Headline cast negative lightMarch 22,2014Head smears city
with false image
Many Herald readers have long lamented the fact the there is all too often a clear disconnect between an articles chosen headline and the words included within the piece itself. This is a simple fact of journalism that most of us accept as a necessary evil intended to sell papers or hook the reader.
However the March 21 headline Middlebury College students to study citys trouble spots is misleading at best and outright fraudulent at worst.
The students from the Middlebury Environmental Studies Senior Seminar program chose to focus on Rutland due to our successful rebirth and the positive buzz our community is receiving throughout the state resulting from our transformation as a forward-thinking hot spot.
Whoever is responsible for choosing the headline did a true disservice to both the environmental studies program and the community at large. To qualify our Creative Economy initiative (downtown revitalization, Wonderfeet Museum, bike path, etc.), our vibrant local foods system, and our energy innovation vision as trouble spots is simply beyond the pale.
When meeting with the students, I told them that our greatest challenge in Rutland is often ourselves. We at times can be a self-loathing bunch who unwisely focus on the negative instead of celebrating all the great things about our wonderful community. Your headline proved my point.

It's never too late for ice cream is it? I've had this recipe on my mind for years but never had a plan for the must-have marshmallows called for in traditional rocky road ice cream. Who would have thought you could make marshmallows out of something other than sugar?! I've been on a marshmallow kick ever since I made my first batch of honey marshmallows, and I must say this twist on classic rocky road is better than the original (easier too). Have at it.
Salty Candied Almonds
1 cup soaked raw almonds
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/8 teaspoon Celtic Sea salt
In a small bowl, combine all ingredients to coat almonds. If you've already dehydrated the almonds rinse them in water so the sugar and salt will stick. Dehydrate for 12 hours at 105-120 degrees Fahrenheit.
Honey Marshmallows
1 cup honey
1 cup water
1/4 cup gelatin
1 teaspoon vanilla
coconut oil
Bring 1/2 cup of water and honey to a boil and remove from heat. In a food processor (or stand mixer, hand mixer, etc.) combine 1/2 cup water and gelatin. Slowly pour honey water into gelatin mixture while the food processor is running. Add vanilla and let run for 10-15 minutes. Pour marshmallow mix into a lightly coated (coconut oil) shallow dish. Refrigerate until firm (1-2 hours).
Chocolate Ice Cream
2 cups cream (or coconut milk fat)
1/2 cup cacao powder
1/3 cup raw honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Thoroughly blend all ingredients. I chose to pour the base into ice cube trays, freeze, and process later. However, there are many freezing and processing options you can find here.
After the chocolate ice cream is processed, chop almonds, cut small cubes of marshmallow, and fold together. Enjoy!

Corns and calluses are thick layers of skin. They are caused by repeated pressure or friction at the spot where the corn or callus develops.
Calluses and corns
Corns and calluses are caused by pressure or friction on skin. A corn is thickened skin on the top or side of a toe. Most of the time it is caused by bad fitting shoes. A callus is thickened skin on your hands or the soles of your feet.
The thickening of the skin is a protective reaction. For example, farmers and rowers get calluses on their hands that prevent blisters from forming. People with bunions often develop a callus over the bunion because it rubs against the shoe.
Corns and calluses are not serious problems.
Your health care provider will make the diagnosis after looking at your skin. In most cases, tests are not needed.
Preventing friction is often the only treatment needed.
To treat corns:
To treat calluses:
If an infection or ulcer occurs in an area of a callus or corn, the tissue may need to be removed by a health care provider. You may need to take antibiotics.
Corns and calluses are rarely serious. They should improve with proper treatment and not cause long-term problems.
Complications of corns and calluses are rare. People with diabetes are prone to ulcers and infections and should regularly examine their feet to identify any problems right away. Such foot injuries need medical attention.
Check your feet carefully if you have diabetes or numbness in the feet or toes.
Otherwise, the problem should resolve with changing to better-fitting shoes or wearing gloves.

Bills aim to help Colo. startups get out of the gate
- published_in
It's a question that gets a lot of attention from the team at CSU Ventures, a group that helps commercialize technologies developed by academics at Colorado State University. Finding funding for startups represents a "key bottleneck" faced by the organization, CSU Ventures Vice President Tim Reeser said.
Reeser argues that government should participate as much as any other group. After all, governments generate revenue from successful businesses and job-creation, not to mention the benefits of new technology.
"You look at the value of research and the impact on human life of a lot of things we're working on: whether it's in the life sciences space or energy space, it has a significant greater-good impact," he said.
Government help is especially important today as venture capital firms nationwide have halted investments or closed their doors, resulting in fewer dollars for technology startups in Colorado, Reeser said.
While software venture capital investments surged to a 10-year high recently, investments in life-sciences and clean-technology saw sharp decreases, according to a recent report from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
A proposed grant program that supports so-called technology transfer offices like CSU Ventures would help. Under a bill introduced by Rep. Dave Young, D-Greeley, these tech-transfer offices could receive as much as $750,000 in state funding apiece. The measure has passed the House Economic Development and Business Committee.
Another bill known as the Colorado Entrepreneur act would establish a venture capital advisory board to review obstacles facing the state and develop methods to increase access to capital. Sponsored by Sen. Rollie Heath, D-Boulder, the bill has passed the Senate Business, Labor and Technology Committee.
Colorado startups could use assistance from both bills.
Despite their success in the technology sector, Colorado startups particularly struggle for funding because the state lacks a strong history of venture capital financing, CSU Ventures Vice President Terry Opgenorth said. Most venture capital technology and life sciences funds reside on the East and West Coasts in cities where governments have backed startup funding efforts.
"Their perception, at least, has been that there's not as much deal flow in Colorado," said Opgenorth, referring to venture capitalists in the San Francisco Bay area and Boston. "We don't believe that's true. … There is enough for them to look at."
Responding to the lack of funding, the organization has considered seeking money from alumni and other donors in addition to maintaining the connections they have made with venture capital firms throughout the country.
Some people might worry that startups could leave Colorado after receiving state funding. But nearly 90 percent of the startups that CSU Ventures have assisted have remained within the state, Headley said.
That could change if companies cannot find Colorado financing. Venture capitalists that fund startups ultimately control their location, Reeser said.
"It's very common for them to wake up and say, 'We want them in our own backyard," he said.
CSU Ventures currently operates with $5 million in annual funding from the state Office of Economic Development and International Trade, much of it devoted to startup financing. Additional funding would be well spent, considering the group already leverages other organizations such as the technology incubator Rocky Mountain Innosphere, Colorado Cleantech Industry Association and Colorado BioScience Association to carry out its mission.
"We have a lot of people we engage with on sort of an as-needed basis to help us out," CSU Ventures President Todd Headley said.
That assistance should include a relatively small contribution from government, or us taxpayers. Successful startup firms certainly will repay us not only in tax revenue, but with technology that will improve our lives.

