Do you think these Dale Earnhardt Sr. Autographs that I bought are Authentic?Continue
Those are some great sigs, Jeffery and Bill.
same with the glen. You really need a hot pass since the drivers are very fussy about signing there. I have been lucky to catch some drivers but mostly the nationwide guys. a lot of drivers take the back way in down behind the media center. if you fallow the area for the motor coach lot all the way around to the track side of it down by the media center some drivers I heard go in that way and have signed. some not. that is why I would say that track your better off getting a hot pass if you can. I'm looking to see what it would cost next yr for a team helping sponsorship deal for 2 hot passes for the 500. found one lady who says for 2 hot passes for any 2015 race your looking at $900 total for that which by comparison on ebay a steal. so far I'm looking to see if its 200 for a sponsorship for both me and the wife to get maybe a cold pass atleast for the second Pocono race. I was thinking of dover but then said wait for what the total cost just for the nationwide guys was I could ask her for the 2 hot pass deal. said hold off to self and wait for the big one next yr. good luck and I hope you get some good autographs that night.
Thanks for the advise Michael. I have my Fan Zone tickets already. I've been down to Daytona for testing in January before and had really good luck, just never been there for a race. I go to Chicagoland every year and it is difficult to get autographs there without a hot pass, although they are making it easier for the stand alone Xfinity race there next weekend.
Hey bill. if you want to get the drivers autographs you will need a pepsi fan zone ticket. its where if you have seen on TV the 43 pit stalls and where fox does a lot of their reporting from. the last time I was there was about 8 years ago for our honey moon and for the bud shoot out since it fell on the wife's birthday. basically all 43 pit windows have an opening so if the window is open the driver might sign. down by stall 43 there is a gate there. when the wife and I went back in 07 some drivers were signing during the test session for the fans and got Mears, said and I don't remember the third one. Luckly, for the wife on her birthday for the bud shoot out Ryan Newman walked out the gate and she was able to get her diecast signed by him and even a photo with him. the security guard in the background I think was laughing his tail off seeing that. that building is the media center. Also along the back where Nascar has the template zone that is also another area some drivers have signed. Got Roush for the bud shootout back there. that is where the nationwide guys I think are going to be so you never know. The wife and I are looking to go to Richmond for the Night race in Sept has anyone gone to it and if so where should we both try and get autographs from drivers. enjoy Daytona Bill. we are hoping to go for the Daytona 500 next Feb.
I'm headed to Daytona in a few weeks for the 400. Anyone have any tips for me?
that's what I heard. a couple of people who were with us on Thurs had to leave that night and get on the computer to register for it I heard. that is why they missed Kyle, matt, Jamie, Ryan and martin Truex that night. that's cool that he's atleast doing 2 auto's per person that day. I read that the fan thing he had a couple of yrs ago didn't go so great. so many fans wanted his autograph that he missed some things at his own fan thing he put on. Read that he would take so many people in at a time I guess in some sort of tent and they had to put their items down and he would sign it there but I cant remember is photo or no Photo with it. I hope you have fun with kevin that day.
I gotcha i gotcha, thanks alot! I am also going to the Harvick meet and greet that is being put on by the fan club. Am guaranteed 2 autos and a photo with him, that will be prett sweet!

To most people, coffee and espresso is the same. However, the difference is so profound and strong. Espresso is one of the best coffee that people enjoy. It is so refine in taste as it is made from the best and quality beans. Most people tend to prefer the option of buying the coffee from the coffee shops. But, if you are interested in enjoying a warm cup of home made coffee, you need to buy your own espresso machine. There are many different types of espresso machines available in the market today and you have to meticulous when it comes to choosing the espresso machine .
Things to consider
There are factors that you need to keep in mind when you are choosing the espresso machine.
1. The type of machine
One thing that you will notice is that there are different types of machines that you can choose from. You will come across the manual espresso machine. This machine has been designed for those people who do not mind putting in some effort to make the coffee. The best part of the using the machine is that it allows you to control the process of coffee making. This machine is a little bit expensive compared to the other machines. There is also the semi- automatic espresso machine that come with an electric pump for operating the machine. Even though it is automatic, you will be able to have some control over the process. For the people who love comfort, there is the full automatic espresso machine that has been designed with features that will allow you to automate the time and the amount to be produced. You may also choose the super automatic machine that make it easy for you to make coffee.
2. The usability of the machine
It is important for you to determine if the machine can be used easily. Most of the machines do have user instructions that you can use to determine if the coffee maker can be used with ease. Remember to consider your convenience when you are choosing the machine.
3. The cost
The cost of the espresso machine differs in terms of the brand and the type. The quality of the machine is what will determine the type of machine that you will buy. Even though the cost is an important factor, you should not compromise on the quality of the espresso machine. If you are interested in having the best flavored espresso, you need to choose the high end machines.
4. The features
If you want to enjoy the best coffee, then you also need to consider the features that have been included in the espresso machine. Some of the features that you may want to consider include; coffee grinder- having a coffee grinder included in your espresso machine will make all the difference when it comes to the flavor. You should also look out for water filter and the cup warmer features.
5. The size
You may want to consider the size of the espresso machine before you buy it especially if you have a limited kitchen space.

