The Easiest Decision Tom Ricketts Will Ever Make
2009-11-02 04:35:00 Tom Ricketts has a lot of tough decisions to make, but this shouldn't be one of them.Since Tom Ricketts was officially announced as the Cubs new owner this week, everyone and their brother have written their thoughts on what his first moves should be. And now it's my turn.Only mine is easier, something that doesn't require eating Milton Bradley's contract, or magically finding a team that wants Alfonso Soriano, or even doling out a big contract to yet another free agent. It will cost relatively little, and be easily implemented.Baseball America came out on Friday with their draft spending list, a ranking of the total amount of money each major league team spent to sign the players they selected in...

Bad Timing In Missile Defense Decision
2009-09-18 14:06:00 So President Obama is scrapping the Bush “Missile Defense program” that was planned to protect Europe from Iran. Yes, I know. There is some question if the missile defense was any good against the actual threat, and all it seemed to do is irritate Russia. And it’s not like the program would merely be scrapped: there ...
McBride's 2010 Decision: Exploring a few possibilities

Well, I asked the 37-year-old McBride - who is in the last year of his contract with the Fire - just that question after the Fire's practice last Thursday. Here is what the Arlington Heights native had to say... "I don't know. I think the main thing for me right now is to focus on these last six games and then the playoffs," he said. "I think that the organization wants to make all of those decisions later on so I'm not going to focus on them right now. I'm just focused on doing whatever I can to help the...

Decision Making On Money, Love, Work & Health: Why Decisions Errors Are Mad
2009-08-31 14:15:00 Decision making is something that happens throughout our day but with different degrees of importance, urgency and consequential outcomes. Your life at this very moment is the result of every decision you have made along the way. There is no doubt how easy life will turn out to be, if we can make good decisions quickly and easily. But we both know that in reality decision making is not that clear cut! Everyone makes wrong decisions sometimes or bad ones for that. I am sure you can recall moments where you said to yourself, ?I wish I didn't make THAT decision?. How many times have you heard stories about smart people making stupid decisions with their money? This happens all too often and baffles everyone. Have you ever wondered why intelligent, sensible people make such mistakes and rash decisions? Guidelines, strategies that tell us how to make a decision. Sadly, it doesn?t always produce a correct answer. However, sometimes they are the reasons why people make the wrong decision...

Quinn and Tollway: No decision, yet, on Route 53 extension
2009-08-14 11:30:00 Representatives for Governor Quinn and for the Illinois Toll Highway Authority informed Godless in Chicago, yesterday, that no decision has been made, yet, regarding the proposal to extend Route 53 north into and through Lake County. However, I have more information from them, below. As indicated in this post from Wednesday, the extension of Route 53, from Lake-Cook County Line Road near Buffalo Grove, to Illinois Route 120 near Grayslake, and then east to the Tri-State Tollway (Interstate 94) near Waukegan, is an extremely high priority to drivers in the area. This missing highway link, for which the right-of-way has already been reserved, not only affects drivers in Lake County, but also in northern Cook County as well.

Guardian Council's Decision
2009-06-23 16:57:00 Iran's Guardian Council, a very powerful legislative body in charge of vetting candidates and observing elections -- among its other duties -- has recently announced that the Iranian presidential election results stands.The Council had undergone a partial recount of disputed ballots, although Mousavi and Karroubi had rejected the move, calling for a completely new election. At this point, it's essentially guaranteed that Ahmadinejad will serve a second term. There wasn't really another rational option left open to the Council, in my opinion. Since there had been so much unrest following the election, any move de-legitimizing the outcome would almost definitely incite more protests and violence.Wandering around Tehran these past few days, I only heard whispers of protests and according to...

The California Supreme Court’s Illogical Prop 8 Decision
2009-05-27 09:42:00 More at Zennie62.com | Follow me on Twitter! | Get my widget! On YouTube Tuesday, May 26, 2009 will go down as an eventful San Francisco day, sunny, and yet dark, and one that saw a lot of people marginalized who didn’t want to be. But then, who does. Before I turn to who said what, and who got arrested, I stick my head right into the belly of the beast, the California Supreme Court’s decision. Today, in first upholding Proposition 8, the voter-approved initiative to make same-sex marriage illegal that passed in November 2008, and yet protecting the 18,000 same-sex marriages that were done before the passage of the initiative, the California Supreme Court successfully stood logic on its head. I’ve just read the Court’s entire 167-page decision, and while I understand the reasons given by the majority of justices (six supporting the decision, one against it and even then the six judges that agreed were not perfect in their union) I’m concerned with the l...

