America Is In The Most Precarious Situation Since The Civil War, 160 Years Ago!
January 10, 2021 Ronald 1 Comment
Sadly, America is in the most precarious situation since the Civil War, 160 years ago!
Even during the Civil War, the US Capitol and Washington, DC, while under threat from Southern Confederate military forces, never saw the secessionists enter the nation's capital!
World War II was a dangerous time, but never was the US Capitol or Washington, DC in direct danger!
When Al Qaeda attacked on September 11, 2001, America was fortunate that an attempt to attack Washington, DC was unsuccessful, although the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia was successfully damaged!
But now, the danger of more attacks on the US Capitol, and Washington, DC, and threats to the lives of President Elect Joe Biden and Vice President Elect are very real, and makes the next ten days very precarious, but even beyond the inauguration!
We have now in the US Congress seditionists and traitors who continued to support Donald Trump in a phony challenge to clear cut election results, which were repudiated in over 60 legal cases, and twice by the Supreme Court, including all three Donald Trump appointees part of the unanimous majority in each case.
We have Senators such as Josh Hawley of Missouri and Ted Cruz of Texas, along with Congressmen including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana, Jim Jordan of Ohio, Devin Nunes of California, Matt Gaetz of Florida, Louie Gohmert of Texas, and so many others, who rightfully should be expelled from Congress, and be considered as complicit in the violent attack on the US Capitol, which led to the deaths of five people, including a Capitol police officer.
And Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump, Jr. and Rudy Giuliani, who stirred up the crowd on January 6 to assault the Capitol should all face criminal charges!
No question, Joe Biden faces challenges even greater than Abraham Lincoln, as not only do we have millions of crazed people who are adopting extremist right wing and QAnon views, but they are capable of continuing violence and bloodshed, which could lead literally to a a second Civil War!

The Heroes Of 2020: Bright Lights In A Year The Worst In Most People's Lifetimes
The year 2020 has been the worst year in most people's lifetimes, but there have been heroes who deserve attention and appreciation from all decent Americans.
The ultimate hero is Dr. Anthony Fauci, who reached the age of 80 yesterday, and has been an inspiration to anyone who believes in science, and respects expertise over "junk science", or science that is generations out of date.
Some of our greatest heroes of the year, sadly, have departed, including Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who left a legacy of promotion of equal rights for all groups in America, including women, people of color, the disabled, and equal justice for all.
Also departing this world was Congressman John Lewis of Georgia, who promoted the concept of "good trouble" to advance human rights in a world and nation that too often is not engaged in such efforts.
Another hero is former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who advanced equality of gays and lesbians, just by becoming the first known gay Presidential contender, and now will be the first openly gay Cabinet officer as Secretary of Transportation.
Another hero is Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, who has done an amazing job pursuing justice, equality, and the interests of the American people, in a time of the massive threat presented by Donald Trump, and has not blinked at his threats, misogyny, and crazed insanity. She has had to deal with the unrelenting misogyny of many in the Republican Party opposition, and Trump supporters who show a total lack of respect for her that they would never utter against a man!
Another hero is California Congressman Adam Schiff, who was a key player in the impeachment investigation of Donald Trump, and is Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. He has suffered from threats and vicious attacks by Donald Trump and his minions, but has demonstrated courage and conviction in an admirable manner.
Another hero is South Carolina Congressman James Clyburn, the highest ranked African American in Congress as House Majority Whip, third ranking leadership role. If it were not for Clyburn, Joe Biden would not have been able to become the Democratic Presidential nominee this year, as Clyburn's endorsement was a major factor in Biden winning the South Carolina Primary and moving forward to the top of the Democratic Presidential ticket.
Another such hero is the future First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden, who, with her elegance and intelligence, will raise the level of that position from the disgraceful low level it reached in the past four years.
California Senator Kamala Harris, soon to be Vice President of the United States, is another hero, who will be the first woman, and first woman of color with her Jamaican and Asian Indian heritage, to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency. She is a role model for women and racial minorities, and will be a very influential Vice President, more in the direction of Joe Biden, Al Gore, and Walter Mondale, than Mike Pence!
And last but not least, Joe Biden, who is a man of decency, compassion, ethics, and empathy, will be our 46th President on January 20, 2021. He will face the most daunting set of issues of any President since Abraham Lincoln in 1861, Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, and Barack Obama in 2009. His long career in Congress, and his outstanding Vice Presidency give America hope, that in a time of a "dark winter", as Joe Biden calls the COVID 19 Pandemic and the Second Great Depression, that Biden will take leadership on the level of FDR's New Deal to take us to brighter days and a recovery in 2021 and beyond!
Everyone needs to pray for his success, but all know that he will not waste a minute or a day in promoting himself on Twitter or playing golf, as our despicable 45th President, Donald Trump, has done more of in the past four years, than doing his job!