We signed up for Optimum/Cablevision on 5/25/12 after a promotion they ran for Triple Play with FREE Multi Room DVR. The installation was on 5/30/12. Since that day we have not had use of any of the DVRs. We have had 2 dozen phone calls, emails talking to supervisors, managers CSRs, technicians and engineers. We have been told we need to reboot (more than a dozen times) to no avail. They have sent a technician who couldn't fix it. They have asked us to accept a non-multi room DVR - we accepted - guess what - doesn't work. 3 weeks later and a river of total aggravation we just got off the phone with a CS Manager who told us basically to go jump in the lake. If we want DVRs we should come get them and install them ourselves and they are pretty certain that those will work? This is the most insufferable company to deal with they are disgusting - in every way. If you have to choose - GO WITH FIOS - FIOS IS THE VERY BEST CABLE COMPANY ON LONG ISLAND AND IN NY STATE - GO WITH FIOS - CABLEVISON SUCKS - THEY ARE CROOKS AND LIARS AT OPTIMUM / CABLEVISION - THIER EQUIPMENT SUCKS OPTIMUM CABLEVISION HAS THE WORST PHONE SERVICE - THEIR CABLE TV SUCKS - EVERYTHING ABOUT OPTIMUM / CABLEVISION SUCKS - THEY ARE UNBELIEVABLY DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH - RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN - I'M TELLING YOU AS A BRAND NEW CUSTOMER - OPTIMUM / CABLEVISION SUCKS - DEALING WITH THEIR CS MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS = YOU'D GET MORE RESULTS WORKING WITH A CS FACILITY IN INDIA!!! OPTIMUM/CABLEVISION SUCKS!!!!!!! RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN FROM THEM.

What you should know about Roppongi
Hotels in Roppongi
As its reputation has climbed, so too has the quality of its accommodation, and today hotels in Roppongi are among the city's most luxurious. The Ritz Carlton Tokyo sits at the pinnacle—literally. This 5-star hotel ranges over the top floors of the 53-story Midtown tower, the tallest building in Tokyo. Praised for its stunning views and faultless service, it offers guests classy spa facilities and premium dining. Another choice for a luxury hotel in Roppongi is the Intercontinental ANA Tokyo, with its Michelin-starred dining and garden pool. Still classy, but somewhat more affordable, is the designer Roppongi Hotel S, noted for its excellent breakfast and helpful staff.
Things to see in Roppongi
For many coming to Roppongi the sights really start when night falls, in the clubs and bars along Gaien-Higashi-dori. Famed for its multiculturalism, you'll find everything here from Beatles tribute bars and Aussie pubs to J-Pop dance clubs. But there's plenty to see during the daylight hours too—especially since the opening of Roppongi's two new mega-developments, with their upscale shopping malls, art galleries and soaring towers. The Mori Tower boasts the Mori Art Museum, dedicated to contemporary artists and one of three galleries making up Roppongi's Triangle of Art. A few hundred meters away is Tokyo Midtown, with its even higher tower and a complex of high-end boutiques and top-rated restaurants. It also has its own art museum, the Suntory Museum of Art, which focuses on stylish Japanese ceramics, lacquerware, and glassware. More contemporary art is on exhibit at the sinuously shaped National Art Center Tokyo, halfway between Roppongi's two towers.
Good for arts lovers and party people
Roppongi is a neighborhood that knows how to entertain its visitors, whether it's with culture or good times. Arts lovers will adore its 3 museums, while the party crowd will enjoy choosing from among its plethora of clubs. It's also a neighborhood that has long been welcoming to foreigners, making it one of the most open and accessible of Tokyo's districts. You're more likely to come across English here, whether written on signs or spoken, than in the rest of the capital. It's also close to Tokyo's central attractions. That makes accommodation in Roppongi a great idea for first-time visitors.
How to get to Roppongi
There are several routes to get you here from Narita International Airport, but the simplest and quickest way to travel to Roppongi is on the Narita Skyaccess. Catch this from Terminal 2 and you will be at Roppongi Station in 1 hour and 20 minutes, after a quick change at Diamon Station. You can also take the Narita Airport Limousine Bus to Tokyo Station, but the connections involve more changes and time. It's easy to walk around Roppongi itself, but there's also a local bus service, the Toei Bus Line 101, running through the center of the district.

