Carl Joseph-Wonder On One Leg

Carl Joseph sacked quarterbacks, dunked basketballs and excelled in track and field-all on one leg! He was simply born with only one and never considered it a handicap and competed with athletes who had both of their limbs.

Joseph has been nominated for the Florida High School Athletics Hall of Fame.

Rudeness Gets A Smackdown

Cellphones. They are everywhere and everybody seems obsessed with them. I remember walking through Irvine Spectrum on a Saturday night and the place was loaded with kids and most seemed to be staring hypnotically at their cell phone screens. Another sign of the times, I suppose, but at least they were quiet.

Of course, the most annoying people with cell phones are the ones who think they are the only people in the room and theirs is the most important conversation taking place at the moment. Isn’t it true they are almost always loud talkers?

In this video, from Kim Komando’s site, watch while the performing musicians get even with one of the rude-boys.

The Amazing Story of Team Hoyt

To be able to train day in and day out, whenever we want is something we just should not take for granted. Rick Hoyt has never been able to do that on his own until he asked his father in 1972, through the help of a specially designed interactive computer, to take him on a 5 mile benefit run. You see, Rick cannot talk or walk, let alone run, but to date, Rick and his father, Dick have done 958 running, cycling and swimming events together as Team Hoyt. Read the amazing history of Team Hoyt.
