A recent survey of over 1,200 employed adults found that granting “Summer Fridays” would make these employees have a more productive work week. Summer Fridays would involve having all Fridays off or shortening the work day.

Not only did the individual’s surveyed report that incorporating summer Fridays would improve their work-life balance, they also said it would boost their overall morale and allow for increased productivity.

About 12% of the employees surveyed are currently offered a summer policy. Individuals who are granted a summer Friday reported that they use this time to kick off their weekend one day early or use it to catch up on chores to allow more time to enjoy the weekend.

Forbes.com has recently released their Celebrity 100 list of 2012 and the ones that came out on top sure do it all! Back in the day, you were considered a celebrity if you just simply sang, danced or acted.  Nowadays, celebrities are in competition with clothing lines, fragrances, restaurants and various other investments.  

For the first time ever, Jennifer Lopez has landed the number one spot on the celebrity 100 list this year. Over the past12 months, Lopez has earned $52 million and an enormous amount of fame and spotlight. For a long time, many thought that Lopez’ career was over. However, in 2010, she landed a judging seat on American Idol which opened up many doors.  American Idol put Lopez on a pedestal to re-launch her career and make it better than ever.

Coming in at number two is Oprah Winfrey. This media powerhouse remains on top, despite an earnings drop this past year. Winfrey has also come out on top on many of Forbes list. She is #2 on the celebrity 100 list, #1 in money, #1 in TV/Radio, #13 in Press, #18 in social and #19 in Web.

Landing the number 3 spot is teen pop star and sensation Justin Bieber. “Bieber-Fever” has certainly taken off over the past twelve months and shows in the young Canadians earnings. As of May 2012, Biebers earnings are estimated to be around $55 million. Bieber sold over 12 million albums since his 2009 debut and has 21 million Twitter followers! His first single “Baby” got 750 million views which made it the most-watched video in all of YouTube’s history.  Along with Winfrey, Bieber is another name seen amongst the top on many of Forbes lists. He comes in at #3 on the celebrity 100, #24 in money, #4 in TV/Radio, #9 in Press, #3 in social and #9 in web!

Coming in at the number four spot is Barbados native and music sensation, Rihanna. As of May 2012, Rihanna’s earnings are a reported $53 million.  This is the first time Rihanna has appeared on the celebrity 100 list and after this past year, it isn’t a surprise to see her on the list. With new hit singles, performing over 85 shows in the past 12 months, and a new fragrance, it is no wonder Rihanna has come out on top!

And last but not least, coming in at the number five spot is Lady Gaga.  Although Lady Gaga was at number one on the celebrity 100 list last year, because of a lack of touring this past year, Gaga lands at number five. However, the young celeb remains on top due to her powerful social media influence. As of May, Gaga’s earnings are at a reported $52 million.

Last night, the New York Rangers faced off against the New Jersey Devils in the first game in hopes of making it to the National Hockey League’s Stanley Cup Playoff's. It is reported that seats averaged almost $800 on the secondary market.

The semi-finals kicked off in New York City at Madison Square Garden. The Rangers are scheduled to host the devils in the first two games played in the best out of seven in the Eastern Conference finals. The New York Rangers are scheduled to host games 1,2,5 and 7 while the New Jersey Devils are scheduled to host games 3,4 and 6.

The cost of a ticket for the games played at Madison Square Garden average at $931, which is more than 51% higher for the $615 average price per ticket at the Prudential Center in Newark.  With potential to have the Devils host three games at the Prudential Center, it is easy to assume that there will be quite the turnout of New York Ranger fans at the Prudential Center.

According to TiqIQ, an online resale ticket marker, there has been a 4 to 1 ratio of New York to New Jersey fans purchasing tickets. The average ticket price of $781 for this series is the highest average price in the Eastern and Western conference.