It was reported before the draft that the 49ers had 74 players under contract. They added 20 players to their roster in the last few days (ie. traded for Stevie Johnson, drafted 12 players and then signed 7 UDFAs).
That means that they would have to release 4 players to get to the 90 player limit. Yesterday, the 49ers announced that they had waived 3 players (Darius Fleming, DeMarco Sampson and Dax Swanson).
Don't they still have to release another player to reach the 90 player roster limit?

The Best Herbs to Regrow Hair Naturally

Review: Proporta TurboCharger 5000 – External Emergency Charger Battery Pack
The Wall Street Journal reported today on Samsung's huge profits, and growing stockpile of cash. "After a first quarter marked by a 42% rise in net profit, Samsung said its cash and cash equivalents grew to nearly $40 billion at the end of March." Samsung's earnings report showed a huge profit, and they now have a large and growing pot of cash to put back into their company (and probably back to shareholders as well). A Samsung spokesperson told the J0urnal that the money would be put into"investments sustainable for areas like facilities, R&D, and marketing that will help the company solidify or boost competitiveness". Samsung's been putting out solid, reasonably priced electronics for a long time and in recent years they've made some very impressive mobile phones in particular. Another not so surprising thing about this report is that it shows how much larger a portion of Samsung's profits are coming from the mobile division. "The growth in Samsung's cash reflects a shift in how it generates its profit. In the past, Samsung's chip and components divisions—underpinned by years of massive capital spending—propelled earnings. Now, its huge profit comes largely from smartphones, which generate more cash because they don't require as much capital investment. The division containing the mobile business accounted for 74% of Samsung's operating profit; consumer electronics—such as TVs—and components—such as chips—made up the rest in the first quarter of 2013. Three years earlier in the same quarter, the mobile-phone segment accounted for 25% of operating profit, with semiconductors and LCDs comprising 56%." According to the article,the shareholders are clamoring for a piece of that pie and its likely they'll get it. But it's most exciting that Samsung should be putting a sizable chunk into R&D. With all the cool features of the GS4, the next generation of Samsung phones should be even more exciting!

A river buoy floats in the Mississippi River as barges and their towboat float past it, Wednesday, Aug. 22, 2012 north of Greenville, Miss. The Dredge Jadwin, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers vessel is clearing out some of the silt and left over mud and debris from last year's record flood on the Mississippi River and cutting a deeper channel for barges and their towboats to navigate north of Greenville. Coast Guard Capt. William Drelling said Wednesday that authorities would inspect the channel near Greenville, then reset navigation buoys allowing barge traffic to resume on a limited basis as both federal agencies deal with the continued drought that has lowered the Mississippi River.

Bio: I started writing raps in 2006. Motivated by what I claimed as garbage that was being played on the radio; I felt like I could write as good if not better as the artists that were in the industry. I continued to show people my raps and finding people who were also writing their own raps. Soon we ...See Full Bio
"If it's intelligent lyrics, defined flows and quality recordings you're looking for, here you go. Rap artist Legg the Preacher combines flexible style, over metaphorically-driven songs, with a genuine appreciation for the music. In his first release, 'Lyrics of Mass Destruction', Preacher takes aim at the rap game with an atomic Fat Man of words. In the proceeding release, Legg features on songs by other artists for every track on the album, naming it 'Preachers Features'. It presents lyricists from a wide variety of places while displaying many local acts of the NW Ohio area. Legg is currently in the process of making his latest album entitled, 'Controller of the Road'. Any explanation would take from the message the album is intended to create, but be assured it will deliver. You can find information on Legg the Preacher, upcoming shows and tracks from these albums at Reverbnation.com/leggthepreacher. -Mr.M"

Dealing with Travelocity is difficult for this as you are talking to clerks in India that don't understand the complexities and have difficulty doing this. It takes so long to do this that the airfares will tend to change before the transaction can be completed.
In addition to this, the airlines claim that buying a new ticket for one leg is not legal and they will charge you for not using the unused portion, or cancel the return trip if you don't use the first flight (by buying a new cheaper ticket). I can understand that there can be last minute issues with reselling a ticket, but we are trying to do this more than 2 months in advance. Also, I am willing to tell the airline that I will not use one leg of a ticket well in advance. There should at least be limiting laws that, if I can buy a cheaper ticket than they charge for rebooking, I should be free to do so (provided I tell them what parts of the flight I still intend to use). There should be limiting fees for rebooking, say $100 max for the airline and $30 for the Travel service if you are changing your flight more than a month in advance. The airlines are trying to extort high fees once they have you locked into a flight!

