City that mirrors what Mariners fans have right now. Hosmer was coming off a strong rookie campaign and that power was just sure to develop. Moustakas had made it to the majors and even though he struggled, he showed enough potential to get excited over.

The man affectionately known as "Longo" will likely be in the Tampa Bay area for a long time. Monday, the Rays announced star third baseman Evan Longoria agreed to a six-year contract extension worth $100 million.
"It's a very exciting day for us and for Evan," said Rays' principal owner Stuart Sternberg.
The contract means Longoria could stay with the Rays through the 2023 season.
"The message from the beginning was that I wanted to be here for a long time," Longoria said.
The length of the contract is one thing that stands out. The other? The money.
While $100 million is certainly a lot of cash, Longoria, regarded as one of the best in the majors, is a bit of a baseball bargain, believe it or not.
Last year, Detroit signed Prince Fielder to a $214 million contract while Los Angeles paid Albert Pujols $240 million.
And who could forget Carl Crawford's $142 million deal with the Red Sox?
Longoria says this was about more than just money.
"The free agent market really never enticed me. Obviously, guys can maybe get a little more money here or there. But is it really worth it if you're not happy? In my opinion, no," Longoria said.
Something else could also be in play. Crawford famously failed in Boston, and was shipped out just one year after signing his big deal.
Many believe the stress of playing in a baseball-crazed city like Boston for that amount of money led to his demise.
Dr. Angus Mugford is head of the mental conditioning program at IMG Academy in Bradenton.
He says pro athletes face real challenges under those conditions.
"They start to think that they have to do something extra, extra special, or knock it out of the park every time they're up, and that's the danger for any professional or any athlete," Mugford said.
Not that Longo wouldn't be up for the challenge, he just decided the Florida sunshine and the best organization in baseball was too much to pass up.
"There's no better place for me," he said.

Turning Your Blog Into a PDF e-book? (Duplicate Content / Link Bait)
Lets say you have a blog based on anything from vacuum cleaners, skateboards or holidays in Germany is it possible to turn it into a PDF e-book which you can distribute?
What I'm planning to do is to:
1. Copy and Paste my latest 30 posts and into a book.
2. Add a nice front cover with a catchy title.
3. Upload the PDF to my site
4. Distribute links to a page which hosts the e-book on my website.
However, I haven't done anything like this before and I want to know if I am doing it correctly and if it is worth while.
I am concerned that I will be duplicating the content on my site which Google can read and penalise my site because I have diplicated content on my own site.

Hey Luke,
If you're just copying the content from your website into your PDF ebooks, there is a high chance that Google will be able to scan through your PDF and penalise you for duplicated content. However, if you wish to go ahead with uploading a PDF ebook, you would have to include the preferred URL / specify the canonical version in your page. This Q&A article by Google may help you in this (http://googlewebmastercentral.blogsp...h-results.html).
However, I'm not sure if putting articles about vacuum cleaners, skateboards and other unrelated topics into an ebook will be useful from the perspective of content marketing. It would be preferable if your ebook consists of articles under the same topic, which provides more targeted help to people needing advice in a certain area.
Just a suggestion: Why not consider using the ebook as a "freebie" to entice visitors to sign up for your newsletter? This way, you won't need to host your ebook on your website, and use it as a content marketing strategy at the same time.

