Mobile garden hopes to hit the rails next April
2009-10-20 13:00:00 Joe Baldwin is hoping to bring a native plant garden to the masses via a flatbed CTA car next spring.Baldwin is talking with the CTA about all the details. A CTA spokeswoman said there is no agreement yet, but the transit agency is putting together a cost estimate. The CTA still needs more technical information and whether it's even feasible. Some details can be found at the Mobile Garden site, including prototype photos like the one shown here. Good luck on this. Seems like a cool, but possibly expensive project....

Hopes for a nice place to get a cuppa joe at the rail station
2009-09-23 12:50:00 (Read the first two installments on the CTA's contract with Jones Lang LaSalle.) Toward the end of our visit, I asked both the CTA's Bill Trumbull and JLL's Sandra Greene about what successes they hoped to accomplish in the next year. Greene gave both a corporate and more human response:"We hope to make reasonable and realistic accomplishments in providing more revenue to the CTA." That's corporate speak, of course. "But I'd also like to be able to sit and have a cup of coffee with you right here," she added, gesturing to the empty storefront at Granville. Yep, that's appeals to the human side in all of us. Trumbull summed it up like this: "The stations are anchors for the...
Red Stars hopes of landing a spot in the playoffs fade
2009-07-21 20:40:00 The Red Stars played Sky Blue FC on Sunday and were missing several starters- Carli Lloyd, Megan Rapinoe, Lindsay Tarpley and Karen Carney- all out due to national team call ups. Because of this, the Red Stars had an opportunity to start players who typically only see playing time for the last 10-20 minutes of the game. Both, Danesha Adams and Ella Masar, started up top with Cristiane, while Lydia Vandenbergh started as an outside back on the defensive end.The Red Stars had several scoring opporutnities, including two rockets from Adams and a header from midfielder, Chioma Igwe, that went just wide of the goal. In the end, the Stars were never able to capitalize on their scoring opporutnities, this...
Microsoft On A Lay Off Spree: Hopes Pinned On Windows 7 And Office 2010
2009-05-14 12:15:00 Microsoft Corporation is on lay off spree handling pink slips to 3000 people in May despite eliminating 1400 jobs in January this year. In January, Microsoft had disclosed plans to eliminate 5,000 positions, more than 5% of its global work force consisting 96,000 full-time workers it employed at the time and was also buoyed by the fact that its net income fell 11 per cent for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. Most of the job cuts were in U.S but it recently struck Indian soil when it decided to lay off 55 employees working in Indian operations. This severe action is being taken to cut costs in various business divisions to counter the turbulence faced by declining IT budgets at Top companies and even by SME’s . The scenario is worse even though global economy is on recovering path as it showed first ever drop in revenues to decline 6% in March quarter. The pressure on topline is due to the slackening vista sales as buyers ripple under the fear of Windows 7 launch coming as an ...

Manny's Suspension Boosts Giants' Hopes
2009-05-08 22:34:00 I can't deny that the Manny Ramirez 50-game suspension bodes well for the Giants. Ramirez was arguably the National League's most valuable player through the month of April and early May. However, it's certainly no ticket to the postseason for this team, and they shouldn't be treating it as such.Most of the Bay Area sports media beat the Ramirez story to a pulp on Thursday, but every single one of them were sending the same message; This now opens a door for the Giants in the division. I agree with this to an extent, but let's not forget, Ramirez is only going to be gone until July 3rd, so the Dodgers will have him back in plenty of time (3 months to be exact) to get back to where they are now. Also, the Dodgers were really taking off and kind of separating themselves from the rest of the National League, and they aren't sitting at 21-9 just because of the mercurial Ramirez. The team has talent up and down the roster. They still have Andre Eithier, Matt Kemp, Russel Martin, Ja...

Then again, if they say it's good I might get my hopes up and have them das
2009-03-03 15:55:00 I invited Sweetie to go see "Watchmen" this morning because I wanted to be romantic -- and while asking my wife to go see a movie based on a weird and overrated comic book may not seem romantic, it is, because I don't want to see the movie, she does. So I'm being romantic by caving in and taking her to see it. (She hasn't accepted yet; somehow, I thought that those tense moments where you wait to see if she'll go out with you would end when I got married.)Sweetie wants to see "Watchmen," I expect, because of all the hype -- ads are touting it, people are talking it up on the Internet, comic book geeks are marching across the country by candelight to pay homage to the visionary director who... blah blah blah.I hope it's good. I hope it lives up to all the hype.

