Shabbat Shalom from Key Largo, where we have managed to avoid some pretty bad storms brewing to the north.  I will be heading back up to Miami later in the day and hopefully take some of the 2014 World Golf Championships at Doral during the weekend.  Next weekend I am off to Dallas, where I will be attending my first ever Ultimate Fighting Championship event.  This week on FORBES: (1) Student-Athletes May Wait A While For Answer On Unionization, But Gaining Ground No Matter The Outcome; (2) Jay Z Picks Former Florida Panthers Exec To Be President, Chief Of Branding And Strategy At Roc Nation; (3) Budweiser And FOX Sports Announce FIFA World Cup Documentary Series Campaign; and (4) Chandler Parsons Adds To Smart And Sexy Endorsement Portfolio With Sock Partnership.  And as always, the weekly wrap-up:
