(BARCELONA, Spain) -- Private Media Group Inc. (Nasdaq: PRVT - news), worldwide leader in premium-quality, adult entertainment products, services and Internet content, today announced that its joint venture partner Zone Vision, operator of the Private Blue channel on BSkyB and Telewest in the UK, and Broadcasting Gaia Ltd. has entered into an exclusive arrangement in order to distribute a second Private branded adult TV-Channel 'Private Girls' on the BSkyB platform.
Following the success of Private Blue, which offers top quality adult films on UK television, over 5 million Sky subscribers will be able to receive the new channel Private Girls on a Pay-per-Night basis. The channel is broadcast between 8:30 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. every night.
Private Girls offers a channel dedicated to girls only, offering all the glamour, excitement, high quality and big budget productions of Private Blue.

With the TV-Channels Private Blue and Private Girls our commercial presence has increased on UK television. The second Private branded channel gives us even broader visibility and recognition in the UK. Furthermore, it is partly thanks to the enormous expansion of our broadcasting of 467.1% in sales for 2000 compared to 1999 that our overall net profit increased 170.9% in the same period. We expect this hyper growth in broadcasting to continue.''

Both colds and cancers are traditionally regarded as cryptic entities almost transcending normal biologic concepts and requiring national foundations and "categorical" approaches for their eventual solution. Holy crusades to find the causes of these illnesses have invoked hypotheses from every source except the Delphic oracle and Macbeth's witches' cauldron; strange and often wonderful, they have furnished many interesting answers, but up to now no real solutions for either colds or cancers.
It now appears that viruses cause not only colds, but also certain cancers. To this extent they are simply infectious diseases, definable biologic entities subject to methods of inquiry

Awesome hoodie
Pretty warn and steezin. Awesome fit and great for those chilly mornings.
Got this for my husband for his birthday. He told me he liked the saffron- which in the picture we thought would be a brighter yellow- it is def. more of an orange color- a deep orange/yellow. His other burton jacket is a small, so I ordered a small in this and it fits- still a little big and he wears a medium in other brands, so Burton runs a quite large I guess. We exchanged the saffron for the navy, and it's perfect.

It's the fall. School is back in session. Football rules the t.v. stations. And the most anticipated video games of the year appear in retail stores. The titles I'm looking most forward to? GTA V, COD: Ghosts, Batman: Arkham Origins and Castlevania: Lords of Shadows 2. Just sharin'.