Hopes on Foreclosure Plan
2009-03-02 14:24:00 After the federal government took over the lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac last year, the two enacted a sweeping plan to stave off foreclosures which included setting up a moratorium on them till 2009 and finding out ways to cut payments. Despite all these efforts, many ended up back in front of James Frazier to be sold. And Frazier, the master commissioner of the Fayette Circuit Court, said suspects that stimulus package by President Barack Obama announced last week might have just the same results. Many large banks have committed to a moratorium on foreclosures until the plan can be enacted. James Frazier like many in Central Kentucky appreciated the president’s effort but is skeptical that the plan will do any better than those that preceded it. That notion has not been lost on homeowners in danger of being foreclosed upon. The day after Obama’s plan was unveiled, Community Ventures Corp., which provides assistance to distressed mortgage bearers, had receiv...

McBush Hopes For A ?Prayer From The Faithful?
2008-08-15 00:33:00 This post from Chris Bowers at Open Left reminds us that both all-but-named nominees for president will appear with The Rev. Rick Warren on Saturday at a forum in the ?heartland? of Southern California (and I totally agree with Bowers? interpretation of the implied intolerance in that label).This is significant because, to their credit, some of the ?fundies? who actually DO care about trying to better our world have had enough of getting pretty much ignored by the Repugs over the last eight years after they've voted, to the point where they are very much ?in play? in this election, forcing McBush to try and win them over (should be fun ? part of that is due to the fact that a bit of a split is taking place between older and younger Christians, with the latter trending towards Obama, as noted here).As he attempts to do that, though, I?d be interested in hearing his explanation as to why he was apparently too busy to attend this ?faith gathering?

Bill Hall Hopes For Trade
2008-06-03 01:40:00 According to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, third baseman Bill Hall would prefer to be traded. He's unhappy about losing playing time to Russell Branyan, and believes his willingness to switch positions in each of the last two seasons should've bought him more latitude. Hall, 28, is hitting .225/.295/.418 in 201 plate appearances. He's a year removed from his last .800+ OPS month. Would positional stability help Hall return to his 35 home run form? Will any team have the patience to find out? Hall earns $4.8MM this year, $6.8MM in '09, and $8.4MM in '10 (with a $9.25MM option for '11). I can't imagine much of a trade market for him given his recent hitting. Can you think of a team with a need at third or short that would make sense for Hall?

Or at least, most know the most recent developments, as the series' beginning at the end of January has been so long-running and drawn out that many have put the early developments out of mind. When DailyTech last reported on the ongoing drama, billionaire Icahn was preparing his board ouster with the help of potential future board member and vocal billionaire blogger Mark Cuban. Microsoft said that it didn't want Yahoo, when Yahoo expressed fresh interest, but it softened a bit and applied for FTC approval of buying a portion of Yahoo stock to help Icahn, a pro-merger enthusiast, succeed in his takeover bid.

Apple Hopes to Cash in With Ringtones, Music Downloads For iPhone
2008-05-24 16:45:00 Apple and music label have high hopes that new music offerings will yield big profits.There's some moving and shaking going on between Apple and the major music labels. Preceding the release of the new 3G iPhone, Apple is looking for new ways to cash in on its growing popularity. And music labels are hoping to get perks of their own, by haggling with Apple to loosen some of its long time policies which have irked the labels.First, Apple and the labels are in talks for possible over-the-air downloads. Previously, the iPhone could not directly download songs via its cellular broadband network. However, thanks to faster speeds from the 3G networks, it should be possible at last to download songs on the go.Standing in the way are the music labels who are arguing that Apple needs to pay a higher price for over-the-air downloads, as opposed to standard downloads. The labels current sell standard downloads wholesale for 70 cents, which Apple in turn resells on its iTunes store for 99...