Oh goody, they are here. Every magazine, newspaper, and most of the online publications known to man are putting together their "2008 year in review" and their "2009 prediction" editions. What a fucking waste of human energy.
This has been one of my pet peeves for 20+ years. For a while I managed to ignore them completely. At some point I started getting asked for my predictions and succumbed to my ego for a few years and participated in the prediction folly. At some point I realized that there was zero correlation between my predictions and reality and that by participating, I was merely helping perpetuate this silliness.
The energy that goes into the "year in review" and "prediction" stuff seems to be significantly greater in "extreme" (both good and bad) times. The prognostications become stronger and bolder. The analysis by hindsight intensifies. I don't think this benefits anyone.
Over dinner recently, I was having a discussion with a friend. The conversation took place in a very full and busy restaurant. At some point the discussion turned to the sentiment throughout the United States right now and how the level of anxiety, negativity, pessimism, depression, and downright panic seemed at an extremely high level and appeared disconnected from general reality. We talked about what "general reality" meant for a little while – both "our realities" (which are different) as well as our view of the "actual general reality in the United States."
As we rolled through some of the discussion, I made the offhand comment that I thought much of the sentiment that existed started near the end of the summer a few weeks before the DNC. As I thought about it more, it made sense. For the 90 days prior to the election, all we heard and read was "things suck in America." Oil hit $135 / barrel and was going to go to $200 / barrel (it's $35 / barrel today.) Gas was going to be $10 / gallon (it's under $2 / gallon in Colorado today.)
I was on vacation in England the week Lehman went bankrupt, AIG melted down, and Merrill Lynch got bought by Bank of America. Amy and I rarely watch TV on vacation (other than movies) but since CNBC's Closing Bell was on about the time we were crawling into bed, we watched it as though it was a sporting event. Over the course of the week, we must have seen 100 different people predict 500 different things. 485 of them were wrong. Oh – and I read Taleb's The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable during this week and just could stop bursting out with cynical laughter each evening. Over the 90 days we heard over and over again how much America sucked. How many problems we had. How everything was totally screwed up.
Of course, the financial markets have been a disaster in Q3 and Q4. The housing bubble has finally officially exploded (doesn't explode sounds more dramatic than burst.) Unemployment is rising. Credit is frozen. Retail sales are massively off this Christmas. All companies except Walmart are having a tough Q4. Blah blah blah. And now come the 2009 predictions.
My prediction for 2009 – the vast majority of the 2009 predictions will be wrong. Ignore them. Find a Dharma that fits your Karma (more on that when I review Strategic Intuition: The Creative Spark in Human Achievement (Columbia Business School) by Bill Duggan, which I read last night.) You get a finite number of years on this planet – make the most of all of them, no matter what is going on around you.
Matt McAdams has a clever blog up titled Up next: telesoftware! He discusses the rise of our favorite new buzzword (hint: it's "Cloud Computing") and spends some time harkening back to its origin (hint: it's the "Application Service Provider.")
I was around at the birth of the ASP as the co-chairman of one of the early ASPs (Interliant) which started out life in 1996 as a "web hosting company" (how passe) and evolved in 1997 into an Application Service Provider. I clearly remember the tech media latching onto the ASP label at the end of the 1990′s right alongside prefixing everything with a lowercase e and postfixing everything with ".com".
The cynics were simple minded – they simply referred to the ASPs as the return of mainframe – or even better – timesharing. Interliant enjoyed rapid growth and a brief period of what looked like success before being decimated during the collapse of the Internet bubble.
Platform-as-a-Service has emerged suddenly with a vengeance. IBM System/370 anyone? The S/370 had this nifty thing called "virtual memory", which evolved into VM, which lives on today as the great new "virtualization" trend.
Telesoftware? Nah – that sounds too much like Telemedicine (what ever happened to that one?) I think we are going to be talking about "planetary computing" once "cloud computing" runs its course since "Sun computing" has already come and mostly gone.
I have seen my lifetime supply of slides like the following:
My good friend Bruce Wyman – the Director of Technology at the Denver Art Museum – has a thoughtful post up this morning titled Simplification of Things, Part 1 of Some. In it, he shows us a better way to communicate what this slide doesn't.
I have a handful of chronic grammar problems. I received the following email yesterday:
You seem like an intelligent guy. But you insist on referring to your friends as, "that." If you're not just trying to fit in by using bad grammar (as everyone else seems to do), show everyone how smart you really are.
"To all my friends that are . . . ."
"Since they are the ones that . . . ."
"(Name) that is . . . ."
How about using the word, "who" instead of "that" when you refer to people? "My friend who will be . . . ." "To all my friends who are . . . ." "Since they are the ones who . . . ."
To which I responded:
I have 12 grammar problems. Then / than, who / whom, accept / except, …., and that / who! Thanks for calling me out on it – I'll try harder but given that I'm 42 and can't seem to get my brain wired for these few things, I'm probably screwed for life.
Thanks oh vigilant grammarians for keeping me on my toes.
While I'm usually amused by the copyright gaffes I see, I laughed out loud when I saw that Google News was still Copyright 2007 (thanks to dschwartz for the tip.)
Dear Mr. Google: It's almost February 2008. Oh – and make the date a variable!
I guess I should be nice since I'm sure some of the companies I've funded haven't fixed (or variable-ized) the copyright dates on their site.

Tarzan and Troy are the final round. I guess the women just don't want Troy to win Immunity since they think he may also have an Idol. The final round is the coconut slingshot thing. Both men get to a point where they only need one more target out to win and then Troy wins. He beats his chest and taunts the onlookers, telling them not to fuck with him. Kat (I think?) points out that all he's doing is losing potential jury votes if he does make it to the finals. Who knew Kat understood this game? Troy tells them that they're all scared of him. He can keep saying that, but it doesn't make it true. Then Troy gives a speech about how he's only been going at fifty percent and now he's turning it on. They all ignore him. Look, I get why he's upset and I understand being competitive, but he needs to take it down about ten notches because Kat's right. People won't forget this if he does make it to the finals. They might want to reward someone who fought and won, but not if that person was an ungracious winner.
Wait a minute. Before the challenge, they told me it was Day 27, but now they're saying its Day 26. Why are we going backwards? When they return to camp, Tarzan tells Troy that he likes him, but he needs to be a noble winner. Troy says he's competitive and that's his personality. Tarzan says they're friends and they can shake hands and still compete. The women don't comment. Troy interviews that his win has made the women paranoid because it's their worst-case scenario.
Kim and Chelsea have a talk about strategy. Chelsea says that they need to keep their strongest women so they have a chance of beating Troy in challenges. Chelsea also believes that Troy has an Idol, so she thinks their best bet is to vote out Leif. But then again, Leif is easy for them to beat in challenges, so maybe they should "make a move." She doesn't get specific about what that move would be, but it seems she's talking about potentially voting out a woman. Then Kim and Chelsea both agree that Troy will exploit any weakness in their alliance. If they voted out, say, Christina, Troy might be able to swing Alicia, Tarzan and Leif to his side by pointing out that they're next and then Chelsea, Kim, Kat and Sabrina are in trouble. They want to make it out like the women are still a united front.
Tarzan helps Leif wash his face paint off and they discuss how it's probably one of them going home tonight. Tarzan says the women might take out one of their own, but they aren't talking to him about their plans and he should have won Immunity so he didn't have to worry. Thanks, Captain Obvious. Troy says he's going to talk to Leif, Tarzan, Christina and Alicia and point out that this is their last chance to dethrone the women's alliance in general and Kim in particular while they have the numbers. Plus, they have to know they are on the bottom of the alliance, so this may be their last chance to make a move. It's a great strategy, but this show has proven time and time again that most people are unwilling to rock the boat, even when it's in their own self-interest.