Republican Party Digging Its Grave, With Only About Ten Percent Acknowledging Joe Biden Victory
The Republican Party is digging its own grave, with their reprehensible behavior, with only ten percent, or approximately 27 out of about 250 members of the party in Congress, acknowledging Joe Biden's overwhelming victory in the Presidential Election of 2020.
The Republican Party refusal to stand up to Donald Trump and his childish temper tantrum behavior is going to reverberate on them in the future, as droves of voters abandon the party of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, as they become a more extremist right wing group of lunatics!
Twelve US Senators and 15 House members have publicly accepted that the election is over, with the Senators being the following:
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
Susan Collins of Maine
Mitt Romney of Utah
Ben Sasse of Nebraska
Lamar Alexander of Tennessee
Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania
Marco Rubio of Florida
Bill Cassidy of Louisiana
Deb Fischer of Nebraska
Shelley Moore Capito Of West Virginia
Jerry Moran of Kansas
James Risch of Idaho
The two most notable Congressmen are Will Hurd of Texas, who is retiring from Congress, and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, who is notable for speaking out against Trump before the election.
Additionally, three Senators have indicated that they will accept Joe Biden as legitimate, when the Electoral College declares him the winner, with those three Senators being Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, and Mike Rounds of South Dakota.
The rest of the Republicans are "Missing in Action", failing to do their job, and refusing to show proper respect and acceptance of the person elected by a margin of 7 million popular votes, and for that, they will be condemned in history!

Donald Trump Obsesses On An Election He Lost, And Endangers America On COVID 19 And National Security
Donald Trump is wasting his last two plus months in office obsessing on an election he lost, undermining faith in American democracy at a time of America being endangered by the COVID 19 Pandemic, which he refuses to relate to, or care about the massive loss of life, now 250,000 men, women, and children after only 8 months.
Trump is also a danger to national security, with his reckless plan to attack Iran, and withdraw troops precipitously from Iraq and Afghanistan, undermining the fight against terrorism worldwide, and angering even many Republicans.
It has made this transition the most dangerous and tense since 1932-1933 (Franklin D. Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover), and 1860-1861 (Abraham Lincoln and James Buchanan).
Joe Biden faces a series of crises even greater than Barack Obama faced after his election in 2008.

The Second Presidential Debate In Nashville: Joe Biden Has Best Debate And Kristen Welker Triumphs!
October 23, 2020 Ronald Leave a comment
Last night's Nashville Tennessee Presidential debate was far better than the first Presidential debate a few weeks ago simply because Donald Trump finally obeyed the rules, and stopped interrupting Joe Biden and being massively rude.
But the winner of the debate clearly was Joe Biden, who had his best debate of the Presidential campaign season, and proved beyond any doubt that he can perform in such a way as to prove he is nowhere near demented, and is able to make clear his main points and ideas in a cogent manner.
Biden is perfectly capable of being President of the United States, and is much more stable mentally than Donald Trump, who often has come across in the past four years as mentally deranged!
Meanwhile, Donald Trump continued to lie, lie, lie with impunity, and demonstrate that he has no plan on health care or the COVID 19 Pandemic, so while he did not harm himself in this debate, he did not gain any points either.
Trump also claimed, laughingly, that he is the least racist person there is, when he is by far by words and actions over a lifetime the most racist President in American history, and makes George Wallace seem mild by comparison! When he mentioned he has done the most of any President on the issue of race since Abraham Lincoln, he forgets Lyndon B. Johnson completely!
Trump also demonstrated he has no concern about his criminal act of separating children from their parents at the border, and now having so many unable to be reunited with their families.
This action should lead to a criminal trial for the President and his entire Cabinet at the Hague, as it is a violation of human rights and international law to mistreat children in any circumstance!
But the star of the debate above all was moderator Kristen Welker of NBC News, who was masterful in keeping control of the timing of the debate, and did herself proud, and this will advance her stature and her career. So congratulations, Kristen!

Donald Trump (Mussolini) As He Crashes, And Joe Biden (Elements Of Lincoln, FDR, And Obama) For The Future
October 7, 2020 Ronald 9 Comments
Donald Trump is acting like Mussolini, with elements of Hitler, as his administration is crashing around him.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden has elements of Abraham Lincoln, as he spoke yesterday at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and the future need for him, with the help of a Democratic Congress, and his Vice President, Kamala Harris, to act like Franklin D. Roosevelt, as Biden will face a series of crises on the level of Lincoln and FDR, and also, that of Barack Obama in 2009.
However, 2021 now looks as if it will be a combination of 1861, 1933, and 2009, and we are going to need wisdom, conviction, and strength as the new President will need to promote a New Deal and Great Society combination domestically, and need to have the guts and courage of Harry Truman in foreign policy, to restore our alliances and protect our national security.

Happy 96th Birthday, President Jimmy Carter! You Will Rise In Historical Reputation In The Future!
October 1, 2020 Ronald Leave a comment
Today is the 96th Birthday of former President Jimmy Carter, the longest lived American President, who surpassed Herbert Hoover in retirement years in 2012.
He and his wife and Vice President Walter Mondale will, God Willing, celebrate 40 years in retirement on January 20, 2021, when we will see the likely inauguration of a man just as decent and humane as Jimmy Carter, Joe Biden!
Carter has been much attacked unjustly, and not appreciated for his amazing environmentalism; the creation of three Cabinet agencies (Education, Health and Human Services, Energy); the Egyptian Israeli Peace Treaty at Camp David, which has held for more than 40 years; the Panama Canal Treaty; and his amazing Post Presidential career of good deeds, including the building of housing for Habitat for Humanity, but also his Carter Center fighting against disease, insuring fair elections in other nations, and promoting peace and democracy around the world.
Carter will rise in ratings of scholars once he passes from the scene, just as Harry Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower did in the years after their deaths, as often, Presidents are not appreciated in their lifetimes, with the best example being Abraham Lincoln!
Let us hope that Carter reaches the age of 100 four years from now with his bride Rosalynn by his side, and Walter Mondale too!

