Royals Believe Chicken Pox Limited To Two Players - RealGM Wiretap
The Kansas City Royals are confident no other players will develop chickenpox after Kelvin Herrera and Alex Rios were diagnosed last weekend.
Ned Yost said Thursday that Herrera and Rios were both recovering quickly and that they could come to the ballpark early Friday for a workout. They would be sure to leave before the rest of the team arrived to start a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox.
Herrera and Rios came down with chickenpox while in Tampa Bay Authentic Marian Hossa Jersey , raising concern that others in the organization might have been exposed.
锘? 51 Billion Dollars and rising! Sounds like a company a wise investor should invest in. After all, having a piece of a 51 billion dollar industry is an exciting prospect, filled with anticipation for the future right? Not this time. This industry takes away any hope for the future. Any promise of potential greatness is dashed to the ground, becoming ashes and dust when people continue to invest in this business.
Warnings have been issued over the years advising people to avoid investing in this global industry. Still people chose to purchase the stock - some one share at a time, others in large quantities. Each time they invest even one dollar into this corporation, they participate in destroying their own lives as well as the dreams and aspirations of others. Family and friends are even forced into the role of unwitting participants.
The government has taken a stand, as well as various groups around the globe, making it harder for people to invest in this corporation. Still people choose to disregard the signs that will eventually lead to their own demise. They continue their dangerous path of destruction. Why? Why do well educated human beings choose a pathway that is known to cause heartache and utter despair in order to be part of 51 billion dollar industry?
Doesn't this elusive business have enough of our hard earned money? As well as our personal blood, sweat and tears? I'm sure you're probably wondering to yourselves Authentic Corey Crawford Jersey , 'What industry can she possibly be writing about?' Perhaps you would like to know if you have somehow missed the hundreds of warnings that are issued each year about this industry. Well here is the answer: Have you ever gotten behind the wheel of a vehicle with any alcohol, even one drink in your system? If you have, then you have invested in the 51 billion dollar club.
It is estimated that each year 51 billion dollars is spent on alcohol related crashes. During 2003 (According to NHTSA 2004), 17,013 deaths occurred in the U.S. alone because of alcohol-impaired drivers; 2,136 of those deaths were children under the age of 14. These investors have killed the future. This represents nearly 12 of all traffic related deaths in the U.S.
Most of those murdered were unsuspecting bystanders, not the impaired driver. And that is, after all, what this is...murder. Vehicular manslaughter. Vehicular homicide. You can put whatever name you want on this criminal action to help lesson the burden of the offenders Authentic Jonathan Toews Jersey , but the fact is they knowingly got behind the wheel of what turned out to be a killing machine and killed.
Although the court system doesn't define it as such, actions of this sort can even be likened to first-degree murder. Just look at the definitions for a moment. Taken directly from the site law for kids dot org, first degree murder is defined as: "causing the death of another person with either the intent or knowledge that the conduct will cause death and with premeditation. Premeditation is often described as 'malice aforethought,' which basically means that you probably considered the consequence of your conduct for at least a second before you committed the act."
With all the education available, those who drink and drive know the possible consequences of their actions before they get into their vehicle to drive. Yet, still they turn on the ignition, shift into first gear and off they go.
Why do we allow the death toll from this activity to continue? Several years ago people used the excuse 'There but for the grace of God go I' to turn a blind eye to the problem. That's about the time I discovered that the second member of my family, my sister, had been killed in an alcohol-related crash. (Jurors were sympathetic to the driver of the vehicle Authentic Brent Seabrook Jersey , thinking back to times they had gotten behind the wheel of their car after having a 'drink or two.') The drivers in all these cases got off with a warning or a light sentence.
I have since lost another 5 members of my family and friends to these murderers. Lest you think these are mere statistics I am citing for you, let me put names to my data: Rosie (my cousin, 28, and a mother of a newborn in the car at that time), Janet (my sister, "twin" and best friend, 22), Marsha (my cousin, 25 Authentic Duncan Keith Jersey , and the mother of a five-year-old in the car at the time), and Lisa (my counselee, 12, as well as her mother, 36, and her brother Jonathan,  . As if that wasn't enough, a few weekends ago the tally in my family went up again.
Natasha, 16 years old Patrick Kane Jersey , was on the way to her winter ball. A drunk driver crashed into the side of her vehicle, killing her instantly and turning her boyfriend into a quadriplegic. Thanks to yet another driver who chose to be part of the 51 billion dollar club. This driver hasn't had his sentencing hearing yet.
How can we stop the carnage? Law enforcement has doubled efforts to curtail DWI's, setting up sobriety chec.