Exactly my thoughts!! Great thread
I'm not a Marbaury hater nor am I a die hard supporter, so my feelings are not inspired by anything other than wanting the best for my favorite team.With that in an egg shell.....why is our top priority to acquire a PG? What about Steph's game does not translate into the D'antoni system? Granted he is not the playmaker Nash is, but it is not at all unrealistic to think Steph can stil get 8 or 9 assist a game. He is a PG that likes to push the ball, and I thought that was the cornerstone of the Dantoni offense. Is Steph the best PG in the league, quite frankly, hell no! But he can still put up solid numbers. Really I think Steph could still easily average 16 and 8, now again he is not the best PG in the league, but name me another PG that the Knicks realistically have a shot at acquiring that is better, Kirk Hinrich is the only one that comes to mind, but 1. I don't think it is realistic to think we could get him, and 2. Steph playing at a high level is better than Hinrich. I know that he is in the final year of his deal so we have to consider his replacement, but say we trade Lee for Felton and Steph comes back like he for the final three months of the 06/07 season we would have a big problem. Look I have always been a fan of Nash even when he was still with The Mavs, but there is noone in the world that would have ever thought that he would be the PG he is today. The freedom of Dantoni's system really helped him evolve. Now Nash is very unselfish, and sorry to say Steph has not shown that, but I honestly believe that he'll do anything to see The Knicks win, and I also think that he wants to dead the notion of being a "coach killer" so he'll do what is asked of him.
My point (no pun intended) is that I don't see the major need. Now had we gotten the number 1 and we had a shot at Rose then that is no brainer, but I didnt understand why we were thinking of trying to convert players like Mayo,Bayless and Westbrook into PGs over a ready made NBA PG? It just seemed a little too desperate a move considering we do have a quality PG. Maybe there is some bad blood between Steph and Dantoni from Pheonix, because it doesn't make sense that he wouldn't atleast give him one season to try to run this team.
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
Couldn't have said it any better my self. Good post.
I just saw Mike Dantoni's interview about the pick, it's nice to see that he thinks Wilson Chandler "has a bright future". I really thought last nights pick spelled the end for him. Also it looks like were going to have a stacked Summer League Team, Mike said Nate will be there for sure, you know Wilson and Dino will be there, maybe we go undefeated again!
But back to the PG talk, I can see us going for a player like Carlos Arryo as a back up PG, that makes sense.But lets give Steph a chance. It is obvious from Donnie Walsh's interview on MSG that we are not done making moves, so we'll see.
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
I heard Steph was gonna be on the Summer League team also, Or was it practice with them?? Either way he's gonna be there.
Not a bad Idea for Steph to get up with them. I don't know how many players are allowed on the team, but if he wanted to run in a couple of games to get a feel for the system then I'd say go for it! Here is the schedule http://www.nba.com/media/summerleagu...Flyer_NewW.pdf

-Jeff Van Gundy
good post man
-Marbury/Chandler/Gallinari Supporter...
^^^ since last year, and still with it!
[1.10.09] Get Sergio Rodriguez at 2010!
Marbury will flourish under D'Antoni because D'Antoni knows how to use his player's strengths Isiah and Brown didn't do this for Marbury, hench Marbury's decrease in production.
Marbury will be back though, GetReal will be crying for doubting him.
I do belive marbury will have a productive season. pringles will let him play to his strenghts. My only doubt is who will be playing next to him? Crawford is ok but his shooting needs to improve. Id like to see Q at SG. He had his best season under Mike and he knows the system. Chandler at the 3 and danilo at 4. Both got range and can hit shots.
as for the summer league i would like Steph to play. he needs o become the leader of this team agian and needs to know the system inside out.
Will we ever win a championship again? Id like to think so!
I agree.
Marbury's game was stifled by isiah and LB. The only real time he ever played his game was under Lenny and we made the playoffs...the next season H20 got hurt, JC got turf toe and there went our season and Isiah canned Lenny after that.
D'Antoni's system uses 2 of Marbury's greatest strengths - the ability to perfectly execute a pick n roll; and spreading the floor with shooters so that steph can easily drive to the basket and/or suck the defense in and dish to the open man on the perimeter.
Where there is hope, there can be faith
Where there is faith, miracles can occur
Yeah, the return to the pick-n-roll after about a year and a half of never using it, will help Marburys' game emmensely. Gallinari should be the perfect fit with Stephon in the pick-n-roll, and along with Q, if Q can get in shape, Steph will have options he can trust to pass off to as he drives to the hole.
If we perfect the pick and roll, our offense should be fine. Its not like we don't have guys who can't create their own shots; but I'm glad Mike here because the Isiah days of isolation basketball is gone.
We're going to see a lot of ball movement and Gallinari was an obvious pick because having a point forward is HUGE, a big man who can pass opens everything up for your team.
I can't wait till the summer league.
I hate to throw salt on the borderline queer Marbury love but under D'Antoni's system this wont be Marbury's team... It will be Crawfords'. (Some one queue the dramatic chipmunk music.)
Crawford is the best or second best scorer on the team and can run the floor, probably better than Marbury.
Marbury is a career 20 ppg scorer, Crawford barely touches 15.
Marbury shoots a higher FG%.
Giiven the freedom, Marbury gets buckets. Give Crawford freedom, he's either on or really off.
Marbury is also the best passer and PG on this team, and right now the best player despite his downfall season.
Crawford will hit the bench, Richardson will start because of his experience under D'Antoni.
Walsh is going to trade Crawford before Marbury goes also.

Thank you, Sgt. Jason A. McLeod.
We never met. And I am pretty sure that we never crossed paths, even though McHenry County is a relatively tightknit place where everyone seems to know everyone or knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows everyone.
The face in your photo looks familiar, though. We might have bumped into each other at the Culver's once, but I can't say that for sure. You look like a good kid – someone who came from a good family and had good friends.
At a time when talk is cheap and there is no shortage of chatter, you did more than talk. You put your country ahead of everything else and served the nation with honor. After graduating from Crystal Lake Central, you enlisted in the Army. You served in Iraq. And then you went to Afghanistan.
It's not right that you died there from mortar fire Nov. 23. At the very least, it's not fair. You should have lived a full life with your wife, Aimee, and your daughter, Jocelyn, surrounded by friends and family right here. People should start living when they are 22.
Those who serve know what could come their way. That's why soldiers are heroes. They run toward danger when most others run away from it. They exemplify true bravery.
Our country has been at war for nearly nine years. Some question that fight. Only a fool would question those in the fight, though.
Thank you, Sgt. Jason A. McLeod.
Thank you for serving our country.
Thank you for doing your part to fight for freedom.
Thank you. We are forever in your debt.