It Is Official: The Republican Party Has Become A Cult Around A Strong Arm Authoritarian Out To Destroy American Democracy!
The Republican National Convention began today during the daytime hours, and Donald Trump and Mike Pence were renominated for President and Vice President of the United States.
Donald Trump avoided tradition and spoke for an hour, ranting and raving against his "enemies", reminding those who know history of Adolf Hitler at his Nuremberg rallies.
We are witnessing the Republican Party officeholders swearing their loyalty to a man who has lied 20,000 times in office; has promoted racism, nativism, misogyny, white supremacy; has become a friend of authoritarians and alienated democratic nations; has undermined the judiciary, intelligence agencies, the foreign policy apparatus, and attacked the news media as "the enemy of the people"; has bullied and attacked all of his critics incessantly; has undermined our environment and civil liberties; has refused to take strong action against the CoronaVirus Pandemic; has shown no sense of compassion, empathy, decency or dignity in any form; and a legion of others sins and shortcomings that has never been matched by any previous President in more than two centuries of American history!
The party of such Presidential luminaries as Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush has been shamed by Donald Trump!
The party of such Congressional luminaries as Charles Sumner, Robert LaFollette, Sr., George Norris, Arthur Vandenberg, and Everett Dirksen has been embarrassed by the weak kneed refusal of today's Republican members of Congress to show some backbone to Donald Trump!
Face the facts: the Republican Party has become a cult, and is unlikely to come back into respectability, even after Donald Trump leaves the scene, as he has done so much damage and harm, that the Republican Party name may very well go into oblivion!

Presidential Debates Are Worthless, Unless Donald Trump Agrees To Two Conditions: Taxes Revealed, And Fact Checker For Trump Lies!
August 4, 2020 Ronald 11 Comments
There is no point to Joe Biden agreeing to debate with Donald Trump, unless Trump agrees to reveal his tax records, as Joe Biden has done, AND it is also agreed that there will be a fact checking team approved by both candidates to be hired by the non partisan Commission on Presidential Debates.
That team would report with ten minutes left in the debate any misleading statements, phony numbers, or outright lies uttered by either candidate.
Trump lies as he breathes, as Thomas Friedman of the New York Times said last month, and Biden should not allow that to go unanswered by a fact checking team at the debate.
Since Biden is comfortably ahead in all polls, he gains nothing by debates, and by refusing to debate, will infuriate Trump, who will go even more looney.
Trump knows he is losing, and Joe Biden should just continue to make public statements before small audiences with proper distancing. Biden is being helped by various Republican groups who are dedicated to Trump's defeat as the only way to revive the party of Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Joe Biden has been right since January on the CoronaVirus Pandemic, and should make the effort to win as many states as possible, but the debates make no sense at this point, unless Trump agrees to the two conditions mentioned above, which will not occur!

Joe Biden Makes Himself Available Regularly On The Internet: New Method Of Campaigning For President
May 27, 2020 Ronald 6 Comments
The Presidential campaign of 2020 for Joe Biden has begun in a distinguished manner. There were people wondering where he was, but he has answered by presenting his ideas and concerns on a daily basis now that we are just about five months to Election Day!
Joe Biden is on the internet just about every day with a video or interview, as campaigning person to person is not possible with the COVID-19 Pandemic raging across the globe, and just today, the horrid figure of 100,000 deaths in three months, an average of 900 a day, stares at us.
At the rate that this pandemic is expanding, and with the expectation that there will be a second wave, based on history and science, we can expect, sadly, that there will be 200,000 dead by the end of August, and 300,000 by Thanksgiving!
So Joe Biden must campaign in a new way, and he manages to express thoughts of concern, empathy, compassion, decency, and humanity, but that is nothing new for Joe Biden, as that is who he is!
Meanwhile, Donald Trump expresses none of the above traits, and disgusts more Americans every day, who rightfully blame him for the inadequate response to the pandemic. There is the belief at least one third to maybe one half of the deaths could have been averted if actions had been taken in January and February and early March, rather than waiting to mid to late March, when the virus was spreading widely!
Joe Biden gives us hope and a Presidential presence, even though he is not President, reminding us of Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and Barack Obama in his ability to deal with a crisis, although not of his making.

Starting Monday, July 20, pavement work will close a portion of North Main Street, from Broadway to Park Drive.
The work will cause both lanes of traffic to be closed and detoured around the project. Detour signs will be in place including locations at Broadway and Middle and also at Main and Park Drive. Work is expected to last one week, weather permitting.
As always, drivers are asked to use caution while work is underway. For more information, please contact the City of Cape Girardeau Development Services Department at 573-339-6327.


Mark Anthony Brands International know a thing or two about success in the US ready to drink market (check out our work with their market leading Mikes Harder ). So a new brief to disrupt and invigorate a growing category really got us thirsty for more.
Launch a new single serve cocktail to capture the fast growing market of young US party animals that want refreshment with attitude. The market was ripe for challenger brand that could break through a sea of bland brands and completely shake up the category.
Our idea centred around the creation of an MXD tribe of 'Spirit Animals' loaded with attitude and mixed with a dash of wickedness. The range currently includes Joey the Californian Chihuahua and Logan the Floridan Parrot. The dress code is psychedelic colours and/or (slightly disturbing) Hawaiian shirts.
Brand creation: creative territories, naming, research concepts, brand positioning, brand design, character design and packaging design.
The party is really kicking off. MXD was launched in a number of key states to a phenomenally positive reception from both trade and consumers. New flavours are soon to join the crew, expect Thiago our Cuban panther to mix up the Strawberry Daiquiri soon.