Fracking. We've all heard the term lately. Fracking is the process whereby water and other chemicals are injected into the earth to cause underground rock formations to fracture, creating space for oil and natural gas to collect and be pumped to the service.
The technology has proved so successful that there is currently an unforeseen boom in oil and natural gas production, which has driven the price of natural gas to historic lows. Low energy prices caused by plentiful natural gas are acting as a lure, drawing manufacturing back to North America. This is much like the natural gas boom, which attracted industry to the Midwest in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
As has been written ad nauseam, modern manufacturing needs workers with advanced skills; industry has been lamenting the shortage of skilled workers for years. The baby boomers are heading for retirement and the cumulative years of experience and skill are not easily replaced. The new factor in this equation is the scale of the shortage. Manufacturing returning to America means the need for skilled workers becomes exponentially greater. The complaints of "there are no good jobs anymore" will soon be outdated. There will be plenty of good jobs, for those with the skills to land them.
However, the shortage of skilled workers could blunt this manufacturing boom. Manufacturing left because the glut of laborers in foreign nations kept labor prices low, increasing corporate profits. The problem now is the reverse. Industry will be drawn back to our shores by low energy prices, but can only flourish if it is supplied with an adequately skilled labor force. If that is not found here, industry will go where it must.
It is time for government, education, and average citizens to step up. Manufacturing has acquired a bad reputation. Thanks in part to successful collegiate marketing strategies, many think their children should grow up to be doctors, lawyers, investment bankers, and other educated elite. How many parents are urging their children to develop the skills needed to succeed in advanced manufacturing? The colleges and universities of Indiana are ideally situated to deal with this problem. This is an historic era, with the possible real outcome of returning America to the position of world leader in manufacturing; restoring her economy to the robust state that was the envy of the world. Whether or not we will wake up to the opportunity and put the necessary resources to work toward this goal is still an unsettled question. We have a late start; will we be able to respond in time, or squander our historic opportunity and continue our slide into third-world status?

The St. Johnsbury's boys basketball team remains undefeated after a 65-48 win at Essex. The Hilltoppers (15-0) jumped out to an early 8 point lead, but the Hornets (8-6) closed to within one at the end of the first quarter. They could never get over the hump as St. Johnsbury's sharp shooting and strong inside presence from Vlad Cobzaru was enough for the victory.
Tyrah Urie had 21 points as Lake Region wins at Winooski, 58-49. With the win, Lake Region improves to 11-2. Winooski, now 9-4 on the season, was lead by Brianna Robare's 21 points.

The FDA has put its foot down when it comes to heart health.
The FDA announced Thursday it will require the food industry to gradually phase out all trans fats from our grocery shelves.
Foods like frozen pizza, chips, packaged cookies and cake mixes are just some of the foods that will take the hit.
Dieticians say we shouldn't see a change in how the food tastes.
"Big named restaurants like McDonald's and Burger King have done away with trans fats completely," said Shannon Purcell, a Clinical Dietician with Memorial Hospital in South Bend. "In 2006, the FDA mandated labeling for transfats."
Trans fats are known for increasing our bad cholesterol and lowering our good cholesterol which can lead to heart disease. The FDA says cutting trans fats could prevent nearly 20,000 heart attacks a year.The Associated Press contributed to this story

Chris Forsberg of ESPNBoston gets us to speed on the Captain playing through pain for much of the past eight weeks after Danny Ainge admitted during Wednesday's CSN broadcast that Pierce had been dealing with the ailment.
"It's something that's been bothering me probably for like the last two months," said Pierce. "It's getting better, though. The last couple weeks, it's been better than it has been."
Those numbers that Pierce has been able to put up during the last few weeks? Yeah, they're even more impressive now. Long live the Truth.