Tablets combine the computing power of laptops with the mobility of smartphones, and the gadgets are lightweight and convenient. There are two operating systems - Windows 8 RT and Android - that make tablets even more functional by increasing processor speed and available options.
Android tablets are consumer favorites because the software is very similar to the programs used on most smartphones. Users can add apps, games and features with only a couple of taps and gestures. Many people enjoy the familiarity and intuitive-nature of Android.
You should always consider your options and find the device that is most suited for your needs. Windows 8 tablets are relatively new, but the devices combine popular features from Microsoft's operating system series with a mobile operating system. The tiled interface bears similarities to the Windows Phone, but it is more customizable and has a wider range of apps.
Once you pick the perfect tablet, you'll need the right accessories. Detachable keyboards are a necessity if you want your mobile device to replace your laptop for all of your computing needs. The peripherals are very important if you buy a Windows 8 tablet so you can easily type in programs like Microsoft Word and Excel.
Screen covers are among the most important tablet accessories. Tablets have large displays that are susceptible to scratches and scuff marks. You can either buy a plastic cover that blocks out dust or a protective sleeve that also saves prevents the bezel from damage. Some covers also feature keyboards so you can have two accessories in half the space.
Accessories can make your tablet even more functional and help you replace your laptop or PC with a convenient mobile device.
Tablets are as much essential as laptops and desktop PCs of a student's back to school digital checklist. Newegg is proud to offer a big selection of the latest tablet computers and the smoothest online shopping experience.

When you imagine a typical "war novel," what do you think of? Most people would answer bloody battlefields and brother-against-brother dramatics, lack of supplies and bleak outlooks. However, The Wrong Blood is undeniably a novel that is centered around war, and yet these things are only minimally addressed. Instead, de Lope's novel focuses on the impact of war on civilians—those not directly engaged in fighting, or (generally) in any of the more violent aspects of it, but affected nonetheless. Specifically, it focuses on two women, and how their lives were changed and intertwined through a course of events set in motion by the war.
One of these women is Isabel Cruces, an upper-class woman who marries Captain Julen Herráiz. Her husband is sent off to war, and she is widowed not long after. Her tragedy is directly connected to Maria Antonia Extarri, the daughter of a former inn keeper, who is abandoned as a teenager when her parents flee the war and their home. Maria is raped when soldiers take refuge at her family's inn, and, through a series of events (both emotional and physical), she eventually ends up as a maid to Isabel. From the beginning, there is an acknowledgement of an odd bond between the two women, but no explanation as to why for the better part of the book. Manuel de Lope does manage to keep it in the front of the reader's mind, however, referencing it off and on, clearly but without overdoing it, as in this passage:
However, anyone familiar with the two locales—that is, the Extarri inn at the crossroads and the Las Cruces villa in Hondarribia—could have told that one of the two had pervaded the other through the subtle introduction of symbols and emblems that assuredly were not limited to the buffalo head and the china chamber pot. Knowing eyes would have detected Maria Antonia's influence in the house after the Senora's death and the expropriation and destruction of the inn. Thus her universe now extended beyond the kitchen, where she spent so much of her time, and her room, which had always been the servant's quarters.
The story of these two women is told in drips and drabbles, more in flashback and hints dropped by the crippled doctor who lives next door, probably the only one (or at the very least, one of the few living) who knows the secret that bonds Maria and Isabel. Thus the connections that are intricately laid can be difficult to trace unless you stop and focus on them. Perhaps this is a side effect of a few too many connections; perhaps it's the simple fact that some of these connections were announced fairly early in the novel. Either way, by the end of the story it takes a moment to recall exactly why everything was connected.
However, even with the momentary confusion that happens once or twice, the good outweighs the bad. Manuel de Lope constructs a story about war that seems relatable, even though the (very large) majority of readers will never face a scenario like this. The emotions are true, and the setting rarely strays to a far-off battlefield, or really anywhere too difficult for an average reader to imagine. The storyline might be a little far-fetched, a little too coincidental to be believable, but on the whole the novel stays true to itself, and keeps you engaged. The Wrong Blood is definitely worth the time and attention it requires.
We know so very little; so little that what we think to be knowledge is hardly worth reckoning with at all; instead we ought to settle for being pleasantly surprised if, on the edge of things, against all expectations, our. . .