The Baseball Collector
My name is Zack Hample, and I've snagged more than 11,000 baseballs in the stands at MLB stadiums. I don't blog (much) anymore, but there are hundreds of *amazing* entries here in the archives, so comb through those and make sure to find me on YouTube. That's where the action is now.
About zackhample
Book update No. 13 — possible new title
I just got a call from my editor. She said she woke up at 5am last night with an epiphany for a possible new title. (It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who's losing sleep over it.)
She suggested calling it:
Ballhawks: The Legacy, The Obsession, And The Insanity Surrounding the Baseball
The book, as it stands now, is tentatively titled "Five Ounces and 108 Stitches," but we've been considering other titles such as "The Glory of the Baseball" or "The Actual Baseball Itself" or "Cork, Rubber, and Cowhide." (A friend of mine jokingly suggested calling it "Absorb the Orb" or "The Sphere we Hold Dear" or "Bleed for the Seed" or "The Thrill of the Pill.")
As you may already know, this book is going to cover all the historical and factual stuff about baseballs (including evidence of the juiced ball controversy dating back to the 1860s), as well as a ton of quirky/wacky/funny stories. There are going to be chapters called "Death by Baseball," "Foul Ball Lore," "Foul Balls in Pop Culture," "Stunts," and more. There's going to be a ballhawk glossary at the end. There are going to be blurbs about famous fans and celebrity ballhawks. There's also going to be a whole chapter about ballhawking controversies, and the final third of the book is going to be a massively new-and-improved "How to Snag" section. This book covers SO much stuff. It's insane. And yeah, I'm still trying to find the right title for it.
Three months ago, I wrote this blog entry in which I tried to distance myself from the word "ballhawk." As I mentioned back then, the word has negative connotations. But now I'm starting to think…why hide from it as if it's a bad thing? Why not own it and reclaim it and show the world that being a "ballhawk" is something to be proud of? The ball is the object that's at the center of the baseball universe. It's a cultural and historical phenomenon. That's why people are so crazy about studying them and collecting them — and why Todd McFarlane paid $3.005 million for one in 1999. This book is a celebration of the ball and (in part) the people who obsess over it. Would a "Ballhawks" title capture that in a positive way? Or would it be too specific and discourage people from reading it? I welcome everyone's thoughts. Help me tweak the new "Ballhawks" subtitle so that it fully captures the scope of this book. Or feel free to suggest a whole new title. If there's something on your mind, I want to hear it.
Finally, if you'd like me to email you when the book comes out in March 2011, let me know. I'll add you to the growing list of people who have requested an official reminder.