The right to speak: We have this thing in America called the Constitution. Lots of articles. Some amendments, too.
It's basically a list of rules. And we need rules, because after we broke away from England – as Bill and Ted so aptly articulated while in the throes of their excellent adventure – if we didn't get some cool rules ourselves pronto, we'd be bogus.
Now as you wade through the Constitution, it's important to start at the beginning and read all the way through to the end. It's not exactly John Grisham, but it's a compelling read. If you do finish the document, you'll have to keep in mind that it's not a buffet menu. And those who interpret it on an a la carte basis typically get indigestion. And deserve it.
That said, what happened last week with Northern Illinois University Professor Marc Falkoff's scheduled speech at McHenry County College should give us all a wicked case of agita.
Let me make one thing perfectly clear: I couldn't care less whether Guantanamo Bay detainees were carving poems into Styrofoam cups at Club Fed. I wouldn't read those poems in a car, or on a star, over here or over by dere. I wouldn't read them anywhere.
But if you want to read that book, go ahead and, by all means, read it. That, my friend, is your constitutional right.
And if you want to hear Falkoff talk about his book, "Poems from Guantanamo: Where is the world to save us from torture?", or chat about his experience defending enemy combatants in Gitmo, have at it. It's his right to talk about it. It's your right to go and to listen, to stay home and play checkers, or to show up on public property and appropriately protest those who want to talk about Gitmo or to protest those who want to listen to it.
It is not your right to call Falkoff and threaten him and his family if he shows up to talk. It also is not your right to call the college and threaten it for having the audacity to bring a speaker into the auditorium. And it is not your right to squelch free speech.
I don't know that I would have traded a night in front of the TV watching "The Office" and "30 Rock" to listen to Falkoff. Check that: I know I wouldn't have.
But that doesn't mean that he should be prevented from coming to McHenry County and telling his story, or for people who might be interested in the law, Gitmo or poetry to show up and listen.
Falkoff has said that he would reschedule the event and perhaps might actually come to MCC. Regardless, he appears today on our Opinion page and writes about what he would have talked about had his right to free speech not been stymied.
• • •
Worth a read: It's easy to worry about the state of the world when looking at it through the short lens of your own experience. Still worried about the nation, our economy and everything else that cable TV needs you to fear to cling to its ratings?
Well, when you are finished reading Falkoff's guest column, make sure you check out 96-year-old reader Helen Polich's Letter to the Editor on our Opinion page.
She's seen a few things in her time. Let her set you straight, calm your fears and, in short, make you feel like living well past 96.

Everything announced here is aimed at casuals. Less lockouts means less time necessary raiding. Same gear from 10m raids with less people means less time raiding and less time getting a group together. Smaller raid instances means less time raiding. It all screams casual.Originally Posted by Vengeblade
And you honestly believe that they're going to tune 10man up? Really? They're gonna tune 10man up slightly and bring 25man down to match. How else will they make things "equal in difficulty" if not by eliminating everthing that makes having 25 players a complication? That's like half the difficulty of 25man raids, gone.
And yes God damn it, its for the ePeen. Heroic raiding is a huge pain in the ass. I wouldn't do it without some kind of positive reinforcement and my positive reinforcement is exclusivity, as it's been since Vanilla.

Lucy in the sky (with diamonds!)
Struggling with the elusive (where are the mothers of invention when you need them?), I set my dilemma aside and made my way to Narrowsburg to drool over gemstones (hmm—"Baubles Bangles and Beads?") at the grand opening of Boregaard Jeweler (www.boregaard.com) located at 101 Main Street ("Down by the Delaware?" No—far too cutesy.) Although his doors opened during the summer, designer Pedro Boregaard told me that he was encouraged to throw the official champagne launch by friends and fellow business owners whose "encouragement has been invaluable."
As classier folks mingled and admired, I gasped and gawked, stunned by the gorgeous one-of-a-kind pieces that forced me to consider dubbing this issue's musings "Diamonds Are a Guy's Best Friend." Admittedly, I am a fan of all things that sparkle, but the creativity and artistry that goes into Boregaard's jewelry is (IMHO) amazing. "I love the Upper Delaware valley," Boregaard said, "and have been here full-time for more than seven years already. It's very important to me to be a part of this wonderful community, so I'm having a little party as a way of expressing my gratitude for the unwavering support." A generous portion of sales from November 5 through 26 will benefit the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance.
No stranger to Narrowsburg, Boregaard has been involved with the area on a part-time basis for almost 30 years while running a highly successful showroom in New York City. "I love this region," he told me, "and it's very important to be involved on a local level, which is one of the reasons that I've opened a business here. Every single piece in the store was made in New York State, unlike some other well known lines, many of which are designed and created in other countries."
Platinum and gold called out, gleaming in the showcase, but it's the diamonds (I don't mean rhinestones) that truly shine for me. "Perfect for the proverbial commitment ceremony" sprang to my (still single) mind, as I perused, admired and dreamed about what Santa might have in store for me this year, Jewish boy or not. In light of the economy and tough times, the mere fact that Boregaard has opened his dream factory now is an inspiration. A part of me still believes what my mother always said: that I'm a "diamond in the rough," so for the moment I'll continue to drool and fantasize, rather than accept the fact that in reality... I must be trippin'.

A glimpse of government ran healthcare, obamacare, has presented itself just a few days ago.
Government dictates to states how to fund healthcare or takes funding away shutting down clinics, access to doctors and medicine.
Texas states the funding will be replaced but how many businesses will do the same. Not many in truth and actuality. Business operates on the principal of profit. Profit being guzzled by healthcare and government socialist programs dictating unrealistic demands will close many businesses.
Who would work for miniscule profit to support obamacare, the answer is all around and that answer is close the doors. No jobs, no heath care and giant government debt. That's obamacare. Just a glimpse of coming socialist obamaism.
Change, well here it is thanks to the illegal alien American hating lying racist muslim in the white house.
Oh, oh maybe his uncle in the U.S. Army or his aunt, the illegal alien living in upscale comfort completely paid for by tax payers will save the day.
A federal court in Texas ruled to stop a new law on Monday that excluded Planned Parenthood from the Texas Women's Health Program, which serves about 130,000 low-income women in the state. U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel ruled that the law was unconstitutional because it bars eight Planned Parenthood clinics that don't provide abortions from participating in the program based on their affiliation with legally and financially separate entities that offer abortions.
Yeakel also cited the fact that the Department of Health and Human Services cut off all Medicaid funding for family planning to Texas because of the new law, which could jeopardize the entire program.
"The court is particularly influenced by the potential for immediate loss of access to necessary medical services by several thousand Texas women," Yeakel wrote in his ruling. "The record before the court at this juncture reflects uncertainty as to the continued viability of the Texas Women's Health Program."
After HHS cut off Texas' Medicaid money, Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) promised to make up for the $30 million funding gap and pay for the Women's Health Program with the state's own money. But conservative Texas officials have suggested that they would rather end the entire program than allow Planned Parenthood to participate in it.

Maui County police say a 49-year-old woman was struck by a truck in Kihei Monday afternoon and died from her injuries.
The woman was identified as Lynnette Marie Korinko.
It happened at around 4 p.m. on Piilani Highway near Waipuilani Road.
Police say Korinko was walking on the Wailea side of Waipuilani Road toward Piilani Highway. Once she reached the highway, she paused for Wailea bound traffic to clear.
Korinko walked across the two Wailea bound lanes and stopped on the double solid yellow lines. After waiting for traffic to go by, she began crossing the two Maalaea bound lanes. Police say once she reached the outside lane, the truck hit her.
This intersection does not have a crosswalk. This intersection also does not allow vehicles coming from Waipulani Road to turn left onto Piilani Highway, according to police.
The driver and passenger in the truck were not injured.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
This is Maui County's second traffic fatality of the year compared to three at this time last year.