Cardinals president: Super Bowl's impact will extend far beyond Glendale
PHOENIX — While the 2015 Super Bowl will be played at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, the economic impact will be felt across the Valley, Arizona Cardinals President Michael Bidwill said Friday.
"The footprint of the Super Bowl is much greater than the stadium itself," Bidwill said told those attending the Society of American Business Editors and Writers' spring conference. "Obviously game day is Sunday, and the footprint of the stadium is extremely important, but what it brings is … close to 150,000 people here."
The last Super Bowl held in Arizona, in 2008, had an economic impact estimated at around $500 million.
"We expect it to be greater the next time around," Bidwill said.
Downtown Phoenix will host Super Bowl Central, a 10-block area that will be home to network broadcasts, street merchants and the interactive NFL Experience for fans. Scottsdale is also planning events.
Speaking with Arizona Republic reporter Craig Harris at Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, Bidwill said it's unlikely that future Super Bowls will be held in small markets such as Green Bay, Wis. Phoenix's bid included a reservation of about 20,000 hotel rooms, a typical requirement.
"There's got to be a certain amount of infrastructure in place," he said.
When asked specifically about Green Bay by Jim Nelson, deputy editor of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Bidwill said that city lacks infrastructure in terms of transportation and roads.
Bidwill's father, Bill, brought the first Super Bowl game to Tempe, Ariz., in 1996. Michael Bidwill helped bring the game to the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale in 2008.
The Valley's third Super Bowl will be even bigger, he said.
"Our game will be broadcast to 198 different countries in 25 different languages," he said. "The NFL will credential approximately 6,000 members of the media from … about 60 countries."
After discussing the Valley's plans to host people and media from across the country for the Super Bowl, one audience member asked: Would the area be hurt economically if the Cardinals played for the NFL championship in 2015 instead of having an out-of-state team come to Glendale?
"I guess theoretically you could maybe make that argument, but I don't know. I think that would be a good problem to have," Bidwill said. "I hope we'll be able to find out the answer in 10 months."
Bidwill, who joined the Cardinals in 1996 and is a third-generation member of the team's front office, said the NFL is ready for an openly gay player. That became a near certainty when Michael Sam, a defensive end from the University of Missouri, came out in February and announced his plans to enter the NFL draft.
"One thing I know about our players is they all come from different backgrounds. They have different beliefs, they have different political beliefs, religious beliefs, different socioeconomic backgrounds, but the one thing they care about is winning football games and competing at a high level," Bidwill said. "They don't care about the rest of that stuff."

AbstractThis paper explores the patterns of human activities within a geographical space by adopting the taxicab static points which refer to the locations with zero speed along the tracking trajectory. We report the findings from both aggregated and individual aspects. Results from the aggregated level indicate the following: (1) Human activities exhibit an obvious regularity in time, for example, there is a burst of activity during weekend nights and a lull during the week. (2) They show a remarkable spatial drifting pattern, which strengthens our understanding of the activities in any given place. (3) Activities are heterogeneous in space irrespective of their drifting with time. These aggregated results not only help in city planning, but also facilitate traffic control and management. On the other hand, investigations on an individual level suggest that (4) activities witnessed by one taxicab will have different temporal regularity to another, and (5) each regularity implies a high level of prediction with low entropy by applying the Lempel-Ziv algorithm.