End of Summer
by simon_levane on Comments
The end of the summer is near. And so is my love for video games. Or I should say, my obession with them as a hobby. I am picking up "Darksiders II" because it looks like wicked fun. But this fall, I don't think I'll be going **** crazy for the new titles. "Assassin's Creed III" looks great, but ultimately like a "Red Dead Revolver"-esque action game. I've never been a big "Halo" fan, so part 4 isn't essential to my buy list. I'll probably pick up "Hitman", but only because it's been awhile since "Blood Money". And "Resident Evil 6" looks good too, but it doesn't look revolutionary like 2005's RE 4. Of course, "Black Ops II" will be the big seller once again. The only reason I'll get it is because my buddy loves Treyarch's "Zombies". So, yes, I think games have ceased to thrill me. I've said that before, but I think I'm telling the truth now. Well, at least until the consoles start showing promising new titles. The constant barrage of sequels is probably what is tiring me out.
March is like the holiday season all over again.
by simon_levane on Comments
Mar 6th: "Mass Effect 3", "Street Fighter X Tekken"
Mar. 13th: "Silent Hill: Downpour"
Mar. 20th: "Ninja Gaiden 3", "Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City".
And those are only the games I'm interested in.
Fall semester is over.
by simon_levane on Comments
What a year! I was enrolled for both major semesters this year (winter/spring and summer/fall). I walk the stage in May, but my degree will be mailed to me sometime in Feb.
Just reserved "Rage" and "Dark Souls"! Woo-Hoo!
by simon_levane on Comments
"Rage" on the 360 is going to rock and "Dark Souls" on the PS3 is going to kick my arse!! Can't wait!! These two along with "Gears of War 3" will be my first three new games of my new college semester.
Summer's almost over.
by simon_levane on Comments
Not that anybody has noticed, but the summer is coming to a quick end. Had fun at the movies, saw plenty in 3D. And I enjoyed L.A. Noire as well as SSF IV Arcade Edition. I also bought an HD Screen to watch Blu Rays and my favorite XBOX/PS3 games in full 1080p glory!
My Top 8 Fall Games!!
by simon_levane on Comments
This fall is a reason for gamers to be excited. With more than a few blockbuster releases, it may be just another"holiday" rush of games for some. But I haven't anticipated a lineup of games since 2004 when "Halo 2" and GTA: San Andreas were released.This is my list of must have titles on Day One: "Gears of War 3", the epic conclusion to Epic Games' kick-ass sci-fi themed shooter. My buddy and I plan to split the purchase price on it. Then there is "The Darkness II", an under-the-radar title which has the potential to be a sleeper hit. Yes, it's being released on the same day as the more anticapted "Rage" and "Twisted Metal". But I'm sure they'll be an audience for it. I'm one of them. Thirdly, there is Rocksteady's "Batman: Arkham City". I don't know anyone who didn't like their masterpiece "Batman: ArkhamAsylum", so this one's a biggie. Personally, I'm planning on reserving it at Best Buy which is offering Robin challenge rooms. Can't wait.The fourth game on my list is "Silent Hill: Downpour". Yes, the series isn't what it used to be and "Dead Space 2" may have stolen some of its thunder. But boy does it look really GOOD! I'm sure the new development team are shooting for the stars with this one and hopefully it'll be the best SH since part 2. I'm really hoping.
My fifth choice would be "Uncharted 3", Naughty Dog's follow-up to their own masterpiece sub-titled "Among Thieves". If you played that game than you'd know Naughty Dog hit the big time easily ranking them up with Infinity Ward in terms of crafters of superb cinematic action. For an encore, I'm sure they'll hit another home run.The sixth game is"Modern Warfare 3". Yes, Infinity Ward may now only be composed of half of the original team (I think), but I'm sure the Sledgehammer developers will confindently pick up the slack. Besides Survival mode seems to be awesome. Same goes for the return of Spec Ops missions. MW 3 will be my b-day present, so I can't wait to open it! The seventh game I'd like would be "Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City". Not only has Capcom lovingly gone back to the storyline of part 2, but the character designs of the new protagonists (actually antagonists) are reminscent of "Metal Gear Solid" which puts me in the mood for action! I've seen the videos for this and it looks quite promising. Slant Six (PSP SOCOM developers) are blending "Left4 Dead" action with a third person perspective. I'm a fan of the series and can't wait to blast zombies and Leon Kennedy as a team member.
Finally,the last game on my list would be "Saints Row: The Third". Yes, it may not be as hyped as "Uncharted 3" or "Gears 3", but it looks to be the best in the humor-filled franchise. I liked part 2, but after viewing the E3 footage, I might just fall in love with this game. How can one not having fun slapping pedestrians around with a giant rubber **** only to take flight in a jet (to create even more havoc). It looks to be the silliest GTA-clone ever. With a promising coop mode and extensive missions and customization, I think it might be the most enjoyable game on my list. Can't wait for the fall!
Fall 2011: Lots of games!
by simon_levane on Comments
Let's see there's "Gears of War 3", "Rage", "Batman: Arkham City", "Uncharted 3", "Silent Hill Downpour", "Resident Evil", "Elder Scrolls", "Dark Souls","Saint' Row: The Third","The Darkness 2", "Modern Warfare3",and "Battlefield3". Not to mention alot of other titles being released. Geez. It's going to be tough to get the essentials this fall.
School is Out!
by simon_levane on Comments
I just wanted to say that today is the first day of the summer for me. As far as college is concerned. I won't start up again until late August. So, good riddance to all the books, teachers and homework for the next three months! Freedom to have fun is here again! Yes!
Dylan Dog: Dead of Night
by simon_levane on Comments
Aside from having the worst title in movie history, this horrible-looking film reminds me of the awful 80's flick "Dead Heat". That picture starred Treat Williams and Joe Pispico (remember him?) as murdered cops who solved thier murders along with a villanous scheme in the afterlife. Just thought I'd let you know.