Each of these exclusive prints features a close-up photograph of one of the fanciful animals aboard Noah's Ark at the Skirball, along with the designer's preliminary concept drawing of that animal. These glimpses at the making of these one-of-a-kind figures and puppets fascinate children and adults alike. Made from repurposed and recycled materials, each animal is a creative inspiration!
The animals in Noah's Ark at the Skirball were created by Alan Maskin, principal of architectural firm Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen of Seattle, working closely with Brooklyn-based artist Christopher Green and custom fabrication house Lexington.
This collection of prints was displayed as part of the exhibition All Aboard! Arks and Animals at the Skirball, on view at the Skirball in September 2008.
This exclusive print features a close-up photograph of Mueller's Gibbon, one of the fanciful animals aboard Noah's Ark at the Skirball, along with the designer's preliminary concept drawing of that animal. Mueller's Gibbon made from recycled materials: toy Volkswagen cars, metal, and spoons.

Craftsman Style Furniture
Our customers' favorite Vermont made Craftsman Style Furniture is the Cherry Moon Collection. It's contemporary Asian design has a light but grounded appearance. Reverse-tapered legs, posts and an intricate cove under the tops round out the design to give any room a comforting and natural feeling. Rich black walnut, half-moon drawer pulls complete the design of these natural cherry, maple, and walnut hardwood pieces.
Mission Style Furniture
Traditionally mission style furniture is characterized by rectilinear design, simple, straight construction, heavy proportion and exposed joinery. It's typically made with oak wood and given a medium or dark stain. Drawer pulls are often simple round brass rings or rectangular back plates of solid brass with canted corners and an oval bail handle. But today's Vermont made mission style furniture incorporates modern contemporary design features and is often crafted of cherry, walnut and maple wood. You can customize it online to get whichever traditional and contemporary features you like.
Shaker Style Furniture
Vermont craftspeople have mastered the art of simple elegance in their many variations of American Shaker style furniture, ranging from a strict interpretation of the original Shaker pieces to creative versions with modern functionalities, curves and hardware. Simple aesthetics and sturdy design remain at the heart of today's Vermont Shaker style furniture.
Natural Cherry Wood Furniture
Natural Cherry Wood is a favorite among our customers as it develops a lustrous, rich reddish brown patina over the years. Premium quality real cherry wood furniture is hard to find and often imitated (poorly) so don't be fooled by the imports sporting cherry trade names. Vermont is well established as the "go to" place to purchase real natural cherry wood furniture.
Black Walnut Furniture
American Black Walnut Wood is the only really dark North American wood. Like cherry it's a prized, premium hardwood that carries a commensurate price tag. Vermont woodworkers are specialists in black walnut furniture, handcrafting it from top quality solid walnut wood.
This blog is written by your friends at Vermont Woods Studios. Check out our Vermont made furniture and home decor online and visit our showroom and art gallery at Stonehurst, the newly restored 1800s farmhouse nestled in the foothills of the Green Mountains.

TBR --what a bad deal?
This deal made Danica look bad and now the joke is --she still may have to qualify for Darlington--yeh--like thats going to happen? Maybe though there wont be more then 43 entrys if it comes down to that--we can only hope? Hopefully the contract is such that if they cant keep the car in points the deal is OFF as it should never have been made in the first place.
I never thought it would be that hard for a veteran driver, even like Reutiman, to keep it in the points as how hard is it to make top 35 or even top 30 in these races, as almost a dozen or so never finish anyway? Either the car is crap or the driver is, course crashing and blowing engines doesnt help--nice one SHR> Course this doesnt help TBR either as they wanted some good exposure with this deal--Oh well, still some races left before Darlington and they can always go back to S&P.

Welcome to Pittsburgh International Airport (IATA: PIT, ICAO: KPIT)
Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) is a world-class facility that accommodates more than eight million travelers in nearly 148,000 aircraft operations per year. With about 155 non-stop flights per day to 37 destinations, Pittsburgh International Airport is served by 12 commercial air carriers. Pittsburgh International Airport also provides nonstop service to Paris on Delta Air Lines with connections to 100 cities in Europe and beyond on Air France. PIT has been frequently recognized for its quality in meeting traveler's needs. The OAG Worldwide, market research leader JD Power and Associates and Conde Nast Traveler's Magazine all have named PIT among the top airports in recent customer satisfaction surveys. Pittsburgh International Airport is operated and managed by the Allegheny County Airport Authority. Opened October 1, 1992, Pittsburgh International's Midfield Terminal brought a new vision to the region for domestic and international air travel. Designed to be the nation's best gateway to international commerce, PIT is within a 90-minute flight of 70 percent of North America's population. Capacity is one of PIT's most valuable assets. The Terminal is a series of three buildings linked by a variety of people moving transportation means. With the airplanes at one end and the parking lot at the other, travelers need only take a few steps to cross more than half a mile from the landside to airside terminal. A model to other airports around the world, the design of the terminal was planned to simplify aircraft movement on the airfield and ease pedestrian traffic to the gates. Since opening, PIT's Midfield Terminal has been recognized on numerous occasions for its efficient and creative ways to assist travelers. PIT has become a major economic generator for southwestern Pennsylvania. And it continues to grow. In the last year, airlines have launched new service from PIT, new routes have been added, and development surrounding the airfield is growing.

Lars von Trier's new film Nymphomaniac follows the life on a sex-crazed man throughout his life. It's beautiful, emotional, and well, arousing. Unfortunately, because of laws that limit the way alcohol brands, like Absolut, can present sex, we're just going to talk about the after-party.
With a tendency to create films about difficult topics that allow actors to dig deep into the characters, auteurs like von Trier are able to attract the highest quality talent to star in their films. It also allows him to ask the incredible talents of Charlotte Gainsbourg, Shia LaBoeuf, Stacy Martin, Stellan Skarsgård, Christian Slater, Willem Dafoe, and Uma Thurman to give their best 'O-Face' to be used as the film's movie poster.
When the stars turned out for the premiere, everyone kept their clothes on and had a laugh about it while drinking perfectly made Absolut Elyx cocktails. For those who can't get enough of the cast, part two will be released next month, but in the meantime, you can check out a more mellow side of Gainsbourg in the newest Elyx campaign.

text: I keep hearing from other nursing moms how their breastmilk is like a miracle prevention/cure for colds. My daughter (17 months old) seems to get sick whenever we leave the house. For example, she caught 3 colds in the last 2 months that lasted a week each and she's not even in day care! Ironically, since she became mobile at 7 months, she has gotten sick at my LLL meetings more than anywhere else! She nurses 3-5 times a day and gets colds twice as frequently as her cousin who has never had a drop of breast milk. We are even getting comments from people that they would have thought my milk should have kept her from getting sick so much. Well, THAT certainly makes me feel inadequate! What am I doing wrong or differently than these super healthy tots?

