Michael Vick: From Felon to MVP?

After spending twenty-three months in sovereign custody, losing a 10-year, $130 million contract, filing for failure protection, as well as trashing his repute as a highest-paid, most earnest quarterback in a NFL, Michael Vick is ready to retrieve his in front of as an MVP contender. But should he be allowed a event to try?

Nearly 40% of convicted felons serving time have been arrested as well as sent at a back of behind bars within 3 years of their parole. Once convicted of a felony, parolees often serve their judgment for a rest of their lives due to few chances at gainful employment. Vick, upon a alternative hand, stands to climb from a ashes of a transgression conviction as well as return to super stardom. Thats a single ruin of a come-from-behind story, but a single without a hero.

After reading about Vicks participation in a killing of under-performing dogs by shooting, drowning, or hanging, theres nothing that could set free his actions in my mind. The best that he can goal for is to go on to compensate with his talents as well as actively work to forestall animal cruelty. Hes creation all a right overtures. we am just not assured of his sincerity.

Vick is now vocalization to young group as well as women in civic areas to urge them not to be similar to him. Hes also operative with a Humane Society of a United States End Dogfighting campaign. The Philadelphia Eagles, Vicks current employer, launched Treating Animals With Kindness as well as donated $50,000 to HSUS. Vick has not made any financial donations personally, maybe its because he still owes income due to filing for bankruptcy.

For dogs, a bleak future

Unlike Vick, a canine victims go on to really suffer. While a little have been successfully completing rehabilitation programs, a harsh being is that a little of these dogs will never be adop! ted, as well as will go on to humour a affects of abuse years later.

For all of this, a Philadelphia Eagles as well as NFL go on to allow Vick to make amends for his transgressions. The fans uncover an uncanny capability to apart a contestant from a man by filling those seats as well as seeking brazen to another win over a Washington Redskins. As long as hes getting 6 touchdowns a game, Vick will go on to be a MVP a NFL loves to hate.

It makes me consternation what would occur if Vick started under-performing. Would he go a way of Vince Young, whose thumb damage as well as attitude competence just get him fired?

Meditation leads to mindfulness Studies point out how valuable meditating can be to overall well-being. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN meditating for thousands of years, but it seems only recently that its gaining credibility by the scientific community. The shame is that many wont even give things a second thought unless some researcher or scientist proves its benefits, choosing to ignore the wisdom of experience. An article at Forbes discusses research done that correlates meditation and happiness .

Notes on a shrike

Photo: dobak Mary Sojourner cant leave the dead bird there to get flattened. I WALK NORTH in the Mojave. I listen to my friend on the cell phone. She tells me of her recent work with a healing process called EMDR. Im about to cross the two-lane highway. Something lies on the edge of the asphalt. I look. It is a dead bird gray and black and white. I pick it up. There is no mark on it, no blood or broken bone. I cant bear to think of it being flattened. The feathers are exquisitely soft against the palm of my right hand. I am walking to the Joshua Buddha and I know to carry the bird to the dead tree that looks like a gray seated Buddha. My friend begins to tell me the details of the second EMDR sessions. I realize I am not listening because I need to concentrate solely on carrying the bird to the Joshua Tree. I tell her I will call her back. At the tree, I tuck the bird in the broken space between the stump and a dead branch. He for I know somehow it is a he is just below what would b...