Product Reviews
Heather Josi5 Stars Out Of 5July 10, 2009Heather JosiThis is the single most effective way to become the size God made you! I had to replace my copy that I gave away. Studying the targeted scriptures and applying God's principles gets it from your head to your heart and manifests itself in your body. Great book!
Cheryl Benoit5 Stars Out Of 5June 25, 2008Cheryl BenoitThin Within is proving to be an answer to prayer! Because it bases eating on God's way of eating within our natural appetite controls and physical notice of being satiated, one can't improve upon that , in my opinion. I especially like the notes written by Dr. Halladay and appreciate that he is an MD. It is NOT another diet book, but instead the reader re-learns how to eat like we did as kids. Eat when you are hungry, stop when you are fool, don't turn to food for emotional reasons. Premise is simple, with lots of support. I highly recommend this to anyone.
Chris5 Stars Out Of 5April 10, 2008ChrisFantastic book from beginning to end. I love the emphasis on eating when hungry ("0") and stopping when satisfied ("5"). The authors introduce "conscious eating tips" which really have transformed the way I eat. The book deals with surrendering every part of our lives to God and as a result experiencing change from the inside out.
Joe Murphy5 Stars Out Of 5March 11, 2008Joe MurphyMy wife and I are both only half way through this book and already we are seeing amazing results. It has dramatically changed and improved our outlook on food ten fold.Backed up by the word of God and using the concepts of the old and new covenant Thin Within guided by the Holy Spirit has shown both my wife and I the correct way to eat and much much more. I recommend this book to any Christian wanting to 'release' weight or eat healthily, male or female.
Angela5 Stars Out Of 5August 9, 2005AngelaIf you like trying diet after diet to no avail, this book is NOT for you! However, if you really want success at weight loss without all the rules and strictness of what to eat this book is for you! This book not only helps you lose weight, it helps you understand your body and it also gives you medical proof of things. With this book & God's help and Grace you Can Do All Things Through Christ! Even lose weight!

My son is 9 months and been on Enfamil Gentlease since 2 months old. He was 3 weeks early so we went with a gentle formula. I just got some samples and coupons from Enfamil for Enfagrow Toddler. Anyone ever used it when using Enfamil Gentlease prior to it? I don't want any tummy issues. He's not ever really been super gassy or had problems going #2. Or should I stay on the Enfamil til he's 12 months?

I wouldnt use it until he atleast 12mo. Its made specifically for toddlers so an infant might not be able to tolerate it. I wouldnt want to chance my lo not being able to digest it very well.

YES! This is exactly what we did but we didn't do the toddler formula until Kole was about 11.5 months old. I too suggest waiting a bit to use it. Our son did great on it.
Posted 02/28/2013
I used the toddler formula at ten months and my lil iron stomach girl couldnt handel it all the time... At almsot 12 it worked great i keep some in the car incase we run out of the milk we brought with us :/

Jonah Becker brings HTC and athletic design experiences to Fitbit
Fitbit just announced that Jonah Becker is the new VP of industrial design, a week after he departed HTC. Fitbit is a leader in fitness tracking with three new compelling products.