McAfee to Offer Courses at Henry Center this Fall
Beginning this fall, the James and Carolyn McAfee School of Theology will offer three of the core courses for its master's programs at the Henry County Regional Academic Center. In addition, students can also take two courses online as well, allowing them to take a large portion of their master's core courses without having to travel to the Atlanta campus.
The courses fulfill requirements for both McAfee's Master of Arts in Christian Ministry and Master of Divinity degrees.
"The McAfee School of Theology understands itself as a resource for ministers, churches and students preparing for various ministerial vocations," said Dr. R. Alan Culpepper, dean of the School. "Knowing that many students in south Atlanta and middle Georgia are working and find it difficult to commute to Mercer's Atlanta campus, McAfee will offer master's level courses for the first time this fall at Mercer's Regional Academic Center in Henry County."
All three courses at the Henry Center will be taught in the evenings and include Pastoral Care, taught by Dr. Skip Johnson, on Mondays; Faces of Jesus: A Global Perspective, with Dr. Ron Johnson, and Old Testament l with Douglas Watson. There will also be two courses Online, one in the fall, Hebrew Exegesis l, taught by Dr. David Garber, with an online meeting on Thursday evenings, and one in the spring, Church History II, taught by Dr. Loyd Allen. Interested students should contact the Admissions Office at the McAfee School of Theology: (678) 547-6474 orgo>.

6 News and the Muscular Dystrophy Association team up every year for one of the biggest TV productions for a very important cause: to fight against the neuromuscular disease.
This year's MDA event is a little different than in the past.
"This year we are going to shorter show and stronger line-up," said Colleen Connoly. "We are showing our strength by making a muscle and making a difference and we are still going to be showing our local sponsors, who make the programs possible."
The show will run on Sunday, September 2nd on 6 News, from 8pm to 11pm. It's time for all of us to make a muscle and make a difference for the MDA.
Firefighters from Lansing Township were out Friday asking folks to "Fill the Boot" for the MDA. They'll be on patrol at the Eastwood Towne Center all weekend from 10 a.m. to 5p.m. asking people to contribute what they can.

It was the Terrelle Pryor Coming Out Party on Friday Night.
At least if it wasn't, it focused a National Spotlight onto Terrelle Pryor with many people outside of the Raider Nation saying, "Poor Matt Flynn" and "It's TP Time!" With the Raiders' offense floundering for the 2nd straight week with Matt Flynn at the helm, Pryor came in and provided a spark. As it happened, this little spark has led to a full-blown firestorm as HC Dennis Allen has now even acknowledged Pryor's play and, perhaps more telling, has acknowledged Flynn's less-than-desirable play.
"You don't win the job in practice. You earn the right to playing time in practice. You win the job on the field." Marvin Lewsi, paraphrased from Hard Knocks last week. It's an interesting sentiment and we will see how Allen views it since the difference in on-field play appears to be narrowing or perhaps tilting in Pryor's favor.
In ths post, I'm going to look at three different aspects of Pryor's game.
Ball Placement
Think of this as "Accuracy" and then some. It is a combination of knowing where to put the ball and then being able to execute that. Throw the ball to the back shoulder. Place the ball away from the defender so as not to lead the receiver into a big hit. Fit the ball into a tight window, between multiple defenders. Find the hole in the zone. Lead the receiver so that he can run in stride. These are all examples of Ball Placement and is more often associated with Veteran QBs than rookie ones. Often rookie and young QBs have trouble reading zone defense correctly and their throws will lead WRs into a Defenseless Receiver penalty (Yay, Free 15 Yards). (Note : that against Zone defenses, WRs need to throttle down and/or settle into the holes of a zone. The common mantra is "Run thru Man [coverage] and Stop on Zone."). And QBs evolve to be able to throw away from defenders or to make back shoulder throws.
In the Chicago Preseaon game, Pryor made a number of throws with ball placement that was excellent. He did make one notable poor throw (to Streater) in which he overthrew the receiver badly and nearly gave up and interception.
What was remarkable about this ball placement is how good it was; in fact, it was so good that it may have gone unnoticed because it is easy to take for granted. Additionally, Pryor has been diligently working on his mechanics and while at times his footwork seems to get a just a bit muddled, overall it is improved and his throwing motion has become cleaner. Earlier, he had made strides in making it more compact (from the more "slinging" style he showed at Ohio State), but his throws still seemed like they were being "Aimed" and "Flicked" more than "Driven."
And Pryor's throw to Streater had that "Flick"-quality to it owing to the lack of a proper follow thru, but after that, he looked much better. The throw to Mychal Rivera in the seam of the zones was a beauty and was the first throw that made me say, "Yes. I think he's getting close." He then followed that up with that great throw to Jacoby Ford on the sideline and the Nick Kasa TD as well as a very nice swing pass to Jeremy Stewart and I am growing increasingly impressed.

