To your local book seller and buy Hellhound on His Trail by Hampton Sides. It is the best book I have read this year, meticulously researched and written. It is a book about the lives of Martin Luther King Jr. and James Earl Ray and their collision of fate and the history of our country in the 60s. I couldn’t put it down. I devoured it. It is a magnificent work. Worth your time and money.

DC Buys a Lot of Stuff
And that is good; for merchants and for people. Click here to see what I mean.
This new category of e-commerce is exploding; it is now everywhere; it is creating a new kind of virtual currency.
Groupon; a company with a double bottom line business model; doing well by doing good. Amazing metrics.
Steve’s Dad
Steve Geenberg is my friend; he also represents our sports teams as an investment banker at Allen and Co. He is a great guy.
This is a movie about his dad; Hank Greenberg. A great film to watch as the summer starts its end; and baseball season heats up with pennant races.I love this film. On Snagfilms.com.
Another One on Bloggers in Press Rooms
Here is a mature and well written piece on the issues at hand.
Everyone knows where I stand and where we as a franchise stand on the matter.
And I am a blogger — I read a lot too — and in my blog — I link to many articles from main stream media and bloggers as well.
I am non denominational in my linking; if it is a good and thoughtful piece — I offer “link love”; and I am not afraid to take to task anyone on my blog when someone writes something I disagree with — that is the power of interactivity.
As I noted — there are 200 million bloggers around the world now — this isn’t a fad — this is mainstream.
Also — why aren’t more owners doing daily blogging? Or answering all fan email? Jump in the water — it is nice and warm and inviting, I promise.
Hope You Like It

Facebook – Arrgghhh
Facebook is experimenting with a new security system.
In order to get into my account today it is asking me to identify people from their photos to make sure it is really me trying to get into my account.
I have 5,000 friends on Facebook - most of whom I have never met.
I can’t answer the questions. I can’t access my account. I have tried twice and I have failed twice.
There must be a better way Facebook. I have to be one of your best accounts and I can’t get in. This new way to secure an account isn’t efficient for someone like me on Facebook. Weird. The only person who came up that I recognized was Capstronaut - true story!
