After 1,500 Years, an Index to the Talmud’s Labyrinths, With Roots in the Bronx
December 27, 2011 -- The New York Times
Daniel Retter's compilation of an index to the 63-volume, 1,500-year-old Torah is covered in this article. It took Daniel seven years to create the index, which he says he did, in part, because the lack of an index frustrated him, especially because as an attorney, he is used to indexes attached to books of statutes and case law.

NFL warning sponsors about deals with players trade group
March 27, 2011 -- Sports Business Journal
Barry Werbin says the NFL's and franchises' websites are primarily informational -- and the players public figures -- which means the league is probably on safe ground continuing to use players' likenesses during the lockout. He says he understands the players' ire but says the league's First Amendment rights to disseminate information probably will prevail.

Rogers gets a look at Leafs' books
December 3, 2010 -- The Toronto Star
Irwin Kishner helps examine the possibility that Canadian cable company Rogers Communications, which already owns Major League Baseball's Toronto Blue Jays, would buy a controlling share of Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment, which owns the NHL's Maple Leafs, NBA's Raptors, a soccer team, a minor league hockey team, and several arenas. He notes that media companies and sports enterprises tend to be a good match, and that locking up a local market is valuable, making a Rogers ownership of MLSE a sensible move.

He helps analyze the likelihood that a major Canadian media company is poised to buy one of that nation's premier portfolios of pro sports teams and venues.

Why Disney Nabbed Playdom
August 2, 2010 -- InternetEvolution.com
Disney's $763 million acquisition of Playdom -- one of the big three developers of social games played on Facebook, MySpace, and the other social networks -- was shrewd, John Rogers says. The acquisition makes sense because it puts Disney in a micro-transaction-based business and also positions the entertainment giant to create games around its library of characters, he says, adding that social gaming is here to stay and will grow over time.

Tribune-creditor pact only delays legal battle

Stephen Selbst says a settlement between Tribune Co and its creditors -- aimed at ending the media company's bankruptcy and possibly the liability of its chairman, Sam Zell -- is not certain to be successful, in part because the original deal came at the height of the LBO fervor, failed shortly thereafter, and apparently was overleveraged.