Rush Lane Discipline
The Raiders' offensive line is a mess. Ok. And so the task set forth to the Coaching Staff is how to slow up opposing pass rush and blitz attacks. There will be schemes and attacks and play calling that will help. Typically draws and screens are good to slow down pass rushers a little bit.
But Terrelle Pryor's inherent physical talents may naturally discourage a "Pin the Ears Back"-onslaught. Because of Pryor's fantastic running ability (speed, elusiveness, and strength), he can punish a defense for leaving running lanes open the same way Colin Kaepernick punished Green Bay in the 2012 Playoffs. This may force defensive players to ease up on their pass rush and play more of a "Contain"-type approach instead of the typical pass rush.
This may also limit Stunts and Twists which have a higher tendency to open up opposing running lanes. That would significantly help the offensive line which is already having difficulty building their chemistry and with continual player substitutions (3 different First Team lineups in each of the first 3 preseason games).
Here's a look at how Pryor exploited the running lanes against Chicago.
For more details on the Rush Lane discipline, see this : Rush Lane Discipline
Decision Making
Why do Coaches prefer Veteran QBs to rookie QBs so much? The answer is generally because of Decision Making. The opposite of "Rookie Mistake" is "Veteran [Good] Decision." We expect a veteran QB to understand all the offensive concepts employed, to know where to attack the defense and the defensive schemes, and to be able to make good, smart decisions that--while they may not be the Sexy Explosive Big Plays--will be solid plays.
An NFL GM was once quoted as saying a team should plan on losing 1 game per season for every rookie starter; this is just because of the natural mistakes that will happen as a rookie learns the game. Presumably it's worse if that rookie is a QB. Decision making may be the single biggest difference between a great QB and a mediocre or poor one. Combine Decision making with Ball Placement and you have Tom Brady/Peyton Manning.
We've all seen those poor rookie QB decisions in the past. And as Pryor has played, he has also made some mistakes due to his judgment on the field. That's fact, but what is nice is that mistakes aren't the final judgment on the man; the mistakes are part of the process.
Now what we want to see is that the process is functioning. We should see mistakes NOT repeating themselves. We should see better decisions being made over time. There are some QBs (like Kyle Boller) who make the exact same poor decisions and throws time and time again as if they are unable to learn from the past experience and the coaching corrections. It is still very early in Pryor's development, but it does seem that Pryor is growing in his decision making, which also ties into his ball placement. But in this, he does seem to have the most work to do still. And with such physical talents available to him, it's a more difficult task to make the right decision when he has so many options (which receiver to throw to, scramble to throw, scramble to run, etc).
I want to point out two different sequences and sets of plays that stuck out to me that indicate the progress Pryor may be making.
(1) Roll out Throw
Against Dallas, Pryor had a rollout situation in the Red zone and forced a throw across his body into coverage, which resulted in an interception
Against Chicago, when facing another rollout play, this time Pryor finds his downfield receiver on the sideline and hits him. These aren't truly equivalent situations since there was not a viable target in coverage, but this play did seem to give an indication that Pryor may be understanding the spacing and velocity needed in these compressed-space throwing windows.
(2) Screen Play (no pics)
The other situation was the screen play. Against New Orleans, the Saints had correctly diagnosed the screen play and so Pryor gave up on the play and threw the ball into the dirt at the RB's feet. The Line Judge threw an Intentional Grounding penalty on that play.
Against the Bears, there was another situation where a screen was sniffed out and Pryor this time decided against "dirting" the ball and eventually took the sack. While it seems like Pryor's decision here was not the best (he could have thrown the ball away to avoid the sack), it does seem that he's adjusting to calls from the officials from earlier and so he is progressing. This may be an indication that he is still developing in the mental aspect of the game and needs more experience to quickly make these decisions.
Still, it's encouraging that he's not making the same mistake twice.
It's still early. It's early in Pryor's development and it's far from assured that Pryor has done enough to win the position, but he has certainly done enough to warrant consideration and to get closer and more serious analysis. There's a lot to like and there's a lot to be excited about, but he is still clearly developmental and as such, if he does become the starter there will be certain growing pains. One question that must be answered is whether or not the Trial By Fire approach will accelerate his development or retard it.
It looks like the Raiders will have a meaningful Week 4 game.

I joined Ohio State full time in the Autumn 2010 quarter after serving six years as an adjunct professor of magazine writing.
From 1996 until June 2010 I worked for the United States Trotting Association, as executive editor of Hoof Beats magazine--the world's largest and most honored harness racing magazine--and, since 2006, as director of communications. While at the USTA, I authored "100 Years in Harness," a book marking harness racing in the 20th century.
Prior to that, I was a newspaper editor and reporter in both Philadelphia and the Napa Valley of California, and served as press secretary for Pennsylvania Congressman Jon D. Fox. I worked also in publicity for both the Philadelphia 76ers basketball team and Domain Chandon Winery. I am an active freelance magazine writer, contributing to publications across North America, and speak frequently before groups of all skills and ages on feature writing, magazine publishing, social media tools and their use in personal branding.
My recent focus in teaching and research has been utilizing iPads and iTunes U to "flip" journalism classrooms and provide a self-contained learning environment for multimedia journalism. In 2013 I was awarded the first $25,000 Digital First Impact Grant to put iPads in our news writing classroom.
Both "Writing and Editing for News" and "Always Get the Name of the Dog" have been No. 1 on iTunes U, and my interactive book was featured in the Apple international newsletter.
I am also dedicated to scholastic journalism, and to that end have created a service learning program to bring journalism students into public high schools to help create student newspapers.
I grew up in Capitola, Calif., and I earned a bachelor's degree in Political Science from Temple University and a master's degree in Communication (with a focus on journalism) from The Ohio State University. Now I live in Columbus with my husband, Brian, and our son, Daniel, who is a passionate (and skilled!) hockey and baseball player.

