The two teams have been at odds at what... Read more »
Why Bookstores Matter
2012-01-18 00:09:00 As a bibliophile, I fear the coming demise of an institution and product I love, the bookstore and the physical book. With technology, we became able first to order books online, then to buy electronic editions, both actions facilitated by one particular company. The virtual bookstore, however, could not replace several aspects of the brick-and-mortar ...

Is ESPN's coverage of UFC a matter of payback?
2012-01-16 14:26:00 It’s known as the 4 Letter Network or the “World Wide Leader in Sports” and is the most watched cable channel across the United States.

Its a matter of perspective
2011-12-31 00:07:00 Wherever you are, what you see is a matter of perspective. Your attitude shapes how you engage the senses, how open you are to intuition, and how tolerant and understanding you are to everything and everyone in your midst. What happens if you allow something to bother you? If you see a problem, know this is your chosen focus of attention. If you are solutions-oriented, your focus is on the nature of every experience that is stretching you. What stretches you now? "I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may, - light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful." - John Constable
Does Maintenance's Opinion Matter?
2011-12-30 13:14:00 Maintenance is many times mistakenly regarded as a cost center rather than revenue producer.

Does it matter how many golfers Tiger Woods had to beat at Chevron?
2011-12-06 21:02:00 An ESPN opinion piece mentioned a few reasons why Tiger Woods may have had an easier time winning his first tournament in two years, the Chevron World Challenge, but I'm not totally buying into it. The reasons? Tiger Woods with his Chevron trophy 1. Tiger Woods didn't have to beat very many players. Does it really matter how many golfers are in the field? I will concede that more players increase the chances that more than one will shine but Golfers are supposed play against par. Whether there are eighteen or seventy-five golfers, if you're playing well for four straight days, you have a chance to win.Many of the golfers in this event are already winners and/or have played well this season. They also know that Tiger Woods had won on this golf course on four previous occasions. Every golfer in the field was itching to win against Tiger Woods on Sunday in order to add it to their resume. 2. ESPN claims that the field of eighteen golfers (some of the finest players...

Does Grammar Matter with Data Governance?
2011-10-01 03:52:00 When individuals think about data governance one of the last things they often think about is grammar. In fact, most data stewards focus on the alpha numeric structure of their data or how the organization they work for categorizes different types of data. However, grammar is an important part of your data structure and their are a number of things you can do to implement policies and approaches in your data governance strategy to ensure that your data accounts for quality grammar. An area that grammar is most important when applying it to data governance is when you’re considering data elements that accept open ended information from individuals entering data into your system. This scenario may allow for data entry employees to use short hand, improper grammar, or text that only they can read. This makes it difficult to gain any value from the data you’ve collected and entered into your enterprise systems. Data Governance Tools – Grammar Checkers One of th...

Brett Garsed,Levi Clay: Live 4 Guitar Dark Matter interview with Levi Clay
2011-08-27 00:13:00 Mega Kudos to Levi Clay for pulling together this great interview, excerpt posted here. Also a big thanks to Brett Garsed for the shout out during the interview :) I guess the biggest one to mention is John Farnham, this must have been absolutely huge for you! (Readers will remember Michael Dolce saying how seeing Brett Garsed on a national broadcast in his youth changed his whole musical life) How did it come about? I'd been working as a plumber since I was 15 years old and I was about 21 at the time when I decided to take the initiative and send out demo tapes. The first tape went to Mike Varney's "Spotlight" column in Guitar Player magazine. He responded very favourably and put me in the mag so that inspired me to take the next step and send out a resume to various management and record companies. I sent a tape to the Wheatley Organisation who were managing amongst other people, John Farnham and The Little River Band so Glenn Wheatley wrote me a letter insisting I call him ...
Brett Garsed: Dark Matter review reposted
2011-08-05 15:46:00 Brett Garsed is a total master of the guitar, his playing is always inventive, interesting and never repetitive which is probably the hardest thing to achieve as a guitarist in my opinion it shows that you don?t rely or fall back on patterns but just play what you hear in your head. This album has something for everyone even though it leans more toward the Jazz Fusion side of things, try if you like Greg Howe, Andy Timmons, Joe Satriani? no actually just buy it, it?s awesome and you will love it. FULL REVIEW To buy the album head over to www.brettgarsed.com. Looks like this was reposted from http://www.guitarnoize.com/revi-ew-brett-garsed-dark-matter/ without permission. I don't remember everything I read folks... so apologies to Jon Bloomer for this faux pas on my part.
Brett Garsed: Dark Matter 5 star review
2011-07-22 00:58:00 Whereas some Prog isn?t ?metal? enough, and much Metal lacks Prog?s imagination, Dark Matter encapsulates the best of both worlds and stands alone as neither Metal or Prog. If I had to compare it to the work of another musician, I wouldn?t hesitate to put it on the same level as Joe Satriani?s recent work. But where Satch is recognizable and even somewhat predictable to a degree, Garsed is more daring and unconventional. Be it the use of jazzy chord structures or jumping bean arrangements, or any number of other unexpected twists and turns in the course he maps, Garsed isn?t afraid to go out on a limb and we are the lucky benefactors of his musical courage. This is bold, brave stuff, rife with adventurous arrangements, tones both cool and crass, and fret-burning solo work, and you aren?t likely to hear many guitar records like this. more Brett Garsed My new album "Dark Matter" will be available from www.abstractlogix.com some-time next week.