Carol - Poem by Paola Degli Esposti
I feel numb next to her. Carol. we are walking side by side, the dog barking and jumping and running through the fields, he is driving Carol crazy. I am talking to her about my life in the country, my studies, my aspirations and she listens to me in silence.
She is different from Candy, she looks at me as i am an handsome boy. I am not.
I touch my hairs, i must be a hedgehog, Gus calls me in this way, in the morning.
The last person i want to meet now, it's just him.
In fact i ve changed our usual path, i am doing an alternative one.
' I think you are right, it must be amazing to live here and you can do a lot for your
country, your choice to become a doctor is admirable.
Carol tells me this and runs away following his dog that he is moving too far from us.
When she is back i make her ' the question i had in mind since i saw her for the first time.
' Where do you come from? '
' i am from here, why? '
' Just a curiosity, you look like you come from another country.'
' No, i am from here.'
' Why have you gone away from home Carol?
' I needed to breathe, i know it is not the best, the best it could have been to
take a room in an hotel or in a ranch, but who had the time to think about it!
I smile to her. I don't want to think anything in this moment.
Now i do not know what to say, i am amazed and terrified at the same time.
And we are arrived in front of my house.
We pass the gate and Carol looks around and comments: ' Congrats, amazing
farm! ''
' Thank you! ' i tell her and i see my mother outside the door, she is feeding our
As soon as she sees me, she runs towards me and embraces me.
' Where have you been, I thought you were with Gus, he has looked for
you this early morning.'
For a fraction of time i feel my bloody pressure rising up, ' what the hell Gus
wants in the early morning!
Mum, i ve gone away from them at a certain point, this is Carol, my friend,
i ve met her in the ' Garden '.
My mother greets her and tells her sweetly: You are welcome Carol, please
let me offer you a cup of coffee or tea, what you prefer. Let's go inside home!
' Thank you, Missr Missr? Carol wants to know my mother's name.
' Aura, i am Aura.'
And we follow her inside home, i take a breathe, my father is not at home yet.

Mike Paris: A Place for Everybody in Baseball
: : General
Jim Ecker
Friday, February 26, 2010
Mike Paris drove his specially equipped van to Perfect Game headquarters in Cedar Rapids last weekend, used the wheelchair ramp
on the van to get out
, rolled himself to the front door
of the building
, went inside and parked his wheelchair behind home plate. He was ready to work, just like all the other pro scouts who came
the 2010 Pitcher/Catcher Indoor Showcase.
Paris, 48, has been a scout for about 17 years, including the past 16 years with the Chicago White Sox. He's been in a wheelchair all that time, but it hasn't slowed him down or prevented him from doing his job.
"I'm in a chair," he said matter-of-factly. "You need to do things differently."
The car accident happened in June of 1979, a few weeks after Paris had graduated from a small high school in Iowa. He was 18 at the time. Paris and a friend were on a double-date, returning from a drive-in movie with their girlfriends. His friend was driving.
"I guess he fell asleep at the wheel," Paris said. "He ran into a ditch and hit a culvert. It broke my back. Paralyzed my legs. But life goes on. You kind of play the cards you're dealt, you know? It wasn't my fault, but I kind of got the worst of it, I guess."
He spent two months at Allen Methodist Hospital in Des Moines, then had five months of rehab.
"That's what it takes to get back up and get your mind-set right and get on with life," he said. "I tried to walk with leg braces, but my break was so high that I couldn't. But you get on with life. It closes some doors, but it opens up a lot of others."
Paris played baseball in high school, as a shortstop and pitcher. Suddenly, he couldn't even walk.
"I was laying in the hospital with a broken back, and all these people were coming to see me, some people I'd never seen before," he said.
He received lots of cards and letters, but didn't want people feeling sorry for him.
"What's the big deal, man?" he'd tell people. "I'm just not going to be able to walk again. It's no big deal."
Paris adjusted to his new situation and began making plans. He went to a junior college, then enrolled at Iowa State University. Th
's where his new life began to take shape.
He majored in phys-ed, with a minor in psychology, and got involved with the baseball program at Iowa State under Coach Bobby Randall, a former major leaguer. Jerry McNertney, another ex-big leaguer, was there as an assistant coach. Paris was a willing volunteer.
"My ears were wide open when I was around those guys, because they had a lot of good things to say," Paris remarked. "Believe me, after practice or after a camp, I was going back to my van and writing down what they said, taking notes."
That experience planted the seeds for a baseball career. He's proven he can do the job, without any special favors.
"I believe in scouting, if you work hard someone will eventually take notice of that. That's kind of the way it was," he said, recalling the start of his career. "The old adage was, you've got to get out there and beat the bushes, BP, go to camps. There are a lot of good people in baseball. People will watch out for you, if you work hard."
Paris spent two years as an associate with the San Diego Padres, then about nine months with the Los Angeles Angels and the past 16 years with the White Sox. He lives near Boone, Iowa, and covers Iowa and parts of Nebraska, South Dakota and northern Illinois for the White Sox.
He attends games and practices, goes to showcases, takes notes, meets with prospects, talks to them at the park or on the phone, just like all the other scouts.
"You just change your style a little bit," he said. "Some ballparks are easily accessible, some aren't. The terrain is rough, you know? But I've never fallen out of the chair or anything."
He's been in a wheelchair for 30 years.
"There's a place for me in baseball, there's a place for everybody in baseball," he said. "Scouting, coaching, playing, managing, stats, whatever.
"I get paid to watch baseball," he
with a smile. "The travel is a little hectic at times, but you just adjust to it."
He's refused to be bitter.
"There's no point," he said. "There's never a bitterness about it."

