From AOL Sports Adam Taliaferro was a cornerback for Penn State in 2000. "In the fifth game of his freshman season, Taliaferro was left paralyzed by a spinal cord injury sustained while making a tackle against Ohio State. Despite overwhelming odds against him ever walking again, he worked through eight months of rehabilitation and led the Nittany Lions on the field at home for the first game of the 2001 season.
"Taliaferro graduated from Penn State, earned a law degree from Rutgers in 2008 and started the Adam Taliaferro Foundation to help support others with spinal cord injuries."

UPDATE
While trying to find an update on Sherrif Dart, I came across some more information on the man. He's never been an officer of the law. He drives himself everywhere. He didn't plastered his name all over after being elected (like previous sherrifs). He is a lawyer, however. This works well for his stand on refusing to evict the innocent victims of foreclosure. While many people will do what is morally right, Dart has the education and background to LEGAL standing for his refusal to follow court ordered evictions.
From Geeklan.com, "Sheriff Dart has noted that Bank’s are not following the letter of the law and doing their due diligence (finding out who actually resides at a given residence). This is against the law and is putting Sheriff Dart and his Officers in an odd position.. one of potentially breaking the law themselves by serving these evictions."
He is still standing by his refusal to evict innocent persons. I'll post more updates as they come available.

Good on the Sherrif!
Cool story about Taliaferro, too.
I so appreciate stories like this!
So many gains being made in the field of spinal cord research. Taliaferro is a hero to many, many survivors of SCI.
Awesome to see a Sherrif like Dart out there!