With the passing of Hawaii's longest serving U.S. Senator, local and national politicians faced the task of filling the massive void left by one of the longest serving Senators in U.S. history.
According to officials from Sen. Inouye's office, the late Senator expressed his wishes in a letter to Governor Neil Abercrombie to have his position as U.S. Senator filled by Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa for the duration of his term.
Hanabusa recently won re-election as a House Representative for Hawaii.
According to state bylaws concerning midterm vacancies:
HRS§17-1 United States senator. When a vacancy occurs in the office of United States senator, the vacancy shall be filled…Pending the election, the governor shall make a temporary appointment to fill the vacancy by selecting a person from a list of three prospective appointees submitted by the same political party as the prior incumbent.
As one of the senior-most U.S. Senators, Inouye held influential clout as head of several committees, including the Appropriations Committee. Furthermore, he was third in succession to replace the president.
Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont is now third in the line of presidential succession.
The Senate late Monday passed a resolution approving Leahy as president pro tempore. He would replace Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye, who died Monday.
The seven-term Leahy would be third in line to the presidency, behind the vice president and the speaker of the House.
Leahy also is in line to replace Inouye as chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. The 72-year-old Leahy currently is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

We had the Nuk Orthodontic and gumdrop type one from the hospital. She couldn't keep the gumdrop in her mouth and I didn't want the shape of the ortho one to be confusing but we had to use it in the hospital for 24 hours while she was in the Easy Bake Oven (the bili-lights) because she would throw her legs around, roll her head and disrupt her eye protection.
Once home we tried the Playtex Binky Most Like Mother - but she would spit it out the second the latex touched her tongue.
Now we have Avent Contemporary Freeflow pacifiers. The only I don't like is the handle thing one them is big - so big that Ruby winds her little fingers in it and rips out the passy, then cries until it's returned.
I like the look of the MAM ones though, might have to hit the store on the way home

SUV goes through ice near Hatley
No one was hurt
Two people were able to escape unhurt when their sport utility vehicle went through the ice on Pike Lake in Hatley.
Crews were sent to the Pike Lake Resort about 1:30 p.m. Thursday after someone saw the Chevrolet Suburban break through the ice and was unsure if anyone was inside.
Investigators discovered the two people inside the SUV were able to escape the sinking vehicle and make it back to shore.
A Department of Natural Resources warden told WSAW-TV the ice was only about 6 inches thick where the vehicle went through. The lake is estimated to be 30 feet deep at that spot.
The SUV is now at the bottom of the lake and the owners will have 30 days to have it removed.

Lewis murder hearings postponed until November
The preliminary hearings for three men accused in the 1999 disappearance and deaths of two Lewis County women were postponed until Nov. 1 to allow for a circuit judge to consider a defense attorney's request.
The hearing for Joseph Metz, 39, of Horner, will be held at 8:30 a.m. that day, followed by a hearing for Charles Steven Freeman, 51, of Archbold, Ohio, at 10:15 a.m., and a hearing for David Martin Hughes, 58, of Archbold, Ohio, at 11:45 a.m.
All three are facing two counts each of murder, robbery and kidnapping in the case involving 69-year-old Maxine Stalnaker and her 45-year-old daughter Mary Geneva Friend. Metz is the son of Friend and the grandson of Stalnaker.
All three men are being held without bond. Metz is being held in the North Central Regional Jail in Doddridge County, while Hughes is being held in the Central Regional Jail in Braxton County. Freeman is being held in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail in Randolph County.
Metz' defense attorneys, Dennis Willett and Steve Nanners, asked at a preliminary hearing in September for all documentation, recordings and other information be brought to court by the witnesses they had subpoenaed, which included Lewis County Prosecuting Attorney Michael Smith. A specially appointed magistrate, Tammy Marple of Harrison County, ruled that the witnesses could testify, but the turning over of documentation should be handled further into the legal proceedings.
Lewis County Circuit Court Judge Kurt Hall delayed Metz' hearing until he could rule on the request.
On Friday, Freeman's attorneys, Jim Hawkins and Tom Dyer, asked that Freeman's preliminary hearing be continued "because their client has an interest to see the outcome of a motion from the other defendant."
Smith asked that a date not be set until after Hall rules on Nanners' and Willett's request, but Marple said she would be setting Nov. 1 as the new date for the preliminary hearings.
"If we have a date," she said, "the circuit judge may look at it a little quicker."
Russell Stobbs, who is serving as Hughes' defense attorney, also requested a delay in his client's preliminary hearing.
Friend and Stalnaker were reported missing in December 1999, and their car was found a short time later in Harrison County.
According to Lewis County Magistrate Court records, Hughes, while the owner of the Wilderness Plantation, allegedly conspired with Metz and Freeman to have the two women kidnapped, robbed and killed because Hughes believed Friend possessed a writing tablet containing information regarding alleged illegal and criminal activities regarding Hughes' business affairs. Hughes was allegedly concerned that the information could be turned over to law enforcement officers, the court records indicated.
Metz and Freeman allegedly removed the two women from their residence on Fox Run Road and took them to a location along Jesse Run Road, where they allegedly took a purse and allegedly killed the two women, according to court records.
The purse was recovered by a fisherman in Lewis County in 2002.
Court records also state that Metz and Freeman called Hughes after allegedly killing the two women and disposing of their bodies.
They then allegedly turned the writing tablet over to Hughes, according to court records.


text: I just went to my sons 2 month checkup on Friday he weighed 10.8 and has always had a lot of gas the doc suggested I try giving lactose free formula for 2 weeks to see if my son would put on weight and have less gas. He thinks he is lactose intolerant which I thought was weird b/c neither me or my husband are? I want to continue breastfeeding and fear if I stop for 2 weeks it will be hard to get my milk supply back. I didn't think 10.8 was under weight? My son also had green poop today and it is usually yellow so what does that mean??? Also my son seems to nurse every night from about 7-11 he latches on and then pulls of and grunts a lot but wants to continue to nurse I try burping him and sometimes he does but he continues to want to nurse. Do you think he is not getting enough milk or is this normal?

Investigators are looking for a pair of criminals who they say exploded acid bombs on a woman's front door.
Police said the incident, which was all caught on home surveillance video, happened at a home in Cypress, Texas.
In the video, a young man is seen running up to the home. He started shaking what Harris County Fire Marshals said is an acid bomb.
"I was sound asleep and heard what sounded like a gunshot," said Becky Bentley, who's home was attacked.
As the culprit runs out of the picture, another person is seen in the video shaking up a second acid bomb before tossing it at the front door.

