Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (7/16/2010)

I am smack in the middle of my last full-length Florida Bar Practice Exam.  Today, the focus is Day 2 of the exam – the Multistate Portion, which is a whopping 6 hours of 200 multiple choice questions.  Envy me yet?  I know I have been bitching a lot about this test; hopefully I haven’t totally pissed you off yet.  The overseas basketball market is starting to fire up a bit.  Fielded a few inquiries for my players over the past two weeks.  Much more will be coming soon.  Created a new partnership with another company that will benefit Belmo.  May be making some additions to our baseball division soon as well.  Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

• The team will become the UFL’s 6th team in 2011 [UFL makes it official in Norfolk].

Basketball