HTC continues to focus on imaging with a new Desire handset, enhanced camera experience, and an updated Zoe collaboration app that's even coming to iOS devices.
HTC will soon be launching the new HTC Desire Eye, the top range Desire device with dual 13 megapixel cameras. Matthew Miller's gallery takes a closer look.
HTC launched the new HTC One (M8) this week along with some cool new accessories. They offer a different take on the flip cover trend and it is an enjoyable experience.
Owners of the more pure Android experience HTC One and Galaxy S4 should start seeing KitKat updates from today.
Samsung has been working to improve their Exchange email client and has it working on the Galaxy S4. They took a step back with the Note 3, but thankfully NitroDesk's TouchDown fills the void and offers enhanced experience.
The HTC One was the first Android device my wife was pleased with, but after testing out the smaller HTC One Mini she is convinced that is the better device for her.
Paul released MoDaCo.SWITCH into private beta and I am testing it out on my T-Mobile HTC One.
Paul O'Brien is showing off a beta tool he is developing, MoDaCo.SWITCH, that lets you choose between the Sense or Google Play Edition experience on your HTC One. This is the functionality enthusiasts would love to see out of the box.
Apple is going to improve the camera and photo experience with iOS 7, including new image filters and viewing tools. The HTC One already has these capabilities and a whole lot more.
The HTC One with Sense is excellent, but many have been asking for a Google Edition. Like the Galaxy S4, a Google Edition HTC One will be launching soon.
HTC released their Facebook-focused First about two months ago and then the priced dropped to just 99 cents earlier this month. Reportedly, Facebook may be delaying the UK launch as it looks at changing the Facebook Home experience.
Taxes are paid, so now it's time to start buying new mobile gear, including the HTC One and Chromebook Pixel. HTC's One is launching soon, the Facebook Home experience is coming to Android, and T-Mobile is shaking things up in the carrier world.
HTC needs to market their fantastic HTC One device and with the Live Experience Tour it looks like they are starting off on the right foot. They will also need carriers to support the HTC One in stores.
HTC is trying to change the discussion on cameras from megapixels to the full experience. They offer a new ultrapixel camera design with some slick software innovations that set the HTC One apart from everyone.
HTC BlinkFeed is the new home screen experience on the HTC One. It offers a Flipboard-like experience that I think will appeal to some smartphone owners, but frustrate others due to feed limitations.
With its unibody aluminum smartphone, HTC will finally be launching the same Android device with the same name on multiple US carriers. The HTC One combines amazing hardware with a unique software experience.
CEO of HTC Peter Chou told members of staff in an internal email that radical changes were needed within the company.
Reports suggest "inexperienced" tablet maker HTC has been shut out of Windows RT development. Microsoft playing politics, or could a poor tablet experience tarnish Windows 8's fragile outlook?
Nokia has alleged that HTC, RIM and ViewSonic have infringed on 45 Nokia patents in lawsuits filed in the US and Germany.Nokia alleged on Wednesday that the companies have variously infringed on patents covering dual function antennas, power management and multimode radios, application stores, multitasking, navigation, conversational message display, dynamic menus, data encryption and retrieval of email attachments on a mobile device.

Why dividends?
Stocks on the other hand offer you the best possible investment opportunity out there. Over 30-35% of stocks performance over the past 50 years has been attributed to dividends; the rest comes from capital gains. If you take a look at the S&P 500 from 1957- 2005, the dividends have grown on average of 5.3% per year for the index. A $1000 investment in the S&P500 in early 1957 would have provided you with an annual dividend income of about $40. In 2005 your dividend income would have grown to $610, assuming that you spent all your income. Furthermore your investment would have been worth over $32,000 by the end of 2007. With inflation assumed to be averaging around 3 - 4% per year, your investment in dividend paying stocks would provide you with an income that keeps its purchasing power year over year, which unlike fixed income securities, can also provide you with capital gains.
My strategy involves saving around half of my paycheck and investing it in the dividend achievers and high yield dividend achievers that show consistent increases in dividends over time and the ability to cover those dividends in the future. I will have my screening method and my goals for passive income on my next posts. I would also try to describe my current net worth, and how it is invested. I hope that this blog will serve as an inspiration for people and that it would change their financial lives for the better.

Thanks for stopping by!
I like your blog, its very useful for me, because I have no experience in the stock market and I have learned a lot from you.
I just have a question: have you considered creating a corporation?
Read from "Rich dad, por dad" that corporations can avoid taxes more than a single sivilian.
I found your blog a few weeks ago and I've been reading through the old posts.ReplyDelete
I've been quite interested in dividend stocks since I found that my brokerage will automatically reinvest my dividends without fees, and allows me to purchase fractional shares. (Sharebuilder)
Your site is really informative and I think it's great. Keep up the good work!

I am looking to invest some money and have no clue as to what to do. I am just learning about the terms being used and find myself confused most of the time. At this point in my life I know I need to invest in order to have a passive income but I just haven't found the right outlet. From what I have read so far it seems that stocks are the best bet but how do you narrow down which stocks to invest in?

