MAIL-ORDER ART
2011-10-03 15:00:00 A Boston-based start-up by the name of Turning Art is snagging a page out of Netflix's rent-by-mail model and delivering fresh, rotating visuals right to its customer's doorsteps! After wading through the time-consuming ordeal of selecting the right piece for his own space, founder, Jason Gracilieri, was inspired to create something that would make it easier for others--a mail-order service that allows customers to select art from a library of replica prints and "try it out" in their homes for a monthly fee of $10/month for a standard frame and $30/month for a larger frame. There's even an accumulating ArtCredit feature that can be applied to the purchase of original pieces. Check out the following video to see how it all works:

Ricketts maybe thinking of overhaul, A Boston overhaul?
2011-06-13 23:04:00 It seems like every day now we see something written about the Cubs making a change at GM. Boston Globe baseball writer Nick Cafardo says there have been signs Tom Ricketts is thinking about that change. Cafardo details a plan for Ricketts to raid the Boston Red Sox organization to retool his Cubs.Not a bad way to go. Boston is among the teams I would like to see the Cubs emulate, along with their division counterparts New York and Tampa Bay. Cafardo speculates that Ricketts was embarrassed by the Cubs-Red Sox series, in which the Cubs were totally outclassed and seemed disinterested. A damning indictment for the current organization if true. Cafardo starts with suggesting that Ricketts add to his former...

Cubs still trying to emulate Boston?
2011-05-21 07:25:00 Gordon Wittenmyer's latest revisits Tom Ricketts' plan to model his Cubs ownership after the one in Boston. Wittenmyer says that was the specific goal of the Ricketts family after they followed the model and advice of the Red Sox' relatively new ownership during the three-year process of buying the Cubs and Wrigley Field. Some of the objectives are similar. Improve the amenities and revenue possibilities at a unique but outdated stadium. Maximize the revenue potential of one of the strongest franchise brands in the sport. Build a more productive, consistent farm system. And put an end to one of the longest, most infamous ''curses'' in sports history. ''You can't copy every page of the playbook, but certainly they've done stuff that...

Chicago Bulls Go Down To Boston Celtics
2010-12-04 14:00:00 Chicago Bulls lose, again, to Boston Celtics by an score of 92-104. When suddenly we all thought Bulls were about to take the league by storm after getting Carlos Boozer back, in fact, there couldn't of been any quicker digression in opinion. The last two games he has played since returning from injury has been one tale that none of us could've imagine or wanted any part of. First off, through the first-half of the Boston-game Derrick Rose appeared very disinterested, very passive, and non-effective with the ball in hands while Rajon Rondo was pressing full-court. He looked as though he had a hard time protecting the basketball. He also barely functioned at a high-level in the half-court due to...