The New Haven Register reported that Frances Chan, 20, says she visited Yale's health center in Sept. to have a breast lump examined. The lump was benign, but doctors told Chan during the visit that her weight was too low. At 5'2" and 92 lbs., Chan claimed that she is genetically, naturally thin. Health professionals did not believe her and told her to gain weight or leave the school. They implemented a weight-gain plan for Chan, which included mandatory, weekly weigh-ins with health professionals.
Despite eating junk food and not exercising, Chan wasn't able to gain weight. Yale told her that her two-pound weight gain over the course of several months would not be enough to keep her in school.
Out of frustration, she wrote an essay about her situation, which was published in the Huffington Post.
Now it seems Yale is backing off on their original stance. Recently, Chan posted on her Facebook page that her new physician acknowledged that BMI was not the only significant measure of proper health. Chan agreed to continue going to the check-ups, but only once a semester.

- From wide-field imager to VLT survey telescope
- Author(s)
- Schmidtobreick, L.; Germany, L.; Mendez, R.; Rassia, E.; Selman, F.
- Abstract
- The Wide-Field Imager (WFI) is the outcome of a joint project between the European Southern Observatory (ESO), the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie in Heidelberg (Germany) and the Osservatorio Astronomico di Capodimonte near Naples (Italy). It was installed at the 2.2 m MPG/ESO telescope in 1998 December. A mosaic of eight CCDs provides a large field of 34×33 arcmin which allows us to obtain detailed views of extended celestial objects down to very faint magnitudes. WFI is the first of a new generation of survey facilities at ESO and will be replaced by OmegaCAM on the 2.6 m VLT Survey Telescope (VST) at Paranal in the near future.

Some Iowa veterans who want to showcase their military service on their driver's licenses are disappointed they have to wait until their current license expires.
KWWL reports a new law took effect last week allowing Iowans to have a veteran designation on their licenses to help them get discounts.
Rex Eyestone of Waterloo says he wanted to get a new license immediately because he's proud of his service in Vietnam.
But state officials say Eyestone and others will have to wait until their license is due for renewal.
Mark Lowe, director of the Motor Vehicle Division, says the problem is that the state loses almost $8 every time it issues a duplicate license.
Lowe says officials are looking at whether the fees can be changed to allow more duplicates.

Hate Mail — my official response
Normally, I try to keep this blog positive, but because of something rather disturbing that's been taking place, I'm taking a break from my normal routine to address it publicly. More specifically, I've received a series of threatening letters dating back to July 11, 2009. The letters started being sent (to my family's book store) because I had a VERY ugly altercation with several Yankee fans at a game on May 21, 2009. Although I haven't been asked to do so, I've removed the photographs of these people that I originally posted on my blog. I just felt it was the right thing to do, and that it would help everyone involved move on.