Are editors known for marketing skills?
I think the title as she suggests narrows your audience and overall marketing opportunities. It seems to me that many more people will be interested in reading about the history of the baseball than about ballhawks.
Of course, you could still Ballhawks in the title, such as
Five Ounces and 108 Stitches: The History of America's Most Enduring Celebrity, from Spalding to Ballhawks
Actually, I like just ending with "Celebrity," but what do I know.
February 18, 2010 - 2:59 pm marypolitan@gmail.com
I really do not like that title. As soon as I saw it, I thought of your post that you referenced. And I understand what you mean by 'reclaiming' it but I agree that title would take away too much focus from the baseball. Like you said, the book is all about the baseball and that includes ballhawks and others that love them, but to me, that seems like only one part of the big picture. I really like the 5 ounces and 108 stitches title. I like the simplicity and how it is right to the point. I think that's perfect and clever.
I bought my opening day tickets today! Yay baseball!!!
February 18, 2010 - 3:40 pm bradfordbatboy@gmail.com
I agree that Ballhawks in the title – even in the the subtitle -is limiting. Fine to have ballhawks in the book, but not in the title. How about:
THE BASEBALL:
America's Obsession With a 5 Ounce Sphere
America's Love Affair With
THE BASEBALL
February 18, 2010 - 3:48 pm kaiserthegreat
I agree with all comments. If it's not specifically or exclusively about ballhawks, don't call it "Ballhawks!" I wouldn't buy a book about ballhawks, but I would buy a book about the history of the baseball. That sounds interesting and unique. Maybe a combo of the above: THE BASEBALL – AMERICA'S OBSESSION WITH 5 OUNCES AND 108 STITCHES.
February 18, 2010 - 4:45 pm mrespot
how about: 5 OUNCES AND 108 STITCHES, the ballhawk's National Pastime
February 18, 2010 - 5:15 pm zackhample
EVERYONE-
Thanks for your thoughts. (Sigh.) I got all excited when my editor first suggested this new title, but based on what you're all saying, it doesn't seem like it's the right way to go. But I'd still like to hear what more people think. It's not too late to get in on the discussion.
FATHER PUCK-
Yep, makes sense, but I don't think I want to push the "history" angle too much in the title. I think people will be turned off if they think they're just gonna be reading a bunch of old stuff.
MARYPOLITAN–
It turns out that there are lots of baseball books with numbers in the titles, like pitching books called "Sixty Feet Six Inches" and stuff like that. So now I'm not even sure about "Five Ounces and 108 Stitches." But I hear ya. Ballhawks are not the focus of the book, though ballhawking is a big theme.
BRADFORDBATBOY-
Thanks for weighing in on this. I like your suggestions for titles.
KAISERTHEGREAT-
I'm nodding as I'm re-reading your comment. Hard to argue with what you're telling me.
MRESPOT-
Perhaps, although that might be a bit limiting, too, you know? Baseball is the national pastime to more people than just the ballhawks. Hmm…
February 18, 2010 - 7:03 pm vegantemp@hotmail.com
I concur. I think the title should focus more on the ball and not so much on the hawking. Seems too limiting otherwise.
February 18, 2010 - 7:29 pm russelw
I hate to pile on, but………… not a fan of 'Ballhawks'.
February 18, 2010 - 7:55 pm soxsider26
Just putting my two cents in….I'm personally not a fan of the new title. Like others have stated, I feel it really narrows the book's target audience. I like the Five Ounces and 108 Stitches title. It shows that the book is more about the ball and everything with it, not, as the revised title would be, centered around the Ballhawk with the ball being secondary.
February 18, 2010 - 8:55 pm danr@moviechurch.com
Hey Zack,
Not a fan of "Ballhawks" in the title, but to focus on all the aspects that you're examining, I would definitely pick up and read…….. "Legends Of The Ball: The Backstory, Obsession and Legacy Surrounding the Baseball ", obviously a play on Legends of the Fall, which conveniently for you, every October gets a headline published in some newspaper referring to that season's WS champ (recurring press year after year!).
I think you could also pitch "UnBALLievable: How 5 Ounces Plus 108 Stitches Equals 1 Major League Obsession" or some other subtitle to go with UnBALLievable
February 18, 2010 - 9:45 pm steelcity9999
I'm with everyone else, don't like the suggestion of a Ballhawk title. The title should reflect the content, and it sounds like this book is so much more than that.
Maybe you can use that title or a variation of it for the description of the ballhawking/snagging section, and use something more encompassing for the book title.
By the way, check your email soon!!
P.S. any type of prize for the person who helps you come up with (or just came up with!) what ends up being the official title? Maybe a "Watch With Zack" Grand Prize or at least a shout out in the acknowledgments page? You might "inspire" the title out of someone. haha
February 18, 2010 - 9:49 pm CHI CUBS
Your authors title sounds AWESOME!!! It describes the book perfectly!
February 18, 2010 - 9:53 pm gmeyer0208@gmail.com
I don't like the idea of having "ballhawk" in the title either. I think that to most people the word has a negative connotation. It could discourage some people from buying your book.
Sorry to sound harsh, but that's my opinion.
-Garrett
February 19, 2010 - 12:09 am zackhample
VEGANTEMP-
Your concurrence is duly noted.
WRIGLEY REGULAR-
Piling on is welcome. The more people who say that the title sucks, the more it helps convince me that it's NOT the way to go.
SOXSIDER26-
Thanks for letting me know what's on your mind.
DANR-
I like "Legends of the Ball" and "UnBALLievable" but fear that those titles might be a bit too gimmicky. Not sure, but I'll add your suggestion to the mix. I was thinking of awarding a prize. Not sure about doing a WWZ game because what it someone wins it who lives in Iceland? Do I have to then travel there? (Well, not Iceland, but you get the point.) I was thinking of perhaps sending two free/signed copies of the book to the winner of the title naming contest.
STEELCITY9999-
Email be checked. Supercool. I don't have time to answer it right now, but my brain is processing it.
CHI CUBS-
You mean…my editor's title? The one with "Ballhawks" in it?
GARRETT-
I like harshness as long as it's honest. Thanks.
February 19, 2010 - 12:25 am cookandsonbats
I agree with the others, particularly fatherpuck — the suggested title narrows the focus of the book and it will likely turn off lots of people who dislike ballhawks.
I don't like any of the other suggestions either. Too clunky, too cute, too gimmicky, too unclear, too off point.
The title should tell the people what the book is about. My mom loves baseball (long time season ticket holder), but I doubt she knows that a baseball weighs 5 oz. or has 108 stitches. Given only the title, she probably wouldn't know what "that" book is about.
I don't think the title should suggest any particular focus other than "the" focus. Don't put any sub-title, sub-clause, sub-concept in there that will bring the focus away from "the" focus of the book. Ballhawk, history, obsession, stithes, cowhide, none of those terms tell the whole story, including them without including other sub-concepts does a disservice to the lofty goal of the book.
What are you writing this book about? The Baseball. In fact, if done correctly, this is going to be the definitive book about the baseball. And that is my suggestion:
Zack Hample
I would italicize the word "The" but otherwise keep it extremely simple, extremely clean, extremely classic. Timeless.
Those are my 24 cents.
– Todd
http://cookandsonbats.mlblogs.com
Yea, your editor's title
TODD-
I'd looooooove "The Baseball by Zack Hample" but I'm not sure the publisher would go for it. I think the first part of the title might end up being "The Baseball," in which case I'm pretty sure that they'd want to add a fancy subtitle to it…and I'd be okay with that. Subtitles can be very helpful when someone actually picks up the book in a store or goes to see it on Amazon. Those few words in the subtitle can convey A LOT of info, and it also helps with Google searches and what not. Anyway, thanks for those 24 cents.
CHICUBS-
Thanks for clarifying. Interesting…
February 19, 2010 - 5:13 pm bravesgeek10
If you are going to go with something along the lines of the original title, I would suggest it being "Five Ounces, 108 Stitches" with the only difference being the comma in place of the conjuction. Also, you could do something like:
Five Ounces, 108 Stitches,
The History of the Baseball
…but it's just a suggestion.
February 20, 2010 - 12:05 am goisles
I really think Bradford is right on target–
Five Ounces; 108 stitches:
America's Love Affair With the Baseball
To me, that captures the essence of everything you want to convey and how YOU behave at the ballpark. The title conveys enthusiasm without being corny and would catch my attention in a book store. Moreover, can you get a celebrity to write a 2-3 page forward on the book with that title–on their own love affair–or does that cost way too much money?
At the grandest level, I could see someone like Billy Crystal wanting to write something like that! My only other advice here is don't get Woody Allen to write it!
February 20, 2010 - 12:29 am cougar914
Zack whats up glad you liked reading my blog. Hopefully we can set up a day in Pgh, Cle or elsewhere to get to a game. I like the title Ballhawks:The Legacy, The Obsession, and the Insanity surrounding the Baseball most, definitely looking forward to reading it. It will probably be the most worn out copy after Im finished. Well good luck finishing up your book, I will stay in touch.
February 20, 2010 - 1:01 am aaron.somers@gmail.com
Definitely add me to that list if you don't mind Zack. I'm looking forward to the book.