In an ideal world Padilla and Millwood would be healthy and carrying us to a pennant chase. I'm willing to put money that just won't happen. This team has made huge strides as the season has gone on. Hell on Sunday three rookies hit in the winning runs, helping us take 2 of 3 from the Central leading White Sox.
So as a fan what should we expect post deadline as a realistic Ranger rotation? Well there are three scenarios. First, Padilla gets healthy and is dealt. The second is JD realizes playing the kids in the short term may lead to some lumps but in the long term will push this team forward in the later part of 2009 so he trades both Millwood and Padilla. The third is status quo.
I'm not a fan of the status quo. Its led to the worst pitching staff in baseball. More of the same doesn't build toward anything next year.
It appears Feldman will head to the bullpen or pitch till he hits 130 and then the Rangers plan to shut him down to avoid any possibilities of dead arm next season. That opens one spot. I like Matt Harrison, but would rather see him return to AAA to work on mixing his pitches and growing confident in his secondary stuff. At this point I'd like to see what Dustin Nippert's got. Yeah he kinda struggled against the Chi Sox but I'm giving everyone a pass for pitching in 99 degree heat in the middle of the afternoon. Regardless he's out of options and has pitched well as a starter the last month or so in AAA. He also has the best "stuff." The Rangers should give him every opportunity to show why he was once one of the best prospects in baseball. We've had a tendency to give up on pitchers early. I hope we don't make that mistake with him too.
If I could dump Millwood for anything decent right now I would. Hell the Rangers should eat like 5 million on that contract just to buy a better prospect. He's done nothing but decline since he arrived and whatever club house leadership he has is mitigated by the abysmal showings on the mound. Unfortunately, that's what going to keep him here and in this rotation. He has negative trade value. The only silver lining may be that he won't reach his targets to where his option is forced to be picked up by the club.
I'm also in the minority of liking Padilla when he's healthy. I really hope he gets that way and is packaged with someone for a really nice trade. It's not that he's bad but because we can't dump Millwood, I'd move Padilla to ensure there's a spot for Hunter and or Harrison next season.
So it should look something like this:
Millwood, Hurley, Mendoza, Nippert, and Harrison until McCarthy is ready to go then send Harrison back down.
Ideally, it'd be Padilla instead of Millwood but I gave up fantasies long ago. So what does everyone think the Rangers should do and what will they actually do?

Hey Rowbots,
Anyone interested in seeing the full 20-minute press conference Yorvit Torrealba gave at Coors Field on Sunday, we've posted the video in 2 10-minute parts. Some pretty compelling stuff.
"It's something that, not even to my worst enemy I can wish that," Torrealba said. "For three days I couldn't sleep. I could really like not even drink water because I feel like, you know - I mean, I don't even know how to explain my feelings."
Yorvit even goes on to say his son argued with his captors after they told him his dad sucks because he was only hitting .220......

