I have had a few days off to catch this kids. I implore you to watch the latest creation of the genius that is Ken Burns. The Roosevelts: an Intimate History is a fabulous documentary about an extraordinary family, that paved our future as we know it today. These were amazing people under unbelievable circumstances and the story of how they got us through the Great War, began & solidified the United Nations & created the foundation for the American Dream & Human Rights. http://video.pbs.org/program/roosevelts/

My first year of playing Fantasy Baseball I joined a keeper league. Meaning, we kept 5 players from our team the previous year. Tony Gwynn was my first keeper that year, 1994. That year was shortened by the strike. The one that cancelled the World Series, but gave birth to Ken Burns wonderful documentary "Baseball", the only thing that saved the sport that year. This was the year he might have hit .400. His season was cut short as he hit .394. During his career he faced this years Hall Of Fame inductee, Greg Maddux, one of the greatest pitchers of all time and ace of the Braves staff through the 1990's, 107 times. More than any other pitcher. Maddux once said, in an interview, with the both of them, "He Owns Me!" Gwynn hit .415 against him and NEVER struck out. His stats & career speak volumes but as a person, Keith Olbermann says it best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PXSVbLhyMY&feature=youtu.be

Checkout the Net Neutrality rant by @padresj of twit.tv. The FCC needs to reclassify ISP's as Common Carriers instead of Information services so they can't make deals with large companies to give them more bandwidth and throttle bandwidth to other services that don't pay, while charging us more & more for internet when the isp's are not delivering the internet speed & coverage they promised when they originally took all the tax credits, etc. to get their networks (that we paid for) built. The rant begins about 8min. into the video & lasts until about 20min in. Find out how you can help get back Net Neutrality!!!!! Ali Spagnola's interview is a major treat as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVtCA4icmPI&feature=youtu.be&a
