...Every day, OneSeason rolls out IPOs of new players, which now includes everyone from Kobe Bryant to Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler. (Saturday hockey star Sidney Crosby debuts!) Each IPO is priced at $5 per share, and after that, the share price is determined by basic supply and demand. Fantasy sports enthusiasts, who are used to obsessing over player stats, may be surprised to find that prices aren't tied to specific performance criteria - touchdowns, home runs, rebounds.

With no dancing girls to mysteriously appear out of nowhere when a star begins to sing, and no spot-boys to keep the sets functioning, film and TV shoots have ground to a halt because of the action brought by the Federation of Western India Cine Employees. "All shoots are off. The producers have not stuck to the terms of the agreement they signed...