Sarah Bailey of New York City was a very active and athletic little girl. She began playing soccer when she was 6 years old, and over the years, she added tennis, golf, lacrosse, skiing and dance to her schedule. At 14, right before she entered high school, Bailey decided to specialize in soccer. "I loved soccer, and it got to a point where I was very good at it," she says.
Bailey's experience with soccer is a growing trend in a number of sports. An increasing number of adolescents are dropping multiple sports to specialize in a single sport. Whereas in the past, these children played different sports in different seasons, they are now playing one sport year-round.
A Good Idea?
Bailey, who has also coached an eighth-grade club team, believes that it is a good idea, as well as necessary, for anyone who wants to be an elite athlete. "If you want to play at a highly competitive level, you shouldn't be playing two [or more] sports," she says.
Many parents and adolescents agree with Bailey's assessment, which is why so many young people have decided to pick one sport and focus solely on it. One reason for this is the expectation of (or hope for) a college scholarship. Another reason is that the child enjoys or excels at one sport above all others and chooses to specialize year-round in that particular activity.
The child should always take the lead in deciding whether or not to specialize in one sport. "If a child is passionate about one sport, that's fine," says Ron Quinn, associate professor of education at Xavier University and director of sports studies. But a child should not be forced to pick a sport. It's natural for young people to be undecided about the direction they want to take. "How can we ask a 10-year-old to pick one sport when most college students have trouble picking a career path?" Quinn says.
A Bad Idea?
Many pediatricians, psychologists and educators believe that specialization in one sport can do more harm than good. "It is a mistake," says Michael Connor, professor of psychology at California State University, Long Beach. "Kids need the preteen and early years to discover who they are."
Part of that discovery is allowing the child to develop naturally. Because kids mature physically, mentally and emotionally at different rates, a child who has little coordination in the sixth grade may end up growing into their body by tenth grade. Unfortunately, a child who stands out athletically at an early age may be pegged as a star, and coaches and parents may lock the kid into a particular sport for the duration of the school career.
This doesn't allow for the maturation process. The child who specializes in one sport early in life may turn out to be average at best when it comes time for varsity play or college scholarships, and the kids who do mature late are shut out from participating in a sport at which they might excel.
Dr. Charles Shubin, director of pediatrics at Mercy FamilyCare in Baltimore, says that children often end up playing sports that don't match their physical abilities, which can also lead to injury. Another medical concern with sports specialization is overuse injuries. When children play different sports in different seasons, they are using a wide range of motions and muscles. But when they begin playing one sport year-round, the risk of overuse injuries increases.
"The knee of a child or adolescent is different than that of an adult, due to the presence of growth plates of the distal femur and proximal tibia," says Dr. Richard Hinton, orthopedic surgeon at Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore, Md. The immature musculature of the knee less effectively stabilizes the knee, the ligaments resist stress less effectively and the articular cartilage is predisposed to repetitive trauma and injury. "Overuse injuries in the knee are often disregarded as growing pains," he says.
According to Dr. David Marshall, of Children's Health Care in Atlanta, some of the more common overuse injuries, other than problems with the knees and growth plate, include shoulder injuries such as rotator cuff and tendonitis (baseball and swimming), elbow injuries (particularly seen in youth baseball) and foot injuries like stress fractures (usually found in running sports).
Preventing Problems
"Kids need to know their bodies' limits, and not be afraid to tell someone about the injury," Dr. Marshall says. "When children are specializing in a sport, they are less likely to tell anyone they are hurt for fear of losing important playing time." Some children try to play through the pain because of the high competitive level of their teams. Too often this "suck-it-up" attitude is reinforced by coaches who don't want to lose. An injury that isn't allowed to heal, however, can end an athlete's career.
Dr. Jim Neilan of Sports Care in East Hanover, N.J., says that if the child insists on specializing, there are ways to help prevent overuse injuries. "Make sure there are proper equipment, proper coaching, and proper training available," he says. "Parents need to investigate all the risks factors before participation."
Keep in mind that there is no one sport that is best. The key is moderation. "One activity a season is a good rule of thumb," Quinn says. He also advocates for some time off, not just to let the body recover, but also to prevent burnout.
In the long run, sports should be about fun. As long as the child enjoys playing the sport, and moderation, as well as immediate attention to injury, is respected, specialization can be a positive experience.

These useless threads are gay.
Anyone else see it yet?? My wife and I went out with some friends last night in Brandon and saw it finally.
It's not a useless thread talkin about movies that are out with other members, and if you feel that it is you are basically an idiot. As far as the movie goes it was pretty funny but alot of the scenes were waaaaaay too over the top even for an Adam Sandler movie.