St. Edward's School: Nov. 3: game vs. Father Lopez Catholic High School, 7 p.m.
SEBASTIAN — Students from Sebastian River High School will parade their school spirit down Indian River Drive on Thursday during the school's first homecoming parade.
It kicks off at 3:30 p.m. from the boat ramp at the corner of Main Street and Indian River Drive, ending at Riverview Park, the school's athletic director, Michael Stutzke, said.
Lineup begins at 3 p.m. and will be coordinated by the Sebastian Lion's Club.
"It's something that's long overdue," said Stutzke. "A parade is something that we have never done before for homecoming, and hopefully, the entire town will turn out."
Stutzke said he asked all of the participants to design a float around the theme of "Sharks Tame the Lions." The homecoming game is against the Lions of Olympic Heights Community High School in Boca Raton.
He also invited other schools in the community to participate in the parade.
"We want to see some creativity," said Stutzke. He said there are 26 entries in the parade with 13 floats.
Although homecoming has special meaning for seniors, it's an activity that can really raise the level of school spirit, Stutzke said.
"It's not just about a football game," said Stutzke. "This will be a chance for the entire community to come out and share our school spirit. After all, who doesn't love a parade?"
Although homecoming parades are common for high schools around the country, Stutzke said it's never been done at Sebastian River High School.
"Sebastian does a great Fourth of July parade and a Christmas parade and people really come out and support those events," said Stutzke. "Hopefully, the homecoming parade will grow into one of those events that everyone looks forward to."
The high school hasn't had a parade in the past because there really isn't a downtown area in Sebastian, he said, but since the city has seen the success of other parades down Indian River Drive, organizers thought they'd give it a try.
Celeste Howder is the cheerleading coach for Sebastian River High School and said her 14 varsity cheerleaders will be riding on top of their float in lawn chairs.
"I wanted to make their senior year as special as possible," said Howder. "The girls are very excited to be part of the homecoming parade, and have created a float we think displays school spirit."
Brittany Cardell, 17, and Lindsey Taylor, 17, are co-captains of the cheerleading squad, and are working with their teammates on creating a perfect float.
"I think it's going to be awesome to be a senior and be part of the first homecoming parade," said Brittany. "I think it will pump us all up to get ready for the football game on Friday."
Lindsey said she's busy working on details for the float, including the construction of a giant shark eating a lion. She hopes her team takes first place in the parade, which earns them a trophy donated by the Sebastian Rotary Club for their efforts.
"We really want to win the parade contest," said Lindsey. "I just hope everyone comes out to support us."

The Lesley University community congratulates Janet L. Steinmayer, a member of Lesley's Board of Trustees, on her selection as the seventh president of Mitchell College, a private college in New London, Conn.
Thursday, March 20, 2014
Her higher education experience includes service on the Board of Trustees for Lesley, where she chairs the Investment Committee, as well as board service at her alma mater Bryn Mawr. She has also served on the boards of the John F. Welch School of Business and Eagle Hill Southport, an independent school in Connecticut serving students with learning challenges.
"Janet is a proactive and strategic thinker," says Deborah Raizes, chair of the Lesley University Board of Trustees. "She can see issues globally and how they affect an individual institution. This ability has served Lesley University and our board well, and Mitchell College is extremely lucky to have someone of her caliber."
In the announcement of her selection as Mitchell's president, Steinmayer says, "I am honored to join and be part of Mitchell's talented and dedicated family."
"Janet is going to be a very effective college president. She understands the complex financial foundation of the enterprise, as well as the governance and leadership responsibilities," says Lesley President Joseph B. Moore. "But what will make her presidency so special at Mitchell is her ability to connect with people, to listen carefully and to engage in genuine discourse that helps a college community focus on its mission. The students, faculty, staff and alumni are going to appreciate having Janet as their president."