Wow. Reading these reminds me of how ignorant some people are. They really don't have much factual evidence other than "get a life" and "your gay". They're the ones who need to get a life. They're the ones wasting their "beer drinking" and "getting laid" time by writing you these whacked out messages. This has completely crossed the line. Especially after the last item you received from them.
thats a shame that people have to be like that they just dont understand what its like to love something real but check out my blog at http://everythingbaseball.mlblogs.com
i told heath bell about these guys not too long after it happened…he wanted to know more about it and seemed overall genuinely concerned…
You are friends with Yankees fans, Mets fans, and even a Red Sox fan! (Who lives in New York, no less!)
But anyway — it saddens me when people cannot enjoy the game for the game it is, and more than that, when they cannot allow others to enjoy the game in the way they chose fit. I know your way of enjoying baseball has added many positives to people around you — be it your Watch with Zack clients, or people who have read your book(s) and decided to add a level of interaction between them and the game after seeing how you do it.
After all, as an integral part of American Culture, baseball should be embraced and interacted with in every possible way, and more than that, it should be just that — interacted with, rather than just passively watched. I'd like to think that you embody and embrace the spirit of American Culture and baseball continuing to evolve.
It's a shame that this has taken time away from writing your next book; I know how much time and energy this must have taken, especially once the police get involved.
It is sad that people like this are out there, and go so far out of their way (and so far into the off-season) to express hatred of anything — personal, religious, cultural.
Even those baseball fans who hate you, I'd like to hope cannot condone actions like this. I hope the words end with words and do not lead to anyone eating any part of anyone else's anatomy.
It looks like these were all sent to you by the same (most likely unhinged) person, desperately craving your attention on this blog. I mean, I don't know how many people would ever ask if you've been "laided"…or use the same NY Islanders memo paper. I don't know if you can ever rationalize with people like this with well thought-out responses. It's just sickening to see what goes on in people's minds.
Don't let it get you down, Zach. You know you have tons of fans. I don't go to many Yankee Games, but I got your back at Citizen's Bank.
Zack, for a bright guy from the streets of New York, you're not showing a lot of savvy. While I'm an advocate of killing 'em with kindness, I'm also not a proponent of leading with my chin.
The biggest problem here is that you wrote more than one response. Once you got the second nasty letter back, that should have been the end of it. Why give someone with that much hatred the chance to show it off. It's like Obama with the terrorists; he wants to talk, and they want to kill us. Or let me use another analogy tat may hit closer to home, Neville Chamberlain wanted to talk with Hitler–if we could only be reasonable.
The next biggest problem with writing more than once is that the subsequent notes were written on an Islanders calendar. I'm aghast! That behavior is much more akin to that of a Ranger fan. Have Milbury, Snow, Wang, and DP made Islander Country that ornery????
Here's the bottom line. First, I would advise removing this blog entry immediately. You've given these folks more attention than they deserve. Second, your parents did the right thing; let the police handle this. In fact, if I were to send any last letter to these folks it would be that any more contact from that will cause you to file formal charges. End of story.
Great response, Zack. I just hope this ends the craziness…
I have to agree with fatherpuck…I know your intentions were to squash this with a response on the website, but in doing so you are just giving them the attention that they are craving from you and are likely fueling the fire…I'm sure you'll get more notes after they see that you've responded. I also think that you should let the police handle this…making terroristic threats via the mail is a huge federal crime.
I applaud you for taking the high road and trying to handle it your way, but I think that this is an instance where you not responding and letting the authorities handle it would be best for you.
pretty ******* scary. I took the time to read all of your answers. very well done- calm, reasonable but i'm not quite sure why you would put yourself out for this obviously sick and possibly dangerous person. i'm VERY glad your parents contacted the cops because if they hadn't i would personally beg you to do so.
Years ago before playing a Black Party i got a couple of anonymous letters threatening me with death if i didn't play well…or up to their standards…some BS like that. it was rather disturbing i can tell you. I must have played OK since i'm still alive to tell the tale. Back then I should have gone to the police. I didn't since the letters were postmarked from jersey and i just didn't want to get involved. But zack-this person could actually try to harm you …so take whatever measures the police suggest.
keep well, Michael Fierman
and yeah-listen to fatherpuck. i second what he's suggesting
long time reader 1st time commenting. i really admire what you do and i got your back. me and my friend own a boxing school we are professionally trained fighters and we know lots of guys who come work out with us. this is total b.s. what is going on here with these people sending the letters. you said you have photos of them? i go to the stadium all the time…..born and raised in the bronx baby!!! if you email these peoples photos to me i will send them to all my friends and we will make sure that these losers never go near you. you just let me know when you will be at the stadium (i'm usually in the LF bleachers) and i will look out for you. if these guys even talk to you i will personally see to it that they will never be able to pick up another pen or lick another envelope. you are the man. you dont deserve this. i have seen how you help kids and what you do for the game.
your friend,
p.s. hope to finally meet you in person this year!!
Hey Zack, I just want to say a couple of things. First of all, thank you so much for the donation to E's fundraiser, she was very excited to see you donated so much to it. Secondly, these letters are all coming from the same moron. I'm not sure I would take anyone seriously that says "laided" lol. Really, what kind of idiot says that? Also, he has the spelling of an 8 year-old kid, so it's funny to hear him say he has a girlfriend. You can tell by this guy's writing that he has the mental capacity of a child, so don't worry about it, and get back to your book. :) Talk to you soon.
That "laided" thing is pretty darn funny. I've never been called a Baptist ******* before, but if I was I don't think it would hurt so much because I know my parents were married when I was concieved as were yours. Sticks and stones. Those guys are idiots. Don't sweat it.
I got no clue how you managed to keep your cool through all this. Hat tip to you.
Just my two cents, but I wouldn't have even responded to this. Idiots like these guys (guy?) are just looking for a reaction. If the moron doesn't have the guts/brains to sign the letters, I wouldn't acknowledge them at all — except maybe using them to line the bottom of your bird cage, if you have one.
Hang in there, buddy.
sorry to hear about all of this zack, another reason to hate the yankees, their fans, yankee stadium, and the islanders as well. But really you can't afford paper to write the mail on you gotta use a islanders daily calender? Im a huge Ranger fan and i have had many run ins with isles fans but its never gotten this bad, i hope everything works out for you
Zack –
First, I think either I'm misunderstanding or other readers are: This blog is your very first response to all these letters, correct? If so, it's pretty disturbing to see the progression of hatred and threats from this person. I agree with Mr. puck, I'd consider deleting this post, or at least scale it back quite a bit.
The lack of response for months clearly enraged the perpetrator, which is the way this person should be referred to by the way. They've committed a crime as far as I'm concerned.
So at first I thought, oh you have yourself a little stalker, how cute. But as these love letters evolve it becomes obvious you have yourself a truly obsessed stalker/enemy… Although I actually wondered, and still do, if they were just using the awful grammar, spelling, handwriting style and repetition of comments (play softball, drink beer, get yourself laided) as a cover in order to protect themselves and their identity – because maybe they're just trying to mess with you. It's possible, but I doubt it.
All the letters are too similar. And why send a frickin puck?! Anyway, it's all disturbing. The anti-Semitic comments, the threats, and the progression of hate. I would not recommend seeking them out at a game, and it bothers me they know about your parents book store. Just one reason I never use my real name and location on the web, but I realize that's not possible in your field of work. Anyway, I'd leave this to the authorities, it's too late to offer a hand shake and an apology, which I thought they never deserved in the first place.
You should of told those scumbags to shut the hell up. They kept saying the same thing in every letter. I guess their inept minds couldn't think of anything else. You stay proud and keep getting balls lol. Forget those losers. Your responses were to sincere and nice. Tell them to back off and find a hobby.
Wow, Zack. Welcome to my world. I get hate mail, hate calls, hate email, hate hate hate. It comes with the territory. Not only am I a lawyer, but I'm a divorce lawyer, so I'm constantly making at least one person very angry with me. No problems though, because I've learned how to handle it over the years. First and foremost, I've taken over 25 years worth of martial arts in many different disciplines. Most recently, my Gentile self has been taking classes in the "Jew *******" art of Krav Maga and it's quite effective. You should look into it. No fancy patterns or forms, just plain old street fighting with a hint of dirty tactics. It's awesome. It also helps to have a concealed handgun license, but I don't think that's an option for you in New York.
I have to agree with fatherpuck though. Don't lead with your chin. You've gone way beyond trying to make up with these morons and it's to the point that you need to just say to hell with it. I noticed it says at the bottom of the last two letters it says "OME GLE". This is probably the initials of two brothers, OME and GLE. Hope the cops caught on to that too. In other news, these dummies spent over $6 to send something first class that could have easily been sent parcel post for much less.
Donny in Houston
The sad part is that this guy probably has kids and is teaching them to think something like this is right.
Not only should you have pressed charges, but you should've also called these guys out on having no life themselves for holding such a consistant anger in a grudge dating back more than half a year ago. I agree, it WAS very mature and "p.c" the way you handled it, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. At this point, I'd say keep going with the peaceful approach, but if they don't accept, press charges. This guy clearly isn't right in the head. People like that don't deserve to get off easy. Thats why places like jail or the option to press charges are open to you.