Mother gets 20 years for killing her six-week-old baby with overdose of morphine in her breast milk
- South Carolina's Stephanie Greene, 39, handed the minimum sentence today
- A toxicology report revealed baby Alexis had a level of morphine considered lethal for an adult
- Greene's lawyers say prosecutors didn't prove how Alexis got morphine or that it was passed through breast milk
- The mother-of-three lost her nursing license in 2004 for trying to get drugs illegally
- Her lawyers plan to appeal
Guilty: Stephanie Greene, 39, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for killing her six-week-old daughter morphine in breast milk
A South Carolina mother has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for killing her six-week-old daughter with an overdose of morphine delivered through her breast milk.
Prosecutors said Stephanie Greene, 39, was a nurse and knew the dangers of taking painkillers while pregnant and breast feeding, but chose to conceal her pregnancy from doctors to keep getting her prescriptions.
She lost her nursing license in 2004 for trying to get drugs illegally.
However Greene's lawyer said she was only trying to stop debilitating pain from a car crash more than a decade before and relied on her own judgment and medical research on the Internet instead of the advice of doctors.
The lawyer said Greene is still overwhelmed with grief from the loss of her child, Alexis Catherine Greene, in 2010.
The 20-year sentence was the minimum after a Spartanburg County jury found Greene guilty of homicide by child abuse. She could have faced up to life behind bars.
Greene will have to serve 16 years before she is eligible for parole.
She said nothing in court today and quietly shuffled out of the courtroom, her hands and feet shackled, after she was sentenced.
Her lawyer said she will appeal and it's likely the case will be tied up for years to come.
It is the first time in the United States that a woman has been prosecuted for killing her child through a substance transmitted in breast milk.

Adorable: Alexis Catherine Greene (pictured left and right) was born September 28, 2010, at Mary Black Memorial Hospital
Tragic: Alexis Catherine Greene was just six-weeks-old when she was found dead in her parents' bed in their Campobello home on November 13, 2010
Greene's lawyer Rauch Wise said prosecutors didn't prove how the baby got the morphine and there is little scientific evidence that enough morphine can gather in breast milk to kill an infant.
'The court can't punish her any more than she already has been by losing a child,' Wise said.
Greene's husband Randall Greene did not talk to reporters. Wise said Randy supported his wife and was devastated as he prepared to raise their seven-year-old son alone.
Greene's fourth pregnancy in 2010 was unplanned, but she and her husband of 10 years joyously accepted the surprise, Wise said. She has two children from a previous marriage.
Alexis was born healthy, and her mother chose to breast feed.
Forty-six days later, on November 13, 2010, Greene called 911 to report her baby was unconscious in her bed.
On a recording of the call, she sounds groggy and unfocused. The former nurse first tries to do CPR compressions on the baby's back and has trouble counting to keep pace.
Investigators at the scene found dozens of pill bottles and painkiller patches on her nightstand where the couple's then four-year-old son could get to them.
A toxicology report from the baby's autopsy found a level of morphine in the child's body that a pathologist testified could have been lethal for an adult, prosecutor Barry Barnette said.
Sad: Stephanie Greene's (pictured during a court appearance, date unknown) lawyers say she is still grieving the loss of little Alexis four years since her death
Representation: Stephanie Greene's (right) lawyer Rauch Wise (left) said his client would appeal the 20 year sentence because prosecutors didn't prove how the morphine got into baby Alexis's system
A review of her medical records showed Greene carefully hid her pregnancy from her primary doctor.
After a home pregnancy test showed she was pregnant, she told her doctor she needed to go to a gynecologist for a birth control.
She then got prenatal care from that doctor while not telling her all the painkillers she was taking, Barnette said.
'She was a nurse. She knew how to work the system,' Barnette said. 'She caused the loss of that child.'
But that is an unfair characterization of a woman who remains racked with chronic pain from a 1998 wreck where she fractured her skull and pelvis, Wise said.
'She needed those meds to get up in the morning and function,' Wise said. 'She was on total disability because of her pain, her fibromyalgia and all the other things wrong with her.'
Scene: Little Alexis was found dead inside her parents' home at 180 Kimbrell Loop in Campobello, South Carolina (pictured)
Greene still faces 38 counts of obtaining prescription drugs through fraud, and Barnette said he is still deciding whether to take those cases to court
Greene had her nursing license suspended in South Carolina in 2004 because she was irrational at work, tried to call in a prescription illegally and refused a drug test, according to an order from the state's Nursing Board.
Barnette doesn't want his prosecution to stop women from breastfeeding. He took this case personally because his wife had a miscarriage in 1989. She is a nurse and personally reviewed the case.
'We make sacrifices every day for our children,' Barnette said. 'She decided she was going to have her drugs and sacrifice the health, and ultimately the life, of her child.'