Unrelated to your book title but here is a cool story about a 7'8″ basketball player in West Virginia:
http://insider.espn.go.com/ncb/insider/news/story?id=4927812

i like the cork rubber and cowhide. i could easily see that being the title of a good baseball book. if i was ever in the baseball section at a book stoe and saw that, id probably pick it up.
and maybe make a title that includes the history of fun facts, as well as modern day stuff. you said you didnt want to turn people off to read about old stuff, so such a title could be good. then, once you have the people captured and reading with the title and facts, they will ALSO be reading about ballhawks and how they arent bad people

I get the negative connonations of the word ballhawk, but im not sure if someone unfamilier with the word would automatically associate it with the negative. So for that reason i like the title Ballhawks: The Legacy, The Obsession, And The Insanity Surrounding the Baseball. I also like the title The Baseball as someone suggested. and you can send me an e-mail when the book comes out.

For my two cents, I'll say this: if I were giving a title to a book on the history and quirks of the baseball itself and people's "love affair" with it, I would go with "Five Ounces and 108 Stitches: The Definitive History of the Baseball."
It's classy enough that it's not gimmicky (a la "Legends of the Ball") and it's punchy enough that it's not bland (as in "The Baseball by Zack Hample" – sorry, but that just sounds like the title of a 5th grade report!).
It sticks to the topic at hand, which is, of course, the history of the baseball: how it's made, what happens to it before game time, different styles of balls over the ages, etc. up through modern-day ballhawking and stories of fan/ball interactions. To any common sense person, that's a history. And considering that you're the first to write a book like this, it's a DEFINITIVE history.
As for "Five Ounces and 108 Stitches"… well, that's a title which would get my attention, which is what you want. The subtitle is for people who pick it up after seeing that part of the title, and want more info. "The Definitive History of the Baseball" tells the reader exactly what they'd be getting into.
I say keep it simple. But one thing I think everyone here has thus far agreed on: since this is not a book about ballhawks, don't use that in your title!

I like "The Sphere We Hold Dear" the best. Also wouldn't that other title be 6 ounces and 108 stitches? I'm pretty sure a baseball weighs 6 ounces, not 5. Please let me know if I'm wrong.

ZANE-
The thing about getting someone else to write a foreword is that it's up to ME to find the person and pay for it, if necessary. Same thing with getting a quote for the cover. So I'm not sure how that's all gonna play out. It's really tough.

That'd be cool to meet up again somewhere this year. Glad to hear you're looking forward to the book. Thanks, and yes, let's definitely keep in touch.

Thanks! I love stuff like that.

Thanks for your input, fine sir. Makes sense.

Okay, I'll email about the book, and thanks for letting me know that you like both titles.
DBACKS1985-
I like your idea for a title very much, and everything you said makes sense…except…this book has SOOOOOO much funny and wacky and controversial stuff in it…and I don't think your title (classy as it is) coveys that. I mean…this book is going to make people's jaws drop in some places, and it's gonna make people crack up in others. And the rest of the time, I'm hoping that people will simply be entertained/fascinated.
READBETWEENTHEVINES-
The ball is *currently* supposed to weigh between 5 and 5.25 ounces, but there've been times throughout history when it was both accidentally and intentionally more/less.

For now– i hate the subtitle fad. Sick of it!
i like "Five Ounces and 108 Stitches".

Yeah, I like short, crisp titles, too, but from a marketing perspective, I think that the subtitles can be very effective. Anyway, hello to the Bookmeister.