And if worse comes to worse and you need to fight, call me. I'll come around and knock a few out myself. Just a little payback for the World Series last year, hahahaha
drink heineken and get to spring training …books are for nerds
Heineken? Really? I'd rather drink horse urine. It's cheaper and probably tastes better than Heineken.
I do not get to post that much anymore, (my company blocks any blogging) but I have to weigh in on this issue.
You show a great deal of class by offering to work it out. Being antagonistic to these people will only make things worse. If more people offer the olive branch like you, life would be a lot better.
I am an avid yankee fan and I admit, some yankee fans are the rudest people I have ever seen at the ball park. A lot of us are good people.These people are ignorant. Be careful because I do not think they can be satisfied.
For all those that say to you ?get a life?, I am 50 years old, I have 2 childrens and a lovely wife. I have a tough job. Snagging baseballs is my release. I love that it brings me closer to the game. Zack has only made my passion better.
These people are not fans of the game. Go do what you do without reservation. Know
that the people who exaggerate and say you knock over kids are in the minority.
Be careful with these guys. I do not in anyway advocate fighting. Racial slurs just show their intelligence level. Don?t stoop. Stay the same. We have your back.
Brendan (Helmet guy)
LOL at the troll begging for attention. Zach do what you love man if he's telling you to get live what is he doing with his if he has time to make an art project and send it to you. This is hilarious. Good luck with your situation man but he's the one who needs help not you.
Hey Zack,
I understand you have good intentions will all of this. And I appreciate your honesty. It's great.
But putting this in the public eye isn't such a great idea. It just encourages more people to do the same thing.
And to all of you haters,
Lay off the kid. He just likes to have fun. And he's raising thousands of dollars for charity. How could you possibly hate someone like that?
-Garrett KC
Reasoning with unreasonable people is a tough nut to crack. Considering my background is in Law Enforcement I know that it takes real dummy to write someone that they are going to do them bodily harm and refer to their religion. Not smart.
They give you grief for not getting loaded and playing softball and spending your time getting balls and then turn around and waste their time (and postage) with some goofball letters. Threats are a dime a dozen, people rarely follow through on them.
Who knows?, maybe these guys will read your replies, take a deep breath, and man up and say they are sorry.
Zack, Don't let these guys get you down. If it bothered them that bad at the time of the incident that their PORCELAIN female companion buddy was in someway injured, they should've taken up the complaint with an official police report. At this time, they are over the line in the area above harassment as they are making physical threats over a period of time. These "grown-ups" that "know better" should seriously watch what they say. After all, i'm sure you have the photos. And reposting them or sending them around is as easy as a click of the mouse. These individuals would not want to be heckled at every game they attend by fans on this site that are not under the age of 18.
I know the "grown up" with not much time on his hands that wants to revert back to his jock HS days views this site regularly. I invite him to send me a PM. Maybe when he views this site, he wont be drunk like he was when he wrote you all those letters and have a reality check on his criminal actions. Watch your threats, or the next game you watch, your female companion will be sitting next to an empty seat at any game you attend…..
Zack this is Nick from Pittsburgh. Your fund raising for baseball equipment for underprivileged youth last year was outstanding. Dont worry too much about this, and keep up the work on what sounds like a great book.
Sorry about those letters. You should go to the police. Does anyone know if it's easy to get autos at coots field?
Zack, from a fellow Zak to another, this makes me feel sick
The last item that concerned your religion was downright disgusting. I for one, will be rooting against the Yankees this year, for the pure reason of these *****!
Keep up the great work with the hawking and with the charity, and I'd like to say that this blog gives me a second reason to love the MLB Season.
Much Respect!
Just saying, we "Jew ********" gotta stick together. I'm ready to fight! :)
Zack, I am sorry that you have had to deal with so much abuse. I am a little surprised that you even dignified their letters with a response on your blog.
I enjoy reading the accounts of your quest for balls at each game you attend, and I enjoyed meeting you at Dodger Stadium in 2008. I remember watching you heading for a ball during BP and there was a kid (10-12 years old) going after the same ball. You could have easily given him a little push with your body to give yourself a better chance to get the ball. But instead you were careful not to bump him and the kid got the ball. I wasn't sure someone who gets as many balls as you do in a season would be that nice.
However, it doesn't really matter how nice you are. There are people who believe that "one" is the limit at batting practice.
I also have had people say that my kids and I should not change shirts and hats for the visiting team. I told them it's not like I'm turning my back on the Dodgers; I'm just rooting for the only team on the field.
Thanks for all the support. I truly appreciate it. I've read every single comment, but I'm not going to respond to each one individually. It would take too long (when I need to stay focused on my book), and I don't even think it would be productive. For the record, this is the very first time that I've responded to these letters. Some of you seem to think that I've somehow been responding to each letter individually, engaging in a back-and-forth dialogue. That is not the case. The letters have been coming for months. I finally answered them all at once, here on the blog, in this entry. While some of you may think I'm weak or naive for communicating with these people and making this public, I felt it was the right thing to do. We each have our own way of dealing with things. Case closed. As for the "OME" and "GLE" that appeared in one of the letters, that was a reference to a recent entry I posted about the web site omegle.com. If you're wondering about the comment from "firstname.lastname@example.com," that was not posted by the same people who sent these letters; it was posted by someone I know — a very well-known ballhawk, in fact — who apparently thought it was funny. Given the fact that this is my blog, I can (among other things) get the IP address of anyone who leaves a comment, trace it to their exact location, and search for all other comments posted from that IP address. (Oops!) And finally, again, for the record, my name is Zack. Not Zach.
that is dumb. its a hobby, if he has a problem with it then he needs to quit going to games, because im pretty sure EVERYONE snags baseballs to a certain extent.
Hey Zack, I like your approach, but you have to think about the type of person you're dealing with here. Nothing about those letters suggest this is a rational, logical, level-headed, educated, reasonable person. One or more of those traits would be required to have a face to face talk where he could voice his issues and come to an amicable resolution. This person has no appreciation for diversity, spelling or decent hockey teams. Let the police deal with him (and remind them he's guilty of a hate crime, due to his anti-semitic comment in the last letter and on the puck). Also, for the Zack supporters wanting to duke it out, realize that if there is a fight at Yankee stadium linked to this issue, they'll most likely ask him to leave (regardless of his physical involvement, who started it, etc) and not come back. Other MLB parks could follow, deciding that the risk of altercations isn't worth it. Something like that would negatively impact him, putting an end to something he's very passionate about, not to mention putting a dent in his fundraising efforts. Keep doing what you do Zack, not only are you great at it, but you've done it without being a jerk and have gone out of your way to help others.
sounds like someone needs to be the recipient of a little Hample Jinx. haha. dont worry zack, i've got your back at yankee stadium.
p.s. you are the modern day michael jackson, haha.
I wouldn't chalk this up to Bronx Loonies as this phenomenon is growing within society. Someone gets publicity and/or creates a bit of celebrity for themselves regardless of how mainstream or "quirky" and the jealous chest beaters come out of the woodwork. Look at the violence and threats that have been spewed at the Jersey Shore dudes (and dudettes). Low self esteem, a sense of entitlement, poor upbringing, disintegrating schools, pampering little Johnny and shielding him from losing or failing as a youngster so he grows up totally unprepared how to deal with failure….add a dose of tesosterone in front of adoring, instigating women and this is the ultimate result. Everyone just needs to lighten up and try to do something on their own instead of trying to bring others down. Keep up the good work Zack and keep bringing us something to smile about. We'll deal with these tics on the dog bottom of life.
I agree with Dan, it's got to be a kid because an adult with writing and spelling like that would just be too pitiful. Roll on with your life brotha. Nothing wrong with floating to your own tune…D
TLeon here. This is crazy stuff. Don't feed the morons. It's good that you addressed this, but leave it alone after this. Clearly, these letters were written mostly by one person. You just have to look at the letter "Y" in each of them to see that. I also have no doubt this was done by an adult. You should see some of the hate mail I get. Nobody knows spelling or grammar anymore. And "laided"? That's just sad.
Let me know when you're going out to Yankee Stadium. I'll be happy to serve as security to make sure you don't get your *** kicked. Keep doing what you do. This charity thing is excellent.
Sad saga exposed by so-called yankee fan(s) an ugly side I do see when going to batting practice in the bronx.
hey buddy boy,
there's a nice little adjective to describe these 'tough guys': Trolls. feed them more, they give out more. These guys are just jealous of your life's passion. Keep at it pal, and don't let them drag you down.

Justin Smith's likely return big factor for 49ers
DE missing final two regular season games with torn triceps
Even at less than full strength, Justin Smith's presence on the San Francisco defensive line is enough to instill plenty of fear in opposing offenses.
Or even his own teammates, for that matter. Running back Frank Gore endured his toughest training camp yet last summer while facing his defensive teammates each day -- Smith, in particular.
Smith is expected to return to the field for Saturday night's NFC divisional playoff game against Green Bay at Candlestick Park, and oh how his teammates will welcome back "The Cowboy" as they try to chase down Aaron Rodgers and Co.
Smith missed the final two regular-season games with a partially torn left triceps muscle, which is now covered in a protective brace for practice.