Officials at the North Central Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission [NCPRPDC] have been closely watching recent U.S. Senate and House activity.
The Senate recently postponed consideration of the FY13 Commerce-Justice-Science Appropriations bill until possibly the middle of July; Senate leaders originally anticipated to debate the annual spending bill this month, according to North Central Executive Director Eric Bridges.
A week ago, the House voted to instruct conferees to the House-Senate negotiations on the highway bill to finish their work by Friday, June 22.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Sophie Maden, brandrepublic.com, Friday, 14 October 2011 02:36PM
Nielsen said: "Publishers need to really understand the value of their inventory much more than they do today. Ikea, for example, knows exactly how many couches they have in warehouses all over the world. They have people just looking at that.
"Publishers need to do exactly the same or they won't be able to negotiate with agencies the same. If you know the value [of your online inventory], you can bring up the price."
A lot of online inventory is currently sold through ad networks, but Nielsen said that GroupM was looking to reduce the number of ad networks it traded with, from 47 to around half that number, by the end of this year.
Nielsen joined Anthony Rhind, the co-chief executive of Havas Digital; Dale Gall, the UK chief executive of Profero, and Pete Robins, co-founder of agenda21, in a debate on the evolution of trading between media agencies and publishers.
The discussion ranged through real-time bidding, demand-side platforms, exchanges and how publishers could optimise the yield from their ad inventory.
Ultimately, while the agencies offered some comfort to publishers who were prepared to invest in technology, had premium inventory and quality data on their readers, there was still the clear issue that while supply massively outstrips demand, CPMs will be difficult to drive up.
Rhind said media agencies did value digital ads, but "oversupply" of inventory was a problem for publishers.
He said: "Look at average CPM per media – digital is at zero. It doesn't mean that's the quality, it means that's the market price."

There was a time briefly in 2006 and 2007 where I considered going to law school with the goal of becoming an agent.

Who's Gonna Represent?
As the draft free-for-all heats up, Jay Z's presence in the agent game could have a huge impact on Jadeveon Clowney and other top prospects
Andrew Brandt
· More from Andrew·
Editor's Note: The weeks between the end of the college football regular season and the start of bowl games are "go time" for agents looking to represent members of the 2014 NFL draft class. Former agent Andrew Brandt detailed that recruiting process Thursday on The MMQB. Today he completes the two-part series with a look at how a rapper changed the game for him, and how another could change the game for everyone else.
'You want me to work with P?'
During my last couple of years as an agent, a good bit of my time was spent with Ricky Williams. I met Ricky when he was playing minor league baseball the summer before his junior year at Texas. He became an elite football player that season and decided to forgo his senior year to enter the 1998 NFL Draft. We filled out the necessary paperwork and had it notarized, and I was poised to send it to the NFL. Had I done so, it would have irrevocably ended his career at Texas, and he likely would have been selected fifth overall by the Bears (who instead took Curtis Enis).
Ricky, however, could be a bit fickle, so I made sure to check with him again before sending in the papers. And after going home to San Diego and talking with some NFL players, Ricky decided to stay at Texas. He loved Austin and wasn't ready to leave. I advised him of the injury risk in staying another year and of money he was passing up, but he was adamant. I sometimes think about how he, the Bears, the Saints and perhaps other teams would have been influenced had I sent in those papers without checking with Ricky one last time.

