Delmon Young Arrested for Alleged Anti-Semitic Tirade

Delmon Young, the starting left fielder for the Detroit Tigers, was arrested this morning outside a midtown Manhattan hotel after the former first round draft pick allegedly got into a fight with a panhandler wearing a yarmulke.

Police told The New York Post that Young starting screaming at the homeless man upon being approached for change, shouting ""F--king Jews! F--king Jews!"

The incident took place around 2:40 a.m. and Young proceeded to get into a physical altercation with men who confronted him about his tirade. He scratched one on the arm and pushed another to the pavement.

Sources say hotel employees rushed to the scene, sent all parties to their rooms and called 911. They added that Young appeared "highly intoxicated" before he was arrested and taken to the Midtown North Precinct.

Young, who has just one home run this season, is in town because the Tigers are scheduled to face the Yankees tonight.

A couple years ago, during a game against the Pawtucket Red Sox, the problematic outfielder threw a bat at an umpire.

Andreessen And Horowitz Explain Why The Firm?s Partners Are Donating Half Their VC Income To Charity

In the grand tradition of industry barons -- but not so much venture capitalists -- the six general partners at Andreessen Horowitz are donating at least half of the income from their investing activities to philanthropy. The firm has already been turning heads up and down Sand Hill Road, but this move might cause some whiplash. Sure, American capitalists have been donating large portions of their wealth since the 19th century. And sure, the newest generation of tech titans, like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, are following in their footsteps. But VCs have not traditionally done so, at least at the firm level; major philanthropy in the industry has mostly come from individuals, like John Doerr and Michael Moritz.

Say What You Need To Say And Do What You Have To Do

It?s not enough. ?Conversation, or lip-service (as my dad calls it), is not enough. ?It?s true, we need all the inspiration and encouragement that we can find, but action has to follow all that self talk.

According to Susan L. Reid in ?Why Positive Affirmations Can Be a Business Liability,?

?People don?t succeed with their business simply by staying positive and thinking good thoughts.?

You Have To Get Your Hands Dirty: Do The Work

Wishing just doesn?t build businesses. Susan gives 3 tips to help you move beyond the affirmation. And once you?re ready for action why not start with a little marketing strategy.

After the personal pep talk, it?s time to get moving. In ?Match Your Marketing Style to a Killer Marketing Strategy? Ivana Taylor helps you promote your business online according to your communication/marketing style.

Are you an introvert or an extrovert??Ivana gives a quick plan for each. And if you?re like me, you walk that middle road personality test after personality test, then take tips from both sides. ?The point is to get unstuck by playing to your natural communication style. Grab what works and implement one at least one this week.

And here?s one last thing to consider.

Take action, But Don?t Hurt Yourself

In ?Are Big Companies Better Innovators Than Small Ones?? Anita Campbell says,

?With limited resources in staff and financing, getting a new idea off the ground can be far more difficult and take longer than it does for a big company. And, since small companies are typically obsessed with saving money on legal fees, they may skip key steps that are essential to protect their ideas.?

I understand that small business obsession to save money, and while it?s true that resources don?t run as deep inside small companies as they do in corporations, what we can ?afford? ? on some level ? is governed by perception. Ultimately, we can ?afford? whatever we have to.

It?s just a matter of understanding the benefits for expenses like legal fees, the cost of marketing, staff training and better customer service.? Once you get the value, you can always find a way to make it work.

Say what you need to say to keep yourself inspired, but do what you have to do to keep yourself moving forward.
