Bears continue to mortgage their future with trade for DE Gaines Adams
2009-10-17 16:30:00 As the saying goes, "One man's trash is another man's treasure." That seems to be the case in the trade in which Tampa Bay sent DE Gaines Adams to the Bears for a second-round draft pick. The 0-5 Bucs no longer saw Adams (the #4 overall pick in the 2007 draft) as a building block for their future. Somehow the Bears do. Gaines does give the Bears some flexibility at defensive end, what with Adewale Ogunleye and Mark Anderson in the final year of their contracts, but for a second-round draft pick??? I don't see that as a bargain. I see that as mortgaging the future. The Bears overpaid for Jay Culter and now they have overpaid for Adams, a...
Common talks about future album 'The Believer'
2009-10-14 05:52:00 Common speaks for a minute, all about his upcoming album entitled The Believer. He doesn't really shed news on anything we didn't know already (it's produced by Kanye West, No I.D., and Twilite Tone) but he does talk about the process of creating albums and how it changes along the way while also assuring that it will begin with some raw hip hop. Quite frankly, I'm amped for this one. There's not a whole lot of albums I've got on my horizon, at least in the near future, and while The Believer is still a long while away, it is somethin' I am lookin' forward 2 on another level.Down below is a trio of trax, led by another hot...

No Future With White Sox For Jermaine Dye?
2009-09-22 23:54:00 The White Sox are unlikely to re-sign outfielder Jermaine Dye for the 2010 season, according to Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times. Dye faces a $12MM mutual option, which won't merit consideration for the Sox. A new contract at half that amount would be a tough sell, in my opinion. It's been a strange season for the 35-year-old - he was very good in the season's first three months, OK in July, and brutal in August and September. He has no explanation for the prolonged slump, which caused him to drop from Type A to B in the Elias rankings. It would be dangerous to suggest Dye is done based on roughly 175 plate appearances. His bat is worth risking a few million bucks, though his right field defense has been consistently awful. Unfortunately it's a crowded market for designated hitters.

Man liberates future girlfriend from life as a sex slave
2009-09-09 22:35:00 Photo Credit:kingstonist via Flickr An as yet unidentified Ohio man was driven to a life of crime recently when he liberated a blowup doll from an Ohio store that specializes in adult toys, by driving through the store.The man drove a purple Dodge Neon through the front doors of an AdultMart in Vermillion, OH (about halfway between Columbus and Cleveland) and grabbed a $150 blow up doll before driving through the other side of the store to exit. Interestingly enough, the culprit knew what he was doing because after he drove through the store he ran directly to the kiosk that contained his new found love. He must have really been in love with that babe, because he initially picked...

Lexus Reveals Lf-Ch Hybrid Concept: Could be Hinting at Future Styling
2009-09-09 05:23:00 Not too long ago, Lexus let it slip that they were working on a hybrid coupe, at the time called the LF-CT, which would likely be competing in the same ring as the recently released BMW 1-Series. Now, they have offered up some sketches of the soon-to-be-revealed concept and given us its true name.
TIME Magazine Calls Jay Leno the Future of Television (Moment of Silence Pl
2009-09-04 19:13:00 Dear James Poniewozik, I hope you’re happy. And by that I mean, was it really necessary to ruin my holiday weekend by reminding me — on the cover of the the new issue of TIME Magazine no less — that Jay Leno is the future of television. I mean we’re talking about NBC here. Of course Jay Leno is the future of television. This is after-all the perennial fourth place network that is so desperate for a win, they took it upon themselves to crown Conan O’Brien the new king of late night two weeks into his tenure. The network that we’re fairly confident will import any show from any country in an effort to find the next OFFICE. Heck, over a decade later, NBC President Jeff Zucker, Kevin Reilly, Ben Silverman, Andrea Bromstad is still searching for the next FRIENDS. That, and you said it yourself, “NBC has set the bar low enough for a sleeping man to clear. If Leno can just get the ratings he did in late night, some 5 million viewers (paltry by 10 p.m. sta...

"The Real L Word: Chicago" could be in our future
2009-09-01 20:45:00 Late last night, news broke that The L Word creator Ilene Chaiken would be bringing a lesbian reality TV show to Showtime later this year. Though it'll initially be The Real L Word: Los Angeles, Ilene told Variety that she hopes it will have "franchise" potential, similar to shows like The Real Housewives which take place in several different cities every season.Of course, this leaves Chicago open to the possibility of our own lesbian reality show if the initial one really takes off.Based on the character prototypes of The L Word, here are my suggestions should casting directors head to the Midwest:...

SCRUBS’ Neil Flynn Talks the Future of the Janitor
2009-08-26 21:15:00 After eight years of successfully avoiding any actual janitorial duties, SCRUBS’ ubiquitous Janitor is packing up his cleaning supplies. But thankfully for fans of his portrayer, actor Neil Flynn, he isn’t moving far. In fact, this fall (Wednesday September 30 at 8:30PM to be exact) Flynn is trading in his mop for a minivan, joining fictional TV wife Patricia Heaton on the new half-hour laugher THE MIDDLE, where he’ll play the thankless father to three kids. (Or as Flynn describes his TV brood, “heads of state compared to [SCRUBS co-stars] Zach Braff and Donald Faison!”) Same night (Wednesday), same network (ABC), just far less work. “With SCRUBS there were so many different setups, sometimes 40 or 60 different shots,” explained Flynn when asked to compare the difference between the two shows. “Cut away to this, cutaway to that, shooting SCRUBS took a lot of time!” Not that you’ll hear Flynn complaining. “My particul...

The questionable future of the book jacket
2009-08-25 22:12:00 The future of book jackets is being discussed on NY Observer today, with special attention paid to such jacket-less books as No Impact Man by Colin Beavan, Bicycle Diaries by David Byrne, and The Adderall Diaries by Stephen Elliott, a Chicago native, all due out in September.

Pound Sterling Future
2009-08-16 09:56:00 At the end of 2008, some were fearing a collapse in the Pound, suggesting it was finished as a currency. I felt these fears were exaggerated. (Run on the Pound - What's the Panic?) (Is Pound collapsing?) True, the UK economy has significant problems, but, the UK is hardly unique in facing high government borrowing, a deep recession and the need to pursue quantitative easing. At the end of 2008, I felt the Pound would stabilise and recover a little. There were good reasons for the weak pound in 2008, but, they had been overdone.In 2009, the Pound has recovered, showing that even economists can be right occasionally. Now the Pound has recovered, it is closer to its fair value measured against purchasing power parity.The future outlook for the Pound looks more uncertain. The rise of the pound this year was hardly a reflection of underlying strength of the Pound. It was more due to the relative weakness of the other countries.With France and Germany showing signs of emerging from reces...

Treatment plans for the future
2009-08-04 17:26:00 Wednesday I have a pulmonary follow up visit at the UCSF chest clinic. What makes this appointment different, other than the fact that I will be breaking in a new Pulmonary fellow, is that we will be discussing some future treatments options, including bronchial Thermoplasty and Endobronchial Valve therapy (EBV) . At the present time, both of these procedures are still considered investigational,but both are in the process of seeking FDA approval . The latter (EBV), has never been done on an asthmatic, but because I have severe air -trapping, similar to that seen in emphysemic patients, it might be an option. I’ll go into more details about these specific treatments options in a future post. I’m also requesting a referral to be seen at the University of Pittsburgh Asthma Institute in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania . World renowned Pulmonologist and severe asthma researcher, Sally Wenzel who’s part of the SARP team, has agreed to take me on as a patient. Dr Wenzel ta...

Why Browser Is The Future Of Computing?
2009-07-20 08:12:00 Apple made the news recently by hitting 1.5 billion downloads at it’s app store. Quick to catch on, Google at the recent MobileBeat 2009 Conference said that App stores weren’t really the future. Sour grapes? Not quite. Google has long since focused on the importance of the web. From promoting Android to its latest venture, Chrome OS, Google seems to quite believe in what it preaches. Let’s look at the way things have changed when it comes to working on the Internet, from actually being content-receivers to users being content-generators, the way people work on the Internet is changing. More so, with changing technology, from Wireless to 3G, access to the internet is no longer restricted to a phone line. No wonder that people estimate almost all of the Internet will soon be access via mobile. We recently wrote about Cloud Computing. Not needing a huge hard-drive, or inbuilt software seems to go with the concept of Mobile Internet. Mobiles don’t really have t...

Dayton's 2010 class leds to questions about DePaul's future
2009-07-18 21:15:00 With the signing of Brandon Spearman the Dayton Flyers secured the fourth member of an outstanding recuiting class. Head coach Brian Gregory has amassed a class that would be formidable even in the Big East. Of course, the four players will be playing in the Atlantic 10. What does this have to do with DePaul? Well, the Blue Demons were another school in the running for Spearman - a 6'2" shooting guard from Simeon High School in Chicago. A local product, Spearman should've been a player that DePaul would have an easy time of landing. Instead, DePaul currently has a class of exactly zero players lined up for 2010. While the recent hiring of Tracy Webster should boost recruiting...
“In The Future MCommerce Transaction Limit To Be Decided By Individua
2009-07-16 08:40:00 This past week we met Mr. Ajay Adiseshann, Founder Of Paymate - A mobile payments solutions company at Startup Saturday in Mumbai. We had an interesting conversion with him on the recent RBI guidelines for credit card payments and its impact on ecommerce and mobile commerce. Here are snippets of our discussion and Insights from the same: In Future Banks To Decide MCommerce Limit Themselves Ajay was of the opinion that in the near future RBI will leave it to their respective banks to set a limit on mcommerce. He stated that based on his interactions with the RBI this is already being thought over and should be implemented sooner rather than later. The premise for this would be the fact that banks are in the best position to decide the amount of risk they can take. Credit Card Regulation Not To Have A Major Impact Ajay also stated that the recent RBI regulation on credit card verification which is reported to have a major impact on Mcommerce as the extra pin would only be required a...