Today the UFC held the weigh-ins for UFC 133 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. All fighters made weight with little trouble except Bantamweight Ivan Menjivar who weight in 3 pounds over the 135lb weight class and 2 pounds over the acceptable limit (136lbs). Ivan had two hours to cut the final two pounds but was unable (or unwilling) to do so. His opponent, Nick Pace, accepted the fight despite Menjivar's weight (as well he should as he came in over at the TUF 12 Finale.
Discussion in the comment section of the weigh-in thread led me to wondering whether or not missing weight had a positive or negative effect on the outcome of the fight. My initial thought is that a fighter missing weight would be at a disadvantage. When missing weight a fighter most likely has pushed his body to its absolute limits trying to make the cut. He's completely dehydrated himself which will make it hard be at peak performance by fight night. To take a quick look at this I attempted to find as many recent weigh-in failures from recent UFC history as I could find. Admittedly this is a small sample, but it should give us a quick look at the effects of bad weight cutting.
Details after the jump.
Travis Lutter (UFC 67) v Anderson Silva - Lutter missed weight by 1.5 lbs going into his underdog match against the reigning champion. Lutter seemed to do well in the first, but tapped to a triangle choke in the 2nd Round. It's hard to say how badly the weight effected Lutter as Silva has convincingly defeated all of his UFC opponents.
Thiago Alves (UFC 85) v Matt Hughes - The first round showed both fighters having some success with their respective gameplans. Alves scored on the feet while Hughes landed a takedown and tried to wear Thiago down with some GnP. The second round was a different story, wherein Hughes failed on a takedown attempt and Alves landed a devastating flying knee that lead to a TKO. Thiago has shown very good takedown defense throughout his UFC career, so giving up the takedown in the first could be a sign that Alves was effected by his cut. However, it should be noted that he was explosive enough in the second to score the finish.
Mike Pyle (UFC 98) v Brock Larson - Pyle came in as a very late replacement for Chris Wilson (one day's notice). He was not able to hit 171 in time for the weigh-ins, but was granted the extra pound. It wouldn't matter however as Larson steamrolled him to a quick sub in the 1st. There are two many variables here to really say the impact of the weigh in.
Paul Daley (UFC 108) v Dustin Hazelett - Daley was unable to make weight for the fight (not the first or last time as he's missed weight for 5 of his last 11 bouts). He still managed an impressive 1st round KO of the BJJ black belt. Daley's used to missing weight, 'nuff said.
Rory Markham (UFC 111) v Nate Diaz - Markham came in 6 lbs over the Welterweight limit in Diaz's debut in the division. Undeterred, Diaz outclassed and finished Rory in the first. I haven't seen the fight, but Markham's UFC record is less than impressive, with one win and a KO loss to the fabled power of Dan Hardy. He could have been hindered by the weight cut, or he could just be that much worse than Diaz.
Thiago Alvez (UFC 117) v Jon Fitch - Again Alves makes the list. In a lackluster loss to Fitch, Alves demonstrated why Jon is the #2 WW in the world: You know what he's going to do but it really doesn't matter. Considering that in his previous fights against high level wrestlers Alves has shown strong TDD, I'd say that he was very debilitated by his weight cut.
Ben Henderson (UFC 129) v. Mark Bocek - Bendo was unable to drop a single half pound at the weigh-ins for his UFC 129 bout against Mark Bocek. But it would prove to have no negative impact. Through 15 minutes of dominance Henderson showed no signs of weariness earning a definitive 30-27 decision on all the judges scorecards.
Nick Pace (TUF 12 Finale) v. Will Campuzano - As mentioned above Pace came in over weight in his last bout (coincidentally at the same weight as Menjivar). In a well fought battle by both fighters, Pace would score a modified triangle choke well into the 3rd frame. I've only ever seen the gif of the submission and it still makes no sense to me, but has since been aptly named the Pace choke. Back on topic, there's no way a dehydrated or weakened fighter would be able to win two round through dominant grappling and finish with a unique submission.
Efrain Escudero (UFN 22) v Charles Oliveira - A smaller Lightweight, Efrain Escudero came in at four pounds over the limit for what would be his last UFC bout. Efrain seemed lethargic and uninspired in the fight and literally let C"DB"O throw him around before securing a standing RNC/Neck Crank. It's hard to say if the cut was what killed Efrain's UFC career (being the first TUF winner to get cut) or a complete lack of motivation. And it could be both.
Wins: 5
Loses: 5
The final results obviously give little indication as to the outcome of the a missed weight bout. However, I think some things can be taken from this information. First, with every fight aside from Ben Henderson's and Alvez/Fitch, ended in a finish. And all but one of those ended in the first 2 rounds. This could be an indication that a fighter coming off a failed cut is likely to be able to perform well early, but not later in the fight. It also clearly illustrates that Bendo is not human and can't be bound by logic, and no one expected a finish from Fitch anyway. Second, a failed weigh in is only a small variable in a fighter's performance. Their ability to recover and rehydrate is the most important factor here, and that can hurt a performance even when they are able to cut the last couple pounds (see James Irvin).

With the game and season on the line, Calhoun kicker Adam Griffith calmly stepped up and kicked a 32-yard field goal in overtime to win the Georgia AA State Championship in the Georgia Dome on Friday afternoon.
He also kicked field goals of 29, 46 and 36 yards to beat the four-time defending champions Buford 27-24.
"I didn't think about anything other than just kick the ball," said Griffith, "I wasn't nervous. I was confident."
On the losing end was Alabama commits linebacker Dillon Lee and tight end Kurt Freitag of Buford.
The game almost ended in regulation with Calhoun leading 24-17 and set to punt near midfield with 47 seconds left. However, a low snap and pressure from the defense caused the punter (not Griffith) to fumble. The ball was snatched up by Lee and he took it back for a 40-yard touchdown to send the game into OT.

Lynchburg, VA - Among the thousands that crossed the Boston Marathon finish line on April 15, 2013 was Jeff Harrington, a Lynchburg man, who is going back to run again in this year's race.
Harrington said he's running the race again not for fun, not for pride, and not for pageantry. He said he's running to be in the city again, and in the race that will forever hold a special place in his heart.
"Oh my word, that's not even 50 yards from where the explosion took place now that I look at it" said Harrington as he referenced a picture of him at the marathon finish.
Harrington finished his first 26 miles in Boston less than an hour before bombs rocked the finish.
"It sounded like bombs going off, you're thinking of 9/11 or I was. It's emotional and somewhere in there, still had cell service, family's calling me and we're listening to it on the radio and yeah, it just takes any of the joy out of it" he said.
Harrington was headed out of the city when the disaster began to unfold, and when the phone calls began to pour in from those friends he had, still feet from the finish.
"Sure enough he was the one to call me to ask me if I'm ok because he wasn't far away at all. He saw the dust and everything going off, the bomb" he said.
It was Harrington's moment, but for him and so many, it would be a moment shrouded in sadness.
"There's no question after what happened last year I want to go back and support Bostonians" he said.
So, for a year, he's been training, donning a green Boston Celtics shirt, and envisioning that Boston finish line again.
"Just coming across the finish line I welled up and got emotional. Just going back to support the entire marathon, the people, the fans, the spectators, it's like a 26 mile parade, the entire way folks are cheering for you" he said.
Harrington will return to Boston with a few other folks from Lynchburg. This year's race will be record breaking with more than 35,000 runners. Those that did not finish last year's race were invited to return this time.
