Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (4/24/09)

The University of Florida is the #4 party school according to Playboy’s 2009 rankings.  The University of Miami is #1.  2L classes have finally come to a close.  I turned in my Legal Drafting final yesterday and just completed a 24-hour take home exam in International Human Rights Law.  I am mentally and physically drained.  […]

Navigating a business in desperate times is not something new for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Veterans of selling tickets with a bad team, the economy is only part of the puzzle the Pirates have to solve when it comes to putting fans in the seats. Posting 16 straight losing seasons forces the Pirates marketing and ticket sales divisions to get creative.

2009 World Baseball Classic = Success

Dynasty had one of its clients, Paul Rutgers, perform in the World Baseball Classic.  While his team of South Africa did not last long in the tournament, Rutgers at least showed off his dancing skills (I hope the producers of Dancing with the Stars were watching!).  Beyond Rutgers and his dancing, the World Baseball Classic […]