Ron Thal: alternative matter... three part interview
2011-04-30 17:19:00 "Haha, I could talk all day about this. The thing is that I?m not talking about the METALLICA's and U2?s of this world, but about guys who are trying to get their first bands together and getting their music out there. It?s about delivering the music to people in the best possible way and have a future in doing that. It?s geared towards those kind of people. Where to begin? It?s really simple. Fifteen years ago when I started putting out albums you still had all the big gatekeepers like labels and distro. There was a lot of money being allocated to promote albums and making people aware of their existence. This was before the time the internet got big. The only way to do it was through hellishly expensive ads in magazines and you didn?t get the worldwide coverage you get nowadays because of internet. If you wanted to get some visibility in a record store you had to pay 500 dollars each month on one location to have it in the listening booth. That really adds up and could wipe you o...

If you've been following me for any length of time, you already know that I have a "more than" full-time job, working (at minimum) 50 hours each week. I mention this for a very specific reason: I worked last night and, afterward, as I was running - at midnight - from point A to point B, I stepped into a large, splashy puddle. In the bone chilling night air. It. Was. Awful. My socks were immediately drenched. And it instantly made me think of all of the homeless people on the streets who aren't lucky enough to go someplace warm...

Jay Cutler: Do Mechanics Really Matter?
2010-12-31 03:13:00 Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images It should be no secret that many so called "football analysts" have consistently questioned and, in some cases, flat-out ripped Jay Cutler's mechanics. From his throwing technique to his footwork, Cutler does, at times, look to rely on his athleticism to make up for his lack of "perfect mechanics." The idea being that if Cutler simply worked harder to refine these issues, it just might be what elevates him from good to great. While all of that seems to make sense on the surface, if he's winning football games, does it really matter that much?...

Let's Hear The Conclusion To The Whole Matter...
2010-12-23 00:41:00 Bears O-Line In CampThe conclusion is; the Bears are a "very" good team with a "weak" offensive line period. Ironically, people are comparing this Bears team to the one from 2006 which made it to Super Bowl XLI. Like that team, we are proficient on Special Team with Devin Hester (The Best In The Game, and Daniel Manning returning kicks), great on defense, and a solid running attack (at times). The main difference between this team and the 2006 squad is, we are "much" better at the QB position hands-down.In 2006 we got to the Super Bowl with the "worst" QB in the league in Rex Grossman.

Looking to sell a Chicago home today? The basics matter
2010-08-29 21:06:00 The latest numbers are enough to make owners think twice before putting their residences on the market: According to the latest figures from the National Association of Realtors, July housing sales across the country fell by 27.2 percent. July sales represented a 15-year low, and the biggest one month drop in housing sales in history. Yes, that's pretty depressing. Try being a real estate agent in this housing market. That's tough, too. But Suzy Frederickson, a real estate agent with RE/MAX Team 2000 in Orland Park, has an idea of how both real estate agents and sellers can best get through this dismal housing market: They have to get back to the basics. For real estate agents, this means marketing...

Taking The "Im" Out of Impossible: A Matter of Connecting The &qu
2010-02-25 00:33:00 It is in giving several inspirational presentations to high school athletes, and programs, that I have had the distinct opportunity to truly reflect on what allows a select few athletes to achieve greatness through adversity. This "special" ingredient is something that most certainly comes from within, permitting a competitor or a team to reach beyond normal limitations. It is also a major focal point in my speaking engagements. All of us, at one time or another, have seen or heard of athletes who accomplish what looks from the outside to be impossible. You know, that unachievable goal that just can't happen.......yet, these special athletes somehow find a way of "beating the odds." Films like Rudy, Miracle, Hoosiers, Remember The Titans and others, all depict true stories of those who have not only taken on challenges like this but have succeeded in the process. They all found a way to beat the odds.
Mom forgives Tiger Woods; does it really matter what his fans think?
2010-02-19 20:15:00 An understandably weepy Tiger Woods humbled himself before family and friends today to apologize for his indiscretions. Did you feel sorry for him? I felt bad for his mom, watching her downward-cast eyes glowering noticeably away from Tiger's gaze as he spoke directly to her, espousing the importance of his Buddist upbringing and his wandering eye. Was her forgiving hug at the end of the speech out of pity or comfort? I felt even sadder for Elin and the kids who smartly chose to avoid the circus which Woods decided was an important step towards his recovery. Tiger probably should never have even mentioned the wife and partner who stood by his side during his indiscretions as it sullied her name. Why re-hash the vision of her swinging a golf club at him? Still, today's self-imposed "intervention" was a step that Tiger Woods felt he needed towards recovery. The public is always ready to forgive, but will we ever forget? Most of the world is guilty of their own sins and would like...
Should Giannoulias' lending record matter?
2010-02-04 21:00:00 Over the last few weeks as the Giannoulias family's Broadway Bank has come into news headlines for nearly failing. Alexi Giannoulias, now the Democratic party candidate for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Rolan Burris, is coming under fire for his possible involvement in the bank's lending problems. A good summary of the issues is available here from the New York Times. Alexi has avoided answering a lot of questions, although NYT cites that he is reponsible for 9 percent, or almost $22 million of the bank's bad loans. When you look at it, $22 million over the four years he worked at the bank is a drop in the bucket. $22 million accounts for probably between 20 and...