Fieldworker Story
Judith Elavian: A calabash doing humanitarian work
Judith Elavian is a Doctors Without Borders (MSF) nurse, who recently returned after working in Nigeria for nine months in a project delivering sexual reproductive health services in the northern Jigawa state. This is a story of the day she learned that in Nigeria, a calabash is not just for drinking water as it is in her home country of Kenya.
Working in the small village of Jahun in Jigawa state, Nigeria, as an outreach activity nurse, Judith's tasks included going out into communities to encourage both men and women to make use of the services provided at clinics nearest to them. This saw her working on awareness raising, health promotion as well as providing training and support to staff in other facilities around the region, in order to reduce the number of referrals to the general hospital to avoid overcrowding.
One sunny day, the outreach team visited one of the communities in Jagawa state, hoping to speak primarily to the men in the area with the aim of talking to them about the importance of encouraging the women to go to the clinics and receive the necessary reproductive health services, including family planning, maternal support and contraceptives.
To their surprise, an overwhelming number of men showed great interest and came to listen. On this day, Judith had forgotten her water bottle which she always carries with to outreach visits, and very soon she became thirsty.
"The first thing I noticed upon arrival was a brown, round calabash. Back home in Kenya we use it to keep water cold. I asked to have a glass of the cold water from the calabash and after my message was translated to the men, I heard chuckles and more laughter," says Judith. "I was confused and asked why they were laughing at me..."
It turned out that the laughter was because the calabash she was asking to drink refreshing water from was not for that purpose at all - but rather to deal with a more deadlier aspect of water. People in this community literally use the calabash as a life-saving utensil. During rainy seasons when floods occur frequently, this calabash doubles as a floatation device used to navigate the floodwaters when people need to get to hospitals or reach the outside world.
"The village is situated in a paddy area and when it rains, it quickly gets flooded. During the rainy season, we witnessed around up to three maternal deaths monthly due to floods that make it increasingly difficult for people to travel or reach health care facilities nearby," a community leader explained to Judith.
"During this period, it is the children who always benefit from the calabash when they get sick and need to be taken to the hospital. They'll be put inside the basin as the adult wades through the water and pushes the calabash forward."
This year, however, they are very happy that MSF has supported a facility nearer to them where they can easily access maternal healthcare - yet the seasonal flooding will still make it an arduous journey for the mothers to reach the clinics.
"I have hope that someday we shall overcome these challenges in communities...maybe by inventing a bigger and better calabash for the women as a continent, kadang kadang (slowly by slowly)," says Judith.

Tinea Corporis and Pityriasis Rosea
David L. Kaplan, MD
The parents of an 8-year-old boy seek evaluation of a red patch on their son's shoulder. The asymptomatic spot erupted 2 weeks earlier. The patient has seasonal allergies and frequently plays with his dog.
Figure>Case 1:
What is your clinical impression?
A. Psoriasis.
B. Tinea corporis.
C. Impetigo.
D. Contact dermatitis.
E. Erythema migrans.
The parents of a 9-year-old girl are concerned about their daughter's rash that developed 1 week earlier. The asymptomatic eruption is primarily on the trunk. The patient has no history of contactant exposure, takes no medications, and has not had any recent illnesses. The family pets include a dog and a cat.
What is the most likely cause of this patient's rash?
A. Pityriasis rosea.
B. Psoriasis.
C. Tinea corporis.
D. Nummular eczema.
E. Contact dermatitis.
Dermclinic-Answers
Case 1: Tinea corporis
A potassium hydroxide evaluation confirmed tinea corporis, B, which responded to a topical antifungal. The family was advised to have their dog examined by a veterinarian because the pet was the suspected source of the dermatophyte.
Erythema migrans associated with Lyme disease was unlikely, since the patient had no prodromal symptoms and the lesion developed in winter, long after the tick bite transmission season. Because the single lesion was not pruritic and erupted on a site that was covered by clothing, patch tests for contact dermatitis were not warranted. The lesion demonstrated far less scale than is seen in psoriasis; the absence of tender, crusted vesicles ruled out impetigo.
Case 2: Pityriasis rosea
Circular patches of scaling and erythema are clues to pityriasis rosea, A, a self-limited disease that may last for weeks to months. This patient exhibits signs of both the common form of the disorder and a papular variant. A corticosteroid cream and the anti-inflammatory effect of moderate exposure to sunlight cleared the outbreak.
Psoriasis in this age group usually follows a streptococcal infection; this patient had no such history. Her rash was far too extensive to be tinea corporis. She had no history of atopy, which made nummular eczema unlikely. Contact dermatitis is pruritic and not as discrete as this patient's lesions.

