...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. So if Peyton Manning throws five touchdown passes on Sunday, his price won't automatically shoot...
...shaky fundamentals, OneSeason's early returns are strong. By the end of its second day of existence, the site attracted about 2,000 accounts. The market value of all shares has already passed $300,000. And if the site remains successful, sports marketers might want to pay attention. The price paid for an athlete's synthetic share could be a pretty sharp measure of fan perception.

...surprising, Genentech's own board balked at the offer, which came to $89 a share. That price will surely rise--to more than $100 a share, by some estimates--but the deal will almost definitely go through. Nonetheless, Roche will have to work hard to hang on to Genentech's laid-back culture, one that has always attracted top minds. "They know there won't be the same flexibility and creativity Genentech is known for," says biotech analyst Geoff Porges of Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. "Roche is perhaps the industry's most brilliant acquirer, but it has never shown...
...make their way back to dorms long after dusk. Given that the University has not only accommodated but also incentivized our late night lifestyle, some onus inevitably shifts onto the administration to expand security budgets or explore new safety measures to protect students. A University should not put a price on student safety. Finally, the Staff’s view of campus security neglects to address the way in which this is a gender issue. Female undergraduates face far more threats to their safety and are assaulted at much higher rates than men. Blue light stations provide little consolation...