The Lakers Have to Make a Decision on Point
2009-05-22 15:12:00 The Lakers have got a tough choice to make on their point guard rotation. Recently, their rotation of points guards has been Derek Fisher, followed by Shannon Brown and Jordan Farmar. All of them are solid players and they make their own contributions to the Lakers. Air-ball jumpers, that's a bad contribution.To fish or not to fish, that's what I'm struggling with.Derek Fisher is in one hell of a shooting slump right now. In the first two games of the series against Denver, he's shot 6-22 from the field; a disgusting 27%. That makes me wonder why the Lakers shouldn't start Jordan Farmar. Farmar will shot the ball better and can provide some quickness to keep Chauncey on his heels. As long as Farmar's prepared to defend Billups, I'd welcome the change.After Farmar starts, Fisher could guard Anthony Carter. Carter is not a big part of the Denver offense and is an easy guard because he's not a very good jump shooter. Brown could also guard Carter. It's just a matter of who Phi...

Read this..."At a time when Mark Teixeira's decision about where he wants to sign is seemingly imminent, the Baltimore Orioles' negotiations for the free-agent first baseman appear dormant. The Yankees, on the other hand, continue to review their options, preparing for the possibility -- however real it is -- that Teixeira might make them an offer that they couldn't refuse.The Boston Red Sox or the Washington Nationals continue to be the most likely destinations for Teixeira, executives involved in the process believe -- the Red Sox, with an offer that might be in the range of $170 million, and the Nationals perhaps with a proposal greater than that of Boston."That's it for now.

Court of Federal Claims Decision Paves the Way for Contractors to Challenge
2008-12-12 13:45:00 In an interesting decision issued by the United States Court of Federal Claims on November 25, 2008, in a case entitled BLR Group of America, Inc. vs. United States, the Court ruled that it had jurisdiction to consider a contractor’s claim that a Contractor Performance Assessment Report (“CPAR”) was “false and highly prejudicial.” The case arose because the Air Force had assigned a final performance rating of “Marginal” to the contractor in several categories, and had refused to amend the rating pursuant to a rebuttal presented by the contractor. Instead, the Air Force disseminated the rating by posting it on the Past Performance Informational Retrieval System (“PPIRS”), a database of performance ratings accessed by contracting officers while making contractor responsibility determinations and while conducting past performance evaluations during the source selection process on negotiated procurements.

On McCain’s Decision to Debate
2008-09-27 00:30:00 Despite my initial ambivalence about John McCain’s decision to suspend his campaign and come to Washington to help hammer out a bailout deal, I later concluded his “gambit had paid off” when his rival “capitulated and agreed to come to Washington for a summit organized by President Bush.” Yet, the one thing which troubled me about McCain’s bold move was that he didn’t leave himself any wiggle room to participate in tonight’s debate.  I wish he had said something like this: “Should we make headway toward reaching a bipartisan compromise on a bailout bill, I’ll fly down to Oxford to debate Senator Obama.” As a result, the MSM has portrayed his move as an “about face” (or so CNN was spinning it when I was doing my cardio about an hour ago.)  The normally even-handed (but left-leaning) Chris Cilliza concluded that McCain blinked.  Even a smart young conservative blogger has questioned McCain’s consis...

Lee's Dortmund Decision Is Sound
2008-08-30 11:54:00 Lee Young-pyo is one of football?s true gentlemen. The versatile defender is leaving Tottenham Hotspur for Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund after three good years at White Hart Lane and all who knew him, as well as those who benefitted from some of his unreported good deeds he did off the pitch in London, will wish him well at the former European champions.He wasn?t bad on the pitch too, making 93 appearances for Spurs since his move to the Lane from PSV Eindhoven in August 2005. Then, Martin Jol called him ?the best left-back in Holland, and one of the best left-backs in Europe.? Lee didn?t quite prove to be that but his hard-working performances on an undermanned left side for Tottenham should be remembered fondly by fans at the Lane. Unlike Park Ji-sung, Lee actually started out in the K-League with the now-defunct Anyang Cheetahs. The Gyeonggi team lifted the 2000 Korean championship but Lee, who can play on either side of defence or midfield, had already made his first appea...