As a senior Ricky became the hottest player in football. I spent that year becoming part of Ricky's family on game weekends, strengthening the relationship with his family and fighting off many agents, including all the biggest ones, who were trying to loosen my grip on Ricky. Finally, after watching him accept the Doak Walker Award, the Heisman Trophy and play in the Cotton Bowl (in the driving rain), I formally signed him, securing the watershed client of my career.
Or so I thought.
After signing him, I was at Ricky's side wherever he went, trying to protect my asset. At some point on the road with Ricky, I noticed a different set of people hanging around, and eventually confronted Ricky about it. He revealed that they worked for No Limit Sports, a new sports management agency being started by rapper and music impresario Master P. Ricky wanted to be part of the venture and wanted me to negotiate his contract with the group.
I asked, You want me to work with P?
Ricky said, Yes, you'll love him. He's cool.
ricky-williams-master-pRicky Williams' incentive-laden rookie deal, negotiated by Master P's agency, is now seen as a disaster, and could serve as a cautionary note for 2014 prospects looking at non-traditional agents. (Judi Bottoni/AP)
With my head spinning about what to do next, I was getting calls from the Green Bay Packers, although I didn't know why. I represented third-string quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, but he didn't need a new contract. Caught up with Ricky and Master P, I ignored their calls. When we finally connected, they asked me to switch sides—to join their front office and handle contracts and football administration. After much deliberation (and negotiation with my wife to move to Green Bay) I ultimately chose the Packers over Master P and left the agent business behind.
My experience with Ricky, who is still the most interesting football player I have known, showed the commitment required to secure and handle players at the top of the draft. It was—and still is—a whirlwind, with the player owning all the leverage in the relationship.
Master P, of course, had another negotiator work on Ricky's contract, and its deficiencies have been well documented, causing fodder for agents to warn against a certain new entry into the agent business.
A new rapper enters the game
geno-smit-victor-cruz-800Jay Z's Roc Nation has inked Victor Cruz and Geno Smith; more NFL players could be on the way. (Simon Bruty/SI :: Damien Strohmeyer/SI)
Despite the lack of success by Master P, I have long thought that Jay-Z would be a formidable presence in the agent business. And he already is, fresh off the negotiation of a stunning 10-year, $240 million baseball contract for Robinson Cano with the Seattle Mariners.
The NFLPA inquiry into Jay-Z predictably went nowhere. The NFLPA represents players, not agents, and players want Jay-Z in the business.
Although Jay-Z will not be negotiating any $240 million NFL deals (twice the amount of the largest NFL contract ever), he already has secured two NFL players in New York with strong potential—the Giants' Victor Cruz and the Jets' Geno Smith. And there will be more.
To be clear, Jay-Z is not sitting down with negotiators and data analysts poring over contract specifics, guarantee language and salary cap impact. That is the job of the on-the-ground agents working with him—CAA in baseball and his hired negotiators in football. Jay-Z is the name, the presence, and the draw. As to an NFLPA inquiry into Jay-Z's recruitment of Smith, spurred by rival agents, that predictably went nowhere. The NFLPA represents players, not agents, and players want Jay-Z in the business.
Jay Z's appeal for young athletes might go beyond his agency's ability to negotiate top dollar. (Kathy Kmonicek/AP)
Jay Z's appeal for young athletes might go beyond his agency's ability to negotiate top dollar. (Kathy Kmonicek/AP)
There are now far more top players desirous of Jay-Z's interest than vice versa. One likely top pick in the upcoming 2014 draft, South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney, reportedly has made inquiries about his representation. Jay-Z provides players an A-list presence and a role model from modest roots with proven success in a variety of high-profile businesses. And, of course, the "wow" factor is important: Roc Nation (his sports management company) clients might have unprecedented access to events, introductions to entertainers and, perhaps most tempting of all, the possibility to meet Jay-Z's better half, Beyoncé.
The agent community has certainly taken notice. Some try to negatively recruit, pointing to previous failings of Master P and similar artists to briefly enter the industry, including MC Hammer and Jermaine Dupri. The smarter agents, though, will self-assess this threat and pay closer attention to players who might be potential targets for Jay-Z. One prominent agent said to me, Every agent with high-profile players, especially ones in New York, is showering those guys with service right now. Another said wistfully, I hope he doesn't want one of my guys.
I do wonder, though, whether Jay-Z will at some point lose interest in a business he hardly needs. The financial impact to Jay-Z's expansive portfolio is relatively minimal, and he can certainly have an audience with any athlete he chooses without having to actually represent them. Perhaps the allure is simply that if Jay-Z can't actually be a professional athlete, managing his private selection of elite players will satisfy that want for him.
* * *
In talking to scores of young people wanting to get into the sports business—as well as professionals wanting to make a transition to sports—there is no aspect of the industry more intriguing to them than the agent business. While it can be a fun and exciting roller coaster of a life, especially for a young person, it is hard work for sometimes demanding high-profile clients. And with the margins being reduced every year by downward competitive pressure, it is a difficult way to make a living.
Still want to be an agent?

Re: Jay-Z and Clowney
I'd forgotten about P and Ricky. Some of these kids coming out of college and landing these bank busting contracts are just babies with hand grenades. I know I'd happily sing a below market contract if I could get to meet Beyonce.

3rd/4th round prospect
NFL Draft Countdown wrote:Has good size and looks like he can still get bigger...Athletic...Moves well and is very quick...Tough player who has a football players mentality and is very aggressive...Versatile with experience at both guard and tackle...Still has a lot of upside.
I see him as a potential 3rd round pick for us. The question is does this team see him as more a OG or OT? He seems like a good fit for us as a guy that can come in and immediately compete with Shaffer for the starting job. He should be one of our top targets on the first day of the draft. And if he slips into Round 4, we should try to make a move to get him at that top of that round.