Confidence is a product of success. With success our confidence grows enabling us to act with greater focus and intensity. Confidence encourages curiosity and fuels courage. It emboldens our thinking and fortifies action. Confidence is a consequence of intent; our intent to become. Frequently, our vision of the future is imprecise, yet we possess images of what we intend to be or plan to achieve. Confidence helps us realize our futures. It strengths our resolve and stimulates momentum enabling coherence in thought and continuity of action as we press forward toward achieving our goals.
The American mythologist, writer, and teacher Joseph Campbell wrote "Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging." Often, the challenges of modern life drive us to find "deeper powers within ourselves" to conceive, believe, and achieve our personal and professional visions of future. At times, our confidence wanes; neither enabling nor sustaining us. It recedes within us rendering our efforts to achieve goals near lifeless or lost to memory. So, how can we develop our confidence to serve us with greater reliability? What strategies and methods can we employ to build confidence; in turn coherence and continuity in pursuit of our personal and professional visions of the future?
Let's consider the role of coaching in enabling confidence.
Coaches help build confidence. They enable us to create contexts of honesty and authenticity. They promote self-reflection helping us to acknowledge truths about our talent and potential relative to realizing our visions of the future. Coaches challenge our thinking and rationales for action. They listen intently and intensely in order to stimulate our awareness to trends and issues that may be inhibiting progress. Professor Benjamin Weider, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Academy for Continuing Education shares "Confidence is developed and strengthened by coaching. Working with a coach can enable professionals to acquire key cognitive and behavioral strategies necessary to achieve consistent high performance." Performing confidently promotes consistency. For many people, in order to perform at high levels, they need to create coherence or balance in their lives. Coaches can enable confidence.
The great English poet and playwright William Shakespeare, in his early tragedy Titus Andronicus wrote "It is a wonderful thing to see the similarity of coherence in men's spirits." Coherence is a state of balance in our lives. Achieving coherence and consonance in our personal and professional lives is a continuous process of analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating the conditions in which we live and how we make informed decisions associated with achieving desired goals. Coaches can help us to structure our thinking, in turn decision making toward achieving coherence in our life endeavors. David Schlamm, Founder and CEO of City Connections Realty, Inc. shares "Balance is a key component of profession success. It provides a firm foundation for building a business and maintaining perspective. Balance enables coherence and stability; it unifies who we are and how we achieve our goals." Consider employing a coach and build a coaching relationship. Coaches can enable coherence.
Success requires confidence and coherent performance over time. The continuity of our performance is a key factor enabling success. Harvard Business School Professor Michael Porter writes "strategy must have continuity. It can't be constantly reinvented." Continuity is the result of planning. Planning our personal and professional lives is a challenging responsibility and task. Effective planning requires specific knowledge, competencies, and skills focused on envisioning, organizing, and implementing our thoughts and actions in order to achieve desired results. Continuity is coveted; it is necessary to be successful. Without it, visions fade and actions are rendered unproductive. Partnering with a coach can increase continuity of thought and action. It can enable consistent, long-term performance. Coaches can enable continuity.
The Roman essayist and Ambassador Plutarch wrote "A shortcut to riches is to subtract from one's desires." Our desires, visions, and goals associated with our personal and professional lives are the products of the confidence, coherence, and continuity we develop. Coaches can inform and inspire us to embrace the importance of these variables, and then help us to achieve our goals.
Coaches can enable our confidence, coherence, and continuity.

Posted April 18th, 2010 @ 10:53pm by Erik J. Barzeski
Jesper wrote this in 2008 regarding OmniWeb. Things haven't changed much since then, and OmniWeb 6 is vaporware, so Jesper's taking things into his own hands with "Rouse."
Rouse is an attempt to create a new Mac OS X web browser that steals the best bits from OmniWeb for its user interface, adds some well-needed hooks to the interior to customize rendering and loading, and otherwise stays away from scope creep as far as possible. It is an open source project doing the sort of thing that open source projects have proven to be enormously successful at.
I wish Jesper the best, and I hope he continues to ping me on AIM when he's thinking of something so that I can continue to brainstorm with him. In fact, though he's clearly been considering doing Rouse for a long time, I think me telling him to do it may have served as the final straw in his decision to start the project.
One Response to "Rouse"
Quote Me	| Reply Jesper
There was sort of a sense of impending doom about that day, yes.
I wouldn't even call OmniWeb 6 'vaporware' if we're going by the definition of "software that's been announced but hasn't shipped". It hasn't been announced either.
I should also note that the last sentence of that quote can be misinterpreted. I didn't write it as "this project is guaranteed to succeed" as much as "I know everyone will think I'm nuts, but really, for all the hard work that has to go into something like this, it has some things potentially stacked in its favor".
So far, I'm pretty pleased with the level of support and progress. Some people will see the project as dead until there's source in the repository and while I don't want to stop anyone from hacking, I also don't want to commit just anything. I think I'm already ahead of my schedule, and in due time that will become clear.

As important as it is to read the Bible for yourself and determine for yourself what you will follow, it is equally important to put those things into your heart at the ready for practical life application on a moment's notice. But isn't knowledge of truth enough? Just giving our heart to Jesus as Lord isn't enough?
James 2:19 says that even demons believe, but they are still demons and still bound for hell. It takes more than faith. There are things to do.
Do you absolutely and completely believe people will go to hell without Jesus? Do you absolutely and completely believe people have to rise above demons who believe but who are still going to hell? Do you absolutely and completely believe you could be the only one in your family's and friends' lives who care enough for their soul that you will actually say something ~ put your heart letter into words?
Do you love them more than yourself? Do you love anyone more than yourself? Do you love them enough?


A leech, a bedbug and a mosquito go into a bar.
They all order the same drink and, even though they have to pierce the skin of their prey in order to sup, all leave with their thirst quenched. Their victim is none the wiser.
None of the three can speak English, or any other human language for that matter. That would be ridiculous. Do keep up. Anyway, they nonetheless answer as truthfully and honestly as they can – by drenching him with their spit.
Once we synthesise the anaesthetic qualities generated in such saliva, the brief painful prick of the needle will be a thing of the past. More importantly, this breakthrough will aid in any number of operations and treatments, helping ameliorate or even eliminate the suffering of countless patients.
As in so many other cases; if you want to find the next great scientific advance, look to nature.