Do you think going bigger is better or is it too dangerous?
Going bigger is always better because every year these sports evolve and the degree of difficulty increases. The mega ramp would have been too big a couple/few years back, but with camps like Woodward, where these world-class action sports athletes train with foam pits to "safely" develop their skills, we will continue to watch bigger air every year.
A perfect example is Travis Pastrana and the double back flip. That move didn't exist until the Godfather Mike Metzger threw the first back flip. Once Pastrana mastered it, he took it to the next level. The double back flip went untouched for an entire year until he finally had a challenger this year, Scott Murray.
We'll continue to watch the sport progress because the public wants to be entertained and the creativity of these athletes will always lead to innovative, larger more technical tricks.
Yeah i was there in the stadium it was pretty crazy, i thought for sure he was a gonner.
check this out this is a sick video of the crash that i took from my seat
I know the mega ramp is too dangerous for me, but I'm not going to tell someone else not to do it. As the sport evolves the ramps are just going to get larger and more dangerous, but that's what keeps people coming back for more. It's exciting. So I say...Go Big or Go Home!
i see the kid that ride mega ramp in europe, italy, fun and crazy

I think the Mega Ramp is a catch 22. I don't think bigger is always better. I think going bigger is a byproduct of trying tricks that require more air. I think much is lost in style points that way, but that is the trade off. I think eventually riders are going to have to get more creative in all genres. I think much of its about execution. Thus the sport does not evolve into a who is stupidest contest. That is how people get hurt. I would rather pay to see style and talent then big and bold.... Don't get me wrong. It love big air..... but it cant be out of control or you have missed the point. Nothing is better than massive air when the rider is calm, cool, and collect and able to stick the landing after some crazy *** trick.... That is where the money is!

Yuna Wears It, I Want It Too
Kim Yu-na, or Queen Yu-na, played a key role bringing the Winter Olympics to Pyeongchang. And in the process, she became a fashionista that women want to emulate.
For two days now, 'Kim Yu-na fashion' has been one of the hottest search words on Naver.com, South Korea's biggest portal site by users.
It all has to do with her outfit that she wore on Wednesday for the final presentation by the South Korean Olympic bidding committee in front of the IOC members in Durban, South Africa.
Her cute, yet elegant outfit of a black shiny dress with the matching cape jacket made her stand out in the sea of middle-aged men in monotonous dark suits. It was all the more eye-catching since people used to see Ms. Kim in athletic wear or a figure skating outfit.
The flattering dress was designed two months ago by Jung Ku-ho for Ms. Kim's presentation. Mr. Jung is Creative Director of KUHO, the high-end fashion brand of Cheil Industries Inc., Samsung's fashion subsidiary.
As soon as words got out that it was KUHO, the company has been receiving a barrage of phone calls inquiring about the dress.
"Our work has almost stopped due to these calls, and most people asked us to manufacture the dress," said Yang Hee-joon, a spokesman of KUHO. The company is considering it.
Mr. Jung established his own brand 'KUHO' in 1997 in Cheongdam-dong, a posh neighborhood in southern Seoul. In 2003, the brand was acquired by Cheil Industries Inc. And it debuted in New York Collection last year in the name of 'hexa by kuho.'
Along with KUHO, the U.S. fashion brand Tory Burch has also become the talk of the town after Ms. Kim matched her outfit with a Tory Burch Reva clutch.

Talk:Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame
From BoxRec
Shouldn't we limit these hall of fame pages to ones that are directly related to boxing?--Matt Tegen 12:30, 5 January 2007 (CST)
If they have a boxer inductee, I think they should be included in the Hall of Fame category (as the category text notes). Otherwise, we'd have to delete even the Washington State Sports Hall of Fame. --Ric 12:39, 5 January 2007 (CST)
